Abnormal month

the next morning.

Hayasaka Ai and Kasumigaoka Shiu came to the master bedroom and wanted to help Roy make the bed.

Cleaning the master's bedroom is also part of the maid's job. Hayasaka Ai plans to use this morning to teach Kasumigaoka Shiu.

"My room doesn't need to be cleaned."

Roy closed the door, blocking the scene behind him, and rejected her proposal with a smile.

"From now on, there is no need to clean my room. If there is nothing important, don't come near my room. You can just clean up other places."

The two girls looked at each other.

Although they didn't understand Roy's thoughts, it was a good thing that they didn't have to clean up. They were happy to be free.

"Lord Roy, are you injured?"

Hayasaka Ai was about to leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of blood on Roy's hand.

It looked like the marks left by hitting something hard with a fist. There were many wounds on the knuckles of both hands, and the skin and flesh were torn apart, which was quite hideous.

But there was no bleeding, it had scabbed over.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu also stopped and looked at him in surprise.

How could you be so seriously injured at home?

"Huh? This one."

Roy glanced at his fist and smiled nonchalantly.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I will take care of it myself. You can go and do your work."

"I see."

Hayasaka sounded the alarm in her heart and pulled Kasumigaoka Shiu away.

After the two left, Roy's smile faded. He wrote healing runes on his knuckles and blockade runes on the bedroom door before turning around and leaving.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

It’s the last day of January.

This morning.

"Sir Roy, do you have any requirements for lunch today?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu came to the door of the study. The study in this mansion was quite spacious, bigger than two bedrooms. She knocked on the open door.

Roy was sitting at the desk, fiddling with something on the table.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't look.

Roy taught them that some magical things should not be looked at casually, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Don't eat offal."

"We're not planning on cooking dishes with offal."

"Then it'll be fine. You guys can just decide on the dishes. I'm not picky about anything else."

Roy waved his hand.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded and left.

To be honest, she is not very receptive to dishes with offal.

But at that time, food resources in this world were scarce, and today's humans would not let go of anything edible. Even things like offal, a rich variety of dishes had long been developed.

But she really didn't want to eat it, and Roy was really saved by not eating the internal organs.

"Haasaka, I'm going out."

"Wait a minute, the soy sauce is almost running out, bring a bottle with you when you come back."

"I see."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu went out carrying the vegetable basket.

Roy loves Chinese cuisine and consumes a lot of oil and salt. Especially in this world, the extraction of refined salt is much more difficult than before. It is a veritable luxury product. Soy sauce has become a must-have substitute seasoning for meals, and it is very expensive to consume. very.

After shopping in the commercial street for about half an hour, Kasumigaoka Shiu bought enough food for three people for two days. When paying, she couldn't help but sigh. Even though she was prepared, she was still shocked by the price of the food. arrive.

The same food, even vegetables, is more than five times more expensive than in her world, and some are even ten times more expensive. This is under the current situation of stable order, but how chaotic it was when the great disaster first occurred. OK.

"Senior Shiyu?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded in my ears. It was a very familiar voice.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu turned around and looked back, feeling a little joyful about meeting an acquaintance again.

"Lun...what's wrong with you?"

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses appeared not far behind her.

His face looked haggard, his lips were dry, his skin was greasy, and his face was even more pale, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights. There was also a scabbed wound on his forehead.

An Yilun also saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was still bright and beautiful, and a very forced smile appeared on his face.

"Senior, you are living a good life..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was startled by his appearance.

Although An Yilun was also a bit slovenly in the past, it was just a common problem among otakus at best, and he would never look like he is close to death like he does today.

She found a coffee shop, asked An Yilun to sit down, and ordered him some tea and snacks.

"What happened to you?"

"...I was just unlucky and met an unreasonable owner."

An Yilun also looked dull and took a sip of tea to moisturize his chapped lips.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu remembered that An Yilun was taken away by that black-skinned young man that day. She still remembered what happened that day. The Middle Eastern black-skinned man originally had a crush on her, but Roy snatched her away midway. .

At this moment, after seeing An Yilunye with a numb face, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's heart trembled.

What on earth did he go through to become like this?

Even An Yilun, who was not favored in the first place, has become like this. If she had fallen into the hands of that dark-skinned young man at the beginning, what would have happened in the end?

How many times worse than An Yilun?

When she thought of that possible scene, she felt an uncontrollable chill in her heart, and couldn't help but hug her arms tightly, as if this action could bring some warmth to herself.

"What exactly have you been through?"

"...Senior sister, can you do me a favor?"

Aki Tomoya lowered his eyes, not daring to look into Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

"I want to leave my current master, but I have no choice. My senior sister's master was able to get her out in front of that man that day, so he should be able to get me out too, right? Please, let me be a miner, a farmer, or a follower, I can do anything, I definitely don't want to stay in that hell!"

The fear on his face was clear at a glance.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't imagine what he had been through.

"... Tell me about it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't guarantee anything, so she could only agree to give it a try.

After all, she herself was just a refugee.

Back home.

Kasumigaoka Utaha put down the dishes and found Roy who was looking through documents in the living room.

"Lord Roy, there is something I want to tell you."

"What is it? Tell me."

Kasumigaoka Utaha told her conversation with Aki Tomoya just now, and even gave a rough time of when she went out, when she met Aki Tomoya, and when she separated, in order to make sure that everything was detailed.

She was also worried that she was not aware enough and might fall into the trap of other magicians and cause trouble for Roy.

"This is very troublesome."

Roy was not angry, which made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel relieved.

But she was very surprised to hear the word "trouble" from Roy.

It was not that she was dissatisfied with Roy's words that sounded a bit like a refusal. She was just a refugee and had no right to be dissatisfied. Even if Roy rejected her request, she had no way to do anything.

It was just that in her limited cognition formed after a few days of traveling through time, the Aozaki family was a very remarkable family. They knew Mayor Tosaka Rin, and the sisters in the family were also important figures in the Magic Association.

Roy, who was born in the Aozaki family, thought this was troublesome, which was beyond her expectation. In her cognition, there should not be many things that the Aozaki family in Fuyuki City could not handle.
