I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga - Chapter 191



191 – City Maid – 2

Elena’s house was empty. It felt like I was looking at a new house that had just been built, with almost no furniture or objects.

I was sitting on the sofa in Elena’s arms, looking around the house, which seemed even bigger because it was empty, and was amazed in a different way.

“This is a nominal residence.”

Elena seemed to immediately understand my question and said as she entered the kitchen.

I opened her refrigerator and took out her ingredients and saw her starting to cook.

But it wasn’t like there was nothing at all…. I thought to myself as I watched her start chopping and sautéing garlic.

But the dish she made was a simple pasta dish made with garlic stir-fried in oil.

I would say it is very simple.

As she was pouring a glass of wine, she looked this way.

“Do you want a drink too, boy?”

“No. That’s Okay.”

When I looked around the very spacious, somewhat lonely-looking house, I saw closed doors whose purpose I could not figure out.

“You can look around as much as you want.”

“Really?”

“Yes. “There is nothing that would be difficult to see.”

“……… ….”

Anyway, I just sat on the sofa quietly, wondering if I could search around the woman’s house.

With Elena’s permission, I got up from the sofa and looked around.

But really, as Elena said, there was nothing that looked difficult. Or should I say, the object itself was not there.

No matter which room you open, it is empty and there is nothing in it.

To the point where I wonder if this is okay. Just rooms with no furniture and no purpose.

“Ah… ….”

In the meantime, when I opened a room, I finally found furniture such as a bed and a wardrobe.

This is Elena’s bedroom.

Even this place looked very simple.

It was a room that had no femininity at all and even felt desolate, but the door was closed.

When I returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa, Elena was washing her dishes.

The meal time is also short.

“It must have been a boring house that wasn’t worth looking at.”

Elena’s voice was heard along with a rattling sound.

“No. Should I say it’s fun in another way? .”

It was my first time living in a house like this where there was no sense of living, so it was rather refreshing.

Still, there was no dust or dirty corners, just a clean floor.

Do I really have to say that it’s very Elena-like?

“It was fascinating.”

I expressed exactly what I felt.

She didn’t give any answer in particular.

A quiet time passed by.

There was no clock hanging, but the silence continued as if you could even hear the sound of the second hand moving.

When this happened, the excitement and heart pounding I felt before entering the house calmed down.

Should I say that such expectations, determination, and tension itself have disappeared?

She could tell that Elena had indeed summoned her to convey some business to me.

“Phew….”

I sighed softly, feeling both relieved and a little disappointed, and Elena stood in front of me.

“What’s going on?”

“Yes?”

“That sigh. “Is there something you’re worried about?”

“No, it’s the opposite.”

The worries and expectations disappeared like melting snow.

The high school boy’s excitement at being unexpectedly invited to an adult woman’s house late at night has already stopped.

“I see.”

I don’t know how Elena received my words, but she nodded helplessly and sat down.

“I… “Mr. Elena?”

“Yes.”

Just right next to me.

So close that I pushed my body beyond the reach of her shoulders.

“This sofa is very spacious.”

“Yes. “I chose what the staff recommended and this is what I got.”

“No, I’m not asking that….”

What I meant was why, in this large space, did we sit so close together as if we were passengers on a crowded subway?

“Ah… sorry. “You must have been uncomfortable.”

Elena seemed to finally realize the meaning of my words and shifted her body slightly.

However, the distance was still close.

The distance your body can reach with just a slight movement.

“There are not many places to eat at this late hour. I also have a busy schedule, so now is the only time I have free time. “I had no choice but to call the boy now.”

“…… Is that so.”

What an excuse all of a sudden.

Elena looked at me as she continued to say things she had not asked.

“I will go abroad with my master starting tomorrow.”

“Ah… ….”

I see.

Leave here.

Her sudden remark made her head go blank.

Are we going to break up with Elena here?

Will I never be able to see it again?

Just like Takase-senpai who tried to leave me. Are others slowly preparing for separation as well?

As the realization passed through her head, she was unable to respond.

“Please don’t give me those sad looks. “I am planning a schedule to return to Shiraishi as soon as possible.”

“That… is that so.”

Did I get that kind of look in my eyes?

After rubbing her nose and turning her head in embarrassment, Elena continued her explanation again.

“A week at the earliest… “It’s one month later.”

“Should I say it’s long… no… It’s short too. Ahahahaha….”

I burst out laughing while talking gibberish.

“hahahaha… Under….”

“……… ….”

Elena, who was looking at me intently, said.

“Boy. “Please don’t do anything too cute.”

“Yes?”

“I might not be able to stand it. “At least let me convey my business first.”

“W-I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

It seems like Elena’s eyes have changed, perhaps due to her mood. A little more scary.

“…… Huh.”

She cleared her throat and became serious again.

“It’s the lady’s job.”

“Ah….”

Is that true?

I adjusted my posture and sat down to face her.

And Elena told her about the job Shiraishi was offered by her father, Itsuya.

A suggestion to go abroad and learn a job like him.

Shiraishi is considering this proposal quite seriously for his sense of responsibility and obligation as the head of the family who will inherit the family in the future.

And now we are almost biased towards accepting it.

“Elder Itsuya plans to hear the lady’s answer to the proposal when he returns from this overseas trip.”

“When was that?”

“It’s next year. “Before the new semester starts.”

So, does that mean Shiraishi has come to the conclusion that he is leaving without being able to spend the semester with us?

I managed to catch my senior, but this time Shiraishi….

Somehow, I understood Shiraishi’s feelings as he showed a lukewarm response to the suggestion to persuade his senior.

What is she thinking now?

“I… “I hope that the young lady will first achieve her personal growth before learning her job.”

“That’s….”

“These are things I don’t have.”

Elena spoke without any emotion, as if it were very natural.

“Precious friends, a man I like. Precious memories with them. Things like that.”

“……… ….”

“I believe that this will be a valuable foundation for her future growth and will give her the will to endure a difficult life.”

I held my breath and was amazed.

What should I say?

This woman is really.

“So, I want you to stay here for the time being.”

“Mr. Elena….”

Even though there are adults like this, why did Shiraishi make such a departure from the world of her original work?

I even had doubts.

“Of course, the biggest reason why I thought this way….”

Elena looked straight into my eyes.

“Boy, it’s because you are.”

“Yes?”

“I thought she was running away endlessly. Therefore, I was in a position to respect and understand Itsuya’s choices so far, but….”

Her hand rested on my arm.

“After seeing the young lady with the boy, her mind changed.”

“……… ….”

“The young lady is looking for her own way out in her own way, and she is doing her best to get what she wants.”

“That’s….”

I thought that way from the beginning.

That’s why I helped Shiraishi.

“It’s all thanks to the boy being by her side.”

I bit my lip.

“Of course, I have changed too. “It’s all about watching you with such a warm heart.”

“Mr. Elena….”

She smiled while looking at me.

“In the past, I was an extremely cold and emotionless maid.”

She says she has no feelings.

“But my heart also changed as I watched the girl I loved next to her.”

She said, gently grabbing my arm.

“So, please continue to be by her side in the future.”

“……… ….”

I nodded.

“Of course next to me.”

Elena’s hand holding my wrist moved.

“Oh, what….”

Before I knew it, my hand was on her chest.

“Can you feel it? “This heart pounding.”

“No, over there…” .”

She pressed my hand on her chest.

The more I did that, the clearer the feeling of touch became.

My heart flutters too.

“I also became the same woman as I watched the girl I fell in love with.”

Perhaps due to her mood, her cheeks were slightly red.

“Otherwise, there would be no reason to invite a younger boy to the house at a time like this.”

“Eh, Elena….”

“I am prepared.”

Her heart pounded faster.

My hand buried in Elena’s chest was also shaking slightly.

Her other hand wraps around my waist.

The moment you tried to pull me in

“Wait a minute.”

I covered my mouth and shouted.

“……… ….”

Elena looked at me quietly.

“I don’t hate Elena either.”

“Then…” .”

“But… “There are still a lot of unresolved problems.”

“……… ….”

Her hand, which was pressing my hand, fell.

“When all that is resolved….”

“I understand.”

Instead, she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and hugged me.

“I can’t help it. “If the boy’s will is like that.”

“I’m sorry… “Mr. Elena.”

“No. “I guess I was too greedy.”

She sticks closely to her.

Even though it was an opportunity to go deeper, I pushed it away and had many thoughts in my head at this moment.

“You covet a boy before a young lady…” “That’s something a maid shouldn’t do.”

Hearing that, I felt like what I was about to do was very shameless, but it was already inevitable.

“Then, please hurry up and make it for me.”

Her lips bit my earlobe.

After biting and lightly kissing her, she fell.

“Your harem.”

“…… hahahaha….”

She nodded.

I sighed a little as I postponed the surprise gift.
