Mira’s Day
Despite the sun coming out from the horizon, Mira’s day doesn’t start. It is undoubtedly time to wake up. However, those eyes of hers don’t open, not at all. It has been going about feverishly in society that the lack of sleep affects beauty, but to the butler who has 10 hours of sleep a day on average, it is completely unrelatable.
According to the person herself,『I am in puberty』.
Around the time the sun showed its face entirely, and the birds started getting exhausted at indicating that it’s morning, the young girl finally sticks her legs out from her bed.
“Fua―――……sleepy”
The sleepyhead butler, who voices a single astounding sentence, regardless of having properly taken 10 hours of sleep. After that, she spent 15 minutes hesitating whether or not to go back to sleep. She resolved herself to leave the bed at last.
“Now then……”
She smacks her cheeks hard and clears her head. She combs her sepia hair with her fingers before arriving before the mirror and dunks her face into the basin filled with ice water without hesitation.
“……puhah! Kowdd”
She wipes her drenched face with a towel, carefully brushes her teeth, and her preparation is complete.
“Al――right, I’m gonna do my best today as wellー”
When she pumps herself up and checks the clock, and the clock’s needles are nine sharp. Yesterday was 10:30. The day before was 8:30. By no means is the time she wakes up fixed.
An overwhelmingly useless butler she is.
She leaves the room and gets to preparing the dishes in the kitchen. First, she plants carrots like timebombs. Why, why does she continue to stubbornly put in the carrots that Asch hates that much?
According to the person herself,『I mean, it’s delicious』
After that, she cuts the ingredients she’d stocked up the other day with a paring knife and flambé the meat with accustomed hand movements. Because her parents’ home was poor, she pretty much couldn’t use high-class ingredients at all, but she has never held back from spending money at this Taboo Mansion.
“……alright, done!”
She finishes lining up the dishes on the dining table and heads to Asch’s room with a mad dash.
Dan Dan Dan Dan!
“Asch-saーn! Please wake upー!”
“……”
No response.
“Asch-saーn, Asch-saーn, Asch-saーn!”
“Aaaaah, you’re really noisyy!”
He opens the door disgruntedly.
“I was up late last night. I’ll sleep, a bit more”
It’s 7 in the morning that he actually went to bed. A diligent Magician who’s single-mindedly repeating his experiments and verifications.
“But, breakfast is already ready”
“……”
Batan. The Dark Magician, who shuts the door without saying anything and tries to return to bed again.
Dan Dan Dan Dan!
“Asch-saーn! Please wake upー! Asch-saーn, Asch-saーn, Asch-saーn!”
“Aaaaah!”
Apparently, he is awake.
Inside this butler, breakfast is an important matter that’s prioritised over her master’s sleep.
After the master and the butler had an argument on the carrots and so on and so forth for a bit, she tidies up all the finished plates.
After that, she single-mindedly finishes the cleaning, does the preparation for lunch, for dinner, and again, single-mindedly cleans.
“Fuu……”
It had been more than a month since Mira came here, but she’s only tasked to cook and clean for the most part. Mira had only been tasked to clean, do miscellaneous tasks, and prepare the meals at home as well.
“……”
Asch, he locks himself up in the laboratory the entire day and pretty much doesn’t come outside. Without being allowed to even go out, she pretty much spends the entire day, in this Taboo Mansion.
Sure, for the first few days, she was fascinated by all kinds of rare things, but she subsequently got bored of it, and the time she spends blanking out increased as well.
“Haa……”
It’s a given that it’s not fun since it’s a job though
・・・
“Haa……are you still sleeping?”
“Huh!? Asch-san”
It’d turn completely dark when she takes a look around.
“So, what are these scattered over here?”
Asch holds a book that was placed messily and asks.
“Erm……I was bored so……but, I couldn’t read it at all and ended up falling asleep like that”
“Haa. There are no books you can read here. Quickly tidy up”
“……yees”
She didn’t plan to sleep, but it was all too unintelligible that she was struck by with terrifyingly amount of drowsiness. ‘As I thought, I’m not suited for reading’, she reconfirmed.
・・・
The next day, perhaps because she’d ended up sleeping on the job, she woke up earlier than usual. When she yawns loudly and tries to stand up, there were several books placed on her table.
There was a piece of memo, placed on top of them.
『A beginner reader like you should start from something like this』
It’s accompanied by those words.
Mira immediately holds this memo and knocks on her master’s room.
Dan Dan Dan Dan!
“Asch-san Asch-san!”
At the sound, the Dark Magician came out with a disgruntled expression.
“Wha, what is it with you!?”
“Erm……this……”
She says and sticks the memo out at Asch.
“Aah……well……er……there’s no particular deep meaning behi――”how do you read it?”
・・・
Asch tore the memo into pieces right there.
