CH.30 Nighttime visitor

  After my bath, I put my clothes ba in preparation for dinner. But before that I o firm ohing with Laura.

  (Laura, what set had the attribute boosting spells avaible?) I ask her.

  (Master, it was Magic Ruler.) Laura answered.

  (Good. If I open some more of it tomorrow, I might get the rest of the attribute boosters. They don’t seem rare sidering I got three different ones already. That way Alice has a lot to choose from.)

  (Master already has four different attributes, fire, water, light and dark. Is it really necessary to get more?) Laura asks.

  (Not really. But it’s not like I know all the cards I get from differes. I didn’t unlock the setlists with the dungeon founding. I also want to try to get another Pot of Greed, and Magic Ruler should have it.) I tell Laura. (It also doesn’t really matter what set I’m opening, since I’m not really going for any specific cards. I would he setlists for that.)

  (I uand, Master.) Laura responded.

  —

  “Lord Brian, dinner will be served soon. Please follow me to the dining hall.” Nicole came to get me.

  “Sure.” I say to Nicole.

  We make our way to the dining room and Christina is already there. Alid Brando here yet.

  “Good evening dy Christina.” I greet her.

  “Good evening.” She responds. “Would you tell me about your trip today?”

  “You haven't heard from the baro?” I ask.

  “No. He is so busy.” She tells me.

  As I’m giving her an abridged short version of our advehe baron joins us. He then annouhe start of dinner. I give my little prayer before eating, of course. If yoing to do something like that, you o keep doing it. I might have fotten if Laura didn’t remind me.

  Our dinner was bison steak. From the bison I hunted. And some ri the side. It really is good. Meat you hunt tastes at least 30% better. But there was one problem. Well more like someone was missing.

  “Is Aliot going to join us?” I ask.

  “She said she is not feeling well, and is staying in her room.” The baron responds. I don’t want to call you a liar, but I really just don’t buy that.

  “I see. Perhaps all those goblioo much for her.” I said. I don’t really o excuse someo present, but I’ll do it anyway.

  “Did you meet goblins on your trip?” Christina asked.

  “Yes, there were some in the dungeon. I would rather not get into detail. It’s not something for a diable.” I tell her.

  “Oh, yes you founded a dungeon, didn’t you? You just have to show me something from the dungeon.” She said.

  I don’t have my fanny pack with me, and everything made by the dungeon is just clothes. I guess I could show her that.

  “Here.” I say as I pull my left sleeve up, revealing the founder’s terminal. “This is something from the dungeon.”

  “What a beautiful bracer. You don’t really see ones made of gold.” She seemed impressed. “It even has detailed carving work done on it.”

  She must want one for herself. Or maybe for Alice. “I’m sorry, but the dungeon ’t make more of them.” I tell her.

  “Ah,” She must have realized what my bracer is. “I see. That’s too bad.”

  “It make some quality cloth though, so you could get a tailor to make something for you from that.” I tell her.

  “That sounds nice.” She says.

  Our dinner cludes without any more disturbances.

  —

  Ba my room I ge into the borrowed pajamas ao bed. Good night.

  —

  I wake up, feeling someone holding onto my left arm. Did someone e in to steal my bracer? No, it shouldn’t be. Laura would definitely wake me up, if someone did. I look to my left and see a young girl with blond hair o me. Why did Alie into my bed? I really hope this doesn’t end badly.

  (Laura, what time is it?) I ask Laura. I would rather not wake up Alice right now. I need more info first.

  (It’s 3:27 am, Master.) Laura tells me.

  (And how long has Alice been here?)

  (She came in at 1:12 am.)

  (Why didn’t you wake me up?)

  (I saw it as unnecessary.) Laura said.

  (We o have a talk about what is and isn’t necessary. But I’m still sleepy, so that will have to wait.) I say and ighe girl sleepio me. Thank god I have some experience. If I didn’t this would not have ended well.

  —

  Aah… The m sun. The best and the most blinding suhe most blinding except for the one you see after four days of being a shut-in gamer. What do you mean four days is nothing? I’m not a professional or anything.

  (Good m, Master.) Laura greets me.

  (Good m.) I respond.

  I look to my left and see Alice there. She is still sleeping. I hope that a maid won’t walk in and see us sleeping together. That would be terrible. Or it might end with me being forced to marry Alice. I would say that’s not too bad, but I don’t want to marry someone I just met yesterday.

  (Laura, the time?)

  (6:05, Master.)

  (Thank you.)

  So what to do? I could wake up Alice, and I feel like I should, but I also want to let her sleep. If she came in at 1 am, she might not have slept before that. I don’t know her exact age, but she should still be ieens. And after yesterday, she needs all the sleep she get. I quietly get up from the bed and make my way over to my clothes. I notiext to my clothes is a navy dress, like the ohe maids use, an apron and the hoodie I gave Ali the dungeon. Is she sleeping only in her underwear?

  I grab my clothes and make my way into the bathroom. After relieving myself and ging clothes I return to the room. I should probably wake Alice up now. It would be better than having a maid walk in while she is still sleeping in my bed. She might even make it bato her room in time. And all things sidered, I would assume that her personal maid is in on this little secret. Usually the servants know everything that happens in the house.

  Just in case she really is only in her underwear, I grab her hoodie and pce it on top of her before shaking her lightly.

  “Alice, it’s time to wake up.” I say to her in a soft voice. I didn’t get to do this many times with Laura, not the system support but my ex, because she would wake up before me most of the time.

  “Hmmm..” She mumbles a little, but doesn’t want to wake up yet. I uand that you want to keep sleeping, but I really don’t want you sleeping in this bed any longer.

  “Alice, wake up or you will be found out.” I whisper into her ear while shaking her.

  “Found out… for what?” She mumbles. “I haven’t done anything…zzz”

  “So you didn’t sneak into the bed of a guest st night.” I said.

  “Iik.” With a small scream she instantly got into a sitting position. She really was just wearing underwear.

  “I’m sorry.” She said and was about to bolt out when I stopped her.

  “I don’t think you should get up just yet.” I tell her calmly. “You are not really wearing anything, so if you don’t wao see the rest, I’ll ehe bathroom so you get your clothes on.”

  “...” Alice looks down at herself and realizes what I mean. I was half expeg another scream, but she just grabs the hoodie I pced on her and hides behind it.

  I walk into the bathroom and say to her. “Take your time, but not too long so someone won’t e to get me.”

  Alieekly.
