Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

21 – Late Menarche

Europa woke up hungry around noon, so Sirius was able to get out of her arms. What kind of food should I eat this time? Decided to make food for her as soon as possible for her hungry.

Put oil in a well-heated frying pan and add about half a handful of garlic. Originally, it was about a handful if it was his taste, but I put it in moderation for Europa.

Around the time when the spicy garlic scent came up, I threw in the button mushrooms and bacon cut to fit, and added two servings of pasta noodles to the boiling water and sprinkled less than a handful of salt on it.

Next, I put ripe tomatoes and mashed them, tasted them lightly, and adjusted the concentration by sprinkling salt and pepper. It would be nice if there was something like stock here, but I couldn’t find anything like instant stock like chicken stock.

In the first place, making stock traditionally is time-consuming and cumbersome.

A sauce of just the right concentration is mixed with cooked pasta noodles that are just right for eating. After confirming that it was well-mixed, I placed the right amount on a plate and finished cooking by adding cheese powder and basil on top.

Spaghetti Pomodoro, which he learned from his friend, saying, ‘It’s delicious, so I’ll have to try it at home too.’ To put it simply, I ordered tomato spaghetti in front of Europa. The strong smell of tomatoes and the scent of garlic hidden under it went well together, and the taste was drawn.

“It’s tomato spaghetti. Tomatoes looked fresh at the market today, so I made them.”

“Looks delicious. I’ll eat it.”

If he had chopsticks, he would have slurped and ate, but unfortunately, he only had a fork and spoon in his hand. Still, to him, who has lived here for almost five years, the fork and spoon are now as familiar as chopsticks.

His fingers splendidly turned the fork and rolled the noodles so that Europa could eat them in one bite. A little bit of red tomato sauce remained on my lips.

I wouldn’t know if it was a place to eat with others, but now the two of us were eating alone. He, who had passed that lightly, began to eat.

The acidity of the tomatoes, the well-cooked pasta noodles, evenly mixed bacon and button mushrooms, and the scent of the crushed garlic make a good combination. Certainly, there was no stock, so the umami taste was a little disappointing, but the taste was definitely there.

“It’s as good as Mr. Ramden, the chef…”

“That’s the best compliment I could ever hear. Thank you.”

Chef Ramden. When Sirius went to the kitchen when he was hungry, he always served him delicious food, and when he sparred as a servant, he showed his swordsmanship in unison, as if telling him with his whole body that he was Leona’s master of double swordsmanship.

As I learned later, he was said to be one of the oldest servants along with William and Gillian. However, since he is a chef, he has no time to step out, so he always prepares delicious food for one or two high school students.

She opened her lips, still smeared with tomato sauce, as she turned to look at her side for her next bite.

“Come to think of it, did you say His Majesty would come to the entrance ceremony tomorrow?”

“Yes, the staff said yes. It’s the future of the empire, so you’re probably coming to see it for yourself.”

“Future…Ra.”

She stopped her rolling hand and stared at him. How long can I live with Sirius, the servant who will always serve me, the promise I made at the fingertips, the man who always says it’s for me?

His heart sank when he thought of the future in which he met someone else and he met someone else. Even though it didn’t happen right in front of his eyes, he hated himself for thinking that.

“My lady, I’m getting cold.”

“Oh, yes.”

Watching him worried about the food without even knowing what he was thinking, he sighed and raised the fork again. Sirius, who may have offended the sighing owner, also grabbed his fork and focused on eating.

It ended with a quiet table without a word until the two of them finished their meal. Even though she went to the kitchen to finish washing the dishes, Europa was sitting at the table, staring at Sirius.

“Lady?”

She stretches her arms out in silence as she approaches him in her kitchen. She was forcing him to hold the princess if he liked her. A little blush appeared on her face, as if she knew she was embarrassed.

“…”

“…”

A situation of silent confrontation. Sirius was the one who opened his mouth in a situation filled with mutual pride.

“My lady, you stupid butler doesn’t know what to do if you just keep your arms outstretched like that.”

At his words, as if he didn’t know what to do, the blush on his cheek gradually spread to his entire face. Her staring eyes gradually went down, but her arms did not bend like her pride.

“…Please…”

“Could you speak a little louder? I can’t hear you…”

Sirius brazenly responded to the voice that seemed to be crawling into a rat hole. She was his choice to correct a bad habit, but she persevered.

“…Hug me and take me to bed…”

“Yes, yes. I will do as you say, lady.”

She couldn’t help it. He picked her up just as she did in the morning and lifted her onto her bed. It occurred to her that even if her feet were all healed, she might develop a habit.

The girl who had been held until now was lying on the bed. Seeing that, she sighed.

“…They said that if you lie down immediately after eating, you will become a cow.”

“Am I a bull family anyway?”

“Oh, it’s a pig, not a cow.”

“Hey!”

Her face, which had been red from shyness until now, turned red with anger and threw the pillows on her bed. Sirius, of course, had nothing to do with that.

Meanwhile, Shaula, who was still overhearing their conversation, was baking her pancakes and eating them one by one.

“If the conversation between the two of you were like this every day, I’d eat ten…”

She was inhaling butter-only pancakes with her drool flowing.

“The lady is resting. She’ll come to the dessert shop I saw before and see what they’re selling.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just rest in your room today?”

The lady was lying down and holding the sleeve of my dress sitting at the end of the bed. She laughed at the sight and ran her free hand through her sleeveless hair as she rolled over on the bed.

“I’ll be right back. Do you have anything you’d like to eat?”

“Something sweet like chocolate…”

“Yes, I’ll bring it to you soon, so please wait a bit.”

It’s a short distance from the dormitory to the shop. I saw the academy map in my head as I ran around the academy every morning. The dessert shop on the fastest route was smaller than last time, but it was more crowded than ordinary shops.

A very simple way to wait in line, order at the counter, receive a ticket, and then the product you ordered comes out in accordance with the order of the ticket. I stood in line and looked at the menu board, thinking about what to choose.

“So, my master buys dessert from the store every day and eats it. How sweet he is!”

“My little master’s everyday life is inconvenient. How can he complain so much that he gets scabs in his ears?”

“hahahaha, my master…”

“Ugh…My lady…”

Complaints and dissatisfaction against his master were pouring out from the corner. Most of the people who come to order goods here are servants, so there would be no place to complain unless it was a place like this. But.

‘For servants, silence is a virtue. There are a lot of people who are very tongue-in-cheek.’

The first thing I learned from the butler.

The importance of silence. No matter how good a servant is, he will not accept a servant with a weak tongue. It is said that a horse without feet can travel a thousand miles. Are those cheap tongues talking like that when the words they say spread everywhere and later daggers may fly on the master’s back?

After ignoring those idiots and waiting for a while, my turn came. I decided to look at the products decorated with samples in the glass storage box.

“Two pieces of chocolate cake and four cream puffs, please.”

“Yes, the order has been confirmed. Please take a number here and wait.”

As I quickly took my order and found a place to wait, I met eyes with those who had been gossiping about their owners in the corner. Among them, a tall young man who seemed to be in a contract approached me.

“Oh, isn’t that the butler of House Taurus?”

“Yes, that’s right. Do you have any business?”

There was no need to be kind to those who did not qualify as servants. I just nodded my head, looked at the number plate, and answered nonchalantly.

“hahahaha… It’s not business, it’s just a simple conversation between employees…”

“Are you talking about chewing and tearing at their masters?”

“…”

I winced, and their expressions crumpled. I didn’t like the look on their faces when they made a mistake and acted like I did it.

“As servants, silence is a virtue, and your mouth should be heavier than gold. So how do you try to become a dagger to stab your master with cheap tongues?”

“What…What…”

“May I explain to your master every single thing I have just heard?”

“…f*ck, this bastard with no blood on his head, is your master clean?”

“A person who sleeps clean and dirty and serves the owner shouldn’t be tongue-tied. If you don’t like that, would you quit this job?”

I drew an arc through my mouth to show a smile, then focused on the counter again. I was full of anticipation of when I would call my number. Then, I lightly caught the fist flying beside me.

“What are you doing?”

“Aagh!”

As he twisted his fist slightly, he heard a scream. Doesn’t it make sense, and since I’m smaller than him, are you saying you’re going to overpower him by force? How can you be such a simple person?

“If I bend further here, my arm might come off. Should I continue?”

“Now… Wrong…”

“You’re wrong?”

“Yeah…”

I untied his fists and brushed off his hands. While their party was disgusted, they hurriedly received their items and left the store.

“If you want to rip off the master like that, do it in a quiet place or don’t talk in a place like this.”

“…”

Well, I guess you got it. I also went to the counter to get the items and headed to the dormitory building. I wanted to eat it with the lady because I was looking forward to cream puffs rather than chocolate cake.

When he came to our room like that.

“City…Sirius…”

The gap between the legs of the young lady’s white pants that came out to the front door was stained red. The lady had been crying until just now, and the traces of his tears were clear, and the blood that ran down his legs was soaking the floor.

I calmed down my embarrassment at the situation that the lady hadn’t had before and went inside.

The smell of blood more fishy than other blood. And blood from between the legs. The lady’s menarche has begun.

Someone else’s menarche that I’ve never experienced. Also, I didn’t even know how to deal with the menarche of the lady I served.

“I… Am I going to die…? My stomach hurts…”

The young lady was holding her stomach and crying again. Unable to do anything, I first grabbed her hand to calm her down.

“…You’ll be fine…Every woman goes through…”

I covered her mouth at the mistake that came out inadvertently. I should have reassured you now rather than saying that.

“Do I have to put up with this… Pain? Blood comes out…”

A girl who is crying and trembling with anxiety. Her white cotton pants kept getting new bloodstains. I was anxious and at a loss when I heard a knock on the front door.

“This is Shaula, come on, open the door!”

She hurriedly opened the door, and she was at her door holding something of her own.

“Miss Europa came because she was not feeling well. Let’s get started. First, Sirius, change the bed sheets.”

Following her orders, I went to the young lady’s bed. The spot where she lay was slightly stained with her own blood. She hurriedly changed to a spare sheet, and when she came out, Shaulla was pulling several pieces of her underwear from her bag.

“Shaula’s seat replacement has been completed.”

“Next, get me some towels. Two of the softest ones.”

Shaula enters the room with the lady. I went to her bathroom and took two of her softest towels and handed them to her. Upon receiving her towel, she thanked her with her eyes and closed the door.

In the meantime, I had to clean up the girl’s spilled blood, put the desserts on the table, and just stare at her door. After 20 minutes the door opened and only Shaula came out and let her sigh of relief.

“I put it to rest and put it to sleep. It won’t affect your body, so you’ll be fine.”

“Thank you, Shaula.”

“The underwear is made of soft material, and sanitary napkins are my own as spares, so there’s no problem. I told Miss Europa that they should be changed periodically, so I’ll replace them when I’m feeling better. When I have time, I’ll go with her to the Mage Tower. Buy some of the women’s underwear they’re selling, and that works great.”

“That…Does the magic tower sell women’s underwear?”

“I don’t think there are women in the Magic Tower. They say they don’t menstruate?”

That’s right… That’s right… But is there a need to say it like that… It was kind of embarrassing.

“Anyway, this will happen every month. Before that, stop by the Mage’s Tower and buy it. It’s still by my side today.”

“Yes, thank you. But Shaula-sama, how could the lady be sick…”

“hehehe…”

Ah, this can’t be.

Suddenly, the contents of the novel came to mind. Before she joined the harem, she installed wiretapping devices in the rooms of the main character and other members, and Shaulla, who was delusional after hearing it. As she looked around at the thought, she found Shaula fidgeting.

And the suspicious magic tools I found. The wiretapping was correct as described. When I glared at her shaula, she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“…Shaula-sama.”

“Yes, yes…”

“Since I had this, Shaula-sama could do for me what I couldn’t do. So I’ll just skip it this time.”

She handed her the wiretaps. She showed her unexpected reaction, thanked her and left the necessary items for her menstrual period. How did you come to have such a person as a friend?

The lady slept all day, drunk with the scent of sleep, and woke up around sunset.

“…My stomach hurts…Stay with me…”

She was just intoxicated by the scent of her sleep and was holding her hand against the still lingering tear marks and her belly as if in pain. Feeling guilty that I hadn’t done anything, I sat by the bed where the lady was sitting blankly.

“Do you have any pain other than your stomach?”

“…I’m hungry…”

“Would you like a piece of cake?”

“Yes…”

I took the piece of cake I bought earlier and brought it to the lady. She was just staring at the cake, perhaps even moving a little. Seeing such a young lady, I cut the cake to fit with a fork and brought it to her mouth.

“Now, eat.”

“I’ll eat well…”

The sweet chocolate cake passed into the lady’s mouth. Even though he was holding it, he was casually eating a thick chocolate-scented cake. As if he had finished eating before he knew it, he opened his mouth at me.

In the end, after eating all the cakes I gave you, I was relieved to see the young lady whose complexion had improved a little. As she tried to get up to put her plate in the kitchen, she was caught by the tail of her tailcoat.

“…You can clean it up later… Lay down next to me…”

She looked especially weak, so she lay down next to the young lady with only her coat off. The lady who took my right arm and put her arm on a pillow was trembling slightly. The two of us looked at each other, leaning on a lit candle with the luminous crystals off the ceiling.

“I was so scared when no one was there earlier. Suddenly, I was crying and bleeding… My hair turned white and I couldn’t do anything, right?”

She grabbed my shirt and gave me a worried look. Folding her right arm, she gently cupped her head and stroked it with her hand.

“I was so surprised to see you like that that I couldn’t do anything.”

“Yeah…I did…You know what you said earlier…That all women go through…”

“…I told you so…”

“Did Leona, Christine, Shaula, Rina…And…Mom go through all of this?”

“I’ve been through it all. All women go through it, and every month the ladies-in-waiting say it’s hard because of this…”

“…I see…”

“My lady, she needn’t be nervous. She’s proof that you’re growing up right as a woman. Now she’s a real woman.”

“Really…A woman…That’s…”

Eyes staring at me. Those anxious eyes gradually brightened, and her expression hardened.

“My stomach hurts again… Lend me a hand…”

“Yes, borrow it anytime.”

The young lady lay upright and took my left hand from her and placed it on her belly. Perhaps thanks to the warmth of my left hand, which was slowly placed on her, her young lady’s expression brightened and she fell asleep.

“Good night, ma’am.”

I also fell asleep next to her so that she would not tremble when she woke up.

The morning of her academy entrance ceremony was approaching.
