I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

8 – Episode 8. Can’t contract workers dream of becoming regular workers?

Housework… ….

I don’t know about my current life, but I had quite a bit of experience in my past life.

As I was following my father in the truck business, there were many times when I had to sleep in the car or on the street. In times like these, I was so knowledgeable about chores that I even used camping tools to help with household chores.

So, what you need to worry about is not whether you can do the housekeeper’s job well, but the person who will be entrusted with the request this time.

“Yes, then I have written a contract, and I will review the contents one last time……. “You are ‘Vivian Platonis,’ a scholar belonging to the Magic Tower, right?”

“Uh, huh. “You can call me Vivian.”

“Ah, yes. Then, Vivian…….”

Vivian.

That was the name of the wizard who was my employer and supported by the Magic Tower.

Of course, it would not be strange to ignore me as a foreign worker.

“…… Lol.”

Nevertheless, she did not show any sign of ignoring me, but instead hunched her shoulders as if she was intimidated.

Not only the clothes, but also the stuttering and awkward laughter….

Just by looking at her appearance, doesn’t she look like a retaken sister who lost confidence after taking the N exam, rather than a mad scientist from Magic Tower?

“Well, what’s your name?”

Vivien timidly asks back as the tension subsides.

Even that act seemed surprising to me, who had heard rumors about people belonging to the Magic Tower.

A magician belonging to the Magic Tower, whose sole purpose is to capture and dismember people, is also curious about other people’s names. It’s something to see and live in this world for a very long time.

“Oh yes. It is called Woo Hyosung. If you call me Hyosung…….”

“Phew.”

Just as I was about to lose my mind, Vivian smiled even before I finished speaking.

Afterwards, she gently removed her hand that was hiding her mouth, and the corners of her mouth twitched to reveal a smile to me.

“Woah, Woohyo… …. The name is unusual. “It’s kind of funny… Puh-huh.”

“… hahahaha, this is something I often hear.”

And usually it felt bad.

Even during school days, my classmates would say ‘Woohyooo~!! What is this name? They made fun of me by saying things like, ‘You’re really the best!’, And even after coming to this world, I still hear that as a joke sometimes.

But despite the past, I didn’t actually feel bad about her laughter.

Because I could feel that they were smiling purely when they heard my name, without any malice.

“Well, anyway… ….”

After dispelling that feeling of satisfaction with a clear cough.

I immediately placed the document on the table where I had reviewed the contract that complied with the empire’s labor laws, and prepared to take out a pen to write down additional provisions next to it.

“As written in the contract, I plan to stay here for as long as the period written on the document. In the process, I plan to stay in this house and organize what I need based on my judgment. Are there any precautions or anything about this?”

“What do you mean by caution?”

“Ah, yes. For example, things that should not be thrown away, or things to be careful about when organizing certain parts.”

“Ah. If that’s the case…. First of all, don’t throw away documents or books that have fallen on the floor, and things like furniture… ….”

Vivian tries to explain even though her voice is trembling.

It was a little slow, but not so much that I couldn’t understand it, so I was able to make plans for future cleaning with ease.

Except for what I said at the end.

“And you can’t go into the basement.”

Okay, just one final warning.

It was conveyed to me in a very clear voice without any confusion.

“…… Yes?”

“The basement.”

Feeling eerie at such a sense of disparity, I asked again, and Vivian even erased the smile on her lips and repeated her previous words.

“Never go below the first floor. Do you understand what I mean?”

Even in a dark room illuminated by soft blue light, the two eyes clearly stand out.

When I realized that it was fixed on me, I felt like my skin was growing dry and my breathing was becoming difficult.

Yes, I don’t know why she suddenly changed her attitude like this, but I knew one thing for sure.

“Ah, yes. I knew.”

She is also a member of the Magic Tower where people lacking a sense of ethics gather, and if I break what I say now, I will definitely die.

As she answered with that fact engraved in her heart, her cold expression began to soften.

“…… hehehehe.”

Returning to the same state as before happened in an instant.

Immediately with an awkward smile, she stood up and prepared to go to a room in the back of her home.

“Well, then…” …. “I’m going to study from now on, so would you please take care of the cleaning?”

“Yes. Leave it to me…. “Oh, just wait a moment.”

When I stopped her for a moment as she was leaving, she stopped walking, shrank her body, and turned her gaze towards me.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

He looks anxious as to what else is left.

I don’t feel the same way as when I mentioned the basement before, but I decided to ask a question just in case.

“Can I go get some coffee or something later?”

“Coffee?”

“Oh yes. “It helps me concentrate.”

This is not just a question asked out of courtesy.

If you’re a scholar belonging to the Magic Tower, it wouldn’t be surprising if at least one person was slaughtered because they were interrupted when concentrating.

Unfortunately, if you approach nearby while working and provoke it for no reason, that may be the end of it.

“I do things like that…… ?”

But to put that anxiety to shame, she opened her eyes brightly and even put her hands together on her chest.

As if trying to suppress my pounding heart.

“You make the coffee yourself? Really?”

“Ah, yes. Well, that’s the maid’s job too. If you don’t like being disturbed…….”

“No, no no no! “I like coffee!”

Vivian is startled and hurriedly approaches me.

Afterwards, she held my hand and began to whisper shyly in her trembling voice.

“Because I like you, Joe…” ….”

He says he likes me while looking at me.

… No, not me, but coffee.

“Well, I’ll ask you to take care of me from now on?”

“Oh, yes.”

I finally succeeded in regaining her composure, and after she turned her back and left her place, I grabbed her flushed face.

…Damn, that was pretty dangerous just now.

****

Yes, it is the idea of third-rate people to think that the favor of the other person is like goodwill.

Even more so, if business is involved, you must have a certain degree of vigilance or self-control to maintain the line.

So, when I was working as Vivian’s housekeeper, I always had time to endlessly repeat these three mindsets to myself.

First. She and I have a business relationship. Even though you may be smiling at each other, you shouldn’t think about your relationship going any further than that.

Second. Keep in mind that once the contract is over, you will become strangers. If you settle down for a long time just because Fei is giving you something, you might end up in trouble if you get caught because you belong to the Magic Tower.

Finally, third. Never go into the basement. Unless you want the cold atmosphere to spread into a way that threatens your safety.

“Yes, I should just receive the down payment and leave. Because life is thin and long-term.”

Whether it is human relationships or money.

If you think that life is a one-shot, and you become greedy and try to take on tasks that are not expected, the end of your life will end up with water temperatures so cold that your flesh will freeze.

That was a fact that could be known just by thinking of a man in this world who dreamed of making a fortune and lived crazy about gambling…….

‘Finally, it’s 100 million.’

‘Oh, you worked hard and finally saved 100 million won? Congratulations!’

‘Debt! ‘You suckers!’

Did the debtor Oenoroja who attempted a rope-free bungee jump under the bridge get reincarnated, or was he given a set of Geumoenoja and Eunoenoja as a reward to the honest person who went looking for him?

In any case, the meeting at that time was a great help in controlling my greed.

Having made that point clear, I was able to close the distance to Vivian without hesitation again today with an empty mind.

“Mr. Vivian. “I brought some coffee.”

“Yes, leave it there.”

And fortunately, she sits at her desk all day and focuses on her studies, and when she is concentrating, she only responds to my voice.

Neither his characteristic stammer nor his awkward smile existed at that moment, just a pen scribbled on a piece of paper with complex shapes and formulas drawn on it.

Of course, I don’t understand what’s going on, so I just watch for a bit and then go about doing my job.

Sometimes she would clean up and organize messy books or crumpled papers next to her, but the rustling noise didn’t seem to be much of a problem and she just focused on her job.

“Vivian, it’s almost time to eat, but aren’t you hungry?”

“Yes, give me food.”

And the same goes for meal time.

As she was still sitting at her desk, as if she didn’t even have time to go to her table, I brought out what I had prepared in advance and set it in front of her.

Naturally, her meals also consisted of sandwiches, salads, and soups in cups that she could eat while doing her work.

As I was waiting to finish it and eat it next to her, she glanced at her tray, then returned to focusing on her task and blurted out something.

“Feed me.”

“… Yes?”

“If you rest your hands before the work is finished, you lose concentration. “Feed me.”

… I want you to feed me.

Are you sincere?

“Oh, yes…” …. “I have to feed them.”

No, she is in a state of extreme concentration right now.

Not only is he not the type to make jokes in the first place, but since work is his top priority, he may pursue efficiency to the limit.

So feed her with my own hands.

With these hands, as if you were feeding a child… ….

“Mumbling.”

She chewed the sandwich in her mouth a few times and then swallowed it.

After that, when I gave her the cup, I took a sip of her soup as if to wash away what was left in her mouth and grabbed her pen again.

And again, I took a bite of the sandwich I served and a bite of the salad with dressing….

“… “Is it delicious?”

“Yes.”

A short answer that continues quietly.

At least he doesn’t look dissatisfied, I thought, and smiled happily as I looked at the cleanly emptied plate.

“hahahaha, that’s a good thing.”

Anyway, it’s a good thing to just eat well.

During the camp, there were some damn b*tches who compared the food to royal cuisine, saying that even if they made rice, they could only make something like this. Isn’t this a really good response?

“And… ….”

Just before she left the room with her empty plate, her lips began to open while she was still sitting with her back to the desk.

She kept answering bluntly, as if she was chewing the scent of sandwiches and soup in her mouth.

“Always go, thank you.” For making good food…….”

When she expressed her gratitude to me in a trembling voice, I stood frozen in her seat for a moment and tried to make her smile and leave her greeting to her.

“Ah, yes. It was nothing.”

-Click.

The door closes, and the hallway immediately becomes silent.

Standing there alone, I thought about her gratitude, then grabbed her face and reminded myself of her promise to herself.

“… “Calm down, it’s just a thank you.”

If you’re not sure, don’t even pay attention to it.

What you need to remember here is not the green light, but the fence rule.

***

But maybe because she, like Airi, falls into my type of ‘older sister who listens well’?

When we lived together, misunderstandings often arose, and it was not easy to shake off the temptation of a business relationship.

Especially, it was quite a hardship to endure always wearing shabby clothes, as it felt like I could touch you if I just stretched out my hand…….

“Mr. Vivian. “It’s morning, wake up.”

Nevertheless, I held my peace and tried to help her wake up by going to her early in the morning as she had told me to do.

She was sleeping on the sofa, which wasn’t even her bed, and showed no sign of waking up even though she closed the curtains and let the sunlight in.

“Vivian, if you keep falling asleep, you won’t be able to finish today’s research.”

Yes, at least I won’t be angry in the research-related areas.

So, I thought it would be okay to get this close, and as I shook her body, she moaned and started to raise herself up.

“Uh, huh… ….”

Pudgy and puffy eyes. Her hair was matted in her sleep and spread in abundance in all directions.

In addition, her clothes were not buttoned properly, so her unique voluptuous breasts stood out.

“…… Vivian, are you okay?”

“Ugh, it’s okay. “I woke up.”

As he swallowed her saliva and watched her, she answered in a drowsy voice and began to open her closed eyes.

The moment when blurry vision comes into focus and becomes distracted again.

“hehehe.”

Nevertheless, he seemed to be aware of my existence.

Soon, she turned her gaze towards me and gave me her greeting with her back to the sunlight.

“Thank you for waking me up. “Good morning to you, maid~”

“Ah, yes… …. It was nothing.”

“… hehehehe.”

A faint smile is gradually drawn on the corners of the mouth.

I felt that the self-control I had built up was gradually fading due to the pure kindness I had never encountered since coming to this world.

If allowed, I wonder if I could extend my contract and live by her side…….

Because I felt such greed gradually developing.
