Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 20.2

The butler gently knocked on the door, then opened it after a brief wait.

“Young lady, I’ve brought the boy.”

This is the room of the young lady I’m supposed to guard.

Given her parents, she must have a terrible personality.

I’m somewhat prepared, but I really don’t like violence or being forced to do things.

That’s why I made sure the contract allows me to stay away from the mansion if necessary and to escape during non-emergency situations.

A fresh floral scent wafted from the room.

I followed the butler inside.

――――Immediately, I heard a girl’s voice.

“You’re late! Who do you think you are, keeping me waiting!”

Oh, right. I expected this. Yeah, this is exactly what I expected.

The girl, about the same height as Lisa, stood up from the sofa, wearing a flashy dress. Her face was heavily made up, not looking like a ten-year-old. Another thing that stood out was that she was quite… developed for her age, resembling a small melon.

In my village, there were big people, but they were generally large all over. This is my first time seeing someone with a slim body and such a large chest.

Lady Evans and Lisa are… well…

“I’m terribly sorry, young lady!”

“You useless fool!”

“I’m very sorry!”

Smack! The young lady slapped the butler’s cheek.

Wow… she’s worse than I imagined… Definitely their child.

Her gaze turned to me, examining me slowly from head to toe.

“My name is Beryl. I will be your guard for the next five years.”

“…Why is someone weak-looking with black hair like you my knight? What was my father thinking?!”

The contract is already in place. It can’t be changed now.

The troublesome thing about that contract is that even if the young lady rejects me, I still have to protect her as her guard.

I don’t like talking to strangers, but I have to do it for my family.

“What is it? Say something!”

“…I will prove myself through my skills. Please rest assured.”

She looked at me in slight surprise, then said, “Hmph. Do your best!” and sat back down to continue reading her book.

According to Lady Evans, books are expensive and usually only owned by nobles. This isn’t because the paper itself is costly, but because the information written in the books is valuable.

In the game, books could be purchased, and they were surprisingly expensive. It was common to buy a potion instead of a book, but towards the end of the game’s service, I often saw players reading books in cafes.

The butler, who had been slapped, left the room looking dejected.

“Young lady, when you leave the mansion, please ring the bell to call me.”

“Why should I have to do something so bothersome!? You should be watching me properly!”

“Sorry, it’s an agreement with the lord.”

“…Ugh! Fine!”

“Thank you.”

After leaving the young lady’s room, I went to my own room nearby.

Originally, it was a simple storage room, but it was renovated into a room because it was the closest to the young lady’s room.
