chapter 1
1 – When I woke up, I became possessed as a butler
…… At the same time as the feeling of falling into sleep, a fragment of something familiar passed by.
‘…… I told you, I can’t raise children.’
‘Are you still the father of the baby?’
‘I also work outside before coming in. You try your best!’
‘The most disgusting corner of the house, I can’t eat anymore because I’m so annoyed!!’
‘Ahh!’
This…… It was a chore I wanted to forget.
That’s right, my parents fight every day, so I left the house because I didn’t like it.
I did…….
‘My lady, today is a good morning.’
‘…… Kurosawa, tell me what to do with that smirk.’
‘I can’t do that. This is my trend! In order to take care of the young lady, I must become a better butler than anything else!’
‘…… Ha. Yes, Kurosawa. As long as I don’t do weird things in front of people, it’s fine.’
Somewhere, faces and familiar words passed by.
Is this my memory or someone else’s?
My head hurt as if my memories were confused.
……
………… ?
As if I forgot something, something I shouldn’t have forgotten…….
‘If it’s to protect what you hold dear…… ‘
At the same time, I heard a woman’s voice that I hadn’t heard before.
I…… I opened my eyes.
“Heo Eok?!”
Ah.
Was it a dream?
I looked around.
It was a park.
Reality is not some kind of light novel.
I could see the ceiling. If the sky is a ceiling, then it is a ceiling.
“Ahahahaha…… Was it a dream?”
Yes, it must be a dream. No, to have a crazy dream of beating the candidate for the first place in the popular vote and welcoming the heroine of the last place in the popularity vote as the wife.
Maybe it’s because I’m tired from work these days.
Tell the store manager that I’m taking a break today and go get something delicious……
I woke up thinking that.
Somehow, it feels strangely like I’ve grown taller.
“I must be mistaken…….”
When I stood up more than usual, I felt that the range I could see increased little by little up and down.
Why are you covering the newspaper again? Anyway, it’s not like I was homeless.
Is it because I had a strange dream?
I think I saw Amelia Iori Lionheart at the end……
Dreams are unexpectedly scary. When I see vivid memories, it seems that my body is empty. If I get paid, I should take at least a pack of supplements.
“Bitter, I am starving to death. I want to eat something first.”
Thinking that way, I looked around, and it was a park.
“Let’s think about it for a second.”
I remember going to the magazine office and fainting while being stopped by security.
But why did you wake up in the park?
“What is it for real?”
Growl.
In the meantime, he was signaling that he was hungry. I looked around to see if there was anything to eat, and immediately saw a vending machine next to me.
When I got up and checked the letters inside the vending machine, it was unmistakably Japanese, a can of red bean porridge…… Oshiruko was also seen.
I thought I would like to try this.
I searched my pockets. A few coins came out. 479 Yen…… ?
“I didn’t have this much money?”
Let’s eat something since you’re hungry.
I hurriedly pulled out sweet red bean porridge and drank one. It’s hot and it tastes good.
Being blown by the cold wind while drinking, now I can feel it. There was still snow in the park, so it felt chilly.
“Oh, it’s cold, it’s cold.”
Are you sleeping in a place like this covered in newspaper?
“Smartphone…… “
I searched my pockets. There is a touch. There is…… What?
What’s the situation? Am I even dreaming right now?
When I turned on my smartphone, time returned to the past.
And looking at the screen, the letter was 1+.
Everyone uses Kotalk these days, who texts? At most, it would be something like a government office or smartphone usage fee alarm.
The moment I saw the text message thinking about it.
[I was moved by the enthusiasm of the readers who loved Two Love X Lady.. You know?]
[Reader, fighting!]
[Kentaro Murasame]
“Eh?”
What?
Possession?
Possession??
You can get the king, this chewy?
The moment you think about that while looking at the text message.
Memories of the character who was the “Original owner” Of this body began to come into my head.
That’s right…… A character who is an extra, the licorice of the work, and the butler of the main heroine.
It was Shingo Kurosawa.
“…… Ah.”
I didn’t want to admit it, but in the end I had to come to terms with the fact that I possessed the butler position of a character I liked.
“Leave this!”
“Sister, are you alone?”
“Uhehehe, sister! It’s cute, let’s play with us!”
…… Suddenly, I heard a voice beside me and turned my head. Most of all, it was a sound I heard in Japanese, but the meaning was clearly understood in my head.
I didn’t study Japanese every day.
In the place where I turned my gaze, bullies in gakuran were intimidating a woman.
She didn’t know who the woman who was holding her wrist and whimpering on the spot was.
It doesn’t look very nice.
To see and pass by such an injustice is to go against what I have been taught and what I think is right.
At least for people with common sense.
“Um.”
I lightly shook the red bean porridge I was eating.
I slowly approached them.
I grabbed the woman’s wrist and threw a can of oshiruko at the head of the bully who was making the laugh of a third-rate villain.
The splendid contents of the can hit the head of an unknown bully.
Kang!
“Evil! Hot!”
“What kind of bastard are you!!”
“Anyway, f*ck. Like a family.”
As I muttered in Korean, the bully next to me pointed at me and said.
“Is that you!”
Excluding the one who couldn’t move after being hit in the face by sweet red bean porridge, two bullies ran towards me.
Aiming at the face of the approaching guy, I lightly threw a hook.
My fist moved faster than I thought, and Yangachi, who had come close to me, fell backwards with a single blow.
Huh?
You hit it lightly, right?
When she was trying to put on a puzzled expression, the bully who ran with her stepped back and pointed at me before saying,
“You, what are you doing!”
“Do you know what to do?”
“This, Innoum—! See you next time!!”
Seeing that the bully who was running with him knocked out his colleague with one blow, he hurriedly turned his back and ran away. The same goes for the guy who was hit by a can of Oshiruko.
Let’s see next time, isn’t this too cheap for an ambassador…….
I approached the frightened woman and asked.
“Are you okay?”
Then the woman who had her head down in her fright lifted her head and said with a grin.
“Ah, thank you for saving me.”
“Uh…… “
I looked closely at the woman with her face raised.
Blonde, bun-shaped hair, and the inside of the wall as shiny as lapis lazuli. It looks innocent, but even has an antique appearance overflowing with maturity. Finally, a woman with an unusual ornament on her head.
…… There was Amelia Iori Lionheart, the main heroine of To Love X Lady and the girl who won first place in the popularity poll.
So, I couldn’t deny the contents of the text message that came to my smartphone.
The fact that I was possessed by the world of Two Love X Lady.
As I was calmly thinking, Amelia gave me a slight nod and smiled at me.
For a moment, it looked so beautiful that I was startled without even realizing it.
“I’m sorry for the late introduction. My name is Amelia Iori Lionheart.”
“Oh, yes.”
“I was in a difficult situation, but what should I do to repay the benefactor who helped me…… ?”
“Oh, it’s okay, don’t worry about it.”
“Can’t you? As a member of Lionheart, you cannot pretend not to know that you cannot repay your benefactor for her kindness! By any chance, have you eaten?”
Come to think of it, I’m a little hungry.
“I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Oh, I’m glad. If so, I’d like to invite you to dinner. Now, please follow me!”
After saying that, Amelia called somewhere.
“Ed, please come to my place immediately.”
Then Amelia hung up her phone.
“Ed?”
“Oh, I didn’t explain. That’s the butler’s name.”
“I see.”
Come to think of it, she remembers that Amelia had a house owner named Ed. Did she say that she was Kurosawa and Shingo’s teacher…? …
She was suddenly at a loss for words.
Amelia has been talking to me non-stop in a situation where there is not enough to talk about.
“Come to think of it, how old are you?”
“2…… No, 15 years old?”
She inadvertently almost said she was her real age. The characters appearing in the possessed original work are 15 years old.
In other words, it is time for her to enter high school.
“Oh, are you the same age as me?”
“Really?”
“Can I speak comfortably?”
“Anyway… ….”
“Oh, I heard that kind of thing a lot. I’m glad you thought so! Then, will you speak comfortably?”
“Do it yourself.”
Since I’m a boring person, I didn’t have the confidence to make the conversation fun.
It wasn’t long before an elderly man in a black tailcoat approached us.
“Sorry I’m late, lady.”
Amelia puffed out her cheeks lightly and opened her mouth angrily.
“Seriously, too late! Ed!”
A man called Ed looked at me and said.
“You are the one who saved the young lady. Thank you.”
I scratched my head and said to the man who politely posed and greeted me.
“Oh, yes.”
“Let’s go together.”
I went behind Amelia and followed Ed, who walked solemnly, into the car.
But how do you know I saved Amelia?
***
When I arrived at Amelia’s house in a limousine driven by Ed, I saw an enormous palace-like house.
Looking at the ultra-luxury mansion that made your jaw drop just by looking at it, you even thought that this place doesn’t exist in reality.
“Okay, we have arrived. This is Lionheart’s mansion, and this is where Amelia lives!”
“I see.”
Anyone else would have reacted like this…… I decided not to share the same sentiment.
Kurosawa is Kurosawa, and I am me.
“Go away.”
I entered the mansion with Amelia following Ed’s guidance.
