Chapter 2: When a Beautiful Black-Haired Maid-san Encounters a Male Knight
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
When I woke up, I was still on a fluffy bed. It looked like that thing hadn’t been a dream. I really had been reincarnated. A slow wave of joy welled up inside me.
“I can really become a male knight!”
I clenched my fist tightly and stood up. My head didn’t hurt like it had before I went to sleep, and I didn’t feel dizzy either. Still, with these thin arms and this delicate body, becoming a male knight was nothing but a distant dream.
I was itching to start training right away. I couldn’t hold myself back. Push-ups first! Just as I started doing push-ups with a determined snort, there was a knock, and the door opened.
“Are you awake, Young Mas-…-ter?!”
Maid-san looked dumbfounded for a moment. She froze for a second before rushing over to me.
“Wha-wha-wha-what are you doing!?”
“Push-ups?”
“I-I can see that! But that doesn’t explain it! Why are you doing push-ups!?”
“Huh? For strength training.”
“S-strength training!?”
Wow… she looked really shocked, but was it really that strange?
“Y-Young Master! In any case, you must rest right now!”
“But I’m already fine.”
“T-that is truly wonderful news, but you should still refrain from strenuous activity for a while…”
I was happy she was worried about me. But, well…
“Thank you for worrying about me. I understand. I’ll rest a little longer.”
To care for others and show compassion—only by embracing that spirit could I become a true female knight—or rather, a male knight. I mustn’t disregard the kindness of Maid-san, who was worried sick about me.
“Hawawa, th-thank you so much for your kind words from Ray-sama, I mean, from a man like you… Sniff…”
“W-what’s wrong? Don’t cry?”
“Uwaaaah!”
Maid-san burst into tears. It seemed by telling her not to cry, I might have accidentally caused her to cry even more.
“It’s impossible not to cryyy! Men don’t usually show concern for women at all, but you… uwaaaah!”
Wait, was that the norm here? How awful… If I accepted this world’s “norm,” I’d become the kind of person unworthy of being a male knight. I needed to learn about this world. Training was important, but so was this.
“Maid-san.”
“Y-yes… Wait, again. Ray-sama called me ‘-san’. He called me with an honorific…”
“Well, anyway. I hardly have any memories. I know I’m being a burden, but could you please teach me everything from the beginning?”
“Uuu… sniff… I-I will! I’ll teach you everything!”
Was it really okay to rely on her like this? She seemed completely overwhelmed. I patted her head gently just in case.
“Kyaaa!!! Kyaaaaa!”
She squealed happily and made a face no one else should ever see. Then, she suddenly snapped to attention.
“My apologies, Ray-sama. What shall I teach you first? Or before that, are you hungry?”
Now that she mentioned it, I finally realized I was starving.
“Yes, I’m very hungry.”
“Understood. I will bring your meal immediately. Please wait just a moment.”
Maid-san barely left before she returned with food.
“Wow…”
I moved from the bed to a chair and sat facing the luxurious feast spread across the table.
“Amazing!”
“Indeed…Hearing those words would bring tears of joy to the chefs of House Kukkoro.”
We had personal chefs? Well, it made sense with how impressive the meal looked. Meat, fish, vegetables, and gentle dishes for the sick—every type of food imaginable covered the table. Each dish’s quality was obvious even at a glance.
“It looks delicious. But I don’t think I can finish all this.”
Maid-san then smiled happily.
“You don’t remember that either, I see. Usually, Ray-sama chooses a few dishes from here.”
“Huh? If I don’t eat them, why prepare so many?”
“Because that’s the norm. Not only are you a rare male, but you are also the heir of the prestigious Kukkoro family. If you were to skip a meal, it would cause a serious uproar.”
So I was apparently a very privileged Young Master.
“Then what happens to the leftovers?”
“After your meal, they become meals for the staff here at the mansion.”
“Really? Then let’s eat together. Otherwise, you might miss out on your favorites if I take them. It feels wrong to waste such an amazing meal.”
At my words, Maid-san fell over backward, like a dried frog on the road.
“W-wha-what are you saying?”
She popped up like a spring-loaded doll, eyes spinning and spittle flying.
“I’m just saying we should eat together.”
“That’s preposterous! Don’t you find it disgusting!? Most men would be terrified or repulsed to eat surrounded by women!”
That couldn’t be true, could it? Otherwise, things like hostess clubs wouldn’t exist. But wait… Was that the “norm” here, too? I really needed to stay sharp or I’d end up compromising my dream of becoming a male knight. I had to act like a male knight even now.
“I don’t mind at all.”
“Y-you don’t mind? Y-you mean you wouldn’t mind eating with me!?”
“Yeah, I’d actually be happy to share a meal together.”
“H-hawu… Th-then may I join you at the table?”
“Of course.”
She sat down hesitantly, looking terribly apologetic and overwhelmed. If I really was a noble heir, it made sense she’d think it was inappropriate for a maid to eat with me. That must have been why…
“You’ve been eating only spoons this whole time—are you okay?”
“O-of course! This is perfect!”
“But I’d like you to eat the dishes you like, too.”
“I am eating my favorite dish right now!”
Maid-san kept scooping a single bite from the food I touched and licking the spoon over and over. She probably felt too guilty to eat what was meant for me.
“More importantly, Ray-sama! Didn’t you have any questions for me?”
“Oh, right. There are some things I want to know.”
I asked her several questions, and from her answers, I learned a few things.
I was Ray Kukkoro, seven years old. I was the only son and heir of the distinguished Kukkoro family. My mother was the current head of the family, but she was so busy she didn’t even have time to visit me. My father had died of an epidemic before I was old enough to remember him. Because of that, I was apparently raised overly sheltered, rarely leaving the mansion, and knowing no one outside family and staff.
That was my profile. Sparse, but it made sense if I’d been raised in luxury without venturing beyond the estate. As for this world, it was one where the gender ratio was heavily skewed, and it resembled a fantasy game with swords and magic.
“Is there anything else you’d like to know?”
“Thank you. I think I’m good for now.”
I had a basic grasp of things, but I’d have to experience the rest myself. Oh—one very important thing slipped my mind.
“Wait, please tell me your name.”
“My name?”
“Yes. Calling you ‘Maid-san’ feels disrespectful when you’ve been so kind to me.”
“…Sniff… Young Master, I will devote my entire life to you!”
“That’s not your name.”
“M-my apologies! My name is Elsa…”
“Elsa-san, I look forward to working with you from now on.”
“Yes!! Please command me in anything! I will accomplish it all!”
Wow… What intensity. All I did was ask her name—how did it end up like this? Still, I was grateful for her willingness to help.
“Then, I have a request right away.”
“What is it!? I will make it happen, no matter what!”
“I want to become a male knight. To do that, I need to get stronger. Could you help arrange training for me?”
“No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!”
“E-eh?”
“I can’t let you do something so dangerous!”
“But you said you’d do anything…”
“Ah!?”
Elsa fell silent. She wore a complicated, conflicted expression that told me exactly how torn she was.
“I—I will go and consult with the Lady of the House right away!”
And she bolted from the room.
