Even Though the Gender Ratio Has Changed, My Attempts at Flirting With Women Are Unsuccessful - Chapter 8: The Villain’s Personal Maid Seems Against Going to the Academy

Chapter 8: The Villain’s Personal Maid Seems Against Going to the Academy

Time passed again…

I turned fifteen.

In this world, fifteen meant you were an adult.

But people still treated me like a kid a lot.

Even Mom still said, “Ark, let’s take a bath together!” with a big smile…

While thinking about that, I was doing my daily workout.

“Ninety-nine… one hundred! Alright… that’s enough for today!”

I was soaked in sweat, and the exhaustion was intense…

Tiana would probably finish at the academy and come over soon, so I should shower…

Then, there was a knock at the door.

“Excuse me, Master Ark. I’m Sheffy, the maid. May I come in?”

“Yeah, sure.”

When I answered, the door slowly opened.

Glossy light blue hair and slightly droopy amber eyes.

A beautiful maid with a curvy figure and a slim waist walked in.

Who was she?

She was the girl from the orphanage that day.

Her name was Sheffy Aim.

She turned fifteen, like me.

Since then, Sheffy lived at the Nott family’s orphanage, getting an education.

She also trained in magic for self-defense, not just manners.

I checked on her often, so I knew how much she’d grown.

Her healing magic was especially amazing, and her teachers always praised her.

I felt proud, like it was my own achievement.

“Master Ark, good work with today’s training. I’ll use recovery magic now.”

“Alright, thanks.”

“《Heal》”

When Sheffy raised her hand, soft light wrapped around my body.

With a warm feeling… my shortness of breath and tiredness faded away.

Magic was amazing!

I could use a bit of healing magic, but Sheffy’s was on another level.

“And here’s a towel.”

“Thanks.”

Even recovery magic couldn’t get rid of sweat.

I took the towel from Sheffy and wiped my sweat.

Nice…

Having a personal maid was great!!

I never had a personal maid before.

The old Ark was probably too badly behaved to have one.

Even now, no one came into the training room or my room when I was there.

They didn’t need to take care of me, but they could visit to hang out…

I did things myself, but getting taken care of like this was nice.

It wasn’t just about convenience.

It made me excited!

The joy of being cared for!!

“Thanks as always, Sheffy.”

“I’m the one who should thank you. You saved me that day… and chose me as your personal maid. Thank you.”

Yes, I chose Sheffy as my personal maid.

I thought about it a lot… but Sheffy was the first one I thought of.

She’d really come a long way.

Her looks, behavior, expressions… everything was better than before.

Her vibe was brighter too.

Back then… she looked like she was barely alive.

The other maids, also from the orphanage, treated her like kind older sisters, which probably helped.

I kind of understood how Mom and the others felt.

“She used to be like that, but now she’s grown so much…” It was touching.

Really, it was great.

“By the way, Master Ark.”

“Hm?”

“Are you really going to the academy?”

Sheffy asked me that.

Tiana, my childhood friend, asked me the same thing.

Was it that bad for me to go to the academy?

Well, for Sheffy, it affected her too.

“When I go to the academy, I’d like you to come as my servant… but you don’t have to if it’s too much. I can find someone else…”

“I haven’t refused at all, and please don’t look for anyone else. I’m your only personal maid.”

“Oh, okay…”

Sheffy said it calmly.

For a moment, her vibe seemed to change…

So, Sheffy was okay with being my servant at the academy? That’s great!!

“But, Master Ark, isn’t it enough to keep training like this instead of going to the academy?”

“No, it’s not enough. It’s not okay at all.”

I said firmly.

If I kept training, I might get stronger.

But I didn’t want to be the strongest in this world.

That wasn’t it.

Since I was reincarnated as a villain, I had to avoid ruin…

And with a 1:9 male-to-female ratio, I wanted to have fun with girls!

I wanted cute girls to fawn over and pamper me.

“…”

Sheffy looked a bit uneasy.

Later, while I was in my room, Tiana came over after the academy.

Tiana usually sat across from me… but she went to Sheffy.

“Sheffy, you’re spending too much time with Ark. You should take a break sometimes.”

“I’m Master Ark’s personal maid, so it’s natural I’m with him a lot.”

“Hmph…”

“Tiana, you must be tired from academy and family business. Why not take a break from lecturing Master Ark sometimes?”

“I don’t need a break. I’m Ark’s childhood friend, magic teacher, and we have a special bond. I’m not giving up my place.”

“…”

“…”

In the end, they stared at each other silently.

What was this vibe!?

But they weren’t really enemies. Maybe they were close enough to argue?

Anyway, I was going to the academy, even if they opposed it.

I wanted to have fun with girls, and academy life felt like the start of the main story!

“But I think we should team up.”

“If Master Ark goes to the academy… yes.”

“Yeah. Let’s work together then, Sheffy.”

“Yes, please, Tiana.”

While I was lost in thought, Tiana and Sheffy shook hands.

They were good friends after all.
