I Asked A Beautiful Girl, Who Was About To Jump Off The School Rooftop, 'If You're Going To Die Anyway, Could You At Least Take My Virginity Before You Go?' To My Surprise, She Agreed. - Chapter 80: A Former Introvert Is At The Mercy Of A Maid From Another World.

A Former Introvert Is At The Mercy Of A Maid From Another World.

An elf maid named Meryl, who came from another world, somehow appeared in Hatsune-san’s room.

“…Yakumo-kun, care to explain what’s going on here?”

Hatsune-san’s voice carried a slightly lower tone. The sweet atmosphere turned abruptly into a tense standoff.

“Meryl was a maid serving in a mansion I stayed at in the other world.”

“So, you became close during that time?”

“She may have been fond of me, but it’s not like we were especially close or anything…”

As I was explaining to Hatsune-san’s question—

“From my perspective, I conveyed my feelings and made various attempts to attract his attention, but he seemed rather distant.”

Meryl interrupted.

“Yakumo-kun, you had a cute girl like this coming onto him and did nothing about it?”

“Naturally. I was waiting for you, Hatsune-san.”

Honestly, there was no other reason. As someone who’s lived as a bit of an introvert, I couldn’t understand the mindset of someone with a girlfriend who would also chase after another girl.

“Hehe, when you put it like that… it’s a bit embarrassing.”

Hatsune-san’s expression softened.

“At any rate, Meryl and I are no more than a guest and a maid.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I got a little flustered by the unusual situation, but thinking about it calmly, there’s no way you would go after another girl. Besides…”

“Besides?”

“…If you had someone like that in the other world, you wouldn’t have come back looking so lively.”

Hatsune-san whispered, looking a bit shy.

I see.

Maybe the whole abstinent life in the other world served a purpose. As I was reflecting on that trivial thought—

“In any case, as one of my fellow maids said, romance isn’t something you give up on just because you’ve been rejected once, so I’m not discouraged!”

Meryl declared with a slightly offbeat statement.

“…Still, how did you manage to get here to this world?”

“After I saw Yakumo-sama enter the teleportation circle to return here, I jumped in just before its power wore off.”

“So that’s why you arrived at nearly the same place and time as me…”

Now then, what to do about this reckless maid? The best option would be for her to return, but only a few people know how to do that. The person who opened the teleportation circle when I returned to this world—the witch from another world, Diona.

I’ll consult her about how to handle Meryl. She usually prioritizes her own interests, but since her teleportation circle caused all this trouble, surely she won’t demand anything in return for helping this time.

Just as I reached that conclusion, a loud growling noise came from Meryl’s stomach.

“Yakumo-sama, I’m hungry.”

Meryl’s gaze was fixed on the dinner Hatsune-san had brought. How utterly carefree.

“Oh… I see…”

Come to think of it, things had always been like this, even back in the other world.

It’s customary for a maid to behave politely toward guests, but Meryl was different. She was always a bit unpredictable—doing things at her own pace. For someone like me, who’s just an ordinary citizen in this world, it was actually a relief that she didn’t take on an overly formal attitude.

However, given that she’s in an unknown world with no preparation, she could stand to be a bit more cautious.

“I want to eat.”

Despite my concerns, she showed no signs of worry.

“If that’s the case, I’ll prepare a portion for Meryl-chan too.”

With a smile, Hatsune-san headed toward the kitchen.

“Thanks, and sorry for the trouble…”

“Food from Yakumo-sama’s world… I’m really looking forward to it!”

While I stood respectfully by Hatsune-san’s side, Meryl’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

…Complicated matters can wait until we’ve all had a good meal.
