Her name is Amy.
She was a worker who started to work in Athena’s mansion, captivated by her noble charm.
In a normal situation, she should have been doing menial tasks in the mansion, but now…
‘How… how did I get to serve Lady Athena…!’
She was pulling the carriage where her master and miss were riding.
Originally, the coachman should have been a man.
But for some reason, her master sought female staff capable of driving the carriage.
Due to a few experiences riding with her father in the past, she found herself in the driver’s seat.
Thump-thump
Right behind her sat the beautiful lady and the master she had admired for a lifetime.
It felt like her heart was about to burst.
However, fearing that she might make a mistake due to her overwhelming emotions, she suppressed her excitement and drove on.
As quite some time passed…
She finally could arrive at the destination.
She stopped the horses and carefully knocked on the carriage door.
Knock-knock
“Master, we’ve arrived.”
But what returned was a chilling silence.
“…Are you asleep?”
She called out to Lady Athena again, but this time, nothing came back either.
Wondering if she might be sleeping, she quietly pressed her ear against the carriage door—
– Haah… Hah!! Hyaah…
A strange, tantalizing moan from the lady echoed inside.
‘No… could it be… the lady is unwell?’
A dark thought arose in her mind.
What if she had driven the carriage poorly, and the lady was feeling carsick?
As negative thoughts filled her head, her judgment became clouded.
Finally, she ended up opening Pandora’s box with her own hands.
Clatter
“Lady!! Are you okay?”
….
…
“Uh…?”
“Hyuh?! Y-You… Athena… There’s…! Hyaah…!”
Slurp-slurp
“Hyaah… Hya… wait… S-Somebody… Ugh…!”
Chomp-chomp
She could only stare blankly at the scene before her.
Two beautiful women entangled with each other, intertwining their tongues.
The bright blush on the lady’s face and the sweat glistening from her body made her even more sensual, locking Amy’s gaze on her.
Thump-thump
Eventually, as her master cautiously turned her head, a translucent thread connected the two with a sticky bond.
“…..Did I say you could open the door?”
At the gaze from her master, looking quietly at her, chills ran down Amy’s spine.
Her dazed mind enchanted by the lady’s alluring form snapped back to reality with her master’s cold expression.
“I-I’m sorry, Master!! I was worried since there was no response…!”
Her master, who had been silent, seemed to catch onto something. She glanced at Amy’s lower half and muttered in a growling voice.
“…You dare…”
“A-Athena… Let’s step outside quickly, okay? I want some fresh air.”
But before her master could continue, the lady intervened, stopping her.
Eventually, after a long gaze at Amy, her master sighed and moved her feet outside the carriage.
“I brought you as a woman for this very reason, and it was all for nothing. Tsk.”
As her master and the lady distanced themselves from her, only then did Amy finally notice her own state.
Her heart raced like crazy, her face flushed red.
And the mysterious liquid flowing down between her legs, dropping onto the ground.
…
“Ugh!”
As soon as she stepped off the carriage, she stretched her stiff body.
Apparently, she had been sitting for too long, and as she relieved the tension, a refreshing sound escaped her lips.
She turned her head to look around the place they arrived at.
What caught her eye was a small city. It wasn’t the best place, but the bright lights and lively atmosphere made it feel cozier.
“Where is this?”
“Karman. It’s a city near the eastern forest. We’ll stay here while hunting monsters.”
“I see…”
For some reason, her heart fluttered.
This was her first time outside the mansion since she became a sort of ‘slave’ to Lady Athena.
New scenery, new people. Everything felt fresh.
“Are we going to look for the traces of the demons right away?”
Athena shook her head.
“No, it’s late today. We’re planning to go tomorrow morning.”
Feeling relieved inside, she considered that she was a bit tired after a full day in the carriage.
Seeming to read her thoughts, Athena spoke.
“First, let’s drop by the inn. You must be tired, Hera.”
… So considerate.
Every now and then, when she received Athena’s kindness, it warmed her heart without her realizing it.
Feeling an unnecessary gratitude, she intertwined her fingers with Athena and smiled brightly.
“Okay!”
“The hero has arrived!!!”
“You don’t have to worry about monsters anymore!!”
“Ahh…!! I’m so relieved. Really relieved.”
“I respect you, Lady Athena!!”
Upon Athena’s arrival, there was a commotion in the city.
Many townspeople rushed to her, gazing at her with admiration.
Some requested handshakes, while others kneeled on the ground, cheering.
It was a sight that would be enviable to some, but it felt rather overwhelming to Amy.
However, Athena walked through them, unfazed.
“Take me to the best inn in this place.”
At her command, the townspeople rushed to guide them to an inn.
Before them stood a huge building.
Indeed, being the best inn, it appeared distinctly different from other buildings.
With its remarkable size and well-maintained facilities, it could be on par with anything within the empire.
“I’ve never been to an inn before…”
In truth, since being possessed, she had never stayed in one.
Even when she was in Drax’s place, she had always stayed at Dania’s House.
“Hmm… So the first experience is with me?”
Athena smiled joyfully at her.
‘… That sounds kinda weird.’
Well, it wasn’t technically wrong.
As they were about to enter the inn, Athena grabbed her arm.
“…Athena?”
When she tilted her head to look at her, Athena smiled gently and spoke to her.
“Hera, can you wait a moment here? I need to talk to the innkeeper about the lodging fees.”
About costs?
‘Oh, could it be that?’
Since being appointed as a hero, Robin had been free from money matters.
The cost of fixing equipment, lodging fees, food costs, etc. were all taken care of for free.
The mere presence of a hero was a significant boon to the city, so there was no need to make him pay for anything.
Apparently, as a hero of the empire, Athena enjoyed similar benefits.
“Okay, I’ll wait.”
At her response, Athena showed a proud smile and patted her head before going inside the inn.
Less than ten minutes later, she came out beaming.
“Okay. We’re done. Should we go in?”
“..Okay.”
But upon reflection, she wondered if it was really necessary to leave her outside.
Did they share something important?
But since it didn’t bother her much, she followed her, stepping inside the inn.
“The rooms are mostly full!!”
The innkeeper clasped his hands and begged Athena.
He seemed genuinely sorry, as he was sweating profusely while bowing his head in apology.
But how about that?
When she saw the size of the inn from the outside, it seemed quite large; if most of the rooms were full, it must be incredibly popular.
Fearing that Athena might get annoyed with him, Amy spoke up first.
“If most are booked, that means there’s at least one room left, right?”
“Y-Yes! There’s one single room available.”
“Um…?”
“And… I assure you, the room is quite spacious enough to be fine!!”
The innkeeper gazed at her with an earnest face.
Did he really want Athena to stay here that badly?
Well, in South Korea, she would be a VIP guest, so he wouldn’t want to miss that opportunity.
Hmm…
Still, a single room might be a bit cramped, right?
There were two grown women staying over…
There’d only be one bed, after all.
Feeling a bit bad for the innkeeper, she thought it would be better to look for another place.
While the facilities here seemed nice, they’d be staying for almost a week, so having a spacious sleeping area would be better in many ways.
“Um… I think it’s better if we have a room with two beds. Sorry—”
“P-Please!! Stay with us!!! I promise to provide the best service! You won’t regret it!!”
“Eek?!”
The innkeeper suddenly jetted forward with a scream, his eyes trembling as if frightened.
Looking at him, it seemed he glanced over at Athena from time to time too.
“What’s wrong, Hera?”
But Athena just smiled.
“Meals, lodging… They’re all free!! We’ll provide the best liquor in our inn as a bonus!!”
At this point, his pleading was getting a bit scary.
Realizing the uncomfortable pressure coming from him, Amy felt sympathetic.
‘It must be tough to make ends meet…’
She knew from her past experiences working multiple jobs.
He was probably doing this desperately to keep his living situation secure.
Given that he was begging this much, wouldn’t it be okay?
She decided to change her mind.
Turning to Athena, she spoke.
“Uh… What do you think? I think it sounds fine…”
But, actually, even if she felt okay about it, it wouldn’t work if she didn’t want it.
Athena could be quite particular, so she’d likely refuse.
“Going all the way to another place sounds tiring. Want to just stay here?”
Huh?
Just like that, they ended up sharing a bed for a week.
