Hi guys, I have not forgotten about this series. Just that I am starting to get lazy to translate recently… Anyway the first image for this novel is out! Ferris sure is cute ~

Chapter 3: First time

When Ferris regain her consciousness, she realises that she was lying on a bed after opening her eyes.

A ceiling that is pure white colour. It is different from the usual grey coloured coal wall.

Furthermore, the object she is lying on is not the thin straw mattress she always used in the coal mine but a soft fluffy bed instead.

She felt as though she was lying on a fluffy cloud which gently wrap around the whole of her small body.

(Still… in the middle of a dream…?)

Ferris felt troubled.

There is a cute lamp providing illumination on the ceiling and an expensive looking table near the bed. Ferris has never seen or heard of such a beautiful room in her life.

However, her consciousness is clear and everything she saw is so detailed so she knew this is not a dream but reality.

Just how did it turn out this way. Ferris tried recalling her memory before she lose her consciousness.

[Oh, you woke up]

A golden hair young lady opened the door and enter the room.

This young lady, if Ferris remember…

[That… you are…]

[Alicia. Alicia Grandbird. What is your name?] (T.L Her is is Alicia and not Alice. Edited my mistake from chapter 2) (T.L.2アリシア・グーデンベルトsuggestion for name are welcome)

[Aah, I am, Ferris desu!]

Ferris jumped out of the bed in panicked to greet her but her head felt dizzy. Ferris is unable to stand properly so Alicia immediately went and stop her.

[You shouldn’t move so suddenly. Probably due to using such a strong magic, you collapsed as your body could not handle the load. You have not recovered yet]

[Magic…? Me…?]

Ferris was in a state of confusion.

She knew the existence of magic. But this is a power that only few chosen people held could use. Her masters were always discussing topic about magic and kept criticizing those magicians. However, voice of envy was mixed in. Still, this is a topic that is completely related to Ferris.

[That right, you could use magic… To be honest, I still could not believe it but since I saw it right in front of my eyes, I have no choice but to accept it… your summoned beast]

[Summon… beast…] (T.L Ferris said Summon beast in hiragana while Alicia in Kanji)

Ferris recalled the matter regarding Leviathan.

Extremely violent and evil being covered in flame. No, she does not even know if that thing could be considered a living being and Ferris started to s.h.i.+ver in fear after its frightening appearances floated into her mind.

The golden hair young lady - Alicia grab hold of Ferris hand.

[Thank you… Ferris. Thanks to you, I did not get kidnapped by those guy. I willing to do anything within my power to show my grat.i.tude so please tell me what you want unreservedly]

Alicia bluish-green pupil stated straight at Ferris.

[E… no need, for thank you! Also I, did not help for reward! It is also a coincidence to help!] (T.L Imagine Ferris speaking childish)

Ferris is panicking.

That right, it is a coincidence.

If Leviathan did not appear, both Ferris and Alicia will be subjected to cruel treatment by the hooligan.

It is not my power. I am weak, I am only a slave, this is what Ferris is thinking about.

[That might be the case but still, please tell me any of your wish. I could not let go of this without showing my grat.i.tude]

Alicia started speaking pa.s.sionately while holding Ferris hand tightly.

Looking at her filthy black hand being held by lady with beautiful clean hand, Ferris felt embarra.s.sed. Towards someone so different from her, she did not know how to react.

Without letting go of her hand, Ferris desperately began to think of her wish.

[T, that, that…]

And at that time, a dignified voice from a woman could be heard from the corridor.

[Before that, I believe it would be better for our guest to take a bath]

Looking over, she saw a woman standing on the corridor with a stern expression on her face. She is wearing a dress with frills and her hair is tied with pretty decorations.

Ferris does not know what a maid uniform is so she does not know the woman is a servant. She only felt (a scary person…). Of course Ferris has no way of knowing that the woman is the head maid.

Alicia nodded.

[After you mentioned it, that is the case. A girl should not be like this! Well then, let's go!]

[Eh…eh…?]

Holding hands with Alicia, Ferris was bought out of the room.

[Alicia-sama!? Please let the maids take care of the guest!

The head maid frantically tried to stop Alicia but she has no intention to stop.

[I cannot do that! I will take care of my benefactor personally!]

[Th, that, I, where…?]

Ferris could not predict what will happen to her so she felt fear from the oujo-sama that pull her along.

————————————————————————————————————————–

The place Ferris was bought to was a wide room.

The floor was made from marble, and a big pool of puddle could be seen in the middle.

No, from the steam raising from the water, that is probably hot water.

There are statues of unknown beast at the edges of the puddle and hot water is flowing non-stop from the statue.

[This place is…?]

Alicia speak to the stunned Ferris.

[Bathing. I will begin to clean you properly from now on. There seems to be a lot of dirt on you]

[Bathing…? Things such as bathing, what is that…?]

[Eh…? Bathing is, bathing?]

[What should I do….?]

[Isn't it just to wash your body?]

[Why must we wash our body? Do I need to stand in front of the statue to bath?]

[What are you talking about…?]

Alicia raised her eyebrow.

[Although I think it is impossible… you have not wash your body even once until now… you won’t say that right?]

[I might not have wash, but…]

*Crack*, there seems to be the sound of something breaking coming from Alicia.

[Waitttt, is that true!? I cannot believe you! I really cannot believe you! You, are a girl right!?]

[I am probably a girl…]

[If that is the case, you must bath every day! This is the habit all girl must have! Do you understand!?]

[Do, do not understand…]

Ferris answered while being frightened.

Although she was told it is a habit for a girl, there are no girl interacting with her until now. She has not even meet other children of the same age so she does not know what she has to do.

Alicia sighed.

[There is no other way… Although I felt apologetic for you. Let me wash you, take off everything, take off everything now!]

A shriek could be heard from Ferris.

Alicia suddenly took off Ferris tore and tattered clothes. And then Ferris is standing fully naked, and started backing off from Alicia while s.h.i.+vering.

[W, wwwwwwhat will you do to me!]

[What I will do? It's just entering the bath so we have to take off our clothes. Because we all both girl so there is nothing to be ashamed of!]

Alicia took off her beautiful dress and doesn’t seem embarra.s.sed revealing her naked body.

Pure white skin, there is not even one speck of dirt on her body.

And a perfect figure.

It is perfect no matter where you look and Ferris has trouble knowing where to look.

Then, she compared it with her small and pet.i.t body and felt embarra.s.sed. She unconsciously tried to hide her body with both her arms.

[Well then, let's begin bathing?]

Alicia guided Ferris into the huge bathroom.

She used a bucket and pour hot water over Ferris head, make bubbles on Ferris head with shampoo and began was.h.i.+ng her hair.

Some of the shampoo fell into Ferris eyes so she could not help but cried.

[Ah!? So, so painful!]

[You should not open your eyes. Close your eyes when you are was.h.i.+ng our hair]

[A, alrighttt…]

Ferris tightly shut her eyes after being told so by Alicia.

Alicia's slender fingers ma.s.saged on every corner of Ferris's head which makes her feel comfortable. After all her tension is gone, Ferris leaked out a voice [Haaa…].

Alicia repeated the cycle of pouring hot water over Ferris's head and washed her hair multiple times.

After the job of was.h.i.+ng hair is completed, it is her body. Lathering a small cloth with body soap, Ferris's body was rubbed. As Ferris felt odd with this feeling, she protested many times but Alicia did not allow it.

Ferris did not know how long has pa.s.sed.

As Ferris's body was scrubbed all over by the oujo-sama, she came out of the bathroom with little energy.

T.L Part 2 will be up on 2 day later.
