Chapter 240: 239 days, so terrifying
And so another day had passed.
The next day, while Shane was still asleep, a voice began to linger in his ear.
“It’s time to wake up, Mr. Shane.”
Shane heard the voice in a daze, then gradually came to his senses.
By the time Shane woke up, he found, to his surprise, a graceful figure standing by his bed.
“Good morning, Mr. Shane.”
The beautiful and lovely maid came into Shane’s view as soon as he opened his eyes, greeting him with a melodious but even-toned voice.
“…”
The sleepiness in Shane’s mind vanished instantaneously, leaving him speechlessly staring at the maid by his bed, stuck there, unable to snap back to reality for quite some time.
While Shane remained silent, the beautiful and lovely maid did not utter a word either, waiting quietly with a serene expression.
The silence permeated the room in a rather subtle way.
After what felt like an eternity, Shane closed his eyes again, lying in bed as if nothing had happened.
Observing Shane like this, Lasha spoke softly.
“Please don’t avoid reality, this is neither a dream nor an illusion, but the genuine reality. Please get up.”
Upon hearing this, Shane had to admit to himself that he was indeed not dreaming.
But if it wasn’t a dream, then the situation before him was quite intriguing.
“…Why are you here?”
Shane tentatively asked this question.
“That is a meaningless question,” Lasha said indifferently: “For a maid to wake someone up, that is only natural.”
Indeed, such natural occurrences were often found in novels.
The problem was…
“You’re not my maid, are you?”
Shane pointed out this fact.
Regrettably, Lasha remained unflustered.
“Since the Lady has asked me to follow Mr. Shane, taking care of Mr. Shane before the Lady returns is my duty,” Lasha said calmly: “Rest assured, in battle, an ordinary person like me may not be of much use, but daily chores are my area of expertise, and I will not disappoint anyone in this regard.”
“Is… is that so?” Shane was dumbfounded for a moment, then sighed, “Well, being woken up by a beautiful maid is a luxury that money can’t buy, so I’ll just enjoy it.”
“It is best that you think so,” Lasha said, without any intonation: “Since Mr. Shane understands, please get up now.”
“Alright.” Shane didn’t dawdle, getting straight out of bed.
But upon doing so, Shane discovered something remarkable.
“…I say, Lasha.”
“Yes, what would you like to ask?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to ask, did I not change my clothes before sleeping last night?”
“No, you indeed wore pajamas to bed last evening.”
“Then how come I am already dressed now?”
Indeed, Shane realized that he was already dressed in his usual attire, and it was tidy to boot.
He clearly remembered changing into pajamas before going to bed last night, so how come he was now dressed in his day clothes, and wearing them so neatly at that?
He was even dressed more tidily than when he took great care in dressing himself.

Shane was puzzled by this.
However, Lasha explained.
“Of course, I changed them.”
The maid admitted to the startling matter.
“…Huh?”
Shane exclaimed blankly.
“I changed them.”
Lasha immediately repeated expressionlessly.
“But… when did you change them?”
Shane’s eyes widened.
“Before waking Mr. Shane up.”
Lasha answered truthfully.
“Why… why didn’t I notice at all?”
Shane was taken aback.
“That is a meaningless question. A maid naturally has to take care of all the chores before the master orders, and a maid who needs to be told by the master is unqualified.”
Lasha stated this matter-of-factly.
But Shane shivered.
“Sure, that’s easy for you to say… but aren’t you being too frightening?! I didn’t notice at all that my clothes had been changed!?”
Shane always felt as if he had encountered something truly terrifying.
“Please don’t mind it.”
Lasha, however, remained the same, her expression unchanging.
“But…”
Shane wanted to say more.
“Please don’t mind it.”
Lasha repeated her words, as if telling Shane there was no need to keep asking senseless questions.
“…”
Shane fell silent.
Oh God, this maid seemed somewhat scary.
Especially since Shane also realized that even his undergarments had been changed, to ones that were very clean and obviously just washed and dried.
This situation made Shane even less calm.
Could it be…
“You… you even changed my underwear without me noticing?”
Shane asked Lasha fearfully.
“Yes.”
Lasha replied with a deadpan expression.
“This…”
Shane’s mouth twitched.
Lasha still looked as if it was all perfectly natural, as though she was informing Shane that all of this was quite normal.
Oh God, this maid was truly a bit scary.
Yet Shane still had to ask a question that concerned him greatly.
“Say, Lasha…”
“Yes, what might your orders be?”
“…when you helped me change my clothes, you didn’t see anything that you shouldn’t have, right?”
“That’s not the case.”
“Is… is that so?”
“Yes, as a maid, taking good care of the master is my duty and mission, and in order to complete my work, there is nothing that should not be seen.”
“…So you mean to say, you did see something?”
“Please rest assured, I have professional knowledge and am aware of the normal physical reactions of males in the morning, and I have already taken care of it for Mr. Xi’en.”
“Took care of it…!?”
“Yes, ensuring that Mr. Xi’en wouldn’t feel anything.”
“Wouldn’t feel anything…!?”
“If you are still concerned, you may verify for yourself, but if I may be frank, such actions are meaningless.”
“…”
Oh God, this maid wasn’t just a bit scary, she was really terrifying!
It really matters to me! What exactly did she do to me? How did she handle it?!
Who’s going to tell me aaaaaahhhhhh!? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Shane’s mental state crumbled.
“Alright, Mr. Xi’en, please stop crouching and holding your head. Breakfast is ready, so please make your way to the dining room.”
Lasha calmly advised Shane, who was crouching in front of her, embracing his head, looking utterly dejected.
Shane could only stand up with a somewhat collapsed mentality and move toward the door.
Lasha immediately followed, just as she did the day before, firmly maintaining a distance of about three steps behind Shane.
Along the way, the two had this exchange.
“By the way, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet…”
“Please rest assured.”
“…Don’t tell me…?”
“Yes.”
“…”
That’s it, next time I’ll look for a Skill that allows one to directly sense other people’s Qi, or one that makes you wake up immediately if someone touches you.
Otherwise, who knows when this maid might take me and sell me off as their top courtesan without me knowing.
