Chapter 2: Prince Kurobuta thanks the maid
Brad von Pistel.
His nickname among fans of the game “Final Quest” is “Brad Pitt”.
This is an ironic derogatory term since despite having a similar name to the Hollywood actor, he looks like a black pig. There’s also the true rumor that if you were to translate “kurobuta” into English, it would be “black pig,” and that’s what the producers did.
Brad in the game appears as a villainous young king who was fascinated by the Demon King and planned to use the lives of the people as the foundation for the Demon King’s awakening. Eventually, he is executed by the hero and his companion, his own younger brother.
In other words, he’s a character who will die.
He’s a villain, he’s fat, and is killed in the end.
That was the life of a game character named Brad von Pistel, and the future of the boy who was the former Kurokawa Hayato who had reincarnated as Brad.
(… Usually, if you’re reincarnated, you’re a hero or his companion! There’s also the worst, the Demon King, but … I’m a fat villain character who just likes to bitch.)
What kind of punishment game is it that the death end is decided on top of that?
The current Brad is 14 years old.
It’s true that Brad in the game was about 18 years old, and his father, the King, is still alive, so there’s a grace period of about four years before he’s executed.
However, looking back on his life as Brad, he’s been just like the proud King Brad in the game, and if it goes on like this, his execution is inevitable.
“No, I don’t want to die! No way!”
“—Brad-sama, what happened desu!? Is something wrong!?”
As I was scratching my head, a girl in a maid outfit hurriedly entered the room.
The petite girl, who’s as adorable as a rabbit, is my exclusive maid Rosie.
It’s been a few hours since Brad collapsed in class and was brought into this room, but given the speed at which she entered, she seemed to have been waiting outside the room all this time. She was waiting for me to wake up.
“Is your body hurting desu!? I’ll call a healer right away …”
“Oh no … I’m okay, so you don’t have to do that.”
Brad stopped Rosie, who was about to rush out of the room.
When Brad grabbed her by the shoulders, Rosie cowered as if frightened, then hastily lowered her head.
“I’m sorry for my …… mistake desu! I’ll be careful from now on…… please forgive me!”
She apologized as if she had violated a law that she should never break.
I see, she seems to be completely frightened.
Brad was stupid and didn’t care too much, but now that the memories and sensations of my previous life have come back, I can see Rosie’s unconcealed fear of Brad.
There was no way he was going to punish her for that, but up until now, Brad had been the kind of kid who would fry others and punish them for little or no reason. It was no wonder Rosie was scared.
In fact, Brad has punished his servants due to his prideful and nasty behavior, and many have quit because they couldn’t stand it. Rosie should be the 7th or 8th exclusive maid. When I think about it now, it’s really ridiculous.
(… I have to be careful from now on)
I have lived as a Brad for 14 years, but I lived more than twice as long as Kurokawa Hayato. Now that the memories of my previous life have been revived, the personality of Kurokawa Hayato is stronger, and my feeling of guilt towards the servants was tremendous.
The bad deeds of the past have not disappeared, but from now on, Brad decided to be as gentle as possible to his servants.
“No … there’s no need to apologize. You were just worried about me. Rosie, you’ve worked hard. Thank you.”
Whether as a backlash of Brad’s previous personality or simply because of Kurokawa Hayato’s lack of communicative competence, Brad was very blunt but called out to Rosie like so.
Rosie opened her eyes wide in astonishment.
She moved her mouth as if struggling to say something for a while.
Eventually, large drops of water formed in the corners of her eyes, and she finally began to cry.
“Huh, oi … why are you crying!?”
“I’m so sorry desu……! But I didn’t expect to receive such words of appreciation from Brat-sama, I was always scolded cause I didn’t live up to expectations so I was trying hard not to mess up but when you praised me my tension broke because I was so happy… waahhh!”
Rosie began to cry as she said this.
To make her cry just by expressing his gratitude just reaffirms how much Brad was a target of fear for her.
(I always lost my temper over trivial things, I’m really sorry)
Brad soothes Rosie, reflecting on his past attitude.
After a while, Rosie came to her senses.
“Eek! I’m so sorry desu! I cried in front of Brat-sama, and even had you comfort me! I was so rude! This rudeness, with my life…”
“No … don’t worry about it. Rather, It’s me who should apologize. Because of my attitude, I have caused you more trouble than necessary. From now on, I will be a man who you won’t be ashamed to call your master. Will you continue to serve me? “
” Brad-sama …”
Rosie was touched and her eyes moistened again.
Eventually, she nodded her head rapidly and said,
“Of course! This Rosie desu, will serve you wholeheartedly! In the first place, it’s still me who should apologize! I’m from a poor low-ranking noble family, and I’m grateful to you for taking me as your exclusive maid and giving me a high salary. Despite that … I was thinking that such a kind Brad-sama wasn’t a good master. Even though you were thinking of a servant like me! Even though you’re such a kind and generous master! I’m so sorry desu! “
Rosie leans forward and says that.
It was awkward because Brad had never cared about the maidservants before, and the reason he had taken Rosie was because her appearance was excellent.
Rosie is a petite beautiful girl who seems to have a small amount of dwarf blood in her body and has a rabbit-like loveliness. She also seemed to be cheerful and harmless, which suited the prideful Brad who wanted to dominate people and make them do what he wants. That’s the only reason he hired her and it was never because of kindness.
(… Well, it shouldn’t be a problem if she misunderstands it in a good way)
Brad shrugged calmly, as he stared at Rosie, who shed tears of joy.
