Chapter 1260

<Chapter 1260> 1260. Dark Moon

“I’m also testing the bed’s performance. Wait just a moment. You need to sit on a bed for about a minute to know if it’s a good one.”

“Is that so? Then I shall sit beside you and check as well.”

Yuria sat next to me. The distance was close enough that our shoulders subtly touched. Her fragrance made me feel dizzy.

“Master.”

“Eh, yeah?”

“A minute has passed.”

Instead of subsiding, my excitement only grew stronger.

“Ugh… I can’t quite tell about the bed’s quality. I’ll need to sit here for three minutes.”

“Yes, understood. Master, would it be alright if I lay down on the bed for a moment?”

“It’s your bed too, right? Go ahead.”

Yuria lay down on the bed. Unlike before, she lay down in a proper posture. I looked at her absentmindedly, my eyes inadvertently going to her ample bosom, then quickly raised my gaze with a stern expression when our eyes met. She smiled—a bewitching smile that made me hurriedly look away. I stayed seated on the bed like that for five minutes.

Afterward, we went to look at other furniture, and I had to watch as she inspected them in peculiar ways.

For instance, while most people would simply sit on a chair to test it, Yuria first grabbed the backrest to check its durability. After lightly tapping the armrests, she squatted in front of the chair.

“…Why are you squatting in front of the chair?”

I couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m checking the condition of the seat.”

“How is it? Are you satisfied?”

“Yes, it’s been neatly finished.”

The desk was no different. She started by gripping the edges to check the grip, then straddled the desk.

“When sitting like this, my feet barely touch the ground.”

“Is that an important factor for a desk?”

“It is for me. This way, I can gauge how sturdy it is.”

“Durability does matter.”

After purchasing wardrobes and open shelves, we finally left the furniture store. Two hours had already passed. Shopping with Yuria was confusing, but very enjoyable.

We took a carriage taxi and returned home together.

“This is…”

“It’s kind of embarrassing. It’s an old house. Not very big, and there are lots of things lacking.”

“It’s a wonderful house with character. And a house is what you make of it.”

I opened the black iron fence and entered. I entered the password into the digital lock. Click. The door opened.

“Master, could you teach me the password?”

“I can’t not teach it to the maid of this house, right?”

Just as I was about to say the password, Yuria moved closer to me. She tilted her ear toward me. Hesitating for a moment, I quietly whispered it into her ear.

“588274.”

Yuria’s lips trembled slightly. It seemed like she was trying to hold back laughter. She probably didn’t understand the meaning of the numbers; it must have been ticklish from my breath.

“Can you remember it?”

“I’ve already memorized it.”

We entered the house together.

Inside was quiet and dim as usual. Click. I pressed the switch to turn on the fluorescent light. Due to the lack of furniture and decorations, the house felt cold and spacious. As I absentmindedly turned my head, I noticed Yuria slowly looking around the house with sparkling eyes. Just her presence made the house feel warmer.

“The first floor has the kitchen, living room, and utility room. The basement… I plan to turn it into my workshop.”

“May I enter Master’s workshop?”

“You’ll need to clean it, so yes. But please don’t touch anything carelessly. It could be dangerous. Your room will be…”


“The second floor’s where it’s at. It’s the room across from mine, same size, so you shouldn’t have any complaints. Also, the bathroom and shower are on the second floor.”

“Hmm, I thought I saw an attic when we were looking at the outside of the house.”

“It does exist, but since there’s no real use for it, I’ve just left it alone. If you need it for something, feel free to use it.”

“First… can I unpack my things and take a look around the kitchen?”

“Of course. When we moved in this time, I replaced all the appliances with the latest models.”

“That’s exciting.”

About an hour later, food and furniture began arriving. People kept coming in and out nonstop. Yuria greeted them all as a maid.

Even though she said she had no experience as a maid, her people skills were top-notch. There was no need for me to intervene. And being a 2nd-class knight certainly helped; she effortlessly lifted heavy furniture.

Still, I didn’t want to just stand around, so I started putting groceries into the fridge. The once-empty 800-liter fridge, which only had bottled water, began filling up. It gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.

“Damn, buying all these new appliances was such a good decision. I knew they’d come in handy someday.”

Once all the delivery guys left, Yuria entered the kitchen.

“Your dinner won’t take long. Please wait just a moment.”

“Take your time. We’ve got plenty of time.”

I headed upstairs so I wouldn’t get in her way, but sitting in the chair, thinking about living here with her… it was hard to calm down.

“Come on, Jin. Get a grip. A maid isn’t a slave. You can’t treat her poorly.”

Not that I wanted to treat her poorly anyway. And I still don’t fully trust her. After all, we just met today. But it’s oddly not awkward at all, which is kind of unsettling.

“Anyway, first things first: money. I’ll think about business plans later. Gotta save some cash first. I should check that place out tomorrow afternoon.”

It was a task I’d been procrastinating on due to lack of motivation, but now I actually felt like doing it. I need to earn money to pay Yuria’s salary.

“Hmph. If I’m going into business, I’ll definitely need to consider labor costs…”

While I was lost in thought, Yuria knocked on the door.

“Master, dinner is ready.”

“I’ll be right there.”

I sat at the prepared table. Yuria stood beside me.

“Yuria, would you like to join me?”

“Master, I am your maid.”

“It feels lonely eating by myself.”

“…Alright then. Since it’s too late to prepare my portion now, I’ll start making two servings starting tomorrow morning.”

I nodded.

“Master, your fork and knife must always point downward.”

“Eh, really?”

“Yes. In Neo London, dining etiquette is extremely important. In the past, many people were insulted simply for lacking proper table manners.”

“Man, what a hassle. I don’t want to bother with all that… but if I want to do business, I guess I’ll have to learn.”

“Gentlemen of the upper class say that someone without manners isn’t even human. Would it be alright if I teach you proper etiquette, Master?”

“To be honest, I was about to ask you to do exactly that.”

I took a bite of the steak.

The universe opened before me. The juice exploded in my mouth as I chewed the perfectly cooked meat. The sauce complemented the flavors beautifully without overpowering them.

Mesmerized, I chewed slowly before finally swallowing. Time seemed to stretch—10 seconds felt like a minute.

“Does it suit your taste?”

“It’s perfect! This is the first time I’ve ever tasted something that satisfies my palate this much!”

“That’s wonderful.”

Yuria smiled softly. Caught up in the excitement, I forgot all about etiquette and proceeded to devour the steak. It was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Even the random wine I absentmindedly sipped turned out to be flawless—it paired perfectly with the steak. Expensive stuff really does make a difference.

She elegantly poured more wine into my glass while standing by my side.

Only then did I realize how rude I’d been, shoveling the steak into my mouth like a savage, and I chuckled nervously.

“…Medium rare. Incredible medium rare with this much juice. Truly amazing.”

“The quality of the meat was excellent.”

“But did I ever tell you I prefer medium rare?”

“…My mistake. I should have asked you beforehand.”

“No, no, I’m not blaming you. On the contrary, I’m very satisfied.”

For dessert, there was vanilla ice cream and mango. Perfect timing since I was craving ice cream, so I happily dug in.

This satisfying meal put me in a great mood.

‘If having a maid was this convenient and exceptional, I would’ve hired one right after moving to Neo London. No, Yuria is special. Cooking like this…’


The body is something not even a high-class restaurant chef could prepare.’

I put down the dishes.

“Yuria. That was the finest steak. It made me feel like the universe was sparkling.”

“I’m glad you were satisfied.”

After showering her with praise, I got up from my seat and headed to my room, giving her space to eat in peace.

I entered the bathroom and cleaned myself. For a moment, Yuria came to mind, but no matter what, I couldn’t ask her to attend to my bath.

11 PM.

A problem arose. One of the legs on Yuria’s bed had broken. And unfortunately, the broken piece had pierced into the mattress. There was no way I could use the bed now.

“The leg broke as soon as I sat down after getting ready for bed. Seems like we got a defective product.”

“It’s too late to complain to the store now. Just use my bed tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

“That won’t do. How can a maid possibly take her master’s bed?”

Yuria said firmly. I desperately tried to keep my eyes from wandering downward. She was wearing a see-through black negligee. If I stared openly, she might accuse me of sexual harassment or something.

‘Let me glance slowly… just a little. That protruding part must be her nipple… I want to touch it.’

“…Alright. If that’s your wish, there’s nothing I can do. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

“The couch isn’t meant for sleeping, Master.”

Yuria frowned seriously.

She had a point, so I couldn’t argue.

“…Then what?”

“Your bed is rather spacious, isn’t it?”

“It’s not that big. It’s just a super single.”

“It’s more than enough for two people. Please let me sleep in your bed tonight, just for tonight.”

I suspected she’d had too much wine, but her eyes were clear. She wasn’t drunk.

I racked my brain. What was her reason for this? Was she crazy about men? No way. If Yuria wanted to get physical with me, she would have stripped and jumped on me like Lexina 212.

‘Is she testing me? Seeing if I’m worthy to be her master?’

I started to feel tense.

I didn’t want to lose Yuria. Not only was her beauty unmatched, but I didn’t want to lose a chef who could satisfy my palate.

“Fine, let’s sleep together tonight.”

“Yes, Master.”

And so, we lay down in the same bed. Despite being a super single, it didn’t feel cramped. It was just that the presence of Yuria under the same blanket made it hard for me to fall asleep. I could even hear her breathing.

While my heart was pounding wildly, Yuria seemed completely unfazed and fell asleep within five minutes. Her steady breathing confirmed she was out. I was surprised by how relaxed she was.

‘…There was something careless about choosing furniture too. Is it because she grew up at the knight training academy…?’

I slightly turned my head. The sleeping her revealed her large chest rising and falling beneath the blanket. A pleasant scent wafted from Yuria.

I felt my erection as I closed my eyes.

‘I can overcome this trial!’

It took me thirty minutes to finally close my eyes.

But the trials weren’t over. I woke up feeling uncomfortable. Yuria was using my right arm as a pillow and leaning against my body. Her soft, ample breasts pressed against my torso.

I slightly turned my head again. I could feel her breath. Even in sleep, her face was angelic. After deep contemplation, I kissed her lips gently. Afraid she might wake up, I refrained from putting my tongue inside and merely brushed my lips against hers.

With a tinge of regret, I closed my eyes again.

I dreamt.

In my dream, Yuria appeared. Naked, she wore a dog collar, and I strolled through the night holding her leash.

Yuria barked “woof woof.” I affectionately stroked her hair. When I touched her chin, she shivered with a lazy expression. Then Yuria gave me an excellent blowjob, and as a reward, I plunged into her pussy.

“…It’s difficult. With this, how can I fulfill the request from Master…”

“Woof! Woof woof!”

Happy dream voices mixed with Yuria’s barks, making it hard to understand.

“Ooh, Yuria! My little bitch!”

I shouted in the dream.

…I want to believe I only shouted in the dream.
