“Good morning, no. It’s evening.”

“You came down. Take a seat here for now.”

“What more could you ask of this weak and feeble old-time villain, Blanc?”

“Sit down first. We’ve already talked among ourselves, but I want to hear what you have to say.”

“Are you talking about me? What are you trying to say?”

“Your vacation. Starting today, I’m going to rest for a month and go play with the kids.”

“Yes?”

“Go out and play. Oh, if I say it’s vacation, she’ll say no, so… Think of it as babysitting her. You know, like playing with her for a day.”

“I have a lot of work to do…? Are you telling me to stop working and go out and play after seeing that mess last time? Personally, I feel like I can’t stand it anymore and I’m going to run away… ”

“I’ll adjust the schedule appropriately. And we can do the work if you tell us. Everyone here is an adult except for two people.”

“Isn’t that because it’s not pretty?”

“But you’re good at doing what you’re told, right?”

“Okay. I don’t really need to do this, whether it’s playing or something. Everyone is busy. It’s not good to waste time on me like that.”

“Huh? Oh, you don’t have to worry about our schedule. It’s just a matter of adjusting it a little bit, right?”

“Okay. I feel better just going about my day as usual. I don’t want to be a burden to you all.”

“Hmm… I think you’re thinking about something wrong.”

“Yes?”

“This isn’t for you. Well, it’s not that I don’t want you to get some rest, but we’re doing this because we want to have fun, right?”

“Yes… ?”

“Well, that’s it. I told you earlier. Someone who pays to play with you. You’re the perfect person for that. Yeah.”

“Isn’t there Ellie too?”

“This guy is on our side this time too.”

I have absolutely no idea what I’m hearing here.

Ellie sits across from me and spends money to play with me by cooperating with those magical girls…?

“Isn’t Ellie also in a position where she was hired by you for money just like me?”

“I heard Suyeon has a lot of money?”

“Yes?”

“I don’t know about former Eden villain Ellis, but I heard that association employee Kim Su-yeon has money saved up.”

After hearing that, Eli took Blanc aside and explained further.

“Hmm… Actually, I’ve been dealing with Eden’s secret activity funds quite a bit. There’s quite a bit of money that’s been converted into virtual assets, and there’s also a lot of money that’s been laundered and hidden here and there… It’s not bad, right? In addition, she’s registered with the association under the name of Kim Soo-yeon. So there’s quite a bit of money that’s been paid in advance in the form of a deposit.”

“No, Ellie…? Wait, if you had that money, couldn’t you have helped me first…? The money I have to pay back now… Sigh… ”

“Ugh… I don’t think I can do anything about that. At this point, I can’t touch the secret funds anymore, right?”

“… Ah. Everyone? You know I didn’t hear about the secret funds thing just now, right? ”

“I don’t care anyway. Blanc didn’t say anything either.”

“No, haa… Aren’t you being too loose-lipped?”

“Whatever. Anyway, the best I can do to help you is the money I received from the association. And, I’m trying to give you that money right now, right?”

“… What?”

“Play with the kids for 1 month. Your bonus comes from me.”

“What…?”

“Even if I am employed here with you, there is a fundamental difference between you and me. I am employed because of you, and you are tied down by debt.”

“We’re both villains anyway, so we’re both tied up here, right?”

“That’s true, but I don’t have a huge debt like you. There’s no reason for me to be tied up here.”

“To be exact. I’m a released villain, and you’re a villain who hasn’t been caught yet. Even though I have a lot of debt, I’m the one who doesn’t have any legal problems. Isn’t it you who’s actually in danger right now?”

“Ahem, ahem! Anyway! The bottom line is that this time, I am your employer, just like the other magical girls! Not your housekeeper junior! Got it? ”

“Haa… Why are you bothering me so much? Blanc, can’t we just pretend it never happened?”

“Yeah. I’ve already made a whole month’s schedule. You just have to move accordingly. Oh, I printed it out here. I’ll put it on the fridge later. ”

“… ‘Vine usage schedule’? What on earth do you think of me?”

“A cute kid with a great sense of responsibility?”

“The cute words coming out of your mouth are really… ”

“Why? It’s an objective fact. The word cute still comes up frequently in communities and on the internet, right?”

“No, do they still do that even though they know what I did? Even now? Isn’t it because it’s been longer than I thought since I left the house that they’re not saying anything?”

“You, when you go to the market or mart to buy groceries, do you know that if Ellis doesn’t disguise herself, she’ll take a picture right away?”

“Huh? What… Isn’t that paparazzi?”

“Celebrities can’t be helped. It’s comfortable when you enjoy it.”

“No, I am notorious… ”

“Okay, anyway. Let’s read through it all. Hye-won can follow tomorrow. We’ll adjust it so that 6 people can go for 5 days each. If there’s a change in the date, we can talk to each other and change it. Oh, you know I have to tell Binnie too, right?”

“No, my opinion is.”

“Ah, the delivery guy is at the door. Can I ask you something, Arin?”

“Yes, Sister.”

My opinion was ultimately ignored, along with the sound of Arin running out to the door to receive the delivery.

And, the schedule in my hand showed traces of really detailed revisions.

It looks like it kept adjusting until I woke up.

No, more than that. A month.

Ellie must have talked about it too.

The last day, which coincides exactly with the day the operation to rebuild Eden begins.

…I feel sorry for the child who had the last day.

If it had been Blanc or a crybaby, I could have hit him in the back of the head like I always did.

No, did Ellie make this schedule with this in mind?

No, he proudly monopolized the middle of the schedule.

What are you trying to do with me…? If you go back to Eden, you’ll have plenty of time.

Spending money for this little bit of time…

We also spend a lot of time face to face…

It would be right to follow for now. It’s something you can’t get caught doing.

I feel dizzy.

“Excuse me, Blanc. Yeah, I understand. I guess I should follow what you say, right? Yeah. But the important thing is, what exactly should I do during the time listed on this schedule?”

“Hmm… Do whatever the kids ask you to do? I believe you’ll figure out what’s too much on your own. But the kids want to play with you, so they make time for you. If possible, you should listen to them, right?”

“Forcing me to play while it’s vacation. What a vicious boss.”

“If you don’t do this, I’m saying this because it’s obvious that you’ll overdo it. Ah, Arin! Put it on the table. I’ll set it up! Bine, then, fighting from tomorrow? Come and sit down. Let’s eat. It’s going to get cold. ”

“Haa… I just woke up and there’s so much stuff going on in my head that I can’t seem to organize it… ”

“Yeah, I guess it’s better to think about it while eating. Okay, chicken doesn’t taste good when it’s cold? No matter how much it’s fried chicken, it’s not good when it’s cold. Hurry up.”

Sigh. There’s nothing I can do.

I guess I have no choice but to comply this time too.

Still, if you have to criticize, you have to criticize. What can I do?

Well, I guess I should trust Ellie to do the housework for me and leave it to her…

It’s true that Ellie is not trustworthy.

Honestly, you shouldn’t treat me like that.

How much have I… from Eden to Eli…

Haa. No.

Well, still, she’s my most precious friend whom I can’t live without.

Yes, sometimes it’s better to move toward a better future than to lament.

If I were to throw a tantrum and say I don’t want to do it here… I think they’d listen. But I still have my pride.

Yes. Tomorrow’s schedule is to go out with Hye-won and Crybaby.

So, I guess I should ask her directly.

What do you want to do? Do you have any plans?

First of all, you want to use me like this.

And I’ll have to ask Ellie too. If I need a disguise, I’ll have to ask Ellie for help.

If I listen to what Blanc said earlier, if I go outside like this, people’s eyes will be on me again.

“Crybaby, aren’t you the first batter?”

“Oh, yeah. Right?”

“Do you have a course in mind or something like that?”

“No? There isn’t any?”

“Yes?”

Oh, that’s right. He was an unplanned kid.

I didn’t know that it would be so scary to fight without a plan and just push through with force, only to end up breaking expectations.

Even the battle prediction system created by Eden is not detecting the attack coming in through a path.

But, this is where I first learned that such tendencies appear in everyday life.

Secretly, no.

A person who is extremely unplanned and lives as he pleases.

So much so that it could be called a synonym for a simple person.

A person who is really not picky about food and is so insensitive that he can fall asleep as soon as his head touches something.

Yet, he is a person who is more sensitive than anyone else.

I asked her what she would want for a day with me.

As expected, the answer was full of annoyance, not out of the blue.

“No, I don’t really have anything I want to do. Oh, should I call my sister?”

“Well, then why did you have to do the first day?”

“Oh, that’s, what… just?”

“Huh?”

“Well, it just so happened that way. Hey, where do you want to go?”

“I don’t really have one. Rather, I tried to accommodate other people… ”

“Oh, really… This is getting tricky… ”

“Well, leaving aside the fact that you’re going out, is there anything else you want? If you want to go out and move around like a normal girl 1, not like this disgusting villain, just ask Ellie.”

“Me? I don’t really want anything… Ah. When you’re out, can you at least call me by my name instead of crying?”

“That’s not hard, though. I didn’t know you’d want that?”

“Why? I like my name better than a nickname that makes me teased.”

“You probably know exactly what my criteria is for giving nicknames.”

“Ugh. Even if all that goes aside, it’s a bit much to be called a crybaby outside. Or at least call me by my stage name.”

“You can’t be weak. You’re a crybaby. You’re way below my standards.”

“Ah… Okay. Name, name is enough.”

“What do you think? Since you don’t like it, I’ll call you by your name. Is Hyewon enough?”

“Then… can I not call you Unnie?”

“I’m the same age as Blanc. There’s no reason for me to call you sister.”

“But there is something called feeling.”

“You want so much. It would be better if you gave up on that. Think carefully about other plans. Oh. What time should I wake you up tomorrow?”

“No, I’ll wake you up, so sleep well today.”

“Waking up early is nothing special to me… ”

“I’m tired, that’s why. I.”

“Are you talking about a sleepyhead when you’re not even a beauty?”

“Hey, that’s not it.”

“Okay, I see. Well… I guess you have your own thoughts.”

“I really can’t talk to him. One by one, really.”

Yeah, they said tomorrow is Hye-won’s day…

There’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to get along.

What would this simple friend like…?

You’ll do well on your own, right?

That mediocre day passed by in an instant.

Even though I was hired as a housekeeper, I was forced to do nothing.

Why do you say that you should sleep more to grow taller?
