“I’m bored.”

I muttered to myself as I tossed and turned on the bed in my bedroom.

Lily, whom I always had to take care of, was at the academy by herself, and Helena, due to recent issues between nations, was busy with family matters, resulting in less time spent with me lately.

As a maid, I had no say in those inter-nation issues, and as a mere commoner, there was nothing I could do about it either.

So, my current task was to have the transformation potion ready and to make Helena and Lily happy. But Lily was at the academy, and Helena was busy with family matters, so they were not by my side at the moment.

Normally, I would wake Lily up, bathe her, do her makeup, dress her, and then spend time with Mari in the lounge while Lily was in class.

After Lily’s academy classes were over, I would accompany her and then bathe her again when we returned to the dormitory, and I would stroke her until she fell asleep, marking the end of my day.

Being quite busy and working hard, it felt too boring to be floating like this. So, I thought about doing some cleaning, but the maids and servants strongly advised against it.

“Hey, aren’t I a maid too?” I asked, but the head maid said that it was not something I should do, as overseeing was her responsibility.

I had been at the academy all this time, and Sophia was the one in charge of the head maid role.

So, the only thing I did now was to do nothing and wait, and when the maids or servants came to me, I would kneel and stroke them, which was the only task I had.

I wasn’t sure if this could be called a job, but I could say that stroking the pretty maids and servants was enjoyable.

But that was all there was to it. Eating, sleeping, and stroking were all I did now, which made me feel too bored.

Moreover, I realized that I didn’t have anyone in this world whom I could call a friend.

Lily and Helena felt more like children to raise, and the maids and servants all saw me as a mother figure. Since I was close to Lily and Helena, I felt like I couldn’t relax around them.

Camilla was a dragon, so she was a bit scary. But sometimes, when I saw her flipping my panties, I wondered if she was really a dragon, but the atmosphere around her did feel like that of a dragon.

Anyway, as I thought about these things, the conclusion was that I was incredibly bored and just floating around like this.

While I was rolling around and having various thoughts, I heard a commotion outside the window and saw many people entering the mansion.

They all looked like workers, and there was even someone who looked like a magician among them.

I didn’t think there was any need for repairs in the mansion right now, so I didn’t know why they had come. So, I decided to go see Helena, but she seemed very busy lately, so I gave up on the idea.

I would ask her about it when she came in the evening. Just as I was lost in thought, someone was walking towards the bedroom from outside.

At this time, it was highly likely to be Helena.

Sure enough, when the bedroom door opened and she entered, it was Helena. She looked very tired today, as if she had a hard day.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, Helena’s hair floated slightly, and a breeze blew into the room.

It seemed like Helena had a really tough day. Sometimes when Helena came in, her hair would shake and a breeze would blow, which was a phenomenon that occurred when Helena cast a spell in the bedroom.

After a short while, Helena’s charismatic and intimidating expression began to soften, and she immediately rushed towards me.

“Amelia!”

Helena rushed into my chest, causing me to involuntarily lie down on the bed. Helena buried her face in my chest and started playfully poking me as if nothing mattered.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

I gently stroked Helena’s head and thanked her for her hard work today. After spending some time like that, I asked Helena why the workers had come to the mansion today.

“Oh, they came to install a swimming pool in the mansion. So, the installation was completed today in the garden opposite the restaurant.”

“A swimming pool!?”

“Yes, yes. It’s trendy these days to build swimming pools.”

A swimming pool. It was great news for me, as I loved water. Even though I never had a reason to leave the mansion in the modern world, I still enjoyed swimming and would sometimes go to a swimming pool just to satisfy my love for water.

So, being content with baths and large tubs in the mansion, the idea of having a swimming pool was truly magical. To build a swimming pool in just one day was quite impressive.

“Can I use the swimming pool tomorrow?”

“Of course. Oh, by the way… do you have a swimsuit…? Ahem.”

I had never shown anyone my swimsuit before, as I had never needed to wear one. But I remembered seeing a swimsuit in my luggage, so I brightly smiled and replied.

“Of course!”

“Could you tell me what kind of swimsuit it is…?”

As I recalled organizing my luggage, I remembered the swimsuit I had seen.

“It was probably a black bikini.”

“A bi… bikini! You did well to build a swimming pool.”

Helena’s soft voice made it hard to hear her words.

A bikini. In truth, I had more memories and happier memories from Amelia’s current life than from my past modern life, so I had almost no aversion to it.

After the swimming pool discussion, Helena and I finished bathing together, and I hugged her as we fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I noticed that Helena was no longer in the bedroom, which surprised me a bit.

I usually woke up first and then woke up Lily and Helena, but today, Helena had gotten up first and left the bedroom while I couldn’t wake up from my sleep.

‘I need to take better care of my body.’

I stretched my arms above my head and got out of bed.

Since I had nothing to do, I usually stayed in bed for a long time, but today, I had to prepare in advance to go to the swimming pool.

After washing my body clean, I hurriedly ran to my luggage in the nude.

When I opened it, I saw a black bikini. I smiled and tried to put it on, but then a problem arose.

“It’s a bit small…?”

I remembered it fitting my body perfectly, but for some reason, the swimsuit was a bit small.

“Did I gain weight…?”

The lower part was fine, but I realized that the chest area was a bit tight.

“Do breasts grow first when you gain weight?”

I remembered that the sizes of the underwear I wore four years ago and the ones I wore now were different. I had changed to a larger size because my chest had felt too tight at one point.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

It wasn’t so tight that I couldn’t wear it, and it wasn’t uncomfortable enough to prevent me from swimming, so I decided to just wear it and go swimming.

I put on the bikini and covered myself with a robe before leaving the bedroom.

As I walked to the swimming pool, I realized that I had done something foolish. I should have changed in the dressing room at the swimming pool instead of changing from the bedroom like a fool.

Naturally, I attracted a lot of attention as I walked to the swimming pool. The maids and servants passing by asked me what was going on, and I awkwardly smiled and told them that I was going to the swimming pool.

However, for some reason, the maids and servants I passed by started following me.

One, two, three. The maids and servants kept increasing. Feeling somewhat burdened, I cautiously asked them.

“Why are you following me?”

“To protect Lady Amelia.”

‘But aren’t you from noble families? Well, there have been incidents like that.’

I was about to refute the maids and servants’ words, but remembering the assassination attempt I had faced, I nodded my head.

But aren’t the maids and servants ordinary people too? I wondered, but their expressions were so serious that I had no choice but to let them accompany me.

When we finally arrived at the swimming pool, about ten maids and servants followed me.

Fortunately, the maids and servants did not enter the changing room. I sighed, took off my robe, and entered the pool.

“Wow…”

Under the clear sky, a surprisingly large and clean swimming pool with neat interior greeted me. I had never seen such clean water that I couldn’t even see the bottom of the pool.

Smiling involuntarily at the overwhelming scenery of the beautiful pool reflecting the sunlight, my smile quickly disappeared.

The reason was that all the maids and servants who had followed me to the pool were staring at me.

They gathered around me, shielding me and standing in my place. Sophia, who was acting as the head maid, ordered the maids and servants.

“Make sure no one looks at Lady Amelia’s body recklessly.”

They nodded in response to Sophia’s command, but their eyes did not move away from me, and they all blushed.

‘Can’t you look at me…?’

Unconsciously, I covered my chest with my hands in response to their gaze. If they were strangers, it would have been uncomfortable, but since they were maids and servants who were close to me, I only felt embarrassed.

‘Can I even swim properly like this…?’
