54 Chapter 54 ~ Shin and Alice (2/2)

[ ... ]

Still covering his eyes, he continues to walk without any actual plan of what to do.

Soon, he had reached a large garden full of all kinds of plants and flowers. There, he also saw one of the servants.

[ Oh, if it isn't Alice. ] he greeted as he walks towards her.

Shin had already memorized all the servants' names. He took the time to remember them each by their own appearance and their own names. Alice was one of the easiest he was able to know and memorize since she's the youngest and smallest of the servants.

[ O-Oh!? Shin-sama! ] as Alice saw his figure, she begins to panic and stutter.

Although they were the first to become servants, Shin is still considered as their 'senpai' at work. This makes Alice a bit cautious and anxious towards him.

[ Wha-What are you doing here, Shin-sama...? ]

[ I don't have anything to do for now. Boss had asked me to leave him be for a while, he said he wants to rest. ]

[ Vlad-sama wanted to rest? Un... maybe because he's been busy doing all kinds of stuff that he's tired... ] she says as she turns her head down a little.

[ Are you worried about him? ] he asked casually.

Alice turns her head upward to look at him, and answers:

[ Un... I heard from Sarah-san that Vlad-sama has been working and studying all day and he doesn't even sleep at night. I'm worried about Vlad-sama's health... ]

[ Well... don't worry about it, boss is always fine. ]

[ I-Is that so...? Do you honestly think? ]

[ Yes, I'm always with him so I know. ] he said to comfort Alicia who's face now showing her worry.

[ Un. ] she nodded to his answer.

( Vlad really knows how to treat his servants right, huh? Everyone views him in a positive way... Honestly... with that power, he could be as rude and greedy as he wants but he still treats these weak humans with care... )

He's been observing Vlad all this time, and none of the people he had met so far views him in a negative way. There were those who feel threatened by him but they are never aggressive and still respect him.

The two of them are completely different from each other, but still, he can't help himself but respect Vlad for what he is.

With these thoughts, he looks at again the girl that was in front of him. If he was still the dungeon that he was, he will not hesitate to kill this person, but now that he's the same as her, a servant of the same master, he definitely won't.

[ Anyway, what are you doing? ] he turns to look at the plants Alice was watering.

[ This are...!? ] he was immediately shocked by what he just saw.

[ U-Un! This is my job! These are master's favorite plants and he had assigned me to water them every day. It's really nice to have a job that takes care of Vlad-sama's favorite things, you know? ] she said with joy, as if her depressed state earlier suddenly disappeared.

[ Boss... ] he whispers as he looks again Alice in her eyes with a very concerned expression.

( I really just can't understand that guy... Even I would have a hard time dealing with this many strong monsters all at ones... I can't believe he assigned a single small human girl to water them... )

What he saw were the same kind of monsters that disguises themselves as plants and flowers. He had the same kind of monsters in a certain room of his dungeon that Vlad was able to annihilate, but even the monsters of that room won't compare to the density of the monsters that are planted in front of him.

[ Alice, you should be careful when you water these plants, okay? ]

[ Un! Vlad-sama had reminded me also to be extremely careful! I always do my best, Shin-sama. ]

[ O-Oh... Is that so...? ] Shin could only worry of the innocent girl who is facing death every day without her even knowing about it.

( I just really hope that these guys are already tamed by that Vlad... One snap and Alice's head would fall off... It's not that I'm concerned, but as fellow servants... )
