501 Manners (1/2)
”It's cold.....”
So far, I've often woken up with a hint of air rather than waking up due to the morning sun.
The frozen air is spreading outside the bed, and my body refuses to leave the bed.
”You have to sleep twice at a time like this.”
There is already a warm space here. You don't have to force yourself out.
Cold winters are the best time to go to bed twice.
I'll bury my face in bed and close my eyelids.
Ah, it feels good to shake the boundaries of consciousness while feeling the temperature inside this plump bed.
The door was knocked unexpectedly when I was tasting the pleasant slumber for a while.
”Alfred, it's time to get up.”
Ringing words echo in the quiet bedroom. It's the maid Sarah.
I don't remember deciding when to wake up.
It is a time she has chosen for herself, and I will not obey it honestly.
”Coming in.”
As she meditated without responding, Sarah used the key to enter.
Maybe it's because I was psychic and locked the door and pulled it in.
By default, it carries a key for emergency preparedness. I wonder how well prepared it is.
Something unexpected happened that suddenly came into my house, but it wasn't me who made it so easy.
As she decides to fall asleep, Sarah's hands are shaken by her shoulders.
”Alfred, wake up.”
I'm not the one who wakes up with Sarah shaking me lightly.
Rather, the vibration and gentle voice are like a babysitter song to me, and my consciousness tilts towards the darkness.
”Alfred, I have to get up now....”
What if I don't get up now?
”Erinola is coming.”
A pleasant babysitter song turned around and sounded like a melody inviting me to death.
I was named Erinola's sister, and I woke up unconscious.
My body subconsciously uses my survival instincts to predict the appearance of natural enemies.
Good morning, Mr. Alfred.
”... Sarah. Isn't it against the rules to wake him up?
”To get you all together for breakfast.”
With a blaming look on her face, Sarah flushed with a cool face.
Is it because the instinct for survival is fully open and adrenaline comes out? Sleepiness blew up in an instant. I can't feel like sleeping twice at the earliest.
I had no choice but to change from sleeping clothes to personal clothes.

After breakfast in the dining room, the family moves to the living room.
It is the usual practice of the Slaughter family to relax in the living room like this after meals.
I want to drink warm tea first, but I want to warm my body before that.
”... why are you in the best position?”
When you get to your destination, there's a whole big slime there. The big slime was in front of the fireplace.
She stood there like she was staring at the fire without doing anything in particular.
”Isn't that amazing? Looks like Bartolo was the first to turn on the fireplace.”
”Same as Al.”
Sylvio and Erinola, sitting on the sofa, say that to each other.
Don't try to find a comfortable place instantly. It's like a cat.
It's cheerful to be in the most comfortable place for a slime.
I thought I'd sit on it because it's a big slime, but then I decided to stop it because the whole day would blow up for nothing.
I had no idea what would happen if I buried myself on this corrupt couch the other day.
We need to figure out where to use it. Oh, I can't even drink warm tea.
Different from our assumptions, it has unexpectedly become a difficult cushion to use.
So I'm too familiar with the fact that it's only been a week since I came to the Mansion.
Nord, who was very alert to size at first, doesn't care at all now.
Besides, there is no discomfort in the living room even now. It's incredibly adaptable.
