The Borrowed: Aerium's Breeze

Struggle to awake: Trust to disbelief

Whitepale Mansion,
Border between Southern
and Western district

My name is Rhea

Today is my fourth day as a servant to my new master.

It's truly a disgrace to my deceased family that a proud beastman like myself succumb to a human as servant.

[Rhea is a stern lady who's unable to express her emotions properly. She just turns 19 years old months ago. She still holds to her own beliefs despite going through the harsh experience.]

But, it's still fortunate since i'm not treated as a slave.

My new master is weird, he released me the moment he bought me as a slave.

No, even seconds before he did it.

He still needs my help to clean and maintain the mansion though, but he bought many things for my needs.

He even buys me food everyday, the same one as his own. Training me in every chance we get, but still need me accompanying him everywhere.

He told me to just call him by name or brother. Even that day at the guild, he called me sister.

I don't get it at all about his gestures.

Since it doesn't sit me well, i try to do other chores as servant. Though in the end he never allows me doing it by myself whenever he sees me.

But it doesn't make me giving up!
I will certainly become a perfect servant one of these days.

Uugghh...Now it confuses me, is it fortunate or unfortunate that i get bought by master?

"Ah! it's already seven o'clock. I should wake master and prepare to go out."

"Master, are you awake already?"
"Yes, come in."

*clack*
"Sorry for being late, Master. I was absorbed into my own thought back then."

"About what?"
"Uuh..about being your servant."

*chuckle*
"i already told you many times, we're family. Don't think too much about that."

"But, still master! It hurts my pride!"
"Haahh, alright do it moderately. Don't too hard."

"Yes, sir."
"Now there is something i want to tell you and please keep it secret to others."

"What is it, sir? Is there something so important?"

"Not at all, but it sure will bring troubles in the future."

"Then I'll make sure to keep it secret."

"It's all about my origin and abilities."

"Is it alright? I mean as your servant, i don't need to know your origin, ma-"

"Indeed as servant. But you are my family, and the only one right now."

".... Master.. But, how about Mrs. Flamerose and Manna? Aren't they closer acquaintance to you?"

"Indeed for this world body, but not for my original body."

"W-what do you mean?"

"I was summoned from other world like the heroes. But for temporary, the guardian lend me a soulless body from this world."

"W-what? Is that possible? N-no, even if that's possible, then you're being undead?!"

"The guildmaster said the same. But it's possible for the guardian who is granted the God's permit. So you could say i'm similar to reincarnated one."
