The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

The Great Sneaker of Chersea (Part 1)

***One time at the Holy Chambers palace***

The Holy Palatial Gardens' Head Maid, Lilyhaven Tamriel von Leese, stood by one window of the palace. Her eyes looked toward the gardens, though her mind was flying elsewhere.

"Haa..."

"That's one melancholic sigh you got there, Lily."

The Head Maid's train of thoughts stopped. Turning around, she saw Her Holiness, the Saint of Chersea, standing behind her.

"Y-Your Holiness!" she almost jumped in surprise, "I didn't notice you at all!"

"Indeed. I've been here since the start of the chapter and was looking for you before that."

"Ha?"

"Don't mind me."

"M-My apologies, Y-Your Holiness!" the Head Maid bowed, "I made you wait for long."

"Nah, it's fine." the Saint replied, along with a gentle smile, "Well, to be honest, I was looking for you because lately I noticed something different. And I'd like to confirm my thoughts about it."

The Head Maid fell silent.

"You know what I'm talking about, right, Princess Lily?"

"About him?"

"Yes." the Saint nodded, "That guy from the otherworld, Kuro."

The Head Maid sighed, "Well, I find him trustworthy..."

"Indeed, you are. You're even willing to fight your fellow servants to protect him."

"He has done nothing wrong."

"I believe so too; I can read minds, remember?" Her Holiness hugged her friend, at which the Head Maid huddled up to her, "And I'm really glad you became lively once again."

"T-thanks, Your Holiness!"

"Yes...however, you know very well that Kuro is a different person, right?" the Saint gently tapped the Head Maid's shoulder, "That he won't be a replacement for your older brother."

"I understand that, Your Holiness..." the Head Maid went back to staring outside, as tears fell from her eyes, "However, I can't help it. Mister Kuro reminds me of him, especially, after that time when Mister Kuro pushed me out of harm's way to save me."

"I'm sorry I couldn't save your brother back then."

"Hm...it's alright, Your Holiness." the Head Maid wiped her tears, "I know you did everything you could. It's just that, my brother gave up his life for me..."

**Kuro**

Ahh...a new 'day' has arrived.

Ever since that incident with the maids happened, I'd been living a quiet life.

Maybe they realized I don't mean any harm and stopped plotting against me?

That, I couldn't say; their sharp stares and persistent grumbling remained the same, though. But there were no bullying incidences against me...at least for the meantime.

Now that I think about it, I guess that happened about four days ago? Or a week?

Well, sorry about that; it seemed like I lost track of time. This world, Chersea, wasn't like where I came from—Earth. If Earth had day and night, here at Chersea, it's always light. The only actual sign of the passing of time—according to what I read in the books—was when the people themselves age, or when the climate changes, similar to the seasonal cycles back in my old world.
