After talking with Marguerite, Evangeline emphasized the importance of keeping the secret.

“About Johan being immune to curses… I shouldn’t tell him either?”

[Why not?]

“Just him knowing could allow certain witches to discover it.”

Just among the witches she knew, there was the Witch of Records who recorded all things, the Witch of Dreams who wandered through people’s unconscious minds, the Witch of Fate who received revelations about what would benefit her most, and many others.

Beyond those, the world was vast and witches were numerous- who knew what unknown witch might target Johan.

“Of course, I’m invincible before my beloved apprentice, but I can’t protect Johan forever while fighting them off.”

In that sense, Marguerite discovering Johan’s secret might have been fortunate. She was the Witch of Space, unparalleled at least in escaping.

Moreover, since other witches couldn’t see her unless she chose to reveal herself, having her around meant Johan’s safety could be assured.

[…Fine. I won’t tell anyone]

“Yes! Thank you!”

[In exchange, I want to live here too]

“…Well, that’s not too difficult.”

[Thank you]

Having finished their written conversation, Marguerite turned to look at Johan’s room. A man who could see her. Probably the only one in this world. She couldn’t let him go. No matter what.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt something was off as I got up.

‘What? Why was I sleeping…’

I couldn’t remember why I was sleeping in bed or what I’d been doing before. Looking outside, the sun was just setting, so it wasn’t nighttime sleep.

“Master…?”

Carefully getting up and going to the living room, strangely Master was nowhere to be seen. While looking around the house for her, I heard splashing sounds from behind me.

Since Master rarely bathed, I felt something was odd and turned around- to see a ghost dripping wet from head to toe.

“Ah, aah- aaah-! G-ghost…!”

“…Who are you calling a ghost?”

When she pushed her wet, seaweed-like hair to the side, I realized the figure before me wasn’t a ghost but the witch who had introduced herself as Marguerite.

And the moment I recognized her─ everything that happened before I fainted came flooding back.

How she had tried to kidnap me, and how she was actually a ghost invisible even to Master.

“You ARE a ghost!”

“Didn’t I say I’m not? Why can’t you understand? Are your ears clogged?”

Want me to unclog them? She looked at me as if to say that, but I shook my head vigorously. Threats that would be scary from normal people became life-threatening when coming from a witch.

“B-but─ Master couldn’t see you…”

“Why wouldn’t she see me? I’m here because Evangeline allowed it in the first place.”

“What? Master did?”

“Yes. So what?”

Watching her tilt her head as if asking what was so strange about that, I started freezing up. Wait, what? So she wasn’t actually a ghost but a witch? And I’d been spouting nonsense about ghosts to a witch?

Realizing this, my hands and feet started trembling and cold sweat poured down. Please let this witch not have a difficult personality─.

“Ah─ also, I’m going to live here from today.”

“…What?”

“You don’t need to treat me like an honored guest, but do treat me like a guest. And don’t masturbate with my underwear.”

“…D-did you tell Master about… that?”

Gulp─ After I swallowed hard and asked, she seemed lost in thought for a moment before grinning at me as if finding something amusing.

“What do you think I did?”

As she answered my question with another question, I felt my heart stop for a moment. If she’d told Master, I was already screwed- and if she hadn’t, I was still screwed.

Now that she was living in the cabin, she could tell Master about my misdeeds anytime, couldn’t she? Though she said she didn’t need special treatment, that was just words – I now had reason to serve her like a master.

“Looking forward to our time together, cute apprentice.”

“…Lady Marguerite, then first one request.”

“What is it?”

“…Please wear clothes in the house.”

Hearing this, she laughed brightly and said no.

Another witch had joined us.

A nudist witch.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

After gaining another person to serve, my workload more than doubled.

Having one more person to serve should normally mean double the work, but Master had never really ordered me around much to begin with, while the newly arrived guest Marguerite was the type to order lots of things.

“Hey, could you bring a blanket to my room? Oh, and a pillow.”

“Cut the food into bite-sized pieces before bringing it.”

“I’ll only use these dishes I brought, so take good care of them.”

“Ah! Brew tea and bring it every two hours.”

“…Yes, understood.”

What was she, a baby? She asked me for everything from start to finish. Even the tiniest things, as if she had no hands─.

At first she even asked me to feed her directly, if that tells you anything. Thankfully Master scolded her for me when she saw that behavior.

‘Why does she make me do everything… Can’t she do anything herself?’

And─ while serving her, I discovered two things.

For some reason, Master couldn’t see her.

It seemed she wasn’t completely invisible, but Master could only vaguely tell where she was and what she was doing.

As evidence, Master paid no attention even when a freshly bathed Marguerite walked around naked dripping water everywhere.

“Johan? One more cup of this please.”

“Yes, understood.”

“─Ah, what’s this- tea? Apprentice-kun, I’d like a cup too~”

It was troublesome not knowing where to look when she proudly strutted around the house with only wet hair covering her nipples and private parts.

But if I stared at her naked form, she’d notice my gaze and come over naked, sexually harassing me with a lewd smile.

“Heh, what? Excited? Need some panties?”

“…No, I don’t need any.”

“Hm? Johan, what don’t you need?”

“Ah, I wasn’t talking to you, Master.”

And second, Master couldn’t hear her voice either.

Of course she must have had some way to communicate, but it clearly wasn’t easy. Even conveying simple messages seemed difficult, as she asked me to relay everything she wanted to say.

Thanks to this I could stop worrying about her telling Master about the masturbation incident… but being a messenger was quite annoying.

“Apprentice-kun. Let’s have meat for dinner tonight, meat.”

“…Master, Marguerite says she wants meat for dinner.”

“Tell her to grill it herself.”

“You heard her?”

“Ehh─ grilling is such a pain, could you grill it for me, apprentice-kun?”

“That’s a pain for me too.”

When I refused to grill the meat, Marguerite puffed her cheeks in displeasure and started whining.

After whining for a while, she clapped her hands as if having a good idea.

“Ah, right. If grilling is a pain, why don’t we eat out?”

“…Eat out?”

“Yeah. I know a place that grills meat deliciously. Ah, but I can’t go alone, so someone needs to come with me…”

“Where around here has places to eat…”

“Space travel is my specialty, so we can get there quickly.”

My eyes lit up at the words “eat out.” Eating out? Something I hadn’t done once since falling into this world.

I stared at Master with pitiful eyes. Having heard me and guessing what Marguerite had said, Master sighed deeply and spoke:

“Go ahead.”

“What? Master, you’re not coming?”

“I don’t like eating out.”

“Ah…”

Normally I should have said I didn’t like eating out either and would eat with Master. I knew in my head that’s what I should say, but…

This would be my first time eating out since falling into this world, and my first outing besides the village and cabin.

Living a pastoral life with a beautiful master in a forest cabin wasn’t bad, but I was a civilized person. A 21st century person who couldn’t live a day without modern conveniences.

“…I’ll be back soon.”

“…Alright.”

Leaving behind Master who looked quite disappointed, I left the cabin with Marguerite.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Though Marguerite spent most of her time nude, like how she wasn’t nude when I first met her─ she wasn’t always nude.

After quickly changing clothes, she took my hand and started concentrating.

“Um, Lady Marguerite…?”

“Quiet.”

“Ah, yes.”

While I was yawning and slacking off, not understanding what she was trying to do, I suddenly realized our surroundings had changed.

Instead of the forest cabin or the rural village with its old wooden buildings, an impressive city appeared.

“Wow…”

Though this was another world, it wasn’t much different from the European cities I’d only seen in photos and videos. Rather than feeling like I was in a fantasy world, it felt like I was traveling in Europe as I walked the streets.

“This way.”

“Ah, yes.”

After arriving in the city, Marguerite led me through the alleyways as I looked around like a country bumpkin. She moved with familiarity, as if having been here many times.

Following her, we soon came across a door. Standing before it, Marguerite gestured for me to go inside.

When I carefully opened the door at her urging, a middle-aged man washing dishes inside rolled his eyes to glare at me.

“…Welcome.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Alone?”

“Two people.”

“…Two? Well, whatever. Understood.”

Following what seemed to be the owner’s words, I sat at a table, and he stood staring blankly at me. His expression seemed to say “hurry up and order.”

‘Come on, at least give me a menu…’

Complaining internally, I asked the owner to show me a menu. The owner frowned at me as if I was talking nonsense.

“We only have one menu item here. And it’s prepaid.”

“Ah, prepaid… how much?”

“Two gold coins for two people.”

“…Two gold coins?”

I didn’t have that kind of money. When I looked at Marguerite in shock, she silently reached into empty air and pulled out two gold coins.

When I handed over the coins she gave me, the owner tilted his head but wordlessly went into the kitchen.

The sound and smell of grilling meat wafted out. Shortly after those sounds began, the owner placed two plates with steaks on the table and disappeared.

While watching the departing owner, I turned toward Marguerite who was poking me with her knife.

When I turned to her, Marguerite spoke as if asking what I was doing:

“What are you doing? Cut it.”

“…Pardon?”

“I said cut it for me.”

Really, I have to work here too?

Though I thought this, one shouldn’t upset the person paying.

Well- she even bought me meat. I should cut it for her.

“How would you like it cut?”

“…Small pieces.”

“Yes ma’am.”

I immediately cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and fed them to her. While watching her eat the meat, I started cutting and eating my own steak.

Indeed, it was an amazingly good taste worth a gold coin per plate. And─ the owner stared intently at this whole scene. By this point, I could guess why he was staring.

“Lady Marguerite.”

“What?”

“Your witch’s curse… makes you invisible to people, right?”

“…Uh, yes?”

Marguerite stared at me with a dumbfounded expression when she heard my words.

What? I’m not completely lacking in perception.

But there was one thing even I couldn’t understand.

“Why can only I see you…?”

The reason her curse didn’t work on me.

That reason alone I couldn’t understand.
