Chapter 9: I’m Involved in a Supernatual Incident Again
“Brother~”
In my sleep, someone was calling me.
The only ones who call me brother are my two younger sisters.
“Brother, if you don’t get up soon, I’m going to kiss you!”
Instantly, I reflexively covered my mouth, and the next second, something soft touched the back of my hand.
I opened my eyes and saw my own cheek reflected in Keling’s dark pupils.
After failing to secretly kiss my lips, Keling tilted her head slightly, but still looked at me at an extremely close distance. Her cheeks puffed out as she spoke with some dissatisfaction.
“Mmm, why can you refuse Keling’s kiss even when you’re groggy from sleep…?”
Normally, I would have retorted and quickly pushed Keling away, but today…
My head was extremely foggy, and I couldn’t figure out where I was.
Am I at home?
Why am I… wait, I remember I should be…
“This isn’t the main estate…”
I naturally blurted this out.
“What estate? Brother, are you confused from sleep?”
No, I remember I should be going for… A strange feeling surfaced in my mind. I reached for my phone and glanced at the date.
May 7th, 6:36 AM.
Ah, isn’t today Sunday? Right, I was planning to apply for a part-time job today.
Maybe I dreamed I’d already gone for the job application… I really am sleepy.
“Get up quickly, Keling. Brother has things to do and needs to go out this morning.”
Now that I was awake, I patted Keling’s little head, telling her to move off me.
“Eh~ Brother is going out? Keling wanted to play games with Brother…”
“Like going out with friends yesterday…”
Keling pouted and buried her head in my chest, shaking it from side to side as she whined.
“But Keling still wants to be with Brother the most!”
She’s acting cute again.
“Alright, alright… Your brother isn’t going out to play, I’m going to apply for a part-time job.”
I ruffled her head again and kissed her cheek with the gentlest tone I could muster to comfort her.
“Okay, Keling, you’re a sensible good girl, you won’t get in Brother’s way, right?”
“…Hehe~”
If I say this, Keling, no matter how reluctant, will obediently listen to me. Plus, with a kiss on her cheek, it’s even more foolproof.
Before, when Keling acted cute, I was helpless and had to agree, but recently I’ve gotten a little better at knowing how to coax her.
As long as I give Keling a little “benefit,” she becomes as obedient as a kitten. ”
“Brother kissed me, I want to kiss Brother too~ muo~”
This time, I didn’t react in time, and Keling had already pressed her cherry-like lips against my cheek, sucking hard and leaving behind saliva and a kiss mark.
Just like this, if I’m not careful, this little cat will get greedy…
I quickly pulled Keling away.
“Stop messing around, Keling! I’m going to get angry!”
Of course, I was just pretending to be angry. It’s probably something that will never happen in this lifetime for me to actually get angry at Keling…
Keling knew I was only feigning anger and still hugged my neck with a happy grin, straddling my lap.
I really couldn’t do anything about her. As I lifted her off the bed, I said,
“Because I can only hug Brother three times a day, I have to fully replenish my Brother energy each time!”
This was a limit I set after the sofa incident. I told them they could only have three hugs a day to avoid too much physical contact.
But if each hug lasts this long, what’s the point of this limit… Sigh…
Keling still wouldn’t get down, her legs wrapped around my waist, pressing herself even closer, hanging onto me like a sloth.
I felt like she might get tired in this position, so I supported her hips with my hands.
“Mmm~”
Keling let out a soft moan, breathed hot air behind my ear, and hugged me tighter…
However, for some reason, even with such close contact with Keling, I didn’t feel any impure thoughts.
Not a special feeling at all.
It felt like an animal clinging to me. There was only a strange sense of peace, and no bad thoughts, so I didn’t need to silently recite any mantras.
Of course, this is a good thing. I just felt a little strange.
Could it be that I’ve never seen Keling as a woman?
Is it because of the sibling relationship?
But yesterday I was fascinated by Xinran’s feet…
Keling’s voice broke my train of thought.
“Brother, did you drink the potion Keling gave you yesterday?”
“Hmm? Ah, that potion, I haven’t drunk it yet…”
When I got home yesterday, Keling was shocked and instantly turned into a human cannonball, delivering a heavy blow to my abdomen.
Mom and Xinran seemed to have deliberately not told Keling that I was discharged from the hospital, so she was so surprised when she saw me come home.
Then she stuck by my side and gave me a bottle of green potion, saying it was a medicine she got from a friend, which could quickly heal wounds.
Of course, Keling wouldn’t harm me. I didn’t drink it because my wounds had already healed. Plus, Yu Hui applied ointment to me, removing even the scars, so I didn’t use it.
“Remember, if you get injured again, drink this medicine immediately… Ptooey, ptooey, what am I saying? Brother won’t get injured again.”
“Ah, I know. Thanks for your kindness.”
It seems to be some kind of special medicine. Since it’s so effective, I’ll keep it with me. After all, Keling specifically asked for it out of concern for me.
Later, after a rare family breakfast, I put on my shoes and headed out to the job application location.
Keling and Xinran wanted to follow me, but after much persuasion, I repeatedly emphasized that I wasn’t going out to play but to apply for a part-time job, and that if it didn’t work out, I’d come straight home. Only then did they agree to stay home. They even demanded a price. I can’t believe it took so much effort.
My two younger sisters are getting more and more clingy…
“Lord Juncheng, are you still determined to try that part-time job?”
Just a few steps after leaving, Yu Hui appeared behind me like a ghost.
“Yes, I still want to go and see.”
After all, it was a job introduced by Kaoru Tsukiyose. It would be a waste not to go. If you think there’s a problem, I’ll go apply.
“How about this? You can be the judge then. If you think there’s no problem, I’ll leave.”
I’ll turn around and leave, is that okay?
“Alright, then I’ll be the judge.”
“Yes, I trust you the most.”
I feel at ease with Yu Hui’s work. We headed to the location on the flyer together.
Then Yu Hui no longer concealed herself and followed behind me.
“As expected, there are quite a few people… They’re only hiring one person, but there are more applicants than I expected.”
Even though I knew this when I saw the mansion villa from afar earlier, there were still more applicants than I imagined.
Including me, there were about fourteen people. Their ages varied, and there were men and women of all sorts of titles, but none were particularly strange. I don’t know how many they’ll finally hire… Such a large mansion, if the garden needs to be cleaned too, I don’t think fourteen people will be enough…
No wonder the salary is so high; it turns out to be a tough job. I’m applying for this part-time job.
“Here, Yu Hui, look at so many people applying. It’s definitely not a dangerous job.”
“It’s not possible to determine yet. Further observation is needed. I will stay by your side.”
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
I walked over and joined the other applicants.
Then I caught sight of the familiar title [Pure-hearted Succubus].
“Huh? Teacher?” I trembled all over.
Called by me, she let out a cute cry, as if she had been electrocuted. I used that familiar address again, and she’ll be angry again, right?
Since I hadn’t seen Lili for a long time, I habitually used my old address when I saw her.
Sure enough, Lili turned around silently and walked away quickly with an imposing aura.
“Jun! Cheng! Didn’t I say…”
“Yes, yes, yes, sorry, sorry, I really said it out of habit…”
After a helpless sigh, Lili began to lecture me from the perspective of an elder.
“Young men who aren’t popular with girls won’t be liked, and besides…”
“Really… Jun Cheng, can’t you be more attentive… A careless impression is very important! And also… look at your collar. Since you’re here for an interview, tidy up your attire properly. First impressions…”
While tidying my collar, she started to nag incessantly.
She’s even more nagging than Mom. We’ve returned to our previous teacher-student relationship, haven’t we? It’s more like a mentor-mentee relationship. No, wait, even though she’s a teacher and I’m a student, she’s still caring for me quite a bit.
“Mmm~ I told you not to call me Teacher!”
“As long as I keep calling you Teacher, you’ll gradually build up resistance.”
“Suit yourself.”
Oh? She compromised? Did she do something to make me feel guilty? Why is she looking at me with such a guilty expression?
“By the way, this is… classmate Bai Yu Hui, right? You’re Jun Cheng’s friend, and I’ve already spoken to Yu Hui about signing a contract with the Teacher.”
Since Yu Hui is also a frequent visitor to the library, she knows the Teacher mutually. Perhaps she can see some strange magic? I wonder if Yu Hui can see Lili’s true form. She might even say something like, ‘Hoo, reveal your true form, you witch!’…
I imagined Yu Hui pointing a wooden sword at Lili and saying that.
Haha, that sounds pretty cool. Are you here for the part-time job too?”
“Yes, that’s right. We’re applying for the part-time job together. Teacher, are you here too?”
Just as Teacher was about to answer my question, a white-haired elderly man in a butler’s uniform walked out from the mansion.
[Ageless Gentleman]
[Steve Nash]
Oh, so cool. The title is also cool. Is he a professional butler? Let’s discuss the details of this cleaning job further.
“You must be the applicants for today. Please follow me inside.”
Everyone else looked at each other and then followed the butler into the gate.
“Let’s go too.”
I followed suit.
“Jun Cheng, wait for me!”
Just as I crossed the threshold, I heard Teacher Lili calling me from behind.
She placed her right hand on my left shoulder, and I turned my head… At that moment, my vision went black, as if I had anemia or had been hit. The blackening vision rushed closer and closer…
She held my body, and I couldn’t control my dizziness. The ground was almost completely lost…
What, what the hell…
I actually fainted like this. (In the innermost position), when I woke up, I saw an empty, Western-style long dining table with no food on it, only lit candlesticks emitting a faint light.
There was no one around, just deathly silence.
“What the heck is going on again…”
I rummaged through my pockets and found that my phone was gone too.
I touched my slightly throbbing head and shouted loudly.
“Yu Hui? Are you there?”
I tried calling Yu Hui’s name, but no one responded. If Yu Hui were by my side, she would appear in an instant if I called her like this.
A premonition of disaster arose in my heart. I let out a sigh and stood up from my seat. The chair under me made a clatter.
Then I immediately ran to the window and looked out. Outside the window was the mansion. Its surface was painted black, pure black.
It’s not that I can’t see anything because it’s dark. It’s more like the scene that often appears in horror novels. The chair legs were smashed by me…
I tried to open the window, but it was locked. The window seemed to be fixed to the space, unmoving.
“Damn it… So that’s why I hate supernatural stories…? This kind of weird thing… I should have listened to Yu Hui, I shouldn’t have applied for this part-time job…”
It’s haunted again!
