My Maid is Cute Chapter 79 : A Happy Day (Patreon)

*A Happy Day*

Months flowed by, and finally, the exams at the Magic Academy ended, sending the students into a short break.

Wendy was finally coming back to the mansion. On the day of her return, Rebecca worked restlessly from the morning.

"Rebecca, I understand your feelings, but please calm down a little."

She fidgeted and checked the clock so often that Carrie had to warn her.

"I-I'm sorry..."

When Rebecca apologized in a panic, Carrie smiled wryly.

"Come on, we have to prepare to welcome Milady."

"Yes!"

Spurred by Carrie's words, she moved her hands with enthusiasm. With Wendy coming home, it felt as though not just Rebecca, but the entire mansion was brighter. Since Wendy was coming back immediately after the exams ended, her arrival was expected in the evening. Rebecca was looking forward to it so much that she couldn't concentrate on work at all that day.

Eventually, the head maid's voice echoed loudly.

"Rebecca! She has arrived!"

At that voice, Rebecca jumped up instantly and headed straight for the hall.

Arriving at the hall, the maids and servants were already lined up in a row. Rebecca hurriedly joined them. As she turned her gaze toward the door leading outside, it opened immediately.

"Welcome home, Milady."

The servants bowed their heads in unison. Rebecca tried to bow too, but...

"...Ah."

Her movement stopped involuntarily.

Beyond the door, Wendy stood.

Her appearance was hardly different from Rebecca's memories. But,

—Beautiful.

Forgetting to bow, she stared blankly. Pale red cheeks on skin like snow, hair like golden threads adorned with a madder-red ribbon, and her slender body wrapped in an elegant dress. It was a beauty not of this world, like a goddess.

—Not just beautiful, divine...

Her jewel-like green eyes looked around as if searching for someone. Immediately, her eyes met Rebecca's.

"Becca!"

Wendy ran up quickly and hugged Rebecca with great force.

"Wah."

She almost fell backward but managed to hold her ground.

"Becca...! I'm finally back! I'm home, Becca!!"

"W-Welcome home, Milady."

Rebecca timidly wrapped her arms around Wendy's back. They hugged for a while, but eventually satisfied, Wendy pulled away, looked at Rebecca's face, and smiled brightly.

"Have you been well, Becca?"

"Y-Yes. I-I was well..."

Making direct eye contact with Wendy, Rebecca answered fidgety.

—Why? Even though I was looking forward to meeting Wendy so much.

Just seeing her face made her itch, and her face grew hot. It felt as if the blood in her whole body was boiling.

Rebecca lowered her face involuntarily, looking away from Wendy. Wendy peered into Rebecca's face with a puzzled expression.

"Becca...?"

At that moment, someone called out to Wendy.

"Welcome home, Wendy."

It was Christopher who had arrived. Instantly, Wendy's face turned ice-cold. She stood up straight and bowed deeply.

"I have returned."

At that chilly voice, Christopher smiled wryly.

"Welcome home. Everyone was waiting for you."

From behind Christopher, Lisette appeared with a smile, and Wendy's expression softened slightly.

"Sister-in-law, I have returned. And... congratulations."

"Congratulations" was likely a celebratory word for Lisette's pregnancy. Lisette broke into a happy smile.

"Well then, come to the dining room. You must be tired? We'll have a meal prepared..."

At Christopher's words, Wendy nodded but immediately grasped Rebecca's hand.

"I will return to my room first. After resting a little, I will go..."

Christopher nodded without seeming particularly bothered.

"Ah. See you later then."

Wendy nodded too, then headed to her private room, pulling Rebecca by the hand.

***

Upon entering Wendy's room, Wendy hugged Rebecca again immediately.

"U-Um, Milady..."

"Just a little longer."

Still hugging Rebecca, Wendy spoke in a small voice.

"Let me stay like this a little longer..."

Feeling a choking sensation in her chest at that voice, Rebecca moved her hands hesitantly, then patted Wendy's back gently.

Wendy chuckled and finally released Rebecca.

"Let me see your face, Becca."

Smiling happily, Wendy held Rebecca's cheeks between her hands and gazed at her. Meeting Wendy's beautiful face directly, Rebecca stiffened.

"Thank goodness, you haven't changed..."

"F-Fyes..."

Turning rigid, Rebecca gave a strange answer. Then, suddenly, Wendy brought her face close. Before she could react, Wendy pressed her lips against Rebecca's forehead.

A light smooch sound was made, and Rebecca opened her eyes wide. Then, she pulled away from Wendy as if jumping up in a panic.

"Wh-wh-wha...! Milady!!"

Seeing that reaction, Wendy giggled and continued.

"Becca, you're cute as always."

"C-Cu... C-Cute...!"

At Wendy's words, Rebecca's face turned bright red. Ignoring Rebecca's state, Wendy leaned in close, crouched down right there, and took Rebecca's hands.

"Hey, Becca. Tomorrow, I want to go out with you."

"G-Go out...?"

"Yeah. Since it's a precious holiday, I want to go out together... Can't I?"

Wendy held Rebecca's hands and looked up at her with pleading eyes. Stared at by those beautiful green eyes, Rebecca flustered and then nodded weakly.

"Understood..."

At Rebecca's answer, Wendy stood up with a satisfied face.

"Then, tomorrow. Don't forget."

"Yes..."

When Rebecca nodded, Wendy smiled brightly.

***

"Uaaaahhhhh~"

Returning from Wendy's room, Rebecca collapsed face-down on the table without touching her dinner, groaning. Carrie and Jeanne, who had returned from the academy with Wendy, looked at Rebecca with puzzled expressions.

"Rebecca, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..."

To Carrie's question, Rebecca answered briefly, keeping her face down.

She couldn't possibly say she was writhing in agony because she was kissed by Wendy. No, she had been kissed affectionately several times before. But this was the first time she received a kiss after realizing her own romantic feelings. She was dominated by indescribable feelings—happy, painful, embarrassed.

"Uwaaaahhhhh~"

Rebecca let out a strange scream again.

"So, what on earth is it!?"

Carrie's baffled voice echoed.

***

The next day, having received a day off from the head maid, Rebecca prepared to go out and left her private room.

"...Alright!"

Pumping herself up, she headed to Wendy's room.

"Stay calm, respond composedly..."

Walking down the hallway while muttering to herself. Eventually, she arrived at Wendy's room.

Knocking lightly on the door knock-knock, Wendy's voice returned immediately.

"Yes, come in."

Taking a deep breath once, she opened the door.

"Excuse me."

Opening the door, Wendy was already dressed in her outing clothes. For some reason, a bouquet of flowers was placed on the room's table. As she stared at the bouquet with a tilted head, Wendy called out.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes."

Rebecca hurriedly shifted her gaze to Wendy and nodded.

"Then, shall we go?"

Wendy threw on a plain-colored robe and pulled the hood over to hide her face. As Rebecca stared at her appearance wonderingly, Wendy smiled lightly.

"We're going a little far... I want to avoid standing out."

"Where are we going?"

To Rebecca's question, Wendy smiled wryly and didn't answer. Picking up the bouquet on the table, she spoke.

"The carriage and guards are waiting. Let's go, Becca."

She took Rebecca's hand and stepped out of the room.

***

Inside the carriage they boarded, Rebecca tilted her head. Wendy wouldn't tell her where they were going. The biggest mystery was the bouquet held in Wendy's hand. Why had she prepared this bouquet?

She asked several times, but Wendy only smiled vaguely and didn't answer.

Eventually, the carriage seemed to arrive at its destination and stopped.

"...We're here."

Wendy said as if whispering and stood up. Then, with the help of a guard, she got out of the carriage.

"This place is..."

Getting off the carriage after Wendy, Rebecca looked over the scenery spread before her eyes. Rebecca had seen this scenery before. And recognizing it, she simultaneously understood why Wendy had brought the bouquet.

This was the village where Heidi Annette and Paule Annette lived.

"You wait here. I want to go just the two of us."

Wendy ordered the guard. The guard seemed hesitant, but,

"It's just right there. I'll call if anything happens."

When Wendy said that, he nodded as if giving up.

"Becca, let's go."

At Wendy's voice, Rebecca answered in a small voice.

"Yes."

Wendy nodded slightly too, took Rebecca's hand, and started walking.

Together, they walked quietly through the village. The villagers looked at them curiously but didn't call out. Relieved by that, they passed through the village. Proceeding deeper, eventually, a large lake came into view. There was no one around, and the lake's surface shone silver.

"...Milady."

"Yeah."

When Rebecca spoke, Wendy replied softly and placed the bouquet she brought on the ground. Then she knelt down and offered a prayer.

Rebecca also knelt beside Wendy and clasped her hands in the same way. Keeping her face down and eyes closed, she prayed for Heidi and Paule.

Eventually, Wendy opened her eyes and slowly separated her clasped hands. Then she spoke to Rebecca.

"Thank you for coming here with me, Becca."

Rebecca shook her head slightly.

"No... Milady, um... is this your first time coming here?"

Rebecca thought Wendy didn't know the details about the "curse." But judging from Wendy's demeanor, it seemed she already knew.

Wendy quietly looked down and replied.

"It's not my first time. I was told about it about two years ago. Since then, I've come here several times."

Then, raising her face, she looked far out over the vast lake and continued.

"This is about all I can do... but I thought I would come here with you someday..."

Her eyes wavered with a mixture of emotions. Rebecca gently held Wendy's hand.

"Milady..."

Wendy squeezed Rebecca's hand back and exhaled deeply.

"...Becca. Will you come here with me again?"

At those words, Rebecca nodded greatly.

"Yes... if you wish it, Milady..."

When she said that, Wendy met Rebecca's eyes as if relieved and smiled slightly.

***

They returned to the carriage soon after, but both remained silent for a while.

Wendy finally opened her mouth when the carriage entered the city.

"...Hey, want to take a walk?"

At that invitation, Rebecca immediately replied,

"Yes."

Hearing that answer, Wendy stopped the carriage immediately. Getting off the carriage quickly, she ordered the accompanying guard to walk at a distance. Then, Wendy held hands with Rebecca and started walking slowly.

Soon after they started walking, Wendy spoke in a small voice.

"Um, ...Becca."

"Yes?"

When Rebecca looked up at Wendy, Wendy hesitated, then continued.

"Um... Becca, did you not want to see me?"

"Eh!?"

At the unexpected question, Rebecca was shocked. Wendy continued, unusually timid.

"S-Somehow, I felt like you were acting strange since we reunited... I wanted to see you very, very much, but I wondered if maybe you didn't feel the same..."

"That's not true!!"

When she shouted loudly without thinking, she saw Wendy flinch. Rebecca hurriedly added.

"Uh, um... No. I'm sorry. Meeting Milady after so long... um, I think I got nervous?"

Mumbling that, she looked straight at Wendy.

"I am happy to see you. I was unbearably lonely. I wanted to see you forever and ever, Milady."

When she said that firmly, Wendy finally looked relieved.

"Thank goodness... I was very lonely too. I missed you..."

Meeting Wendy's eyes, they smiled at each other. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she felt as if her chest was full.

From there, they walked through the city talking about various things.

Rebecca talked about events at the mansion and her work. Wendy listened to Rebecca's stories happily with a smile.

"Ah."

Suddenly, Rebecca noticed a familiar scenery and raised her voice.

"What's wrong?"

Rebecca pointed to a park a little distance away.

"Um, this is the park where I reunited with you, isn't it, Milady."

When Rebecca said that, Wendy nodded.

"Yes, that's right..."

The scene of that day revived in her mind. While staring blankly toward the park, Wendy spoke to her.

"Want to go see?"

Thinking a little, Rebecca shook her head.

"No..."

Suddenly, Rebecca turned her face to Wendy and asked.

"By the way, do you go to that park often, Milady?"

"Yes. Only sometimes, though. Because it's a place of precious memories with you."

"Oh, i-is that so..."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Rebecca let her eyes swim. Seeing such a Rebecca, Wendy smiled wryly, turned her gaze toward the park again, and opened her mouth.

"While you were gone, I came here when I couldn't bear the loneliness. Although that beautiful flowering tree is gone now..."

"Ah..."

Come to think of it, Rebecca recalled. The beautiful flowering tree she once saw with Wendy had been cut down at some point; only a stump remained now.

Wendy continued with a sad face.

"That tree, you see, stopped blooming at some point... Maybe it was sick. It seems the park keeper cut it down."

"Is that, so..."

Thinking that she could no longer see those beautiful flowers, Rebecca felt sadness anew and looked down.

Seeing Rebecca like that, Wendy hurriedly crouched down and raised her voice.

"Becca, listen, there's a delicious cake shop. Let's go together. Also... um, let's stop by a bookstore and buy books you like, Becca!"

Cheered by Wendy's voice, her mood lifted a little. When Rebecca nodded slightly and smiled, Wendy smiled back as if relieved.

"Well then, shall we go?"

"Yes."

Holding hands again, the two started walking.

Wendy guided her to a small cafe-like shop. Entering the shop together, they ordered small cakes. Just as Wendy said, the cake was delicious, and the tea ordered with it was exquisite.

There were few customers inside, but most of them were captivated by the beauty of Wendy, who had lowered her hood to eat cake.

"You knew such a wonderful shop, Milady."

"Hmm? Well, yes. Sister-in-law Lisette told me about it."

"Ah... Lady Lisette..."

Come to think of it, Wendy currently had a bad relationship with Christopher, but seemed to have built a good relationship with Lisette. It seemed the naturally laid-back and big-hearted Lisette was communicating well even with the difficult Wendy.

"...Looking forward to the baby, aren't you?"

When Rebecca muttered quietly, Wendy's hand eating the cake stopped abruptly. Then, just a single word,

"...I suppose."

She replied.

***

After leaving the cake shop, the two headed to a bookstore. While Rebecca leisurely looked at the bookshelves, Wendy walked around the bookstore in circles, buying more than ten books here and there.

"Do you still like adventure novels as always, Milady?"

When Rebecca asked, Wendy answered with a smile.

"Yes. But I read anything. Pure literature, mystery, fantasy, even romance. What do you like, Becca?"

"I read various books too... Ah, this is my absolute favorite."

Rebecca took one book from the shelf and showed the cover to Wendy. Wendy opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"You like 'Love Smiles in the Night Sky'? Unexpected..."

Because Wendy said almost the same thing as Christopher, Rebecca laughed unintentionally.

"I borrowed it from your library and read it. It was such a wonderful novel... I read it over and over again."

Wendy took the book from Rebecca's hand with a wry smile.

"Then, let's buy this too. So Becca can read it anytime."

"Ah, Milady, I'll buy it myself!"

"It's fine. I want to give it to you as a present, Becca."

Rebecca refused many times, but in the end, Wendy bought a copy of 'Love Smiles in the Night Sky'.

"Milady. Thank you very much..."

In the carriage on the way back, Rebecca thanked her repeatedly.

"Somehow, I'm sorry. I'm always just receiving things from you..."

Just as Rebecca thought, Come to think of it, I have to give her the bracelet I made, suddenly Wendy brought her face close.

"Hey, so..."

"Yes?"

Because a beautiful face suddenly approached, Rebecca was flustered, and Wendy whispered in her ear.

"I have a request for you, Becca. Will you listen...?"

"Y-Yes! Anything I can do!!"

"Only Becca can do it."

A glint shone deep in Wendy's eyes. Unaware of it, Rebecca continued.

"Understood! What should I do?"

"I'll tell you when we get back to the mansion."

Just as Wendy said that looking happy, the sound of pitter-patter drops was heard. It seemed it had started to rain.

"...Oh my, it's raining."

At first, it was a small rain invisible to the eye, but by the time they arrived at the mansion, it was pouring down with intense force zaa-zaa.

Since they hadn't brought umbrellas, they rushed into the mansion but got a little wet.

"Oh my, oh my, welcome back."

Several maids ran up. They handed over fluffy towels, so Rebecca and Wendy wiped their bodies respectively.

"I'm going to change just like this. Becca, help me."

"Eh? Ah, yes."

Wendy headed straight to her private room. Bowing lightly to the maids, Rebecca followed noisily.

Thinking she had to change after helping Wendy, she entered Wendy's room.

Wendy locked the door to her private room and glanced at the bathroom. Crouching down right there, she met Rebecca's eyes straight on.

"Becca, you said you'd do anything, right?"

"Huh?"

Staring at the blank-faced Rebecca, Wendy smiled brightly.

***

"M-M-Milady! P-P-Please calm down!! Um, really, really, i-i-impossible!!!"

"You're the one who needs to calm down."

To Wendy, who replied calmly, Rebecca screamed.

"It's impossible!! Taking a bath together!!!"

Yes, Wendy's "request" was to take a bath together.

Rebecca shook her head vigorously bun-bun showing strong refusal. Wendy voiced her displeasure like she was sulking.

"You said you'd do anything, right? The hot water is ready now. So let's get in?"

"B-But..."

"Becca."

"..."

In front of Rebecca, who was stuck for words, Wendy looked up at her again with pleading eyes.

"Becca... please."

"Uugh..."

That face is unfair.

"That face is unfaaair..."

Her true feelings leaked out unintentionally.

Wendy laughed happily and stood up.

"Then, I'll be waiting inside. Hurry up or you'll catch a cold."

"..."

Unable to reply anymore, Rebecca saw Wendy off as she entered the bathroom.

***

In the end, Rebecca was weak to pressure. Giving in to Wendy's pleading "request," Rebecca opened the bathroom door after agonizing over it thoroughly.

"E-Excuse me."

"Yeah."

Stepping into the bathroom, Wendy was already in the ceramic tub with gold claw feet. Seeing Rebecca enter, she smiled happily.

She couldn't see well from the entrance, but naturally, Wendy was naked.

Seeing the whiteness of Wendy's skin, her whole body froze for a moment. However,

"Come on, Becca, hurry."

Being told that, Rebecca took off her clothes with trembling hands. She felt Wendy's intense gaze the whole time.

She washed quickly, hiding her body as much as possible. And finally,

"Becca. Come here."

Wendy smiled invitingly. Unlike usual, that figure was somewhat bewitching and alluring.

"U-Uugh..."

She felt dizzy even though she hadn't soaked in the hot water yet. She knew clearly herself that her heart was pounding loudly. Gulping, Rebecca fearfully put her leg into the tub.

"Mmh-hm."

Wendy smiled happily.

—Wow, beautiful.

Wendy's body should be immature as a woman, but it was white and dazzling, like a work of art made by God. Feeling like her palpitations would intensify just by looking, Rebecca hurriedly looked away from Wendy. Avoiding looking at Wendy as much as possible, she entered the hot water.

Although it was a wide bath, it was naturally cramped with two people. When Rebecca, soaking in the hot water, sat down fidgeting, Wendy moved her body and hugged Rebecca from behind as if holding her.

"Fuwah!? Milady!?"

"Mmh-hm, hehe."

Skin wearing nothing pressed against each other. Ignoring the agitated Rebecca, Wendy simply touched her body while laughing. Gently, lovingly, she stroked Rebecca's whole body.

"Ah... ah..."

A strange voice leaked from her own mouth, and Rebecca covered her mouth with her hand. Seeing that, Wendy looked even more amused.

"...Ugh."

It felt as if her body were melting and flowing like honey. Long fingers crawled over Rebecca's abdomen, back, and thighs.

—Ah, this is bad.

The hot water splashed chapuri. Something soft hit her back, and her shoulders trembled bikuri. Her head felt fluffy, and her thoughts were becoming disordered.

—Bad. I'm feeling weird.

It was embarrassingly hopeless, yet she was filled with happiness, and it felt good. It was like being in a dream world.

Just as Rebecca, whose brain was dominated by euphoria, bit her lip unintentionally, Wendy suddenly spoke.

"Today was fun, wasn't it?"

"Heh... ah, yes, it was...?"

She answered Wendy's words, but her consciousness was already terribly lax. She turned her gaze toward Wendy in a daze. Wendy's face was also flushed, and her green eyes were sparkling.

Seeing that, Rebecca swallowed saliva unknowingly.

"Thank you, Becca... I'm so happy... I want to stay like this forever."

"Th... thank you...?"

"Hey... just a little more."

"Huh?"

"Just a little more... I want it."

"Yes...?"

As she replied without understanding, suddenly Wendy licked Rebecca's ear.

"Wahya!"

A slimy sensation sent a shiver down her spine, and Rebecca, coming back to her senses, pulled away from Wendy.

"Wha-what are you doing!?"

Without answering Rebecca, Wendy let out an amused voice.

"Mmh-hm, your ears are weak after all."

"M-Milady!!"

Just as she tried to stand up unintentionally, Rebecca lost her balance and fell over. She plunged headfirst into the hot water.

"Ah, Becca—"

Simultaneously with Wendy's cry, a splash zaban! rose up.

—Huh? It doesn't hurt much.

When she realized, there was something in front of her eyes. A very white, warm, and fluffy sensation. Two soft mounds were enveloping Rebecca's face.

—Eh, this is...

Her brain recognized the identity of those mounds, and her breath stopped. A silence like the end of the world dominated the place.

Rebecca had plunged her face into Wendy's chest.

"...Becca."

Wendy called her name with a troubled voice. At the same time,

"U-Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

Rebecca's scream echoed through the bathroom.

***

This was the bath episode I personally absolutely intended to write. It was fun...
