I roughly scribbled the year. Troubled by my own date of birth, I filled in the blank, saying, âI donât know.â
âIf I fail because of this birthday dilemma⊠Iâll have to think about how I can hit Handel lightly.â
After overcoming the mishap over my birthday, the rest of the process went rather smoothly. It felt easy to do since Iâve written a resume before.
In addition, Iâm writing a resume that Iâm submitting to myself.
Which is whyâŠ
âNo one will know even if I clumsily filled up the resume.â
I muttered lightly and filled in the rest of the blanks. At the end of the application form was a rather unusual column. It was asking for my motivation for applying. Itâs unbelievable that an application form would ask such a thing. My reason was questionable, but I didnât think too much about it and just roughly wrote it down.
Finally, I completed my resume. It was too empty to be a resume, but what can I do?
I took the stamp I received from Reden without hesitation and stamped it.
The resume, which had the Blair Family seal stamped on it, gave me a sense of satisfaction. I laughed.
âIâve finally become a maid!â
Unconsciously, I screamed out of happiness. Well, I wasnât quite sure about that yet because of the whole birthday mix up, but I decided to enjoy what Iâve accomplished.
Soon enough, I calmed down and stood in front of the mirror.
My swollen cheeks now turned purple. It was great that Catherine didnât say anything about it, even though it was such a mess.

The thought made me a little bitter. I shook my head. Anyway, letâs just lightly slap my cheek. Come to think of it, there was no reason for me to hit myself too hard.
I slapped my cheek as a test run. Immediately, the stabbing pain on the bruise spread further. I reflexively spat out the sound of pain.
Ping!
Error
âDoes Not Count As A Hit.â
As expected, this wonât be easy.
If this was not considered a hit, then⊠As expected, I was meant to hit hardâŠ
Handel picked up a box of medication and headed for the bedroom of the lady that she served. However, she was stopped by a strange sound that came from behind the door.
âWhat is this? What was that sound?â
Before she could even calm herself down from shock, she tried to quickly knock on the door as she was worried about the lady in the room. If it werenât for the sound that followed.
âI succeeded! I succeeded! Hahahaha! Thatâs right. No matter how crazy the contents of the missions window is, itâs nothing compared to my wits! I was so worried about my birthday, but I got lucky!â

âMichelle Window? Whose name is that?â
[Tl: hilarious, she thought the âmission windowâ was a name]
Handel was quite shocked when she realized that the strange sound was nothing other than the laughter of the lady.
Her face turned white. She hesitated to knock on the door. She wasnât quite sure if she could do it or not.
âMy, of course, she has become quite gentle recentlyâŠâ
Handel, who used to be beaten all the time, reflected on what she felt over the past week.
It was a week ago.
Handel, who was in charge of breakfast for the time being under the direction of the maid Susan.
Handel was slapped in the cheek by the girl who seemed to be in an incredibly terrible mood that day. She wanted to quit, but she couldnât because she needed to send money to her home every month.
If the lady was sick and just didnât have the energy to hit her that day, then she may do it again once she regains good health.
However, her suspicions were fortunately incorrect. The lady who had gotten out of her sickbed did not slap her again today.
âDonât say that, Handel. Why should I hurt you?â
The Lady even called her name tenderly. But Handel knew because she wasnât a fool.
It has only been a few days, she shouldnât be complacent.

If someone suddenly becomes soft, canât they also turn toxic at any time?
âHahahahahahahaâ.
âIâm scared. You appear to be in a good mood whenever you smile. But if I knock and offend you somehowâŠâ
Just the thought of it gave her goosebumps. However, Handel could not choose to turn back now.
She looked down at the medicine box in her hand and recalled an event that happened a while ago.
âYou there.â
âYes? Ack- greetings, sire!â
âYou were the one that found that kid collapsed on the floor last time.â
âOh, yes, yes sir!â
âTake this and put some medicine on her face.â
âAh? Oh, yes, yes sir, definitely!â
âDonât say that I ordered it.â
Yes. The medicine box she was holding was handed to her by none other than the owner of the mansion himself.
He ordered her to apply the medicine herself.
Therefore, Handel couldnât turn back. She eventually knocked with tears in her eyes.
She felt as if the loud knocking sounds clenched her heart. Handel waited anxiously for words to come from the other side.
However, she heard something else rather than scolding.
Clank.
âUh, Handel. Whatâs going on?â
Frightened, Handel took a step back. She didnât know that the Lady would open the door and welcome her.
âNo, thatâs not what IâŠâŠ.â
âWhatâs in your hand?ââ
âThis, Oh, the medicine box. Iâm going to put ointment on your cheek. â
Handel stuttered and panicked.
Her unusual hair color was a mixture of pink and scarlet red. She had jewel-like eyes, fair skin and a smooth face.
Handel thought she was beautiful when she first entered this mansion.
The idea soon fell apart due to her infamous attitude. Her heart and body trembled even at the mention of her name. Handel could never predict whether she would get hit or kicked whenever she served her.
This convinced Handel that she would never consider her beautiful again.
âHoweverâŠâ
âReally? Youâll put ointment on my cheek? How did you come up with such a cute gesture? Come on in. Huh? Why is your face so pale? Are you sick, Handel?â
âWhy do I find you so beautiful today?â
Light peered through the open door and brightened the ladyâs back. It was blinding. The light touched her unusual hair and it shone brightly, almost transparent.
The lady was certainly beautiful. She looked so pure in her eyes.
But there was something else.
âYouâve changed.â
She held Handelâs hand gently. It was her second time today. The warmth permeated skin.

This was also very strange. Her hands were always as cold as ice.
She pulled Handel. Naturally, Handel entered the open door.
As Handel entered the bright room, she took a slow but prominent step forward. She made a new conviction.
Over the past several hours, I have been able to spend my day peacefully.
Becoming a maid by writing an application was a success!
I remembered when I succeeded in completing the mission for the first time, and I burst out laughing. Oh, I was so happy that I couldnât hold it in.
Suddenly, I remembered how boisterously I laughed that time and my smile washed away.
âItâs a relief that no one saw me then.â
Anyway, there were a few things that I learned in the past week.
-First, if you reject all three missions, I will receive a penalty. I donât know if the penalty would be the same as before because I havenât had a penalty since the first one.
-Second, if I complete the first mission, I donât need to do the second or third mission.
Last week, I only succeeded in the âSlap a Maidâs Face Missionâ because I was running out of time. Still, I didnât receive a penalty for not doing any of the other missions.
The rest of the day would be easy as long as the difficulty of the mission is lowered.
Iâve decided to only complete missions related to maids!
When I didnât receive any maid-related missions, the tasks were usually about stealing something. It was easy enough. Plus, I was lucky enough to get a maid-related mission last week.
Of course, I canât deny that Iâm happy that my cheeks would be spared from the pain.
âHa, this mission window is ruined.â
I cursed mentally and tapped the gold coins rolling around on the desk.
-The third thing I found out was that if I accepted a mission, then the window would disappear. But when I ignore the mission window, itâll disappear for a moment but keep re-appearing.
It seems that it refuses to leave me alone without accepting or rejecting a mission.
-The fourth, but also the most important, the moment that a mission is successfully completed, I receive money as a reward.
The gold coins that are piled up on the desk are the evidence.
