Amanda 6.2

After dinner, I washed the dishes with Corry. Since this was the first time, Corry showed me the way to the kitchen and gave me a hand. Starting from tomorrow, I had to finish all the cooking and cleaning up by myself. As I stared at the ingredients, wondering what to make in the morning, Corry handed me a notebook.

"If you feel confused, you can refer to this. The basic recipes are all in there."

I looked inside, there are lots of recipes in details.

"Wow, thank you so much. That was a big help."

During this free time, Corry showed me around.

"Why did the pavilion use this structure?"

I asked Corry.

"I don't know."

He just answered.

Another thing worth mentioning in particular is a room located on the first floor. This is the room where Fire use it to make perfume. She has her own brand of perfume, which surprised me.

After the introduction, Corry and I seperated, I went back to my room.

The room assigned to me is usually used as a guest room and is slightly more spacious than Rainbow tree's room 707. But my bed is better, bed is very important to a prostitute.

By the way, there's no time to fall asleep. I have to decide on a recipe for breakfast every day.

I jumped out of bed and opened the notebook I had borrowed from Corry. Should I make a copy?

Thanks to him, an idea came to me. But is there anything like that in the kitchen...

I left the room to make sure.

Enter the hall through the double door, I met Gilbert.

"Yo, Amanda, where are you going?"

"Going to the kitchen. I want to check if I have the ingredients necessary for breakfast tomorrow."

"That's really enthusiastic. I have something to enjoy tomorrow morning."

Gilbert went back to his room.

After that, Fire came out of the door connected to the women's bathroom. Maybe she just took a shower. She wears a bathrobe, her hair fell down on the shoulder.

"Good evening" I greeted her as I walked past her.

But the moment she passed by, she whispered something.

That's the name of the perfume I use.

I was taken aback. Not only was she able to say the name of the perfume, but also she was able to perceive that I used perfume. Because I use just a tiny amount of perfume, usually one can't tell I use the perfume.

"You noticed I use perfume!"

"Because I am familiar with cosmetics."

This may be an opportunity to approach her. It is indeed a person who has her own brand——I was just trying to praise her, Fire said:

"Your taste is good, but that's not the perfume for a maid."

"...Yes."

I won't use perfume during this time, not in this mansion.

I walked down the spiral staircase and headed for the kitchen.

The required ingredients are not out of stock, so that I can make the food I plan to make.

I'm doing a simulation of cooking the food I plan to cook, and there's a sound.

This low voice ... is Hearty. Seems to be coming from the open window.

Speaking of which, his room is directly above the kitchen, so I can hear him talking.

Although I didn't mean to overhear, I couldn't help but the sound just came in. But I can only hear some fragments.

"Today ... maid ... father ..."

He seems to be talking about me.

All that can be heard is the voice of Hearty. Is he on the phone? Or talking to himself? Or just his voice covered the other's voice?

Then came this sentence:

"Vivi, what do you think?"

I heard the word Vivi several times after that. Is it the other's name?

There is no one called Vivi in this pavilion, and there are no signs of guests. It should be a phone call.

I made this explanation, when the kitchen door was opened roughly.

I looked back in surprise, and found that World was standing at the door.

There was abnormal light in his eyes.

"So you are here, I am searching for you for half an hour."

I was shocked and asked him:

"What happened?"

"Don't play dump."

World strode closer to me, slamming his hand against the wall beside me.

"I know your true identity. What's your purpose here, say it!"

"Which real identity is it?"

Is he on drugs?

"Don't play dumb!"

He tried to catch me, but I ran away from him.

"Fuck!"

He reached out to the knife in the kitchen. Okay then, I will pull his paper clips.

"Stop!"

World stopped abruptly.

Gilbert stood at the door and said again:

"Stop it, World."

"But bro."

"Don't. Don't act rashly."

I thought he was here to save me, but he would use the word "rashly", it seems that he also knows something.

"Fine."

World left from me. On the way to the door, he looked back at me for once, his face expression shows not anger, but fear.

World left the kitchen and Gilbert came over to me.

"Are you hurt?"

"Fine, I'm nearly dead. What happened to World?"

"He's quite moody recently."

This cannot be the reason.

"Gilbert, do you know something?"

"I don't know anything. It's YOU. You should know something."

He rested his hand lightly on the wall next to me, looking directly into my eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"You have no idea what's happening?"

"No, I only met him today for the first time."

"Really? But ..."

Gilbert pulled away from me, and his voice suddenly became cheerful.

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I apologize for my brother. Speaking of it, you said you came here to confirm the ingredients?"

"Yes, I heard Hearty's phone call during the simulation exercises ..."

"Phone call? Ah, it must be our cousin. Only she will call her brother."

"Cousin?"

"Yes, the only daughter of our uncle, who lives in the north. We don't know why our cousin likes Hearty so much. Really, what's so good about a man like Hearty..."

The last sentence was like a soliloquy, but it was clear that he wanted someone to react to it.

"You should be careful. There are all sorts of things going on in this house. Well, all kinds of..."

Leaving this almost threatening lines, Gilbert left. And I also went back to my room.
