Chapter 24.1

you’ve been fired for running away without permission from your job at !

※caution ※ former employer ‘lirina abina’ is looking for you because you left your place of employment without permission.

pioneer your new path!

a. guest of ‘valérez toledo’

b. ‘lirina abina’s fugitive maid (a hunter may follow you)

c. beggar

d. saint (this is a locked choice)

as soon as i woke up after a good sleep in the room ares gave me, a system window flashed in front of me. i laughed at the new job quest.

‘why does it keep on giving me a career option of being a ‘beggar’?’

i was offended because it seemed like the system really wanted me to become a beggar.

‘i can’t be chased by a hunter…’ i thought.

i chose the best option, the valérez guest.

you still have no guts, and chose the shameless path.

occupation: guest

level: 1

※ job-related rewards increase food intake by 10.

‘yes! finally, i’m free from being a maid…!’

although it was an ambiguous status as a guest of the mansion owner, not a vip, but it was better than a maid anyway. i checked that the door was closed well and danced the samba in excitement.

duty of guest ~ those who don’t work, don’t eat! ~

following the diligent k-people, you can’t just think of playing and eating as a guest.

take care of the chores in the valérez mansion.

chores 0/100

reward: 20 fame, 20 stamina, 30 charm

i, who was excitedly playing with my hands and feet, sighed at the sight of the window system.

‘oh, it’s trying to get me to work without missing a moment…’

i knew very well that the production company was korean. no, i mean stop! i was momentarily stunned and burst into tears, but when i looked closely, the reward was actually pretty good.

‘all i have to do is work, but it’s not too bad if my fame, stamina, and charm go up this much.’

there was no penalty for failure too, and i accepted the sub-quest and left the room stretching.

“oh, you are up already. do you want me to get you some water for washing?”

“ah, it’s all right.”

how do you receive water for washing your face as a guest? i actually wanted to accept her offer, but i didn’t know what penalty the system might force me to be modest. i answered that i’d wash my face on my own, and then i grabbed the maid as she was about to walk away.

“hey, is there anything i can do to help?”

“is there anything you can do to help?”

at my question, the maid’s face blurred with an embarrassing glow. i knew very well what her expression meant. i always had that face when jian offered to help me.

“i think you misunderstand, but i am not a lady from a noble family, but was originally a maid.”

in fact, it was true that i was a noble lady, but the maid’s eyes widened when i said something that was only half the truth.

“oh, really?”

“yes,” i replied with a smile, “i owe this mansion for a while due to some unfortunate circumstances, but i’m so sorry to be only eating, so please leave me with a few chores.”

in other words, i had to do chores to complete the quest.

i gathered my hands and looked at her eagerly, the maid shuddered! and then she punched her hand into her palm.

“oh! then can i ask you to do the laundry? today is the day that the house takes care of the laundry.”

“sure! i’m very good at laundry!”

i am edith.

she was a former young lady, and a maid level of 15 – up until recently.

“that’s great! then i’ll show you the laundry.”

“yes!”

i followed the maid with confidence, rolling up my sleeves and exposing my boney forearms.

‘hmm. as expected, maybe labor is right for me.’

i hate to admit it, but doing simple labor cleared up my complicated thoughts and put my mind at ease. i think now i understand why exercise addicts run to the gym whenever they have a hard time.

‘it seems like the mind doesn’t remember it’s tired when the body is tired.’

slap slap

entering a tub-sized laundry bin, i stepped on the laundry one foot at a time. it didn’t feel bad that the white soap bubble was escaping between my bare toes. watching the dark stain disappear little by little.
