My Curse? A Different Yandere in Every Reincarnation-Chapter 99 - 3 years completed

"..." It’s been 3 years since I’ve been living in the mansion, I was able to make great repairs on the outside, and now the mansion is really good both outside and inside.

It was tiring and time-consuming, after all it was just me taking care of a gigantic mansion, so when I focused on taking care of one part, the house would end up accumulating the daily dust.

But finally, after 3 years, the mansion is totally ready, and this fills me with pride, in 3 years I who didn’t know how to do anything was able to turn a dilapidated mansion into a decent one.

I admit that it doesn’t compare to the work of a professional, but I won’t diminish myself for that, it was undoubtedly an excellent job.

And today is the "anniversary" of my arrival at the mansion, or rather the day I found the mistress as I walked through the mansion’s corridors, I even tried to find out the mistress’s birthday.

But she said it’s not important and there’s no reason to celebrate that she’s a year closer to death, a truly pessimistic view on celebrating a special date.

However, respecting her choice, I didn’t insist on it, if she doesn’t like her own birthday, I can’t do anything, she must have her reasons.

Now I’m finishing preparing a special meal to celebrate together, I’ve also learned to read more, she really started giving me lessons and it seems better every day than the previous one.

Although some nights I hear her breaking things out of frustration and muttering because something in her drawings isn’t working, but other than that, she seems fine.

Even frustrated, she always tells herself that she has enough time to fix it, so I think even frustrated with her drawings, it’s not a big problem for her.

I bring the last plate to the dining table, I’ve learned several recipes after learning to read, although there are few meals on the table, since for the mistress to eat, she has to have blood, so there’s a limit to what I can make without getting sick from lack of blood.

The mistress asked me to prepare this and wait, so I’ll just sit here waiting at the table.

She should come out of the room and come to me to celebrate soon, I wonder if she’ll give me a special gift or something like that, of course I don’t care if I’ll receive a gift or not, I just want to see her here.

"..."

"..." I wait for almost an hour, but she doesn’t show up, I just sigh looking at the cold food, anyway she has no obligation to come to me and I know that.

But I really didn’t expect that after she asked me to prepare everything, she wouldn’t even come, but I decide to keep waiting, if she doesn’t show up in the next few hours, it means she won’t come.

"Mistress?" I see her coming and it cheers me up, I thought she wouldn’t come anymore, although she’s a bit messy, her hair is a little disheveled along with her clothes a bit askew and some hickey marks on her neck.

She adjusts her clothes as she comes to me without caring about the fact that I saw how she is.

"Sorry for the delay, I was doing some things," she tells me as she fixes her hair and now seems normal again, except for the hickey marks on her neck.

’So she was with someone again...’ This is not very pleasant and I feel uncomfortable as if I’m losing her, but her life is hers, I can’t interfere with that, so I just accept it.

"Mistress, the food has cooled, is that okay? If you want, I can reheat it" I say, trying to be helpful, I don’t mind reheating all the food again if it’s for her.

"No need, I’ll eat it like this, and there’s a cake for you," she says she has something for me, which surprises me.

"A cake?" I only ate cake when my mom made it for me a long time ago.

"Yes, you don’t know how to make a cake, but you said you wanted to try it, so I got a cake for you, it’s in your room for you to eat whenever you want, I also put a present on your bed."

"A small token of gratitude for your help with the mansion, its condition is very good compared to the past, I’m satisfied with that," she says, thanking me for my service.

"That’s great, mistress!" I say with a smile, it doesn’t matter if she was late, you can see she cares just by this gesture she made.

"Mistress, can I go get it right now?" She nods her head as she sits at the table.

"But be careful, Yuki, the present is fragile, so if you’re not careful, you might end up ruining it," she says the words after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, mistress." I get up from the chair and start running to my room to see what I got, then I’ll come back to the mistress and thank her.

Running through the mansion’s corridors and entering my room, I find the cake, it’s nothing special, just a relatively simple cake with some kind of frosting and the size of a small to medium tray.

But for me it’s a complete novelty, next to the cake there are two things, a box, a letter, and a cage with a baby raven.

"...Two? But she said it was a present..." I go to the bed and pick up the letter, reading what is written using what I learned in the last year.

[Ravens are loyal, they are smart animals that know how to keep memories, if well-trained, they will attach to you strongly and will be united with you as if they were family, a loyal and smart pet that will be with you as if they were part of the family.

Surprise gift, a surprise, there’s no way to know what’s inside because life is unpredictable, so it’s just a surprise gift.

Ps: Choose only one and discard the other, if you choose the raven chick, you should throw the surprise gift box out the window and not open it, but if you choose the gift box, you should kill the raven.

It’s your choice, but you’ll only be able to keep one, so choose wisely, knowing that you’ll never be able to have the other, be responsible and I hope you like the gift.]

Without thinking twice, I throw the present out the window, I don’t need a material item compared to the life of this raven chick, if the mistress gave it to me, it must have some meaning.

I don’t need to know what was in the box, the raven baby seems like a much cooler gift, I hold the cage and see the little raven looking at me, as if it knows it was almost discarded.

"Hello, little one... your name will be Shi." I immediately give a name to the raven chick as I open the cage and hold it carefully, the little raven snuggles into my hand.

’This is really cool.’ Maybe the mistress gave it to me as company, since I spend a lot of time alone doing chores, she also said about training it, so I can teach it to help me with small things.

"I’ll eat the cake later, I need to go thank the mistress for the present and tell her I chose the raven." I carefully place the raven on my shoulder and walk carefully and calmly so it doesn’t fall.

The raven, which already shows itself to be quite intelligent, clings to my clothes as I go to the mistress.

"What do ravens eat... I think maybe fruit seeds might work? I have to ask the mistress... or maybe I should give it small garden insects?" I continue thinking about what to feed the little one.

Arriving at the living room, I see the mistress eating her food, several of the dishes have been tasted a little as a sign that she tried them, even though she never eats much.

"Mistress, I chose the raven!" I say as I take the raven off my shoulder and place it on the table.

"...Good choice, you didn’t look at what was in the other present, did you?" She questions after taking a bite of the food, as if she trusts that I won’t lie.

"No, I threw it out the window."

"Do you want to know what was in it?"

"...No, mistress, I don’t think I need to know." If I was supposed to know, she wouldn’t have told me to throw it away, I see a slight smile appear on her face, I think I made the right choice.

"You’ve grown a lot, Yuki, that reminds me I don’t know your age."

"I’m 17, mistress."

"17? I thought when you arrived you were 13... so you were a little older." The mistress seems strange when mentioning my age.

"Is there a problem, mistress?"

"...I don’t think so." She puts her utensils on the table, gets up, and leaves. I’m left without understanding anything, why the topic of me getting older made her agitated, and the look she gave me seemed like the one she had before.

As if I were some kind of enemy or traitor who’s going to stab her in the back.

"...Haaa." I sigh, I guess there’s not much I can do, since there’s a lot of food here, I see the things that would have the least problems and give them to the raven chick to eat.

"I think she needs some time..." I decide to leave it at that, it wasn’t a bad day, I got a present and saw her without a book in her hand, a truly remarkable occasion.

Normally she would always have the book in her hand and barely pay attention to me, but now, in addition to paying attention, she gave me a present, we may not have talked much, but it was good anyway.
