Chapter 1: The Maid’s Training Begins

Four years later.

Three years until the protagonist joins the party.

Four years until the protagonist is kicked out of Morning Star.

Four and a half years until Will Hysterm meets his end under a giant slime.

It was a fresh morning, with birds chirping and flowers blooming.

“How are you feeling?”

“Huff… huff… I’m fine… I can keep going… Please, Young Master… make it harder!”

“Not bad. You lasted three more minutes today.”

“Yes… yes!! I… ha… I can still go on…”

Although the conversation sounded suspicious, it was just Eir undergoing a “training session” in a sauna specially designed by Will.

Will glanced at the temperature gauge outside the sauna, nodding in satisfaction before flipping the switch to turn it off.

“500 degrees already? An A3-ranked Holy Shield Knight can only withstand 400 degrees. Too bad Eir isn’t old enough to take the ranking test yet.”

The Eir of today was a far cry from the timid, frail maid described in the original story—a mere B3-ranked Holy Shield Knight who always hid behind others.

No, she wasn’t just different; she was leagues ahead. Had her potential always been this high?

“Young Master—I-I-I think you can turn up the heat a bit more!”

Pfft—

Will opened the sauna door, letting out a wave of hot steam.

Pushing up his fogged glasses, he maintained his composed demeanor, even though he couldn’t see a thing.

“That’s enough for today. Small steps every day will lead to great progress.”

Through the lingering mist, Will observed Eir’s figure.

Draped in nothing but a towel, Eir stood there, her skin untouched by the extreme heat thanks to her Ice Armor. Instead, her skin glowed with a soft, healthy pink.

Now fourteen, Eir had begun to blossom into a beauty. Her curves were already evident, and her damp, bare feet on the floor only added to her allure.

She instinctively shook herself off, much like a small animal after a bath. Her floppy wolf ears perked up once dry.

However, as she moved, certain “well-developed” areas of her body swayed noticeably.

Sway, sway, sway.

Will began to wonder if his training had veered off course.

In the original story, Eir was described as petite, frail, and flat-chested.

So where did these D-cup-level assets come from?

And that towel-straining, curvaceous figure—what was going on there?

Perhaps it was because he had prioritized her physical defense alongside her magical defense, feeding her a diet rich in nutrients?

Or maybe it was just the natural growth rate of beastfolk.

Ah, so this was the result of “raising” someone.

Not bad. Will fully understood now.

“Young Master, your left nostril is bleeding. Are you okay?”

“The steam was too hot. It’s nothing.”

Will casually stuffed a tissue up his nose.

As the fog on his glasses cleared, he glanced at his worn, thick red notebook.

On the page, it read:

[Task: High-Temperature Training: Train Eir’s Ice Armor to withstand 500°C for ten minutes.]

He marked it with a check.

Then, he looked at the reward he had written below.

[Reward: New Item for Eir x1]

The ink for the “Reward” section was noticeably fresher, as if it had been added just last night.

Of course, neither the tasks nor the rewards came from some floating system interface or mysterious voice in his head.

He had written them himself.

A seasoned system designer creates their own system!

…Though, now that he thought about it, that sounded kind of sad.

Closing the notebook, the cover bore the handwritten title: “Task System.”

Most of these “tasks” had been written years ago when he first devised this plan, taking him several weeks to complete.

Will was terrified that, four years later, when he encountered the story’s main heroines again, he might forget their optimal development paths, ideal equipment, or most critical abilities. He might even forget their key plot points.

After all, it had been ten years since he read the novel. Forgetting was only natural, right?

Just like playing a game requires foresight and planning, he had meticulously written everything down, dividing it into three Chapters, multiple key events, and several must-have items. The “Reward” section was left blank, to be filled in closer to completion.

“Not bad, not bad. Eir, the task is complete. Now, it’s time to claim your reward.”

“Reward?”

Eir immediately became alert.

Her wolf ears stood straight up, as if afraid she had misheard.

“Yes, come here.”

“But, Young Master… I-I-I’m not dressed yet…”

“That’s fine. It’s easier to claim your reward without clothes.”

“What?!”

The blush from the sauna had just faded from Eir’s face, but upon hearing Will’s words, her cheeks turned crimson again.

Could it be…

Was the young master, whom she had watched grow up, about to lay hands on her?!

It was said that all Hysterm men were depraved when it came to women—without exception.

Was the young master finally awakening to his family’s infamous tendencies?!

“Young Master… um… we’re still young… a-a-and not of age yet. But… but as your maid… if… if you insist on forcing me… I-I wouldn’t be able to refuse…”

Then, she felt something cold wrap around her neck.

It encircled her throat snugly, with a leathery texture.

“This… is a collar?”

Holding the edge of her towel with one hand, Eir touched the object around her neck with the other.

She looked into the mirror as Will stepped aside.

The collar had a metal nameplate engraved with her name. The craftsmanship was exquisite, with anti-chafing edges.

Seeing herself naked with the collar on, Eir couldn’t help but think of the slaves sold in underground markets.

This… was a gift Will had prepared just for her?

The young master…

He actually…

Actually—

Actually was really treating her like a dog?!

“Young Master…”

Eir was deeply moved!

So that was it. He was just treating her like a dog. It wasn’t as perverted as she had feared.

After all, she was an abandoned orphan picked up by the Hysterm family—a half-beast at that. Being the young master’s personal maid was already a great honor.

What’s more, Will had always treated her well, training her not only in maid duties but also in adventuring skills, especially as a Holy Shield Knight, to ensure she wouldn’t be jobless in the future.

Though she didn’t quite understand his comment, “How else will you withstand a 5000°C dragon’s breath in the future?” she could feel his desire to make her stronger!

And now, he had personally placed a collar on her.

Wonderful. From now on, she would dedicate herself to being the young master’s loyal dog!

“Woof… woof!”

“Why are you barking again? Eir, you’re a wolf, not a dog! Anyway, how does it feel? Take a deep breath—inhale—exhale—and feel the power flowing from deep within your core—”

“Huh?”

She took a deep breath.

Where the collar touched her neck’s arteries, she felt a cool current spreading through her veins and magical circuits.

Her overheated body from the sauna suddenly “cooled down.” It wasn’t a jarring chill but more like finding a refreshing stream in a dense forest on a sweltering summer day.

“It’s… strange. My body temperature… dropped? My skin doesn’t feel hot anymore, and my mind isn’t all fuzzy…”
