my monster girlfriends

When she said this, the corners of her eyes were curved, and she lifted the corner of her skirt playfully, her expression was exactly the same as what Bai Yin had seen in the past, but at this time she was more beautiful and dazzling, like an ugly duckling transformed into a white swan.

——She is a dancing swan.

"This kind of title is unnecessary." Bai Yin smiled wryly, "You should know that I am not the 'Master'."

"No." Elaine shook her head lightly, "Of course you are the master... You have always been, and always will be."

"……What's the meaning?"

"That's a long story..."

Elaine took small steps and stood beside Bai Yin, looking at him with star-like pupils.

"Will you listen to me?"

"Please."

"No, you should use an order, or you can reply with 'say'. The word please should not be said to the maid. This is the rule. If the vicious guest is still there, you, the master, are dead. Elaine smiled and said, "But I'm not a vicious guest, so it doesn't matter. Be careful next time..."

"Then, where should I start..."

People from the past, people from the present: NO.30 Maid (12) in the past

(Note: The historical plots presented in this chapter are purely fictitious, if there are any errors, the heterotopic universe)

"Where should I start? I'm sorry, master, I'm not educated, so I'm not very good at telling stories. I only heard the bedtime stories told by the nun. If you feel a little impatient, please tell me."

Bai Yin said: "It doesn't matter, this night is still very long, I will listen to it as long as it takes."

Elaine pouted her lower lip: "That's why I said it, you can't be so gentle, you have to be strict and majestic."

Bai Yin said: "You have already said that I am the master. I want to speak gently. You have no right to refuse."

The uneducated maid blinked her eyes and thought blankly for five seconds, but she couldn't decipher Bai Yin's "attack the shield with the spear of the son", so she had to give up her own "master should have master" look" rhetoric.

"I can't remember where I was born. I only remember that I grew up in a church." Elaine started her narrative with this sentence, "My childhood was very happy. A nun She adopted me, and she also adopted many children who have no parents like me. There is a garden where we live. Every spring, many flowers whose names I don’t know will grow. Unfortunately, those flowers cannot survive It won’t be long before they all wither, and I’ll be very sad at this time, and I’ll sing a farewell song for the petals on the ground, like a funeral.”

"It was a wonderful time. We lived in the church. The sister in the choir sang hymns in the morning. The nun sat under the colorful mosaic glass and crumbled the bread, mixed it with milk, and fed it to my mouth. That is food that no nobles can enjoy, because we have raised cows, so we can drink it."

(Note: In the natural state, due to the proliferation of bacteria, milk often deteriorates only a few hours after milking, and needs to be drunk quickly. For a long time after that, people except fresh milk made into cheese, yogurt, etc. There is no other way than dairy products, limited by the transportation conditions and fresh-keeping technology at that time, only nomads and residents around the pasture can drink fresh milk.)

"I also made a few friends, but unfortunately I can't remember their names now. I just remember that we held hands in the garden and sang songs to welcome spring together."

When Elaine said this, her pupils shone brightly. It seemed that those days had an extraordinary impact on her life.

But Bai Yin was keenly aware of something: "You respect the nun who adopted you, but you don't know her name? Did you forget?"

Elaine shook her head, "No, because she never said her name, and we secretly called her mother, but she would often be very angry when she heard it, and asked us to change it and call her a nun."

Bai Yin understood something instantly, but he didn't speak.

It's bad manners to interrupt someone's confidant, especially if something he understands seems cruel.

"Those days are really nostalgic... But the good days don't last long." Elaine said softly, "When I was 14 years old, the nun gave me a gift, which was the key to the back door of the church. And told me to keep it a secret, and keep it a secret from everyone..."

"The key has always been kept by the nun herself. It is said that there was a naughty child who ran out of the door at night to play, and was snatched away by wolves. So every time the sun goes down, she will lock the door of the church herself. , Urging everyone to fall asleep. But now she has handed over the key to me, I don’t know why she did this, but I am a very obedient child, so I nodded obediently.”

"After this, the nun's attitude towards us suddenly changed. She began to beat and scold us frequently, and the food changed from fresh milk and white bread to black and hard brown bread, often because one of us made a small mistake. For a small mistake, all of us will be punished without food..."

"During that time, all of us were very scared. Many people sneaked out because they couldn't bear it. They thought that even wandering was much better than staying here. They also called me, but I refused. Because I believe that the nun will change back, she will still sit tenderly by the bed and tell us stories until we fall asleep."

"But the nun didn't change back, she just went too far. Once she didn't provide food for three days and three nights. I was so hungry that I could only secretly pick the petals from the garden and eat them with the water in the stream, but I was still hungry and passed out. When I woke up, I saw the nun hugging me and crying... I was unconscious at the time, but I felt that the nun had turned back, so I patted her on the back, Comfort her, just like what she did to us, we fell asleep hugging each other that night, and I slept soundly."

"On the second day, a group of men in black clothes came to the church. Their clothes were luxurious, as if they came out of a painting... They asked the nun, where are those children, and the nun said blankly, who knows, I was not firm in my will, so I ran away, probably dead, so I should go find other good seeds, and those who are not good will die as soon as they die."

"I was watching this conversation from behind a cupboard and I didn't understand it at the time, it just hurt because I knew the nun loved us and she was our mother and now she's trying to act like she doesn't care look like..."

"So, I jumped out and said out loud that there's still me, I'm still here."

Having said this, Elaine asked with a wry smile, "Isn't it stupid?"

"No." Bai Yin said, "It's just too kind."

"Thank you for your comfort." Elaine continued, "The moment she saw me, the nun's expression suddenly changed, she turned pale with fright, and told me loudly, let me run, until no one can find me place. Before she could finish her sentence, her leg was broken by a man in black."

"I watched this scene in shock and froze, but even though the nun couldn't stand up, she was still talking loudly, yelling, run, run... I was very obedient, and immediately got into the church, and those men came to chase me Me, but they weren't familiar with the layout of the house, and I grew up here, so I ended up running out the back door...with the key that the nun gave me, for my...birthday present."

"After escaping, I started wandering. That kind of life is very uncomfortable, but I can bear it. Compared with these, I am more worried about how the nun is doing now. How will those people treat her? Has she had a good meal? ? Or is it that another group of children like us once lived in her church?"

"I know it's just fantasy, but I'm praying with all my heart, praying to the gods, that she's okay."

"But the illusion was finally shattered. Two months later, a man dressed in the same black clothes as those before found me. He told me that Anna would be burned at the stake in seven days, just like the witch in the story. Burn at the stake, because she deceived the gods."

"He told me that the gods are tolerant, so they gave me a chance to infiltrate the maids, use my looks, and kill someone... If I can succeed, then Anna will not die."

People from the past, people from the present: NO.31 Maid (Knot) May you laugh every day

"Then did you succeed?" Bai Yin asked.

"It worked... I didn't even think that I succeeded." Elaine said, "Under the arrangements of those people, I managed to sneak into the team of maids. For the next three days, I have been Learning how to be a maid...a bit tiring, but nothing."

"Three days later, I finally got a chance. That morning, I dug out the dagger they had buried in the garden soil. Fortunately, the maid's outfit has many places for things, which made it easy for me. Hiding the knife, I quietly walked to the nobleman's bedroom, just waiting for him to go out."

"Some..." Bai Yin paused, "Rough."

Now is not a good time to make jokes, otherwise Bai Yin would probably complain, "Your method is as perfunctory as a middle school student doing homework on the last day of winter vacation."

"I can't help it, it's the first time I've done this kind of thing." Elaine blinked innocently, "Fortunately, I managed to wait until he went out... That noble lord is just like you, very young. When he saw me, he didn't scold me, but asked me gently, did I get lost?"

"Then... I leaned in and plunged the blade into his throat."

Elaine was silent for a while when she said this: "That's also... a very good nobleman. After I killed him, he looked at me incredulously, as if he was questioning, asking why his kindness was so good. But it was the blade...I could only bow to him and say I'm sorry until the other maids came. One of the maids saw this scene, screamed, and rushed to hug him. That must be the person she loved deeply. ? Just like my beloved Sister Anna..."

"In the end, she took the knife, cried and stabbed it in my body..."

"I didn't resist, I just felt guilty because... I killed her important person."

At this point, a certain fact seems to be obvious.

"So the reason why you appeared outside the door that morning was not because you were a maid..." Bai Yin asked, "It's just because you were here to assassinate."

"Yeah." Elaine said, "Because, this is my obsession... the obsession that made me linger until now."

"I want to respond to the kindness of others, to be treated as a maid once, without carrying anything else, a pure maid."

"To serve, to serve, to wash and cook, to do all the things that a maid should do."

......

"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have asked." Bai Yin said, "How did you become a maid?"

"Uh...you chose me."

......

——Of course Bai Yin chose her.

Bai Yin has always misunderstood one thing.

He was never a "replacement guy".

In this dream, he is him, not some nobleman from a hundred years ago, let alone any other character.

He is just "white chanting".

He had been Elaine's master since that morning, and always had been.

"...Probably, that's all." Elaine said, "Now that I think about it, isn't it a bit too stupid?"

Bai Yin didn't speak.

Of course it is stupid, when the fatal handle is in the hands of others, human beings have lost all the right to choose.

Even if she succeeds in the assassination, even if she does escape, all she faces is the ending of being used again.

But how could you say that to her?How can you use a critical tone to destroy her kindness that has been maintained for hundreds of years?

"So, I am very grateful to you." Elaine said, "Thank you for being my master."

"Thank you for putting up with my clumsiness."

"Thank you for listening to me finish this boring story."

"Thank you for accompanying me to the last dawn during this last time."

That's right.

The so-called "ghost" exists because of a certain obsession.

So now, Elaine, who has lost her obsession, naturally has no reason to exist.

In Bai Yin's vision, she walked to the window.

Outside the window is the slowly translucent sky, which is the warmest light greeted by dawn—after the deepest darkness.

She turned her back to the sky.

The light shone on her golden hair, scattered like fine gold.

Tears welled up.

——I really, never thought that I would have such a happy ending.

A good story should end with the death of all the bad guys.

A woman like me, who takes advantage of other people's kind thoughts to take her life, can actually satisfy her last and most important wish.

If this is a dream of bubbles, please let me never wake up.

"Thank you, my beloved!"

It was a laughing, yet choked voice.

"Master, you are the one I love deeply, but we are not the same way."

"I am going to hell, but for a kind person like you, heaven will be waiting for you."

"But I still pray, pray sincerely, pray to the Almighty Lord, let Him love you and favor you, even if I am in hell."

"May you laugh every day!"

She clasped her hands, tears rolled down her face, and she smiled brightly.

At this moment, she is really like a nun, a pious nun, once a nun raised her kind, and now she has become what she used to be.

"Even so, even so... I still want you to agree to my last, offensive request."

"Please don't forget me, a stupid, evil woman named Elaine."

"Please let her stay in a corner of your memory forever, please remember that she loves you so deeply."

"……Um."

Bai Yin nodded.

Solemn, as if never to forget it again.

Elaine smiled with relief.

A beautiful, angelic smile.

"If it's possible," she said, "I really want to... be by your side."

"You are welcome anytime." Bai Yin said, "I also want to thank you for teaching me something—"

"..."

……no reply.

Her soul is no longer here.

Like the mermaid princess in the sea, she disappeared before dawn.

Bai Yin stood up silently and walked to the window.

The sun has risen, but Yi Ren's smile has faded away.

It's ironic that she has been kind all her life, but she thinks that she should go to hell, Bai Yin has done a lot of evil, but she prays for him to go to heaven.

Bai Yin looked at the sun in the sky, like watching a white deer in the forest.

Elaine... originally meant "deer".

What appeared in his heart were some sad emotions.
