Summary
“People don’t only moan when they’re in pain.” My fiancé cheated on me, and the security agency I worked for collapsed overnight. “It’s fine. Actually, this might be a good thing.” So I decided to live a quiet and peaceful life by getting a job as the caretaker of a mansion. Tending the garden, maintaining the mansion—a small but fulfilling daily routine! I truly believed my days in this village, at this mansion, would be peaceful and happy... But something is strange about the villagers’ reactions. “Eek!” They run away the moment our eyes meet. “I-I am your loyal servant!” They treat normal greetings like some kind of intense threat. ‘Maybe they’re just wary because I’m a stranger?’ So I tried using a greeting I once learned from my mother: Clench one hand into a fist (Hello, everyone),
Tap the wrist of the fist with your other hand (No need to be scared),
Then lower the fist (Let’s be friends!). When I greeted the villagers like this, they suddenly started treating me warmly.***
A real demon has appeared at the demon-possessed abandoned mansion.
A terrifying demon who carries around a mysterious eyeball and drove the coachman Hans insane.
The increase in missing villagers must be this demon’s doing! Then one day, the demon gave us a warning. Clench one hand into a fist (You guys),
Tap the wrist of the fist (If you don't behave),
Lower the fist (I'll destroy everything!). “We’re so sorry, great demon! We didn’t recognize your greatness!”***
At first, I thought it was just going to be a wholesome story where the female lead and male lead work hard to take care of the mansion... “Shasha.” A gentle but firm touch held her in place. “People don’t only moan when they’re in pain.” Chernok softly curled his eyes and brought his lips close to her ear. “They make similar sounds when they want something. For example…” His soft hair brushed her neck, and his breath tickled her ear. “Mm…” Shasha let out an involuntary sound, and Chernok smiled, clearly pleased. “Good girl.” ...It seems I’m starting to develop something with the master of the mansion.
