I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

It was by the narrowest of margins.

My hand knocked the Rabbit Butler’s wrist aside.

Before my brain could process what was happening, my body moved first.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

But she hadn’t died.

It was a burn caused by the intense heat.

The beam barely grazed her cheek, leaving behind a thin red line.

Part of Mo Haein’s hair vanished without a trace.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

But an instant later, a chill ran down my spine.

After confirming that she had survived, I let out a huge sigh of relief.

Mo Haein was still alive.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Gunbam.”

The Rabbit Butler remained behind me as he asked,

The instinctive terror emanating from the being standing right behind me weighed down my entire body.

“Why?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Butlers hated the cleaners.

Even the Footmen, who had once been cleaners themselves before being hired by the mansion, looked down on them with contempt.

That brief question conveyed nothing but genuine confusion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

They had no value beyond that.

To them, cleaners were nothing more than fuel used to maintain the mansion.

Of the two, the Cat Butler was relatively more tolerant because of his refined tastes.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

From his point of view, what I had just done made absolutely no sense.

If a cleaner irritated him even slightly, he eliminated them without the slightest hesitation.

The Rabbit Butler, on the other hand, openly expressed his disgust.

More precisely, he simply couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to something he considered little more than trash.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I would have already been absorbed by the mansion with a hole through my forehead.’

The only reason I was still alive was because my Affinity with him was extremely high.

Otherwise, the moment I had touched his wrist.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

This time, Mo Haein really could become fuel for the mansion.

If I answered badly here, my Affinity would plummet.

And losing Affinity would be the least of my problems.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

One that wouldn’t come too late.

The Rabbit Butler turned me to face him.

I carefully searched for an answer.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A Butler. auction Makes mistakes. airport I won’t be angry.”

Looking directly at me, he spoke slowly.

“Gunbam. adjust It’s okay.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

He looked exactly like an excellent mentor reassuring a rookie after making a mistake.

It was as though he were telling me to calm down and explain myself.

As he spoke, he gently patted my shoulder.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Looking at the Rabbit Butler, I continued.

Thanks to that, I managed to buy myself a little more time.

I answered as calmly as I could.

“She seemed quite capable. adapt I thought she might deserve one more chance. echo I also thought it might not be a bad idea for the mansion to have a maid.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Rabbit Butler burst into loud laughter.

But I couldn’t finish.

“I thought that perhaps someday the Master might receive a mistress in the—”

“Hahaha!”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

His long ears swayed back and forth as he laughed.

After laughing for quite a while, he suddenly stopped.

Everyone else remained silent.

As a result, his laughter echoed throughout the entire mansion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Gunbam. crystal You were human.”

With one hand, he adjusted one of his metallic ears.

The ear bent gently beneath the movement of his fingers.

I couldn’t understand what he meant.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Thank you.”

“You. arcade Go to the basement.”

Then he gestured toward Mo Haein.

The Rabbit Butler watched me for a moment before looking away.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

She struggled to her feet.

Mo Haein replied in a trembling voice while biting her lip.

She staggered a little, but managed to walk away.

Kwak Hanmuk watched her leave before reluctantly heading off in the opposite direction.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“Let’s get back to work.”

I could feel the Rabbit Butler’s gaze fixed on me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

As though the interest I had shown earlier had never existed, I calmly assigned work areas to the next group of cleaners.

I didn’t look back at Mo Haein.

“■■, ■■■■, and ■… head to the basement.”

***

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Under the Rabbit Butler’s supervision, I finished assigning work areas to every cleaner.

I had no idea how much time had passed.

By the time I was done, it was already dinner time.

If I could have chosen, I would have preferred not to eat.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Following the Rabbit Butler’s and Cat Butler’s orders, they kept piling more food onto my plate.

Two Footmen attended to me throughout the entire meal.

But that wasn’t an option.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though I only took a single bite of everything they served me, I ended up eating until I felt like I was about to burst.

The Cat Butler asked me what I thought of my first day as a Butler.

And to make matters worse.

The food was genuinely delicious.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s your first time serving as a Butler, Gunbam. alert What did you think?”

So I pretended it had been exhausting.

“It was a little difficult.”

If I admitted that I’d enjoyed it, they might ask me to continue working as a Butler.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Gunbam, you always know exactly how to brighten our day!”

“It made me realize just how extraordinary the Butlers who manage this great mansion truly are.”

Of course, I didn’t forget to flatter them either.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Cat Butler was delighted.

The more I ate,

I began to feel better as well.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Most of it was light conversation about the mansion.

After that, we talked about many things.

the better I felt.

Just as I had expected, neither of them mentioned the new cleaners even once.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

I gave up any hope of hearing anything about Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

Although there were many of them, none possessed the qualities necessary to become a Butler.

Instead, I discovered that the mansion currently had twelve Footmen.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

It sounded as though the Master had been gone for at least a hundred years.

“After all, trends have changed tremendously since the last time the Master lived here!”

I also learned that when the Master returned, they were planning to renovate the mansion with a more modern style.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if I was only a temporary employee.

Now that I had become a Butler, I wanted to meet the Master before leaving CCC.

‘I wonder when he’ll finally come back.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Out of courtesy, I took a sip.

He had always been one of the characters who intrigued me the most.

The Cat Butler had a Footman refill my glass with red wine.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fortunately, the Rabbit Butler came to my rescue.

The Cat Butler looked at me as if asking whether that was true.

A little more, and I would have felt like my stomach was about to burst.

“Gunbam is human. arctic He can’t eat any more.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

I answered honestly.

The Butlers, who had been enjoying the banquet alongside me, set down their utensils at the same time.

“My apologies! matrix I wasn’t considerate enough.”

“I’m full…”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was almost as if…

As I glanced at their plates, I noticed something.

The Butlers had eaten exactly the same amount that I had.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a little strange that beings with metal heads would eat in the first place.

‘Did they do it just to keep me company?’

They didn’t actually need to eat.

Although, come to think of it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It was a very pleasant evening.”

“Gunbam. audit Go to bed early tonight.”

When the banquet ended, the Butlers escorted me to my room.

“Yes. armor Have a good night.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

Click.

After politely saying goodbye and watching them leave, I closed the door.

Finally.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Butlers could still be nearby.

I leaned my back against the closed door and squeezed my eyes shut.

I was alone.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Everything has turned out completely differently than I expected.’

Normally, cleaners weren’t given accommodations inside the mansion.

I didn’t even dare let out a real sigh.

They had to find a way to spend the night in whatever area had been assigned to them.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

The basement, where Mo Haein had been assigned, was the most dangerous area in the entire mansion.

As darkness fell, screams echoed throughout the mansion.

Nighttime was when the Creatures truly began to move.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, considering Mo Haein’s ability and the Ray Gun I had managed to get into her hands, dealing with the Creatures wouldn’t be a problem.

Of all the types of Creatures inhabiting the mansion, the fiercest and most difficult ones constantly appeared there.

Even so.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

A cleaner couldn’t leave their assigned area until every Creature there had been eliminated.

Surviving the night alone would already be difficult.

‘In the end, Captain Kwak and I will have to figure out Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno’s location on our own.’

That meant searching for other people was practically impossible.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had already attracted far too much attention today by saving Mo Haein.

More importantly, I wasn’t even sure whether I was allowed to leave the guest room.

The last time I had seen Mo Haein, she hadn’t been in good condition, so I also wanted to check whether she was all right.

But the other areas were also infested with Creatures, so it wouldn’t be easy for just the two of us to move around quickly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if I came up with a convincing excuse, they might connect it to what had happened earlier and it could cause me trouble.

And if they caught me outside the guest room.

The best outcome would be for Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno to come find me in the guest room himself.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Suddenly, I remembered something I hadn’t considered until now.

Even though the system windows had disappeared, perhaps my abilities were still intact.

’…Wait.’

As a test, I tried using the ability I needed the most right now.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

However, for some reason, I was certain that I could send a Message to Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

‘Message.’

So I sent it immediately.

No system window appeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

After walking back and forth for a while.

‘Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno. anxiety Please come to the guest room on the third floor of the East Wing.’

Meanwhile, I began pacing around the room, trying to organize my thoughts. timber The situation had become complicated from every angle, and my mind was a complete mess.

Now all that was left was to wait and see whether it had actually reached him.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clack.

Clack.

I heard an extremely faint sound.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was so faint that it could easily have been mistaken for the wind.

But the person I had called wasn’t someone who traveled in ordinary ways.

Clack.

Most people would have ignored it.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Ah!”

Then I looked down.

I ran to the window and opened it.

A gasp escaped me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment our eyes met, a smiling face appeared on his glasses.

^ ^♬

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno was climbing the wall.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Apparently, he had climbed the wall because spreading his wings would have been too conspicuous and risked exposing himself.

His metal hand rested gently on the windowsill.

Although the frame looked like it was made of wood, it somehow supported the weight of his metal hand without suffering the slightest damage.

He even added a musical note to one side before reaching the third floor in the blink of an eye.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had arrived silently, but staying by the window wasn’t a good idea.

He could be spotted by a Creature or, if we were unlucky, by the Rabbit Butler or the Cat Butler.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno sat on the windowsill and simply stared at me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

But he had no intention of entering.

“Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno. riddle Please come inside, quickly.”

Instead, he asked,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What are you?”

Before his metal hand could tear me apart, I hurriedly explained the situation.

That sudden question made me realize I was still wearing the Butler uniform.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes?”

“For various reasons, they hired me as a Butler instead of a cleaner.”

“Goyo.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clack.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno raised his glasses onto the top of his head.

“I received a quest.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

His golden irises were revealed.

“…”

I was speechless.

“It says to rescue you.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had no idea why a quest that had absolutely nothing to do with the Trial had appeared.

After all, I wasn’t even getting any system windows myself.

Rescue me?

“I don’t know why that quest appeared, but it doesn’t make any sense anyway.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even though I’m a Butler now, it’s really no different from being hired as a cleaner. timber We agreed that I’d only work here for seven days.”

“Why?”

After listening to me, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno tilted his head slightly to one side.

“Who told you that?”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And you believed them?”

“It was an agreement I reached after talking with the Butlers.”

Then he asked,

The moment I finished answering, Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno’s golden eyes slowly curved.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

I hesitated for a moment before answering.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno slowly raised one hand.

“…I don’t understand what you mean.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 41 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re so naïve, Goyo.”

“And you believe every word without questioning it.”

His metal hand lightly tapped my chest.

“An NPC from a Trial tells you something…”
