"Is it not obvious?" Ram smirked. "I'm here to teach a clueless boy how to read and write."

"Oh." Any misconceptions that you had disappeared. You hurriedly put your new clothes away, then took a seat at your table.

"Now then, lets begin." Ram spent the next two hours teaching you the alphabet. You only remembered about half of it, but progress is progress. 

At the end, Ram was yawning, and she finally decided to end the lesson. As she was leaving, she gave you a head pat and a small smile. "Good work, (Y/N)-kun, you're doing great." With this, she left you.

What was that? Why did Ram do that? Girls don't act like that toward me!

You were visibly flustered, and she saw it. 

Once your door was closed, Ram wiped the smile off of her face, and proceeded to go to Roswaal's room.

Once she got there, she knocked on the door. 

"Come in, Ram." Roswaal's muffled voice said.

She opened the door, then closed it behind her. "Roswaal-sama, I did as you asked."

"Good." Roswaal had an amused smile on his face. "Continue what you are doing and get close to (Y/N). He will be a very important piece, and it won't do if we lose him."

Ram nodded her head, then went to Roswaal and cuddled with him, a very disturbing sight. 

"I'll do anything for you Roswaal-sama. Don't worry."

Time skip

You got up at 5:30 the next morning so that you could help prepare breakfast.

Groaning, you got out of bed, and put on your butler clothes.

I've got to admit, this fits me perfectly, and it's really comfortable. I'll make sure to thank Rem when I see her.

You headed towards the kitchen, hoping that you wouldn't get lost.

You got lost.

Well, maybe it's because it's dark, but I don't recognize this hallway... Maybe if I keep on walking, I'll finally find a place that I can remember.

You kept on walking and walking, until you give up. 

You know what, I'll just open all of these doors until I find someone. Screw privacy. Its not like people respect me, so why should I respect them?

The first door that you opened revealed a library. A very certain library with a very certain someone in it.

"What are doing here, I suppose?" Beatrice looked up from her book, wanting an answer.

Of course, I just had to find her... "Well, you see, I was trying to head to the kitchen, but I got lost. Then, I just opened up a random door, and it happened to open up to here."

"You and Subaru seem to have a knack for annoying Betty, I suppose." she said. "Close the door. I will help you, I suppose."

Will you stop saying 'I suppose' at the end of every sentence!? Sure, it's all cute and funny, but it's just getting annoying at this point.

You think this, but you still close the door. As soon as you close it, Beatrice told you, "Now open it, I suppose. Leave Betty alone."

You open the door, and you were now in a familiar hallway with the kitchen only a short distance away. "Thank you! I don't know what I would have done without your help!" You decide to act nice to her and thank her instead of being rude. 

You had manners, but somebody else did not. "Hmph" was the only response you got.

Sighing, you walk out of the library, and into the kitchen.

"Sister, it seems like (Y/N) has slept very well." said Rem.

"Well, not everybody can be as perfect as me!" exclaimed Ram.

You were about to object to their teasing, when you realized something. Ram didn't directly insult you.

Did she indirectly just defend me, or am I overthinking this? I mean... she did that weird thing last night... so... maybe...

You shake your head, clearing your thoughts. "Sorry. I got a little lost coming here." You rub your head, hoping that the insults that were coming wouldn't be too bad.

"(Y/N), how did you get lost? There is literally only one turn from here to your room!" Unexpectedly, it was Subaru that commented on your garbage-level sense of direction.

"I don't know man, I guess that I'm just a little overwhelmed with all of this new information, so I got a little mixed up."

"Well, you do not have to use your brain to cut potatoes, so help Barusu. He can't use a knife without cutting himself." Ram pointed at Subaru, so you head to his direction. 

Before you forgot, you decide to thank Rem for the clothes. "Rem, thank you for the clothes! I really appreciate them!"

"Thank you (Y/N). Now please cut the 'tatoes like my sister asked you to." Rem continued cooking whatever it was that she was cooking.

When you reached Subaru, you could see that he was bleeding in several places on his hand.

"You know, I won't make fun of you for that, because I'm probably going to do the same thing." You pick up a potato and a knife, and try peeling it. To your surprise, you weren't too bad.

Well, by 'too bad', you meant 'not as bad as Subaru". You could peel the potatoes without cutting yourself, but they looked a little uneven. To be honest, you were pretty proud of yourself.

Rem noticed your work, and commented, "(Y/N), I honestly expected you to to worse." She then cringed at Subaru's results. "I pity the farmer that grew those vegetables."

"Hey!" pouted Subaru. "It could be a lot worse."

"It could be a lot better, too. Like this!" Ram presented her potatoes, which were perfectly peeled and cut.

Rem clapped. "You make such a lovely image when you peel potatoes, sister!"

"Bruh." You whisper to Subaru.

You, Subaru, and the maid sisters continued to cook breakfast.

When it was ready, you helped take it out to the dining hall. This time, everybody was here except for Beatrice, who actually skipped most meals.

Once you set out the food, Roswaal gave you a nod, and you began to eat.

You felt proud to have helped make something so good. Sure, you just cut potatoes, but you feel like you contributed a lot more.

Time skip

After a few hours of working, Ram gave you a break, saying that you should rest some so that you could keep working at your best instead of tiring yourself out. She said the same to Subaru.

Since the two of you were on break, Subaru decided to take you to where he thought Emilia was.

"Why do I have to spend my free time tagging along with you to talk to your crush?" you ask him.

"Trust me, it'll be worth it." He didn't refute the fact that you called Emilia his crush, so it was confirmed. Subaru already liked Emilia.

"Fine. I'll trust you." You follow along.

He took you outside, where you finally found Emilia.

"Hey Emilia, what are you doing out here?" Subaru asked, even though he already knew.

"I should be asking you the same! Aren't you and (Y/N) supposed to be working?" Emilia avoided the question for some reason, but you didn't care enough to get an answer to Subaru's question.

"Nope, we are on break." Subaru waved the suggestion of work off.

When he put his hands up, Emilia gasped at the sight of numerous bandages. "Are you okay?! Do you want me to heal those?" Emilia took Subaru's hands, and examined the cuts.

"Thank you, but I think that I'll pass. I think of these as proof that I'm trying my best, so healing them with magic would defeat the purpose." He nodded at you, then asked, "By the way, how can we use magic?"

After he asked this, Puck came from behind Emilia. "Do you know how magic works?" You were about to nod your head, but Subaru said, "Not really. Can you explain it for us?"

"Okay." Puck did a little flip in the air before starting his explanation. "Well, to dumb it down, magic users have gates that lets mana pass through them. As long as you have a gate, you can channel  mana and use magic."

"Cool," you say. "So, how do we know if we  have a gate?"

Puck flew towards you. "Well, both of you should have gates. Do you want me to tell you your magical attribute?" He flew to Subaru, and added, "There are four categories of magic users: fire, water, wind and earth."

"Who wouldn't want t learn their magic type! Tell me now, Professor Puck!" Subaru already knew his magical affinity, but it was still exciting to learn about magic.

As Puck was determining Subaru's affinity, he made a 'meow, meow, meow' sound effect, which was pretty cute.

"Subaru, your affinity is... going to be announced once I determine (Y/N)'s!"

"Why!? Why do you have to kill me with this suspense?!" Subaru dramatically put his hand on his forehead, which made Emilia giggle.

Puck flew to you, and you couldn't help but get excited.

What affinity do I have? What if I have multiple affinities? I hope that I do, because I feel like being OP would help a lot.

Puck finished determining you affinity, so he backed away, back toward Emilia.

"Subaru, (Y/N), are you ready to-"

"Just tell us already!" You couldn't wait anymore, so you interrupt.

Puck grinned. "As you wish! Subaru, you have an affinity for Yin magic, also known as shadow magic. (Y/N), you have..." He just had to mess with you, so he created a dramatic pause.

"(Y/N), you have an affinity for Yang magic, also known as light magic!"










Hey guys, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter.

We finally learned what affinity that (Y/N) has! What do you think about it?

Well, see you next time!
