The fact that I have a pet snake spread throughout the entire mansion.

Now, the silver snake no longer needs to breathe.

[You don’t have to use invisibility anymore, right?]

“Yeah.”

The snake seemed excited about the fact that it could now move around without using invisibility.

As morning came, Sophia, as usual, was the first to come to my room.

“Miss, have you woken up?”

[Roar!]

“Oh my, is this the famous pet snake? It’s so cute.”

[…….]

Even when the silver snake, hiding next to the door, opened its mouth and raised its head, Sophia just chuckled.

‘As expected of Sophia.’

I knew Sophia wouldn’t be surprised. Then, following Sophia, Delma’s voice came from behind.

“Oh, Miss, I’m here…”

Delma couldn’t come in directly and just peeked her head out holding the door frame. There was no way she hadn’t heard the news about Delma.

Actually, I was very worried about Delma. Not surprisingly, the silver snake, waiting for the right moment, opened its mouth with a loud roar as soon as Delma took a step into the room.

[Raaawr!]

Seeing that, Delma screamed.

“Kyaaah! Oh! S-sorry…”

[Kehehehe!]

Satisfied with Delma’s reaction, the silver snake chuckled and slipped under the bed. I forced myself to hold back a sigh.

“Delma, it’s okay now, come in.”

“But, Miss. It’s scarier when I can’t see it.”

[Kehehe! Yeah, you have to be scared like that to be normal!]

The reactions to the snake varied significantly among people.

When I left the room, the knights were hesitating and loitering in front of the mansion. There must have been a reason for the knights to be loitering in front of the mansion.

“What are you all doing here?”

“Oh, Miss!”

Just in case, I spoke, and as expected, they all busied themselves looking at the silver snake in my bag.

“Miss, is this your pet snake?”

“Miss, aren’t you scared?”

‘They must have come because they were curious.’

It was plausible. Keeping a snake as a pet was something I had neither heard nor seen.

“If it’s a pet snake, did you give it a name?”

“Yeah, its name is Eunbaemi.”

“…Eunbaemi?”

In reality, it would have a proper name, but even in the original work, the names of divine beings were rarely mentioned. Since Eunbaemi didn’t care, I decided to casually call it Eunbaemi.

“Miss, you have a great naming sense…”

“Yeah?”

“Very excellent! Hahaha!”

“But, Miss, may I touch it too?”

At that moment, Gazwil extended his hand to the silver snake, only showing its head from my bag. The snake made a fierce hissing sound and opened its mouth wide.

[How dare you!]

“Ugh!”

Gazwil made a strange noise and quickly stepped back. Other knight colleagues who were watching burst into laughter.

Even after the knights left, the silver snake continued to act confidently.

[How dare they treat me as a spectacle to be admired?!] “I won’t let you touch it next time, so don’t get angry.”

It was after I had barely managed to calm the silver snake.

“Oh, Miss! Where are you going, kyaaah!”

A loud scream echoed from the front. It was a bit surprising, but now I was somewhat used to such screams.

“Oh, Miss. That’s the snake from the rumors…”

‘Bart is afraid of snakes too.’

Bart couldn’t approach me, keeping a distance of ten steps.

“Miss, um, which way are you going?”

Seeing the desperate look in his eyes, I could tell he wished I wouldn’t come toward him.

“Yeah, I won’t go towards Bart. Don’t worry.”

I deliberately took a detour down the corridor for Bart. The silver snake, having just seen Bart’s reaction, loosened up and wiggled happily.

[Hmph, that’s right. That’s the right reaction!]

“Yeah, yeah.”

Anyway, I was relieved that the snake’s mood had improved. However, as I descended the stairs, I ran into Davan in the hallway. He looked at me with his fists clenched.

‘Davan seems to be in a bad mood.’

Following his gaze, it seemed he was looking at the silver snake on my shoulder.

“Diane.”

“Yeah?”

“Aren’t you interested in the elixir of immortality?”

“Yeah, not really.”

As I shook my head, Davan made a very displeased expression.

[Immortality? Why are you suddenly asking about that?]

“Well, there is something like that.”

I gave a vague answer.

‘Since the snake doesn’t know about what happened at the auction.’

If I were to say that I tried to cook the elixir of immortality using the snake, it would surely get angry.

At that moment, Clemens and Dad came down to the living room.

“Diane, there you are! Oh, you brought the pet snake too?”

“Yeah! Eunbaemi might get bored.”

“Well, I see.”

Clemens sat next to me with an affectionate smile. Dad sat on the opposite side and called the servants to bring snacks.

‘Snacks!’

I was looking forward to what would be served today, but Dad casually brought up the topic.

“Come to think of it, I heard such rumors the day before we entered the auction house.”

“What rumors?”

“It was about a dish that you need to eat to achieve immortality.”

I gasped at his words. I didn’t expect Dad to bring it up, so I was taken aback. The silver snake was interested again when it heard the words ‘elixir of immortality.’
