System vs Rebirth

"Hello, you're new here, right?" A man came to Elaine with a bucket of water.

"Y-yes." Elaine nodded, confused. She thought she would be bullied in this place.

However, the man simply said, "Please use this to wash your face. If it's still not enough, you can use the public bathroom to wash yourself."

"I-Is that so?" Elaine raised her eyebrows in amusement. As a noble, she was obviously familiar with this treatment. In fact, she usually washed her face in the morning and cleaned her body during the night. In addition, there would be a bath every week.

However, the man actually said she could wash her body in the morning.

'Is such a thing possible?' Elaine contemplated before asking, "Are you sure?"

"Of course." The man nodded.

This made him even more suspicious. She had prepared herself to be treated harshly by the people, but she could actually maintain a part of her noble lifestyle.

"Are you the one bringing the water?"

The man looked surprised and remembered something. "Ah. Now that I think about it, you've just arrived in this town yesterday. Miss Rose has asked me to show you around and treat you like normal workers here. Don't worry. If you're worried about water, we have plenty of it. Please take a look at that."

The man pointed at the window, specifically the maids and butlers that gathered water from faucets. "We just have to open the faucet, and the water will come out. There is no need to worry about the water. If it can make you feel refreshed, it means that the water has done its job. Just make sure you work hard today."

"…" Elaine fell silent for a moment. She suddenly remembered that when Rose brought her to the dorm. Each room was extremely small.

The bed took up the entire left side of the room and a table was next to the bed. On top of the table was a window, which would bring in some light. However, Rose said that she could put a small box next to the ceiling if she needed some light during the night. She hadn't tried it, but after seeing how easy it was to procure water, the room might not be as simple as she originally thought.

"I will take this." Elaine grabbed the bucket.

"Sure. If it's not enough, you can go to the worker's bathroom. The Lord said that we don't need to care about how much water we use, but still, the habit from old days keeps haunting me. So I don't dare to use too much water."

"Understood. Thank you."

"Sure. If you're done, meet me outside. I'll show you around."

"Yes." Elaine suddenly remembered something and stopped for a moment. "Ehm, I am Elaine. What is your name?"

The man smiled. "Jack."
