Mansion's Servants
「Kureto, looks like the mansion you bought the other day is ready」
Three days after purchasing the mansion in the royal capital. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
While I was buying all the necessary furniture and tableware in Howling village, Emilio told me that the preparation for the mansion in the royal capital was completed.
「Isn’t it too soon? It’s only been like three days since then, hasn’t it?」
「It’s because the mansion’s original state was in good condition that it doesn’t require that much repair or cleaning, and it also had the furniture already there, right?」
I know what Emilio was saying but it still felt too quick.
「Well, I also asked them to hurry a bit though」
Real estate oneesan, she might probably be under pressure from Emilio and had to push herself quite hard, huh?
「Don’t bully your business partner too much, okay?」
「It’s fine. There is profit corresponding to what’s being offered after all」
It makes me a little worried for her, but Emilio won’t do something unscrupulous so I decided to just believe him. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
A creature called a corporate slave will do their best if a decent reward is promised. No, being forced to work for long hours without reward is what defines a corporate slave, so isn’t that real estate oneesan just that?
But still, it’s thanks to that oneesan’s hard work that I was able to move in so quickly so let’s just be grateful.
Emilio and I move toward the mansion as we pass through the gate.
Then, the door of the mansion opened and several people who looked like maids came out from inside.
Those women lined up in a disciplined manner to greet us as if waiting for us to arrive.
「Oi oi, there’s already a bunch of servants here?」
It has only been three days since I purchased this place, this is fast.
Still I thought the matter about the servants would not be completed already, this is surprising
「I told you, the mansion was ready, didn’t I?」
But, Emilio only says that as if it was natural.
I wonder if he used the company’s employee since it’s done at this speed? Oh well, at any rate, the servants have been decided so what’s left is to greet them.
As I approached the entrance door with Emilio, a woman with long silver hair and blue eyes came forward.
「I have been entrusted with Kureto-sama’s management of the mansion. My name is Elza Walker, the head maid エルザ＝ウォーカー」
「I will be living in this mansion from today onwards, my name is Kureto. I look forward to your……hm? ‘Walker’, are you a noble?」
I almost ignored it while doing my greeting, but the maid there had a family name.
When you exclude people with a particular ethnic group, most people who have family names are nobles.
I have heard of the Walker house before so I couldn’t help but suddenly got surprised.
「Yes, I am from the Walker house. But even if I say that, I am just an unimportant fourth daughter of a viscount house so please do not mind it. I volunteered as a live-in apprentice in Emilio’s company in order to learn various things」
「 Although she’s a noble’s daughter it is common for them to serve as a servant for their own education and in order to increase their value」
Emilio calmly added that information following Elza. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「That means, the other girls too……?」
「Yes, they are from the Baron house」
After Elza said that, the other three maids standing beside her came forward.
「My name is Lulu Mistolt ルルア＝ミストルテ」
「I am Arche Landra! Pleased to meet you!」
「I am Larasa Elfior～」
The first person to introduce herself is a girl with a relatively small build wearing twin tails on her blond hair, the second one is a lively girl with red hair that reaches her shoulder. And the last one to introduce herself is a girl with light brown hair tied in ponytail braids with drooping eyes.
Their age is probably around 12 to 15 years old. If I were to compare them to girls in my previous life then they would still be in junior and high school. It just smells like a criminal act.
I don’t feel calm at all when the maids working in the mansion will be girls from noble families.
Moreover, they are all from the noble families we do business with so we can’t be rude to them.
「……Emilio, you forced these girls to work in my mansion, didn’t you?」
「It would make you want to return home if you were being healed by beautiful girls, right?」
When I gave him a piercing gaze as I questioned him, Emilio easily confessed the reason.
No wonder he was so enthusiastic about me owning a mansion in the royal capital. Was it to force these children onto my mansion instead of using my house or using it as a storehouse?
「The healing space in my mind is the countryside. I’m not looking for that kind of space in the royal capital」
「…… meaning, Kureto’s woman is in Howling village?」
「I don’t have one and I don’t need it. Rather than having a love affair with a woman, the current me is looking for a calm place right now」
「Kureto, you’re kinda mature, aren’t you」
I feel like Andre also said that kind of line to me before. Oh well, I’m actually close to my thirties anyway so I can’t deny that I’m mature already. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「We will wholeheartedly do our best so that Kureto-sama will have a comfortable lifestyle, please treat us well」
「「Please treat us well!」」
「Ye, yess. Me too, please treat me well」
And thus, young maids are added to my house.
◆
As soon as we entered the newly-bought mansion, Emilio and I sat down on the sofa in the living room.
As expected from the mansion’s sofa, the cushioning is firm. My body is sinking in the sofa just at the right amount.
There’s no gaudiness to it as its practicality was right on the mark. It really suits my tastes, as expected, buying this mansion is the correct decision.
「Would you like some tea?」
As I was enjoying the feel of the sofa, Elza pushed a tea wagon inside and asked us.
There is a tea set on the tea wagon so I can enjoy tea anytime I want to.
「Give me a black tea please」
「Add a little sugar for me」
「Understood」
After requisition such, Elza respectfully bows and begins preparing for our tea.
Only the sound of Elza preparing tea resounds in the quiet living room.
Arche was standing by at the living room’s exit and I couldn’t see the figure of the other two perhaps they were doing other tasks.
「You seem uncomfortable somehow」
「I couldn’t calm down with having maids in my living space. Besides - formally speaking -, they higher social position than me」
It’s a Western-style mansion so it doesn’t feel out of place if there are women wearing maid uniforms with frills. If anything, they fit perfectly in the mansion.
However, I can’t calm down at all since this is my home now. It’s not like I’m in an otaku holy land where maids are always nearby.
「Come to think of it, Kureto wasn’t good at ordering people even in the company, right?」
「I mean, I was on that side being ordered around in the past. I have a deep-rooted subordinate mentality」
Also I have a special Space magic so I don’t show it to my fellow employees. And so I didn’t interact deeply with each other even in the same company but worked as an individual instead.
But, working without complicated human relationships is truly stress-free and gives me freedom.
I don’t regret it because right now I don’t want to go back to my previous life’s work style.
「Here you go」
「Thank you very much」
I thanked her for the tea offered to me, but then Elza gave me a complex look. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……with all due respect Kureto-sama. We are all Kureto-sama’s servants so our position here is inferior to you. So such a polite wording is unnecessary」
「That’s right. It’s hard to tell which is below whom if you’re so formal」
Hearing what Elza said, Emilio smiled while elegantly taking a sip of his tea.
「Even so, it is still a short time since we met. It’s difficult to change it so suddenly」
「Then, please make the shift in attitude slowly」
「Yes, understoo――yeah okay」
I was about to reply with polite wording, but then Elza’s blue eyes suddenly narrowed so I corrected myself.
Elza then nodded in satisfaction.
This maid-san, she looks so pretty and ladylike but she surprisingly stated her intention clearly and boldly.
Maybe it’s because she’s a noble that her speech and conduct are elegant and she’s strangely vigorous.
But, for a man living a single, sloppy lifestyle, it may be better to have a firm maid like her around. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
