Relaxing At The Mansion
「Kureto-sama」
「What is i――I mean, what?」
「I have received a rough explanation from Emilio-sama, but may I please hear this so-called two-based lifestyle of yours in detail, Kureto-sama?」
As I was taking a break munching on some snacks while drinking the tea made by Elza, Elza asked me gracefully. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Aah, it’s hard to understand it just by listening to it. Emilio, can I tell them about my magic?」
Since she is the person in charge of managing this mansion, it is necessary for Elza to understand my lifestyle.
I mean, I’m going to have a unique lifestyle where I will have something called a ‘two-based’ life. It would probably create less confusion if I gave them some degree of information about Space magic.
Or rather, I don’t want to act sneaky using the magic to return home.
「It’s fine, Elza and the others have signed a written non-disclosure agreement after all, But, you don’t need to tell them everything」
Even though he’s talking about it with them at the scene, Emilio still talks about it calmly.
Oh well, that might be the case. I should just tell them the minimum of information necessary.
「Then, I will explain about this ‘two-based’ lifestyle」
「Please」
So I explain to Elza and Arche - who are standing by - about the two-based lifestyle where I will go back and forth between the royal capital and Howling village. That it is possible for me to travel a long distance using a magic called Space magic.
After listening to my explanation, Elza had a quiet expression on her face, while Arche had an expression that says ‘I can’t believe it’.
It must be unbelievable that there exists a magic that can make you travel in an instant to a location you’ve been to once. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……now I understand the reason for Emilio company's abnormal growth speed. So the reason why it was said to appear unexpectedly was because of Kureto-sama’s participation」
「My magic may certainly be useful and greatly contributed to the company’s growth, but there was also Emilio’s ability that make full use of my ability to the maximum」
「Oya? I’m becoming shy if Kureto said something like that to me, you know」
Emilio shrugged his shoulder without any hint of shyness at all.
「Emilio company has grown so big but, I don’t want people to misunderstand that it’s because of my ability alone that made it possible」
Although there are some parts where I need to be flexible, the fact that we achieved such a success is undoubtedly due to Emilio’s ability. There’s no way I would monopolize such an achievement by myself even by mistake.
「Thus, Kureto has a special magic. Some people already know about it to some extent but still, don’t thoughtlessly spread it around, alright? If you do, I don’t know what would happen if Kureto were to suddenly move to your house’s mansion someday」
「Ueeeehhhh!?」
Hearing the not-so-peaceful words of Emilio, Arche - who is standing by at the entrance - screamed.
「……no, no, I wouldn’t do an assassination or something」
「Y, yes」
Even when I tried to smooth over the situation by hurriedly smiling at her, Arche’s expression is still stiff.
Oh well, there’s no building I couldn’t break into if I will it. No matter how strict the security is or how far, I can just use Teleport to enter it in an instant.
「Returning to the topic, I will come and stay in the mansion when I have work to do. Other than those times, I will move to the base in Howling village by use of magic and stay there. In those cases, I will tell Elza in advance, so it would be great if you could tell Emilio if I went somewhere」
「Yeah, yeah. Kureto has not been doing that much work lately, but the kind of work I want to assign him tends to come suddenly. If Kureto is not in the royal capital and I can not contact him, I want Elza to pass on my message to him」
「Understood」
Elza firmly nodded after hearing what I - and Emilio - said. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「If I were to stay in Howling village beyond my scheduled date, I would return temporarily and inform you. All you have to do is to manage the mansion while I’m away. And if you have too much time on your hands, you can help at the company, I leave the judgment to you」
Out of the corner of my eyes, I see Emilio being startled but I don’t mind him.
「……understood. I think I will see how it goes for the time being and do my best to maintain the mansion」
Well, you have to complete the bare minimum of your job for the time being. If the girls were to have too much free time, they could help at the company or reduce the number of staff.
◆
As we were discussing about things like the ‘two-based’ lifestyle and the way we worked, time had completely passed without us noticing and it was already evening.
「Well then, Kureto. I will take my leave now」
「You are not going to stay?」
「I have a little bit of work to do. No need to send me off」
He’s been relaxing at the mansion all along so I thought he’s going to stay in the mansion for today, but it seems like he’s going to work.
Emilio gallantly left the living room after saying those to me.
He might just take a bit half of the day off today.
Despite the various speculations in my mind, it’s also thanks to Emilio that I was able to live in such a nice mansion.
Let’s thank him again the next time we meet. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Kureto-sama. We do not employ a chef in the present state of the mansion, so what would it be for the dinner?」
「Ahー, I had forgotten about that」
Maybe it’s because I’ve been living at the inn for too long that I took it for granted a dining hall was nearby.
We have no chef here and there is also no private dining hall. I won’t be able to eat just by going to the first floor.
「Will you hire a chef?」
「Hmーm, I’m not always in the mansion every day and when I’m away with the Teleport, I’m often doing things outside」
Since I can use Teleport, I often just eat out depending on my mood. I probably won’t eat the three meals a day in the mansion.
It would be difficult to accommodate a master with such an irregular lifestyle and if a chef were on standby in the mansion, I will going to be seized by the urge where I have to return to the mansion. That would just compromise my freedom.
「Would it be better to just eat out or order some food from the restaurant?」
There were no such services at the popular dining cafeteria or restaurant, but such service is available at the high-class restaurants.
I could either go there myself with Teleport and bring all the food back or just let Elza and the others order it and bring it back.
「If you do not mind we can make it ourselves, Kureto-sama? But of course, it can not be compared to professional chefs」
「Eh? Elza and the others also can cook?」
「We have become able to cook in order to become a live-in apprentice」
I was surprised she was even able to cook by herself despite being a noble’s young lady.
Elza and the others are basically living in the mansion every day so it wouldn’t be that difficult to have them cook according to the occasion at the time.
「Well then, I’m sorry to ask you this could you please make the meal」
「Understood. It will take a little time to prepare the dinner, would you like to take a bath first? We have already prepared the bath with hot water」
「Ooh! Then I will take a bath first!」
We’ve been having serious conversations until now and I completely forget about it but this mansion has a large bath. And I couldn’t help but look forward to it when I remembered. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Kureto-sama, about your change of clothes.....」
「Aah, it’s fine. I’ll get it myself」
Saying that, I took out my change of clothes and towel from the subspace.
「……looking at it with my own eyes, I can actually feel the greatness of the magic」
「It’s very convenient. I will take out my luggage later so it would be great if you could bring it to my room」
「Thank you for your consideration」
In addition to suddenly being asked to make dinner and sort my luggage, they would probably not be able to manage everything.
It was also my fault for not taking out my luggage first, and there’s no need to hurry as it’s fine to do it later.
So I head for the changing room while bringing my change of clothes.
I put my change of clothes into a basket and when I was about to take off my clothes, I saw Elza taking off her stockings nearby.
「Wait a minute. Why is Elza following me?」
「I am thinking of washing your back and helping Kureto-sama change his clothes」
Elza declares as if stating the obvious. Is it normal for a maid-san to help the master of the house wash their back and change their clothes in this world?
Having beautiful women take off their clothes and wash their backs is a crime. And most important of all, I won’t be able to calm down.
「……I don’t need you to help me with all that」
「Understood. Please call me if you need anything」
「Aah, thanks」
When I told her that, Elza obediently withdrew and exited the room after putting on her stockings.
I can finally relax and soak in the bathtub. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
After confirming that Elza was gone, I took off my clothes and opened the bathroom door.
There, warm air drifted inside the bathroom and a faint steam was rising.
「Ooh, I knew it, it has a different impression if you add hot water into the tub!」
My deeply impressed voice echoed inside the bathroom.
As expected, a bathtub needs hot water. The impression completely changed when I looked at it without being filled.
The bathtub is a stone rectangular type. It feels too luxurious to have a large bathroom just like in the ryokan all to myself.
I quickly wash my body clean and lower my body to the long-awaited bath.
Perhaps the water’s temperature is being adjusted with a magic tool since it felt just right. The hot water envelops my entire body.
「Haa……what a nice bath」
I feel like my stiff muscles are relaxed, my blood vessels opening up and my blood circulation is improved.
It feels really good for my body to be wrapped in the warm water.
It feels like all the fatigue that I’ve felt these days flows out of me into the water.
It feels good to rest my head on the edge of the bathtub and relax.
It makes me want to always stay like this.
I ended up having a much more luxurious house than the house in Howling village, but this is also fine as it is.
「Kureto-sama, dinner is ready」
When I got out of the bath and went outside, it seemed like Elza and the others had prepared the dinner, there were dishes such as steak, plain omelet, salad, bread, and pumpkin soup lined up on the table.
「…………」
「Is there something wrong? Is there something you do not like?」
「No, this might come off as a little rude, but I’m surprised you cooked quite ordinary dishes」
I know cooking is not their main job, but I found myself expecting something a little like a small-portioned French dish somehow. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Even though I am from a noble family, I was just the daughter of an insignificant noble at a remote region. There is not much difference between me and the people around here」
「I, I see」
Indeed, the maids who work here are daughters of Baron houses in remote regions. They do not inherit the title and territory and mostly marry off to another house.
What’s more, it’s rare for the youngest daughter - such as the fourth or fifth daughter - to be able to marry a nobleman. Most of them end up marrying people with lower social standing than their family like a Knight’s house or merchant family. Or they may become the second wife or concubine of a nobleman with higher social status than their family.
Don’t tell me, these girls are sent here by Emilio with the aim of marrying them......I felt like the more I think about it the scarier it is.
Let’s stop imagining the world of nobles. Just focus on the dishes right in front of me.
「Then, I will eat them」
「Please enjoy」
While the dishes made by Elza and the others can’t be compared to the ones pros made, it was delicious and went beyond the category of home cooking. It’s so much tastier compared to the food they sell at the cheap restaurants around here.
And so I decided that when I’m staying at the mansion, I will basically have Elza and the others cook for me.
I will be able to enjoy the best of each place since they are completely different environment types and homes.
On this day, I enjoyed my life in my royal capital’s mansion and slept soundly. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
