51 CHAPTER XI -- My mom is amazing.





The main subject is ...... about the maids and butlers and cooks you hire in your new house.

'Oh! Come to think of it, I hadn't thought about that at all!

 Come to think of it, maybe I should have thought about this before I remodeled the house.

 It's not easy to run that house by myself, right?
 If you make full use of your creation magic, you could make a golem out of everything: .......
 It's possible, but it's still safer to have someone there to help you out.

'I knew you hadn't thought of that. Well, that's why I'm here!
 Mom puffed out her chest, ahem.

"Thank you. So, how do I hire you?
 Will they put a sign up somewhere?
 What are we going to do?

Don't worry about that either. I've got good people with me.

'What? From where?

It's from home.
 Your parents' house?

From home? But if you bring him to me, won't you need more people over there?
 Sure, my parents have lots of maids and butlers, but the house itself is big enough for that.

That's okay, too. We only brought one of each from our home, and we can hire new ones for the shortage.

'So you're saying that the three of you will come from your parents' house and hire the shortfall?'

Yeah. You should see the three of us anyway.
 And with that, she walked out of the room.


 And then she came right back.
 He took three people with him.

 There was a woman in a maid's outfit, and two men dressed as a butler and a cook.

"Now, you three should introduce yourselves.

"Well, then, I'll take it from me, my name is Amelie. I'm going to be head maid for Master Leo from now on.
 It was a woman in a maid's uniform who first began to introduce herself.

 She's short, and more pretty than pretty, I think.
 Her hair was short and brown-haired.

"Do you remember Amelie?

What?
 I know about Amelie?
 That's right, too: ...... We were in the same house.
 No. ...... I don't remember any of that because I was so into magic and witchcraft back then. .......

'When you were a little girl, Amelie took care of you, you know?

 If you ask me, you might have seen it: .......

'Hmmm, oh! He's the one who worked his magic to cleanse my body.
 Yes, you're the first person to show me magic!
 I miss it - when I was a baby, he used to clean me up every day with magic .
 Come to think of it, what kind of magic is that?

'Oh, you're right, but ...... was that close to you when you were that little and that's all you remember? It's terrible!
 That's certainly terrible: .......

'Um, ...... sorry.'

'Well, okay, but I've been reading to him and answering his other questions, too!

'Yeah, oh, by the way, I'm sorry .......

 I'm pretty sure it was Amelie who had been following me around and keeping an eye on me since I was crawling.
 I heard she was reading to me, too, but at the time, my attention was completely focused on the magical information: .......

 I just didn't realize that Amelie was a big help to me, and she was a big help to me.
 And I don't even remember her name, it's just too bad I can't remember her name.

Okay, now let's see, Eric, please.

Yes, sir. Master Leo, this is Eric, who will now serve as Master Steward under Leo. It will be a pleasure to work with you.
 Mr. Eric gave a beautiful bow when he said that .
 'Mr. Eric has silver hair and is one of the most refreshingly handsome men I've ever seen.

'Eric is Sebastian's son. He's been trained as a gifted butler since he was a little boy, so he's a great help to me.
 Huh? Really?

Sebastian's son!
 Eric, you don't look like Sebastian at all!

'Yes, yes . My father wanted to work for Leo so badly, but with him gone, there would be no one to lead the house, so he left me in charge, even though I couldn't take his place. And I've often been told that I'm not like my father.
 Well, Sebastian wanted to go, and his son is following in his footsteps.
 And, I guess Eric isn't so much like his father.

Eric is going to be just as dependable as Sebastian is. I look forward to working with you.

Thank you for the kind words. It's nice to meet you too.
 Yeah, it's kind of like Sebastian's move.



Well, I'll let you finish up, Sam.

"I'm Sam. I'd like to be a cook for Master Leo. My favorite thing to do is eat.

 Sam had a convincing belly that his favorite thing to do was to eat.
 To put it straight, he was fat.
 Well, he's a chef, apparently.

Sam is an apprentice of our head chef and a surefire candidate to be our next head chef. But this time I brought him here because he insisted on going to Leo's.

'What? How could someone that great come to me?
 It would definitely pay better to be the head chef at my parents' house, right?
 Why are you with me, really?

My chef's instincts tell me that if you stay close to Master Leo, you'll always come up with something delicious.
 What's your hunch?
 They're trying to tap into any food memories I may have of my previous life.

Oh, yeah, I'll think of something.
 Having said that, I'm not sure I could come up with anything better than what my grandpa came up with, okay?

 I'll have to check my memory next time to see if I can remember any good food or wash it down: .......

'Hmm, and I've already recruited three of my men.

Already?

Yes. But I was on my way over today.

Thanks for everything.
 If my mom hadn't helped me out, I can only see a future where it's just me and my golem living in that big house. .......

'You don't have to thank me. You can't do that with just your kids.

It's certainly not going to happen. I didn't know it was so hard to live in a nobleman's house.

I know. There's plenty more where that came from. I'm gonna have to recruit a gatekeeper tomorrow.

Oh, he'll be fine. I've already had the house guarded.

'What? Who do you have guarding you?

It's a golem.

"Golem?

Yes, the house is guarded by a golem, too.

'Was this house ...... all those people in that armor were golems?'

That's right. I made the Mithril armor with my creation magic.

'I'd heard that Leo's creation magic was awesome: ....... I didn't realize it would be this awesome.

'Really? By the way, my new home is guarded by red golem soldiers with dragon scales.

"[D]oodles of dragons?
 Amelie and Sam, who had been quiet until now, were so surprised that they seemed to have lost their voice along with their mother .

 Eric, as usual with Sebastian's son, didn't say it out loud, but he still looked surprised.

 And I don't know why I saw Sam licking his tongue after he was surprised, but I didn't know why.
 I'm not going to pretend that I didn't see it!

'I wanted some materials for my last break, so I took down a stray dragon in the Demon Forest.

Did you ...... go to the Devil's Forest alone?
 Huh? You're acting strangely, Mom.

Yeah, why not?

Then you know what the Devil's Forest is like?

''Um, ...... a place where even an A-level adventurer would have a hard time coming back alive?''

You know what you're doing.
 Yeah, I know this one. Holy shit.

Do you need a little lesson?

"Well, ......, I don't think you need .......

I knew you'd need it.
 My mom's eyes glazed over.

'Hi, I need it.'

 Then he lectured me for an hour .

''The Demon Forest is a place where even adults can't return alive, and no matter how strong you are, you're still a child, there's no way you're going to enter the Demon Forest! I can't sleep because I'm going to be so worried about Leo now that I know something like that has happened.
 Here's a summary of a sermon that lasted an hour: .......

 Finally, I promised her that I would never go to the Devil's Forest again until I was an adult, and she finally forgave me .
 Well, it was a valuable hour of learning how scary my mother was: .......
