52 CHAPTER XII EXCLUSIVE Maiden




 
 It's only been a month and a little over a month since Mom came.

 It's been a busy day since then.
 I bought a lot of stuff for our new house.

 We bought furniture, household items, dishes, etc. .......

 The furniture arrived a month after we ordered it.

 Isn't a month to do it by hand?
 Sure, it's early, right? I mean, but do otherworldly craftsmen have any special skills or abilities?
 I'll ask someone else next time.

 And today is the day to meet the maids, butlers, and cooks that you are looking for.

 Why today? Because Amelie and Eric were busy with interviews until yesterday.
 The number of applications was much higher than they had asked for, and it took them a long time to choose: .......

 What's so attractive about being a servant of a baronial family?
 I can't help but think about that, but rather than a baron, the Forster family was apparently very popular.

 The brave man is so popular in this country and this world that it's a great honor to be able to work in his family.
 My grandfather is awesome after all!

 As for the cook, it seems that Sam made his decision on the hiring after just a short interview and it's already been decided.
 That's what I'm talking about: .......

 So our maids, butlers and cooks are all excellent people.

 I can't wait to see what they are like: .......

 As soon as school was over, I headed to our new house.

 And when I entered the house, I heard .......
"Welcome home, Master.

 There were maids and butlers lined up nicely .

 What can I say, ...... I'm so embarrassed!
 How about I run away for a while?
 I mean, can you do this every day?

 And how do you get all the voices together from the first day on the job: .......
 It's just that they're an elite group of people who've beaten the odds and won the high multiplier.

"Well, ...... I'm Leons Forster. Please take care of the house from now on.
 I said hello to the maids to prevent them from licking me.

 Then they looked at me and were surprised at my reaction.

 Huh? What did I do wrong?
 Yeah - did we greet each other differently?

 I shot a questioning look at Amelie, and I couldn't understand why.

 Then.
'Hmmm, everyone is just surprised at how polite Leo-sama is.
 Miss Amelie laughed and told me.

'What? Am I being too polite now?

Oh, no need to worry about it. It's just that most of the maids and butlers here have worked for other nobles at one time or another.
 It sounds like the other nobles were more pompous than they said: .......

''Then I'll stay on,''
 It's not like I'm going to get anything out of it by acting all high and mighty.

It's much appreciated, as a maid. Now, let me tell you what I'm going to do.

Yeah, nice to meet you.
 Now that you mention it, you never told me what we're doing today.

'Yes, sir . As for today's schedule, Master Leo said that after explaining about the exclusive maid, Sam has something he wants to talk to you about, so please take care of it.

Uh-huh?
 Your personal maid?
 Is that what Sam wanted to talk about?

'Well then, since there's no point in sitting here talking about it, please come to this room.
 I'm going through my head, '? I walked into the room I was led to.

"So, ...... what is an exclusive maid?
 Aren't all the maids here my personal maids?

'It's a maid like me when Master Leo was little.

Oh, you mean the maid who keeps an eye on me all the time?

Yes,

'What? But don't we need it anymore?
 I'm not at the age where I need to be taken care of all the time, okay?

'No, you don't, sir. It's absolutely necessary for the head of the house, and Leo-sama will need it even if he's about to enter the dormitory, right?

Really?
 I can still understand why the head of a noble family would need to be in the ...... school dormitory .

''Yes, I'm sure Master Leo won't have a problem, but do you think another nobleman's son will be able to take care of himself all by himself?''

Yeah, I don't know.
 Isn't that what the dorms are for, to learn those things in the first place?

'In some of the worst houses, people can't even wear clothes without a maid to dress them.

Yeah, right: ......
 Are you kidding me? But then, it's going to be a matter of life and death if you don't take a maid with you: .......

''Well, the lower nobles can't afford to take their maids to the dormitory, so it's optional.

I see. ......

So, I'm Master Leo's personal maid... ......

'Oh, speaking of which, what are you going to do? Will Miss Amelie do it for you?



No, I'm the head maid. I can't work at the school away from home.

'Yes, ...... and what does my personal maid look like?'

I'll go get him now.

Uh-huh.
 You're the maid who's going to be by my side from now on: .......
 I'm kind of nervous .......

 Then, a little while later, Amelie brought in a girl.

"This is Belle, who will be Master Leo's personal maid.

Yo, nice to meet you!
 I gasped at the maid who greeted me with a waddle.

 Because ...... the maid who was introduced to me has beast ears (dog ears)!
 If you look closely, there's a tail, too: .......
 That means this kid is ...... some famous beastie!

'Master Leo, you shouldn't stare at a girl so much,'

Oh, I'm sorry.
 I noticed when he told me that I had been quietly watching him for a long time, and he was terrified of me.

But I'm glad to see that Leo-sama seems to like it. It was worth the effort to find out.

'What? What did you find out?

It's about what kind of maid Master Leo prefers.

"I don't know what that is, either!
 What do I have to look up to find out?
 Maybe you have more sophisticated appraisal skills than I do?

''I didn't understand it at all either, but the head maidservant at the mage master's place told me that the heroes liked the beastmen's personal maids very much, so Leo-kun, who looks like the heroes, must like the beastmen too.

'What? Do we have a beastly maid in our house?
 If I recall, they were all human beings in the house, weren't they?

The man retired about ten years before Master Leo was born.

'Oh yeah - I'm just like my grandpa: ......'
 Sure, my grandpa from a previous life might get excited when he sees a beastly man, just like me: .......
 I want to touch those beast ears later.

Yes, maybe Leo-sama will be a hero someday.
 Hero or .......
 May no incident or disaster befall me that would make me a hero.

Thank you. And thank you, Belle, for your continued support.

'Yes, sir! Yo, nice to meet you.
 I knew it was wacky .
 He's cute. .......

 Yeah.
How old is Belle?
 You don't look like an adult, do you?

"Um, ...... I'm ten years old.

'What? You're almost as good as me.
 Is it safe to work?

'Don't worry about that either. You can work in this country from the age of ten, and I'll train you to be a perfect maid by the time Master Leo gets into the dormitory.

Yeah, yeah. Well, nice to meet you.
 Well, you have two more years to go, so you don't have to worry about it: .......

'Yes, sir. Well then, now that we've gone through the whole briefing, you can go to Sam's place.

Uh-huh.
 What's the story, really?
 I don't know why I was licking my tongue the other day. .......

 Then I walked into the kitchen, suppressing my anxiety.
'Here I am, Sam,'

Oh, Master Leo. Thank you for coming.
 I was cooking with my guys when Sam found my voice and came over to me.

"So, so, ...... what did you want to talk to me about?
 I'm going to ask the question with trepidation.

Let me get straight to the point. Please, please, let me cook dragon meat!
 And then Sam asked me for a lifetime of favors.

 Dragon meat?
'What? What does that mean? Then I'll give you a lot of them next time you come.
 I didn't know what to do with it, and I was wondering what to do with it, because I have so much of it.
 Apparently, the last time you licked your tongue it wasn't me, it was dragon meat .
 You should have told me right away if that was the case: .......

'Ho, really? I'm going to serve Leo-sama for the rest of my life!

Oh, thank you.
 I knew it was a lifetime request.
 Is dragon meat that good?



Then I'll be serving the best dragon food at my next housewarming party!

'Come to think of it, there was a party like that: ...... Yeah, I'll look forward to the dragon's food.
 There's been a lot of parties lately.

Yes. I'm going to serve you the food of my culinary life, so look forward to it!

Uh-huh. I'll look forward to it.

 There's something about Sam's spirit that scares me: .......
