The Maid & Butler Cafe was going well.
　Everyone has been able to serve customers consistently.

　My maids are used to it, so it's no surprise that Luca and Luna have turned into them.

　Luca, who was shy, and Luna, who was anxious about whether she could serve the customers properly, both acted like perfect maids when the time came to serve them.

　And Luke was still very popular.

　It was so bad that only the female customers who were nominated by Luke had to wait in a separate line.

　Every once in a while, Rusin and I would get a nomination.

　When I got a nomination, I served the customer with all my strength as a practice of mind-reading technique.

"What would you like to order?

Hmm, yeah.
(I'd love to try this chiffon cake, but it's kind of big.)

　I can already hear what the subject is thinking on a steady basis.

'Would you like some of this chiffon cake?　It's a little big, but it's so fluffy, I think even a young lady could finish it.

Yeah. Well, I'll take it!

Yes, sir. I'll be with you in a minute.

　The art of mind-reading makes customer service so much better.

　However, I'm going to try to be selective about when I use it because it's invading my privacy all over the place.

　There are no privacy laws in this world, so maybe I don't need to worry about it.

　And I've heard that I've been using mind-reading techniques on my sister Charles for a long time now.

　But even though she is my sister, it's not very pleasant to have all your thoughts read.

　So I'll only use it when necessary.


　However, knowing what the other party is thinking means that you know what kind of attack they are going to make.

　In combat, this ability of mind-reading is very useful.

　So, instead of giving you all the fun you can handle, let the ladies practice their mind-reading skills.



''Um, can I pick you again?''

　The girl who had picked me first came again.

This time it was in the order I served you, so you don't need to nominate me.

'Well, thank you very much.
(I was on the edge of my pocketbook, so thank goodness.)

　Because the added value is to let customers enjoy an extraordinary space - the prices are about twice as high as those charged at a normal coffee shop.

　The nomination fee is especially high.

　New customers are served by the first member who comes in.

　If you want to be a member, you don't have to pay a nomination fee.

　Of course, if you get the fee, you will be treated with more services than usual.

　You can write a letter of thanks for coming to the restaurant and give it to them.
　They may ask you to eat a meal for them.
　They may take a picture with you.

　Luke seemed to have a hard time giving those services because all of his customers are the ones who have chosen Luke to be their guest.

　Well, I'm just saying that a guy who is popular should have some trouble.

　I'm not jealous.
　I have Tina and the others.
　I'm not jealous. I've told you twice and I'm not jealous.



　Well, I'd better get to work.

"Welcome home, miss.

Ta da da, sir.

　The Maid & Butler Cafe is quite popular and the line outside the shop is quite long.

　I stood in such a line and they came back.

　Even if he didn't name me, I'd give him a little service.

　What does this girl want?

Have you decided what to order?

Yes, yes, that's right.
(I'd like to talk to you!　What a no-no.......I'm at work.)

　Well, you want to talk to me.
　I don't get nominated that much, and the store is running well.

　Somewhat better.

'You're the first young lady to come in twice, would you like to talk to me for a moment if you don't mind?

Are you sure?

Yes. My name is Halt-Elnor.

"My name is Sasha-Gre, not Sasha-Gre! It's Sasha!
(Oh, watch out ... if you say Glendale, they'll know you're royalty! 　I had to keep it a secret.)

　Ooh, what I just learned.

　I've been told that the Sasha in front of me is the royal family of this country.

　I'm sure His Majesty has a younger sister.
　The only other royalty that I can think of that is of Sasha's age is her sister.

　But she was too sickly to ever appear in front of her people.

　What do you mean?


'You must be Sasha. Thank you for coming to our store twice. I'm sorry to ask you, but why did you choose me?

'Well, that's...'
(I owe my recovery to the leaves of the World Tree!　I wanted to thank you because Hurt-san was the one who made it possible for your brother to get that World Tree leaf──and I'm not allowed to say this.)

　Sasha looks down.

　So that's what happened.

　It seems that Sasha, who was sickly and weak, was able to recover with the leaves of the World Tree that Alheim (the Elven Kingdom) gave to this country.

　That's good to hear.

　So, Sasha's wish is to thank me?
　It's the butler's job to listen to his master's wishes.

　I speak into his ear so that only Sasha can hear.

"My brother is your Obersturmführer. I'm sure you've been in touch with him, so I'm aware of some of the circumstances. I'm glad to hear that you've recovered well, Sasha.

What?

　I pretended that I knew about Sasha.

　Well, even if my brother confirmed it, Cain, who has super intuition, would be able to handle it.

''.........''
(Do you know I'm a princess?　I guess that means it's okay to say thank you.)

　Sasha looked straight at me.
　She had the same eyes as King Glendale.

'Thanks to you, I'm able to go out like this. Truly, thank you.

'Fearful words, Your Highness. Your Highness.

''Well if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you some more, can I visit you after the school festival?

Of course I'm fine. But you must be ill. Would you like me to visit you?

'I'm fine. I feel perfectly fine, and I enjoy going out like this.
(I can't tell you that I actually beat my escort to come see Hurt-san, can I?)

　Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... What is he doing?

　If it's a royal guard, it should have a royal knight.
　How could you shake that off.......

''If you are able to come alone, please bring this with you.

　I say, and take out a bracelet-shaped magic tool from my pocket.

''Um, what's this?''

It is a spell that is activated in the event of imminent danger.

　I analyzed the magic tool that Tina had that trapped the magic of the heroes and the magic tool I found in the World Tree dungeon to create a magic tool that could store magic in the same way.

　Of course, it's not as good as the original, which can preserve any magic.

　It was limited to putting a few flame knights inside.

　However, with this, even if a powerful enemy attacked us, it would buy us some time.

　I had given this magic tool to my entire family.

　I'm wearing one too, just in case.
　I have a spare, so I gave mine to Sasha.

''Thank you but why are you doing this much for me?''

　Why?
　That's obvious.


"I'm your daughter's steward.
