When Kaijin left for the royal castle, a couple of men and women were holding their heads in a room of Kaijin's mansion.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with them. A large bag was placed on the table in front of the chair where they were sitting.

You are going to be able to find out more about this.　How much did you say this was worth?
They said it was all about 200,000 rupees...
1R is... about 100 yen, right?
Yeah.
....
....

　In the bag in front of the two of them was the money that Kaito had given me to use for shopping and such. Since white gold coins and the like are useless unless you are in a very high-class store, there are various coins mixed in, but the total amount is 200,000R ..............................about 20 million yen in Japanese yen.

...What do you think?
My fastidiousness is ... too much.
...of course.

　At Kazuya's words, Akari also returned the words, feeling as if her beloved son had become a distant presence.

I feel too much of a sense of helplessness.
I know. I want to do something about it, too.
Are you still doing housework or... you know, helping that Mr. Illness?
You can't.........he is the god of housekeeping. Even if I helped, it would only get in the way of the job and would result in more work.

　Yes, what the two of them were worried about was their current treatment. First of all, as a basic premise, the current Kaito is a tremendous millionaire by Akari and Kazuya's standards.
　To be honest, even if you don't work, Kaito doesn't mind letting you both live in the mansion and will give you money if you need it.
　But for the still young Akari and Kazuya, it's hard for them to feel that they are in the care of their son for everything. But that doesn't mean they have a good idea, so they left the room together to go out in the garden for a change.






　As they walked down the wide corridor, they saw a familiar figure walking in front of them.

Oh?　
Anima-chan.
"...actually...

　The one who walked over was Anima, who served as a squire chief and was in a position where she could be called the organizer of Kaito's mansion. Of course, Akari and Kazuya have already met, and my impression is that they are "trusted subordinates" by Kaito.
　And also Anima, since they are Kaito's parents, treats Akari and Kazuya with the utmost courtesy and courtesy, so from the point of view of the two of them, they are easy to consult with.
　Therefore, they decided to discuss with Anima what they had been thinking about until now.

　After listening to the two of them, Anima put her hand on her chin and opened her mouth with a thoughtful expression on her face.

''........I see, I understand what you're saying. However, in the current situation, it's difficult to fulfill the wishes of the two of you.
Ugh, I wonder if that's what it will be?

　In fact, the two of us couldn't come up with a good idea even after discussing it together, so Anima's response could be considered as expected. Akari lightly shrugs her shoulders.

It's not just a matter of doing a job, there are plenty of ways to do it, but.......the two of you are still not fully accustomed to this world. I think it will take some time for the two of you to get used to the differences in common sense. The master also said that it took him a certain amount of time to get used to the world, and if you think about it that way, going out and working in the present situation would put an extra burden on him.
"...and...
If that's the case, the idea of working inside the mansion is also on the table, but as long as Illness-dono is here, no matter what happens, as far as the two of you are concerned, it's inevitable that he'll be a drag.
...yes.

　To Anima's words of explanation while firmly raising her options, the two of them nodded their shoulders together with their shoulders slumped without any room to argue.
　Seeing the two of them, Anima smiled a little annoyed and continued to speak after she was a little troubled.

''........But I understand the feelings of the two of you. I can't think of a good way to do it myself, but if it's your master, he might be able to offer you a good way. I will talk to master about it myself.
'Ah, Anima-chan thank you!
No, please don't worry about it. I'll see myself out of here.
You going somewhere?

　When Akari thanked Anima for telling her that she would talk to Kaijin about it, Anima smiled lightly as she told him, and then she was about to head towards the doorway, replying to Kazuya's question that she heard before her.

''Yes, there are several merchant associations and stores in the King's capital that are looking for a loan, so I'm going to go on an inspection to determine whether or not they are acceptable. I will be back before your master returns from the castle, so we can talk about the two of you at that time... then...

　Saying that, Akari muttered to herself while looking off Anima's back as she lightly bowed her head and then walked off, muttering to herself.

''........hmmm. Anima-chan, you're so cool~ I feel like a woman who can do her job. With that, she's younger than me, right?
Yeah. I can understand why a pleasant person would rely on you.









　At the same time that his parents were talking about such things, Kaito, who was riding in the carriage to the royal castle, spoke to Alice, who as usual would be nearby.

''........Hey, Alice.
What's up?
I've decided to live in this world forever, so... I guess I should get a job or something, right?

　It was, oddly enough, similar to what her parents had been discussing with Anima.
　Hearing those words, Alice appeared next to Kaito.............................and smiled with a smile so gentle that she could be called the Holy Mother.

'Alice-chan is fully on Kaito-san's side, and I'm willing to do my best to affirm and support Kaito-san's wishes, basically. But if you'll let me give you my opinion on that........
If I may?
The world will be in unprecedented turmoil, the world economy may collapse, the death toll may be exorbitant, and Alice will be too busy to die in a straight line of overworked deaths. ...Seriously, please don't think that's a stupid idea.
........................what?
