Chapter 121 The Next Trouble Appeared (1/2)

It was the 17th day of the Water month, one day after Megiddo-san’s tempestuous invasion.

Megiddo-san made as much ruckus as could, and after saying “I’ll come again”, he left…… He really is like a storm.

The 16th of the Water month was a peaceful day, so I thought we could have another peaceful day today…… but that’s apparently not the case……

[Here, master. Tea.]

[Eh? A- Ahhh…… Thank you.]

[Master, I brought you some cookies.]

[……Ahh, unnn. But before that, can I ask you a question?]

[ [ What is it? ] ]

After confusedly accepting the tea and cookies offered to me from both sides, I put them aside…… and moved my gaze at these two people standing in both of my sides, wearing maid outfits.

I honestly don’t understand the situation at all. I have no idea why these two are wearing maid uniforms or why they’re calling me master.

[……Why are you here? “Eta-san”, “Theta-san”……]

[Master, please don’t add honorary titles to our names. Please call me Eta.]

[Please call me Theta too.]

[…..Ah, yes. So, why are Eta and Theta calling me master?]

Yes, for some reason, the red-haired twins who attacked us before…… Eta and Theta arrived in Duchess Albert’s mansion this morning in maid uniform, and for some reason, they are now calling me master.

I have no idea why this happened, so I asked, and in response, Eta and Theta got down on one knee and had their heads lowered as they answered.

[This life was picked up by master……. Then, I will use this life master picked up for master’s cause.]

[I will serve master. Serving you…… will all that I have.]

[……Ah, unnn, errr…….]

[Y- You bastards…… You just appeared out of nowhere, and now, you’re spouting incomprehensible things!]

As I am astonished at the words that they straightforwardly told me, that they wanted to serve me, the quivering Anima grabs Eta and Theta’s shoulder.

Unnn, there’s a dangerous atmosphere around me but…… If I just let them like this, I feel like I would get swept away by the situation, so I’d really like to get Anima to sternly tell them off.

Thereupon, Eta and Theta lowered their heads and got down on one knee in Anima’s direction as well.

[I apologize for the delay in greeting you, “Chief Retainer”!]

[……C- Chief Retainer?]

[The Chief Retainer is master’s best confidant…… Please guide us well.]

[T- The best confidant……]

Ahh, this is no good…… Anima has a clear look of happiness on her face.

Her mouth has been twitching since a while ago, and her cheeks are dyed red, looking like she’s feeling the peak of happiness.

[……It seems that you two surpass the others knowing that master is the best one in the world……. Good! Strive hard to be subordinates worthy of master’s name!]

[ [ Hahh! ] ]

[……Oi, you……]

It seems that Eta and That completely intend to serve me, and they don’t look like they would listen to me when I stop them now.

When I let out a sigh while slumping my shoulders in dismay, I heard a similar sigh.

[…..Three subordinates with the strength of high-ranking demons and a Behemoth…… Geez, Kaito-san, wouldn’t that make you pretty powerful already…… Seriously, how could this happen to you……]

[Now, now, Lili. That just shows how attractive Kaito-san is. Besides, it’s advantageous for us to have so many talented people staying in the mansion like this.]

[That…… may be true but……]

[Being too serious is also a problem, you know? You need to be prepared to take advantage of Kaito-san’s connections, or else you won’t be able to serve as the head of a noble family. Look, you need to be more confident and firm.]

Lilia-san was holding her head in her hands, while Sieg-san, who was next to her, gently comforted her.

Since they’ve been best friends since childhood, the two of them seem to have a good affinity with each other, and Lilia-san may even be grateful for Sieg-san’s presence, someone who doesn’t tease her as Lunamaria-san does, but gently follows up with her.

Lilia-san, who immediately regained her composure thanks to Sieg-san’s help, asks Eta and Theta to help her with her work as well, if they’re going to live in the mansion.

Eta and Theta aren’t as stern as Anima, and following Lilia-san’s words, the other servants brought them out of the room to learn their jobs.

[……Anima.]

[Y- Yes!? M- My apologies! Without listening to master’s will, I just went ahead and……]

Confirming that Eta and Theta have left, when I called Anima’s name, Anima’s shoulders twitched and she hurriedly got down on one knee, as if she thought I’m angry.

After chuckling looking at Anima like that, I put my hand on Anima’s bear-eared head and patted it.

[I forgot to mention, but thank you for what you did on that day before yesterday. I was saved because you came, Anima.]

[Fwaaahhh…… M- Mwaster’s petting my head…… I- I’m so honored!]

Although she rampaged here and there, Anima actually treated me well.

When I patted her head with the thought of expressing my gratitude, Anima looked befuddled, with tears in her eyes…… Geez, each one of her reactions is quite exaggerated.

[……Because that guy is saying it like that so smoothly, more and more people gather around him……]

[Sieg, it looks like you would be facing lots of troubles.]

[I’m ready to face that long ago.]

After patting her head for a while and then, putting my hand away, Anima looked a little regretful, but soon changed to a look full of motivation. After saluting and saying “I’ll be patrolling”, she left.

After wryly smiling about how she’s the same as usual, I turned to Lilia-san and Sieg-san and spoke.

[Speaking of which, where’s Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san….. Also, Lunamaria-san?]

[Aoi-san wants to learn more about magic, so she’s going to the magic school to listen to a lecture. As for Hina-san, just as she usually does, she went for a run. Luna has gone to pick up the mail.]

[Heehhh, so Kusunoki-san went to a magic school huh?]

[Yes, I’ve written a letter of introduction. She actually doesn’t want to enroll, just listening in to a lecture.]
