Chapter 256 Lets Go Splurge (1/2)
The 24th day of the Wind month. The day after receiving the invitation to the Six Kings Festival and was shocked by the contents of the invitation…… I decided to not think anymore about the headache-inducing memorabilia for now.
I’ll just ask Isis or the others about their intentions the next time I see them though……
As I finished my daily routine of brushing Bell with these thoughts in mind, I was leisurely looking around the large garden when I heard a voice.
[Good morning, Master!]
[Good morning, Anima…… Are you also working today?]
Anima, dressed in her usual black military-style outfit and wearing a fur cloak, greeted me with a neat salute.
Anima is apparently…… or was supposed to be according to the person herself, my servant, but since I don’t have any particular work for me to give her, she usually helps out with the work in Lilia-san’s mansion.
Sometimes, she’s in charge of the mansion’s security and sometimes, she’s the gatekeeper. It all depends on the day.
Perhaps, because she’s naturally serious about her work, I’ve honestly never seen Anima not working or training.
[No, I don’t have any work today, so I’m going to train!]

[……Errr, do you ever take a break?]
[……Take a break? Ahh, you mean rest! Yes, I get some rest for about “four hours a day” to sleep and eat!]
[……………..]
That’s weird…… What Anima just said was completely weird.
I mean, if what she said is true, that means Anima is working or training for almost 20 hours a day…… No, what kind of black company is this place?
Lilia-san has made sure that her servants have a good amount of days off and break time, and I’m sure they even have proper work shifts established…… So she shouldn’t be working in that ridiculous amount of time.
[……Anima, what do you do during your breaks?]
[Hahh! I’m making use of it to temper myself!]
[That…… Even on your day off?]
[Yes! So that Master wouldn’t ever be ashamed to call me his subordinate, I’m always devoting my time to improving myself!]

[……………….]
I’m now convinced…… This woman isn’t getting any more rest than Lilia-san does. She’s saying that other than when she sleeps and eats, she’s either working or training…… N- No, would it be fine if the person herself likes it?
[Anima, don’t you have any hobbies…… other than training?]
[……Hobby? No, I have dedicated my everything to Master, and I have no need of time that is spent on my own preferences!]
[……………….]
This is no good, this woman is too serious. Hmmm…… For me though, I’d like it if she relaxes a bit more…… This is difficult.
I’m sure she will obey if I order her to do it, but in that case, she would completely not know what to do with her breaks.
[……Anima, you don’t have any work today, right?]
[Yes!]
[Then, since I’m going to the city, will you come with me?]

[Hahh! Roger that! I will carry out my duties as baggage carrier and guard will all my might!]
[No, this isn’t some kind of duty…… Hahhh……]
To begin with, I have my magic box, so I don’t need any to carry my luggage or anything like that…… Well, for the time being, let’s go out.
And thus, that’s how Anima and I went out to the city……
[……No, Anima. Why are you walking behind me like that?]
[Eh? H- However, as your servant, it’s rude for me to stand next to Master……]
[No, you’re not being rude…… rather, I’m being bothered by it, so walk beside me.]
[……U- Understood. If Master says so……]
I called out to Anima, who was really acting like my guard, or rather, my servant, walking in a distance from behind me, and told her to walk next to me.
Thereupon, I incidentally glanced at Anima’s attire…… the black-military-styled clothing that she usually wears.

[Hey, Anima…… Don’t you have any other clothing?]
[Other clothing? I have six identical outfits like this though……]
[Okay, let’s go shopping for some clothes!]
[Eh? Y- Yes! I’ll be with you!]
It seems that Anima really doesn’t have anything in mind other than work and training, as even her clothing was just multiple copies of the same clothes.
Maybe I’m just being prejudiced, but it feels like she’s a soldier in many ways……
[Rather, if that’s all you have…… What do you do when you sleep?]
[I’m not really wearing anything when I sleep though?]
What did she just say…… Anima is sleeping naked? N- No, well, I know that there are people like that, and if I think about it, for Anima who is a former Black Bear…… I guess it’s more natural for them to not wear clothes, right?
Well, what she wants to do when she sleeps is for the person herself to decide, but I might as well buy her a nightgown.

In the meantime, we ended up at the clothing store.
