Vol 2 Chapter 26 (1/2)
Although Souji was surprised when the first intervieas hired, after interviewing a few ed to be suitable by Yoyo and they were all rejected
When an Ikemen appeared, Kaina said, “Ara, an ikemen!” and her cheeks loosenedYoyo however didn’t judge from the face and performed the same question-answer session which resulted with the ikeood when he saw the ikemen’s depressed face“How many are left?”
“H to this information…… only one left”
“Well, hiring is not restricted to today only ~, so isn’t it an okay even if we only found one person?”Souji shrugged his shoulders when Kaina said that“Mother, please say that after we are done interviewing the final person”
“Ah, sor~ry I slipped that out because current flow made it seem like it’s decided already~”
“Good grief…… next person, please”When the last person entered the room, all three of them were taken aback Anyone would have had the same reaction The one alked in was barefooted, pechi pechi, had a strange appearance, ―――――――――――― and was a little girl“ e-excuse ive up after all!”The girl said that and tried to leave only to be called back by Souji Thus the girl halted and turned towards Souji She blushed and said, “Uh~”“F-For the ti, please sit in that chair Okay?”He was perplexed about whether to be formal, but in the last stateirl feel at easeThe girl’s eyes wandered around suspiciously She nodded and sat in the chairEven though they had interviewed irl was the most extreme She wore clothes with shells attached to it and wore transparent raiment over her head Moreover her expression that just like how a lost puppy was accentuated by her bare feet(I certainly told them to let in any applicant, but there should be a limit…)Regardless, Yoyo said she wanted to see all of the interviewees, so Souji told the maids to let in anyone that had coirl“U, may I hear your name?”Though there ardness, it was necessary to continue the interview When Souji said that, the girl twitched and had a frightened expression, with her“I-I am here…… that is…… because I hear can live here…”
“Eh? Living here? Ah~ well, if you are accepted you can work as a live-in employee because there are excess rooms in this mansion”
“I-Is it really okay for Eu to live here?”The girl’s eyes were filled with a tiny hope for the first time“Eu? Is that your name? Umm, there should be no problem for you to stay here if you are hired”He said so with as gentle tone as he could irl with a radiant smile, but then a shadow immediately formed in her expression“Uu…… but, but, what can Eu do?”
“Huh?”He received a shock because he was the one being questioned, and he looked at Kaina for help, but her eyes glittered in excitementAh, that syirl due to how cute she isTherefore Kaina was useless, so he looked at Yoyo Yoyo was gazing at the girl called Eu with seriousness Then Yoyo began to speak“Hey, you, are you from the Aquatic race?”
“Eh, ah, it is so”Aquatic race? Though the transparent feeling co from Eu is certainly a trait of the Aquatic race, why did she leave the sea and couess the reason she wants to live in this mansion“Basically, the Aquatic race lives in the sea, and I heard they can easily obtain food and dwellings there So why did you come on to land?”As expected, Yoyo was also intrigued by this question and asked the sa of Eu shoulders drooped and a tearful expression can be seen on her face“Eu is…… Eu is…… even Eu didn’t want that…… but…… sniff”
“It’s okay You don’t need to say it if you don’t want to”
“Eh? Is that okay, Ojou-sama?”
“Souji, how can you easily stick your head into a woman’s problem?”
“ haa”He could not say that rather than a wonored the puzzled Souji and continued“Well then, let e the question Are you alone?”
“Uh…… that is right”
“Then, can I interpret that you ca for a place to live in?”From what Eu said, when she wandered around in town, she saw one of the leaflets that were pasted on the wall, and she was charmed by ritten and about the possibility to live in the mansionApparently, after she cao, she wandered around because she didn’t knohat to do, and she was hungry Although she asked for food in the town, she was refused as she didn’t have any money
She asked how could she earned money and naturally was answered that she needed to work And the girl, who thought she could not live on land without doing that, wondered how she could work, and she saw the leaflet when she walked in the town“I see I understand your situation now But we are not offering a charity here And even if we thought of doing that right now, you will surely come upon the saht?”
“To return to the sea…… I don’t want to”She said those words strongly and clenched her fists Yoyo could guess that soht have happened in the sea, but just as Yoyo said before, she should not easily meddle in it“However it was just like I had said before, we are not offering a charity We won’t look after someone without any capabilities in this mansion”What Yoyo said was obvious, but probably because she witnessed the severity her words, Eu once again had a tearful expression
Souji, who’s weak towards such an expression, was driven by the i, but he knew in his current position hethat selfish All decisions rested on Yoyo’s shoulders“ I see, then I wonder what can you do?”
“ eh?”
“Tell me about yourself I will decide whether to hire you or not after that”
“Uh, that’s…… I a driven out?”
“Ara? I don’t see any reason to drive you out because I still haven’t heard anything about yourself”
“But, I was iet out when I asked for a job before”That was natural No one would want to hire an obviously suspicious-looking little girl“Is that so? However I won’t do such a foolish thing After all appearances are a trivial thing”That’s right, Yoyo was such a person“What important is whether that person can serve under me or not”What shedepended on the person’s ability“And of course the personality is also important”Eu became dumbfounded when she heard Yoyo’s words“That’s why tell s that you are capable of”
