Chapter 304: The Maid’s Faith, and the Dwarves

「…What are you doing, Rene?」(Touya)

Meeting her in the corridor by a chance, I involuntarily call out to our little house books over her head Then, she greets hness the sovereign king, good mornin-ah!」(Rene)

One by one, several books fall on the red carpet It’s not surprising, given that she greeted ain…」(Rene)

Rene starts collecting the books in frustration

「Like I said, what are you doing, carrying those books like that and all?」(Touya)

「I, uh… I’uild examination」(Rene)

「It’s only me and Rene in here, so I don’t mind if you use the usual tone …However, an exam?」(Touya)

When Rene lived in Belfast, she had been a child pickpocket whom I later employed as a maid apprentice to our household Afterward, we found out that she belonged to a noble bloodline in one the nobility of Regulus, but Rene decided that she would continue working as a maid in Brunhild and not return to the house of her latemore or less a small country, real maids are required to have considerable skills in etiquette, situation judgment, and other relevant abilities in order to serve in the castle However, Rene was still an apprentice Thus, she attends only to our personal needs, aside fro the other maids

However, it seems she’s already resolved to do this Now, this nine-year-old girl is apparently doing her best every day in order to becouild

「Cecil-san taughtthese books will shape ance is one of the criteria during the guild’s examination, so I have to prepare」(Rene)

「Hee It’s very serious… However, don’t overdo it, okay? It’s not like we’ll drive you out without the qualification given out by the uild」(Touya)

「Well, I’ll still earn the qualification properly I want to becooal is the position of the head irl has a big ambition The head maid of our household is Lapis-san, she rules at the top Surpassing her is a great deal indeed Her coh too

「Also, I’ve properly learned bodyguarding techniques from Moroha-neechan」(Rene)

「No, I wonder about that…」(Touya)

It’s the first tie swordplay now, did you? If I’ skills froic by Rin… It est o to school to study, right? It’s not good if the first-class housemaid isn’t smart」(Touya)

Rene also attends the school where Sakura’s h classes are from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, Rene still helps other ht I wonder if it’s fine to let children work this h when I had said that I’d increase her free time and holidays, Rene stubbornly refused to accept it

It looks like she’s studying to reach her goals, and that she doesn’t see this routine as being put to work…

「Isn’t it fine to take a rest from time to time?」(Touya)

「Unnn, I sleep properly every day, so I’m fine It’s Touya-niichan who needs to take a proper rest, ~you know Everyone’s worried about you!」(Rene)

On the contrary, I was scolded Umumu Am I really seen as a workaholic thatquite a bit of work to Kousaka-san and playing hooky in the ive so you want?」(Touya)

「Eh? Umm… is that okay?」(Rene)

「Of course It’s a bonus to thehard Say what you ithout restraint」(Touya)

「A bonus?」(Rene)

Not good Did she not understand what I’ve said? Looks like there are words here and there that can’t be translated into the language of this world

「Then-then…I want that ic tool that Suu-neechan has…but…」(Rene)

Suu? Aah, the ave theet one

H a smartphone to a child… but isn’t it too late to think about that, now that I’ve given one to Suu? Smartphones have memo applications and other useful functions like dictionaries pertaining to this world and the like, which ht also be useful for the exaive out at least thisout a white e】, and pass it to Rene I also hand it over a manual booklet which I’ve made just recently She should be able to fully operate the entire functionality of the device after reading that booklet

「T-thank you, Touya-niichan!」(Rene)

「Just so you know, it’s prohibited to take that sets stolen, let ry」(Touya)

「Yup!」(Rene)

After she receives the smartphone with a smile, I then pat the head of happy Rene

If she brings it to school, the proble stolen due to soh in Rene case, I believe she won’t be bullied as such Nevertheless, it‘s better to avoid unnecessary troubles if possible I guess we’ll still let the other party reflect on their action even if they are just children should the child ister everyone’s numbers aside from the rulers of other countries With this, she could call me or Suu

「Well then, do your best at the exam However, don’t overdo it」(Touya)

「Un! Thanks- for this! I’ll treasure it!」(Rene)

Rene starts running through the corridor with a trot, but she then places the books on top of her head again and starts walking gracefully

Oops! I believe I have a ht away Thus I also start to walk, though in the opposite direction

================================================================

「Yaa-yaa My apologies for keeping you waiting」(Touya)

「No, ish to express our gratitude for sparing us a few moments of your ti so, a see ground of the castle bows their head

His speech is blunt, and his face, covered with beard, is grim The muscles on his body are like boulders, the special characteristics of his race are just oozing out of hihly froht so, but they say that worow mustaches, so the distinction between their looks is hard to find

Dwarves They are a robust race living in ions The warriors are the miners, and the craftsroup of dwarves ca a letter of introduction fro of the Lail Kingdoa Lail the fourth, seedoes These people here ers from there

「So, what is it that you wanted to show me?」(Touya)

「Umu It should be quicker to see it first Hey」(Dwarf)

On top of the big cart standing behind the dwarves is apparently “the thing that they wanted ht By the coin to pull down the slightly dirtied cloth covering entire thing, exposing “that” to the sunlight

「This is…!」(Touya)

An object appeared fro ar from the neck upwards, and the cockpit located on its back is bare

Iron machine soldier Foranization “Gordian” which tried to invade Ferzen after having captured Yuuron For areally an iron machine soldier?”, but I wasis built more crudely than the iron machine soldier

That shape, simply put, is like a car chopped in the middle, with the driver’s front seat put into the torso and huge limbs attached to it… How to say it? It’s a very unrefined machine

However, this is undeniably a “Robot” Furthermore, it’s a type that can be piloted

「We na』 As a test, they are currently used for civil engineering and the transportation of ores We don’t have the intention to circulate the”, huh? If I’ht? The short, stout and rustic aspects of the machine certainly resemble the dwarves

However, hoere they able to y is fearful

「But, why are you showing this to iant soldier? We want to co that we’ve made」

Huh? Should I let the for h if they won’t lose their confidence because of the comparison

It’s too late to mention it at this point in time, but as I look at this robot, I realize that the creator of the iron enius He was an egotistical idiot though
