After leaving the inn, the next place they arrived at was an even more suspicious-looking building.

It was in good-condition; rare, for a building in these parts, and there were men standing guard outside. A clearly dangerous place.

Conrad approached unhesitatingly.

When the men saw the cross-dressing Conrad, the men standing guard gave an ill-fit smile, and bowed.

“Why if it isn’t Menué-sama. Are you looking for Luboera-sama?”

“Yes. I’ve come to make another purchase. Could you perhaps let me in?”

“Yes. Luboera-sama said that you could enter whenever you want. Please come inside.”

The man lowered his head respectfully, and beckoned the cross-dressing Conrad into the building. It was then, that he first noticed the boy in the butler outfit behind Conrad.

“Menué-sama, who might this child be?”

The moment they saw the child, the men became a little more guarded. They lowered their stance a little, and moved their right hands behind their backs. There was probably some weapon hidden back there.

Conrad spoke to them in a small voice, that seemed to have not noticed this fact.

“He’s my butler. Aren’t you, Sos.h.i.+a?”

Sos.h.i.+a. It was the alias that they had prepared in advance for her.

Fii had been standing with her head hung bashfully. When Conrad called for her name, she lowered it further into a tiny nod.

‘Sos.h.i.+a’ was supposed to be a mute.

“I’m sorry. This boy can’t speak.”

“A butler… is he…”

“That’s right. Isn’t he such a good boy?”

“Yes. You have very splendid taste,” replied the man with an ingratiating smile.

How could such a young boy be able to fulfil the job of a butler. Not only that, one that couldn’t speak.
