52 CHAPTER XII EXCLUSIVE Maiden (2/2)
'Yes, ...... and what does my personal maid look like?'
I'll go get him now.
Uh-huh.
You're the maid who's going to be by my side from now on: .......
I'm kind of nervous .......
Then, a little while later, Amelie brought in a girl.
”This is Belle, who will be Master Leo's personal maid.
Yo, nice to meet you!
I gasped at the maid who greeted me with a waddle.
Because ...... the maid who was introduced to me has beast ears (dog ears)!
If you look closely, there's a tail, too: .......
That means this kid is ...... some famous beastie!
'Master Leo, you shouldn't stare at a girl so much,'
Oh, I'm sorry.
I noticed when he told me that I had been quietly watching him for a long time, and he was terrified of me.
But I'm glad to see that Leo-sama seems to like it. It was worth the effort to find out.
'What? What did you find out?
It's about what kind of maid Master Leo prefers.
”I don't know what that is, either!
What do I have to look up to find out?
Maybe you have more sophisticated appraisal skills than I do?
''I didn't understand it at all either, but the head maidservant at the mage master's place told me that the heroes liked the beastmen's personal maids very much, so Leo-kun, who looks like the heroes, must like the beastmen too.
'What? Do we have a beastly maid in our house?
If I recall, they were all human beings in the house, weren't they?
The man retired about ten years before Master Leo was born.
'Oh yeah - I'm just like my grandpa: ......'
Sure, my grandpa from a previous life might get excited when he sees a beastly man, just like me: .......
I want to touch those beast ears later.
Yes, maybe Leo-sama will be a hero someday.
Hero or .......
May no incident or disaster befall me that would make me a hero.
Thank you. And thank you, Belle, for your continued support.
'Yes, sir! Yo, nice to meet you.
I knew it was wacky .
He's cute. .......
Yeah.
How old is Belle?
You don't look like an adult, do you?
”Um, ...... I'm ten years old.
'What? You're almost as good as me.
Is it safe to work?
'Don't worry about that either. You can work in this country from the age of ten, and I'll train you to be a perfect maid by the time Master Leo gets into the dormitory.
Yeah, yeah. Well, nice to meet you.
Well, you have two more years to go, so you don't have to worry about it: .......
'Yes, sir. Well then, now that we've gone through the whole briefing, you can go to Sam's place.
Uh-huh.
What's the story, really?
I don't know why I was licking my tongue the other day. .......
Then I walked into the kitchen, suppressing my anxiety.
'Here I am, Sam,'
Oh, Master Leo. Thank you for coming.
I was cooking with my guys when Sam found my voice and came over to me.
”So, so, ...... what did you want to talk to me about?
I'm going to ask the question with trepidation.
Let me get straight to the point. Please, please, let me cook dragon meat!
And then Sam asked me for a lifetime of favors.
Dragon meat?
'What? What does that mean? Then I'll give you a lot of them next time you come.
I didn't know what to do with it, and I was wondering what to do with it, because I have so much of it.
Apparently, the last time you licked your tongue it wasn't me, it was dragon meat .
You should have told me right away if that was the case: .......
'Ho, really? I'm going to serve Leo-sama for the rest of my life!
Oh, thank you.
I knew it was a lifetime request.
Is dragon meat that good?
Then I'll be serving the best dragon food at my next housewarming party!
'Come to think of it, there was a party like that: ...... Yeah, I'll look forward to the dragon's food.
There's been a lot of parties lately.
Yes. I'm going to serve you the food of my culinary life, so look forward to it!
Uh-huh. I'll look forward to it.
There's something about Sam's spirit that scares me: .......
