56 Episode XVI: Working hard as a new maid, second part (1/2)

You've been hired, and it's my first day of work.

All right, I'm out.

Have a good day.

Auntie.

What is it?　Now go.

Thank you for everything.

With that, I left the orphanage.

I left the orphanage as fast as I could because I felt I would cry if I saw the woman's reaction.

From today, I have to live and work.

Then I won't be able to see her face for the time being.

I am really sad. .......

But there's no point in being sad any more, so I'll change my mind.

To avoid making her sad, I want to work hard and become a full-fledged maid.

And finally, I've arrived at the place where I'm going to work.

”Phew.

I caught my breath.

Nice to meet you.

So I said yes.

When I walked in, I saw some maids and a butler.

And they all looked at me.

Huh?　What am I doing here?

Oh, you must be Bell.

I was just checking my clothes when a man came up to me.

”Yes, ma'am. This is Bell.

Amelie has told me about you.

Miss Amelie?

Who is it?

Um, ......, the woman who was interviewing me.

Oh, I see.

You made a decision right away when you saw me, didn't you?

That's good to hear. Amélie should be here soon, 'Ah, Belle!

I heard a familiar voice interrupting the man's speech.

I turned to look at the voice.

'I've been waiting for you!　Come here.

Miss Amelie said, and pulled me somewhere else.

'Yes, put this on.'

Miss Amelie said and handed me some clothes.

”What's this?

It's a maid's uniform. Try it on.

I understand.

Then I put on my maid's uniform.

'Yes, that's cute!　Belle's is the best because she had hers built extraordinarily pretty.

'Um, ...... why are you being so good to me, Amelie?'

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking of having you as Master Leo's personal maid .......

Huh?　Your personal maid?　Me?

'What are you talking about?　There's no way I can do that.

'Well, ...... Master Leo is only eight years old, and in the next couple of years or so he'll have to go to the dorms.

Yes, sir.

'So I'm supposed to take one of my personal maids there ...... but I thought it would be better if Master Leo had a friendly maid anyway.

Yeah, and why me?

Aristocrats don't like beastmen, do they?

'From what I've been able to find out, Leo-kun is supposed to like beastie girls.

'Oh, really? ......

That's why you were so happy to see me as a beastman at the interview.

Yeah. So say hello.

Yes, sir.

Then ...... variously Amelie gave the entire maids a course, and in the evening it was time for her employer, Master Leo, to go home.

Now all the butlers and maids are neatly lined up and waiting for Master Leo to return home.

I'm feeling very nervous.

Now my master, whom I will serve for a long time, is coming in.

What will he be like?

I hope you're a scary person ...... or a kind person .

At any rate, I'm not going to make a mistake. .......

And finally, Master Leo came in at last .

I said, ”Welcome home, Master,” as I had learned to do, and thanked him.

”Well, ...... I'm Leons Forster. You'll take good care of the house from now on.

Leo-sama returned the greeting politely.

This surprised everyone.

I was also amazed at how many times I was advised by my seniors during the course to be careful because all the aristocrats are pompous and have a lot of temper tantrums .

But I'm glad to hear that.

From now on, I'll be working alongside you for a long time, so there's nothing better than having a gentle master.

And now the time has come for me to be introduced to Leos.

Amelie called me into the room where Master Leo was.

”This is Belle, who will be Master Leo's personal maid.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Amelie introduced me as soon as she walked in, so I got flustered and made a funny greeting .

Oh, I've done it. ...... Now they must have thought I was a bad maid. .......

Leo-sama will stare at me without saying a word.......

Maybe I've pissed him off after all: .......

Then Amelie warned Leo, ”Leo-sama, you shouldn't stare at a girl so much.

And Reo apologized, saying he was sorry.

Huh?　You're not angry with me?

Then why was he staring at me so intently ......?

”But I'm glad to see that Master Leo seems to like it. It was worth the hard work.
