100 Third: Im going home. (1/2)

Then we finished lunch and transferred to the Teito's house .

Okay, I'll be off then. I'll probably be back in an hour or two.

Okay. Okay. I will be waiting for you.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

I said that to Mr. Edwan, and I transitioned to the Imperial City house with Sherry and Leena.

When we transitioned to the front door of the house, I rang the doorbell .

''Yes . Who are you?　Huh?　Dear Leo: ...... How did you end up here?

Oh, my God, I thought I gave her the day off, but then Belle came out.

What's Belle doing here?

Well, ...... they're running out of cooks over there, so I'm going to take them. So I've decided to take him with me.

Oh, I see. Mr. Sam is in the kitchen.

'Okay ......, but why is Belle here?　I gave you the day off, didn't I?

I asked a question, and Belle looked apologetic and answered .

'Well ...... I'm not comfortable with not working ......'

Are you serious?

'Oh, really? ...... Did you go back to the orphanage?'

'Yes . I couldn't stay long enough to get out of the way, but I'm back.

Then that's great. So, if you're working here anyway, will you come with me and work over there?

'What?　Are you sure?

Yeah. I need you to take care of Shelly and the others.

We still don't know if the maids over there are safe or not, so it's safer to leave it to Belle .

'Hey!　If you'd just shut up and listen, what are you talking about!

Shelly, who'd been waiting in the back for us to finish talking all this time, yells at me.

”Oh, I'm sorry,

Come to think of it, it's not very polite to ask them to take care of him in front of him .

And although Belle and Shelly have gotten along better ...... they're still far apart.

I don't mind that you're taking Belle with you. I don't like the way you said that I can't take care of myself. Besides, you have a maid over there, don't you?

Yeah, but... You can't trust him.

I can't leave you two in charge of someone who doesn't know who they are.

'What?　What are you talking about?

Oh, I'm sorry, that was a gaffe.

'Oh well, Leo, you have an idea, so let's just follow it.

I was wondering how I was going to fix Shelly when Leena came to my rescue.

I'm sorry. I'll tell you why later.

...... All right. You'll have to tell me later, I promise!

When I apologized, Sherry gave it up.

Seriously, Lena's been a big help to me all year.

I'm gonna need my strength, too.

I promise. So, will you be maid to Sherry and Leena for a couple of months?

I understand.

I promised Sherry that I would ask Belle to be my maid, and she immediately agreed.

”Thank you. So why don't you go and get ready to go over there, Belle. In the meantime, I'll go visit Sam.

So we said that and headed for the kitchen where Sam was working.

Mr. Sam, are you there?

I peeked out into the kitchen to look for Sam and was able to find him quickly .

'Hmm?　What's that voice?!

Sam recognized my voice and came over soon after.

'Long time no see. Do you have a minute?

”Yes. Okay. Do you have any new ingredients, perhaps?

New ingredients. ...... Next time you're in the Devil's Forest, look for them and oops.

It's forbidden to go into the Demon Woods. This time I want to take a couple of cooks with me to my new territory.

Oh, I see. Then ...... hey!　Emma and Jim!

Sam called out their names to the kitchen and a man and a woman came out one by one .

They were both young and very vivacious .

Yes, sir. What is it?

Master Leo wants to take you to his new territory.

”Oh, really?

Oh, she's in perfect rhythm.

Yeah, I'm supposed to leave soon after this, you okay?

If not, I'll come back tomorrow to get you.

That's okay. I'll go get ready right now.

They were in perfect synch with each other and had left in a hurry.

''Those two have a passion for cooking that makes them one of the best cooks here, so I'm sure they will do well over there too.

It's not your arm, it's your passion: .......

You're looking at it differently, Sam.

Yeah. Well, that's good to know. Well, I'll be back in two months or so.

''Yes . I'll have my cooking skills up by then, so stay tuned.

Okay. I'll look forward to it.

When Sam asks you to do something, you expect it to happen.

Can we have some of that food?

I was licking my tongue, thinking about two months from now, when Shelly joined in the conversation.
