Volume 10 Chapter 23 (1/2)
10-23 Residences of the MansionSatou's here I randoine about so the popularity of a genre called 'Mansion' I also reames) where the mistress of the house is the mastermind for some reason
◇
Now then, two days after we set the carved seal board in the new hunting ground--area 74, we decided to go back to the mansion I went back to the mansion once every day with [Return] to see the situation there, but since Arisa and the others wanted to see Ms Miteruna, they're currently going back through area 4 The reason why they didn't return the day after that was to hide the space ot back earlier than the explorers ere exter the maze cockroaches when they should have been behind, so we delayed it by one day
Nana and me directly teleport to theto the stable I've confirood horses for not being surprised to us who appear suddenly I've decided to give them special-made feed as the reward It's a new one that's added with smashed corns
We leave the stable and head to the arden seemed to have noticed us and came to us They're called Roji and Annie if I'm not mistaken
”Welcome home, Chevalier-sama”
”Welcome home”
”Ah, I'm home”
The radar caught on Ms Miteruna who seemed to have noticed the two's cheerful voices and then went to the entrance hall
I've already confirmed the situation of the children and Ms Miteruna with [Clairvoyance] h I can't say that they've opened their hearts, they've become better
”Welcome home, master”
”I' my absence?”
”Yes, two letters have arrived”
In the living roo to Ms Miteruna about the visitors and events here during my absence
The letters are from Viscount shi+oing back to the duchy capital the day after to me to a dinner tomorrow
Marchioness Ashi+nen invites me to a tea party the noon of the day after tohters of Selbira's influential nobles regularly attend the tea party Since personal connections helped me a lot in the duchy capital, I wrote the acceptance letter and gave it to Ms Miteruna
Oh right, I remembered about the letters
I hand over the re letters that I've written last night to Ms Miteruna She looked slightly surprised due to the bundle's thickness These are for my acquaintances in the duchy capital and the dwarves in BollhartI've written the shares for princess Menea's at the royal capital, and the viceroy's daughter Ririna's too of course
I've also written our present condition besides greeting formalities for Sera and the people whom I'm close to
Unlike for faraway place like Muno Barondoo to the royal capital, and then airshi+ps can go fro the letter is also easy The dwarf hohtly too far, but since there are o there from the duchy capital, it should be fine

The children e've saved have recovered enough to do siic potions After they've restored their ht
By Ms Miteruna's advice, the children's beds have been
The reason why those children were in such place was because they wanted a kind of grass that were growing in the stable The fruits of the grass called Tami Poppy seems to be very bitter, but it can be used as painkiller However, it contains slight toxin, so when soe quantity, their consciousness will becoic
They needed such painkiller due to the injuries they had gotten in the labyrinth For baggage carriers who have bone fractures especially, their only choices are either selling the's death The slave trader had given up on these children Since getting saved like in this case seerateful
That's not the reason ofto eh This ic tools in this mansion unlike the ht
”Then, are you going to let them stay in the mansion?”
”They don't seeo Could you teach them hoork little by little?”
”I accept I will bring them up into excellent maids”
Ms Miteruna reassuringly accepted it Quite reliable
”Right, how much do people usually pay children for labor?”
”You don't have to pay them if they live in”
According to her, in exchange of not paying theuarantee their food, clothing and shelter If you're going to hire therown up, the coh it also depends on their ability The payment is not for a day worth It's for one o up when their job description increases, or their ability improves
By the way, Ms Miteruna's wage is one gold coin a month
”Master, please give the children clothing and footwear if you're going to e expensive, but if you let thes and be bare footed, people will doubt the faon house”
Worrying about family status of a house that's just been established for several ive them clothes and footwears
”I understand Buy theiven before isn't enough, should I add it?”
”No, if master allow iven to es for underwear are needed, but it's enough to give them one clothes each If their treatments were too lavish, the servants' attitudes would becoant--”
Ms Miteruna gently reproved me I intend to tailor maid uniforms for them later, is that bad too?
”Tailoringrand nobles'cities like the royal capital and the duchy capital, there is no e labyrinth city”
It just doesn't exist, not prohibited, so I've decided to present maid uniforms to the children when they've become able to work their own job

Arisa and the others have returned For some reason, she contacted ate Looks like they've been surrounded by explorers, and can't o back here
Arisa and the others arrived one hour later
”We were crowded, it was terrible you know They're going to hold a party celebrating the safe return in the tavern tonight they said Master was also invited”
”Understood I'll go with you since I don't have any plan tonight”
