212 Night tour of Mina (1/2)

The sun goes down, and at night the throwlet house, which was wrapped in bright sunlight, is wrapped in darkness.

I'm on duty to watch this evening, and I walk with the lamps with candles in the dark corridors.

I can't hear any voices that were so busy during the day.

From the second floor, you can't hear the happy roaring voices of Alfleet and Silvio, the gentle voices of Elna and Nord, leaking from the living room, and the sound of Elinora's sword waving.

The mansion is wrapped in silence that is different from the daytime.

There are some lamps on the wall of the corridor and sometimes lights with light guides, but I can not rely on it because the interior of the house is large.

This is natural because you don't have to live in the night and you don't need to light up the house more than necessary.

Aside from magic tools, using candles also requires money. It is inevitable.

However, from the perspective of me who looks around at night or is a weak maiden, I want to make the night a little brighter.

Recently, I heard that the reversi, designed by Alfleet and sold by the Triela Shokai, is in great shape. Wouldn't it take this opportunity to wipe out the lamps in the mansion and switch to a light magic device?

No, but I heard that during this time Bartolo asked for 80 stoves for the stove magic device. I heard that she wore over a hundred gold coins lightly when she combined her women's Kagura clothes, and it may be impossible for the time being.

The stove's magic tool seems to be indispensable for making fried bread and fried chicken, so if you can't buy a light magic tool, you can't help. Kagura clothes are something you never get.

Oh, I was hungry when I imagined delicious fried food such as fried bread and fried chicken.

I manage the saliva that seems to leak from the end of my mouth, and go up to the second floor with my feet that seem to go to the kitchen.

The second floor of the mansion is a private space, mainly the bedroom of Nords.

We maids understand that well, so when you're not at work, we'll keep it on the first floor so as not to disturb your time.

Of course, if you are called, you will go out immediately, but the main ones are rarely called because they hate to use maids more than necessary.

We hear that maids in other residences are called many times, are left idle for a long time, and sometimes work late because of daytime work.

However, I am glad that there is no such thing in the house of the Throwlet family.

You don't have to work late, and you can pay. And the best thing is that the rice is delicious.

Isn't the maid's strength here to be able to eat Bartolo's and Alfleet's dishes best?

Because the number of maids is small, there is a lot of work per person, but I think the working environment of the Slowlet family is very good.

The only drawback is that colleagues like Sarah and Mel are too good.

I'm a little dissatisfied with being treated like a child I can't do the best.

”I think I'm a maid that I can do better than everyone thinks.”

Try muttering while sharpening your lips.

When you go upstairs, a long corridor extends to the back.

There are lamps installed everywhere, but the lights are lonely. The deeper you go, the more darkness you feel.

”... I'm getting scared because I had a ghost story with Mel in the daytime.”

Your weak voice resounds in a dark hallway.

A maid who watches around midnight. Same situation as me now.

If you can hear footsteps from behind, it is completely the same gossip I heard.

”Well, that's not possible!”

When I muttered and walked to cheer myself, I suddenly heard a click from behind.

”―― !?”

The moment I heard the sound, I felt the heart deep inside my chest jumping up and down.

Pcho, what's the sound of today? ?

I can't move for a while with my eyes wide open, and I shout in my heart.

Then, when the heart jumps up, it looks back slowly at a slightly calm timing.

I illuminate it with a lamp, but there is nothing there.

It's just a beautiful red carpet spread as usual.

”... what is it?

I exhale.

The moment I remembered the story, I heard a sound from behind, so I was impatient.

If she was seen by Mel or Sarah, she was absolutely laughing.

It's embarrassing to be conscious of it at night, even though it's a story you shake yourself.

I will devote myself to the work of watching, to make sure that I am not surprised now.

First, let's go around the study room, storage room, and a little playground.

First, check the study room.

Pressing the wooden door makes a squeaky sound.

I don't mind anything during the day, but it seems strangely weird in such a dark and quiet time.

The study illuminated by the lamps illuminates the study wrapped in darkness.

”... I don't have anyone?”

Mutter a little like telling your hope in yourself.

If a suspicious person comes out, you can't do anything with a weak maid.

Well, because the strongest lords are here, I don't think I'll be a partner anymore, but I don't think I'll be safe. That's why I always ask that no suspicious person appear.

When you illuminate the interior of the study with the light of candles, you will find many bookshelves full of books.

I slowly move into the room to perform the work on the patrol.

Then, behind me, the door closed without permission.

”Hi!”

A short scream that is sad to the sudden noises leaks, and the body is amazed.

”And the door was closed by the wind.

Look at the door and ask me to be convinced.

”Huh? But the windows in the corridor weren't open ...? No, surely I was halfway open and pushed by the delicate airflow and closed.”

I feel like the study door was fully open, but I didn't care.

The more you think, the more scary you think.

The interior of the study is filled with a unique paper smell. There are no books or furniture in the room, nobody is suspicious.

”... No problem”

I checked the room carefully and muttered so I left the study.

Then, when I reached for the door knob to close the door, the door moved alone and closed with a slam.

“…………”

I didn't even touch the doorknob and I couldn't feel the wind.

The door moved perfectly and closed.

”... What is this? It's convenient but scary!”

I saw the closed door by myself and shook alone.

What should I do. A mysterious phenomenon is occurring in the residence of the Throwlet family. Why hasn't this happened before? This mansion is a new house just built ten years ago by Nord.

There's no curse that says that the predecessor committed suicide. But what does it mean when the door closes or opens freely?

I want to cry to Sara and Mel sleeping in the dormitory.

I want you to start right away and look around with me, saying that a strange phenomenon has occurred.

However, if you do that, you will get a reputation as a bad maid again.

I just want to avoid that.

”But I'll do my best, Mina. You're a child you can do. If you cry just because the door moved once or twice, you're a good maid.”

I will tell you so well and resume watching around alone.

I'm really scared, but not to call me a bad maid.

I walked out slowly and checked the storage room.

We kept the door fully open and looked around while checking the flickering, but this time it did not close without permission.

And the door of the next play room was stationary without any abnormalities.

After all, I wonder if the door was just a matter of concern, but I couldn't decide easily if I saw that it would move clearly.

I proceed down the corridor with my heart tightened.
