NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 32: - Quiet, the house and servants
The morning of the 15th day of reincarnation was refreshing.
“Good morning, Master.”
“Good morning.”
In front of me were the angelic faces of beautiful girls. There was no way my morning wouldn’t feel refreshing with them around.
“Unfortunately, it’s raining today. What will you do about the dungeon?”
Whether it rained or the spears fell from the sky, my awakening was still refreshing! After all, the threat to my life had been eliminated.
“Let’s take a break today. I want to explore the mansion.”
Besides, the servants will join us.
“Yes, Master.”
“Of course, Master.”
We shared a room on the third floor. It wasn’t as grand as the Duke’s room, but it was quite spacious.
Anneliese and Rosalina were in the same room as me. I suggested having separate rooms, but Anneliese insisted on staying with me. Rosalina, not wanting to be alone, also wanted to share the room. I had no choice but to agree. We placed an additional bed next to mine, but in the morning, I found myself sandwiched between the two. It made me happy, but I wished my desires would stop overriding my reason.
There was a large bed, presumably used by the previous occupant, in the room. Although it could accommodate three people, we added an extra bed. We made sure to clean the sheets properly. The bed was luxurious, but I didn’t appreciate the taste. I planned to replace it someday.
Heading downstairs, Mondark appeared without making a sound.
“Good morning, Master, Ladies.”
It’s a bit late for that, but they’re not actually ladies.
“Good morning, Mondark.”
“Good morning, Mondark-san.”
“Good morning, Mondark-san.”
“I will prepare breakfast shortly.”
We followed Mondark to the dining room.
He pulled out our chairs, adjusting them as we sat down. A butler who could do this was different!
Anneliese and Rosalina also sat down similarly. The treatment seemed to bewilder them, as they hadn’t experienced it before.
“Good morning, Master.”
“Good morning, Master.”
Melris and Jewel brought the food and placed it in front of us.
Bread, bacon and eggs, soup, fruits. There were even kiwi-like fruits. Did Gorteo-san prepare these fruits too?
“I acquired them this morning at the market.”
“The market… You’re awake so early?”
“It’s our duty as servants.”
Isn’t that a bit harsh?
“Please don’t deprive yourselves of sleep too much. Although it’s unavoidable this time, you can use the previous day’s breakfast ingredients if necessary.”
“We appreciate your concern for our health. Normally, we would follow your words, Master. However, we also have our pride in our work. Please overlook this.”
All three of them bowed.
“Understood. Just don’t work yourselves to the point of illness.”
“Thank you very much.”
I aimed for a white-collar work environment, after all.
The bread was as hard as ever, but the bacon and eggs and the soup were delicious. Melris was mainly responsible for cooking, but her skills were at a professional level. A cook is supposed to come today, but would they be able to prepare better dishes than Melris?
After breakfast, we explored the mansion.
My room was located next to the servants’ lounge on the third floor. We wouldn’t be using it, so it could be used as storage. There were five other rooms, all quite spacious, with attached servants’ rooms. Each room had a toilet and a washroom, and the servants’ lounge even had a simple magical stove for cooking.
The second floor consisted of three guest rooms (each with a servants’ room attached) and a higher-ranking servant’s room similar to Mondark’s. The upper servant’s room was the largest, about 12 tatami mats in size, and was currently used by Mondark and his wife. Their son Jewel used a separate building meant for servants.
The first floor had a large room resembling a dance hall, a reception room, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, and a corridor leading to the bathhouse.
The bathhouse, although unused yesterday, was quite large. The wooden bath could accommodate around five people. It had a magical item that provided both water and hot water, and the hot water was scalding. It was probably around 80 degrees Celsius. The water temperature was adjusted by controlling the amount of water and hot water that came out.
The laundry area was located outside with only a roof to cover it. There was a magical washing machine, but there were also tubs and washboards. When I saw the tubs and washboards, I almost commented, “Are we in the Edo period?”
The basement served as a wine cellar and a small warehouse. Of course, there was no wine. I’ve never drunk alcohol, but I might need to buy some for guests even though there are no plans for any.
In the garden, there was a separate building for the servants, as well as warehouses and a stable. There was a small garden, and the grounds were quite spacious.
The servants’ separate building was two stories high and considerably smaller than the main house. It had the size of a reasonably large apartment. There were 18 rooms in total: four 10-tatami-mat single rooms, eight 6-tatami-mat four-person rooms, and six 4.5-tatami-mat single rooms. There were bunk beds in the four-person rooms, making them quite cramped. The four-person rooms seemed to be for children like apprentices. The 10-tatami-mat rooms were designed for multiple occupants as needed, but there weren’t many servants, so private rooms were suitable. Jewel used a 4.5-tatami-mat single room.
“Master, we need to prepare servants’ uniforms as well.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“It seems it’s common to provide everything related to clothing, food, and shelter.”
It would cost more than I had expected. I need to earn money in the dungeon with full determination.
After inspecting the entire mansion, the remaining two servants arrived.
Everyone, including Mondark’s family, lived on the premises.
One was a cook named Zoppa, a chubby young man in his twenties. His appearance was heartwarming.
“I’m Zoppa. I can’t speak very politely. I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine, no need to be so nervous. Thank you.”
The way he ended his sentences with “dasu” was amusing.
The other was a maid named Kenny, a 16-year-old. She looked somewhat difficult to approach but was quite beautiful. I wanted her to wear glasses and give a sly look.
“I’m Kenny. Nice to meet you. I hope we get along. Excuse me.”
She was stuttering a bit. Although she looked like a beautiful maid with blonde hair, she seemed a bit clumsy.
“I’m a bit clumsy, so…”
I understood from her greeting.
‘I’ll leave the servants in Mondark’s hands, is that alright?’
‘Yes. Leave it to me.
‘And this. Can you get the servants’ clothes and anything else they need?
‘Thank you.’
I gave you some money yesterday, but things are a bit tricky at first.
My money is running out. I’ll start working tomorrow.
That evening. I took a bath.
It didn’t have to be this big a bath, but I went for a little swim.
‘Master. Let me wash you down.”
‘Whoa!?’
Anneliese came in naked and I was in a great hurry.
I couldn’t look at her.
Anneliese’s flabby OPPAI is purring, and OSHIRI is purring too. But no matter how many times I see it, it’s still a great OPPAI. It’s a powerful twin hill.
It’s not a man who doesn’t see this. I looked at Anneliese’s naked body without shame or shame!
