Chapter 519

It was obvious that I was nervous

“By the way, Mr. Takumi. It seems that you too are also not as nervous as you used to be.”

“Indeed… I suppose, since I’ve now been here for some time…”

The conversation suddenly moved from Ms. Claire and the others, to me.

It had now been months since I started to live in the mansion… So I was already used to being here.

Of course, there was still a lot that I didn’t know.

“Hohoho. If we were able to aid you in becoming accustomed to this place, then I would be glad.”

“If anything, everyone has done nothing but help… It is thanks to the people of the house that I am able to live so comfortably.”

“…But you struggled quite a lot at Range village, didn’t you? Hoho!”

“Haha, yes. That’s true.”

“Wuff…”

Leo was saying that it was no laughing matter, and sighed.

Indeed, it could have been a great tragedy, and it was because of Leo that everything turned out fine.

And so I patted Leo on the head to show my gratitude.

“At first, you were very nervous, when you helped Lady Claire and brought her to the mansion.”

“You could tell? Well, I had never gone inside such a large mansion before. Besides, there were so many things happening that I didn’t understand, and so I felt confused. …And Leo was suddenly so big…”

“Wuff?”

“But big or small, Leo is still Leo. And she helps me a lot.”

Well, there were a lot of large buildings in Japan as well.

However, it was different with the vast premises, and people living inside.

I had seen photos of similar houses, and I suppose you might be able to replace such houses in Japan if you looked hard enough.

As I was talking with Sebastian, Leo looked up at me as if to ask, ‘was that bad?’ and so I patted on her and thanked her.

While I had been shocked at first, everything from her gestures to the way she barked seemed the same, and so I got used to it quickly.

“I do not know how good Leo was when she was small… But yes, I could sense your anxiety at the time.”

“Was it so strong?”

While I could remember some of how I was when talking to Sebastian and the others, I had quickly been preoccupied with Weed Cultivation, magic, and other things. So it seemed like such a long time ago now.

“Well, it made sense as I talked with you. But I and the servants noticed it.”

“I see…”

“Wuff-wuff.”

So even if I pretended to look calm, it was obvious to Sebastian and the others.

I looked down, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, and then Leo barked as if to laugh.

…That’s right. Unlike me, Leo had always been completely confident.

Well, carefree?

She knew she was a Silver Fenrir, and that no one could harm her. So perhaps there was no need for her to feel nervous.

“We servants observe many guests, after all. And so we can see things. Did Lady Claire ever talk about how she has an eye for such things?”

“Uhh…I think she did. It was right after I came to the mansion. But you weren’t with us.”

“I see. Lady Claire inspects everyone who comes to work at the mansion, unless they are from the main house. As I said before, many of them come from the orphanage, so once they are adults, it has to be decided whether or not they will be hired. Of course, only a small few are chosen.”

“Indeed, there was some talk about Milina…wasn’t there?”

“Yes. Lady Claire was fine with her, but she herself did not consent. Of course, the duke will not react badly if you reject the offer to come and work for him. You are free to choose how you wish to live.”

Ms. Lyra and Ms. Gelda was from the orphanage.

Since Ms. Claire had immediately decided that Leo and I were not dangerous, and was friendly towards us, perhaps she really did have a talent for seeing a person’s true nature.

In the end, Milina was hired by me, and studied medicine. Though, she was also learning a lot from Ms. Lyra as well… All of the people that Ms. Claire approved of ended up being hard workers.

…Now that I thought about it, Ms. Claire had also seen Nick quite a lot. And she had not objected to my hiring of him.

He just had some bad luck, and was more serious than he looked… She might have seen that.

Though, I doubted that she sensed it during the first encounter.

“Aside from Lady Claire’s ability to see inside of people, we servants also strive to see through the surface that covers people. This is so that we can detect what it is that they want.”

“Well, I suppose you would not want to do anything rude towards guests, or your employer…”
