My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World

Chapter 726

I listened to Sebastian’s complaining

Apparently, wanting to be hired by me and leave the mansion was causing some problems.

Ractos was about an hour away by horse, but it would take most of the day if you walked.

And depending on how busy you were in town, it might be difficult to return on the same day.

But on the other hand, there were not that many people in Range village. And it was even more far away from Ractos. It did not seem very convenient to me.

Still, at least there would be people to talk to who were not the people that you worked with all day.

Also, perhaps it was more stressful, working in such an important household… Even though this family was not that strict when it came to such things.

“Also, it would be difficult if they ever wanted a family…or their own house.”

“Ah… I suppose there is little opportunity to meet people like that.”

In that case, even a small village meant there could be a chance that you would meet someone.

And if you decided to marry and have children, it would be easier to do that in the village.

“Another reason is Leo and Sherry. Liza as well.”

“Ah, I see. They are quite popular with the servants.”

Sometimes, when they had free time, the servants would come out in order to pet Leo.

“They like you too, Mr. Takumi. Some even wish they could help you more, instead of it just being Gelda and Lyra.”

“Me? I can’t imagine why…”

“Because you never ask for anything like it is an order. And you have Leo and the Gift. And though you are clearly Lady Claire’s favorite, you do not act self-important. I suppose they can see a stable future under you. Hohoho.”

It was good that when it came to work, they had that kind of trust in me.

Even if the pay was good, if they were made to work endlessly, like I had once done, they might get sick. And the effort would be for nothing.

There was no point in risking your health, even if it was a job that you enjoyed.

“I don’t really know if I am popular…”

“Well, I think most of them would feel more secure if you and Lady Claire were to be together…”

“What!? Ah…I suppose there might be rumors. Are you sure?”

From their point of view, perhaps watching us was like watching a drama unfold.

And while she was the daughter of a duke… Perhaps they still thought of such things…

“Servants are still human. Even I have my own expectations.”

Yes, you made that quite clear, along with Mr. Ekenhart! And I also made myself clear. So there is nothing to talk about.

“Hah… In any case, I understand what is happening now. But what can be done?”

“Nothing.”

“Huh? Then why did you ask me about it?”

“Ah, I just wanted to complain. You can ignore me if you like. As you said before, it’s good that they are motivated. I just have to make sure they are managed properly.”

“…I was going to give it some serious thought…”

“Hoho. It is just idle gossip from an old man.”

…So he was just here to kill some time then.

I didn’t mind just listening to him. However, he didn’t have to make it seem like he was confiding in me seriously…

Though, I suppose it was just my assumption, because he tended to do that.

He was laughing with amusement now. Did he have nothing better to do? The interviews were coming up… Perhaps he just liked making fun of young people to take his mind off of his work…
