Episode 15 – Eating Side Dishes

In the Heart Family's mansion, once I and Roxy returned, dinner was busily being prepared. When I tried to offer my help to the housemaids, they politely declined [No, thank you].

And, since my clothes were muddy, I was told to take a bath.

Certainly, as I had been harvesting the grapes until evening, my clothes and I were awfully dirty. A young maid guided me to a bathroom dedicated for servants.

Hot water flowed into the small bath that one person could fit. There was a unique scent different from freshwater.

[This is, don't tell me!]

[Fufu, this is an onsen. There are places where the source springs in some places within Heart family territory and then it has been set-up to flow into the mansion. This is one of enjoyments as Heart Family's servant].

[It's really wonderful. So this is the rumoured hot spring…]

It was my first time watching hot spring.

I scooped the hot water that will e out abundantly with my hand.

[Although it's not transparent, but it's clean somehow]

[Yes. this water is good for your skin. Even your mud-covered body will bee almost radiant. Please put your clothes in this basket. I will put your change of clothes here.]

[Thank you]

After she finished explaining various things, she went out of the bathroom, and I took off my clothes.

Nn? I notice the door gap had opened a little. From there, it was the young maid who was supposed to have left there. While smiling, she quietly asked me.

[W-what!]

[Shall I wash your back?]

[N-no thanks! I can do it by myself!]

As I replied to her with a stiff face, she closed the door as if disinterested. I was surprised … Did you go that far to take care of me?

Well, I think that it was a good thing for the employees to make jokes to brighten the mood. This place had the same gentle air as the Heart Family's mansion in Royal Capital.

I washed off the mud that was attached to my body in the bathtub. Fuwaaa… I'm reborn.

The warmth wrapped around me and it was very fortable. I began to think I wanted to be a child of this house. Well, it's impossible though.

After I finished with the bath, I thought to help with the preparation for dinner, but everything had already ended.

As a servant of the Heart family, that was unpleasant. When I stopped one of the maids and asked them if there was anything that I could do, they said there was none in particular. I had been told that it seemed that I was to be treated as a guest by Roxy.

Finally, there was someone who called me.

[Roxy-sama called you. Please go the large room in the inner part from here]

[Understood]

I walked with my footsteps echoing, and opened a big door to the said room.

A lot of dishes were being queued up in a big table in the center of room.

And, there was only Roxy sitting at the table. The housemaids stood in the corner of the room, so they can serve at the table anytime.

I see… So that's the reason.

Without any hesitation, I joined the housemaid rows. Even if I received the guest treatment, I was still an employee of Roxy.

In that case, serving the table for my Master was my duty.

Fufufu, let's show off what we had learned in the mansion in the Royal Capital here. Wine? Soup?… e!

When I thought the time to show my skill as servant had e at last, suddenly,

[Fate, you're sitting here, you know? Not over there, here]

Roxy pointed at vacant seat next to her.

Eh, was it alright…? I saw the housemaids who stood in rows.

As I did that, they all simultaneously pointed at the vacant chair! Apparently they’re telling me to hurry up and sit down.

I gave-up and sat on the seat to the right of Roxy. Somehow, it didn't feel right. In the Royal Capital, I ate meals together with the fellow servants.
