Chapter 37 What Does It Mean To Be A Maid
"Sorry about earlier. Is it okay if I call you Rosalier-san?"
"Yeah."
"So, what's your relationship with Soutome-sama?"
"Well, you see, I'm both Soutome-sama's maid and I'm also entrusted with the duties of a butler. Nice to meet you from now on."
"Oh, I see. Nice to meet you too."
Wait, when did you become my maid, Rosalia-san? And what do you mean by being a butler too? I didn't hear about that. Still, I'm happy, of course I'm happy, but more importantly, being a maid? A duty? Did people in this world use those terms from my world too? When they refer to a maid here, are they talking about that traditional type of maid? Maybe someone like me from the other side conveyed this?
No, no, no, but seriously, both of them seem scary. The way Kumeiriana-san and Rosalia-san are looking at me, they're not smiling at all. What's with this uncomfortable feeling, being sandwiched between the two of them? I seriously might want to escape. Finally, we reached the meeting place by the riverside in this tense atmosphere.
"Everyone, sorry for the wait. I am a staff member of the guild, and my name is Kumeiriana. I will guide you from here, so please follow me while staying in the carriage."
She announced, waving her hand through the window. Corbeck-san noticed, and his expression was one of surprise.
After that, we entered Watterhill, passing by the inn where I had stayed before. As a trading city, the number of inns was quite substantial. Soon, the carriage stopped near the wall-lined road.
"This is the building where you will be staying from now on."
"Wow, this is quite impressive."
We got off the carriage. There was a tall building that we looked up at. It felt quite old, but it was a sturdy building. It was three stories tall, and the first floor seemed to be a dining hall or something like a store.
"When the unloading is done, please leave the building and head to the west side, where there is a place for carriage parking and horse keeping. Everything is owned by the guild, so everything is arranged. You can leave it there as it is. Well then, I'll take my leave here. Soutome-sama, let's meet at the guild the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, thank you. Good work."
Kumeiriana-san left in the carriage. Rosalia-san and I went up to the second floor once.
"Oh, this has been cleaned beautifully. It's spacious and doesn't feel cramped at all. I wonder how much it would cost to buy this..."
"Yeah, that's true..."
"Let's see, how about the rooms? Oh, these are spacious too."
Does it look like a double room? There's plenty of room in the room I rented. There are also two sets of beds, a table and chairs. The bedding was prepared, so maybe it was prepared with the assumption that I would bring her with me? Even though it was an inn room, the window was firmly attached. I can see from this that it wasn't originally a cheap inn.
"This is it."
"Ahh. I don't think I can prepare for yesterday's today"
I looked around and found a total of 15 similar rooms. There are 20 rooms in total, including 5 single rooms. Each room does not have a bathroom, but it does have a toilet. The dining room and kitchen that we saw earlier are on the first floor. A large bathroom with separate sections for women and men.
"Is this enough?"
"Oh, that's more than enough"
Is it because she's surprised? Rosalia, your language is back to normal. Maybe she doesn't even realize it herself.
"Then, shall we leave the room allocation to Corbett-san and his friends?"
"That's right"
"I'll go shopping, but what will Rosalia-san do?"
"Ah, I(Atai)――I(Atakushi) will accompany you"
"Oh..."
It seems like she finally noticed and are trying to change her choice of words.
"Please, it's like my resolution."
"Well, if that's the case, just don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
"I know... no, I mean, do."
"I don't know how to put it, but because I'm not used to it, my back feels itchy."
We walked towards the section with food and drink markets. Come to think of it, this might be the first time I'm walking with Rosalia-san like this. Maybe it's because a Black Forest Human female is rare, but some people turn their heads to look, but it seems like no one is staring at me since I'm somewhat recognizable.
"Grains and vegetables."
"What do you mean by vegetables?"
Oh, her way of speaking has become fluent. Impressive, she's really getting into character.
"Oh, they don't say it like that here. Um, you see, in the place I come from, we use the term 'vegetables' to refer to both root vegetables and leafy vegetables."
"I see, so it's vegetables."
"That's right, grains and vegetables, and also meat, um... Rosalia-san."
"Yes."
Rosalia-san didn't look back, and while keeping her eyes on the ingredients, she responded to my call.
"Didn't you say you're good at cooking?"
"Yes, I did."
She only turned around at that moment, making a triumphant expression. It seems like she's really good at it.
"If that's the case, will you choose? What does everyone need? You don't have to worry about money separately. I haven't had the chance to use it, so I've been accumulating quite a bit."
"If I decide, is that okay?"
"Yes. It's fine."
"Understood. Well then, let's see…"
Rosalia-san seems to be enjoying shopping. There are 30 people, so it's going to be quite a lot. The Space Magic I use doesn't seem to be particularly rare in Watterhill, so Rosalia-san wasn't surprised when she put it in her inventory right after buying it.
"Um, Goshujin-sama"
"Goshujin-sama? "
"It's about you... cough. Is it about Soutome-sama?"
For a moment, this person returned to her true self and made a retort.
"So, um. Can I buy this?"
"Sure"
Rosalia-san pointed to dried fruits. They're commonly known as dried fruits. They're fruits that have been dried, losing their moisture and becoming wrinkled. Some are thinly sliced citrus fruits with sugar sprinkled on the surface. They look really delicious. They would go well with alcohol too.
"Is it okay?"
"I have no objections"
There you go.
"Excuse me. This and this..."
"Yes, sure. Oh, if isn't Saint-sama?"
Come to think of it, there are quite a few people who call me Saint-sama. Well, there's nothing to be done about it. But...
"Please stop referring to me like that..."
"Well, you know, it was thanks to you and my mom. We were in a bad situation, but thanks to Saint-sama's care, we got better... So let me say it. Thank you. Is that woman with Saint-sama is a servant?"
"Yes, I'm a maid."
"I see, I see. It's not surprising to see someone imitating Saint-sama. What a beautiful woman. I envy you. Oh, my mom will get mad, so let's stop here, okay? Right, right, I can never fully express my gratitude to Saint-sama. That's why I'll give you a lot of extra, so please buy a lot, alright?"
So, I finished my shopping. It cost quite a bit, but I don't feel like my wallet's been hit hard. I'm just casually restocking what was in my inventory. This time, I also decided to add some dried fruits. You know, sometimes you need a little sweetness when you're tired.
