Book 4: Chapter 24

Its because Im a Butler

Our Maid and Butler Tea House was doing quite well.

Everyone served the customers steadily.

Thats to be expected from my Maid group, but Ryuka and Luna also improved dramatically.

Even though Ryuka was shy at first and Luna was unsure of herself, they performed their maid roles perfectly once the customers arrived.

And as expected, Luke was really popular.

The girls requesting Lukes service had to form a separate line. 

Ryuushin and I also got some requests occasionally.

When its my turn, I practiced my newly found mind-reading skills so I can serve them fully.

May I take your order?

Hmm, lets see

I want this chiffon cake, but it looks a little too big.

I could steadily grasp the other partys thoughts now.

Would you like to have this chiffon cake? It may seem quite large, but it is very fluffy, so Miss can also finish it.

Alright, then Ill have that, please!

I understand. Please wait for a moment.

Thanks to my mind-reading, serving customers was a breeze.

But Im also invading their privacy, so I had to choose the timing carefully.

There was no such thing as privacy protection in this world, so there was no need to be conscientious about it. Charles had been reading my mind since ages ago.

However, even if shes my sister, it was very unpleasant to have my thoughts read without my consent.

So I plan to use this skill only when it is necessary.

However, if it is in battle, I would know the opponents attacks by reading their mind. This skill is very valuable in the face of war.

So I use my customers as practice targets, and in exchange, I would serve them to the best of my ability.

Excuse me, can I request your service again?

The first girl I served earlier came back again.

It is currently my shift, so you do not have to submit a request.

Is that so? Then, thank you.

Im glad, coz I dont have that much pocket money left.

The services and products in our teahouse had twice the price of an ordinary caf. This was due to the added value of the extraordinary set-up that customers cant experience during regular days.

Service requests were especially expensive.

Members were also prioritized when receiving customers. They dont have to pay the service request fee, too.

Since service requests are charged, there are also extra services for the customers who availed them.

These include writing a letter of thanks for their patronage, then handing it over; getting spoon-fed, taking pictures together, and so on.

Luke had to do all these things with all the girls who requested his service. Seems like he had it rough.

Well, it cant be helped, since hes popular.

Im not envious.

I have Tina and the others.

Im not envious. This is important, so I had to say it twice.

Alright, I have to get back to work.

Welcome back, Miss.

I, Im home.

The Maid and Butler Teahouse was quite popular, so a long line formed outside.

Despite that, she still queued just to return.

What is it that she wants?

Have you decided on your order?

Ah, yes! Ah, hmm

I want to talk to you! as if I can say that. Besides, hes still in the middle of work

Oh, so she wanted to talk to me.

Im not frequently requested for, and the shop also seems to be doing well right now.

If its just a bit, then it is fine, I guess.

Miss is the first customer to return, so if it is alright, can we talk for a little while?

Really!?

Yes. Im Halt Ernol.

I, Im Sasha Glen no, no, its just Sasha!

That was dangerous Hell find out Im royalty if he heard the name Glendale!

Oops, what a huge bomb.

This Sasha girl standing before me is part of this kingdoms royal family.

If Im not mistaken, His Majesty has a younger sister.

If its someone with the same age as Sasha, then I can only think of that sister.

But that princess had a weak constitution, and she had never shown herself in public.

Whats happening here?

So its Miss Sasha. Thank you very much for your patronage, and for visiting the shop twice. Please pardon my rudeness, but may I ask for what reason did you come to request my service again?

Ahm, thats

Thanks to the Leaf of Yggdrasil, I now recovered fully! Halt made it possible for Elder Brother to have those Leaves. For that, I am truly grateful. I would like to thank you as if I can say this too.

Sasha bowed her head.

So thats the reason.

Sickly Sasha recovered thanks to the Leaves of Yggdrasil sent by the Elven Kingdom of Alheim. 

Thats good to hear.

So, Sashas wish was to thank me, huh.

It is the butlers duty to fulfill the wishes of his master.

I bend down and whispered in Sashas ear.

My eldest brother is the Captain of the Imperial Guards. Due to the kindness of His Majesty, we have an idea about your circumstances, more or less. I am grateful that you have safely recovered, Your Highness Sasha.

Eh?

I revealed that I knew who she really was.

Ah, even if this matter reaches Eldest Brother, Cain will do something about it with that extreme intuition of his.

So he knew that I am a princess? So its fine even if I thank him, right?

Sasha faced me. She had the same eyes as the King of Glendale

I can now go outside, and I owe it all to you. You have my utmost gratitude.

Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness.

Ahm, pardon me, but I would like to converse with you more. Would it be possible to call on you after the school festival ends? 

Of course. However, you have just recovered. Would you like me to visit you, instead?

No, Im fine. I have fully recovered. Besides, it is lovely to walk around like this.

I cant tell Halt that I had shaken off my escort just to meet him.

Hey, what are you doing!? 

If hes an escort of royalty, then he must be an Imperial Knight.

For her to shake him off

If you are alone, then please, bring this with you. 

I took a magical tool, which was shaped like a bracelet, from my pocket.

Pardon me, but what is this?

It is a protective magical tool that is activated when you are in danger.

I analyzed Tinas protective amulet that was given by that Hero, and the magical equipment I found in Yggdrasils dungeons. Based on them, I created a tool that can store magic in the same way.

Of course, it did not have the same level of protective magic as the original.

I can only incorporate a few flaming knights inside.

However, it can stall time when they were attacked by a strong enemy.

I also gave one each to my whole family.

I also carry one for myself.

Since I had a spare, I also gave it to Sasha.

Thank you so much But why are you doing this?

Why?

Thats only natural.

Im Misss Butler, after all.
