An elite maid’s morning starts at 4 AM.
Of course, I used to wake up at 4 AM even when I was a small company s*ave in my previous life.
Because of the great CEO’s famous saying that 4 AM is morning since McDonald’s starts selling their morning menu at 4 AM.
Well, anyway, thanks to the habit ingrained in my body, I’ve become an elite maid now, so I’m satisfied in my own way.
“Phew… it’s good to be young.”
My back and legs hurt, and there’s not a single part of my body that doesn’t ache, but I’m not one to collapse from this much.
Maybe it’s because it’s a fantasy world, but my stamina recovery and wound healing are faster than in my previous life.
…But where am I?
Yesterday, I fell down the stairs as soon as I arrived at the castle, so I couldn’t do anything.
But now it’s day 2.
It’s time to shed the newbie image and show off my awesome maid skills.
So first, let’s explore the structure of the castle.
It’s more accurate to call it a mansion.
It’s just an old mansion built with stone.
…I was introduced to it as a castle.
When I return to the main castle, I’ll have to argue with the madam that it’s a mansion, not a castle.
Anyway.. this is the 1st floor.
I came out of the room and walked along to arrive at the large front door from yesterday.
The building has 2 floors and it’s not as long as I thought…
The 1st floor has the main hall, kitchen, a few rooms for servants, a bathroom, a toilet, a dining area.
A few guest rooms and this is the tea party area.
For a small building, it’s pretty well-organized.
Then let’s go to the 2nd floor…
I go up the stairs that I fell down yesterday.
An office, a study, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a toilet, a workroom, and a lounge.
It has everything it needs!
Okay, let’s start with breakfast.
I go down to the 1st floor and enter the kitchen.
Fortunately, although a bit old, there are magically operated cooking tools.
.I was worried that I would have to start a fire, but I don’t have to.
As for ingredients….
“…I guess there’s no delivery here, right?”
Let’s just use what’s available for now and think about it later.
“Young Lady~ It’s time to wake up~”
Ah, she’s sleeping.
“Ahem, excuse me.”
An exclusive maid is a profession that allows one to discreetly enter the master’s bedroom even when they are asleep.
The master’s closest servant, companion, teacher, and physician.
That’s me!
I quietly open the door and enter.
There she is.
The young lady sleeping soundly on the bed with the blanket kicked out of the bed.
Sniff sniff, the sound of her breathing echoes softly in the room.
Hmm… the room is very dirty.
I must definitely clean it later.
“Young Lady.”
“Wake up.”
“Young Lady~.”
“Mmm..? What…”
“The sun is already up.”
“Please have breakfast.”
“…The sun is up?”
“Yes, yes, it’s already up.”
“I want to sleep more…”
Eh.
She says she wants to sleep more very naturally.
Of course, the young lady sleeping in bed is very cute, but…
“You can’t.”
“Good girls should go to bed early and wake up early you know?”
“…!”
Ah, she pulled the blanket over her head.
…This might be cute too.
“Just 5 more minutes…”
“It can’t be helped.”
“Just 5 minutes then, okay?”
“…”
Then, in the meantime, I will legally clean the young lady’s room a little.
It’s not ventilated, it’s not cleaned, and it’s a mess, but I’ll make it clean.
I roll up my sleeves and quickly start cleaning.
Clean here, clean there, I didn’t bring cleaning tools, but a great pro elite maid has a lot of cleaning to do even with bare hands.
“You, you..!”
“Are you awake, Young Lady?”
“You..! Why are you in my room..!”
“Because I’m your exclusive maid, of course I apologize if you were uncomfortable. But I have a duty to wake you up on time and serve you meals.”
“I told you to get out yesterday!!”
“Ah, are we still playing that game? Kyaa, I’m scared~~”
‘…Liar. You’re not scared.”
“Right?”
“Why..?”
Oh my, our young lady was curious about that.
Actually, it’s because I’m a person who transmigrated from another world.
“Because you are the one I serve, Young Lady.”
“A person who is afraid of the one they serve cannot be called a true maid. One should respect, honor, and serve, but not fear.”
“…Only until this morning. Get out at lunch. Got it?”
“Ah, that won’t do. We have to play together at lunch. And I want to get an introduction to this mansion from you, Young Lady.”
“…I don’t like going around when the sun is up.”
Ah, because of the albinism.
People with albinism are especially vulnerable to ultraviolet rays… I heard that their skin doesn’t just tan, it burns.
“Hmm… then when do you usually sleep, Young Lady?”
“…I go to bed when the sun rises and wake up around 4 PM.. yawn…”
“Ah, so those are the young lady’s active hours…”
“…But why are you curious about that!”
“Get out! Get out!”
“Hmph, I made breakfast, won’t you eat it?”
I look at the young lady with sparkling eyes.
“…Ah, alright.”
“But.”
“But?”
“Th, this is the last time. Hurry up and get out of my house. I like being alone. I don’t need someone like you. I’m a cool witch and vampire. I don’t need anyone’s help at all.”
Even if you say that with a scrunched-up face, trying to look scary.
“Young Lady, your pretty face is getting crumpled. Don’t get so angry, okay?”
“Don’t call me pretty!! Get out!!!”
“What about breakfast?”
“You… don’t you get tired?”
Hmm, it’s cute to look at the young lady.
A bit… like looking at a small, cute rabbit?
Or a cat?!
“Anyway, are you going to eat breakfast?”
“Sigh, alright.”
“Alright. You really don’t listen, do you?”
“Thank you, Young Lady.”
“…I’m a witch.”
I go down to the 1st floor with the young lady and enter the dining room.
..It smells good.”
“It smells delicious, right? Since it’s morning, I prepared a simple stew.”
“…I don’t eat vegetables.”
“Just try one bite. It’s a taste that’s on a different level than anything you’ve had before.”
Even if I look like this, I’ve been cooking for at least 20 years, combining my past life and this one.
Especially in this world, I became very close to the earldom’s head chef while studying new ingredients.
And I’ve made it very suitable for children’s tastes.
“…Aren’t you going to eat?”
“My role is to assist you so that you can eat your breakfast well.”
“…I see.”
“There’s meat in it too.”
The young lady picks up a spoon and stirs the stew.
“When did you make this?”
“Hmm, 3 hours ago.”
“I boiled it quickly once and then simmered it slowly.”
“Simmered?”
“It means I cooked it continuously over low heat to make it soft and easy to eat.”
“Simmered… simmered…”
“Hurry up and try it. I’m so sorry I couldn’t serve you a meal yesterday.”
“Sh, shut up… I can eat by myself.”
“Yes, yes, a~”
“Don’t treat me like a child! More importantly, hurry up and get out! Get out!”
“Kyaa~ How scary~~ Then I’ll just watch from the side!”
I’m glad I could teach the young lady a new piece of knowledge.
Anyway, the young lady, with a somewhat disgruntled look, takes a spoonful of stew and puts it in her mouth.
Munch munch munch…
“..It’s delicious.”
“Right? It’s delicious, right?”
“It’s delicious…”
It makes me happy to see her eating well.
It makes my pride as a maid swell, so to speak.
“Young Lady.”
“What.”
“If it’s not rude, may I be in charge of your meals from now on?”
“…I thought I told you to get out.”
Even though she says that.
The force with which she pushes me away has weakened a lot since the beginning, hasn’t it?
“If I leave here, I have nowhere to live!”
“I’ll definitely wander around the forest, meet a bear, and get eaten!”
“..! R, really..?”
“Yes…”
It’s a lie, actually.
But sometimes you have to lie when necessary.
“Won’t you take me in, Young Lady? I’ll do really well.”
“If it’s not you, I’ll be kicked out as a bum and have to marry a weird and bad drunkard old man?”
“Surely the gracious and merciful young lady won’t do that to me, right?”
…So, if you get kicked out of here, that’s what happens to you..?”
“Yes… sniffle, how sad.”
I cover my face with my hands and pretend to cry, and the young lady looks at me with a flustered expression.
“You, you, are you really not scared of me?”
“Then of course. I’m not scared of you at all, Young Lady.”
“…It’s not a lie.”
“How could I lie to you, Young Lady?”
”…You lied that you were scared of me.”
Oops,
“Th, that, you see..?”
“It’s just that you wanted it, so I did it!”
“…You’re weird.”
The young lady has already emptied half a bowl of stew.
“Would you like more stew?”
“No, I’m full.”
“You said you usually sleep at this time, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, if it’s not rude, may I read you a book?”
“A book??”
“Yes, there’s a study. Do you usually like books?”
“Of, of course..! I like books!!”
“Then shall we go?”
I hold the young lady’s hand.
“Don’t hold my hand!!”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
The young lady slaps my hand away.
Hmm.. maybe not yet.
The prickly young lady slaps my hand away and somehow looks a little sorry and gets angry on purpose.
“You, you walk more than 10 meters away from me.”
You even know the unit of meters?”
“Wow, you’re so smart, Young Lady!”
“I, I’m a witch, so of course!”
“I see~ Then let’s go read a book quickly!”
“…I’m sleepy, but I’ll read with you specially.”
“Thank you!”
I go to the study and pick out a fun children’s storybook and sit in a chair.
“Now, Young Lady, sit down.”
“…? Where.”
“On my lap, of course?”
“You, you, you’re telling me to sit on your lap right now?”
“Of course?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were a baby, I practically raised you on my back!”
“Li, liar!”
“It’s true…”
Except for the family, I was the only servant who wasn’t afraid of the young lady..?
The rest said things like curse, witch, vampire, illegitimate child…
I punished everyone who said such bad things, though.
“Hurry up and sit down. It’s surprisingly soft, you know?”
“I, I’m fine. I’ll just watch from the side.”
“Hmm… I’m a little sad. I’ll let you sit next to me specially today!”
“…I said I’m fine.”
I lift the young lady up and sit her next to me and read the storybook.
The story is roughly about a princess who lived alone in a secluded tower, met a prince, got married, and lived happily ever after.
“So the two of them… oh?”
She fell asleep…
I carefully lift the young lady who is sleeping soundly in the chair.
…She’s so light.
“Our young lady, you’ve been very lonely, haven’t you? I’ll take good care of you from now on. Until you become an adult. Let’s have a fun and happy time together, okay?”
“Mmm… I’m a witch…”
“…Who said such bad things to you, Young Lady? You’re not a witch.”
I hold the young lady and pat her back gently.
Hmm… would it feel like this if I had a daughter, a niece, or a late-born younger sister?
“…I’m sorry.”
“Oh my, you know how to apologize.”
“Mmm… I’m sorry for pushing you…”
.She has a good heart.
I spend time in the study listening to the young lady’s sleep talk.
The young lady’s small warmth makes me feel good for no reason.
