Chapter 427: Base Tour 1

Chapter 427: Base Tour 1

When I returned to the Volton mansion after I finished constructing the employee dorms in Volton and the Sanctuary, I happened to meet Maribelle, Mabel and the experienced maids, and the maid-in-training girls from the orphanages.

I was admiring how hard they were working as I headed to the living room where Sophia and the rest were.

「「「Welcome home.」」」

「I’m back.」

I sat down on the sofa and and Mabel brought me some tea. The training of the girls from the orphanages gravitated mostly around Maribelle, with Mabel and the rest of the veterans helping out, but during that time, they took turns doing the maidwork.

Freed from the work that they used to do until just recently, Maria and Marnie seemed bored with their idle hands, but they also have to get used to this.Fiind updated novels on no/v/elbin(.)co/m

Sipping on the tea, I talked about how I was building the employee dormitory behind the Sanctuary mansion when I was asked by Princess Mimir to make something similar for her and so I made one for her quickly as well.

Hearing this, Sophia was also ashamed that she didn’t realize this much sooner. Though she had left it ages ago, Princess Mimir was the princess of her motherland, so she should still have been more mindful.

「My apologies for this. For the princess of a country, while it isn’t a requirement to have ladies in waiting and servants, escorts must have been necessary to keep up with the formalities.」

「Yeah, I thought so too. No matter how safe the Sanctuary is, I feel bad that she had only the bare minimum ladies in waiting tending to her needs.」

In the Sanctuary, because of the Great Spirits’ inclinations, there’s a tendency to be unconcerned with social statuses, but it must have been a burden for Princess Mimir now that I think back on it.

Well, in actuality, Princess Mimir enjoys life in the Sanctuary and would make frequent visits to her mansion there, but she apparently wanted a personal chef there.

Princess Mimir’s attendants must have had a hard time cooking meals on top of taking care of their liege.

「......Master, this “Demon Continent”, is it perhaps the Demon Continent to the south of Samandour Kingdom separated by an ocean?」

「I don’t know any other Demon Continent besides that, so I think it might definitely be the same one you’re thinking about, Maribelle.」

「「..................」」

I thought it would be bad to introduce them to the bases as is, so I explained the details of how I managed to procure each of those bases to Sebastian and Maribelle. Then I asked them to clean up each of the bases from time to time, communicate with the Aligerous people stationed at the base, and to tell me if there’s anything needed.

「......this is beyond my imaginations, in more ways than one.」

「......Master, I will endeavor to meet your expectations.」

Sebastian was unable to hold onto reality, while Maribelle had given up on thinking. Could it be that women are really mentally tough?

After that, once Sebastian and Maribelle had calmed down, we discussed what date I could show them around the bases.

After further discussions with Maribelle, Mabel and the veteran maids would split up and train the girls as they learning the job.

「We will regularly take turns being in charge of the Volton Mansion and the Sanctuary Mansion.」

「Yup, thanks.」

The Base Tour will happen three days from now. By that time, I believe they should already be somewhat used to this environment.
