Can Someone Please Explain This Situation

Chapter 9



Chapter 9

Ch . 9 Start of Activities!

After the tour Dahlia gave me of the mansion, I plan to liven up this magnificent estate . Like me you might think this is presumptuous but because I was personally told ‘by all means freely do as you please’ by the Duke himself, I am allowed to freely do as I please☆

Moreover, the mansion staff are ‘Servant Experts’ so, if I able to receive instruction on housekeeping, even if the time comes for me to leave this estate, I believe I’ll be able to live because I will have ‘work experience’! I wonder when that happens, if they will write a letter of introduction for me?

“Mistress~ are you really going to wear this?”

said Mimosa with a raised miserable voice, in my room .

“Yes, I do . Even this way, it is easy to move and even if it gets dirty it’s of no concern”

While saying this I put on the bodice in my hand, the official uniform of the Physalis’ servants . It has three-quarter sleeves for easy arm movement, the skirt is A-line and made of pretty fabric, it comes just below the knees . Even while working it is not ugly, and is a tidy deep blue . Dirt doesn’t stand out, it’s great~ although dust will stand out .

In a good mood I change into the garment that Mimosa reluctantly supplied to me while humming a tune .

“Even so if it’s Mistress, a lovelier dress is more suitable”

It seems like Mimosa would like to dress me up but unfortunately, I am plain so I don’t have interest in dressing up or such things .

Mimosa, although reluctantly, helps me to change .

“That’s not the case . This is also very good”

She looked displeased but I involuntarily ended up giggling at Mimosa’s cute sullen face . With this scene, if I say she doesn’t look older than me, she will most likely get angry .

“But it is curious . When Mistress wears it I can see my uniform as simple and elegant . You are naturally tall and your body is slender, so the simpleness makes Mistress’s neat and clean cuteness look better” .

The sour look from earlier went away and, looking at me after I finished changing, Mimosa began to smile .

However, that was somewhat of an overestimation . Because in reality it does not matter who wears this uniform! It is designed so anyone who wears it looks that way, even with a thin and tall figure like mine, it looks pretty . It is okay there is no boobs! No rather, those without boobs look tidy so, this uniform’s ability is amazing, I’ll have to admit .

“Well! thanks”,

I smile and obediently take the compliment . With my personality the adjective ‘cute’ is a bit......

From then on I give my energy to various things .

Cleaning .

Obviously the expensive decorations are left to the professionals but besides those I give it my best! If I was to break them I wouldn’t be able to reimburse it . In the places I think are deary I decide to decorate them with flowers . The garden’s flower beds are blooming with flowers of various colours, so I borrow those . I chatted with the gardener, Bellis, who is very good-looking but has the atmosphere of a wolf in sheep’s clothing (his gaze is sharp so, I thought he was some sort of mercenary☆), and I receive flowers from a superb greenhouse facility that my family house does not have .

Laundry .

The advanced laundry technology has impressed me from the first day I came here! When I consider the future, by any means I want to become a master so, I earnestly clung to the servants here . Laundry is hard work but it is worth it . I work up a good sweat☆

Cooking .

The head chef is called Carthame, his skills are very top-notch but he is a older and burly man . He is the complete opposite of Bellis, he is also good-looking but is the body and soul embodiment of a gentleman . As one would expect because there is a first class chef there, I could not meddle concerning the cooking, so I consult about the menu and make dessert and sweets .

Which reminds me I met Lotus on the way and he told me, “The master will be going on a urgent business trip for around a week starting today”

I think I mentioned this before but the Duke is a knight . A military authority . He is the leader of the special duty division . That special division is where the so-called intelligence actions are conducted . NOT the cerebral muscles[1] YES secret information . So the mission is basically a secret . You can only inform a few family members . Even that is only ‘I’m going to ○○ for a mission’ . So the details would not be told to a decoration wife like me .

For now, I can only reply with ‘I understand’, even though I do not understand a thing about the work . If there was something ‘I knew’ it would seem like I’m meddling .

While doing various things just like this the day comes to an end . Of course I do not think on my husband’s existence or atoms . Sorry for being a heartless wife .

This just like that a week passes by .

I am relaxing in my room until dinner when,

“Master returned”

Said Mimosa as she entered .

“Oh, the master returned? Where?”

I stupidly question . But, since coming to the duke house, the Duke has not returned, so I do not know how I am supposed to deal with it .

Then,

“For the time being, he is at the entranceway . He always shows his face for a moment at the entranceway, after talking with Lotus he returns to the detached building”

Mimosa explained without delay . Thanks, for the nice follow-up .

“Well then, I wonder if it would be good if I also went to greet him?”

“Yes, certainly . So please simply change your clothes!”

“A, that is true”

I am still in the servant uniform .

In hot haste I change into a simple dress Mimosa prepared . Because it is a pop over the head dress it was easy to get changed☆

I also had to fix my hair tidy up behind my head so it wasn’t a hindrance, I quickly simply rolled it up and go towards the entranceway .

“Welcome back, Master”

I hurry to the entrance and the Duke is talking with Lotus . He notices me and,

“I am home . Above all I have been in good health . Well then”

While smiling, he turns around and briskly left the entranceway .

Boーーーom .

“......it was a moment wasn’t it~”

“Yes, well......”

I say to Lotus while looking at the pattern of the closed door . Still more refreshingly cold as always!

Lotus and I somehow have the feeling of being left behind .

“What did you and the master talk about?”

I ask Lotus .

“I gave a report of the things that happened in his absence”

Well he is somehow or other the head of the duke house . He has to care about the estate once .

It could be he does not completely neglect it .

Ah, but the things that were reported......

“No way, you didn’t say I have blended in with the servants in this and that?

In confusion, Lotus gave affirmation .

“No way no way! That kind of thing, even if my mouth split I would not say!!”

“Is that so~”

Me, who is a wife and make-believing being a servant, and the butler hasn’t stopped it, ne?

It’s my selfishness, so it is not Lotus’ fault .

“From now on please be discrete about it” .

“Of course I will be!”

It is not difficult to imagine that surely Dahlia would say the same thing, I hope .
