「Daphne, are you there―?」

After delivering the wild bear meat to the orphanage, Sam returned to the mansion and poked his head into the kitchen.

「Young Master?」

「Oh, there you are. Here you go. Here’s today’s Wild Bear meat.」

「Wow, thank you very much. Thanks to you, we servants are able to eat meat every day, and we are all very happy.」

「If it makes you happy, it makes me happy too.」

I think it’s my way of returning the favor to the servants who have been so good to me.

They work for the Reinbach family, which has had its share of problems, and I want them to eat meat to keep their spirits up.

「But I was afraid of what would happen at first, but now Young Master has become a great adventurer. Daphne is very happy and proud of you.」

「Is that so?」

「Yes, of course! With all due respect, Young Master is still a child of ten. But he is just as capable of using magic and fighting as an adult! 「

Sam’s cheeks relaxed when Daphne was as happy as if it was her.

It was nice to be praised by Daphne, who had always looked after him like a sister.

「I’ll do my best to prepare a meal for you tonight.」

「Yes. Daphne’s food is delicious, so I always look forward to it.」

By the way, the head of the Reinbach family, his wife, and his son had never eaten wild bear meat.

Sam’s concern that they would not want to eat meat obtained by his unskilled son, and the servants who agreed with him, had not even told them that they were getting it in the first place.

Sam had prepared the meat for the servants who had been so good to him, and he had no intention of feeding it to his parents in name only.

Occasionally, his brother Manion would come into the kitchen and say that he smelled something good, but thanks to the coordinated efforts of the servants, he had not been able to find it until now.

「I’ll see you later!」

「Certainly.」

I waved to Daphne and the other servants and was about to return to my room when Derrick, the butler, came running toward me from the front, looking flustered.

「There you are, Young Master.」

「Derrick? What’s wrong?」

「The master wants to see you, Young Master.」

I almost let out a strange「eep」.

「That’s unusual, that father would call me.」

It’s been almost a year since I was reincarnated, but I’ve never had my father call me.

Even when we pass each other in the hallway, he basically ignores me.

He also eats meals with the servants, so they never see each other.

(Come to think of it, I don’t even know my father’s voice, do I?)

His mother-in-law, who goes out of her way to be sarcastic, and his brother, who tries to bully him whenever he gets a chance, sometimes appear in front of Sam, but his father is the only person he really has no contact with.

Perhaps out of concern for Sam, Derrick tells him many stories about his father.

Basically, he says, his father mostly stays in his office and works or trains with his sword.

It’s not that Sam is the only one left alone, but his wife Yolanda and son Manion seem to be basically left alone as well.

I remember Daphne complaining once that Yolanda was doing whatever she wanted because of this.

However, it seems that she has Manion practice sword fighting every day.

Sometimes they fight each other and train Manion.

I guess the sword is everything to Carius.

「Umm, Young Master…」

「Yes? What’s wrong, Derrick? You don’t look so good.」

As Sam had pointed out, Derrick’s face was very pale.

He looked as if he was trying to say something, but couldn’t, and was searching for the right words.

After waiting for a while, Derrick opened his mouth quietly.

「I’m sure Young Master Sam would like to leave the estate at some point, but we servants are inclined to stay.」

「Oh, yes.」

I tilted my head, wondering what was going on.

It was the first time Derrick had ever said anything like this.

「Recently, the reputation of Young Master Sam has been very good among the people of the territory, and I had low expectations that maybe.」

「Err, it sounds like a bad call.」

「Unfortunately, yes.」

Derrick probably already knew the reason why Karius had called Sam.

And it doesn’t look good for Sam.

「Yeah. I get it. It’s good to know the bad news in advance. Thanks.」

I apologized inwardly to Derrick for making him feel uncomfortable, and headed for Karius’ office.

Then he called out to me from behind.

「Young Master Sam.」

「Yes?」

「We, the servants, are on your side, Young Master Sam.」

I don’t know how much Derrick’s words meant to him.

But he had always been on Sam’s side.

He was more like a father to me than Karius.

It hurt to see Derrick like that, looking like he was about to cry.

Sam smiled at him, as if to say he was fine.

「―――Thank you.」
