After
leaving the Wolf mansion, Alvin and Milis visited the Beltz family annex in the
<Medio> city. It was an unannounced visit, but since Alvin and Milis had
been going to the Beltz house for almost a month to prepare for the honorary
knight, and Christina, who was in charge of the residence, had told Alvin and
the others to let them through when they arrived, they were led into the house
without being stopped by the gatekeeper.
Alvin
and Milis were ushered into the reception room, where they sat side by side on
the sofa and waited until Christina was ready. After a few moments of waiting,
she appeared with her butler and maid.
「Sorry
to keep you waiting. Alvin-san, Milis-san」
「Good
morning. No, we're the ones who came to you unexpectedly...」
「Good
morning, Christina-san」
Christina
and Alvin greet each other with smiles as they enter the room. Christina sits
down in front of them, and the maids prepare drinks and start serving.
「Thank
you for your hard work the other day. I'm glad the appointment ceremony and
party went off without a hitch. And the dance... it was a delight to dance」
Christina
smiled at Alvin, a smile so happy that a man could not help but admire it, and
he felt an indescribable sense of embarrassment.
「I had
a great time dancing with Al-kun too. I've never been to a party like that
before.... I greeted a lot of people, but it's hard to remember everyone's name
and face...」
Milis
spoke in a similarly charming manner. And Alvin became more and more
embarrassed, but he was also happy to know that he was being cared for by two
attractive women.
In
order not to reveal his feelings, Alvin takes advantage of Milis' story.
「That's
me too.... I was given a list of nobles, but I don't think I can remember them」
This
story is no stranger to Alvin. Alvin received a list of the names and faces of
the heads of the family, but he didn't think he could remember them all.
「Fufu,
I had a hard time at first, too. ...Alvin-san is now a noble. If you find it
difficult to speak, you may speak as you normally do. And, if you don't mind,
you can call me Chris」
Looking
at Alvin, who was on the verge of using the casual tone he usually used with
Milis, Christina made up her mind without expressing it. She danced at the
party, and thinking that they were getting to know each other, she decided to
make a proposal.
「...Okay.
Thanks, Chris」
「You
can call me whatever you want, Chris-san」
Alvin
and Milis accepted, and Christina smiled happily.
「Thank
you, Al-sama, Mil-san...so, what did you come here to discuss today?」
「That's
right. I was wondering if you could introduce me to someone who might be
interested in working for the Wolf family...」
As the
distance between the three of them grows closer, Alvin tells Christina about
the conversation they had just had at the Wolf mansion. She listens silently to
Alvin's story and gives him a nod.
「...Yes,
I understand. I can introduce you to the maid, the cook, and the gatekeeper.
I'm just a little concerned about a few things」
「What
do you mean? Is there a problem?」
Christina
nodded in response to Alvin's question.

「It's
about Akane, the head maid. I know that Akane is a serious person. I've taught
her how to work as a maid, and if she's going to take the place of the head of
the servant, she's going to be the head
of the gatekeeper and the cook」
Alvin
replied in the affirmative. There is no doubt that the current plan is to have
Akane head the servants.
「Honestly,
the emerging house is a very good place of employment for the second and third
sons and daughters of nobles who cannot become heirs. An honorary knight is
someone whose character and achievements have been recognized by the kingdom,
so it's like an endorsement that they're a good employer. Now, do you think
that a person born into a noble family would be able to work quietly under
Akane, a commoner?」
「Is it
difficult...?」
Alvin's
feeling is that he wants to leave the house to Akane, who has been managing it
for a long time. It was natural for him to want to favor the person who had
done a good job so far over a new hire.
「I'm
sure she'll do her job well. However, it may be difficult for her to do many
things. I'll try to find the best person possible, but the rest will depend on
Akane's skills」
「Hmm...
Then I'll try to find one myself...」
「I'll
find the cook for you. The more knowledgeable them about the noble's favorite
cuisine the better...」
「Then
I'll find the gatekeeper and gardener. I'll have to split the maids 50-50 and
see how it goes...」
They
discussed and divided the roles. Christina, dreaming of the possibility of
marrying into the Wolf family, decides together on the fundamental details of
the family.
（Al-sama...I
love you ♡）
Christina
felt happy at the thought of building a family together. Milis was quiet as she
watched the conversation progressing at a rapid pace.
（That's
great... Chris-san is very reliable）
She
regrets that she can't play a role in Alvin's life, but she watches over him
because her role is different. Because there is a clear distinction between her
role to support the adventurers and Christina's role to support the nobles,
Milis is not jealous of her.
With
the fact that she was already treated as his wife, there was no way that Milis
would doubt Alvin's love for her.
「Chris-san,
please let me know about the invitation」
「Of
course you can. Then let's see what's inside」
Milis
also asked for Christina's help. She hands her the bundle of letters she
brought from the Wolf mansion, and they go through them together.
Christina
doesn't feel bad about being asked for help. She, too, understands her role and
is grateful to Milis for accepting her existence.
Their
feelings seem to be very good, as they are in complete agreement in supporting
their loved ones.
Seeing
Milis and Christina discussing in a peaceful atmosphere, Alvin felt relieved.
