Chapter 273 One Thing Settled…？
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”What on earth are you thinking!!”
”I have no excuse to offer.”
”……”
After Lewya found us, I and Estesia-san were being scolded by Diana in the office.
I was just repeatedly apologizing, but Estesia-san didn’t seem to care at all.
She sat with crossed legs, looking bored, while Wen sat on the desk, watching us with a puzzled expression.
Why was Lewya able to find us when we were hiding?
It was because she borrowed Wen’s “eyes.”
Estesia-san’s magic is a spell that makes the target invisible to all eyes except those of specific individuals.
This “misleading eyes” part is important, and in this case, “eyes” refers to the eyeballs, which are the sensory organs of living beings.
When she is in her material form, this is one thing, but Wen, in her spirit form, obviously has no eyeballs as sensory organs, so the “eyes” of the spirit could not be misled.
”Diana, enough with the scolding. Neil is regretting it, and there’s no point in saying more about Estesia. We need to ask about the situation too.”
”Ugh… I understand now.”
”Oh, am I finally free?”
”That’s not the case. I still have things I want to say, but before that, I need to ask you something.”
”I’ll remain silent.”
”That’s not going to fly!”
”──Estesia-san, you do understand that it’s bad not to talk, right?”
At the beginning, I might not have known, but now I don’t think Estesia-san sneaked into my room with harmful intent.
However, if she refuses to talk about everything, we will just have to treat Estesia-san as a simple intruder and give her the proper punishment.
Of course, since she snuck into my private and office rooms without permission, we have to punish her no matter the circumstances, but the type of punishment might change…
”First of all, why didn’t Wen report it? Wen could see Estesia-san, right?”
”Now that you mention it, that’s true. Setting aside the first incident, since I had asked for surveillance of the mansion after that, didn’t you see her, Wen?”
”Yeah, I saw her.”
”Then why didn’t you report it?”
”Well, I was told to let you know if there was someone sneaking around.”
”Since she’s hiding… no, I see.”
”From Wen’s point of view, Estesia-san looks like she’s confidently walking around the mansion n*ked, so she wasn’t being sneaky at all.”
That aside, I wish she would realize it’s strange to walk around the mansion completely n*ked, but Wen hasn’t learned human common sense yet, so it can’t be helped… right?
”Even so, sneaking around the mansion and doing… that kind of stuff is clearly weird! Don’t you think it’s strange no matter how you look at it?”
”Is that weird, Neil? But when changing the sheets, or doing laundry, there are people who do a similar thing with Neil’s sheets and clothes.”
”Huh? Who?”
”Diana and Lewya──mmph!”
Diana and Lewya jumped up from the sofa and quickly covered Wen’s mouth.
”Um, both of you?”
”……I’m really sorry, Neil-sama. It seems we don’t have the right to say anything to Estesia-sama about this matter.”
What are you two doing?
Plus, changing sheets and doing laundry is clearly part of their work.
Well, I can’t really say anything since I also ignored my paperwork.
”However, regarding ‘this matter’, we will investigate the incident from that day when you entered Neil-sama’s private room.”
”…………sigh, I guess it can’t be helped, but I have one condition.”
”You think you can set a condition?”
”If not, I won’t say anything.”
”──Diana, it’s fine. I’ll accept your condition.”
”But… no, if Neil-sama says so, then…”
”As expected of Neil-sama, you understand. That really helps. So about that condition…”
”Yes, what is it──”
”You just go to a different room for a bit.”
”…Huh?”
Estesia-san said that while looking straight at my face.
”Is that the condition?”
”Yes, to be honest, I really don’t want to talk about this with anyone… but now it can’t be helped.”
”Understood. Since Neil-sama has accepted the condition, I have no objection.”
”Huh?”
”So Neil, can you move to another room for a bit?”
Huh~~~~~~~~~~~~?
* * *
Even though I absolutely didn’t agree, I was kicked out of the office and had to wait in my room next door until Estesia-san finished her talk.
Since Wen seemed uninterested in Estesia-san’s talk and followed me, I took the chance to teach Wen some common sense about humans to pass the time.
”So normally, humans don’t wander around the hallway n*ked, and you definitely don’t get n*ked in someone else’s house. Got it?”
”Yeah, I understand this time. This is Neil’s house, so it’s strange if anyone other than Neil is n*ked.”
”That’s right, but… no, that’s not it. If I say that, then it would seem strange just because Diana and Lewya changed clothes. So, for anyone other than the people living here… it would also seem strange if guests who stayed in the mansion changed clothes. Besides, the slaves who don’t sleep here also change clothes when they switch from their work outfits, so, uhmmmm.”
