I look to the right, I look to the left.
I move carefully, trying to not make a sound.
I have to arrive at the place of destination without being discovered.
I confirm the rear just in case. Yosh, no one’s here.
Ha! What about the ceiling!? … Un, no way someone’s there.
「What are you doing?」
Kyaaーーーーーーーーーー
I scream internally.
My heart beats dokidoki and bakubaku at high speed.
No good, I may have a premature death. They say that living organisms have a fixed number of heartbeats(unconfirmed). My lifetime!
I’m sorry, Wirbel! Your Okaasama may not be able to see you become Ojiichan!
「Calm down」
An unimpressed voice reaches from overhead.
Au, auditory hallucination? The voice I hear is from a person that is not supposed to be here.
「What are you doing at such place?」
That’s something I would like to ask you!
「Christhard-sama too, when did you come to the Sunlight Mansion? Moreover, why to such a place?」
There, Dannasama was calmly looking at me.
Why are you here!? Isn’t this time you normally go to work? Furthermore, this place is an area for servants, you know!?
It’s not a place where the patriarch of the residence should be.
Well, I’m not one who should be saying this, but this is too much!
「Ah, I sensed a presence」
Scary! This person just said something scary!!
He chased a presence!? Does this mean that with this presence detection, you know where who is!?
Please, teach me this detection by all means! With that, such inconvenient situations like this won’t happen again.
「Does it mean you know where in the capital is?」
「It’s not such ridiculous ability. The highest detection scope of this ability is around the size of a small village. I’m aware of the presences around the mansion at best」
「Is that so?」
I’m glad~ I was about to leave carelessly.
But, is this ability able only to detect acquaintances? Quite a delicate ability? The scope is narrow.
Well, it doesn’t change the matter that it’s a terrifying ability to me, learning a concealment magic is necessary!
「So, what are you doing here?」
「… I was on my way to the kitchen」
「Alone?」
「I can’t?」
I am Amalie on a high horse.
Fu, I’m the one that surpasses arrogance! O~hohho!
「Berta」
Christhard-sama raises his right hand and calls Berta’s name.
Eh!? Berta? Where!? I look around restlessly.
Have I been found out by the enemy!? Regrets!
「Ha, doesn’t look like she’s in the Sunlight Mansion at the moment」
Christhard-sama continues with the out of place words.
Y, you deceived me!? To fall into such rudimentary trap…
After showing my emotions so openly, it would be difficult to deceive him.
It can’t be helped… To have been found out by Christhard-sama of all people. Haa.
「Yes, Berta is not here. I have sent her on an errand」
I say while starting to walk towards the kitchen, Christhard-sama follows.
「So? What are you scheming for?」
「How rude. I am just heading to the kitchen to cook」
When I became defiant, Christhard-sama didn’t answer back.
I just wanted to do some cooking while hiding from Berta.
I arrive at the kitchen and gather the ingredients.
Eggs, sugar, milk, and bread.
I make an eggwash, soak the bread in it, and lightly heat it in the oven.
The egg will penetrate into the bread when heated.
After that, I melt butter in a frying pan and slowly cook both sides!
It’s done! French toast!
Yosh, let’s have a taste then!
N? When I raise my eyes, Christhard-sama holds a knife and a fork while sitting on a stool at the counter.
… Why do you look determined to eat?
「Would you like to eat?」
