After that, everyone, wondering about their own rooms and so on, looked around the facilities freely. I as well tried to visit reception hall, dining hall, library, concert hall, drill ground, courtyard, but I was not able to bring myself to see them all. As I thought, isn’t it too spacious? Rather than Belfast’s castle, the plan was to make it considerably smaller, but still.
When we finished looking around to some extent, everyone came to sit and relax on the sofa at the big room facing the large balcony.
「Weeell, it is spacious ~degozaru. Cleaning it will be dreadful ~degozaru……」
「Well, since the castle is bestowed with [Protection] as a whole, I think neither simple dirt nor cracks won’t attach. However, because the dust will collect…….」
As I answered Yae and turned my head to the balcony, I saw Yumina and Ruu making merry while gazing at the outside scenery. What energy….. That’s youth, isn’t it. Or rather, that makes me sound like an old man.
Coming to the place where we relax, the maid corps of Lapis-san, Cecil-san, Rene, and Shisuka brought black tea and tea cakes. Lime-san is waiting behind as well.
「A wonderful castle, Danna-sama. By any means, I didn’t even think that without passing even one year since since I started working, I would be serving in the castle once again」
「Forgive me. Lime-san originally stopped serving at the castle, returned home and yet… 」
「No-no. The blood of youth these days seems to be boiling. Since after this, it seems like it will become even more hectic…….」
Saying so, Lime-san laughs. Because the person himself doesn’t mind it, it will be better for me not to mind it as well.
「Master, there surely is a garden with a fountain in it, but is it fine to revise it a little bit again?」
While pouring the tea, Shisuka asks such a thing. Since she was managing the sky garden of Babylon, I guess gardening is her forte. Apart from Julio-san, who is in charge of courtyard, it has been decided that Shisuka may do as she likes in regard to garden.
「By the way, the training room in castle…」
「There is one ! ! 」
(TL: I assume it is some kind of euphemism for S&M play. UP: after googling the kanji, I am now sure of it. NSFW)
She truly does not behave, this fellow!
When I picked up the tea cup, Rene placed the bowl with tea cakes for me. After that time, Rene heard about her own origin from Carol-san. However, instead of returning to the Empire, she announced to continuing to live here. And promised to meet with grandmother eventually when she sorted out her feelings.
Rene too, got used to the maid appearance, and it seems that she grew accustomed to everyone’s help as well. Sometimes she makes a mistake too, but her level isn’t bad.
「However, Danna-sama~. If comes to us living here as well, won’t it be a little inconvenient~? It will be a hard time as well to go to buy things, you know~? 」
Cecil-san asks me with the soft same as usual tone. Certainly, with there being nothing but the castle in this country, it isn’t possible to even do shopping.
「Tentatively, the plan is to connect this place and Belfast’s mansion with [Gate], you see. It is indeed inconvenient 」
I considered that since before, and thought about making an authentication type [Gate]. By making a [Program], it will be prepared so that only the people I authorize could pass by. After all, it is better to be cautious.
「Let’s request Tom-san and Hack-san to be the mansion’s gatekeepers as is. Thus if something happens on the opposite side, they could contact this place. The defense on this side….. That’s it, should we put Cerberus or something in garden? 」
「The strongest watchdog, right」
Elsie laughs. Hell’s watchdog is the watchdog of my castle. His nose is good too, if there are intruders, he will immediately notice them, I think.
It should be fine as well to summon werewolves or lizardmen as guards, but as one would expect, if I go that far, it seems like it will be called monster castle or something, which I am a bit hesitant about.
「Are? What could it be…… a puppy…. Not. A bear…. A teddy-bear?」
Ruu who was at balcony raised her voice seemingly wondered. A Bear? Could it be…..
Quickly going to the balcony, I concentrate my eyes in the direction where Ruu looks in. Over there walks a stuffed bear with small steps, passing through the castle gates together with its master who opened her black parasol.
