A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 496: Lack of Human Resources Part 1
The man named Marquis Sardari's messenger was considered to be in his fifties and an old man in this world. A man with romance grey hair neatly arranged in an all-back and a soft waist wearing a clean butler's clothes.
There was no such thing as an ambassador or an armed man, and the smile was impressive to reassure others.
"Eh, well... I'm Reurus, no, I'm Reurus..."
Reurus, who was swallowed by the atmosphere, replied with a little trouble. The atmosphere is close to the Sebastian of the Count of Velg, but the man in front of him has gentle signs of circles.
Though sophisticated, I can't feel the magic. Maybe he's hiding it, but he's probably not the owner of magic because he can't feel it at close range.
If it was a skill that could conceal magic even though it was a distance that could be reached if I stretched my arms, I was afraid of even exceeding Gilba as a revus.
"Oh, is that so? It's an honor to meet you. My name is Marteau Spelti, the butler who serves the Marquis of Sardari."
A man who thanked me for saying so - Malto, but even the gift was in the hall.
"My lord, Marquis Sardari, ordered me to see Reurus, if possible, and to confirm my plans… If I have a spare time for my plans, could I have a conversation only once in a few days?
It is an attitude that can only be said to be matched according to the plan of the revulsion. It wasn't that I was bad at it, but the tone and manners of my voice that I felt was being treated with care.
"This is very polite... Marquis Sardari..."
It was a Reurus who liked Malto's attitude, but the other person's name couldn't be nodded instantly. This visit to King's Landing was also the beginning of Marquis Sardari's recommendation of Reurus as a knight.
"I need to talk to Baron Amendora... can I have a moment?
"Yes, I'll wait as long as I can."
When the rear end is closed for the time being, the footsteps rush out carefully so as not to make as much noise as possible. And when I got to the room used by Natalia upstairs in a few seconds, I knocked on the door and shouted.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kanji. A messenger came to me from Marquis Sardari and asked me if I could see him only once in a few days....."
"From Marquis Sardari? Oh, then you can take it."
And quickly, Reurus responded so quickly that he was confused.
"... are you sure?
"He'll be fine. I wanted to make sure you were in King's Landing, and if you sent me a messenger from over there, I'd rather save you. So it's okay... no, before that, Reurus, who was the messenger?
"Messenger? I'm a butler in his 50s, Mr. Marteau... but he also had the last name Spelty."
Natalia is slightly silent when Reurus tells Marto's name. And when Reurus remembers the question, there is a murmuring voice across the door.
"A 50-year-old butler with a surname... and no rude imitation." Okay, hold on a second. "
That said, I thought there was a noise for about a minute, and the door opened. Natalia was dressed from her outfit, but Reurus rounded her eyes to her appearance.
A black long skirt dress that is not flashy enough to be called a dress, but is clearly made of a fine fabric that would not be worn by “ordinary people”. There was embroidery everywhere in the fabric, and when I looked closely at it with a seemingly plain hue, I could see that it was attentive to fashion.
"... what are those clothes?
"As a baron, you can't travel forever, can you? Anyway, I just don't want to be dressed up in my house, even though it's borrowed. But this outfit doesn't matter if you're dealing with an envoy."
While saying so, Natalia pushes Reurus to the front door. As he turned his face to the living room, he pointed upstairs towards Nicolas, who was sitting in a chair.
"Nicolas, me and Reus are going to talk to a messenger from the Marquis of Sardari. In the meantime, make sure Eliza and the others don't come downstairs. Especially Sarah's daughter."
"Ah... are you bringing the messenger home? You're not even ready to entertain me..."
"I won't do that because I can't do anything that I can't. Or, Nicola, can you help me with my butler's clothes?
"... what do you want from an adventurer, Mr. Kanji?"
Nicolas leaned up and disappeared upstairs. It was Reurus who dropped it off, but Natalia sighed across the living room.
"For today's sake, we'll have no choice but to plant the corona instantly... do you think we can do better than bring a prospective kid with us?"
Natalia whispers, tapping Reurus lightly on the shoulder.
"The size of this mansion doesn't help, but the messenger should go to the reception room.” If you're a messenger of a hostile aristocracy, you can kick him out. "
"I don't know... is the reception room that way?
That is why Reus pointed at a room that he had never used in particular during his last visit to King's Landing.
The Mansion rented in King's Landing is two stories long, but when the first floor is opened, there is a living room on the right hand side, a reception room on the left hand side, and a floor and staircase in front. Further down the floor, there is a bath, toilet, and cooking area, which is basically a place to entertain others.
The upstairs part was a place for living such as a bedroom, and there were private rooms for the Reurus.
"The last time I came to King's Landing, Mr. Lewis came suddenly, so I let him through the living room...."
I wonder if that didn't work out, and Reurus has a head. Louis didn't even make the appearance he cared about, but it might have been a bad idea to let him through the living room instead of the reception room.
"There's only a reception room and a living room in this house, but you choose a room based on the person's position and affinity with them. If you're a messenger, like Lord Lewis in the reception room, if you're“ personally close ”to him, he'll be fine in the living room."
"... I'll leave it up to you to decide around here."
If you make a mistake, you can't even get an eye on it. When Reurus thinks about it, Natalia laughs brightly and prompts Reurus to open the door.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
When I opened the door, there was a Marteau waiting in exactly the same position as before closing. But when I realized that Natalia was here, I immediately bowed.
"Baron Amendora, isn't he? My name is Marteau Spelti, the butler who serves the Marquis of Sardari. It's a shame to see you despite your sudden visit."
"Never mind. However, I have just arrived in King's Landing today and am not ready to respond. As long as you're embarrassed."
"We apologize for visiting you at such a time. I heard that Reurus from the Spirit Man came to King's Landing, and the Lord asked me to check his plans...."
"Well... the invitation from the Marquis of Sardari, who brings together the nobles of the north, will please Reurus, the 'people of our house'."
It was Natalia who responded by changing her tone because she was an official messenger, but as a revulsion, she felt strangely itchy even if she just listened beside her. Still, I can't leave this place and keep listening to Natalia and Malto.
"If there's anything I can do for you, I'd love to have Baron Amendora come to my house...."
"I'm visiting with Reurus... are you sure?
"Of course, thank you. The Lord has asked me to give you a chance to have a chat... and if Baron Amondola is with you, the Lord will be pleased."
There is no back - even if it is, it is unlikely to be discernible, but Marto keeps talking with a smile.
"However, I'm sorry to invite you here, but Mr. Reurus would like you to come“ as usual ”... he would definitely like to invite someone who has even been called" Monster Eater "."
"... you think that's something to ask Reurus?
"No, I swear to the Great Spirit, if you want to see who saved the Marquis of Sardari."
That's how Multo bows with his right hand against his chest. Natalia was staring at Marteau like that, but she smiled at him to get rid of it immediately.
"How about tomorrow at noon?
"Yes, sir. I will tell you."
Once again, Marto bows politely and leaves before Reurus. Even the way of walking entered the hall, and Reurus unexpectedly exclaimed his admiration.
"Even Sebastian of the Count of Velg was, but seeing a sophisticated butler conveys the beauty."
"Well... I don't mean to say that many people, but I have to grow up when I find someone in my family..."
Natalia sighs a little depressed. Though I thought that putting Sharon in education was a failure, Sharon, who is also the user of attribute magic, wanted to keep it militarily.
"The day after tomorrow, or... what's tomorrow?
Hearing Natalia sigh, Reurus asked to distract him from the subject. Natalia then looks up at the sky, which began to dye at sunset, with her eyes narrowed.
"I'm not going to do it right away because I'm in King's Landing with your consort... for now, Corona and Nicolas... and I'm going to go buy Eliza's clothes."
"Clothes?"
"Yeah, I thought I needed a maid's uniform or a butler's uniform. I'm no match for my real job, but I just have to shape it for now...."
The development of Baron Amendura is well under way, and the town of Speranza is taking shape, but as a Baron Amendura, we are short of talent. We have more than enough men to fight, but we don't have enough men to say "that hand”, such as butlers and maids.
Natalia still needed a butler and maid, and she didn't expect to visit again within a year of her last visit to King's Landing.
I couldn't find a word for Natalia to sigh again, and Reurus looked up at the sunset sky in trouble.
