In a Different World with a Smartphone

The day has come for us to move to the King's Capital. I traveled through the town of Refretto by saying goodbye greetings to Micah and Doran from "Silver Moon," Ael from "Palent," Xanac from "Fashion King Xanac," Baral from "Arms Shop Bear Eight," and others who took care of me.

The first town I've come to and lived in this world. There are also many thoughts. You can always come at the "gate" if you want to, but it's still emotional.

You said something about making this town a chess town. The King is also passionate about it, so surprisingly its aim may work.

As a farewell farewell to Mr. Xanak, I gave him paper printed with various clothing designs. One of these days, nurse clothes and sailor clothes might come out.... I didn't recommend it, Mr. Xanak ate it.

I gave "Palento" Ael some sweet recipes and some useful tools in "modeling" to make them. Ice servers, rounds, hearts, star shapes, torte cutters, etc. Let's go eat again when we have a new one.

Likewise, Micah was given a perforated knife, peeler, fruit juice squeeze, grated gold, and a variety of cooking recipes. This would make the "Silver Moon" meal even more destructive.

When I broke up with everyone and went back to King's Capital, there were several carriages parked in front of the house, carrying in some furniture. Yumina, who had instructed the furniture to be brought in, came running early when she noticed us showing up in the garden of the house.

"Winter night, it was just fine. I have someone here right now who would like you to hire for a family order in this house, would you please meet me?

"Huh? Now?

An old man with white hair and a mustache walked over from the terrace of the mansion, stiffened by a black uniform. Is that it? Like I saw it somewhere...... Ah, when I got this house, it was someone who brought money and an inventory.

"First to your eyes...... no, that was the second time. My name is Lime. I want you to know me."

Deeply bowing your head, Mr. Lyme. Is he in his late 60s or something? The movement gives a youthful impression for it.

"Jiya is the one who has been your father's caretaker for many years. It's perfect for a family order."

"Huh!?

So that means he was the king's caretaker? You're pulling another hell of a class of people!

"Why would someone like that come to us again..."

"No, I can't beat the annual wave that stops by, and this time I give you my help to my son. That's where the princess was invited. I didn't think it was a bad idea to serve the rest of my life, my brother's life's benefactor."

"... brother?

"My name is Reim. I serve His Royal Highness the Duke of Ortolinde."

"Oh! Mr. Reim at Su's!

Well, I thought you looked like someone, but it's Mr. Reim. Were you serving the King's brothers again? Deacon brothers.

"How about that? Could you hire me?

"No, I'm not dissatisfied with this one... Is that okay? There's something better about the treatment..."

"No, I want to take care of you here. Best regards,"

I bow my head again, Mr. Lime. There was no reason to say no, so I decided to ask him to manage my house and supervise my employer. We shall leave the management of this House at our disposal.

"Well, just now, sir"

"Husband stop!?

"No, the subordinate relationship must be more decent than he is employed. So, sir, I have some people I'd like to hire, would you please meet them?

I managed to make my husband stop, but it was for nothing. I won't give in as cancer. I'm a butler pro, this guy. Anyway, Mr. Rhyme left the mansion early enough to bring the people in. You're acting fast...

"You found a good butler."

Else enters the mansion with her baggage. Linze and Yae also continued, and Yumina began to instruct the furniture to be brought in.

I also decided to head to my room, unload my stuff, and then help bring it in.

For once, my room is the biggest room upstairs, but there's nothing yet except the bed and closet that's attached. I mean, there's a bed, but there's no futon. Tans, desks, chairs, and a bookshelf as furniture should be brought in today. And futons, of course.

I just noticed that I could have made a chair or a tan. You don't have to bother paying high money...... No, then they might have made everyone's share. That's a break. It's a hassle. Let's say the result is Aurai.

Which will help you unload? I would be in trouble with all the heavy furniture. I'm the only one with a man. [M] Sometimes I have to show you where I can count on you.

And when I thought about it, Else was using the "boost" to carry some heavy furniture. Arr? Me, no need...?

Come on, I can't lose this. When this happens, it's a man's will. I also used the "boost" and started carrying furniture with the momentum.

When the furniture had been brought in, we decided to gather on the terrace for tea after a rest.

In the meantime, we finished transporting furniture to our rooms and major rooms such as the living room, kitchen and reception room. All you have to do is sort out the clothes, books, etc. you brought.

Furniture was carried to contend with Else using a "boost," but the armament went up to Else. An unattributed magic "boost" that multiplies physical abilities, but beyond using the same magic, the original physical abilities end up saying things.

That's a pitiful story about losing strength to girls... shall we work out some more...

Or it doesn't extend to Else in physical ability, it doesn't extend to Linze in magical knowledge and training, it doesn't extend to Octave in swordsmanship, it doesn't extend to Yumina in bowing and courtesy...... how about, I'm getting depressed.

"You've finally settled down."

"I still have a lot of details to buy..."

"… let's buy it little by little and get it all together"

"Right, that's it for today"

Indeed, there is still a lack of fine objects. Dishes, detergents, daily groceries. Other bath buckets... oh, and not enough cleaning tools? You should only have brought a bucket or a rag or two. Do you even have a trash can or something? There's something I need to buy.

We'll all discuss what we need and make it a list. Let's get it all together later. When everyone was giving their opinion like that, Mr. Lime brought several men and women from across the gate.

"Sir, these are the people I spoke to earlier. Could you please hire someone with a solid identity?"

I knew my husband was unfamiliar...... Can't you manage to make me change the way I call you? When they call me husband or something, I feel so old. I don't think it would look good if it wasn't for at least another decade or so...

"I'm from the Made Alliance, my name is Lapis. Best regards,"

"I'm from the Made Alliance as well. Ah, my name is Cecil ~. Best wishes ~"

Two people in maid clothes bow their heads in front of me. Someone with dark hair bob cuts and a serious looking vibe is Mr. Lapis, and someone with bright brown hair and a cheeky smile is Mr. Cecil. Are they both around twenty years old or something? They are both dressed in made-up clothes, and on their heads Katyusha is called the predetermined white brim.

And there's no such thing as a made-up guild... It seems that guild approved maids are treasured, with rigorous background checks and education, due to the theft and crime of everything by maids.

They said they would clean the house and manage it under Mr. Lime.

"My name is Julio, and I'm a gardener. This is my wife Claire."

"It's Claire. I'm a cook."

The next person I've greeted was a couple in their late twenties.

A blonde young man who looks like a good person and a red-haired woman who looks like a good person again. You look like a couple. Both look relaxed.

Julio is the son of a friend of Mr. Rhyme's. Ask them to manage their gardens, from flower care to home gardens. Your wife, Claire, is a dedicated Mr. Cock who will have our meals cooked.

Until now, he has been training as an apprentice at Cock, where he serves a nobleman with a king's capital. Next time, shall I show you a collection of recipes I gave Micah as well?

"It's Tomas. I took a former King's heavy infantry."

"It's a hack. In ex-kingdom light cavalry."

Oh, heavy and light. The shape remains the same. Are they both in their 50s or so? They both recently retired from the Knights of the Kingdom, and it seems that Mr. Lime spoke up. They're taking turns guarding the mansion gatekeepers. They're going to do the gate's turn at night, so I wonder if it's going to take turns.

So isn't it hard for the two of us? Should I hire one or two more? Let's leave that to Mr. Lime.

And Tomas and Hack... Tom and Hack? I must have been a jerk kid when I was a kid.

I was not particularly dissatisfied, so I did what Mr Lyme said.

"Tomas and Hack will be passing through because they have their home in King's Capital. The other four and I would like to let you live here, would you mind?

I accepted Mr. Lime's offer. [M] There are plenty of rooms, and nothing wrong with them.

Julio and Claire are husband and wife, so they said it would be fine in one room, but then they decided to let them live apart. Separation is more than enough in my former world. [M] I want the couple's time to be taken care of.

Ask each of them to give you a commission and buy everything you need. I gave Mr. Lapis and Mr. Claire another piece of money, and asked Mr. Lapis to buy the groceries I had just listed, and Mr. Claire to buy food and cookware.

Soon everyone else went shopping, but Mr. Lyme walked into the house wanting to inspect the mansion. He wants to see for himself more details than he works here. I lose my mind at all.

"Something keeps deciding."

I'm not even used to the house yet, but I got seven more servants. Will the money or something be okay? I have the money the king gave me, so I'll be fine for a while though.

Well, I can't help but care.

"If you leave it to me, I'll be fine. Your father hasn't served Dada since he was a child."

I didn't know you were going to hire the king's caretaker.

"That's all I expected, Mr. Winter Night."

Naturally, Yumina drinks tea with the face that That's the pressure again......

"... but we can't manage any of this alone... and I honestly appreciate having a competent butler,"

Linze crumbles as she gives cookies arranged on the table to Amber, who falls asleep on her lap. You're absolutely right. I guess I'll take care of a lot of things from now on.

Hmm? I heard a carriage stop at the gate. Are the maids Lapis back? Did you even ask for a carriage because there was a lot of luggage?

I was thinking about that, and Mr. Lyme came here from behind the mansion.

"Sir, the Duke of Ortolinde and Lady Susi are here"

"What, the Duke and Su?

I am the first official customer of this house. Well, what can I do for you?
