After that little bit of playing around, everyone had gotten up and gathered up in the suite’s living room to enjoy the breakfast that Lasha prepared.
“… Why is it that I’m eating the breakfast my own maid prepared even in an inn?”
Shien kind of wanted to ask that, but he keeps feeling like he’d lose if he actually said it out loud.
Therefore, Shien stopped caring.
Thinking about it, there’s no way that the food made by the inn can be any better than what this invincible maid makes anyways, right?
Even Airi was eating happily. Beatrice, who just woke up, was also looking at it with curiosity. Only after Lasha started feeding her from the side did she finally blink and start obediently opening her mouth like a little animal and start happily eating as well. It just goes to show that Lasha’s cooking skills conquers all.
Shien was also enjoying the breakfast that Lasha made, only he felt like it seemed a bit noisy outside.
“Why’s it so noisy?”
Shien asked without much thought.
Airi obviously wouldn’t be able to answer that question.
She herself had no idea, or rather, she simply had no interest whatsoever.
It was instead Lasha who spoke like she’s a newscaster.
“Those are all the people who came running and are joining in on the commotion due to Lady Yulin’s existence.
Shien nodded at Lasha’s words.
True enough, after a day had passed, likely the entirely of Jiltry has learned that this inn had a noble with a dragon staying in it, right?
Plus, no matter which world it is, there’s always no lack of people who’d try to join in on any events, so there would definitely be people who simply came by to watch.
Besides that…
“Ever since we came in last night, there were representatives of a total of 12 magic potion workshops, eight magic tools workshops, and six magic weapons workshops who came by the inn in hopes of an audience with Mister Shien. Add in the various merchant and noble families big and small alike, there were even more who came in the morning. They all want to purchase dragon materials from Mister Shien. That is likely a major contributor to all the noise outside as well.
Lasha lightly reported something that Shein had no idea about, making him pause for a moment.
“Were there really that many people looking for me yesterday?” Shien was surprised, “Why didn’t I know about that?”
Lasha responded thus to that question.
“I judged that Mister Shien would not wish to see those people or want to do any business here.” Lasha calmly stated, “Therefore, I sent them all away.”
… Okay, you’re amazing alright.
Shien had no idea that this maid had actually done so many things without his knowledge.
Yet, every single thing that the maid did happens to also be exactly to Shien’s wishes. The sheer amount of convenience that brings makes it so that he has no room to complain either.
Just how the heck did that guy Leisha manage to create and train up such an utterly invincible maid?
She probably didn’t have that kind of ability herself, right?
All Shien could say is that he admits defeat.
Of course, although it does feel a bit scarry, he had to admit that this maid really is capable, to the point where she’s utterly peerless.
Shien keeps getting the feeling that if this continues on, then he’ll end up heavily reliant on this maid, to the point where he wouldn’t be willing to return her to Leisha anymore in the end.
… Should he maybe just take her, make it a fait accompli, and make her his completely?
Shien started seriously considering the idea.
Then, Lasha suddenly made a statement.
“Even if Mister Shien were to take my body, I still won’t completely stay with you.”
That unbelievably calm statement nearly made Shien do a spit take.
“… Is that kind of thing all that’s in your head?”
The look that Airi gave Shien was one of extreme dissatisfaction.
“?”
Beatrice, who was obediently letting herself be fed, tilted her head to the side like there was a question mark over her head. She didn’t seem to understand what Shien and the others were talking about.
“Cough, let’s eat already.”
Shien was utterly mortified, so he could only bury his head down and eat. He didn’t dare to say anything anymore, and he only had one thing in his mind at this point.
(Did that invincible maid finally learn how to read minds?)
Holy shit that’s terrifying…
…
After finishing breakfast, Shien’s group once again got ready to move on and headed out the doors of the inn.
Beatrice was being led around by Lasha, and she was still acting completely obedient. She simply followed everyone else without issue while looked around every once in a while like she was curious about everything in the world.
“Please have a safe journey.”
Behind them, the owner of the inn was warmly sending off Shien’s group while bowing and nodding.
As for outside the inn, it was packed full of people.
“Quick, look! That’s the noble from the Capital!”
