Chapter intermission 3
"Then there is no objection, we will change to this clothes that Arisa-dono has proposed starting this spring . "
After the head maid said so, the 20 maids inside the room cheered in joy at once .
But, that can't be helped I think . It's a brilliantly cute clothes that can't be compared to the dark grey plain work clothes that we have worn until now .
"Umm, head maid . "
When I look at the person who's asking, not only me, everyone's faces stiffen .
It's Meeda who's always saying unneeded things at bad times .
"Is there a budget to arrange such expensive looking clothes for everyone's share? If there's an extra budget, then I'd be happier with bonus . "
I'd like money too, but there's no way that bonus would come out .
After the head maid glares at Meeda with eyes like ices, she replies seriously .
"There is no extra budget . "
What'd you say?!
"Chevalier Satou-sama will bear the expense for the production of one set of maid uniforms including the matching aprons for everyone . "
Uhya, if it's for the shares of 20 people, I wonder how many gold coins it'd be?
I've had a guess after seeing Pochi-chan and the other's hairs and equipments, but he's really rich huh . What does he see in this kind of poor noble's place that he'd serve under it?
I guess he's really aiming for Karina-sama's knockers?
Get destroyed you big-breasts lovers .

"What's today's dinner I wonder~ . "
"Haa, I'm hungry~ . "
My coworker, Talna, and me enter the dining room . Since the work in the morning got dragged on, our lunches were also delayed .
Usually our meals consist of only boiled potatoes and salted soup, but it can't be helped that we're looking forward to it for the past week .
Pochi-chan and the others said, "Prey nano desu~ . ", and went on to hunt birds and other beasts . They put professional hunters to shame, but are all demi-humans this amazing?
"Oh, Talna, Erina . You've come at just the right time . "
The master of the kitchen, Gelt-obasan, called us .
Oh?! If she's here that would mean that!
"Don't tell me, chevalier-sama is using the kitchen?"
"That's right, looks like he's doing trial and error to make a dish called Karaage or something . "
Yes!
Talna's and my eyes meet, savoring in joy .
It's unbearable if we get driven out of the dining room if we make noise here .
"Hey hey, Gelt-san . "
"I know, wait a bit more . "
So even Gelt-san is also looking forward to it .
When the door opens, chevalier-sama's slave girl is carrying a plate with small dark brown lumps on it . What's this girl's name again? Was it Lili . Her face is a shame, but she's a good girl with no strange behavior .
"Thanks to Gelt-san's advice, it has come out well . Umm, although there are some from chevalier's trial mixed in, if you'd like . "
"Yeah, those starving maids over there will take care of it, no problem . "
"Yup, yup, if it's chevalier-sama's dish, I'd eat it no matter how much~"
"Yep, yep, I'm envious with you girls who could eat it anytime . "
I stab the karaage with a fork and carry it in front of my mouth . It's a bit bold of me since it's the first time I've seen this kind of dish, but if it's chevalier's dish, it must be delicious without doubt .
I put it in my mouth and bite it . Hot . But, it's delicious . It's different than grilled or steamed meat . What's this I wonder, I think the inside is chicken meat, but I'm not sure what's the crispy thing outside . But, it's delicious .
When I'm thinking of eating one more and put the fork on the plate, there's already nothing remaining .
"Erina, you sure can eat well . "
"Mou, Erina, I want to eat a bit more too . "
Oops, I thought of eating just one more, but I had already finished half of the plate myself .
Lili is giggling . That laughter must be because she's thinking that my way of eating is similar to another person . I've thought so .

"That's why the shortcut to increase the earning is by gathering population!"
"Even if you say that, what should we do about food supply . "
"We're back to our talk earlier for that . Let's readjust the land on this uselessly wide city, and put farms inside it like Seryuu city . According to master's survey, it should be possible to make fields on 70% of the city . "
I'm putting tea and tea-cake sweets on a place that doesn't disturb lady Arisa and consul Nina who are engaging in heated discussion .
Still, this girl really doesn't look like a 10 years old .
To talk politics in equal term with Nina-sama, she's surely a genius . Even Nina-sama and Baron-sama call her with [Dono] honorific even though she's chevalier's slave . On top of that, it seems that the prototype for the new maid uniform is made by her, amazing person is amazing in anything . God is unfair .
"How long does that man intend to sleep? Arisa-dono, aren't you working your master too much?"
"No way, we sleep together even today . "
Dangerous, I almost made a sound when I put down the cup .
