After it was decided that I was going to work by living in Leonardsama’s mansion, I was dispatched as soon as the formalities were completed. Having been brought along by him to his house, my mouth was wide open at the gates.
「Wah~…」
Like a blockhead, I was speechless. Beyond the gates was a magnificent twostory mansion. There were four chimneys that stood towering over the surrounding. The outer walls that were made out of stone had vines twined all over it; giving it a certain ambiance. Inside the grounds, there was a tall tower that I could see above the mansion, and in front of my eyes, there were two large double doors in the entranceway. This was much more splendid than I had imagined, somehow it made me felt more nervous. Its magnificence could not even be compared to a noble’s mansion.
「This way」
「YeYes」
Beckoned, I continued to follow him until we reached a large door and huh? It doesn’t have any keyholes or handles?
At my confusion, Leonardsama pointed at the door and announced.
「Put your hands. Like this」
「Ah, yes!」
After I placed my palm on the door like he told me, a slightly bright faint light was visible first and then, the door opened. … Eh, what’s going on?
「Recognition」
「Recognition?」
Confused by Leonardsama’s mutter, I asked again.
And when I did, he opened his mouth and talked in a matteroffact tone.
「Yes. The door has remembered you」
「…Uhh, does this mean that because it doesn’t have any keyholes or handles, unless it recognizes the person, the door won’t open?」
When I inquired, he nodded his head in agreement.
I see, as one would expect from a magician.
Admiring it earnestly, I was gazing at my own hand when Leonardsama stretched out his hands and wrapped both of them around mine. Eh, how come?
「Strange?」
「Huh? Err, there’s not particularly wrong with my health」
「But your hand」
「Ah, it’s the first time I’ve personally experienced magic since I was born so it was slightly wonderful. That’s why I was just examining it」
It seems he misunderstood. Should I be delighted by the lingering feelings he gave me? Or, should I warn him not to suddenly touch women? Hmm.
As I was considering those things, Leonardsama released my hand and started to walk off.
「Let’s go」
「Yes」
I entered the mansion after Leonardsama. As soon as I stepped foot inside, I noticed an odd atmosphere that I hadn’t felt before. That didn’t meant I couldn’t hear any sounds but I had a hunch it was noisy somewhere … Was this also the effects of magic?
「Somehow, I feel like I’m hearing noises…」
When I said that, Leonardsama gave a huge nod.
「It’s unstable here because of the child」
「The child … Ah, the child which I had been arranged to look after?」
「Yes. It’s because of itsit’s abundant mana」
It appears that due to that child’s abundant mana, it had an affect on the atmosphere air in the mansion.
Leonardsama steadily walked and began to descend down the stairs leading to the basement. Mm? Something doesn’t feel right?
「Leonardsama, where are we heading?」
Flustered, I chased after his back while chucking the question at Leonardsama.
「The basement」
「I can see that but, umm, why the basement?」
「Because it’s there」
「Wh~o?」
「I’m Lily. I’ll be working in this house as a maid starting from today. What’s your name?」
「… Jill」
