Is Sid it’s name? When I gazed at it whilst I pondered, the cat wagged its tail in

response.
… Come to think about it, it said “Master” earlier. I’m sure it’s not just an ordinary
cat.
「Um, Sidsan?
」
When I timidly called out to him, the cat looked up at me and opened its mouth.
「What’s up, jouchan?
」
Uwah, it spoke in human language, as expected! It called Leonardsama
“Master”;
does that mean it’s a familiar? By the way, a familiar is a magical beast or an animal
that is contracted to a magician, bound in a master and servant relationship.
「Er, excuse me, I’m Lily. This kid is Jill. We’ll be under Leonardsama’s
care from
this day forth, so nice to meet you」
「Oh! Nice to meet you」
Grinning, it smiled like an ikemen. No way, why is this cat so cool!

「So, as a person who finds it bothersome to socialize, and dreads it, why did
Master invite this little one and pretty lady over to the house?」
「I’m not little one, I’m Jill!」
「If you wish to be called that, you’ll have to grow bigger, little one」
Buu, even the cat’s figure that handled Jill with its puffed cheeks was cool. Or
rather, it’s embarrassing to be called a pretty lady. …No not really, mm.
「Leonardsama,
why did you summon Sid?」
When I asked Leonardsama,
Sidsan
raised its head towards Leonardsama
too
and added.
「Oh, that’s right! What’s the task?」
Leonardsama,
who was silently watching us until then, slowly pointed his finger at
me … Hnn? Me?
「Errand」

Ah, I see, We’ll get Sidsan
to go shopping instead of me or Leonardsama
… Eh,
isn’t it a cat? Even if it speaks, it’s a cat. Seeing how bewildered I was, Sidsan
came back to me with a question.
「What’s wrong?」
「Uhm …」
「Ah, it’ll be difficult to rely on me in this form. Just a moment」
With a pon sound, Sidsan
changed his appearance. … Yeah, who are you?
Now standing in the spot where the white cat was a young man with silky silver hair
who possesses the same gold colored eyes as Leonardsama.
Goodlooking,
he
seems to be an amiable man and an ikemen. … To an ordinary person like myself,
he was too blinding for me. It’s strange! What’s with this beauty ratio?
「What’s wrong, jouchan?
」
「No …I’m fine. I just felt like wanting to curse God for a moment」
I do understand that it is tough to be beautiful. But for those who have mediocre
looks, it feels unfair …

When I thought of that, Sidsan
said “It’s alright” and brushed my head gently. This
handsome’s skills are so high that I think I’ll dying from cuteness.
Er, yeah, since I’m at fault, please quietly pardon me, seriously!
「Are you okay?」
「Yes, I’m fine. Sorry to worry you, Jill」
Looking at me worriedly, I brushed Jill’s head and limply smiled.
No way, what’s with this kid that’s bursting with moe. Why do I want to give this kid
a hug immediately? Too adorable!
My expression loosened up when Sidsan
pulled on the cuffs of my clothes.
「So, what is the errand?」
「Ah, yes. I’ll like you to get me some eggs and meat, but …」
「Mm~, would buying three days’ worth be enough for now?」
「Yes. Thanks for helping me」
「Mm, you don’t have to be so formal with me. Well then, I’m off, Master」

While fluttering and waving his hands, Sidsan
laughed sarcastically and left to go
shopping.
Hmm, I never thought familiars could be so humanlike.
I don’t know the details, but
familiars are supposedly unable to adopt human form. In the first place, I heard that
they’re unable to speak even if they are able to understand the human language
and they can only understand the person they’re contracted with through telepathy.
As I was brooding over it, Leonardsama
finished eating his apples and left the
plate on the table and began to walk.
「Come here, both of you. I’ll guide you」
「Ah, yes」
We followed Leonardsama
quickly. First, he lead us to my room. It was two doors
from the kitchen. Usually, a maid’s room is in the attic though.
Inside the room was a comfortable looking bed and closet, and though it was small,
it was furnished with a desk and chair. There was also a jug and wash basin on top
of the rack. Alongside the wall is a tiny stove that I could use to warm myself.
Furthermore, it is an item that was constructed to heat up using a magic stone, not
firewood. This must have been expensive.

If it’s this room, then I don’t need to buy any additional furniture for the time being. It
was a room that had me thinking: Is it alright to provide me with such an agreeable
compensation package?
「Do you like it?」
「Yes. Is it alright for me to have such a lovely room?」
「Mm」
Pleased, Leonardsama
nodded his head and pressed on, leaving the room for the
time being. Just like that, we checked the other rooms on the first floor. Besides the
kitchen, there was the bathroom, living room, the toilets, the storage room and the
parlour. I’m sure Leonardsama
and Jill’s room must be on the second floor.
Hmm, will it be alright to let Jill sleep alone by herself right now …
「Here」
We were at the second floor when Leonard stopped in front of a room, beckoning
Jill. Nervously, Jill got closer to the room and slowly opened the door.
「Waa~」

「I tried my best」
Leonardsama
seemed somewhat proud after Jill’s delighted shout. Popping in
quickly, I saw that he had led us to simple tiny room.
It was a refreshing nursery with light pea green and white undertone. The room had
the same furniture as mine but they were designed for a child, even the colors were
adorable. Yup, frankly speaking, he has good taste.
Jill also seems to like it, the child’s eyes were sparkling. Leonardsama
looked
delighted as well. It’s a pleasant feeling.
Speaking of which, Leonardsama
said he had tried his best earlier but if I take the
interior into consideration, don’t tell me it was all done by Leonardsama?
「But the clothes aren’t done yet」
「Oh, you haven’t prepared the clothes?」
「Mm… I didn’t know the size」
「Well, children do grow rather quickly. It might be difficult to have those prepared
in advance」

I looked at Jill. Most of the child’s clothes had became dirty and was needed to be
changed. However, because I don’t have money to spend on clothes, I can’t even
go out to buy clothes … Should I take this chance to show off my skills?
「Leonardsama,
I can make them if it’s simple clothes and pajamas」
「Really?」
「Yes. However, I need cloth…」
Is there any good cloth I can use to make something? Before I could even ask, a
massive amount of cloth were handed over to me before my very eyes with a
thud… Handed over? Why is he using magic to make each and every single one of
them…
「Eh, umm, this?」
「You can use it」
Uh– EHHHH!? I don’t know where he pulled these out from but all of these massive
amounts of cloth were of outrageously good quality.
Although I felt awkward, it was a waste of him to go through such lengths to show
me such kindness. For now, I chose a light blue cloth which was soft and felt good.
If I use this, the child’s skin wouldn’t be hurt by it.

Carrying the cloth I selected, I headed towards the living room on the first floor.
Then, I called Jill over.
「Come here for a moment, Jill」
「What~is it?」
While I quickly took Jill’s measurements, I smiled at Jill who obediently came up to
me and quietly looked at me, puzzled. This time, I’m going to make a simple and
comfortable outfit, so this much should suffice.
「How long will it take?」
Since Leonardsama,
who sat beside me, asked the question, I worked my hands
while I answered him.
