Episode 305 The Butler

Yesterday I had a hard time getting tangled up with a drunken Tesshin. Tesshin was also happy that Arisa and the others had become C-class students, but I guess he thought that compared to them, he was. But that doesn't mean I don't want you to get involved with me.

 Elmore made me a cup of tea. Thanks to his recuperation in the shadows, he seemed to have fully recovered.

Why don't you check the scrolls that Alisa and the others got?"

 I nodded at the sound of Metis' voice. The scrolls entrusted to me by Alisa and the others were still tucked away in the storage armoire.

I guess I'm kind of on hold because when new properties are added, I'm tempted to create new magic."

'You have something that has to take precedence.

I'm going to have to think about how to renovate the mansion and what to do with the practice field we're going to build in the basement of the yard. Metis, please think about it with me."

 Tired after thinking about it for the next three hours, I decided to go to the Adventurers' Guild for a break and then go out to eat. After arriving at the Adventurers' Guild and checking the status of the Narukami dungeon in the reference room, I was about to go outside when the branch manager stopped me.

 I went to the branch manager's office and asked him what he wanted.

You remember when I asked you if you had any idea who would be in charge of the mansion? Have you decided on that caretaker yet?"

 I was going to ask the branch manager to introduce me to the person who manages the mansion, but he said he didn't have any idea who it was at the time.

Perhaps the superintendent found them?"

More of a butler than a janitor."

Isn't ...... butler expensive?"

You must be making enough to pay your bills."

 Surely, he has enough income to pay his bills. However, I was hesitant because I felt that a butler is something that is hired by a very important person. When I asked the branch manager about the salary range for butlers, he told me that it varies from about 300,000 yen to several million yen per month as a take-home pay. I asked the branch manager about the salary of butlers and was told that it varies from 300,000 yen per month to several million yen per month.

 When I asked him what kind of person he was, he said he was a retired adventurer who had gone to England to study to become a steward. He is inexperienced, so the salary is not that high.

When I was an adventurer, I was a steady, hard-working guy."

 It seems he was an adventurer who belonged to a branch here and was active in the Suigetsu dungeon. His name is Kongoji.

Yukio, age forty-two, was a former magical wizard.

 If I establish a batallion, I will need someone to manage the compound. More people will visit the mansion when I am away, and if a lot of people are going to use the mansion, I may have to hire a housekeeper as well.

 I have been hiring a professional contractor to clean the mansion and maintain the garden once a month, but I don't think I can keep it up.

Please let me see him once. Then I will decide."

I'm going to interview him. Let's interview him."

 I was to interview this butler named Kongoji.

 A few days later, Kongoji visited the mansion and I greeted him myself. Kongoji was a tall gentleman of sorts.

I am Yukio Kongoji. I am Yukio Kongoji."

 As Bokden, the security shadow puppet, came running, I handed Kongoji an entrance permission bead. Bokden, who saw the bead, looked at Kongoji's face before returning to his rounds.

What is that?"

They are shadow puppets for security. I have ordered that only people I have officially introduced or those who have their beads are allowed to enter the mansion."

 I told him that there were also bear-shaped security shadow puppets in the building.

You have tight security, don't you?"

We have some valuable things in storage in the garden.

 When I entered the mansion, I found Cress, a bear-shaped shadow puppet, at the entrance. Kongoji reacted with a start when he saw Cress, but he had heard about Cress and his friends from me, so he quickly calmed down.

 Elmore brought coffee as I led him into the living room.

Is he a shadow puppet too?"

Yes, it has a tail, but it is a humanoid shadow puppet. It has a tail, but it's a humanoid shadow puppet."

 Once he starts working here, he will need to get used to the shadow puppets. In that respect, Kongoji, a former adventurer, has guts and seems to be doing okay.

 After hearing about his adventuring days and his time in England, he felt that he could trust him. He decided to hire Kongoji and negotiated with him on salary and other matters, on the condition that what he saw and heard in the mansion would be kept secret. The salary was not cheap, but it was reasonable for a butler.

 I gathered the security shadow puppets and Tamegoro and others and introduced Kongoji, who was to be my butler. I ordered the security shadow puppets to follow his instructions.

 Since he has a family in Kongoji, he is not a live-in worker, but a commuter. His main job is to maintain the mansion and to receive visitors to the mansion.

 After the interview was over and Kongoji left, I sat down on the couch and stretched.

Phew, I think I can handle this."

What do you do when Mr. Kongoji is off or at night?"

 What do we do? It is possible to increase the number of butlers and have them work in three shifts, but that seems like it would cost too much money. How about creating another humanoid shadow puppet to learn the butler's job?

 When I talked to Metis, he said he could only do a simple job.

You could just go up to the gate and welcome visitors as they come in.

 I don't know how much it can do, but it might be interesting to have Kongoji educate the butler shadow puppet.

 Now that we have put together a renovation plan for the mansion and the structure of the underground practice hall, we can ask the construction company to help us. Now I finally have time to check the new characteristics. I take out the scroll of characteristics and unfold it.

 The wise man system automatically starts up and takes in the information from the scroll. After the magic circle disappeared from the used scroll, the wise man system was checked.

 The property was added to its D-particle secondary mutation column.
