CH 15

In a sense, I lost my energy after driving out an opponent who was more tiring than the villainess.

While I was gloomy at my desk, Margot got up from bed and made me a cup of tea.

“Thank you,” I said.

“No, it’s thanks for helping me with Linda,” Margot said.

“So what is your main job, Margot-san? Spy? Maid?”

“While working as a maid, I memorize things that catch my eye and report them to my master, so both are my main jobs,” Margot said.

“Do you fight or infiltrate?” I asked.

“That’s a maid with a different set of duties,” Margot said.

Somehow, my understanding of maids collapsed and I don’t really understand what they are now.

A maid in this world is a job that makes tea and doing the cleaning, and shouldn’t fight with maid-style combat techniques or use maid ninjutsu.

Maybe.

After drinking the tea, I regained my energy.

Let’s go take a bath and freshen up a bit.

“I’m going to take a bath,” I said.

“Take care,” Margot said.

I run down the stairs with a change of underwear and a pouch containing a bath towel.

It’s nice to be able to use the public bath at any time in the girls’ dormitory.

So, in the dressing room, I quickly took off my clothes and went to the bathroom.

Corinna-chan isn’t here today, and there are two or three ladies I don’t know.

I pour hot water over myself, wash my body briefly, and enter the bathtub.

“Fuwaaaaa,” I said.

Fuh, I’ve come back to life.

After all, baths are lovely.

I’m glad that this isn’t really a medieval world.

I relax in the large public bath in the evening.

I get out of the bath and dry myself with a bath towel.

I’m a little dissatisfied with the lack of hair dryers in this world.

But if you make a hair dryer with magic, it will be a combination of Fire magic and Wind magic, so development will be difficult.

When it comes to making a magic tool, I wonder if I should combine magic stones.

It’s the domain of alchemy. Let’s ask Carol next time.

I want a hair dryer.

I put on my new underwear and change my uniform.

Somehow, my boobs don’t grow in this world.

No, even in my previous life, I was small.

Right now, it’s just a feeling, I wonder if it’s puffy.

I wouldn’t say I want to be in Yuri-Yuri-senpai’s class, but I want them to be plump to some extent.

When I look in the large mirror, I can see the finest beautiful girl with blond hair in the front, long at the back, and bright blue eyes.

Oh, I’m beautiful.

Or rather, my appearance is also a cheat.

I’m 16 now, so I wonder if I’m mature enough to graduate from school.

How fun, how fun.

When I returned to my room, Corinna-chan had returned.

“Makoto, welcome back, are you going out to eat?” Corinna asked.

“Let’s go, Corinna-chan. Are the maids out working?” I asked.

“They’re serving staff for their master’s dinners,” Corinna said.

The two of us get up together and go down the stairs again.

When I went to the dining room, I found that the room was divided into two by a screen.

On one side, there was a group of stylish tables covered with beautiful cloth, and on the other side, a group of unrefined bare tables.

It seems that the more stylish one is the seat for upper-class nobility.

Lower-class aristocratic meals are self-service. It seems that you put the food on the tray yourself at the counter.

You also pour the tea from the kettle into the cup yourself.

Today’s lower-class nobility’s menu is a chicken stew, black bread, and bean sprout salad.

The menu for the upper-class nobles consisted of beef stew, fried white fish, corn potage soup, marinated salmon salad, white bread, and seasonal fruits.

The difference in treatment between upper-class nobles and lower-class nobles is so amazing that it makes me laugh.

Well, the room charge is high for that amount of service.

“The highest-ranking nobles haven’t come to the dining room,” I said.

“The people above the clouds have a kitchen in their room, so they have a chef maid cook for them,” Corinna said.

“The only people who come to the dormitory cafeteria are those below the rank of an earl,” someone else said.

I wonder if Carol is eating in her room too?

Anne-san does seem to be a good cook.

Now, let’s eat.

Now.

Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, munch.

“Corinna-chan, the chicken in the stew doesn’t soften no matter how much you chew it,” I said.

“That’s what dormitory meals are like. Just do your best to bear with it, Makoto,” Corinna said.

I’m seriously considering taking an upper-class noble’s room with the temple’s money.

Well, I’d be exhausted if Linda-san is always nearby, so I dismissed it.

However, the taste of this dish is amazing.

It’s the poor quality of the ingredients rather than the cooking skill.

“I’m going to lose weight from this,” I said.

“My older sister was plump before she entered the Magic Academy, but after one year in the dormitory she became slender and surprisingly beautiful, it’s good for beauty!” Corinna said.

It might be good for beauty, but if I lose any more weight, I’ll become a chopping board.

If you eat something bad, your stomach will complain.

The black bread was also sour and hard.

I finished eating somehow.

Whew, I feel like I’ve accomplished something great.

“There’s no way we can eat something so terrible!! This isn’t even livestock feed!!” one of the ladies in a dress yelled as she overturned her dinner tray.

Food and wooden plates were scattered on the floor with a clattering sound.

“Even if you say so…”

“Karina, go outside the school and buy some bread!” the lady yelled.

It was Karina-san who was cleaning up the stew that had spilled onto the floor.

“What are you looking at!! It’s not a show!” the lady yelled.

Then, in a fit of anger, she stormed out of the dining room.

Karina-san cleared the dishes and walked over here.

“Makoto, is the bakery in town still open at this hour?” she asked.

“It might be too last minute, if they’re all sold out, they’ll close early,” I replied.

“Is that so…?” Karina said.

I kept my voice down.

“If it’s saint bread, I’ve bought it as a souvenir for everyone. Why don’t I give you some?”

“That’ll help,” Karina said.

“Can I have one too?” Corinna asked.

“There’s also something for Corinna-chan.”

Corinna had a bright smile on her face.

After returning the tableware to the return slot, the three of us went up the stairs to room 205.

“Why are nobles with maids eating dinner for the lower nobles?” I asked.

“It’s vanity, just vanity,” Karina said. “They’re viscounts’ daughters, so they can’t get an upper-class room at the last minute, but they’re in a position to have maids serving them.”

“It’s stupid, it’s a waste of money, even though it’s good to pay for the maid’s wages, why not just spend it on the meals?”

Corinna-chan is strict about wasting money.

“Won’t she be ordering upper-class nobles from next month?” Corinna asked. “The viscount does have a soft spot for his youngest daughter.”

“If you’re going to prepare bread from now on, it’s better to have it ready by noon, because it’s usually sold out in the evening,” I said.

“Understood,” Karina said. “Thank goodness we’re in the same room as the baker’s daughter.”

After entering the room, I took out the saint’s bread from the chest and gave it to Karina-san and Corinna-chan.

“You’ve really saved me…” Karina said.

Then, she made a frustrated face.

“I wish I could have eaten it myself.”

“I’ll give you mine, I can eat it at a later date,” I said.

“Are you sure? I’m sorry,” Karina said.

“It’s for my breakfast, so I don’t mind. I’m a baker’s daughter, so I’m tired of eating saint’s bread,” I said.

Or rather, I’m the developer of saint’s bread.

“I owe you a favor, Makoto. You’re a good person,” Karina said.

“Hurry up and take it with you,” I said.

“Okay, leave my bread on my bunk,” Karina said, quickly leaving with the saint bread in tow.

“Yummy! What is this, Makoto?!! This bread is ridiculously delicious!” Corrina said.

“Hehehe, that’s good to hear, let’s have some tea.”

“Thank you~.”

With the saint’s bread in her mouth, Corinna praised me.

After that, Margot came home, so I gave it to her too.

“Wow, Hiyoko-Do’s saint’s bread, this is delicious, isn’t it?”

“Thank you, thank you. Let’s have some tea.”

“Fufu, thank you very much.”

I drank tea while watching the two of them eating the saint’s bread.

Since Karina-san is back, I will serve tea to her as well.

“You were very helpful, Makoto. Even Ojou-sama praised me,” Karina said.

“No, no, I don’t care, I don’t care, we’re all in the same room,” I said.

“If you need anything for cleaning or laundry, just let me know and I’ll pay you back,” Karina said.

Karina is a housemaid.

Her job is to serve, clean, and do the laundry. She doesn’t seem to do anything like combat or espionage.

Karina-san took a bite of the bread and made a noise, saying, “Shaint Bread, sho ghood.”
