The people of the duke’s house did not care too much
“I knew that you were not a greedy man, Mr. Takumi…
“Indeed, he is not. How very unusual. But perhaps that is why good Leo decided to follow him.”
“A Silver Fenrir. The strongest monster… If a greedy person had one, the results…would be clear.”
“Wuff!”
“Uh, why are you so proud, Leo…? I didn’t even realize that you were listening.”
Was it because she heard her na?
“In any case…I don’t really know about that. But I just want to live a peaceful life with Leo and Liza.”
“Peaceful. It seems like a waste, but I suppose it is also fitting.”
“Yes. That is how Mr. Takumi is here… Except when he is doing his sword training.”
“Well, the sword training is quite fun for now. Of course, it’s not as important as the ti I spend with Liza and Leo. And the ti I spend with you, Claire.”
“Wuff!”
“Haha. Since I wasn’t able to give you enough attention before.”
“Wou!”
While I had bought her toys, that was not enough… Yes, spending more ti with her was a good decision.
Besides, Liza had been alone after Mr. Reyndorf passed away. But she had now stopped looking so lonely. And so I did not want her to go back to that.
Leo wagged her tail and barked happily, and so I petted her.
“Hehe. Leo seems so happy. Yes…when I look at father, I often think that he should pursue other hobbies instead of working so much.”
“I don’t agree. I think the master should work harder… But still, he does appear to be more youthful when around Mr. Takumi.”
“That is how fun it must be for him. Even though he is a duke, I don’t think he has many friends… Not many people he can talk with on equal footing.”
“Though he doesn’t care about formalities, other people do. But that is how Mr. Takumi is different.”
“I suppose…I am often acting rudely…”
“…”
“Wuff…”
“?”
It’s not like they taught how to talk with nobles at school. Besides, customs were different here anyways.
However, Claire and Mr. Ekenhart said that they didn’t mind. And Mr. Ekenhart was never that polite with how he ate at the dinner table.
“Well… I will be careful…”
“No! It’s fine. Just do as you like, Mr. Takumi. It is more natural that way. Just continue as you have.”
“I-I see… If you insist…”
“Lady Anneliese had her complaints. But this is not her house, and she has no say in the matter.”
Tsk. She must have thought that I was a very rude person…
I couldn’t help but feel a little bad.
“Sebastian! I thought we all agreed that her being fond of him was not a good thing!”
“Oh, perhaps I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry, Mr. Takumi.”
“No…”
Well, there was no point in thinking about what had passed. I would switch gears and be careful to not say anything rude in the future.
Though…I didn’t know if it was possible.
However, I did have experience working with clients, and could be polite. I just didn’t know if it would be enough when dealing with nobles…
