I talked with Ms. Gelda
“As for the room locations, you will have to ask Sebastian about that later. But I think it should be a similar layout as this house.”
“Yes, certainly. However, should I be hearing this before the others?”
“Well, you are the closest and easiest to talk to. And I am relying on you.”
“Ye-yes. Thank you! I will do my best so that you are not disappointed.”
We had not decided on the butlers yet, and so for now, ms. Lyra was the best person to talk to.
There would be other servants, including the ones to go with Claire. I didn’t know who the head maid would be though. I did not want to put too much pressure on Ms. Lyra… But she looked happy at the mont, thankfully.
“Ah, I’m sorry. You had business with Gelda. I will call her right away then.”
Ms. Lyra bowed and then went over to Leo and the others.
“Mr. Takumi. You called?”
“Yes. Thank you, Ms. Lyra.”
“Not at all.”
“So, Ms. Gelda. I’ve been thinking about it for so ti, but was not able to talk to you about it. For that, I am sorry. It is your decision… But, would you consider coming with , Leo and Liza to Range village? Well, with Ms. Lyra. And since Claire will be there, you should not find it too different…”
“No, while I will be there, our roles will be different. So it should be fulfilling work, I think.”
Well, that was not wrong.
Ms. Gelda looked quite surprised by the proposition. And she was covering her mouth with her hand… Though, it didn’t seem like it was in horror…
In fact, she looked quite emotional.
“M-Ms. Gelda? Why… Do you not want to go? What is it?”
“Wuffu…”
I beca a little frantic, as I saw tears fall from her eyes.
Leo had stopped running and was now looking at with an exasperated expression…
“Don’t worry, Mr. Takumi. Gelda is happy.”
“I-is that so?”
“Yes. Gelda, it is rude to cry and not say anything. You are happy, aren’t you?”
“Ah! Yes! Of…course!”
Ms. Lyra patted Ms. Gelda gently on the back and smiled encouragingly.
“I don’t mind… It was just a little surprising… So you do not hate the idea?”
“Yes… I’m sorry for losing control of myself. I was so sure that you would not ask …”
As we waited for Ms. Gelda to calm down, we sat at the table and Ms. Lyra poured us so tea.
As it was not more common to eat outdoors, the table was kept near the entrance for easy use. Especially so that Tilura and I could rest during training.
“Gelda knew that you had invited , Mr. Takumi. And so she must have been wondering why you wouldn’t ask her.”
“I always ant to ask both of you… I’m sorry for not doing it sooner.”
“Not at all…”
I now realized that I had not been thoughtful enough.
Nearly everyone in the house knew that Ms. Lyra was coming with , but Ms. Gelda had not even been asked..
They both took care of us, and we t them often, so there were plenty of tis I could have done it.
But I had been thinking of other things and just forgot…
