Chapter 29: I don’t need a valet

After seeing the cooks, I took a bath for the first time in a long while!

My brother was in the room with me, but he went out in a blink of an eye like a crow’s bath. Now I’m relaxing alone in the bathtub.

Huh? Somehow the outside is noisy —

“My lady, no!”

Lara rushed in …

“Luke, I want to join too!”

Lara is already naked, is this okay?

I don’t have the lolicon attribute, but I’m in trouble cause I can’t decide if it’s okay to take a bath with a child of this age in this world.

“Sorry, Your Highness Luke! I was looking for the young lady cause she wasn’t in her room, but there was a person who saw her enter here … I came in a hurry, but Lara-sama had already taken off her clothes. I couldn’t stop her, please forgive me. “

“No, I’m fine … I mean … Aside from her being a child, it’s more of a problem that a noble daughter came in.”

Originally, a caretaker was attached to the bathing of royalty and upper aristocrats, but my brothers and sisters refused it.

Me? Luke wanted to have a cute maid, but though reluctant, he gave up because his brother and sister were angry at him for some reason.

“♪ In fact, in the background, the female servants cried and hated helping Luke bath. The older brothers and sisters said they wouldn’t have a caregiver so that Luke wouldn’t be hurt by knowing it. “

“Seriously? By the way, I remember that when I was a kid, there were people who helped me … I was told by my brothers and sisters to enter alone from around the age of 14.”

“♪ Well as for Lara, you can stop her if you don’t like it master, but it’s okay if she’s that age.”

“Luke onii-chan… can I join you?”

“It’s okay. Come in, I’ll wash your hair after your body warms up.”

“Yay!”

“But … to make Luke sama do such a thing …”

“It’s no problem. I had a younger sister who was about the same age, and I always went in and washed her hair.”

“Alright … I’ll call someone to come to help you with bathing.”

“I should’ve told Duke Guile in advance that I don’t need an assistant?”

“… I understand … Then, thank you for your help.”

She finally left, did she think I can’t take a bath on my own?

“♪ She’s Lara,’s maid. Right now, she’s in a hurry to go to the duke to discuss this matter. “

“Discuss..? 』\

“♪ Even though she’s a child, she couldn’t decide for herself whether it’s okay to let the daughter take a bath with a boy around your age, so she went to confirm.”

“What …why didn’t you tell me? Isn’t this really a problem?  It was no good after all … He might get angry? 』\

“♪ It’s okay. As a young girl who’s just turned 6 years old, she’s not treated as a woman in this world. “

No one came in angry after that, so it seems that there was no problem.

I wash my head, body, and face with a mysterious liquid,  although my body is clean, my hair is a bit stiff … It was too dry.

After washing my hair and body, I’m soaking in a bathtub with Lara and warming my body before I leave.

“The frog’s poem is ~ ♪

You can hear it ~ ♪

Gwa! Gwa! Gwa! Gwa!

Gero Gero Gero Gwa Gwa Gwa Gwa ♪ ”

I voiced the sound of a frog very realistically.

“Luke onii-chan, what frog screams like this.

“Hyaha! Lara, that’s a bullfrog! And it looks like Mecha!”

She was surprised to find out …

My body warmed up, and when I left the bathroom, the maid I mentioned earlier was waiting behind the tsuitate at the dressing room. {TN: Tsuitate are those Japanese sliding doors}

“Thank you, your Royal Highness Luke. I was able to hear the joyful voice of Lara sama for the first time in a while.

“♪ After Sasha got sick, Lara tended to block her out others and was without a smile recently. While she was waiting at the dressing room, she was relieved to hear Lara’s happy laughter and singing. “

She called out from behind the tsuitate, but apparently she would change Lara’s clothes.

The maid quickly dressed Lara, gave me the Duke’s message, then went out.

He wants me to come to the reception room where I first entered.

* * *

When I entered the reception room, the maid who was waiting for me immediately served me a cold drink.

This girl is the maid who guided me to the bathroom. There are many maids, so I can’t remember them all…

“I would have wanted you to enter slowly, I’m sorry about Lara.”

“Luke usually bathes his sister, Chiruru, so he’s used to it.”

“Why is it brother answering”

“You may be tired, but I have something to tell you. This time It’s about your valet when you go to school.”

“Huh? I’m taking a valet?”

“Oh yeah … the dragoon school we attended didn’t allow servants to accompany us.”

Speaking of which, my sister who attends the magic department properly had a maid, well, Lulu, who was my fiancé.

“Brother, why doesn’t the Dragoon School allow servants to accompany us?”

“Isn’t there an explanation given in the first class?”

“Maybe I didn’t hear it …”

“You’re the one who rides the drake … because the main purpose is training for combat, you need to prepare a drake without your servants, right?”

“Oh yeah … it’s not that easy to prepare a drake.”

“Right, good grades and drake owners … when that happens, that person is a high-ranking aristocrat … because low-ranking aristocrats can’t own a drake so easily.”

So, this time I’m going to the magic department, It seems that it’s customary to take a valet who matches your family.

“Actually, it was sudden, so I haven’t prepared a valet yet. The talented people of the same age have already enrolled this year …”

That’s makes sense… but actually, I don’t need a servant.

“I don’t need a valet”

“That’s not good. People with a family less than Count rank are not allowed to be accompanied by a valet, but on the flip side, it’s like saying that people above  Count rank have to bring them. “

Many noble children are lazy like Luke was. Some of them can’t even change clothes because their servants do everything from an early age.

There is no reason for a teacher to take care of such children, and the school decided to allow the bringing a squire for such children, which is the squire companion system. It’s been customary for a while to bring in excellent servants who match the prestige of the house.

“So you tried to find someone for me but they refused it!”

“Luke!”

“Hmm … that’s not a mistake … your rumors are terrible, so I was thinking of adding someone to act as a stopper but… hmm …”

If it’s as rumored, they’d think I would break into a girls’ dormitory at school or look into a bath or changing room.

But I really don’t need a servant … it’s just a hindrance to getting rid of the evil god.
