Chapter 489: It’s been a while, Moulin-san


    Today, I came to Volton.


    Sophia, as always, Maribelle, and Sebastian were apanying me.


    Recently, Maria and Akane seemed to be busy with prototype designs of clothes in the Sanctuary.


    We hade to the Moulin very Company using an ordinary carriage.


    As for why were using an ordinary carriage, its because the carriage Tsubaki pulls was too conspicuous.


    Obviously, Tsubakis build and presence after having gone through multiple evolutions also stood out too much. And anyone would know immediately who was inside.


    And so, we prepared the ordinary carriage that Sebastian and the maids use in the Volton Mansion.


    We have arrived.


    Thanks, Sebastian.


    Sebastian who served as the driver called out to us that we have arrived at the Moulin very Company.


    When we parked the carriage into the carriage storehouse, the horse keeper of the Moulin verypany took care of the horse.


    When I alighted the carriage, I was greeted by Moulin-san.


    It has been a long time, Iruma-sama. It makes me happy every time I hear rumors about your activities.


    Long time no see, Moulin-san. I came to talk to you today.


    Sophia then got down and next came Maribelle, and Sebastian left the carriage seat.


    Ill introduce you. Sophia doesnt need any introduction, but he is my butler, Sebastian. And she is Maribelle, the head maid who supervises all the maids in my house.


    It is a pleasure to meet you, Moulin-sama. I serve as the head butler of the Iruma family, please call me Sebastian.


    I act as the head maid of the Iruma family. Its nice to meet you.


    Thank you for your show of cordiality. I am the proprietress of thispany, please call me Moulin. Why are we still outside? Pleasee in.


    Moulin-san led the way into thepany, and after drinking tea and chatting idly in the parlour room for guests, I talked about business for today.


    Actually, Im looking for someone who could help with clerical work.


    I see youve been doing well. As to be expected, theres a limit to how much you can do by yourself, Iruma-sama, I see.


    Exactly. Theres so many documents that I need to deal with with everything Ive been doing that it just doesnt end even with Maribelle and Sebastian helping out


    I understand. Please wait a moment. Ill see if we have any children that I could refer to you, including those in the shop we have at the royal capital.


    Please do.


    The Moulin very Company has been operating soundly, and they seem to be having a boomtely that they had even opened a store in the Royal Capital.


    We waited for Moulin-san who had left the room momentarily, and she came back with a shop clerk who carried a thick file.


    As you would already be aware of, Iruma-sama, debt ves have all sorts of backgrounds. There are variety of cases, such as with Sophia-sama who was sold as a prisoner of war is a rare case, and Maria-sama who was sold when she was a child. Naturally, this file includes those who have incurred debts on their own, but we have excluded those who ruined themselves through vices like alcohol and gambling.


    Even if someone is in debt because of their own doing, there were cases where they had no choice but to do so. They seem to have investigated that in much detail.


    In mypany, we properly educate the children so they will not be embarrassed no matter where they go. As such, I could still rmend many candidates, but I think it would be difficult for otherpanies to have ves who can take on clerical or civil duties.


    I looked at the file with Maribelle and Sebastian.


    Inside the file, the ves name, gender, age, and the reason they turned into debt ves, and other information were written down. Additionally, there were other ves who had been sheltered and trained by the Moulin very Company ever since they were children, just like Maria had, were also included.


    What were looking for are sons and daughters of merchant families, who were not responsible for their own fall into very, and have no troubling behaviors, I guess?


    Also, how about the people who received training from Moulin-dono ever since they were children?


    Youre right. The final personality judgement could only be left to the Great Spirits, so how about we make a long list and interview them?


    D-did you say G-great Spirits?


    When the words Great Spirits came from Maribelles mouth, Moulin-san was unusually surprised.


    Yeah, the truth is that the people employed at our mansion had all been epted after an interview with the Great Spirits.


    I exined that the Sanctuary was a peculiar region, and the only people who could enter it were those deemed eptable by the Great Spirits.


    U-umm, the Great Spirits can see through a person?


    Well, enough to tell if the person is rtively good or not.


    T-thats amazing.


    Despite Moulin-san seeming a bit withdrawn for some reason, Sophia, Sebastian, Maribelle, and I made a list of the people here.


    For the time being, we decided not to take the ves in their store at the capital into consideration, to only choose from the ves present here at this moment, and if there arent enough after interviews, then we decided we would take interviews even from the capital store.
