Chapter 818


    I finished talking to Ms. Gelda<hr>


    “If I’m being honest, I was thinking that I might not be suited for the post. After all, you have seen me fail a number of times…”


    “Well… I won’t say that you didn’t.”


    She sometimes tripped for no reason, and was quite clumsy.


    Thankfully, it had never resulted in anything serious. Just spilling a few drinks on people.


    But she was not as nervous and tense as before. And her failures were not as numerous.


    Apparently, the head maid had been teaching her well. Also, she had helped us quite a lot, so I didn’t feel she was ill-suited at all.


    “But you have seemed quite careful recently. And have made fewer mistakes. So I wish you wouldn’t think that. Even though it’s my fault for beingte…”


    “No, Mr. Takumi. Actually, yesterday…”“Huh?”


    As Ms. Gelda found it awkward, Ms. Lyra exined. Apparently, she was still making mistakes all the time, and I just happened to not see them.


    “We-well… I hope you will try your hardest to improve…”


    “Yes. And I shall watch Gelda closely.”


    “I’m sorry…”


    “Ah, but please don’t get too nervous about it again. I mean, a little nervousness is fine. But if it goes too far, it will likely lead to more idents.”


    “…I will do my best.”


    There was still time left until we went to Range vige, so it would be best for Ms. Lyra to keep an eye on her… Though I felt bad for giving her more work.


    Ah, and there was one other important thing.


    “So…does that mean you agree toe with us, Ms. Gelda?”


    Well, judging by the flow of the conversation, it was almost certain. But I wanted her to say it clearly. As a formality, I suppose.


    “You, you really mean it? Surely there is someone else who will be more useful…”


    I thought she would agree immediately, but it was clear that she was not confident in herself.


    I suppose she was worried that she would end up causing us trouble. That was like her.


    “It will be fine. Even if you fail here and there… You have done well, looking after us. And so Leo and Liza would like for you toe. Isn’t that right, Leo?”


    “Wuff!”


    “I want sister Gelda toe too!”


    “Gelda. You should be more confident in yourself. One of the reasons that you fail so much is because you are so unsure. It causes you to be frantic or stiff from nerves. Don’t worry, you have been very useful. Not perfect, of course. But neither am I.”


    “Ms. Lyra… Leo and Liza… Yes, I understand! I shall go with you, Mr. Takumi. And do my best!”


    After Ms. Lyra deal the final blow…of encouragement, Ms. Gelda finally agreed.


    “Well then… I look forward to having you both with us.”


    “Wou!”


    I offered my hand and shook with Ms. Gelda.


    Leo ced her paw on top as well. Liza was so happy that she hugged Ms. Gelda.
