Hmm~~,Unfamiliar ceiling,But next to me is a familiar little Lori。

"Good morning, Ellie." I pinched Ellie's little nose in a weird way.

"Woo~~ Good morning, Noron." Ellie slapped my hand away, rolled over and grabbed the pillow and went back to sleep.

Yesterday I discussed late into the night with Grand Prince Becolis and Mr. Richard about my joining the Grand Prince's faction and how I could help me develop Ellie's followers to a certain extent (unaware of Ellie's deity, of course). Later, during the meal, Becolis happily gave me a three-story villa with a courtyard in the aristocratic district of the imperial capital of Karon City, and gave me a gold card with 100,000 gold coins. I reciprocated the favor, and as a welcome gift for me to join his faction, I gave him Bingfeng. Beclis didn't refuse, and accepted it with a smile, after all, if he wanted to help foreign gods preach in the Human Empire, the price he paid would not be too small.

"Good morning, master, are you going to get up now?" I'll let the chef start preparing breakfast. ”

This is my head maid. The villa has always been equipped with a total of two maids, two male servants, a cook and a head maid. They are all hired civilians, and although they have the obligation to serve me, they are not slaves, and I cannot punish them too severely for no reason, otherwise they have the right to go to the Imperial Mercenary Office to sue me.

When I first arrived in the imperial capital, I really needed someone to help, so I accepted these six people and asked Ellie to probe at the same time. Fortunately, there were no undercover agents or anything, they were all innocent civilians in the imperial capital.

"Hmm," I looked at the plump otherworldly aunt who was close to forty years old with a friendly gaze, smiled at her, and nodded.

She gracefully lifted the maid's skirt and gently saluted me, took two steps back, and turned to leave my bedroom.

Put on the wooden slippers, stand up and pull up the curtains, move the left hand that was a little stiff after being slept by Ellie for a night, and then pull Ellie, who was still lying on the bed and unwilling to get up, to go to the bathroom to wash. While it's perfectly fine to use spells to clean ourselves, I'm habitually choosing to do it myself.

Cool, the clear water that had been magically filtered three times from the Landia River outside the Imperial Capital hit my face, but thankfully there were towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste from the Otherworld, not anything else weird.

My bedroom was on the second floor, so I pulled Ellie, who was already a little refreshed after washing, and greeted the two servants who were cleaning the room along the way, and went down to the dining room on the first floor, where the head maid and the cook were already waiting for us.

"Today's breakfast is pork bacon from the western suburbs of the imperial capital, because I don't know the taste of the host and the little master, so the chef pairs it with a medium-rare omelette and ham. Your host's drink is a small glass of Raldo's red wine, while Alice Filou's little host's is a glass of milk from Cido's farm. Also, there are some chef's homemade breads and small cakes. ”

The cook and the head maid stood aside, looking like a forty-year-old cook was nervous, probably because he didn't know the master's tastes, and was afraid that today's breakfast would leave a bad impression on the master, while the head maid was introducing me to the food on the table. From my cursory acquaintance with them yesterday, she and the cook were a couple, had never had children, and turned out to be serving an earl who had previously lived in this villa. However, the count died without an heir, so the villa was nationalized and passed into the hands of Becolis. It wasn't until last night that the villa was given to me with the servant's employment contract, and I naturally accepted it all.

These breakfasts looked good, and after carrying Ellie to her seat, she also sat down with anticipation.

"The bacon is a little salty, but you don't have to change it. I like to eat fully cooked food, and I don't drink alcohol, so I don't want to serve wine in the future, the bread is okay, and the small cake needs to be more creamy later, and Ellie likes to eat something sweeter. ”

I hesitated for a moment, then continued: "I don't like to eat something that is too strong, but if it's delicious, it's okay to have a stronger flavor. Also, I don't eat raw foods other than fruits and vegetables, so you have to keep in mind. ”

I turned my head to look at the chef, who was nodding nervously with his hands on his thighs, not daring to move.

"So," I turned to the head maid with a smile as she looked at the cute appearance of Ellie still competing with the last little cake, "Do I have any plans for today?" ”

The head maid was much stronger than her husband, she bowed her head slightly, and instead of looking directly at me, she looked at my chin, showing her respect for me: "Today, a gentleman named Bailey said that he would take the master and the little master to visit the imperial capital around ten o'clock today, and it is now nine o'clock, in addition, please let me introduce this villa, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, it is also convenient for you to redecorate later." ”

"Alright," I said, standing up and pulling Ellie, who had eaten the last bit of cake, "then, please show me a closer look at the construction of this villa, Chief Maid Bena." ”

Actually, I don't know what kind of architectural style is popular in the other world, but since this villa was given to me by Beccolis, it shouldn't be too low, right?

After sending the cook away, I followed Bena around, and got a general idea of the structure of the villa: on the ground floor was the living room, dining room, kitchen, and a well-decorated reception room, as well as a living room for several servants.

On the second floor was my bedroom with a bathroom, as well as three guest rooms with the same bathroom, a storage room, a reception room with a more upscale decoration, and a study. There were three bookcases in the study, and one of them was stuffed with enlightenment books that I lacked, but which were ubiquitous in aristocratic and wealthy merchant families, and some information about the racial habits and customs of the various ethnic groups on the continent of Laphia.

Phew, although these are just some of the books that can be found everywhere in many cities on the mainland, they have really helped me and Ellie, two outsiders.

Half of the third floor is open-air, made to look like a small garden, and the other half has some amusement facilities that should be common on the mainland, such as war chess and hero cards, and a small quiet room. The ashram is a necessary room in every practitioner's home, used to enter the shrine without being disturbed, and to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray in the temple. Not every professional can be like me, and the gods they serve stay in their own crests. Sometimes it takes a while for the gods to sense that a believer is praying. But there are also some professionals who are not liked by their own gods, do not pay much attention to them, do not perform heavyweight sacrifices, and the gods do not pay attention to his miserable situation. And the unlucky guy like me who angered the gods and was stripped of his crest. Once you have been deprived of the crest, most of the gods who are friendly with this deity will not accept your service, and those who are willing to accept it should also consider whether you are worthy of his friendship with the deity you originally served.

The time was almost up, I pulled Ellie back to the bedroom, changed into a dress suitable for traveling, and walked to the living room on the first floor, while drinking the black tea made by the maid who specially traveled with me, while quietly waiting for the arrival of Becolis, who was known as Bailey.

PS: It's still a little sore today.,Tomorrow should be okay...
