4. The Gentleman's March Rabbit
Aside from being forced to wear a fluttering outfit that looked like a breeze could lift her skirt, Luna didn't feel like she was being treated like a slave. In fact, if you can be a slave in such an environment, I believe that there will still be many people who are willing to squeeze their heads and fight.
As a maid who becomes two magicians who claim to be "witches", and enjoys the price of a spacious and tidy room, Luna needs to take care of the chores in the house for Alice and Irina, including the request of "three meals a day" given by Irina, who rarely speaks.
"It's a shame they've been able to live until now. ”
Luna sighed and wrung out the damp cloth she held in her hand, the dripping droplets reflecting the soft light of the morning sun.
This was her first day as the maid of Alice and Irina. In order to fulfill her duties, but also to repay the previous favor, and by the way, in order to pass the time that is really boring, Luna chose to clean the mansion of the eldest ladies as much as she could at this time that is definitely early in the morning.
The Western-style pavilion standing alone in the open space in the dense woods is really a large space for the three of them, which makes the air inside even colder than the outside, which is not a problem that can be solved by opening the window to bask in the sun.
Is this the environment that the magicians like? Luna couldn't understand.
The glass, which was originally just a little dusty, made a "rattling" sound after careful wiping, and if you work harder, you will be surprised when the ladies get up.
"Oh, I've been so used to it on the first day, it's really earned. ”
The sound behind her made Luna unconsciously turn her head, and Alice, who had been dressed up early, was staring at Luna's dress with interest, while Irina, who was not far away, was just facing away, looking like she was waiting for her companion.
"You...... Are you going to go out?"
"Well, go and listen to the teacher. If something goes wrong, you hide in the house and lock the door, but the average magician won't be able to find it. Then please take care of the house?"
After standing on tiptoe and rubbing Luna's hair like a pet, Alice quickly chased in Irina's direction. It seems that it is not only Alice who is going to study, but also Irina.
...... "......"
After nearly a morning, Luna walked towards the interior of the mansion with a bucket of water.
In fact, magicians also have this type of "learning", selecting and nurturing "real" qualified magicians from among all the ordinary people who "seem" to be qualified. Physical training, mental training, no matter which one is the evidence that the magicians are pushing the limits and keeping up with the progress of the times.
At least that's not the case with the magicians, who seem to be just holding a book in their arms forever...... Huh, books?
Luna, who was wiping down the table, suddenly noticed the only anomaly in the mansion, a heavy, wide old book lying on the table a little stubbornly, sobbing alone like a child who had run away from home. The cover of the hard shell was embroidered with fancy text, and Luna barely recognized a little bit after looking at it for a while.
[For my favorite child, Alice]
Alice...... Ah, that's probably the one Alice has been holding, it should have been with her all the time, is it because she forgot it? But now Alice and Irina have long since disappeared, and they can't run around if they don't know the way.

The sound of the clock's hands swinging echoed through the mansion as if it had been amplified countless times, and Luna, who was about to continue sweeping, was a little horrified to find that she could no longer take her eyes off Alice's book anyway.
I wonder what is recorded in it, and what kind of magic can exist in the books that the magicians use. It's just ordinary words, or is there something more wonderful?
It's so tempting, it's really like magic that catches my eye. Let yourself be like the "Alice" who saw the white rabbit and can't help but "catch up". If you just look at it, you shouldn't have any problems.
That's right, just a glance.
There was a parchment-like heaviness in his trembling fingers, and the pages were filled with elegant but not fancy words. It's clean and neat, but at the moment it doesn't seem like strangers are at all welcome to flip through them.
【she.came.up.on.a.little.three-legged.table】
She found a small three-legged table. ”
Along the slightly shiny spot, Luna couldn't help but whisper it. But she immediately regretted it, and like "Alice" who had fallen into the hole, she reflected on her reckless behavior.
Of course...... It's too late.
The sound of collision from nowhere echoed in the extremely quiet foreign hall, and just as Luna, who was frightened, hurriedly wanted to close the book, a little rabbit wearing a top hat and a tuxedo crawled out with a little difficulty from the place where it should have belonged to the Chinese characters of the book.
It's the March Hare that scared me out earlier! Is this magic? Obviously I'm not the owner of this book!
"Hmm...... This was such a surprise to Ben Gentleman. Ah, the first time we met, this gentleman was the most important messenger of Lord Alice, the March Hare. ”
The March Rabbit glared at Luna with her red eyes, "You should be the new maid, you are a magician, but you started the story of Lord Alice?"
"Therefore...... Story?"
"And not only can it be opened, but it can also be 'continued', which is incredible. There are very few magicians who are obviously holding replicas can do it...... Could it be the original relationship. ”
The March Rabbit muttered decently as he paced the broken steps, "No, no, no, even that means you have the talent to be a magician, and oh my God, this is so weird, I need to make sure." ”
"Hah...... Thank you, thank you. ”
"Originally, Alice-sama's book was left here to prevent uninvited guests from breaking in, but now it seems that you have artificially 'activated' and 'continued' the story. The bouncing March Hare stepped on the page, "In order to test this gentleman's guess, could you please cooperate with the continuation of the story?"
"Well, well, that's fine. ”
After all, mistakes were made first, and Luna naturally had no reason to refuse the March Hare's request.
"But what should I do?"
"It seems that you, like Mistress Alice, will be able to start this story and pick up where it left off, but this gentleman is not sure if this is an accident, so I would like you to look for the 'dependence' after this, which is necessary to keep the story going. If you can move on to the next scene, I'm afraid it means that you have the ability to do this. ”
The March Rabbit jumped away from the book and looked at the book for a while, "The current progress is to walk to the Golden Key, so it means that there must be a three-legged table with the 'Golden Key to Open the Door' on it somewhere in this mansion." It's rude to wander around the building, but please find out. ”
Suddenly an extra three-legged table in a Western-style restaurant?
But if you don't know the location, you'll have to work hard to find it. I hadn't even remembered how many rooms there were, let alone found a table that had suddenly become extranumerous. No, wait......
"Do you mean 'temporary' overabundance?"
"Well, that's true. I guess it was at the same time as you finished reading that line. ”
"Ahh
That's right, after saying that line, there was an immediate sound of the collision of mysterious objects somewhere on the second floor, and if the three-legged table was a temporary extra "reliance", then it must have been a movement from its contact with the ground. In other words, the table with the golden key is somewhere on the second floor!
Holding the March Rabbit, Luna hurriedly began to search, and soon found the rather delicate small table in a small room full of miscellaneous items and smelling of strange leather. Of course, as the March Hare said, there is indeed a very heavy classical gold key on it.
"Is that it?"
Carefully picking up the golden key, Luna asked as she turned to the March figure who had jumped onto the table. But suddenly, the extra weight in her pocket drew her attention.
"Oh, yes, that's it. Once you have the golden key, please open a door at will...... Ah, now there's an open door here. After this you should have an extra telescope by your side, so ...... Hey!?hey, hey!...... Wait, don't can'...... Squeak, squeak!"
