"Well then, Subaru, let's go."
Ram said crisply. Just moments ago, Roswaal had directly appointed her as Natsuki Subaru's instructor.
Ram completely ignored her sister Rem, who was cleaning up the dining room, and elegantly opened the dining room door.
Natsuki Subaru glanced at Rem, unable to help but complain inwardly:
This sister is taking it way too easy.
Poor Rem, should I go help...
Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities later. It's better to follow Ram first and get familiar with the work process.
"Newbie, this is Lord Roswaal's mansion. A servant's work is very demanding. If you don't do it well, you'll be in for it."
After leaving the dining room, Ram said to Natsuki Subaru with a blank expression.
"Can I interpret this as encouragement rather than a threat?"
Natsuki Subaru's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Ram.
Hey, hey, hey, this attitude change is too fast.
Just at the dinner table, she was calling me Guest-sama, and now, in a blink of an eye, I've become Newbie-kun.
Ram, your face-changing speed is faster than the Tokyo subway.
Upon hearing this, Ram lightly parted her peach-pink lips. Her chin-length pink bob swayed gently as she slightly tilted her head. Her left eye was covered by her bangs, revealing only her red right eye, which gave Natsuki Subaru a light glance.
"Either way is fine, just do your job properly."
"Understood, Ram-sama!"
Natsuki Subaru immediately straightened his back, gave an exaggerated military salute, but his face wore a cheeky grin.
Although Ram's sharp tongue was formidable, after getting along with her for a while, he had gradually figured out Ram's temperament.
"Be serious," Ram frowned slightly.
"Yes, yes, yes~" Natsuki Subaru nodded with a smile, then lowered his head and tugged at the slightly worn modern tracksuit he was wearing.
This outfit, brought from his original world, was already a bit dirty after yesterday's ordeal.
Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru asked Ram:
"By the way, Ram, does the mansion have a uniform I can wear? It's really inconvenient to work in these clothes."
Hearing this, Ram turned her gaze to Natsuki Subaru's attire. Her slender fingers gently supported her chin as she thoughtfully sized him up:
"Attire is indeed important. As Lord Roswaal's servant, proper dress is a basic requirement..."
"Great!" Before Ram could finish, Natsuki Subaru excitedly interrupted, "Then let's change into uniforms before starting work. It'll be more convenient."
"The servants' break room is on the second floor. You can change there." Ram looked Natsuki Subaru's physique up and down, pointing towards the second floor.
"Subaru's size should be the same as Frederica, who resigned two months ago."
"Frederica?"
Natsuki Subaru was slightly stunned.
Isn't that Garfiel's hot-tempered older sister?
That demi-human maid from the original story.
"What's wrong?" Ram asked.
"Oh, nothing, just Frederica resigning at this opportune moment... her name sounds like a girl's, right?"
Natsuki Subaru came back to his senses and asked, feigning ignorance.
"Mm, her build is roughly the same as yours."
Ram nodded, speaking quite calmly.
"Hey, but our genders are different, right?!" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but shout his complaint, "You wouldn't... you wouldn't make me wear a maid outfit, would you?!"
Ram stopped, rolled her eyes, and wearily touched her forehead:
"It's a very elegant and noble formal attire... What exactly are you dissatisfied with?"
"Everything!" Natsuki Subaru waved his arm, unable to suppress his urge to complain, and continued,
"If Emilia-tan wore it, I'd want to see it even if I had to pay. But who would want to see me in a maid outfit? What if I awaken some strange fetish! I'm a die-hard straight man! If I'm wearing anything, it should be a butler uniform. Maid outfits are absolutely out of the question. Ram, don't you understand?!"
"What on earth are you blabbering about."
Ram looked at Natsuki Subaru expressão-lessly.
"This isn't blabbering!" Natsuki Subaru shook his head and said with righteous indignation, "This is a major issue concerning a man's dignity!"
A maid outfit, I'd rather die than wear one.
"Relax..." Ram touched her forehead, looking slightly exasperated, "It's not a maid outfit, it's a male servant's formal attire."
"That's great, Ram~" Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru's face instantly lit up. He leaned closer to Ram and said, "I knew Ram understood me the best. But speaking of which, since it's a male servant's uniform, it should be designed to look cool, right? Will it have a tailcoat kind of feel? Does it come with a bow tie or a necktie?"
"It's just an ordinary black uniform." Ram disgustedly moved a step to the side. "And, don't get so close."
"Hey, don't be so cold. We're colleagues from now on, after all..." Natsuki Subaru said, feigning sadness. "But a black uniform isn't bad either, at least it's a hundred times better than a maid outfit!"
Ram expressionlessly rolled her eyes at Natsuki Subaru:
"Say one more word of nonsense and I'll stuff you into the toilet. Rem just cleaned it today, it's very clean."
"Ugh......"
Natsuki Subaru instantly fell silent, complaining inwardly:
That's harsh, Ram!
Speaking of which, if I really annoyed Ram, she's definitely capable of stuffing me into a toilet.
However, Ram's cold demeanor is also quite cute.
......
And so.
Under Ram's guidance, they arrived at the west wing of the mansion.
The Roswaal mansion was divided into a central main building, and an east and west wing connected by corridors, totaling three buildings.
The dining room and Roswaal's office were in the main building, while the servants' break rooms were located in the west wing.
"The break rooms on the second floor..." Ram elegantly gestured to the rooms on either side of the corridor, her pink bob swaying gently with the movement, as she said to Natsuki Subaru beside her,
"By the way, apart from the rooms with nameplates, you can choose whichever one you like. Pick your favorite as your personal room. The spare uniforms are inside."
"Understood. Then, which one should I choose..."
Being allowed to have a private room in the mansion, Natsuki Subaru stood at the corridor entrance, looking at the candidate rooms, already starting to plan in his mind.
Hehe, this is a historic moment of having my own room in another world!
Although they are all guest rooms, the location is very important.
Wait, what if I choose one close to Emilia's room.
Although she's in the east wing... Forget it, forget it, let's find a convenient location first.
"Alright, this room it is."
Thinking this, Natsuki Subaru confidently pushed open the door closest to the stairs.
"Heehee... Brother is so amazing! This top-tier fluffy touch, hoo-ah..."
Without much thought, the moment he opened the door, what greeted him was Beatrice rolling around in the library, hugging the small cat Puck.
She was lying on the bed, burying her face in Puck's soft fur and rubbing against it, acting like a child who had just gotten a beloved toy.
Can you believe this is a great spirit over four hundred years old?!
