MGE Chapter 67
Nanami 4
I give a simple explanation about the Hanamura family on our way back. I immediately head to the living room where everyone is likely to be to introduce her.
“Welcome back.”
Ludi is sitting on the sofa while flipping through what seems to be a magic book. Claris and Nee-san are not in the room but Marino-san should be back home soon.
“I’m back.”
“Please excuse me.”
Maybe because she heard a woman’s voice, Ludi raise her head and look at Nanami with suspicious eyes. Nanami’s expression didn’t falter though.
“Kousuke-san, come here for a bit….”
When I was worried about how I should explain this to her, Ludi pulled my arm and take me to the hallway. The pull was pretty strong and my arm almost bends the other way.
“What are you trying to do? Who is that?”
Ludi’s unusual low voice made my hip almost gave out.
“It’s a long story, but not actually…….”
“What? Was that a maid? What are you hiring her for?”
Ludi’s eyes changed, they tell me that she is getting irritated. Why is she so angry?
“I wouldn’t say hire, but I did pick her up in a dungeon so…”
“Enough.”
Talking alone is useless, she said so and leave. I flusteredly follow behind her.
“Good day, well, may I know who you are?”
Ludi said so while giving Nanami a sharp gaze as if trying to threaten her. I want to cut in but because Ludi turns toward me with those eyes for a moment, my legs did not move. She has the eyes of a carnivore itself.
“Pleased to meet you for the first time. As of today, I have become Takioto Kousuke-sama’s maid. Please call me Nanami.”
“Nanami-san right? My name is Ludivine. Now then, for what purpose did you get close to [This].”
You are calling me [This]? I’m too scared I can’t say anything back though. However, Nanami who was the target is making a cheerful smile.
“I understand Madam’s concern, please rest assured as that is not the case.”
(TLN: It was Oku-sama in the raw so yeah, it’s the wife kind of Madam)
“Hee….no, huh……M, m, M, Madam!?”
Ludi is flustered. I see, so it was a strategy to confuse her huh.
Nanami keeps talking to Ludi whose eyes already turned rounded. If she keeps this up she might be able to talk Ludi down.
“As Goshujin-sama’s maid I will serve him in all sincerity, Of course, I will not take any action that will be disadvantageous to him. Naturally, that is the same for Madam too.”
“Wait a minute, who’s the Madam!?”
Ludi’s tone went back to normal. She must be quite surprised that she was called Madam. I was surprised too though.
“Goshujin-sama said that you are the person he trusted the most in the world and you two look very affectionately together so……”
I’m thinking about the meaning of her words.
“Well, she’s certainly the one that I trusted the most huh.”
That also included Nee-san and Sempai but she is one of the people I trust the most.
“N, No way.”
She starts panicky looking around while her face slightly got redder. When she met my eyes, her face turned red as an octopus that was soaked in hot water. Then she turned her face and walked away.
“Why is she getting so red?…..”
When I muttered so, Nanami responded with an “Eh” and let out a sigh. Nanami looked like she wanted to say something but she was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
It’s the usually listless Nee-san but once she looked at Nanami, her eyes open up and stare at her. Then she turns toward me.
“……Frustrated?”
(TLN: Sexually)
“I think there are other things you should be saying though.”
That’s the first thing you thought of after you saw Nanami? Did you misunderstand that she’s cosplaying call-girl? In the first place, I wouldn’t get a call-girl when everyone in my house is a woman beside me.
“I can wear a maid outfit for you, you know?”
That’s not it. But I do want to see Nee-san in a maid outfit. It should be quite big.
As the conversation between Nee-san and I are getting weird, Nanami cut in.
“Pleased to meet you for the first time. As of today, I have become Takioto Kousuke-sama’s maid. Please call me Nanami.”
Nee-san turned toward Nanami for a moment and immediately turn back toward me.
“I can do a maid play too, you know?”
“Absolu–….No, that’s not it. I am trying to hire a normal maid here.”
Eh, she frowned because she didn’t believe me. As I am already used to Nee-san, I can detect her change in expression. It’s only a small change though.
“Rejected.”
“N, Nee-san, you see.”
“Rejected, there’s no need.”
Nee-san immediately rejected. Then she grabbed my arm and pull me toward her. When I got pulled toward her, her arm wrapped around my head. Her hands are a little chilly, the scent of her favorite body soap enters through my nose. She also pats my head which was dirtied after I spent the day capturing the dungeon.
Nanami who was watching is making an even more cheerful smile.
“Please rest assured, Madam.”
She said so while lifting the helms of her skirt and perform an elegant curtsy.
“As Goshujin-sama’s maid I will serve him in all sincerity, Of course, I will not take any action that will be disadvantageous to him. Naturally, that is the same for Madam too.”
It’s the exact same word I just heard. Well, it seemed to be working on Ludi but since Nee-san has a severe case of stranger anxiety, the only maid in this house is Claris-san, I don’t think that Nee-san will permit another Mai—……
“Kousuke.”
She took her hand off my head, put it on my shoulder and exhale.
“Finding such a fine maid. You did a good job. Hire her by all means.”
“Recently, I am finding it hard to understand you, Nee-san.”
And I thought that she would never give me her permission. To think that the problem would be solved at such a sudden turn.
“Madam, may I know your name?”
“Hanamura Hatsumi.”
“I will be in your care, Madam Hatsumi.”
Now then, Nanami takes hold of the conversation.
“Goshujin-sama. Let’s have dinner soon. Will Madam also join us? If there are ingredients I can any kind of food, For example, I can make French, Italian, Japanese or Chinese cuisine for you.”
“Everyone hasn’t eaten yet. But today I already ordered sushi.”
It looks like I will be eating sushi today.
“Understood. Until then I would like to secure the place I will be sleeping in first….”
“There is plenty of rooms here.”
Nanami shook her head.
“No, you don’t have to prepare such a big place for me. I will be comfortable enough in Gohshujin-sama’s closet.”
Are you a cat-shaped robot?
“That’s such an attractive place.”
Your sense is strange Nee-san. If it were the past me then I would like to question ‘what are you finding so fascinating in a closet when you are living in such an extravagant room.’ for about an hour.
“Then the upper half will be Madam Hatsumi’s and the lower half will be mine…..”
“Can I insert the retort here? There’s not such a big closet in my room in the first place. It’s just a normal one.”
The big one was designed to put away the futon while the normal one was for clothes, was it? It wasn’t designed for a person to sleep in you know.
(TLN: In the raw, the big closet was the Oshiire or Japanese style closet while the normal one was the closet you would normally think of.)
“Haa, It can’t be helped. Then Madam can take the right side on Goshujin-sama’s bed and I will be taking the left.”
“Ha Ha Ha, you are saying something interesting huh Nanami.”
“Un, very good idea.”
“You are seriously agreeing?! We are talking about finding her a room here right!?”
Seeing my reaction, Nanami smile.
“Of course I was joking Goshujin-sama.”
That was not a joke, right? Since she is nearby, I was thinking about retorting with [Seriously, what are you saying] and slap her in the back then…
“Eh?”
Nee-san’s expression was ridden with despair as if her life has come to an end.
“ “ ……!! “ “
Mine and Nanami’s voice overlapped. We don’t understand what Nee-san was thinking and don’t know what to say.
“Kousuke, Umm, about the thing you said earlier…..”
Ludi whose face is still red returned to the living room.
“I’m Homeeee, I finally returned. Today’s dinner is sushi you know!”
Marino-san returns home in a good mood.
Then this place is heading toward pure chaos.
