Volume 4 Chapter 87

Reversal of Master-Slave Relationship

The first day of the school festival went off without a hitch.

Our maid and butler cafe was a big hit.

We made more money than we spent on renting out the coffee shop, the two days’ worth of food, and other expenses.

We were able to attract more customers than we expected, and the cookies and other souvenirs were extremely profitable.

The high-quality black tea of the Earl Silverlay family, which we had been offering without any regard for profit, was not well received and did not sell at all.

Even though it’s aroma was so enticing…

I’ve been drinking it for a long time and like it a lot, but it seems it didn’t suit the taste of the general public.

Although we weren’t taking profits into account, perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to inflate the pricing as much as we did.

That’s part of what made our coffee shop a big success. High margin goods sold really well, and the ones that would have actually made us lose money the more they sold didn’t.

I’ll take the unpopular tea with me back home. I won’t bring it tomorrow

By the way, the maid and butler cafe will reach its conclusion tomorrow.

On the third day, the last day of the school festival, I’m going to take a tour around the school festival with my classmates.

Since the expenses didn’t include labor costs, we were currently working for free.

We had decided to divide the profits from today and tomorrow among everyone and use it to enjoy our time on the last day of the school festival.

Luke worked the hardest today, being the no.1 pick of the ladies, so I’ll try to increase his share of the money.

After we had finished cleaning up, we said our goodbyes to the owner and employees of the coffee shop, and everyone parted ways.

We didn’t technically part ways since the majority of the class was going back to my mansion anyway…

──＊＊＊──

「We’ll have a visitor later today」

When I arrived at the mansion, I made sure to notify everyone that Sasha was coming.

「Is that the person whose ear you were whispering something into, Haruto-sama?」

Tina seemed to have seen me talking to Sasha.

「Yeah」

「Do you know each other? She requested you twice to serve her, Haruto-san」

Rifa has also seen me.

「「She kept looking at you, Haruto-sama」」

「Yes, and her cheeks were blushing when she made eye contact with our Master」

Mai, Mei, and Yoko have also spoken up.

What’s with all the eagle eyes?

「She’s the sister of the king of this country」

「For real? It’s Sasha-sama?」

Tina only knew about Sasha’s name and nothing else.

「Yes, She was sick and couldn’t appear in public, but she was able to recover with the leaves of the World Tree that we got from the kingdom of Alheim. She came to thank me for it」

「I don’t mind that Sasha is coming, but why did you give her the bracelet?」

「Huh?」

Tina was in a bad mood.

「I thought that was just for us, for the Elnor family」

「This is a special item that our master has made to protect us. We were so happy when we received it. But now…」

Rifa and Yoko’s tone of voice was harsher than usual.

「We also didn’t like what you did」

Mai and Mei looked unhappy as well.

I’ve never seen those two like this before, it made me lose my cool a bit.

「Everyone was so happy when you gave us the bracelets. I was overjoyed when I got it too. I don’t like that you gave it to a stranger so easily」

I was scolded by Merdi.

I see, come to think of it, that was the first time we all wore the same thing.

「I’m sorry, everyone」

I have to do something to change their moods.

I know it’s a bit unfair, but I’ll have to ask them what I can do to get them to forgive me by using my mind-reading ability.

「I admit I was careless. I didn’t know how much you guys cared and treasured those bracelets. So I’m going to do what I can to make up for it, I’ll grant each one a wish as an apology」

「I don’t want Haruto-sama to owe me an apology!」

(I’m such an idiot! This was the perfect opportunity to make him serve me in his butler outfit…)

I see, Tina’s wish was for me to serve her as a butler.

「I’ll forgive you since you’ve shown regret over what you’ve done, Haruto-san」

(But it would be nice if he served me in his butler outfit and called me, “My Lady”)

Rifa’s wish was the same as Tina’s.

「「 I’m too ashamed to ask Haruto-sama to do anything for me!」」

((He looked great in the butler outfit! I would love it to have him as my butler, even if it’s just for a little while))

Mai and Mei as well…

「I’d like a kiss on my che…」「「「 Yoko-san!」」」

「…No, I don’t want anything」

(Except for Tina and Rifa who are married to him, no one can beg our Master to kiss us… I really want our Master to kiss me, or at least give me a pat on the head)

It seems that some kind of family rule had been established without my knowledge.

I’m free to kiss anyone I want, but only my wives, Tina, and Rifa can beg me to kiss them.

Well, Yoko’s wish was to pat her head.

「I want to eat Haruto’s fried rice!」

(Fried rice, Fried rice, Fried rice)

Yeah, Merdi would be happy if I made her Fried rice.

「All right! Dinner is on me today, you can think of it as an apology from me. Fried rice is fine, right?」

「Yay!」

Merdi was happy when she heard this, but everyone’s expression darkened.

(Although Haruto-sama’s fried rice is delicious, it’s a waste to let an opportunity like this slip by, should have asked him more properly…)

(I was really excited to hear Haruto-san calling me My lady…)

((Make the dinner wearing your butler outfit!… We can’t ask for that now…))

(The head patting has turned into fried rice now…)

(Fried rice! Fried rice! Haruto’s fried rice!!)

I was hearing everyone’s thoughts while preparing the dinner.

[Extra character dialogue]

Merdi: 「Why is Haruto’s fried rice so good?」

Haruto: 「I use Shantan. They make it taste more flavourful」

Merdi: 「Sha…??」

Haruto: 「I cook rice with less water or use leftover rice from the previous day」

Merdi: 「Hmm, hmm.」

Haruto: 「Frying them in more oil than usual also does wonders」

Merdi: 「I’m getting hungry listening to this, hurry with the food!」

Haruto: 「Yeah, yeah」

※Shantan is a high-grade Chinese soup. As a seasoning for making fried rice, Haruto has recreated the flavors of his original world with the help of Tina.
