'Holy shiit wtf?'
Shirlette notices me becoming wide-eyed in shock
"Are you okay?"
"Ah yes, it's just that I thought it looked really pretty"
'Forget it being pretty! It's fucking S Grade!'
She just smiles and told me
"Well that's great!"
'But if it's an S-Grade wouldn't it be better to hide it? It might attract attention or worse. Stolen'
We got back to the mansion and said goodbye to Shirlette
'Let's see... I'm in charge of the garden today'
I went back to my room first to put the wooden box down but took the brooch and hid it under my suit.
This might be a good chance to test this out.
Ren smirks
'I guess patience really is the key'
I went straight to the garden greeting people along the way. Another servant greeted me saying we're the ones cleaning the garden today.
While she was taking care of the flowers I raked the leaves and cleaned the fountain
'I love this body, it has so much stamina!'
*It's not that Ren Civan's body has a lot of stamina. It's only above average. But considering Guren was a shut-in, it's a big change.
Content with the work, the other servant went ahead of me.
I looked around and confirmed that I was alone.
It's time to test this.
.......
"Wait how do I activate it?"
....
"Activate"
"Open"
"Come?"
....
"SYSTEM"
â¢Systemâ¢
- In order to use Sylvie's Brooch please apply a keyword
'You could've said so earlier!'
'What would be the best keyword... something simple and casual?'
"M"
â¢Systemâ¢
-you level is too low for the use of single letters
'wow, that's mean'
"Then... match"
â¢System⢠- Keywords "Match" is accepted
-Sylvie's Brooch is now activated
-Mana is too low for invisibility
-"Invisibility" is downgraded to "Blending in"
'nice name. So original' I thought to myself sneering
- will become Invisibility when user has sufficient mana
"Well I guess that's expected. I haven't even practiced magic so of course this would happen. Ughh..."
*Talking to himself again
" But "blending in" IS still good. Not many have this skill. Even in the A-Ranks"
'I got lucky getting this brooch. I should go to the village again some other time'
"*Sobs* Even though I might die I'm so glad I have this"
"Ah, if ever I get caught in the fight scenes I can just use this to hide. And this might help with the matchmaking kind of thing hehe"
*Emitting stalker vibes*
"Oh, I should probably test this right away since it has a time limit. Mm...I have to practice being silent too..."
Satisfied with the brooch, I went inside the mansion again
To test it out, I started by greeting people, but it's like they don't notice me. Even when I spoke in a not so silent voice.
Only when I tap them do they notice me
"Ah Ren! I didn't see you, sorry"
The servant says
I just smile
"It's okay you must've been too busy"
'so it breaks when there's physical contact'
â¢Systemâ¢
-5 minutes remaining
'ah, I should get a pocket watch. There should be one in my room somewhere'
When the "Blending in" effect disappeared I found myself feeling tired.
'My mana must be low'
I already finished my duties quite early so I head back to my room and decided to find a pocket watch before resting.
"Pocket watch...pocket watch... Where the fuck is it??"
There was only one drawer left in the cabinet, and there I found a tin box.
Curious, I opened it and found a silver pocket watch and what seemed to be...letters?
The pocket watch was just the right size, and it seemed to be working. It was silver, with the word "Civan" engraved in it.
'Must've been a keepsake'
I took it and didn't pay attention to the letters and put it back.I felt too tired amd just wanted to rest.
â¢â¢â¢
I woke up just in time to fix myself and head down to help prepare for dinner.
It was the same as usual.
The family chatted about their day. Shirlette seemed content with today and looked at me smiling
"I see you that the brooch is to your liking"
I didn't hide it because I truly was grateful for it. So I genuinely smiled.
"Yes, it is. I have to thank you for this Miss Shirlette"
'You have me a fucking S-rank! Of course I'm happy! *Sobs internally* patience truly does pay off'
"My, such a sweet boy at his age" Camille said to me
I just smiled and when dinner finished the servant bowed and said goodbye.
Shin was the last to leave and said in a voice where only I and he could hear, not giving me a glance
"Disgusting" he said
'eh, I'll let you off this time. I'm in a good mood'
Due to his personality I might not be able to get close to him right now.
"I'm counting on you Shin's rival, be really evil so I can save him"
*Talking to himself
I head back to my room and try to sleep but thanks to having slept in the afternoon, I wasn't really sleepy.

'The profile doesn't really give me the exact amount of mana...'
Reading it more I found the one with the number 4 weird
"...huh? I thought this was for missions. So far I've only been given one. Could it be everything I got?"
After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while I finally decided to sleep.
â¢â¢â¢
A couple of days have past and nothing much has changed. The routine of my day is still the same. Sometimes Lero talks about random shit to me but I put up with it to keep my "calm facade" up. But I have been practicing on using Sylvie's Brooch whenever I have time. But because of it, I haven't had the time to practice increasing my mana.
'The novel didn't really specifically say anything on how to do it either'
But that doesn't matter right now
"It's finally time"
