Chapter 4

When our eyes met, Frintz made a clear smile,

“The young master got all the test questions wrong. But I didn’t get hit too much today, because the homework was done by me.”

At this point, it would be good to think deeply about our family, the Lo Dellaine family, mentioned in the original.

My father, Leonardo Lo Dellaine, is from the ‘Golden Ivory Tower’, called the Alchemist’s Tower, and is a promising young man.

He was an elite alchemist, but he hated his superiors and became a wanderer. It was Count Gillette who scouted such a person and hired him cheaply while cunningly using the fact that he was a single dad with two children to feed.

Dad… well, it’s still embarrassing to call him that. The alchemist was unaware how things really worked in the world and because of that he continued to renew his slave like contract and dedicate himself to the Count.

The accompanying family members, Frintz and Ellet, naturally grew up as servants of the Count.

idiot Young Master, and Ellet became a maid for chores.

In the original, only the Alchemist and Frintz appeared briefly in minor roles.

Returning to the County after training as a knight, the Young Master neglected the protagonist, who was his lifesaver.

At this time, it was Frintz who took care of the main character’s necessities such as bedding and food, and it was the alchemist who took care of the potions giving to him on the morning of the main character’s departure, while saying he was sorry.

The part that caught my attention was the scene where Frintz and the main character appeared.

It was the youngest daughter room that Frintz guided the protagonist while saying that it was the cleanest room.

The main character, who found Ellet’s items there, was bewildered by the question of whether it was a woman’s room, and Frintz laughed and explained to relieve the faithful paladin.

-It’s my sister’s keepsake. She mistakenly went into the dungeon that was sealed deep in the Count’s Castle and…

Sigh. That was the future of Ellet Lo Dellaine.

This damned house was build a top a very bad place.

It was not enough to have a dungeon outbreak to happen right near the manor, the Count’s residence was even build atop one itself.

After thinking deeply, I looked at the Frintz again.

Even if he was an older brother, he was a boy who looked only about twelve years old.

I was a little choked up when I thought that there would be no day that his hands and calves would be left untouched because of the dumb Young Master.

Frintz, who came after washing his hands thoroughly, kicked me out of the seat and started spinning the butter churn.

I was very concerned about Frinz’s hand.

“How about applying the ointment first? Go to Dad.”

He freaked out and panicked.

“No! Then dad will be worried.”

“Dad doesn’t know?”

“Yes. If he knows, he won’t let me do it. Me, I don’t care if I’m beaten. Even like this, I want to take the class…”

“Still…….”

“But Let, why are you suddenly pretending not to know? You promised to keep a secret from dad if I let you eat all my pudding…”

Seems like there was already something in my stomach, so I can’t say anything about it.

He said again with a bright face.

“Oh, Dad has an urgent business and went out. He said there’s a problem with the herbs he’s dealing with the Count’s merchant guild.”

“Then let’s go to the lab together later and find some medicine. I’ll apply it for you, brother.”

I said that because I felt sorry for his red hands and was grateful for his help. At the end of the day, I called him brother, it seemed something natural to do for the body who ljust transmigrated into.

It seems that my memories from my brother in my previous life stopped around the same age as Frintz. But suddenly, his eyes became moist.

“Let…….”

“Wh-what?”

“Kitchen work was really hard. It’s the first time you’ve called me brother… since you were four years

old.”

“Huh?”

“In the past, you said you didn’t want to be with me or talk to me because I was stupid and tactless…”

Apparently, the personality of this body was not good. My heart swelled up a bit. I hesitated a little and then opened my mouth.

“Oh, well, that’s right. I think I grew up after having a hard time in the kitchen today. I’ll call you well from now on. Forget about the past.”

Now that I’m Ellet Lo Dellaine, I will take responsibly over this body’s kind older brother.

“Really? There is no turning back!”

“Yes, yes, brother.”

“Wow, it really feels like I have a real little sister now. Oh, no, that doesn’t mean I used to feel you were a fake sister! I just like it very much.”

‘If you think so, I’m grateful.

to do is wash the wooden barrel of the churn.

“Come on, let’s finish work and have a snack.” (maid)

I liked the kitchen because it had this kind of caring mood.

“Brother, let’s clean up quickly and eat snacks.”

“M-me too?”

“Of course, you helped. If they don’t give you some, I’ll give you my share.”

“Let…….”

Is it that touching?

When I was embarrassed for no reason because of the sudden growth of sibling love, another person came to the kitchen.

“I guess kitchen work is doable”.

I turned my head to follow the twisted tone. A brunette girl was standing in the same pose as the head maid.

“Nelly.”

Nelly glanced at me from top to bottom. As soon as she found something to nitpick about, her small lips rose sarcastically.

“Oh, are you in charge of washing the dishes? Poor you. I am preparing tea and snacks for the madam.”

“Okay, good job.”

“If I do the dishes like that, my hands will soon crack. It’s too bad.”

Her complaining tone was a bit rude.

It was around the time I finished all my work while ignoring Nelly, who was babbling non-stop.

[ You have completed the ‘Make Butter and Clean Up’ mission. Acquired proficiency is calculated.]

[ An additional 400% of proficiency is acquired by the benefit of ‘Blessings for high-speed growth’.]

[ Congratulations! Awaken Cooking Lv.2 by achieving the proficiency required to level up. From now on, you can use the ‘Sweet Fruit Cooking’, ‘Making Basic Snack’, and ‘Brewing Savory Tea abilities.)

‘Oh, quick level up!’

While I was happy with the feelings of getting stronger. There were words in the message that caught my eye.

“Hmm, making tea?’

My eyes shone with slyness.

Meanwhile, Nelly continued to chatter.

“Well, if you don’t have talent, your body has no choice but to suffer, isn’t it? These chores are perfect for you ignorant siblings.”

“Hey, are you listening to me? Why are you looking at the air like a fool… Argh!”

Whoa! As I jumped up because of the new skill I had, I hit Nelly’s chin with my head.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

“Woo, I’m sick too.”

“Funny! How can a blockhead like you fell pain!?”

Nelly screamed as Frintz touched the bump in my head with concern.

The commotion drew attention.

“Nelly, don’t be frivolous. How can a child who will serve the madam not be calm and collected?”

“Mrs. Isela……”

The stern middle-aged maid who was measuring tealeaves, rebuked Nelly solemnly. It seemed that she was in charge of the Countess refreshments.

I thought it was a great opportunity and I smiled at Nelly.

“Wh-what? Why are you laughing so much?”

After all, animals are good at detecting danger. I asked a question to Nelly, who had shrunk a lot.

“You said your dream was to be a maid serving tea, right?”

“Huh?”

“Watch from there.”

I strode away from Nelly, who had a stupid expression on her face. For her, it might have looked like empty bravado since I was a little kid.

“Ellet Lo Dellaine?”

The chef, who was giving orders among the maids, turned to me. Feeling everyone’s attention, resolutely opened my mouth.

“Chief, can I make tea for snack time?”

“You can make it?”

“Yes. I want to make tea for those who have worked hard with me.”

The Maid sisters caught on what I was trying to do.

“Oh my, Ellet is brewing the tea?”

“Shall we taste the tea made by her?”

“Yes! I will make delicious tea for you, sisters. Please leave it to me.”

The chef gave permission with a nonchalant face.

I measured the black tea leaves for use while boiling water in a large kettle. While stepping on a wooden stool and wriggling my hands on the shelf, I felt a prickly gaze on one cheek.

Nelly must have been glaring at her.

As I turned my head to look at her, I was surprised, because Maid Isela was also looking at me.

Finally, the maple black tea was completed. I whined victoriously and poured everyone a cup of tea.

“Oh my, it smells so good.”

“Is this the tea we usually drink?”

“I can not believe it. The tea leaves didn’t change,

right?”

At a glance, the chef was also savoring the scent of tea with a kind smile. Of course, no one could see it because she quickly returned to her hard face. Then Isela went all the way to the chef. The two woman of the same age had a vague conversation.

“Hey, Peisha. I want to taste some tea too.”

“This is ours.”

“I just want to taste it, okay?”

“Get permission from Ellet.”

Isela turned to me.

Recognizing the need of social experience and connections in life through my previous one, immediately filled the tea and offered it to her.

Slurp, Isela took a sip of tea in an elegant position that would serve as an example for others, and after a while, she glanced at me and roared.

“You!”

“…….Yes?”

“You did something stupid!”

‘D-Did I do something wrong?

I was a little terrified of Isela’s changed attitude. Unknowingly my shoulders crouched and someone blocked my front

‘It was the Chef Peisha.

“Isela! Why are you talking like that to her? Did you drink tea well? If that’s the case, get out of my kitchen!”

“I’m absolutely out of my mind, Peisha. I have to say that she’s stupid because her hands are getting damaged in the kitchen!”

Oh, was it a positive expression?

I was relieved, but the people around me were surprised. In particular, Nelly’s reaction was worth seeing.

Nelly, who was looking forward to how Isela would scold me earlier, was so dumbfounded she was opening her mouth as if her jaw would fall out.

“I’m also learning to serve tea!”

“Nelly, you have no talent!”

Nelly, who was unintentionally sentenced to death for her talent, trembled. But Isela and Peisha were not interested in her.

They held my left and right arms one by one from each side and continued the conversation.

“You said Ellet Lo Dellaine, right? Come to my place at this hour from tomorrow on. I’ll teach you how to serve tea.”

“No. Ellet is going to learn to cook in the kitchen. This child is born with the talent to become a great chef. I’m going to raise her to be big!”

“Then, let her do both!”

My future has been decided,

“Good luck in the future, Nelly.”

“Ugh!!”

I smiled brightly at Nelly in front of me.
