Chapter 26.1
Maid Work and Cruz Boy
“…Escort maid?”
I muttered a word I had never heard before, and Sera, who had uttered it, nodded slowly to show that’s what she meant. A maid… I realized they knew I was a girl. Viro didn’t react to that either, so he must have noticed it too.
“Before I explain… What is your name? And how old are you now?”
“Aria… seven years old.”
“What?”
When I said my age, Viro, who had not responded to my gender, now raised his voice.
“Aria, you’re only seven?”
Sera glanced coldly at Viro, who was surprised for some reason.
“Why are you surprised? If she is seven, isn’t that about the same age I started my apprenticeship as a maid, and normally, it’s also a good time to start helping your parents? Viro…how is it that you don’t know her age when you brought her here yourself?”
“No, no, no, as expected, I wouldn’t have let you kill goblins alone or take you out to fight bandits if I knew you were only seven years old. I thought he was a small ten-year-old boy, since he was so bold…”
I see…. No wonder they don’t treat me like a child.
