Chapter 71: What Will Happen to Marin-sensei?
While savoring the lingering scent of Christine-san on my fingertips, I diligently continued with the remaining work. Personally, I felt like I was making smooth, efficient progress. The mountain of documents in front of me seemed to be shrinking rapidly—one or two piles at a time, at least in my subjective opinion. If I had been working with Marin-sensei, things definitely wouldn’t have moved this quickly. As I worked while basking in a bit of self-satisfaction,"Excuse me~"
Cas poked her head through the entrance door.
"Is Roby-sama still here~?"
She asked in her clear, carrying alto voice.
"Yeees, he’s right here~!"
Christine-san stood up and waved enthusiastically. Ah, Christine-san, your panties fell on the floor. The strings are clearly visible. She must have been panicking internally, but she didn’t show even a hint of it. As expected of her!
Cas approached with a slightly worried expression. The Chief of the Accounting Bureau also came over after noticing Cas had arrived.
"Thank you for all your help. Was Roby-sama of any use?"
It sounded exactly like a mother visiting her son’s part-time job site to say hello. In response, Christine-san said,
"Not at all, he worked extremely well. It was a tremendous help. We would be very happy if Robin-sama could come every day. What do you think—would that be possible?"
A perfect model answer from a store manager. Both of them were smiling brightly, which was honestly a little scary. Cas probably assumed Christine-san was just being polite with social pleasantries.
Then the Chief arrived.
"Gilmore-sama, you’ve come to pick up Robin-sama? We were truly grateful for his help today. We can’t ask for every single day, but it would be a great assistance if he could come as often as possible," the Chief said with a smile. Hearing this, Cas seemed to realize it was sincere and asked,
"Then... is it really alright for Roby-sama to work here?"
"Of course! Please, by all means, come whenever you can!"
The Chief declared firmly. Cas looked genuinely delighted and bowed her head.
"Thank you very much! Then I will have him work here as much as possible."
She really acted like a guardian. Well, she is essentially my guardian.
"We look forward to working with you as well," the Chief replied. Christine-san added,
"He will be a tremendous asset, so please bring him as often as you can."
"But... is it really acceptable for a prince to do this kind of work? Won’t it cause problems if other members of the royal family hear about it?" Christine-san asked worriedly.
"It’s perfectly fine," Cas answered confidently. "Given Roby-sama’s existing reputation, no matter what he does, it can’t possibly get any worse!"
