Chapter 41: The First Lesson
It was early in the morning the day after we returned to End Town and had our big party.
I woke up next to Yoru, who opened his eyes as I sat up on the bed.
Vespera wasn't in the room, but I had heard her leave a few hours before. She whispered "I'll be back", then made her way out. However, I was pretty sleepy, so I just mumbled some words and went back to sleep.
When I walked downstairs to the kitchen, the maids were already cooking breakfast and the princess was sitting at the counter, drinking a cup of tea.
"Morning!" she exclaimed as soon as my body was visible from the stairs.
"Good morning, Mr Ichiro." said both beastkin maids in unison.
"Good morning everyone... Umm, can you guys drop the 'Mr'? You can just call me Ichiro."
The two maids looked at each other. "Are you sure?" said Carli, the senior maid.
"I am. I already told this to Gina at the capital, but I'm not a noble or anything close to it, so you really don't have to address me with any formality. In fact, I prefer you didn't."
"Very well then. Would you like some breakfast, Ichiro?"
I nodded. "I would love it, thanks!"
