Chapter 218
"Desmond-sama, I've caught a rat."
In the mid-afternoon after finishing the job of the signer, Grandpa Randolph brought in a mouse. It was my office. But, isn't this the work for a cat, not a dog?
―― Just kidding.
"I'm sorry, really sorry. I should have asked for permission, but you see, a noble mansion with an open door and no gatekeeper——it seemed like a great opportunity, you know? I just wanted to see what life was like inside, kind of like how you have to go into a dragon's nest to get the egg, right? I couldn't resist the urge..."
The rat, brought in by Grandpa, must have wondered why it had to be stared at by a suddenly intruding black-haired beauty.
"Wanna get Desmond to prep some eggs?"
Ah, Teresa's words made her jump and rush out. ―― Um, I want to.
The mouse Grandpa caught wasn't an ordinary mouse, it was a human one. Though, it made sense to refer to her as a mouse. A woman with teary eyes and messy flaxen hair, not the typical look in a world filled with beautiful women. The simple, homey vibe was actually quite nice. But why did this situation feel so familiar? Well, it's only natural for her to be a bit nervous in a strange moment like this.
