Alicia Just Wants to Live Relaxedly As a Human Being
Maid 2's
“Excuse me...Is Alicia-san around?”
“Hm, just sign in. No one but me is here.”
In the morning, waking me up from my beautiful sleep was the voice of the girl I had recently known. The girl who was scared when she saw a snake.
He promised to come again because it seemed like yesterday afternoon he was in a hurry.
Looking out the door he seemed hesitant to enter.
“Come in, don't just stand there...Hammu.....I'll prepare tea first.”
“Per-excuse me..”.
Still sleepy I went to the kitchen, tucking in two cups of tea.
Making tea was my special skill to spend free time in the old days. Fortunately I still had high-quality ingredients from an ancient plant that I stored in [Storage] that had no flow of time, so it remained the same condition. Moreover, this material is famous for its magic effects serve as a tranquilizer, both from aroma and taste.
“Sip, seems to have fit.”
The smell was from the two teas I served. Such a delicious and soothing aroma made me feel satisfied with this skill. Although 5000 years passed, my hands were still skilled at making tea. I'm very proud.
“Sorry waiting, here's the tea. Enjoy and relax yourself. Don't be too stiff.”
“Y-ya”
Looking at the wooden chair, where he was sitting with his legs, it seemed like he was still nervous about something.
“Is there another snake, your face looks a little pale.”
“Ti-no. I'm not like that... T-Then, Happy eating”
GLEK GLEK GLEK
“Fuahh Looking at his face, it seemed like he had calmed back down.
“That herbal tea I made, can ease anxiety into peace of mind. How now?”
“This, this is very delicious. It's true, all my nervousness is gone. Thank you.”
“Sama-sama. So what business comes here.”
“Ah, correct. Actually I just felt less grateful after you saved me yesterday. So I came to thank you properly this time. Here, this please accept.”
“Hm, what is this?”
“That's a cake I made myself. It's not how much, but it's all I can do. I'm sorry.?
“Eh, why apologize? Not that you came to thank me.”
“I-it was true, but..”
“Then it's okay. Besides I helped you not to ask for a reward, but only a form of mercy.”
“Ah, mercy yes. Thank you then.”
“Is there a problem? Looks like you have a lot of trouble on your shoulders. You were in a hurry yesterday too. If you want to tell me, at least I'll hear. If I can help, I help.”
“Te-thank you, but....” He was silent for a moment.
“I'm just a coward, coward, and weakling. So I was always scared and could only accept help. I want to repay him but I can't. Like today, I can't produce the gratitude that is worth.”
I listened to her curses while opening the cookie parcels. I like sweets, so I hope it's as sweet as I hope.
“What's wrong, isn't it. After all those who help you don't ask for a reward.”
“It was true too, but...”.
He seems not sure. I put the cookies in my mouth.
“This, this is delicious and sweet. Very much to my taste. You turned out to be great at this, didn't you?”
“Eh, ah thank you?” He thanked her with a questioning tone.
“You still seem unsatisfied. Hm, I have one solution for you.”
“Is that true.”
“How about you work for me?”
“?”
“You see, this cake you made is delicious and it looks like you can cook too, right?”
“Be-totally.”
“Then, if you want to properly thank me. Work for me. Of course I will also pay you, like most people.”
I can't just let go of this opportunity. If I get a waitress like her, like the waitress of the cafe before. I can eat good food every day. Of course, not a free job, I will pay him a suitable salary like a normal human being. It's just bait to catch my persuasion.
“No, I just want to eat your cooking and the cake you made. That's it.”
“Is it true? Why have you acted so far for me.”
It seems he is still hesitating.
“I told you, I just want to eat your cooking. So work here! If not, you don't have to come here!”
Let's threaten him a little.
He's a little shaken up.
“I-I'll work. I'm gonna work in this house. So please help her, Alicia-sama.”
“Call Alicia, you can work from tomorrow.”
“Good, Alicia-san."
“Oh, yes by the way I forgot to ask your name.”
“Ah, um then my name is Shinohara Aki. Alicia-san can call me Aki.”
“Then please help tomorrow Aki.”
“Good Alicia-san.”
That's how I got a waiter, not a capable worker.
After that, Aki returned home. He'll start work tomorrow. So I seem to have to prepare for his workplace.
“I have to clean up the house then. If you see it still messy. And I have also not purchased the furniture needed.”
The room still looks creepy, maybe that's what makes him nervous.
“Let's go find furniture. By the way where is the place that sells home furniture? Just search the city, huh. There's gotta. Or if can not ask as usual.”
Since I haven't confirmed my transfer point there's no one, I can't use [Teleportation]. Instead, as usual I will just fly all the way to the city.
Lots of as usual. The streets are dense with a frenzy of human activity.
After getting information on the place of sale of furniture. I went inside. In many luxury goods with artistic like kingdoms. In ancient times only the nobles had luxury goods with high artistic value. But now it's common that anyone deserves to have it as long as they can afford it, that's all.
“Welcome”
Walking in I was greeted by the store staff.
“I want a full set of home furniture, such as chairs, tables, cabinets, etc.”
“Then, please fill in your order list only and fill in the addresses of your customers. Later the goods will be delivered to the customer's house soon.”
“OK”
The address, yes. I wondered if they could take him to that house.
I'd better take it myself, but I'll have trouble hiding the use of storage magic.
Well, let's take the nearest location. Fortunately, the area was not much human.
“Then, can you just drop it to this point?”
I pointed at a single point on the map screen of the box object, a super-advanced man-made technology.
“Can you, are you sure?”
“Alright, I have a lot of manpower. In fact I'm worried whether you can take her all the way to my house.”
After pausing for a moment to observe the two-dimensional map, he nodded in agreement.
“Alright, we will immediately deliver your order to the location indicated. About the payment...”.
That way the purchase of home furniture is completed. Just waiting for delivery, he said at the latest today. Or if it comes later in the afternoon.
There is still time in town. It is better to go to the cafe as before, enjoy the sweet pastries.
KRINGGG
“Welcome”
“I order Cake and his drink, please...”.
I spent a lot of time taking care of my stomach. Know it's dusk. Maybe the furniture has been delivered, or not.
"Let's just look at it."
