Of course, the Count replied:

“It’s okay. Irene is full of dignity no matter what.”

The butler lost his words to the count’s grim smile.

So he decided to warn Irene directly.

““Miss, please don’t say words of appreciation to the workers.”

“Why?”

Irene said in a small voice to the chef who brought the ice cream in front of her, ‘Thank you very much, I like the strawberry taste -…..’

The butler explained after pressing his greasy forehead.

“Because it is natural for them to work for a young lady.”

“”Um……..”


Irene was putting ice cream in her mouth and thinking about it.

Is that it?

“It is difficult to lead if you are too contributing. Even if it doesn’t, these days they’re trying to quietly stop working as soon as it’s out of work time.”

“Uhm? Is that a problem?”

Irene asked back with a mouth full of ice cream.

““It’s a big problem!”

What does that mean? When it’s time to leave work, I have to stop working and go home.

“Why is that a problem?”

“`I don’t need a person who goes home like a woman when their work is over in this mansion.”

Irene couldn’t shut her mouth. Isn’t that the typical line of the evil boss? I don’t have anything to do, but I have to barely leave work while playing games until the rest of my colleagues’ work is done.

It’s shameful that the Weber family was also the epitome of a vicious company.

“Okay, young lady? Thank you. Please keep it to a minimum.”

“Yes, I will.”

Irene nodded.

And in fact, she reduced her words of gratitude as much as possible.

Instead, she would rush somewhere around the time to shift employees and say goodbye to the employees enthusiastically.

““Wow, it’s already time to go home! Time for us to break up! Good bye!”

When the little girl said this, the maid or the butler could not hold on to the workers.

This kind of ‘go home alarm’ has been repeated several times.

Naturally, the popularity of the young lady increased further.

Of course, the butler found this too uncomfortable.

“Miss.”

“Huh?”

“`Please do not send the employees back home. These days, everyone is making an appointment to eat out with their family in time for work.”

“That’s great. I’m already living a life with dinner!”

Irene laughed happily, biting a large bite of a warm pie specially made in the kitchen.

Meat pie is the best.

“`Dear, everyone will become lazy after doing this. they’ll just think about not working somehow. It is the young lady who will become uncomfortable when that happens.”

The butler was being sincere.

Until now, he has seen a lot of the owner’s favorite employees stab them in the back.

In order to use them effectively, they had to be harsher and harsher until the very last minute.

And at the very last minute, they would be deeply grateful for the very little breathing. From then on, you can use them efficiently.

“Uhm.”

Irene nodded as she was mumbling her meat pie. It made sense.

“Then I won’t do it again if I get lazy.”

“Miss!”

Of course, Irene’s alarm didn’t end.

This is because they all worked hard to get the job done on time to get home on time.

Later, even if Irene did not show up, when the shift came, the butler shook his arm.

It meant that people should go quickly.

As I learned later, the butler also ran down town as soon as business hours were over, drank his favorite wine and enjoyed the return schedule.

In this way, the Weber family became famous for ‘going off on time’.

* * *

The season became winter.

Irene’s daily life hasn’t changed much.

In the morning, she did gymnastics and newspaper clippings. In the afternoon, she piled up blocks or wore tight clothes and took a stroll in the garden.

However, once a week, the schedule changes. A day when I can go out alone.

Irene has been admirably successful in her parents’ errand assignments, and has even been in and out of the library. She sometimes pulled her head long and expected her benefactor to be seen, but she couldn’t find him.

Maybe he’s busy.

It wasn’t really regrettable.

“Miss, are you going on an errand today or the library?”

“I’m going to the library. I couldn’t go last week.”

“The weather is very picky today. You have to wear more thicker clothes.”

“Didn’t I talk about that yesterday?”

“But today, the stall keeper told me several times that I picked up more, more, more. It freezes quickly when I spray water.”

In return for Irene’s keeping the employees from leaving work on time, they took care of Irene’s trivial things in her life.

Especially since the last time she caught a cold, there were people who reported separately about the weather every morning.

Thank you.

Uhm…..

Irene looked at herself through the mirror.

First, she wore two layers of underwear and stockings. She wore a thick winter dress over it.

Of course that wasn’t the end. She wore a thin cardigan and a thick coat over it.

And she had to wear a thick cloak, saying, ‘This is the last time!’

Of course, that ‘last’ meant the last as a coat.

Irene had to wear gloves and a hat as well as her furry boots.

Beth was very satisfied, but Irene suffered.

It was not a noble lady who reflected in the mirror, but a bear.

It seemed even more so because the movement was dull and she had to move slowly.

“What is this……”

Since Irene was crying, Beth stopped laughing because it was cute because it was like a baby bear.

But when she went out, Irene was grateful for wearing this baby bear-like clothes.

It wasn’t usually cold. Perhaps because the wind was sharp, it must have felt more like that.

In the wagon, she was holding a warm water bag, but it wasn’t very effective in a container that quickly cooled down.

Upon arriving at her library, Irene jumped out of her carriage and hurried to step.

She was busy and wanted to go inside. Of course, it can’t be warm indoors on a day like this, but at least the wind won’t blow in her face.

People passing by occasionally glanced at Irene’s thick outfit.

Perhaps it was interesting to see a small child wearing thick clothes and walking behind the scenes.

Irene took a step forward and headed to the place where she kept her periodicals.

“Miss.”

As Irene passed by the librarians, a young librarian quietly called out to Irene.

“Me?”

Irene turned around and asked. Then the librarian smiled kindly and approached.

“Are you here alone?”

“I came with Beth. Beth is the maid who protects me.”

The librarian glanced up for a moment and looked at Beth.

She turned away without saying anything.

“That means… the lady came alone.”

Irene understood the librarian’s intention at once. Beth, her maid, doesn’t count as the library’s guest. She is just an accessory that follows Irene.

Probably, seeing that thought, maybe the librarian is also a noble. Or a similar establishment

“…..”

Irene didn’t want to hurt Beth, so she neither affirmed nor denied her words.

“If so, how old are you?”

The librarian sat down on her knees in front of Irene. Irene gradually felt anxious.

“Why do you ask?”

“You answer well, and you’re really smart. Come on, would you like to hold my hand?”

Irene moved her dull leg and stepped back about half a step.

“I don’t mean anything else. I’m just trying to guide you to a place where children’s books are located.”

“I didn’t come to read children’s books.”

Irene replied calmly, but the librarian shook his head.

“Children should read children’s books. There are lots of  good books. An intelligent lady might like this story of a mighty lion.”

Irene shook her head.

“I’ve always been here…..”

“I know, but if a child under 10 years old comes in and out here, wouldn’t the adults be uncomfortable? You may scribble or tear a book with colored pencils.”

“I don’t do that.

“You might have not, but you can do it in the future, right? Because children’s curiosity springs out of the wrong place.”

“I don’t have such curiosity.”

“First of all, kids should read books for their age. What a great thing. When I was young, there weren’t many books for kids.”

“I am……”

“Perhaps the little girl can find books that you like. These are books that are easy to read.”

In the end, Beth cut into the worst.


“My lady reads the book carefully! There’s no reason to be treated like this.”

The librarian didn’t even give a glance, as if she didn’t hear Beth’s story. Maybe she doesn’t even consider her human.

“Actually, there was a report that a silver-haired girl was going to be ruining books. So we couldn’t help it. Next, come back with your guardian.”

Of course, Beth couldn’t be the protector.

“Who… reported it?”

Irene asked carefully, but the librarian shook her head.

“We don’t know. I only know that a higher-ranking man did it.”

‘Higher-ranking.’

It may be a prediction, but Irene naturally thought of Roger Blake.

“Even if you don’t know who it is, you’ll regret it, little girl.” She said.
