A message came from Xervus-san that he was having a hard time selecting people.
I talked about it in the living room with everyone.
「It’s been a challenge to gather them? Wouldn’t it be better to just search for maids at a slavery company?」
「Akane-san, even if it’s a slavery company, the Moulin Slavery Company is scrupulous with its training, so we’d be able to get maids to work immediately, but normal companies seem to only provide the minimum level of training.」 This update ıs available on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
「We can’t expect immediate workers, huh……」
Akane and Maria even brought up slaves in our search for maids. We have many secrets like the Teleleport Gates and the Sky Islands, so that’s a viable option for keeping them confidential, but the issue from Xervus-san was slightly different.
「Akane, Maria, what Xervus-san was talking about was different. It’s not that he couldn’t gather people. He’s troubled because there’s a flood of applications.」
Considering how a butler needs to be a prudent individual, Xervus-san searched not only in the Volton Margravery, but all over to find a vastly capable and faithful individual.. Being employed by us also meant that they would be able to enter the Sanctuary. This meant that they had to pass in the strict eyes of the Great Spirits. The people who have hidden agendas and anyone with strings attached would not be deemed acceptable by the Great Spirits.
「There were many nobles and merchants who want the Sanctuary-grown fruits and liquor, after all.」
「Laeva’s potions are also popular.」
There was no end to the number of nobles pushing their staff to, as well as other people who want to be a servant to, the person who was considered thought to be managing the sanctuary which had plenty of items that could not be obtained anywhere else. When the information that we wanted people had spread, it became impossible to gather people.
「So what will we do? The butler has to be quite the diligent person or it wouldn’t work with us.」
「You have a point. Should we get Sylph and Undine do the interviews?」
The moment I was about to say that it was a joke, not only Undine and Sylph, but even Dryas, Selene, and Nyx appeared on the spot.
「Takumi-chan~, leave the interviews to us oneechans~」
「Yeah, if you’re hiring a butler, that person would come and go between the Sanctuary, Volton, Sky Island, and Demon Continent bases wouldn’t they? If so, we will choose someone properly.」
「Such an interesting, I mean, important thing would not be possible without us, now would it?」
「Yes, yes, Nyx and I have a sharp eye for any ill intent.」
「……yep, will see through them.」
Dryas, Undine, Sylph, Selene, and Nyx each gave their piece on how there’s no better interviewer than them.
Yup, they definitely find this interesting. Still, I guess this could be called a godsend.
「I get it. But the interview can’t be in the Sanctuary.」
「Don’t worry, Takumi-chan. Us oneechans will manifest in Volton.」
「Only few would clear our check, so the screening will end quickly.」
「Takumi, you can choose who you like among them.」
Dryas said that it would be fine to hold the interviews in Volton. Sylph said that no matter how many people apply, there would be few who could win the favor the Great Spirits, so the check would end soon. And like Undine said, we’ll have to decide if they’re compatible with us.
「In any case, Xervus-san contacted me to say he wanted more time.」
「That’s probably to give time for other nobles and merchants to prepare to send people in.」
「If only Margrave Volton deepened his connections, those around him would be envious.」
Wanting more time for the interview was probably for that. Akane and Sophia explained as such.
「What those nobles and merchants think is none of our concern.」
「Yeah, once the date has been decided, do tell us oneechans.」
「Well, even if Takumi doesn’t tell us, we’ll know anyway.」
「Then, that settles it.」
Undine, Dryas, and the other Great Spirits said all that they wanted to say and disappeared.
「I wonder if Xervus-san would be surprised.」
「I believe anyone would be surprised to hear that the Great Spirits would gather to be the interviewers.」
「……it’d be great if it stops at being surprised.」
Sophia and Maria pitied Xervus-san who had to manage the place that may turn chaotic with the Great Spirits manifesting in the appointed place on that set date.
Still, it might be better that Salamander, who finds most things bothersome, and Gnome, who was busy with making alcohol, were not coming.
Or so I’ve been telling myself.
Cuz if all of the Great Spirits were to manifest in Volton, there’s no way it wouldn’t cause a panic. It’s really making my head hurt.
「Haa, I’ll make some golems to police the venue.」
「Then Laeva will help too.」
Laeva and I moved to the workshop to build golems for the interview that turned into a bigger deal than imagined.
