Sebastian, Maribelle, and the other employees had grown accustomed to the Teleport Gates, so the transfer to the Sanctuary went smoothly.
「Isn’t this bigger than the mansion in Volton……?」
Coming up the first floor from the basement where the Teleport Gates are installed, Maribelle could not finish giving out her impression of the mansion. Everyone else was dumbfounded.
「……this is magnificent.」
Now up on the first floor, they were at a loss for words at the sight they could see from the living room.
The clean, sparkling water of the Spirit Spring, and behind it towered the Spirit Tree, jutting high into the heavens. Even further back spread the plentiful northern forest.
Given how my mansion is in a prime location, the view from the living room is something I can be proud of.
However, our new servants were not only stunned and speechless from the amazing view of the Sanctuary, there was also the view of the Great Spirits Undine, Sylph, and Dryas who were relaxing as though they were meant to be in the living room.
「Oh my, Takumi, welcome back. Right on time. Maria, tea please.」
Undine asked Maria for tea as though she was the mistress of the mansion. This was the usual for Maria, so without a word of complaint, she headed to the kitchen to prepare the tea, and Marnie went with her to help.
「………ha, I-I will help.」
Coming out of their daze, Mabel and Sala hurriedly followed after Maria and Marnie.
Smiling wryly, I advised them to not be too nervous every time the Great Spirits appear in the Sanctuary.
「Undine, Sylph, and Dryas hang around this mansion especially, so you won’t last if you’re always nervous.」
「He’s right, this is the Sanctuary. We would be pleased if you treat us normally.」
「Yes~ I hope we get along well~」
It wouldn’t happen immediately even with Undine and Dryas saying so, but the servants have no choice but to get used to this. This is the Sanctuary where Spirits naturally manifest.
「I assume you know them because you met them during the interviews, but from the right are Undine, Sylph, and Dryas. You also met the other two, Selene and Nyx. Lastly, you will eventually meet Gnome and Salamander who are cooped up in the Sanctuary.」
「I see, Undine-sama, Sylph-sama, Dryas-sama, my name is Sebastian and I was hired to be the chamberlain of the Iruma Family. At my side is Jeeves who was employed primarily as this mansion’s butler, pleased to make your acquaintance.」
Sebastian bowed deeply to the Great Spirits present, and Jeeves mimicked him.
「Oh Great Spirits, I am Maribelle and I manage the maids. Please take care of me from now on.」
Maribelle bowed and the maids hurriedly followed suit.
「Pleased to meet you.」
「You don’t need to be that tense.」
「Yeah~ It’s okay to feel comfortable with us Oneechans~」
Undine and Sylph responded to Sebastian and the servants’ greetings, but it didn’t matter much.
「Hey, why can I see a pool from the living room? It wasn’t here last time.」
My mansion was built on the location that has the best view of the Spirit Tree and Spirit Spring, but the garden was just supposed to have been planted with a lawn, flowers and trees. But a pool appeared before I knew it.
It doesn’t spoil the gardenscape, but I definitely couldn’t overlook it.
「Ahh, that pool. Us Oneechans made it thinking we could play with the Sanctuary kids once summer comes around.」
「I prepared the water, so it would always be clean, you know.」
「If Gnome is asked, it gets done in an instant.」
「Haa, I won’t agree to it next time.」
It seemed to have been Dryas’ idea, but once she mentioned the kids, I couldn’t say no.
「Hey, the Great Spirits just do as they like, so you don’t need to be too attentive.」
I looked back at Sebastian and Maribelle as I said so, but as expected, I didn’t get a “Yes, I understand” response.
Since we were doing introductions anyway, I’ll take them to the brewery where Gnome and Salamander are at.
The Dwarves Golan-san and Doganbo-san were there as well so it’s perfect.
It felt like a very sloppy way to end the base tour, but I guess this is also very like “us”.
