Sebas Side: Young Master Is a Dangerous Individual
“Master, it is Sebas. Do you have a moment?”
I waited in front of Master’s office. It should have only been a short time until I received a reply, yet my thoughts were spinning at high speed, threatening to overheat.
Young Master Kaito’s recent behavior has been abnormal. Not in a bad way. If anything, it brings nothing but joy, but at the same time, I felt danger in it. The young master is still only four years old.
Starting with the Kai Chair, and then those countermeasures against fraud… could just anyone come up with something like that? A warranty for products? I had never even considered such a thing before. The ability to devise such perfect countermeasures… if turned against us, it would be a threat.
Come to think of it, there was also talk about opening a miso storefront in the noble district. I wonder what became of that? It should be about time we heard back from them.
And yet… the miso bees, the very source of miso soup, I had no idea they were something so remarkable. From creatures no one had paid any attention to, he not only thought up how to use the miso, but even ways to prepare it. It’s strange. Not only does he come up with ideas no one else would think of, but when questions arise, he already has answers. It almost feels as if he’s guiding the adults.
He is not someone to be underestimated.
We must raise the young master with great care. So that that intellect does not turn toward evil, we adults must guide him.
Grow quickly, Young Master Kaito. So that you may one day step out into the wider world… so that you may go meet the elves. My role is to support you, and to watch over you.
“Ah, Sebas. Come in.”
Master’s voice pulled me back to reality.
“Excuse me. I have matters to report to you, Master.”
Master… your son is a remarkably dangerous individual. Surely you and Milady have already noticed?
“I was just free. What is it you wish to discuss?”
“There are two requests, one from Milady, and one from Young Master Kaito.”
“Hmm, I see. Let’s hear Amana’s request first.
(What is this? My beloved Amana. I’ve been busy lately, haven’t had time for her. Did she ask Sebas to let me take time off and dote on her? Or perhaps she wants me to give her more attention? A cute little plea, maybe? Oh, come on, that’s irresistible.
… Wait? If that were the case, she’d ask me directly. There’s no way she’d go through Sebas just to request time with me.
No, a request…? Damn it, when Amana makes a request, those teary eyes of hers… pressing her chest together, showing that alluring, explosive, generous cleavage… that pose is meant only for me. Mine alone.
… Sebas. I won’t forgive this.)
I won’t forgive you.”
“Huh? Eh? Did I do something wrong
C-could it be!? Did you find out I secretly ate ten garigarkuu steaks yesterday? Do I smell!?”
(What did you say!? Ten garigarkuu steaks!?)
“I deeply apologize, Master. I shall have eleven garigarkuu steaks prepared for your supper tonight. Will that earn your forgiveness?”
“(Eleven, huh? One more than Sebas. Not bad.)
… Very well.”
“Then, returning to the matter at hand, Milady has requested that we create a sample of something called a ‘chawan.’”
“(Hm? Not a nighttime request?)
What is this ‘chawan’? Explain it to me.”
What do you think about this chapter?
