#53

“Here is the deed of sale. Also, I have completed all measures so that Lady can legally reside on this land, so please rest assured. If you encounter any difficulties, please let us know at any time.”

“Yes. Thank you, Sir Aivan.”

I had been worried since originally residing on this land itself was illegal, but it was cleanly resolved thanks to the diamond spoon chance.

I could even set up a separate Somphara boutique in that purchased building. Open a grocery store and sell crops from the Vegetable Garden too.

I possessed someone’s body, and now I’m a building owner! Muhaha!

“This is really… I was truly surprised to hear that Master had been receiving care at Lady’s Mansion. Ah, that… Lady, could you lend me your ear for a moment…?”

While I was grinning so hard my cheeks were getting stiff, Sir Aivan carefully began to speak.

I nodded and brought my ear close, and Sir Aivan glanced at the Knight Order and whispered quietly.

“I was also shocked nearly to the point of fainting when I heard the news of what happened to Master. To think he transformed at Lady’s Mansion… Ah, this matter is still classified even within the Duke’s Family.”

Sir Aivan gestured toward the Knight Order with his eyes.

Ah, so he’s telling me to keep my mouth shut since it’s classified?

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of carelessly spreading rumors about Ruan either.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Lady. Anyway… you must have been quite shocked, being such a del… *ahem*, Lady.”

He was about to say delicate Lady but quickly changed his words, right?

Really, like master, like subordinate.

“Well, I was a bit surprised at first, but…”

I turned my face away from Sir Aivan and looked around.

Then a large angel statue playing a harp caught my eye.

I walked briskly toward that statue without hesitation.

Then I lifted the statue, which was taller than me, with one hand.

“As you can see, I’m not your ordinary ‘delicate’ Lady.”

I raised one corner of my mouth and acted smugly, and the knights’ attention immediately focused on me.

“Wait a moment, Lady! Did you just lift that with one hand? That statue should weigh enough that it would take three grown men to barely move it… Huh…”

“Oh my, it’s lighter than a feather. Sir Aivan, you should train the Knight Order more rigorously.”

I shrugged my shoulders while looking at the green-haired knight whose eyes had widened at my overflowing vigor.

“You’re completely ruining the dignity of our Chevalier Order, Nox…”

Sir Aivan muttered quietly and rubbed his face with his hand.

Heheh… This is the dignity of a overpowered character. This is it!

When I checked my player stat window recently, most of the numbers had risen dramatically.

Among them, my strength stat had reached a whopping 500.

It was truly an extraordinarily rapid growth.

Well, if there’s one strange thing, it’s that only the ‘mana’ stat hasn’t risen at all and remains the same?

But it wasn’t a particularly concerning issue.

After all, I have the ability to use the magic of magical beasts, and it doesn’t seem to be greatly related to mana since my rank jumped directly from F to C.

The reason such explosive growth is possible in such a short time is… indeed, thanks to the SSS+ grade weapon?

Our Attica bus is the best!

While I was being narcissistic, green-haired Nox continued speaking with eyes shining as if he had taken the bait.

“Oh, your spirit is truly amazing! Ha, if someone as strong as Lady became the mistress of our Duke’s Family, it would be really great…!”

“Hey, you fool Nox! Master specifically instructed us not to say unnecessary things in front of Lady!”

Sir Aivan scolded Nox to come to his senses, but Nox completely ignored it and continued speaking.

“Come on, honestly, don’t you think the same way, Vice-Captain?”

“What am I supposed to think, you fool.”

“No, our Master… he hates being a nuisance to others more than death, and he used to look at women like stones, but he stayed at this house for a whole month. Even if he damaged Lady’s Mansion, Master’s personality would be to settle it nicely with money instead.”

“Oh, that’s right. Right! Vice-Captain, didn’t you also say that the way Master looks at Lady is unusual? You said it wasn’t that fake smile he always wore for young ladies at balls, and you went on and on saying that finally a ray of light could be seen for the Duke’s Family’s future.”

“No, but first look at Lady. She’s so beautiful! That’s why Master fell for her at first sight. Being drawn to beauty is an unavoidable male instinct.”

“That’s right. I thought my heart would stop when I first saw Lady too… In the Northern Region, no, in the entire Empire, there probably isn’t a Lady with such beauty.”

“Now I see why Master wasn’t interested in the opposite sex. His standards were too high!”

“Right, right. Our Master… even though he treats everyone kindly, he doesn’t really let people get close, right? But after meeting our strong and beautiful Lady Blanc, spring finally bloomed in Master’s heart too.”

Nox’s words became the fuse, and the knights nearby joined in, soon causing a big commotion.

I sighed while looking at this hopeless Knight Order.

“Well, I would feel at ease with Lady Blanc too, but… I don’t know how Lady thinks about Master.”

Sir Aivan’s eyes, colored with expectation, pierced into me.

What, what am I supposed to do about it? Why are you looking at me with those eyes?

I’m a busy person enjoying a happy animal life, you know?

I deliberately avoided Sir Aivan’s earnest gaze.

“Come on, our Master is good enough! He’s perfect with beauty, wealth, education, family background – nothing is lacking, right?”

Well, that is true.

…No wait! What is everyone really trying to do…

I barely managed to hold onto my sanity as I was about to nod unconsciously.

Ha, I almost got swept up in it.

-Hey, Zoe. Looks like those guys have marked you as the next duchess? Tsk, they have no eye for people.

“Grrrowl- What’s wrong with our Zoe?! And as if Zoe would go to that human? He should know his place. Kyu!”

“Good heavens, Lady Zoe… you’re not going to leave for the Duke’s Family entirely, are you? Right?”

I held my forehead while looking at the magical beasts who were tactlessly chiming in.

“…How about everyone please be quiet and finish moving the items.”

“Hup. I-I’m sorry, Lady. You lot, stop chattering and move quickly!”

Sir Aivan, who noticed my stiffly hardened face, hurriedly disciplined the Knight Order.

Then the Penrister Logistics Warehouse resumed operation in perfect order.

I straightened my scattered thoughts and looked contentedly at the items being stacked up neatly.

It finally seemed like the organization was almost finished.

“Lady Zoe, shall I serve some snacks to those people? I just baked a lot of cookies with the new oven.”

“Ah, that’s a good idea! Golem really has great sense.”

I gave Golem a thumbs up and shouted toward the Chevalier Order.

“Everyone, please have some snacks!”

* * *

“Finally finished…”

I plopped down while looking at the scenery of the manor that had become clean without a speck of dust.

Anyway, this game is definitely not a healing game but a cleaning game.

[<System> Congratulations! You have achieved the highest grade in the ‘Scrub Scrub Clean Clean Cleaning Master’ skill!]

-Reward: You acquire a new title, ‘Dust Terminator’!

-Effect: Items cleaned by the player will no longer attract dust or contaminants. A clean state will be maintained for one month.

Ha, one month? So from now on I only need to clean once a month?

I was moved by the fact that I could finally escape from the back pain that severely lowered my quality of life.

I know it sounds like a luxury problem, but the manor had become two, no, three times bigger than before, so I almost broke my spine while cleaning.

Tsk, this weak body. Only strength is high, but stamina is a mess.

While my strength stat hit 500, my stamina barely reached 200. It’s all because I have no muscles.

I was grinning while celebrating my complete liberation from the detestable cleaning.
