The Male Lead’s Devoted Maid is Too Competent Episode 007
Christen frowned. Then he sighed and said.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Sigh, the bill will automatically be sent to the Grand Duke’s House at the end of the month, so you don’t need to worry about payment.”
“Ah. That’s how it works?”
I almost misunderstood again! I must have a rich imagination from consuming too much content. Well, there’s no way the male protagonist would be like that. I smiled sheepishly and tilted my head.
“What you were thinking just now… no, never mind.”
Christen clicked his tongue and pressed the pendant into my hand. A cold and cool sensation penetrated my palm.
So this is like a corporate card here. A corporate card with no limit!
The reassuring feeling of becoming a chaebol made me swallow hard.
“Take this opportunity to purchase everything you need.”
“I’ll work hard!”
I bowed my waist and straightened up. How generous he is. I had been wanting to buy various ink colors and a new quill pen anyway.
If there’s something like a fountain pen, maybe that too? If there are books about tax law or administrative law in this world, I wanted to buy those, and if there’s a typewriter, I wanted that too.
The word “everything” made me excited…
An optical illusion occurred where Christen, who was already handsome, looked even more handsome. The kind of character and appearance you could only see in the heavenly realm, not the human world. He’s really perfect as a boss to admire from afar like a picture.
“By the way, when can I receive my salary? Would an advance be possible?”
“An advance? Do you need money for something?”
At that moment, something faint seemed to color Christen’s voice. Even rich people are sensitive about salaries, I guess.
“Ah, I wanted to purchase some personal items too.”
I wanted to buy undergarments, a few comfortable dresses, and one or two pairs of comfortable shoes.
The original Roella and I have completely different tastes. I don’t know the market prices here, so I don’t know how much I’ll need, but I was planning to splurge my entire first salary with tears in my eyes.
“I need clothes that are comfortable for work, and shoes too. What I’m wearing now… is too uncomfortable.”
Even though it doesn’t have frilly lace, it’s made too form-fitting as if to emphasize the figure, and the skirt is so puffy that it’s uncomfortable to sit in a chair.
How on earth do you wear something like this? Do you just perch slightly on the edge of the chair? And since I was hired as a bedroom maid(?), why do I need shoes like this?
When I asked Lady Rosette, she only answered that these were clothes I had brought from the beginning. I feel like there might be some suspicious ulterior motive. You know that typical cliché. Still, since we’re staying in the same bedroom, she must have approached with the intention of doing something to the Male Lead.
If she took all the money from selling her daughter and ran away completely, she seems to have that kind of character. Roella probably didn’t have such intentions though. Anyway, these clothes won’t do.
“…If that’s the intention, we can purchase them together.”
“Yes…? Really?”
“Think of it as a reward for working hard for Acrasia day and night.”
“…I’ll work like a dog!”
“What?”
I smiled brightly. My salary is secured. How merciful he is. Now Christen’s face looks golden to me.
Leaving Christen behind, I came out of the manor clutching the pendant tightly in my hand. In front of the carriage, a handsome-looking knight was waiting. He wasn’t wearing armor but was dressed in a comfortable shirt and pants.
However, from the sword at his waist and his military boots, I could guess that he was a knight.
“Hello, Miss Roella. I’m Heutnen, who will be serving you today. I’ve been assigned as a porter, so please feel free to use me.”
I thought he looked somewhat younger than me. The man spoke to me cheerfully. He even assigned me a porter, truly our boss’s class. Wow… Even his physiognomy is different.
I felt good from the start.
Let’s flex a little today.

Christen ran his hand through his hair and turned to look at Aidan.
“What did Lady Roella just say?”
“That she’d work like a dog…”
There was laughter mixed in Aidan’s voice. Christen also let out a hollow laugh. Even though she was a lower noble, she was still nobility, and he never could have imagined such words coming from a young lady’s mouth. Moreover, those eyes filled with nothing but passion, completely unaware of how strange it was.
Christen clicked his tongue.
“Are you sure this is alright? A noble is still a noble. If she wants to live luxuriously, she could do so endlessly.”
“…That much is fine. All the money paid to Lady Roella and her father was taken and run off with by her father, wasn’t it?”
Christen smiled coldly.
“Think of it as payment for keeping my life going. No matter how much it amounts to. Besides, I’ve assigned surveillance, so there’s no chance of escape. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
Right now, he didn’t have the energy to spare for such things. Soon the retainers would gather at the Grand Duke’s Castle. To select a new civil engineering administrator.
So Christen had completely forgotten about this matter.

After commissioning the charts needed for the printing house, I first stopped by the general store.
Even so, it was work time, so I wanted to buy things directly necessary for work first. Since I had no way of knowing what items existed in this world, I planned to look around carefully before purchasing.
It would be nice if there were typewriters. These days I was longing for the scent of modern civilization.
Ding-a-ling.
According to Heutnen, all office supplies are sold here. Let’s start with ink.
Heutnen followed behind me as I entered.
“Wow, there’s really a variety of ink colors.”
Writing is all about having good equipment. In places like this where there are no highlighters or markers, colored ink is bound to be helpful. Especially bright colors.
Hot pink? This has good color saturation.
I picked three colors that would stand out at a glance among the black text.
Next were quill pens and fountain pens.
“You certainly have a good eye! I could tell from the moment you walked in. First, let me introduce this fountain pen. It’s newly arrived with a design that ladies would prefer…!”
“Design isn’t important.”
For work, practicality is everything. The shop owner looked puzzled at my words.
“With a pen like this, love letters would flow smoothly, my lady. Of course, we also sell high-quality letter paper that would go perfectly with it!”
What love letters.
“I didn’t come here to buy such things. I’m looking at fountain pens for work use. Something as practical as possible. Something that won’t hurt my hand even after long use, has smooth writing feel, and writes smoothly with just one stroke like this.”
The shop owner’s face turned sour. He must have been planning to sell that high-quality letter paper, but things didn’t go as he intended.
And the fountain pen the shop owner recommended to me was a design that focused on being pretty, even having gems embedded in it. Why would anyone buy something like that?
Looking around, it seemed like there were typewriters too. It would probably be better to get a typewriter recommendation instead.
“And I’m also looking at typewriters.”
“Typewriters…!”
The shop owner’s enthusiasm returned.
“Are you using it for work?”
“Yes. I’d like the typewriter to have high sensitivity. So it writes easily even with just a light touch.”
“If that’s what you’re looking for, please come this way!”
I temporarily set aside the fountain pen and headed to where the typewriters were displayed. Ah, at least this feels like it has the scent of modern civilization. I was on the verge of getting dizzy.
“For typewriters, the cheapest ones start at 20 ecra.”
2 million won? No, that’s laptop prices? As expected of modern civilization.
But I had an unlimited corporate card.
Bring me everything. Hehehe.
