Chapter 31 (1/2)
[Next]T.N: as usual, this chapter is also Mitsuha’s POV.
Whenever you see “I” which means Mitsuha thought.
Whenever you “Mitsuha” which means FUNA sensei narrator.
By the way, I cut apart Mitsuha’s Mono-inner-thought to many parts to understand easier.
Mitsuha Novel Chapter 31: Great Cleaning
I entered the town on foot.
As I walk for a while, I can see the sea ahead.
This is rather rare for a dead end town to have streets for travelers.
However, why does everyone look at me, is it so rare to see a traveler?
Ah, is it because a loli in one piece dress appeared alone in this place?
Anyway, my stomach is empty. For now let’s eat in a restaurant, or any shop available.
I will also need to collect information.
So, I will not eat at home (on earth) today.
I will order a 《full set meal》 properly.
At that time, when I heard the name of the town, I thought is was a《town》.
I see. Then it was just named after Mitsuha?
But if it’s this small, isn't it just a 《village》then?
Because this is a seaside village, the《full set meal》here is just mainly fish.
Yeah, it’s more like a《fish set meals》
There’s no other impression.
It is a small restaurant in a rural place, and it isn’t time to have meal yet, so there are no other customers.
For now, I should talk to the owner and listen to the reputation of the former lord, but the mouth of this woman is… too big. (T.N: talk too much)
[Well, the former lord is a disgrace, his family is crushed…
And the no-one knew how the next lord would be…
It was unlikely that a good lord would come to the rural territory like this…] (Shop Owner)
Something like that.
But this is not something something you should talk to an unknown person.
This owner seems like a casual person.
Well, I gave up listening to her blah-blah-blah and left the store after asking where the lord’s mansion is.
The mansion is at the outer edge of the town.
Because this village is quite small, the buildings is spa.r.s.e. So, I reached the place quite fast.
Un, I won’t call this the lord’s mansion anymore.
Well, I wonder if should I call it my lord’s house then.
Haaa, I felt bad with the lord things, the shop owner and the lord house.
First of all, I will put down my baggage on my shoulder and then I will knock with this door knocker.
And then…
『Who are you?』(Maid)
A (wild) maid-san from 16 to 17 years old appeared and asked Mitsuha so.
Yes, the former lord was forfeited his n.o.ble t.i.tle, but the servants weren’t.The next lord also was also in need of servants, and he couldn’t just bring employees from his former territory easily, even if he was a va.s.sal.
Those servants normally wouldn’t want to leave their families, their friends, their hometown to another land.
And the new lord isn’t familiar with this land, he will not be able to recruit good servants in a strange land.
For that reason, except for the old servants who want to leave themselves, most of them would remain in the lord mansion to serve the next lord.
Of course, after seeing the next lord, they can quit if they don’t like the new lord.
Also, on the contrary, the new lord may not want to hire the servants they he doesn’t like.
And of course, those who dare to say《the previous lord was better》are most likely to be kicked out.
That’s why, most of the servants will still remain, and they will welcome Mitsuha as the new lady.
Anyway, this is my servant.
At least for the moment.
『Ah, I’m Mitsuha』(Mitsuha)
『Mitsuhsan?』(Maid)
Maid doesn’t seem to know about Mitsuha.
『I became the lord here, Mitsuha von Yamano』(Mitsuha)
『Eh, ah, yes. EEEEEeeeeh!』(Maid)
