I Became the Butler of the Seventh Princess, Who’s Regressing Into a Child - Episode 4

Episode 4

It was my day off, and starting tomorrow, my work would begin.  

…For now, it seems like I’ll be working alongside Karin as part of my training tomorrow.  

A lot has happened since I realized I’d been reincarnated into another world.  

Sold off by my parents, I ended up working as a male prostitute… I thought I had my first client, but it turned out to be the Seventh Princess….. And then, somehow, she “bought” me. Now I’m the Seventh Princess’ personal butler.  

Isn’t my life just too chaotic…?  

Anyway.  

I might not have much freedom. But from now on, I should just enjoy this world.  

No matter what’s happened, I can’t deny that Lady Luciana saved me.  

—If I had continued working as a male prostitute, I would’ve caught all sorts of diseases by now.  

At any rate, I’m grateful to Lady Luciana.  

It was while I was thinking about that.  

Suddenly, the door swung open with a bang.  

Huh? Wh-What’s going on?  

Startled, I turned around, and there stood… Lady Luciana.  

“Rondo, are you awake?”  

“Y-Yes… What’s the matter?”  

I responded hurriedly, and she let out a small sigh before striding into the room.  

She shut the door behind her and even locked it.  

…Wh-What’s going on?  

“I bought you so you would be somewhere I could always see you, didn’t I?”  

“…Y-Yes.”  

“And at the same time… I’ve been thinking about something.”  

“…What is it?”  

“I figure, since you understand my preferences, I can do whatever I want with you, right?”  

“…Huh?”  

“So… I want you to spoil me.”

Her eyes were shining as she spread her arms wide.  

“N-No, but… what if someone sees us!?”  

“I’ve locked the door so no one can. Now, enough talk—spoil me already. Babu, babubabu!”  

“………”  

S-Seriously, we’re doing this again…?  

I had no choice but to sit on the bed, and she immediately climbed onto my lap.  

As I stroked her head, Lady Luciana flashed a huge smile and stretched out her arms.  

“Daddy, carry me!”  

I am NOT your daddy!  

I tried to lift her like a baby, but…  

“Ugh, so heavy!”  

“…….Excuse me?”  

With my current stats, lifting her seemed impossible.  

“I’m not heavy at all.”  

“…Please don’t suddenly snap back to reality. I’m level 1, so my stats are still low.”  

“What…? Ugh, fine. Maybe we should work on leveling you up before making you take care of me. Whatever, for now… Daddy, piggyback!”  

“…Alright.”  

I decided to give her a piggyback ride. It’s easier than carrying her, but still a lot of work…!  

Also, Lady Luciana didn’t seem to care, but… her ample chest was pressing against my back.  

I really need to not think about that too much.  

“Babuu!”  

She sounded content as she lay on my back.  

…Am I going to have to do this every day from now on?  

While wondering about that, I continued giving Lady Luciana a piggyback ride, trying to calm her.  

—

The next day.  

To learn my duties as Lady Luciana’s exclusive butler, I started working alongside Karin.  

After putting on the butler’s uniform that had been prepared for me at some point, I bowed to Karin.  

“My name is Rondo. I look forward to working with you.”  

“I’m Karin. No need for formalities between fellow servants, okay?”  

“…Really? …Okay.”  

Karin gave me an intent look. And when I adjusted my tone, she smiled contentedly.  

She’s a gentle, laid-back, big-sister type succubus.  

That’s the character of Karin.  

She’s the embodiment of warmth. Honestly, Lady Luciana could just lean on her instead.  

Lady Luciana, meanwhile, sat in her office chair. She looked sharp as she gazed in my direction.  

“Rondo, don’t be so tense. Take it easy.”  

“…Understood. Thank you for your consideration.”  

The difference between Lady Luciana, who was babbling “babu babu” last night, and her current demeanor was staggering.  

It’s like that clingy, needy side of hers was a completely different person.  

…Right now, Lady Luciana is fully focused on her work and looks truly dignified.  

I can’t just stand here staring at her forever. I’ve got work to do as well.  

Seeing Karin start walking with a smile, I quickly follow behind her.  

“Alright, Rondo-kun. First, let’s serve some tea to Lady Luciana.”  

Prompted by Karin, I headed to the dining room with her to prepare the tea.  

“Does Lady Luciana like tea?”  

“Yes, especially tea made from ‘Lufea Leaf’. We always serve it first thing in the morning.”  

Karin smiled sweetly as she took out a container of beautiful, bluish tea leaves from the shelf.  

‘Lufea Leaf’—it was an item that appeared in the game too.  

I really did reincarnate into the world of that game…  

“So this is ‘Lufea Leaf’…”  

As I engraved the name in my mind, I carefully examined the delicate leaves in my hand.  

The bluish, shimmering leaves looked almost magical, like they were imbued with mystical power.  

“This tea requires a special brewing method, so watch carefully, okay?”  

With those words, Karin gracefully picked up the teapot.
