I Became the Butler of the Seventh Princess, Who’s Regressing Into a Child - Episode 9
Episode 9
As discussed beforehand, my one-week training has ended.
I’ve gotten the hang of the workflow and can handle everything without any issues.
After finishing the day’s bath duties and wrapping up my work, I head to the break room with Elena.
Karin is already there.
Since it’s the last day of training, both Elena and Karin will give me my final evaluation.
“Rondo-san, today’s the last day. How do you feel?”
“I think I’m doing fine, but what do you two think?”
“From what I’ve seen, you’re doing well. If you have any questions during your work, feel free to ask. Karin-san, do you have anything to add?”
“I don’t really have anything either. You picked things up so quickly, it was a huge help!”
I’m relieved to hear that.
As I feel a sense of relief, Elena nods slowly.
“I feel the same. You can take tomorrow off. And from the day after, we’ll be counting on you.”
“Got it. By the way, I’d like to spend tomorrow leveling up. Is that okay?”
“I don’t mind, but… You’ve been working all week. Are you sure you’re not tired?”
“I’m fine, no problem at all.”
“Alright then. As long as you’re not staying out too late, you’re free to do as you like. Just be careful not to get hurt.”
I nod in agreement to Elena’s words.
If something were to happen to me, it would leave a gap in the shift schedule.
Since I’ve worked part-time jobs before, I know how tough that can be.
As I nod, Karin suddenly remembers something and speaks up.
“Oh, you can borrow the equipment from the mansion too. It might be a good idea to check the storage room beforehand.”
“…Is that so?”
That’s quite generous.
In games, preparing equipment can be quite a challenge—whether hunting for dropped items or spending money.
I doubt they’ll have the best gear right off the bat. And even if they do, there’s a good chance my current level and stats won’t allow me to use it yet.
But it’s nice to have decent equipment available from the start.
“By the way, Rondo-san, have you acquired a job class yet?”
“No, not yet.”
“In that case, you should probably choose one soon. Oh, do you have a divine blessing yet?”
“I don’t have one of those either.”
Divine blessings are one of the key elements in this world.
By offering prayers to a specific god, you can receive their blessing. It enhances your abilities.
The effect of the blessing varies depending on the god—some boost combat skills, while others enhance crafting abilities.
You need to carefully select both your blessing and job class to match your desired playstyle.
“I see. It’s a tough decision, isn’t it?”
“But even if you decide, you can change it later… right?”
In the game, that was the case.
However, since there are differences between this world and the game, I’m not entirely sure.
“Yes, but if you change your job class, your level resets to 1. So, if you keep changing jobs, your experience points will go to waste.”
“That’s right. If you don’t focus on mastering one job class, it’s difficult to reach high levels.”
When you switch job classes, your level resets to 1.
However, you can still use any skills you’ve already acquired. So sometimes unexpected skill combinations can emerge.
In the game, it was possible to acquire all skills if you put in enough time. And leveling up wasn’t too difficult.
But things seem different here.
Now that I think about it, the NPCs in the game weren’t that strong either…
If you don’t know the most efficient ways to level up, you probably won’t become that powerful.
“Elena, Karin, which gods’ blessings did you receive?”
“My god is the [Gale God Iris].”
If I remember correctly, that’s the god who enhances wind-related abilities.
It’s not particularly weak, but not one of the stronger gods either.
“My god is [Flame Blade God Fillea]. Most people choose gods that enhance their elemental attributes, don’t they?”
“That’s right. It’s the most straightforward and strongest option.”
“…I see.”
Karin’s blessing is also from a god that only strengthens fire attributes.
“…Is there a god named [Time God Limres]?”
“Huh? Yeah, there is, but… wasn’t the blessing not that strong?”
“I’ve never heard of the effects of that blessing.”
They haven’t heard of it?
The [Time God Limres] was a god added after an update, who provides a blessing that boosts various experience gains.
It was introduced because the level cap kept expanding, making leveling difficult for new players.
It seems that people in this world might not know much about things that were introduced after the update.
Also, like the [Pampering], there may be gods or job classes I don’t know about. So I should probably check before making any decisions… but it’s possible that no one else knows about them either.
“By the way, what level are you two?”
“I’m level 13 right now.”
“I’m level 14.”
“…Huh. So Karin reached level 14 already.”
“I went hunting a little yesterday. Hehe, I’ve passed you, Elena!”
It seems like Elena and Karin are slowly leveling up while competing with each other.
It’s a heartwarming sight.
I used to report things like that to my friends when I first started playing games too.
“I’m still level 1, so… I need to catch up to you two quickly.”
“There’s no need to rush. If something happens, it could be a problem.”
“Exactly. We only fight in emergencies anyway.”
Even though they say that, I really want to level up as soon as possible.
I mean, leveling up would simply give me more things to do. And that sounds fun.
“For now, tomorrow I’ll register as an adventurer, pick a job class and a blessing, and take it easy so I don’t get injured.”
“By the way, have you already thought about which job class to choose?”
Karin tilted her head and asked.
……Lady Luciana didn’t seem to mind much. But I wonder how these two will react if I say I’m thinking of becoming an [Enchanter].
“Actually, I’m thinking about becoming an [Enchanter].”
“Huh? [Enchanter]?”
“If I remember correctly, it’s not a very strong class, right?”
“That seems to be the case. But I have something I want to do with it.”
[Enchanter]—a unique job class that enhances equipment, oneself, or others by imbuing them with words.
In the game, it was a job class introduced after an update, and it’s quite difficult to handle.
However, if mastered, you could use all types of magic and strengthen equipment. It made it a broken class.
Depending on how it’s raised, it can fulfill the roles of attacker, supporter, or healer, making it a class that every party wanted at least one of.
“But if you’ve found something you want to do, then I think that’s the best choice for you, right?”
“That’s true. Since we don’t fight all that much, you’re free to choose whatever you like.”
…I’m relieved.
Neither of them seemed to have any objections.
I’ve grown close to them over the past week, so I’m glad they didn’t dislike my choice.
With the training completed, I took care of Lady Luciana as usual that night and ended the day peacefully.
Tomorrow, I’ll finally embark on my first adventure in this new world.
I can’t wait.
