I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 76

“Th-this is…”

The place I arrived at after walking around searching for Maron and the others using magic was the Earl Osborne’s residence.

“Why?”

I enter my home while feeling uncertain. It’s been a while since I’ve been home. I came without notice, but I wonder if it’s okay. I feel a bit worried.

“Miss Yuria!? Welcome back!”

“I’m home.”

I thought I might be stopped, but it seems I was able to enter the house without any issues. When I opened the front door, the servant noticed and greeted me.

“Is Father in his office?”

“Yes. I believe he is currently in a meeting. Would you like to go back to your room and change?”

“I’m going to head straight to Father.”

“Understood.”

――Knock knock knock

“Put it in.”

Father answers briefly. When I open the door and enter the office, he looks surprised.

“Yuria. What’s wrong? All of a sudden.”

“Father, I’m sorry for coming back so suddenly. There’s something I want to ask. I’ll return as soon as I’m done.”

“Well, I don’t mind when you come back home. What’s the matter?”

My father asked with a puzzled expression. Judging by his demeanor, he probably didn’t know anything.

“The children of my former maid, Eme, have been taken by the nobles and have not returned.”

“Kidnapped by a noble?”

“There was a witness who said they were talking to the boy who got off the carriage. Then, they cast a search spell on Eme’s children and, while searching like this, they ended up at our house.”

When I showed my father the enchanted Marron notebook, he furrowed his brow and opened his mouth.

“The noble took them away. So, to our house, huh? Search.”

They might have thought it would look bad.

Understood.

As I was about to leave the office and head towards the destination indicated by the note, it seemed my father decided to come along as well.

The red thread is heading to the second floor.

And then, as I walked down the hallway, I stopped in front of the room.

……Jonas’s room??

I knock on the door, wondering about it.

Then, something can be heard from inside.

There was no response, but I opened the door.

“Lady Yuria!”

The first thing that caught my eye was Maron and Rena.

They were standing around the table together. And sitting in the middle was Jonas.

“What does this mean?”

It seems like both of them are safe. Still, what kind of situation are they in?

“Miss, ‘Jonas, what do you mean?'”

When Marron was about to say something, his father, who was behind him, entered the room and asked in an irritated tone. Well, it makes sense. If the kidnapper was his own son, it wouldn’t be surprising for him to be angry.

“F-Father, th-this has a reason.”

Jonas hurriedly stood up, looking embarrassed.

“What is the reason?”

“It’s because Sister Yuria is exceptional. Allen mentioned it the other day, didn’t he? It’s not that Sister Yuria is exceptional, it’s just that the maid is exceptional.”

I always thought I was exceptional.

But the more I learn from the teacher, the more miserable I feel.

I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t have the knowledge or manners to even mock Sister Yuria.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to assign one of Yuria-sama’s maids to me.

“But, wasn’t it the maid’s child you brought back?”

Emé, who used to be my maid, is undoubtedly an excellent maid, but the ones I brought with me are Marron and Rena.

Father is also listening, perhaps wondering.

“I was curious, so when I went out to the town, I heard that the children of the maids are just as capable as the maids themselves. I thought it would be nice if two people close to my age could work as attendants.”

My head hurts…
