I Favor The Villainess Chapter 28

Chapter 28
Way of maid

“And that’s why, I got Lene to be a lecturer”
“I’m Lene . Please treat me well”

When I introduced her, Lene softly laughed and lowered her head .
All the order’s members were slightly confused, but still welcomed her with applause .

I sneaked a peak at one person .

“Hey, commoner . What do you think you are doing, using someone’s servant as you please”

Claire-sama stood up and rushed here .

“No, I asked for it”
“Rod-sama…”

With his intervention, Claire-sama’s tone weakened .

In preparation for the gender-reversal café, Rod-sama asked that he wishes to be introduced to a person well-acquainted with serving customers and cooking .
So, I chose Lene .
She’s been serving a difficult person like Claire-sama as a maid for many years, I think that’s plenty enough to be a lecturer .

“If that is the case… It cannot be helped”

Claire-sama said unwillingly and sat down .

“Then, please, Lene”
“Yup”

Lene smiled pleasantly and surveyed her surroundings .

“Before teaching how to serve customers and cook, I have a request”
“Yup? What is it?”

Yuu-sama asked carefreely .

“Unlike everyone here, I’m a commoner . Among the Order of the Academy there appear to be some commoners, but still they are the elite who have pa.s.sed the selection exam . There are many people who must be opposed to asking somebody like me to teach, aren’t they”

It may be as she said .
There’s basically no opportunity for n.o.ble members to be taught by commoners .
For commoners, who yearned for the Order of the Academy enough to join, it might be a matter of pride .
There’s nothing I can say .

“… What about it?”

Sein-sama prompted Lene .

“I’m aware I’m being rude, but because I’m teaching royalty and n.o.bility, I’d like to do away with the distinction from commoners . Being fixated on that will make you unable to serve customers”
“Hmm, that’s fine . There’s no problem, right?”

With Rod-sama saying it’s fine, no n.o.ble will oppose .
Needless to say, the same goes for commoners .

“Thank you . Then, from now until the day of the festival, please call me teacher”

At Lene’s words, the council room became noisy .
Is it really necessary to go that far, was the reaction .

“Lene, do not get carried――”
“It’s Lene-sensei”

Lene calmly interrupted Claire-sama’s sharp words, and while she said it gently, the tone was tinged with the feeling of not allowing refusal .

“Wha, wha…”
“Claire-sama, please call me that . Ready, go?”
“Gu…”
“Fuhaha! You’re interesting . Claire, call her that”

Somehow it seems she struck a chord with Rod-sama, he’s completely amused .

“Kh… Lene… sensei”
“Your voice is quiet”
“That…!”
“Fufu… Claire, you can’t?”

Yuu-sama’s voice held back Claire-sama, who had grown visibly angry .

Yuu-sama’s voice held back Claire-sama, who had grown visibly angry .

“… Lene-sensei”
“Well done, Claire-sama . Please continue like this”
“You, I’ll remember it later…”

Claire-sama somehow swallowed various things she wanted to say .
Well, she absolutely plans to say these various things later, but Lene will have prepared for it .

“So, Lene-sensei, I wonder what we should keep in mind?”

Misha inquired .
Because of her high adaptability, or rather, because she’s not a person to fuss over social status, she doesn’t seem to particularly oppose calling her Lene-sensei .

“The frame of mind comes first . What do you think is the essence of the way of maid?”
“Wa, way of maid?”

For some reason Claire-sama raised her voice at Lene who started talking .

“That’s right . What I’ll teach you all is the way of maid”

Lene said so maintaining her soft smile, but her aura was somewhat different from usual .
Frankly, it’s somehow scary .

“Got it? The way of maid is very profound . Naturally, it’s impossible to master it in around a week”
“No, we do not intend to master the way of maid――”
“However!”

Lene interrupted Claire-sama in a loud voice .
As I thought, she’s scary .

“I want to impart the magnificence of devotion and subservience to all of you, representatives of n.o.bles and commoners . I am here for that single purpose”

I felt like I saw flames light up behind Lene .
That’s bad, an absolutely strange switch was flipped inside Lene .

“Right, devotion and subservience… This is the essence of the way of maid . I think everyone’s unfamiliar with them, but it’s an important idea that could even lead to the world peace”

She got pa.s.sionate about the topic .
Lene’s fervent speech continued like that for an hour .

She got pa.s.sionate about the topic .
Lene’s fervent speech continued like that for an hour .

“―― And so, I believe you should soon understand the basics of the way of maid”
“Yes, Lene-sensei”
“That’s a good response, Claire-sama . Then, let’s review . What is the essence of the way of maid?”
“Devotion and subservience, Lene-sensei”
“That’s right . Well done”
“Thank you, Lene-sensei”

Since a few minutes ago, there’s something strange about Claire-sama’s appearance .
Her mechanical, flat tone sounds like she was possessed by something .
Highlights disappeared from her eyes .

And that was not limited to Claire-sama―― .

“Then, Rod-sama . What does the way of maid start with?”
“Greetings, Lene-sensei”
“Good . Then, everyone, say it together”
“““““Welcome home, master”””””
“You are too quiet!”
“““““Welcome home, master!!!”””””
“That’s right . Everyone is beginning to understand little by little . Teacher is overjoyed”

Saying so, Lene smiled satisfied .
It’s strange .
When did she brainwash this venue .
It sounds just like a training for newcomers in dubious religious groups or black companies .

“Err, Lene?”
“It’s Lene-sensei”
“Lene-sensei, haven’t this gone in a somewhat odd direction?”
“That’s not true . I only want them to understand the splendor of the way of maid”
“I, I see…”
“Yes, Rei-chan too, raise your voice .  Welcome home, master?”
“We… welcome home, master”

No good .
Right now, this place is completely under Lene’s control .

No good .
Right now, this place is completely under Lene’s control .
Well, once everyone leaves, their sanity will return… It will return, right?

“The foundation of the way of maid is?”
“““““Devotion and subservience!!!”””””
“The proper greeting?”
“““““Welcome home, master!!!”””””

Somebody, help .

“… It was terrible”

After the brainwas.h.i.+ng way of maid training, the disheartened Claire-sama finally returned to her room .

“I’m sorry . Unintentionally, I got overzealous”

Although kindhearted smile showed on Lene’s face, Claire-sama subtly distanced herself .
She’s closer to me than to Lene, it’s never happened before .

“I have no energy to get angry… Lene, so you had such a side”
“Usually, I have no opportunity to display it”
“If possible, I do not want to see it ever again”

Saying so, Claire-sama flopped on her bed .

“You mustn’t, Claire-sama . You need to take a bath and change clothes”
“… I am tired”
“You mustn’t . Please get up”
“Muu…”
“Get up”
“Yes! Lene-sensei! … Ah”

Having reflexively responded, Claire-sama s.h.i.+vered from shame .

“… It’s an unexpected side effect”
“Rather, is it not an after effect!?”
