Chapter 1090 - Tea Revolution ③
The way the conversation went, it seemed like she wanted to ask for a distribution on a somewhat regular basis, so telling her that even though I don’t know how Nebula will respond to her request, introducing her to Nebula wouldn’t be a problem.
And today, Ein-san and Nebula met at my home. Well, Nebula has a sociable and steadfast personality, and Ein-san is a calm and cool woman except when it comes to matters related to maids, so the introductions went without a hitch.
Nebula then decided to brew a pot of tea for us with her tea leaves in it, and as she brewed the tea with fluid movements despite her small physique, Ein-san looked surprised.
[……Wonderful. Her movements as she brews the tea, her technique, the taste of her brewed tea…… Everything is impeccably refined. She holds great talent, it definitely would be great if she- No, excuse me, I didn’t say anything?]
[Unnn? What were you saying just now?]
Somehow, in the flow of the conversation, I felt like she was about to start saying something about maids again…… It was unusual for Ein-san to stop in the middle of a maid-related conversation though, so I reflexively asked back.
Thereupon, after seemingly thinking about this for a moment, Ein-san explained.
[No, it’s just that…… I felt that the potential I saw in Nebula-sama was tremendous, and I felt that if she were to become a maid, she might eventually surpass me with her talent, so I was about to ask her if she would become one. However…… It seems that Nebula-sama herself isn’t suited to be a maid, which is quite unusual.]
[Not suited to be a maid? Why is that?]
Since she’s a very nice and thoughtful girl, and being skilled enough to be recognized by Illness-san and Ein-san, I thought Nebula would be suited for such a job instead……
[The reason is simple. She has the aura of “the one who is served” rather than “the one who serves”. Just like Kuromu-sama, she has the aura of a being who stands above others. On the contrary, those with such an aura are fatally unsuitable to become maids…… is how…… it should have been……]
[Unnn?]
Putting aside that aura and other such unintelligible matters, Ein-san seemed unusually hesitant to say something, or rather, it feels like she was somewhat bewildered.
[But for some reason, this situation of Nebula-sama serving Kaito-sama also feels right. It’s incredibly mysterious. The aura I feel and the situation doesn’t match, but somehow, this contradiction mysteriously feels right, so I’m a bit confused. This is the first time I’ve seen someone like her…… A person who seems suited to be a maid, but isn’t.]
[……I see, I understand what Ein-san meant. The answer to this is simple!]
I had no idea what Ein-san was talking about, but somehow, Nebula seemed to have understood her and even knew the answer to her doubts, as she confidently answered.
[That’s because, no matter what situation I am in, I am Absolute! It matters not what position I stand in, my presence matches every situation there is because my absoluteness never wavers!]
[I see, it’s more than just being someone who stands above others, it’s because you hold a definite position that never sways…… just like how maids are.]
……No, hey, you there. Why the heck are you connecting everything to maids……
At any rate, I would like you to stop putting our cute Nebula on the same level as the monsters called Maids.
[……Errr, I’m changing the subject, but didn’t Ein-san have something to discuss with Nebula?]
[That’s right, excuse me for digressing. I have something I would very much like to ask of you, Nebula-sama.]
[Yes, what is it?]
[I will pay for them at a good price. So please, won’t you continue to share that tea with us on a regular basis?]
[Yes. It’s alright.]
[Of course, I know it’s difficult to- Eh?]
With considerable enthusiasm…… A strong will could be seen in Ein-san’s eyes, as if she was prepared to negotiate how many times she was refused. In response to such an Ein-san, whose expression changed from her usually cool self to one of intense desire…… Nebula readily gave her approval.
Perhaps, not having expected her answer, Ein-san looked dazed.
[Let’s see. Would one can, the size of a regular tea can, every month be alright? You don’t really need to pay for it either, but would that bother Ein-san? As long as it is within your means, you can decide on the cost.]
[Eh? No…… Yes. I- If that is what you want, but would that be alright?]
[Of course! Being the Absolute that I am, I will not brush away a needing hand!!!]
[T- Thank you very much!]
Ein-san, whose request was fulfilled when Nebula willingly agreed, deeply bowed her head.
[……Errr, I’m not really sure it’s my place to say anything about this if Nebula’s fine with that, but are you sure about that? Won’t you be burdened about this?]
[There wouldn’t be any problem. The amount I make can be adjusted. I’ve originally adjusted the quantity I was making to be enough to what we consume at home, so it wasn’t really a hassle to increase the quantity.]
Nebula is a kind girl, so I had already thought she would have been considerate and agree to Ein-san’s request…… but it seems like there really wouldn’t be a problem.
Or rather, for her to have originally adjusted her tea plantation to be just the amount of tea that we consume at home, I don’t know if I should say that it’s to be expected of Nebula or not.
