Even Though the Gender Ratio Has Changed, My Attempts at Flirting With Women Are Unsuccessful - Chapter 6: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but I Want a Personal Maid

Chapter 6: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but I Want a Personal Maid

After finishing dinner, it was getting late at night.

I was thinking, leaning my elbows on the desk.

What was I thinking about?

Well, it was a serious worry.

“If I’m going to have a personal maid, she should be around my age, right?”

Yes, it was about a personal maid.

“There’s another thing… men have to have a servant.”

Tiana had said that too.

Since I always wanted a personal maid, this was a good chance.

By the way, during today’s training, Tiana was staring at me a lot.

Was there something she didn’t like?

I didn’t do anything, though.

But what bothered me was how Tiana said “men” specifically.

Do only men need a servant, not everyone who wants to enroll, regardless of gender? Why…?

I could think about that later.

For now, it was about the servant, or rather, the personal maid.

“I should probably prepare some money too.”

With that thought, I checked the money in the safe.

The bag was full of gold coins.

Mom gave me five gold coins a month as pocket money.

It was more than enough for a kid, but it was less than before.

I didn’t go out much… or rather, people around me didn’t let me go out.

If I tried to go out alone, all the maids in the mansion would come out to stop me.

Mom would probably hear about it right away too.

Since I didn’t go out, I could focus on self-training.

So, I didn’t spend much money.

Still, I had been saving up for something.

“There should be over a hundred gold coins. I’ll use them if I need to. And…”

I planned to make good use of my position as part of a duke’s family.

No reason to hold back with such a family background.

I had a mission to avoid ruin and have fun with girls!

But… I couldn’t decide what kind of girl to choose.

She’d almost definitely be my age.

Since I’d be going to the academy, it’d be convenient if the servant studied with me.

I also wanted her to be a friend I could talk to easily.

But the most important thing was what type of girl she’d be.

Of course, I’d choose a girl.

A gentle type would be nice, but a slightly strong-willed one wouldn’t be bad either.

Big boobs would be…

No, a slender type wasn’t bad either…

Ugh, if I got greedy, it’d never end.

“In times like this, I should rest my mind. Maybe take a bath?”

I quickly got my bath things ready.

Our bath, as expected of a duke’s house, was ridiculously big.

There were even three lion statues spouting hot water.

Someday, I’d fill that bath with cute girls… heh heh heh.

While walking down the hallway with that fantasy, I saw maids gathered ahead.

I instinctively hid behind something.

Well… I didn’t need to hide.

The person the maids were looking at was Mom.

But something felt…

“Welcome back, Madam. You’re home late today.”

“Yes… there was some complicated business.”

Mom always had a cheerful expression.

Her smile softened the atmosphere around her.

I was one of those affected.

But now, Mom’s face showed tiredness… and sadness.

Sensing this, the maids straightened up and waited quietly.

In that tense moment, Mom spoke.

“Tomorrow, I’m going to the orphanage. I’ll take some maids with me, so please select them.”

“““Understood”””

The maids bowed lightly at Mom’s words.

Hmm… come to think of it, I didn’t know much about what Mom did for work.

I knew she had an important role as part of a duke’s family, but the rest was vague.

I’d been too busy with my own stuff until now.

But now I had a bit more time.

It might be time to learn about things beyond myself.

Plus, this was a chance to go outside.

With my plans clear in my head, I walked toward Mom and the others.

“Mom, welcome back.”

“Ark! I’m home. Thanks for greeting me.”

Seeing me, Mom smiled.

But it wasn’t her usual energetic smile.

She must have had a tough day at work.

“Mom, sorry to bother you when you’re tired, but…”

“I know, dear.”

“Mom…”

She understood quickly, which helped…

“You want to take a bath with Mommy, right? I’ll undress right away.”

“You don’t need to undress!?”

That’s right. Mom always wanted to bathe with me.

No matter how beautiful Mom was, bathing with her was just too much!

I cleared my throat and made a serious face.

“Hey, Mom. I want to go to the orphanage tomorrow too.”

“Ark, you overheard, didn’t you? But…”

“I know. I’m not going to play. I want to see it with my own eyes.”

“Ark…”

At my words, Mom fell silent for a moment.

It wasn’t a refusal… she was thinking about something.

Then, slowly, Mom smiled.

“You’re ready for this opportunity now. Alright. Let’s go to the orphanage together tomorrow.”

“!! Thanks, Mom!”

Seeing my bright face, Mom’s smile deepened.
