Black Summoner - Chapter 71
Chapter 71: Employee
“That’s a revolution in the culinary world! Claire, I can’t believe you had such a hidden gem!”
“Humm … I’ve lived for a long time, but it was my first experience with this kind of taste.”
Saying goodbye to the familiar Spirit Song, we headed to the new residence. Everyone was excited about the secret food that Claire taught Efil. No way, Claire knew curry recipes. It was a combination of curry and bread instead of rice, but of course, it was very delicious. Everyone seemed to like it.
“It’s said that the curry is also a dish of a different world. It’s said that they found a recipe from an old book before.”
“Well, did Kelvin know that?”
“I’m a cuisine lover.”
Despite being reincarnated from the present age, I have never cooked. I can’t recreate a recipe from inconsistent knowledge, even with the help of Efil. Trage’s Japanese food and Clare’s curry recipes, which I can meet in the middle of this, are comparable to treasures to me.
“Efil, let’s eat rice with curry. I’m sure it’s delicious.”
“I didn’t think about that. As expected of Master.”
Efil came with a glittering and pure gaze. Hey, if you had the recipes you could modify the recipes, like this one. If you had curry, the menu variations would increase considerably. If you added Efil’s cooking skills to it, you would be world-class.
Talking about that we arrived at the mansion, that was not far from the inn, very soon.
“I’m home.”
“Welcome back, master.”
“… what? That farce.”
I just wanted to try it.
By the way, we have arrived at the great hall, but now that we arrive at our home, there are some things that we need to do first. It is the room distribution. As explained at the time of purchase, this mansion has a total of 15 empty rooms on the first and second floors. Of course, not everyone will be a private room, but I would like to decide on the layout soon.
“I’m on the second floor on the right back!”
“Why do you stick to that room?”
“Because the corner room is sunny.”
Do demons care about the sun? And do you take the better one?
“I don’t have any particular wishes, master. Please make your choice.”
“Don’t be shy. There’re many rooms. Say whatever you want.”
“Um, then … It might be nice to be near the master’s room …”
Efil answers while blushing and averting his gaze. What a cute creature. Involuntarily, I patted her head.
“I see. Well then, I’ll have to decide on my room.”
“Yes, yes …”
The next time I looked there to hear Gerard’s wishes, he gave me the thumbs up. I ignored him.
“My liege, don’t ignore me!”
“I can’t hear you”
“I’m sorry!”
“Yes, so where do you want Gerard?”
“It’s good there.”
Gerard pointed to the room closest to the entrance.
“It’s not good enough. Are you sure you want to be there?”
“I don’t care if there’s a bed, and that room it’s close to the gate. You can respond instantly in an emergency.”
Oh, it’s a knight-like statement. At that time, I will rely on you.
“The last is Clotho.”
When asked, Clotho changed its shape with a twirl and dexterity pointed to the front door.
“Outside, huh? There’re a lot of rooms.”
Clotho shook its head (?).
“Master, Clo-chan, is a monster who originally lived outdoors. I think that the outside is more suited to the essence of Clo-chan than spending in a room?”
“Is that so?”
Clotho draws a circle with his body. Certainly, the garden of this mansion is large enough. You shouldn’t feel cramped. If it is Clotho, it knows what it’s doing and won’t do anything weird.
“Okay. You can use the garden freely. Can you tell me whenever you want a room?”
“Oh, Kelvin’s room hasn’t been decided yet.”
“Oh, my room is…”
“Sera, isn’t the main room in the house almost fixed? It’s the safest room.”
“Oh, the innermost room on the second floor? It was bigger than a normal room. My room is in front of you and it’s definitely safe!”
“Ga-ha-ha! Right?”
“Efil’s room is next to it!”
“Yes. Thank you, Master.”
Efil bowed deeply.
“Oh, oh. Please take care of me.”
I liked the room near the basement’s entrance, but I wouldn’t say it. Gerard gave the thumbs up again. Probably, under the helmet, his teeth shined making a good smile. Sara was also smiling.
“Is this the decision of the room allocation?”
“Oh, well, let’s unpack it. So, we’ll finish moving. Clotho, I asked you to move big things like furniture.”
“Clo-chan, go to the dining room”
Oh yeah. I had to ask the adventurer’s guild for servant recruitment. Well, I won’t be meeting them soon, so I follow Efil during that time. The salary of the employee … I don’t know the market price. Should I consult with Angie?
I was able to sleep soundly in a new bed while feeling the sense of accomplishment from the purchase of a new house and finishing all the unpacking in one day. I’ll go to the guild first thing in the morning tomorrow.

――― Perth Adventurer’s Guild / Reception Counter
“Huh? Is there already an application?”
It was midday, two days after I posted the recruitment on the guild. When Angie called me, I was told that there was an application.
“Yeah. Kelvin’s request was for two servants, wasn’t it? The recruitment quota was filled this morning. If Kelvin is good, you can meet them today, but what should I do?”
“I’m fine. Thank you for asking.”
“Okay. I’ll let them go to the house, so please go back and wait.”
“All right.”
Yes, I must tell Angie about the move.
“Angie. I like to invite you to my house next time, will you come at that time?”
“Huh, really!? I’ll go, I’ll definitely go! I’m looking forward to it!”
It would be a great meal. As expected from a friend.

――― Kelvin House, guest room
When I returned home, I arranged the guest room and set up an interview with Efil to decide if we hired a servant. After finishing the rough preparations, Efil waited on the front gate. Gerard is standing behind the couch where I sat. Since Sara was away, I sent her only a thought.
Well, don’t be nervous. After all, everybody hired someone for the first time in his life. Of course, being an interviewer was also my first experience. I hoped I could do it well … Well, I also had the courage skill. It would be something.
At that time, ‘Kon, kon’ the door was beaten.
“Master I brought her.”
“Oh, let her in.”
“I’m sorry.”
She was taken by Efil and a servant candidate entered the room. Oh, that? These people …
“Elie and Luca came to the employee’s interview.”
“Thank you for today.”
“Older brother, it’s been a long time! Thank you for today!”
The persons who came to recruit interviews were the mother and child who we rescued at the Black wind hideout.
