âWhy is she so quiet?â I asked as I handed my hat to the butler. âIâve met with Ange, but I have to go out again soon.â
âBefore that, shall I check on Cosette?â The butlerâs voice was hushed as he received the hat.
I have only told this butler about Cosette.
âYes, I went to check on her just now actually, but she didnât seem to be awake yet.â
Ignoring the butlerâs disapproving look, I headed for the room where Cosette was.
I didnât reveal Cosetteâs identity to the butler. I wouldnât want him to make a scene.
Maybe this is what it feels like to have someone waiting for you to return.
For some reason, it was a strange feeling that lifted my spirits.
The door to the room opens with a bang.
There is no particular difference from other rooms except that the key is hung in its lock.
Her skill of digging up bamboo shoots was surprising, but she is still only a girl.
There is no way she can escape from this room on the third floor of the mansion.
âHello, Miss Cosette. Itâs been a long time since we last saw each other. How are you doing?â
Cosette was sitting on the floor of the room, staring at us.
I realized that she was still dressed in her clothes from yesterday, and it occurred to me that Iâd neglected to prepare her dress. (Sighs)
What I did was quite rude to the lady.
But when I look at her now, she really is a beautiful girl.
Iâve heard that she used to be fat, but I canât believe it.
Her well-proportioned body looks fragile to the point of breaking, I wonder how she ever managed to dig up bamboo shoots like this.
I like smart women, and Iâm not a fan of those with good looks.
In that regard, this Cosette fits my ideals perfectly.
Particularly since a number of Signoraâs products are made from new ideas that I would never have thought of at all. It was a reminder that she was truly a genius.
Furthermore, just after entering the school, other students quickly began to shadow her, acting like her personal bodyguardsâ this was proof that she was a charismatic lady.
On the other hand, what is that woman, Ange, in comparison to her?
She claimed she was a reincarnation just like Cosette, so we asked her for development and business ideas. And yetâŠ
Even though she created something called âButler Cafeâ and claimed it would definitely be successful, the customers only visited when it opened, out of curiosity.
Sheâd interviewed several beautiful boys to serve at the cafe, but the only criterion for selection was their faces. Etiquette and manners were not factored in at all.
Besides, doesnât something as mundane as a butler becoming a boring concept quickly?
And when she said she could make a menu for Signora, I allowed her to try, but the result was something completely lacking depth of flavor.
Even if they are both reincarnated people, she was completely useless.
And itâs meaningless even if she blames her flaws on the game or the rules. Itâs easy to make excuses.
It wasnât long before I had to go out again. Time passed quickly while talking to Cosette.
There isnât much time before the coup will happen, so my schedule is fully packed.
I left Cosetteâs room feeling a sense of regret.
