ā» A notice before reading the Butler Story
This story contains spoilers for the āButlerās Hot Spring Vacationā event story. It is recommended to read up to Chapter 9 of the event story before proceeding.
Chapter 1 - Like a Summer CamelliaĀ
We, who visited the Eastern Land as goodwill ambassadors, received permission from Finlay-sama and were spending our holiday at an inn.Ā
āThe inn, currently in its soft opening, has several twin roomsā¦ We would very much like for the goodwill ambassador to use one of those rooms.āĀ
Having been entreated thus by the innkeeper, though bewildered, I decided to invite Lucas. Placed in the situation of sharing a twin room with his master, he was surprised at first, but he happily agreed, saying it was āto cooperate with the inn as an ambassador.āĀ
Around noonā¦ I moved to the twin room together with Lucas, carrying our luggage.Ā
Lucas: āOyaā¦ so this is the room weāll be staying in today. The four-person room was lovely as well, but this one is also splendidly appointed.āĀ
āItās spacious and comfortable.āĀ
Lucas: āYes, however, since we have the rare opportunity of being alone together, Master. Personally, I would have been quite happy with a slightly more snug little room āŖ
Donāt you think so too, Master?āĀ
ā...Actually, Iām a little relieved right now.āĀ
Lucas: āOh my, my? Fufu, how curious.
Well, no matter. Just because the room is spacious doesnāt mean we must keep our distance.
Let us spend a wonderful day together, just the two of us.āĀ
āYeah, I look forward to it.ā
(Will I be okayā¦?)Ā
Lucas, emphasizing the words ājust the two of usā, seems somehow more amused than usual.
Spending a whole day in the same room as Lucas, itās doubtful whether my heart will survive intact, butā¦ more than anything, I hope he enjoys this holiday and finds respite from his everyday fatigue.Ā
Lucas: āThe garden visible from the veranda is also well-tended, isnāt it?
After getting out of the bath, it might be nice to cool off here.āĀ
āThereās a breeze, too. It seems pleasant.āĀ
Lucas: āYes, Iām looking forward to it.
Oh my, what about that folding screen over thereā¦? Could it be that beyond it lies the hot spring?
I believe this inn had an open-air bath attached to every room, if I recall, and judging by the screenās position, itās fair to assume there is a space on the other side.āĀ
āIndeed, that seems likely.āĀ
Lucas: āFufu, shall we confirm it? It appears the bathing area connects from that room over there.Ā
I seeā¦ as I thought, beyond the folding screen there is indeed an open-air bath.
Even so, what a magnificent and lovely bath it is. I can hardly wait to get in.āĀ
āSince weāre here, why not try it now?āĀ
Lucas: āNow?
Hmmā¦āĀ
āYou should enjoy the hot spring to the fullest.āĀ
Lucas: āThank you. That is certainly a tempting idea as well.
Howeverā¦ I think Iāll refrain from entering just now.
I am sure that if I enter later, I will be able to spend an even more pleasant time.
You see, this hot spring seems to have a special feature meant to delight its guests.āĀ
āA featureā¦?āĀ
Lucas: āYes. Do you see the white flowers blooming on that tree over there?
That is called a summer camellia, and as its name suggests, it is a flower very much like a camellia that blooms in summer.
And the summer camellia has another characteristic besides its appearance, it is a one-day flower that blooms in the morning and falls, whole, by evening.
Surely, when evening comes, the summer camellias will drop into the bathwater and a refined fragrance will rise up.āĀ
āI seeā¦ Iām looking forward to that.āĀ
Lucas: āYes.
That is why I think I will refrain from bathing right now. Above all, it is not only the hot spring that I wish to savour fully.
This time I can spend with you, Master, is what I want to treasure most right now.āĀ
ā...I feel the same way.āĀ
Lucas: āFufu, is that so? I am glad that we share the same sentiment.Ā
Now then, shall we end our inspection of the room here and relax in the tatami room?āĀ
āYes, letās go.āĀ
I spend a leisurely time in the room with Lucas.
The sky visible beyond the garden is clear blue and sunny, the loud chirping of cicadas seems to proclaim the high temperature. Even indoors, the heat is unavoidable.
Lucas, who is not fond of perspirationāis he able to rest in this situation?Ā
(...Is there some way to cool downā¦ Right!)Ā
I tell Lucas to wait and leave the room.
In order to carry out my idea, I go and negotiate with the people at the inn.Ā
ā A few minutes later ā
Lucas: āPhewāāāā¦
I can feel the heat leaving my body from deep within. Itās cold and feels so goodā¦
Just when I wondered why you dashed out of the roomā¦ you return having procured buckets filled with water.
Fufu, as expected of Master. You always do the unexpected and surprise me.āĀ
āSorry for making you wait alone.āĀ
Lucas: āPlease donāt worry. I understand perfectly that you acted out of concern for me.
Thank you very much.āĀ
After leaving the room, I consulted with the inn staff to see if they could provide two buckets and some cold water. And then, thanks to the inn staff who kindly granted my wish, we have reached the present moment.Ā
If we line up buckets of water on the veranda and dip our feet inside, as expected, it is very cool and pleasant.Ā
Lucas: āHmm, howeverā¦
Could it be, Master, that you are holding back or showing some reserve towards me?āĀ
āHm? Reserve?āĀ
Lucas: āYes. Had you but commanded me, I would have prepared the things myselfā¦
Yet you acted on your own, instructed me to rest in the roomā¦
Therefore, I wondered if you might be excessively considerate of me.āĀ
āI justā¦ wanted you to rest, Lucas.āĀ
Lucas, who always appears composed, at heart, has a sensitivity just like anyone else. His body, too, properly feels fatigue, and can break down at times.
It is precisely because I know this, that I wanted him to take this opportunity to have a good rest, I told him.
Lucas: āYou care for me, that deeplyā¦
Fufuā¦ being worried over as āsensitiveā is something Iām not quite used to. Butā¦ I am very happy.
Allow me to thank you once more, for thinking of me. Thank you.āĀ
āItās only natural to care for a precious butler.āĀ
Lucas: āNatural, you sayā¦ Fufu, your existence, which says such things to me, is, for me, not something natural but a miracle in itself.
I must make it a point to convey that to you more often.āĀ
āFufu, youāre exaggerating, Lucas.āĀ
When I smileā¦ Lucas, also amused, returns a gentle smile.
A pleasant warmth, different from the summer heat, seems to slowly kindle a happiness in my heart.Ā
Lucas: ā...The cicadas are quite loud, arenāt they?
Hearing that sound, one truly feels itās summer.āĀ
āYes, it seems to make the heat feel even stronger.āĀ
Lucas: āFufu, indeedā¦ It's curious how human senses perceive a season more intensely through sound.
However, is it also a human trait that we cannot quite bring ourselves to hate that heat-bearing chorus? There is a somehow earnest, poignant resonance in their voices that makes me project my own feelings onto them.āĀ
ā...Project? What kind of feelings?āĀ
Lucas: āLet me seeā¦ The happiness of meeting someone precious, perhaps.
By crying out like that, the cicadas are desperately calling for the partner they are destined to meet.
Spending many long years beneath the earth, when they finally emerge above ground, they only have a mere two to three weeks to live there. In that short time, they find a partnerā¦ and then, their life comes to an end.
Thinking of that, one canāt help but wish to cheer on that loud chorus.āĀ
ā...Thatās rather sad, somehow.āĀ
Lucas: āYes.
When one thinks of how brief the time spent with a precious other is, it does feel somewhat hollow.
However, in my personal opinionā¦ a cicada can perhaps end its life in a state of happiness.
ā¦Is what I believe.āĀ
āEven though the time they can be together is short?āĀ
Lucas: āYes.
Even if it is but a moment of happiness, surely there is no regret in that heart.
I am much the same as the cicadas. Having passed through thousands of years, I was finally able to meet you, Master.
And the time I am able to spend with you is surelyā¦ something that could be called a mere instant within my lifetime.
However, this single instant is richer and happier than anything else. Even if it is short, this happiness will never waver.āĀ
When I think of Lucasās long life, the time with me must be but an instant.
The incessant chorus of the cicadas, somehow sounded brighter and more gentle now, just for this moment.Ā
Chapter 2Ā - Like a Summer CamelliaĀ
A little later, we enjoyed some watermelon that the innkeeper brought to us.
The well-chilled sweet watermelon was delicious, it felt as though I could eat as much as I pleased.
Lucas: āThat was delicious, wasnāt it?
I must thank the innkeeper again later.āĀ
āI ended up eating a bit too much, didnāt I?āĀ
Lucas: āYes, Iām quite full.āĀ
Saying thatā¦ Lucas flopped down onto the tatami floor.Ā
Lucas: āI know one shouldnāt lie down right after eating, butā¦ somehow I canāt resist this desire right now.
Fufuā¦ why is it that things one shouldnāt do are so terribly appealing?āĀ
āShall I become your accomplice?āĀ
Lucas: āOya?
You too, Master?āĀ
āPardon me, Iāll join you right here.āĀ
I flop down next to Lucas in the same manner.
The calming scent of the tatami fills my nose, and the tension drains from my body.Ā
Lucas: āEven though weāre on a special trip, here we are lazing about like this.
To an onlooker, they might say itās a waste.āĀ
āBut itās fine once in a while.āĀ
Lucas: āFufuā¦ I knew it, but you and I really do seem to get along well, Master.
To say itās a āwasteā... means we are spending our time in a truly luxurious way. Let us stay like this, just a little longerā¦ and bask in this pleasant moment.āĀ
āYes, an occasional luxury.āĀ
Lucas: āIndeed.
Having you all to myself like this, Master, is also an occasional luxury āŖ
That said, itās so pleasant Iām liable to fall asleep as it is.
To fall asleep without fully savouring this time, that would be far too wasteful a luxury indeed.āĀ
āItās okay if you fall asleep.āĀ
If Lucas can rest, I want him to spend the time however he wishes.
If he calls this time with me a luxury, then even while he sleepsā¦ I wonāt leave his side; Iāll stay with him like this.
Perhaps itās the comfort that has loosened my emotions, my thoughts slip out just as they come.Ā
Lucas: ā...āWonāt leave your side, will stay with you like this,ā is it?
Fufu, thank you, Master.
ā¦Today truly is a luxurious dayā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.āĀ
(Itās gotten quietā¦ did he fall asleep?)Ā
I turn my face toward Lucas to check
ā¦And I meet his eyes, gazing steadily at me.Ā
Lucas: āFufuā¦āĀ
āUmā¦ arenāt you going to sleep?āĀ
Lucas: āI am trying, but the cicadas are rather noisy. It seems it will take just a little longer before I drift off.āĀ
ā...You wonāt fall asleep unless you close your eyes, you know?āĀ
Lucas: āHmm, butā¦ I feel more at ease this way. Because I can truly sense that someone precious to me is right here.
Until I fall asleepā¦ā¦ will you stay by my side?āĀ
Along with a sense of āhe got me,ā... a ticklish feeling wells up.
I nod softlyā¦ and I too let Lucasās figure be reflected in my eyes.
A while later, the evening sun illuminates our surroundings, and we decide to take a bath.
I am allowed to enjoy the bath first, and now Iām cooling off on the veranda, waiting for Lucas to finish.Ā
Lucas: ā......sterā¦ā¦ Master.āĀ
(Lucasā¦? From beyond the folding screenā¦)Ā
Lucas: āMaster, are you there?āĀ
āYes, Iām here. What is it?āĀ
Lucas: āNo, nothing in particularā¦ I simply wanted to confirm that my voice could reach you.
Fufu, forgive me for suddenly calling out to you.āĀ
From beyond the folding screen of the open-air bath, Lucasās voice resounds.
Though we were right beside each other just moments ago, hearing his voice like this puts me somehow at ease.Ā
Lucas: ā...Master. May I talk a little longer, like this?
Being alone, I feel somewhat lonely.āĀ
āOf course, as long as you donāt get dizzy from the heat.ā
Lucas: āFufu, understood.
Thank you.
ā¦This hot spring truly does feel good. Perhaps itās the effect of the waters, but I feel as though Iām growing younger.āĀ
ā āgrowing youngerā... arenāt you ageless?āĀ
Lucas: āAh, so I am.
Fufu, what a strange thing to say. It seems Iāve let my guard down entirely.
Were you able to relax thoroughly in the hot spring as well, Master?āĀ
āYes, it felt lovely.āĀ
Lucas: āIām glad. The heat does sap oneās strength, after all.
Iām relieved to know you were properly soother.
Ah, yesā¦ did you take a liking to the summer camellias?
When you were bathing tooā¦ I believe some summer camellias had fallen into the water.āĀ
āThey were beautiful, and the fragrance was lovely too.āĀ
Lucas: āFufu, nothing could please me more than knowing you were satisfied.
Oh, that reminds me, Master, do you know the flower language of the summer camellia?
There are several, but they areā¦
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦āĀ
(...The flower meanings of the summer camelia are āfleeting beautyā and ālovely person.ā)
(This time I can spend with you is, to me, but an instantā¦ And at the same time, it could also be called an entire lifetime.)
(So much so that I find myself thinkingā¦ I was born to meet you.)
(Myā¦ very precious, lovely person.)
(This fleeting time, which seems as though it might slip away in the span of a blinkā¦)
(I pray, let it continue just a little longer.)Ā
As we talked, Lucasās voice suddenly fell silent.
Did something happen on the other side of the screenā¦?
āLucas? Are you alright?āĀ
Lucas: ā...Oh, my apologies for worrying you.
Iām fine, I just felt a little light-headed from the bath.
Iāll be out shortly. Will you wait for me there?āĀ
For someone who says he felt light-headed from the bathā¦ Lucasās voice carries a sweet, somehow happy resonance.
When I naturally answer āof courseā... from beyond the screen, I hear the sound of him slowly getting out of the hot spring.
Being in the same place as Lucas, spending the same time togetherā¦ at that fact, my heart too overflows with a sweet happiness.Ā

To Be More Selfish
Episode 1
As the goodwill ambassadors, we visited the eastern landsā¦
and with permission from Lord Finlay, were spending our vacation at an inn.
āThe inn thatās currently in its soft opening phase has several double roomsā¦
We'd be delighted if the Goodwill Ambassador would use one of those rooms.ā
The innkeeper made that request of me... Though I was a little hesitant, I decided to invite Beren.
The situation of spending time together in a shared room with his master...
At first, he was surprised, but...
He happily agreed, saying āItās so I can help with the inn as an ambassador.ā
- One afternoon -
Beren: Arujisamaā¦
Iāll leave the luggage here.
Aruji: Thank you, Beren.
Beren: Heheā¦
Anyway, this room has a nice view.
The wind coming through the window is also pleasant.
Even though itās summer, it feels quite cool.
Aruji: Iām glad we got to stay in a nice room.
Beren: Yeahā¦
And, Iām with arujisama.
I feel happy, and at the same timeā¦
I feel a bit of responsibility.
Aruji: Responsibility?
Beren: Yeahā¦
Because I want arujisama to have the best vacation possible.
For that reason, I need to pull myself together, since Iām the one by your side.
Aruji: You donāt have to push yourself.
Beren: Hehe, sorry, sorry.
Itās not like Iām nervous or anything.
Iām so excited that I might be getting a little nervous. Do know that feeling?
It may not be the same as the night before a school trip... but I feel like I understand that feeling of excitement when you step into your inn room.
Hearing Beren was looking forward to it, made me feel happy too.
Aruji: Iām looking forward to it too.
Beren: Thatās good.
So then, what should we do now?
Since we've come all the way to a place I've never been beforeā¦
I'd like to explore all kinds of places together with arujisama.
Aruji: Well then, shall we go out?
Beren: Thatās rightā¦
Actually, I heard from the innkeeper that thereās a shrine nearby.
It seems like a really wonderful place, but...
Apparently, there are hardly any tourists there right now.
That won't be the case once the inn officially opens, though.
Aruji: So itās like is a hidden gem around here.
Beren: Yeah.
Letās go there first.
Following Berenās lead, we made our way through the forestā¦
We eventually came to a path paved with cobblestones.
As the man-made surroundings came into sight... the clang of metal, an unnatural sound in the wilderness, echoed in our ears.
*ringā¦ringā¦*
Aruji: This soundā¦
Beren: Ahā¦
Look at that, arujisama.
Itās wind chimes...
And there lots of them.
I see...
They're hanging wind chimes in a row on the wisteria trellis.
Wow...
There seem to be well over 100 of these.
The sound of the wind chimes itself could be heard clearly from the first floor of the villa, though...
With this many of them, it's quite a sight.
Not only are they overhead, the wind chimes are hanging on both sides as wellā¦
It feels like a tunnel of wind chimes.
Colorful strips of paper flutter in the windā¦
Along with them, a refreshing melody fills the air.
The scenery looks just like itās a pathway for the wind.
Beren: Oh, thereās a sign up front.
Letās seeā¦
It says, āIt is said that wind chimes have the power to ward off evil spiritsāā¦
I seeā¦
The sound of wind chimes really does make you feel as if your heart has been cleansedā¦
If you walk through this tunnel of wind chimes, it feels like your heart would be cleansed as well.
Well then, arujisama.
Shall we have our evil spirits cleansed away too?
Aruji: Yeah.
Feeling the wind with our eyes, ears, and skin...
We walked side by side through a tunnel of wind chimes.
In that momentā¦
I felt as if my body had became a little lighter.
Beren: Heheā¦
Somehow, it really feels like all the evil spirits have been cleansed away.
Aruji: Me too.
Beren: Iām glad.
That itself makes coming here worth it.
If it helps to reduce any misfortunes that might befall arujisamaā¦
Iāll rely on anything and everything that I can.
Because there are limits to what I can do on my own.
Aruji: Thatās not true.
Beren: Oh, sorry.
That was a rather awkward way of putting it, wasn't it?
Butā¦
I want arujisama to be happier than they are now.
I want to keep arujisama away from any danger or malice.
I'll do anything to achieve that.
All the butlers, and of course me tooā¦
We love to see arujisamaās cheerful smile.
Aruji: Thank you, Beren.
Beren: Heheā¦
If anything, I should be the one to thank you.
Because arujisama is here, we can spend a happy and peaceful time like this.
You believed in us...
And you cared about us...
That's exactly why I want to protect you with my life.
Because in this world, arujisama is the only person who makes me feel that way.
Oopsā¦
Before I knew it, I ended up getting carried away.
Well thenā¦
Since we came all the way to the shrineā¦
Shall we stop by the shrine and make a wish?
We should think of a wish to make too.
Aruji: Okay, letās go.
I headed to the shrine with Beren.
With the sound of the wind chimes on my backā¦
I wished for Berenās happiness to the gods of the shrine.
ļ½„āāā½āāąØą§āāā½āāļ½„
Episode 2
[In front of the shrine]
Beren:ā¦
Aruji:ā¦
After ringing the bell, I finished silently making my wish...
Beren didnāt stop praying for a quite some time.
I wonder what kind of wish he was making...
I continued to clasp my hands together, glancing at him out of the corner of my eye.
Beren:ā¦
Thank you for waiting, arujisama.
Heheā¦
I hope that both our wishes come true.
Aruji: What kind of wish did Beren make?
Beren: Me?
Well Iā¦
Hmmmā¦.
I think Iāll keep it a secret for now.
āIf you tell someone your wish, it wonāt come true,ā I have heard something like that recently.
āItās not because Iām too embarrassed to tell arujisamaā¦ā itās not like that, you know?
Aruji: If you put it that way, Iām getting curiousā¦
Beren: Sorry, sorry.
I guess Iāve made you anxious.
Now then, arujisama.
Letās clear our heads and take a stroll around here.
We walked around the shrine grounds together, enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.
Eventually, after going around the areaā¦
We returned to the place where the wind chimes were at.
Beren: Huhā¦?
I didnāt notice it when we were here earlier butā¦
The wind chimes here...
Apparently, visitors are free to hang them up too.
It looks like you can buy wind chimes at the stalls up here.
Since we're here, why don't we give it a try?
Aruji: In that case, letās do it together.
Beren: Okayā¦
It will be a good memory of the trip.
Well thenā¦
Shall we hang it around here?
We bought two wind chimes and hung them side by side on the wisteria trellis.
Listening to the refreshing sound of wind chimes carried on the breeze...
My heart was filled with a brighter, more peaceful feeling than when I first arrived.
- After a while -
When we returned to our inn, we decided to take turns soaking in the hot springs to wash away our sweat.
Having taken my bath first, while Beren was bathing...
I asked the innkeeper to prepare two bottles of milk for me.
The bottled milk, which had apparently been chilled in the spring water...
...was ice-cold, as if it had been kept in a refrigerator.
Beren: Phewā¦
That was a nice bath.
Aruji: Welcome back, thereās some cold milk for you.
Beren: Hm? ā¦Milk?
Thank you.
You went to the trouble of preparing it.
But...
This kind of thing tastes more delicious after a bath, right?
You could have drank ahead without waiting for me.
Aruji: I want to drink it with Beren.
Beren: Heheā¦
Thank you.
ā¦Actually, I feel the same way.
I'm sure milk tastes great after a bath, but...
It would taste even better if I drank it with arujisama.
Well thenā¦
Thank you for the meal.
Aruji: Thank you for the meal.Ā
Beren: Phewā¦
This is definitely delicious.
To be able to share this deliciousness with arujisamaā¦
Iām really happy.
Aruji: Me too.
Beren: Heheā¦
Arujisama is reallyā¦
To think you'd give me such a luxurious time...
Aren't you spoiling me a little too much?
If you youāre too nice to meā¦
I, might start taking advantage of it.
I want you to do this more and more...
I might just be honest with my own desires, you know?
Aruji: Berenās desiresā¦?
Beren: Thatās right.
I also have my own wishes and desires.
As arujisamaās butler, I always behave well, but...
ā¦There are plenty of butlers around me who aren't very butler-like.
Even after becoming a butler, these men remain their true to themselvesā¦
Seeing them like that...
I might end up wanting to compete with them too.
Aruji: [U-uhhhā¦]
[Thatā¦]
Beren: Oh dearā¦.
Even though the wind chimes have warded off the evil spiritsā¦
It seems my selfish thoughts wonāt go away at all.
This is allā¦
itās arujisamaās fault, isnāt it?
Hmmmā¦
I wonder how I should make them take responsibilityā¦
Aruji: B-berenā¦?
Beren: Heheā¦
Just kidding.
Sorry, sorry.
As expected, I might have gotten carried away.
I was just so happy...
Looks like it all went to my head for a bit.
I should cool myself off with some cold milk.
ā¦Phew.
Delicious.
As Beren drank his milk, I also brought my glass bottle to my lips.
After calming down myself downā¦
I turned myself to face Beren again.
Aruji: Itās okay for you to be more selfish.
Beren:ā¦Arujisamaā¦
Good grief...
You really are too kind, arujisama.
That's how you spoil me to the very end.
If youāre so kind to meā¦
I have to spoil arujisama even more than that.
Ah, could it beā¦
Was that arujisamaās wish?
Aruji: T-thatās not what I meanā¦
Beren: Heheā¦
Either way, itās my decision that Iām going to spoil arujisama.
I hope youāre ready.
ā¦Since there is only the two of us, I wonāt be able to hold myself back.
Aruji: Iām getting a little excited.
Beren: Really?
ā¦Actually, me too.
Because arujisama said, āItās okay to be more selfishāā¦
Since you said soā¦
I ended up letting loose even more than I usually do.
I guess when going on a trip, you canāt help but get excited and get carried away.
Aruji: Iām glad that Beren is having fun.
Beren: Heheā¦
Say, arujisama.
Since Iām being selfish anywayā¦
Can I ask for one more thing?
Aruji: What?
Beren: ā¦From now onā¦
I want you to stay by my sude.
Because my wishā¦
Is for arujisama to be happy.
So from now on, by my sideā¦
I want to fulfill arujisamaās wish with my own hands.
ā¦Actuallyā¦
That was the wish I made at the shrine.
Aruji:ā¦Didnāt you want to keep your wish a secret?
Beren: No, itās fine.
Itās not a secret anymore.
This isnāt so much as a wishā¦
Because itās my āvowā.
In the future, no matter what happensā¦
I want to be able to protect and support arujisama at their side.
From anything bad that may happenā¦
I will protect arujisama.
This wish isn't something someone else should grant for me...
It's something I should fulfill myself.
Aruji: Berenā¦
Beren: Heheā¦
I guess I really am getting carried away.
Butā¦
I might want to bask in this heat a little longer.
Each time I gripped the cold glass bottle, the warmth in my palms gradually drains away.
Even so, the heat thatās warmed me to the very coreā¦ doesnāt look like itāll go away anytime soon.
As we savored the comforting lingering warmth after our bath, we sipped our milk...
Almost as if cherishing this peaceful moment, we slowly drank in the happiness we shared.

(Black Fade)
This inn is currently in its soft opening phase, and we have several double rooms availableā¦ I would very much like the diplomatic envoys to use one of those rooms.
At the innkeeperās requestā¦ though I was a bit hesitant, I decided to invite Crowther.
Crowther : ā¦So? You chose me to share a double room with, huh?
- One Afternoon -
(Black Fade)
Crowther : Oyaā¦ Iām actually impressed that youāre this wide open.
Youā¦ If things went wrong, youād probably walk right into a cage full of wild beasts without a second thought, wouldnāt you?
Aruji : Itās a good chance to get to know each other better.
Crowther : I see. You want to get to know me better, huh?
Iām a mafia boss and your butler at the same timeā¦ Is that not enough of an explanation?
Aruji : No, I mean your inner self.
Crowther : Hmphā¦ I feel like if you just watch what a person does, their inner self becomes clear on its own.
Well, fine. If itās what my goshujin-sama wishes, Iāll go along with it as much as you like.
After all, I am your butler. So, what do you want to do?
Aruji : What do you want to do, Crowtherr?
Crowther : Itās a bit of a hassle when you answer a question with a question. My job is to fulfill your wishes.
Aruji : But Iām on vacation right now.
Crowther : ā¦Hmm. Come to think of it, that was your wish, wasnāt it?
To forget about our usual work and enjoy our respective vacationsā¦ is that it?
Crowther : In that case, Iām in the mood for a walk.
And preferably somewhere where there arenāt many people.
Aruji : Somewhere with no peopleā¦?
Crowther : Yeah. There are plenty of places like that around here, arenāt there?
For now, Iād like to take a stroll through nature.
Aruji : ā¦Okay, letās do that.
We leave our belongings in the room and head out for a walk in the forest.
The sound of cicadas: Wing-wing-wing-wingā¦ā¦
Jizz-jizz-jizz-liri-liri-liriā¦
[Nearby Forest]
(Black Fade)
Crowther : ā¦Summer in the Eastern Lands is always so lively, isnāt it?
Back when I first heard cicadasā¦ I thought they were birds singing.
I knew such insects existed, of course. But I didnāt think theyād be this loud.
Aruji : Did you used to dislike noisy places?
Crowther : Well, back with my family, there are plenty of loud, rowdy types.
Iām used to spending time in noisy places. Though I do like quiet places, too.
Aruji : I seeā¦
When Crowther said, āI want to go somewhere where thereās no one aroundāā¦ those words somehow stuck with me.,
Maybe Crowtherā¦ hasnāt quite gotten used to living with the other butlers yet.,
If thatās the case, I hope heāll get to know everyone better during this vacation.,
While hoping for thatā¦ I also wanted him to spend some time where he could truly relax.
Aruji : ā¦Do you want some time alone?
Crowther : Hmm? Time aloneā¦?
Hmphā¦ I see. I was wondering what youād been deep in thought about all this time.
Could it be that youā¦ thought I looked tired?
Aruji : But you said youād prefer a place where no one else is around.
Crowther : Oh, come on. It seems youāve got the wrong idea.
I said, I want a place where no one goes. I meant somewhere other than a tourist spot.
Crowther : With this many tattoos, Iām bound to stand out.
If Iām to respect your wish for a vacationā¦ thereās no need to go out of our way to a place thatās bound to draw attention.
It wouldnāt be surprising if we got caught up in some trouble.
Crowther : Thoughā¦ if thatās what you want, Iād be happy to stir up a little trouble.
Aruji : ā¦I guess I was just overthinking it.
Crowther : Thatās right. If I really wanted to be alone, I wouldnāt have come for a walk with you in the first place.
Or do you thinkā¦ that Iād put up with something I donāt want to do just for your sake?
Hmphā¦ Thatās really hurtful.
Aruji : No, Iām sorry?
Crowther : ā¦Fu, That was the kind of moment where youād normally scold a butler for being rude.
As always, youāre too considerate of your own butler. At this rate, I canāt tell who the true master is
Ā ā¦Well, never mind. Thereās no point in arguing about our roles when no one else is watching.
Crowther : Besides, thereās probably no one here who cares about us anyway. Just like that cicadas.

Iāll put your change of clothes over here for you.
Aruji : Thank you, Muu.
Muu : Heheā¦
Thank you, too. Iām so happy to be staying in the same room as you!
The plan was originally for me to stay in this double room by myself...
But I felt it might be a little lonely spending time all by myself...
So I asked Muu to come along.
Aruji : Itās more relaxing with Muu around.
Muu: Leave it to me! Iāll make sure to pamper you plenty, Aruji-sama. ...
Oh? It looks like someoneās here.
Middle-aged man : ā¦ā¦Haaā¦ā¦ ā¦ā¦Haaā¦ā¦
E-excuse meā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
I amā¦ the owner of this innā¦
Muu : Meowā¦? (ā¦He seems to be breathing really heavilyā¦)
Aruji : Are you feeling unwellā¦?
Owner Inn : N-noā¦
ā¦I never expected to have to undergo body searches by nearly 20 peopleā¦
Anywayā¦
Thank you so much for coming, Ambassador of Goodwill. It is the greatest honor for me to welcome you all.
Please make yourselves at home during your stay.
By the way, your entourage is staying in a four-person room, butā¦
Iād also highly recommend the other two-person rooms.
The view from the veranda and other details give each room a slightly different charm.
If youād like, we can switch your room at any timeā¦
Please invite others to join youāyou absolutely, absolutely must!
Please do try the other double rooms as wellā¦
If you, Your Grace, were to stay here! It would be the best advertisement imaginable!
Aruji : Iāllā¦ think about itā¦
Muu : Meowā¦ (Heās really pushing those double rooms hard, isnāt heā¦?)
Owner Inn : ā¦Huh...
My apologies, I justā¦ After all, weāre about to openā¦
Iām feeling a bit anxious about all sorts of things.
If those rumors cause guests to stop comingā¦
Aruji : ā¦Those rumorsā¦?
Owner Inn : Huhā¦? Oh, darnā¦!
He must be really exhausted.
It seems he didnāt even realize what heād let slip until I pointed it out.
Perhaps he thought that if he tried to brush it off now, it would make me think even worse of himā¦
On the condition that I keep it to myself, the Owner Inn told me about the rumor.
Owner Inn : Actually, at this inn...
For the past few days, thereās been a rumor that a āghostā appears here...
Aruji : A ghost...?
Owner Inn : Y-yes...
At first, I thought, āWhat nonsense,ā but...
But several employees said theyād āseen a ghostā and were so scared they quit.
ā¦Bad news spreads fast.
The only way to drown it out is to overwrite it with good reviewsā¦
ā¦Thatās why! The fate of this inn hinges on the next five days!
If word gets out that Your Grace was satisfiedā¦
Business will surely boom, and weāll have a constant stream of guests!
Aruji : I-I seeā¦
Itās true that I was startled when I heard āthereās a ghost,ā butā¦
Rumors are just rumors, after allā¦
Itās not as if itās been confirmed that there really is a ghost.
Above all, I donāt want to ruin the Muud of the butlers, who are finally trying to enjoy their vacationā¦
I donāt want to spoil it with creepy rumors.
To protect their vacationā¦
Iāve decided to keep everything I just heard to myself.
Aruji : ā¦I wonāt tell anyone about this.
Owner Inn : Ohā¦!
Thank you, Your Grace! Thatās right! Rumors arenāt to be trusted, after all!
For example, there was a rumor that āYour Graceās cat can talkāā¦
But now that Iāve actually met youā¦
Muu : Oh, you knew? Oh, I see.
Owner Inn : Gyaah!? The cat spoke!
Muu : ā¦ā¦ā¦
ā¦Please donāt be surprised. you already knew, after allā¦
Anywayā¦
I promised the Owner Inn Ā that I wouldnāt tell anyone about the ghostā¦
So as not to cause the other butlers any unnecessary worryā¦
I also made sure to strictly warn Muu not to say a word.
Muu : Understood. I absolutely wonāt say a word!
Heheā¦.
Somehow, this reminds me of the Fugayama Summer Festival. Back then, so that you could enjoy the festival with peace of mindā¦
All the butlers went out of their way to look after you, didnāt they?
Aruji : This time, weāre returning the favor.
Muu : Yes! Letās do our best together, Aruji-sama.
After settling things in the room, Iā¦ decided to take a walk outside by myself.
I invited Muu too, butā¦
Apparently, he said, āIf I run into someone else, Iāll probably blurt out the secret right away.ā
As I walked through the lush natural surroundings, under the shade of the trees,
I heard someone talking.
Aruji : Thatāsā¦
Bellen : ā¦So, listen.
Letās go to the sauna together, Shiro.
Youāll see what the sauna in the Eastern Lands is likeā¦ You must be curious too, right, Shiro?
Shiro : I have other places to go. If you want to go, just go by yourselves.
Crowther : Hmph...
As always, you two never learn, do you?
Shiro, who turns us down no matter how many times we ask...
And Bellen, who keeps asking no matter how many times he gets turned down.
Aruji : Good afternoon, everyone.
Bellen : Ah, Aruji-sama.
Hello. Hehe. That yukata really suits you.
Aruji : You all look great, too.
Crowther : Well, I suppose.
But none of us can pull it off as naturally as you do.
Hmphā¦ Somehow, I feel like Iāve seen a whole new side of you.
Shiro : Oi,Youā¦
Why are you wandering around outside all by yourself?
Aruji : Huh?
Shiro : ā¦This is a foreign land. You never know whatās lurking where.
To go out alone like thatā¦ Thatās just too careless.
Crowther : Hey, hey, Shiroā¦ Thatās a bit too overprotective, donāt you think?
There are 19 demon butlers around hereā¦ If danger approaches from outside, weāll know right away.
Bellen : Thatās true. You could say itās just like walking in the gardens of Devilās Palace.
Or is Shiroā¦ telling our Aruji-sama not to step outside at all?
Shiro : ā¦Iām saying you should have someone accompany you when you go out.
ā¦You could just wait quietly in your roomā¦
Bellen : Oh, I see. Shiro was planning to come all the way to the Aruji-samaās room to pick him up. Seriouslyā¦
If thatās the case, he shouldāve invited us along too.
Crowther : Heh heh...
Is that the āI want to have Aruji-sama all to myselfā kind of thing?
Shiroās surprisingly sharp, isnāt he?
Maybe I should take a lesson from him?
Shiro : ...What a noisy bunch.
...Oi, Where are you planning to go from here?
Aruji : I havenāt really decided yetā¦
Crowther : I see. Well then, how about joining me for a sauna? I hear they even lend out sauna robes. They say people with tattoos are more than welcome, too.
Bellen : Yeah.
I was actually planning on going in with Shiro and Crowtherāthe three of us together.
Aruji : I might be a little interested.
Bellen : Hehe.
Well then, letās all four of us give it a try together.
Shiro : ā¦Hey, donāt grab my sash. Let go.
Bellen : Come on, Shiro.
As long as weāre right here, youāll be safe, wonāt you?
My butlers and I were visiting the Eastern Lands as āGoodwill Ambassadors.ā
After concluding our meetings with the feudal lords and successfully fulfilling our duties, weā¦
were granted permission by Finlay-sama to take a short vacationā¦ and so we came to this hot spring inn.
Berrien : Soā¦
This is the hot spring inn where weāll be staying this time, āKarin.ā
Aruji : Itās a beautiful place.
Muu : Yes!
It looks like a really fancy inn! ā¦Btwā¦ How much does it cost per night for a catā¦?
Lucas : Hehe, donāt worry. Since weāre guests of honor, we donāt have to pay for lodging or meals.
Muu : Whoa~, itās free! Well then, the more I eat, the better the deal!
Bastien : ā¦I see. Thatās true.
Lono : Donāt just say āthatās true.ā Keep up your dignity as a goodwill ambassador, okay?
Bastien : ā¦ā¦ I know.
Btw, Berrien-san. How many nights are you planning to stay at this inn?
Berrien :Ā For now, Iām planning on four nights and five days.
Though I have received permission from Finlay-sama to āextend my stay if necessary.ā
Aruji : (Four nights and five days, huhā¦)
Since weāve come all the way to a hot spring innā¦
I want all the butlers, who always work so hard, to have a chance to relax and recover from their daily fatigue.
If possible, Iād like to stay a little longerā¦
I want to give everyone a enjoy time.
But if I were to say, āIād like to stay longerā right hereā¦
As a goodwill ambassador, would that be a bit presumptuous?
Lucas : ā¦Aruji-sama? Is something wrong?
Aruji : N-no, itās nothing.
Yuuhan : Speaking of whichā¦
This is a really beautiful building, isnāt it?
Teddy : It even smells like new tatami mats. Could it be a brand-new building?
Lucas : Yeah. Actually, this hot spring inn hasnāt officially opened yet.
They asked us to stay here before they start full-scale operationsā¦
Nac : A āpre-opening,ā so to speak.
I suppose they want to invite guests before opening to identify areas for improvement.
Lono :ā¦ā¦A soft opening, huhā¦
Well, I guess soā¦ If it's billed as āthe inn where the goodwill ambassador stayed,ā it might give it some prestige.
Flure :Ā Butā¦ Itās not that big of a building, is it?
There are nearly 20 of us, will there be enough room for everyone?
Fennesz Ā : Hehe.
Donāt worry about that, Fleur. This isnāt the only hot spring innā¦
There are several ādetached cottagesā nearby.
Haures : Oh, right.
There are detached cottages for two or four people scattered all over the place...
Apparently, this entire rural mountain area functions as a single hot spring inn.
Ammon : Plus, every room comes with its own open-air bath.
I hear the main selling point is that you can relax without worrying about what others think.
Hanamaru : I see.
In older hot spring inns, there used to be other guests right on the other side of the sliding doors. But if the private rooms are separated from each other...
It sounds like we can make as much noise as we want without worrying about disturbing anyone nearby.
Yuuhan : We shouldnāt get too rowdy, though...
It does seem like a place where we can relax in a calm atmosphere.
Teddy : Hmm...
I do like going to the communal bath with everyone, though.
Lamli : HeheāŖ
In that case, why donāt you pop into the bath in another room, kuma-san?
Teddy : Ah, I get it!
As expected of Lamli-kunāyouāre a genius!
Boschi : That Teddy guy is totally eager to go hang out in the other rooms.
Bellen : Alright then, about the room assignmentsā¦ Is it okay if we split up by floor?
Miyaji : Yeah.
First, letās decide where aruji-samaās room will beā¦ Then weāll book accommodations surrounding it.
Crowther : I see.
That way, our security will be airtight.
So even on vacation, we canāt let our guard down, huh?
Lato : Yes.
After all, there have been people targeting our aruji-sama during festivals before.
Whether itās a festival or a hot spring trip, I want aruji-sama to be able to rest with peace of mind.
Aruji : That did happen, didnāt itā¦
Last time, when I visited the Eastern Lands as a goodwill ambassador,
behind the scenes of that fun festival, all the butlers were working hard in various ways.
Thatās exactly why, on this tripā¦
I want them to be able to relax and enjoy themselves to their heartās content.
Nac : Heheā¦
Please rest assured, Aruji-sama. Compared to the last time you came as a goodwill ambassadorā¦
The Eastern Lands have become much more stable.
So on this trip, I promise youāabsolutely nothing will happen to make you feel uneasy!
Lamli : ā¦When Nack says that, it actually makes me worry even more, you know~.
Nac : How rude. As long as Iām here, thereās absolutely nothing to worry about.
Shiro : ā¦Hey.
We still havenāt decided on the most important thing. While weāre staying at the innā¦
Whoās going to take care of this guyās personal needs?
Aruji : Take care of my personal needsā¦?
Lucas : That, of course, will be me. Iād love to say thatā¦ butā¦ I donāt think everyone would be okay with that.
Berrien : If we follow the usual patternā¦
Each room will take turns spending time with aruji-sama.
Everyone. Is that all right with you this time as well?
As Berrien Ā looked around, the others silently nodded in agreement. I was happy to see how everyone feltā¦
But deep down, a different thought was forming in my mind.
Aruji : ā¦Can I ask you something?
Berrien : Oh?
What is it, aruji-sama?
At a hot spring inn, the staff will take care of our daily needs.
So, at least while weāre staying hereā¦
I want all of you butlers to forget about your usual duties for a while.
I want everyone to fully enjoy this rare vacationā¦ I honestly conveyed those feelings.
Berrien : Aruji-sama ā¦
Thank you. Weāre so touched that youād go out of your way like this for us.
But please, aruji-sama, donāt worry about it. Spending time with you isnāt just a job for usā¦
Hanamaru : Come now, Berrien .
Letās just accept aruji-samaās kindness for once.
Iām guessingā¦
If we donāt rest together, aruji-sama wonāt be able to relax, right?
It feels awkward to make everyone else work while youāre the only one taking a break.
I understand that feeling all too well.
Yuuhan : ā¦ā¦There are many things Iād like to say, butā¦ā¦
Hanamaru-san might be right.
Teddy : Yes.
I think āresting togetherā is very important. Since weāre at a hot spring inn after allā¦
Letās enjoy this vacation together with you, aruji-sama!
Berrien : ā¦Youāre right. I understand.
So, aruji-sama. This time, Iāll take you up on your offerā¦ For the next four nights and five days of vacationā¦ Would you enjoy them with us?

Hiiii Akari, first I just want to thank you for sharing your translations š„¹ and also I just want to ask about your yumeships hehe I want to know how you fell in love with Berrien, Miyaji and Crowther! What were your first impressions of them and what are your impressions now? What is your favourite things about them? Your yumeship arts are really beautiful and I would love to hear more about them š¹
Nyaa~~ Hi, anon! Thanks for sending your question! ><
First, I initially got interested in Akuneeko because it was promoted by one of my mutuals on Facebook. And I got interested in Miyajiāafter playing the game, I grew to like Miyaji even more, hehehehe. Honestly, Iām still confused as to why I like Miyaji so muchāit was like I was suddenly struck by lightning š
Second, after diving into the main story, I unconsciously fell under Berrienās spellāwhy is he so cute? But on the other hand, heās so responsible??? š
If I had to choose between Berrien and Miyaji, honestly, I couldnāt choose because I like them both šš In the end, I went with the āPoly Yumeā route š„ŗš„ŗ
Third, regarding Crowther. Personally, I canāt handle the whole Mafia/Yakuza trope š
I already had a crush on him even when he was still an NPC š AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT CROWTHERāS VOICE ACTOR IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VOICE ACTORS š so now I like him even more šš
Humu humu.... About My Impressions
At first, I saw Miyaji as a father figure to Lato and Flure. He loves them both so much. The same goes for Berrien, but as Iāve read their story and stories cards... All I can say is... PLEASE YOU TWO HAVE SACRIFICED TOO MUCH ššš
Miyaji! Berrien! Please try being a little selfish for once! Iād actually love it if you two were more selfish to Aruji! šš But now I see Miyaji starting to show his jealous side to the other butlers, hehehe
To Crowther....
Just one thing... He's too nice for a Mafia Boss www
