Chapter 73 – Twintail Mania Meets the Brown-Skinned, Twin-Tailed, Silver-Haired, Loli, Busty Maid

One day, while Yuzuriha-san and I were buried in papers in my office, a soldier on gate duty announced a visitor.

“A merchant?”

“Yes. The merchant said he had the honor of meeting Your Excellency before… Shall I turn him away?”

“No, I’ll see him.”

“Shall I show him to the reception room then?”

“I can’t afford to take the time to go over there, so why don’t you let him through to the office over here?”

“Yes, sir!”

I sighed secretly as I watched the soldier’s back as he walked quickly away.

Currently, to put it bluntly, the Margrave of Lohengrin is in trouble.

What is so bad is that there are no human resources at all.

Soldiers and other military personnel are still available, but internal affairs personnel are completely depleted.

And the reason for such a situation is…

“I’m sorry… It’s because I purged everyone of this clan…”

Yuzuriha-san, who was buried in paperwork next to me, mercilessly crushed the former Martrave and his cronies.

The previous Margrave had amassed a substantial amount of money over the years through clever and dishonest means, and the family monopolized key positions and was a major source of funding for the previous coup d’etat.

Moreover, when pursued about it, he completely reverted and refused any investigation, turning against the royal family and Yuzuriha-san.

As a result, the entire clan was purged by Yuzuriha-san.

The problem did not come to light until the Grand Duchess of Ventas occupied the Lohengrin territory, but now that the enemy forces have retreated and I’m in charge of the territory, a very troubling situation has emerged.

There are no internal affairs personnel to manage the territory.

“It’s not Yuzuriha-san’s fault. Even if the person in charge of illegally accumulating wealth and his children remain, they won’t be of any use anyway.”

“Ugh… But it would have been worth it to keep them alive just to shove this huge pile of paperwork on them…”

“No, I don’t want people fabricating documents without my permission or signing them without even inspecting them.”

As I was comforting Yuzuriha-san while moving my pen, the soldier returned with a visitor.

There was a familiar face.

“Um, the accessories shop clerk…?”

“It’s been a long time.”

The clerk from the shop Yuzuriha-san took me to buy Suzuha’s birthday present sometime ago was there…

Behind him was a young man wearing a hooded shirt, who might have been a fellow merchant or an apprentice.

The reason why I remember this clerk whom I met only a few times is because he was a very interesting character.

He looks like a proper old gentleman, but for some reason he always persists with twintails.

“What brings you here today? Is it business?”

“Well, I heard that you became a Margrave and reclaimed your territory. So I thought I’d do business here too and I came to say hello first.”

“I see.”

It has been said that the condition of being a good merchant is being able to see the right moment.

Whether or not the old twin-tailed maniac in front of me is a good man or not, I am glad to know that the area is perceived as an appealing place for merchants.

Merchants have networks amongst themselves.

I would like to ask the clerk to spread the word to other merchants about the charms of the Lohengrin territory.

“If that’s the case, I’d love to greet you properly, but I’m sorry, I can’t get up from my chair right now.”

“You don’t have to worry about it. I am a mere merchant, and I fully understand the circumstances in which a Margrave must be buried in documents.”

“That’s part of it, yes… Ah, can you come over to this side of the desk for a minute?”

Feeling a little mischievous, I invited the clerk over instead of explaining the situation.

“Hohoho, just what are you going to show—-UWOO!?!?!?”

The clerk who came over to my desk was so surprised that he almost jumped when he saw my lap.

Surprise success.

That’s right. In my lap was Kanade, the twin-tailed, brown-skinned, silver-haired, busty loli maid, curled up like a cat, napping.

The clerk, a twin-tailed maniac, seemed to be surprised beyond my imagination. As expected of a maniac.

“T-This girl is…!?”

“She is currently the only maid in Margrave of Lohengrin’s household. She’s sleeping on my lap at the moment, but she’s still a very good maid. Especially good at cleaning.”

“…Surely she must be good at cleaning…”

“Indeed. Despite the vastness of the mansion, she manages to finish cleaning by the morning. She is truly exceptional.”

For some reason, the clerk’s forehead was sweating, and his whole body was trembling.

It was as if a legendary assassin had suddenly appeared in front of him.

But of course, the person in my lap is not a legendary assassin, but just a brown-skinned, silver-haired, loli, twin-tailed maid with big t**s…

That’s just how much the clerk likes twin-tails.

“What do you think? Apart from the twintails, isn’t she cute curled up like a cat?”

“Y-Yes… It almost made my heart stop…”

“Haha, that’s an exaggeration.”

“I am not exaggerating… To calmly tame a man-eating tiger, or rather a leopard… I am truly impressed from the bottom of my heart!”

It sounded like a joke when I heard the words, but the clerk’s tone and expression were serious.

Apparently, I’ve earned a mysterious high rating thanks to my twin-tailed maid.
