Am I a butler now ? I just four years old
"Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha, as expected of the person I care about. It doesn't even matter to him that I am the daughter of an count. Good... my offer is this: if you give your life to me, I will help your family move to Ironstals to live."
After staring at the system for a long time, I was going to agree to be this girl's butler for the time being because I was curious about the leveled up system and to avoid possible problems, when suddenly the girl started laughing and bargaining with me like a little barbarian.
At first I was thinking of accepting this job because the system forced me to and to avoid causing trouble for my family, but the stupid girl gave me the opportunity to bargain with her own hands. Naturally, I wasn't stupid enough to pass up such an opportunity and I wanted to turn things to my advantage as much as possible.
"I'm sorry, Shizune-sama, but I'm not someone you can easily buy."
"Ho ho ho, as expected from my personal butler. Ask me for anything!"
First of all, since I don't know much about the level of wealth in this world, I have to start with an offer that she will not accept.
"First of all, I would like to live in your house with my whole family and my father will work as a knight of the gate in your house and you will pay him 10 gold coins per month, secondly I would like 1000 gold coins, thirdly I would like to have at least two days vacation per week"
There is no way she would accept such an offer. After all, who would let a servant into their house and that servant's family? There is also no way they would allow an unknown man to be their door guard. As far as I can guess, such families have families of servants that go back generations, and members of those families are considered trustworthy and appointed to important positions.
If I remember correctly, a Count is a person who governs a large city, its districts, and the villages and towns within those districts. They're probably quite wealthy. As soon as she rejects my first condition, I will use this opportunity to increase the price.
Even before my offer was rejected, the first person to open his mouth was the baron with an angry expression.
"Hoy Yuto, get a hold of yourself. You're just a peasant, how dare you negotiate with a nobleman"
The old butler used his hand to cover the baron's mouth, reaching a speed I could not follow for a moment. Seeing that this old man was more dangerous than I thought, I decided to be a little more careful, but compromising on the bargain was out of the question. After all, what I was selling was my own freedom. In my previous world, we sold our freedom to our masters, but in that world the only payment we received was the right to vote to elect our master.
"Mr. Aric, it is Shizune-sama who has requested a personal butler, and this could even be considered a sacred ceremony of sorts. Please shut up and dont disrupt this ceremony."
"Y...Yes, sir!"
The girl who didn't care about what was happening next to her suddenly opened her mouth and said the words I needed to get to the second level of the negotiation, or so I thought...
"I agree."
"Since you cannot accept the first condition, then I .... Wait, what did you say?"
"I said, I accept your conditions, poor peasant. It is very good that you are thinking of your family and that you are thinking of your own health so that your working efficiency does not decrease. Besides, a thousand gold coins is not a big problem... it will probably cost me a year's allowance... although I think I can get it from my father."
Wait a minute, what kind of crazy girl would accept such an offer? This girl could be seriously crazy. I need to get out of this situation. If I'm going to be a butler, at least the butler should be someone cool like batman.
"I'm sorry but..."
"Your sorry but, what?"
When I saw the white gloved hand on my shoulder, I realized that I couldn't get out of this situation even if I wanted to. This old bastard is really strong, I didn't even feel him coming towards me.
"I'm sorry that such a wonderful and generous girl had a poor butler like me"
"You're a clever young man. Let me introduce myself..."
The old butler removed his hand from my shoulder and stood in front of me, bowing gracefully and introducing himself.
"I am Alphenzo Vi Ironblood, the head of a branch family that has served the Ironblood family for generations, and I am also the head butler of the Ironblood family"
"Ah... Cool."
"I'm also the person who will teach you how to be a good butler in the future"
"Thank you."
"Hoy Alphenzo, get out of the way, I can't see Yuto"
When Alphenzo moved out of my way, I saw Shizune standing on the table with his hands on either side of his waist, grinning at me through his 32 teeth. For some reason, this posture made me feel like we were about to sail the seas in search of the world's greatest treasure.
"Ha...ha...ha...ha, I'm Shizune vi Ironblood, from today on I'm a true noble with a personal butler, no one can say I'm a child anymore. Moreover, I have the most talented butler in the family. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Young lady, please don't go in dangerous places. If you fall, you might get hurt."
"You know I'm going to ask my father to throw you out as soon as I get home, don't you, Alphenzo?"
I began to question the purpose of my life as I looked at the little girl who, even with her foul mouth, was sitting quietly in her chair with books stacked on it.
"Go and start getting ready. You have until tomorrow morning. I'll send a carriage to your house."
"Yes, young lady."
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm so happy"
I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Mom. I got you into this mess.
"Hahahaha. I can understand you .If I were blessed by a gorgeous young lady like me when I was an ordinary villager, I would cry with joy"
You don't understand anything bitch. Sniff...sniff...
