The strength I showed during the previous battle was ordinary swordsmanship and the physical speed of an ordinary adult. I didn't need to do more than that, so I didn't do more.

This process of hiding some of my power was a bit like leaving a back door when building a house. Just in case this girl really kept her word and didn't talk about my power, I only presented the image of an ordinary boy who might be a skilled swordsman. The fact that she suddenly pointed at me in the middle of the square didn't mean that she was talking about my power or that I saved her.

Thinking about this possibility, I wished that I hadn't shown any strength at all and fought like an ordinary child. Of course, I knew that this was nothing more than a guess born out of my good intentions.

Judging by the way the men with the little girl took care of me, she had probably told me everything in detail.

Inwardly cursing myself for deciding to play the hero, I heard the voice of the man leading me.

"You'll have to take it from here. Go inside and go straight to the second floor, they are waiting for you in the room at the top of the second floor."

When I looked up at the mayor's office, which looked more luxurious than any other building in town, I thought that what I would experience here would have a huge impact on my future.

"Okay."

"Don't forget to be a good boy"

"I got it, okay."

"You are a smart boy, Yuto, smarter than any boy I have ever seen. This is a very serious matter and your parents still don't know what's going on here, if you make a wrong move, not only you will have to face the consequences but your parents too."

"Are you threatening me?"

I was about to take out all my anger on my father's friend when the man bent down to my height and patted me on the head, telling me that I was a good boy and that I could handle it.

When I saw the sweat running down his neck, I realized how worried he was about me and my family.

"I am not a child. I know when to misbehave or when to be good, you don't have to worry about me."

At my words, my father's friend smiled as if he had lost all his worries and turned around and walked away from me. Of course, I wasn't going to leave him like that.

"And one more thing, if you dare to caress my head one more time, I will cut off your arms."

Hearing my words, the man coughed twice as if to say he understood and kept walking.

The only thing left was to do as he said... As I climbed the clean white stairs, for some reason I had the illusion that what awaited me at the top was a hanging tree.

"Are you really sure about this, Shizune-sama?"

"It's just like I said. I want that boy to dedicate his life to me and be my personal butler in the future."

"Hahaha, I didn't hear wrong. What an honor for an ordinary peasant like him who has no last name"

"Of course it is Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha"

When Aric's assistant saw a little girl trying to laugh like a barbarian, he couldn't help but chuckle a little. Fortunately, Aric recognized this immediately and sent his worthless assistant to go and serve drinks. Aric's assistant was a young knight who had been Aric's companion since he was a boy, and a man of that rank could not escape punishment if he disrespected the daughter of a superior noble. Knowing this, Aric thanked the goddesses that he had been the first to notice his aide's behavior.

What Aric didn't realize was that although the old butler had seen Aric's assistant's earlier behavior but he showed no expression.

**Knock knock**

"He's finally came... YOU CAN COME!"

The big door was pushed open by the male servants under the command of the old butler waiting outside, and in walked a black-haired boy who looked to be about 4 years old, but could have been 5 or 6.

-------

As soon as the doors opened, the first thing I noticed was the pink-haired girl sitting in a fancy chair that was too big for her. To be honest, it didn't seem to bother her at all to sit in a chair bigger than her own height.

For some reason, when I saw her when she was kidnapped, I had a feeling that she was much prettier than she is now, and when I thought about the reason for this difference, I guessed that it was probably the smug smile on her face.

When I rescued her, she was looking at me with a tearful expression, not the arrogant smile she has now, and she radiated a sweetness that made me pity her.

"I finally got to see you again, Yuto-kun."

Yuto-kun??? This girl is more sassy than I thought.

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Because I have a favor to ask of you"

"What do you want?"

Standing behind the girl, whose name was Shizune, Baron Aric gave me such a stern look that I almost took the sword I had stolen from the bandits out of my storage space and assumed a defensive stance. Probably my questioning was unbecoming of a nobleman, but even if I realized that, I didn't care to correct it; after all, I was just a simple 4-year-old peasant.

Without any reaction to my rude behavior, the noble girl made her own request.

"I want you to devote your life to me, Yuto-kun."

Just as I was about to smile and say "go fuck yourself", a system system screen popped up in front of me, blocking the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

[Congratulations you have fulfilled all the requirements to make an undercover assignment a main assignment (a real butler)

Mission content: become a nobleman's servant

Term of office 10 years (remaining time: 5.99 years)

Quest reward: Butler system lvl 1 --> lvl 2, removal of main quest and recurring quest system, check-in

Mission penalty: death penalty]

Hey system, explain to me what the hell this means!

[ This quest is a quest that is active the moment you are born and I strongly recommend you to do it.

Because after this quest, you will not be subjected to penalized quests again]

What's with the duty penalty? Fuck, the system's gone too far this time. I thought it might happen the moment I saw the name of the system, but it's a bit early, isn't it?

Even if I still have six years left... Should I accept this girl's request? If she really kept her promise. Besides, it must be more comfortable to serve a lowly noble.

[It has been discovered that you have obtained a new main quest, ending your previous main quest (learn magic)

Mission rank : B --> S (mandatory ending buff)

Quest reward : 3-star sword technique (sword drawing style of 12 masters)

Extra reward : mana hiding]

As soon as I was confronted with the unexpected second system screen, I felt the mana in my body suddenly turn cold, a sensation that was not uncomfortable, but impossible to articulate exactly what it was.
