A Visitor And Her Request

Number One was busily trimming grass and flowers in the garden again. It was supposed to serve Sunders as a house butler, but it had not seen its master for a long time.

Again, it tended to the house alone, just like when Sunders wasn't here in the last decade.

Gardening, cleaning… there were no changes except that it also needed to provide food and water to the Krakoks. And since the only other guest in the mansion, Angor, left in the early morning, the machine butler had nothing else to do.

A teenage girl suddenly appeared at the manor's entrance, along with a group of fluttering butterflies.

Number One quickly went to Sunders' study and spoke through the closed door, "Master, a guest is visiting."

"Send her away…" Sunders replied in a tired voice.

Number One complied and told so to the girl. But as it turned around to head inside, it saw the same girl, who was dressed in a showy violet fur overcoat, was already inside the garden.
