Hearing Ophenia describe the challenges she faced when trying to fix the house, really surprised Alexander. Because just looking around, he could see very few traces which indicated the house was not in proper order.
It seemed she and Mean had done a great job of making the house appear flawless at a casual glance.
"I see. It must have been hard to do, but you two have done a fantastic job. Congratulations." Hence Alexander nodded in appreciation and praised.
"Thank you, master!" And this worked to put a large smile on Ophenia's somewhat tired face, while Mean also puffed her chest with pride and then seizing the chance, decided to also air out some of her own grievances.
"Mmmn, that's right, it took a lot of hard work to get all this done in such a short time you know." She began, before elucidating,
"Because would not believe the state of the house I found it in. This place had been neglected for quite some time, and was in a much worse shape than Lady Nanazin's one."
