"Corin? Why are you here?!"
Before Wise could say anything, Ellen at the side looked at the obediently sitting Corin in front of her with great surprise. At the same time, she immediately thought of how Corin, after finishing her commission today and having some vacation time, had immediately left in a hurry, saying something about going to repay her benefactor. When Lycaon and Lina knew about this, they had even praised Corin for being a good child who knew how to repay kindness. She didn't expect to run into her here.
And at this time, Corin on the other side also noticed this side. When she first saw Wise, her face immediately broke into a smile. But then, after noticing Ellen, her smile immediately froze.
"M-Miss Ellen..."
This was like suddenly running into a good friend at your workplace while you were working. It's just that her situation was more like taking on a private job. No, that wasn't right. Corin was doing this to repay a kindness, without asking for anything in return, so it couldn't be considered that.
"So, the benefactor you were talking about is Wise?"
"Mmm, yes. He helped me out before when I was... when I was being troubled by someone." Hearing Ellen's question, Corin subconsciously wanted to say the time they first met in the Hollow, but after realizing that that matter needed to be kept secret, she immediately changed her words.
And Ellen also didn't hear anything wrong, but instead looked at Wise beside her. The other party indeed had that kind of helpful image. It's just that for a little girl like Corin, whenever she encountered difficulties, it would inevitably arouse others' desire to protect her.
"I didn't expect Corin's benefactor to be you. Lycaon and Lina even said they wanted to come and thank you in person. But they have something to do right now, so I'll do it on their behalf." Ellen was also very grateful to Wise. After all, if it weren't for him at that time, the subsequent troubles might have been even greater.
"You're welcome. After all, everyone has times when they run into trouble. I just didn't expect that Ellen and Corin actually know each other, and are even colleagues." In fact, Wise had known this for a long time. Although he couldn't remember the specific details of the plot because it had been a long time, he still remembered the interpersonal relationships of some of the characters. For example, if you wanted to conquer Tsukishiro Liu, you had to raise Cangjiao well first. So these days, whenever he had free time, he would go and feed the other party. Her favorability had even reached 90 because of this. It could only be said that just by feeding, you could increase favorability. This was something else. And the other party would also occasionally take the initiative to come over for a free meal, which made Belle also become familiar with Cangjiao.
(Also, let me say that the protagonist's understanding of the plot here only goes up to the part about the Balai Building. He doesn't know what happens after they go to the Outer Ring.)
Back to the topic. After Ellen learned that Corin's repayment to Wise was to come and clean the video store when she was free, but this way, wouldn't the purpose of her trip today conflict with her plan to be Wise's exclusive maid for a day?
Ellen understood Corin's personality. If she let the other party come, there would probably be nothing left for her to do. (Because Corin would take the initiative to take on everything herself.)Forget it. Besides cleaning, it's not like there aren't other things to do.
"Then I'll go prepare lunch first. Corin, you should stay for lunch today too. Don't refuse. After all, this is also part of repaying the kindness."
"Eh? O-okay, thank you."
After Wise entered the kitchen, Corin also began to move again. Because she was afraid of doing something out of line, she even specially asked what she needed to pay attention to before starting. And Belle, after learning that the 'doing' the other party was talking about was doing housework, said that besides the room on the first floor which she couldn't enter, other places were fine.
She was originally a little worried about whether Corin could do a good job, but after seeing the other party's ability, she was relieved. It could only be said that she was truly a professional housekeeping company maid.
Ellen had originally wanted to help too, but Corin said that this was her own repayment of kindness and she wanted to complete it herself, so she asked her not to interfere. The former could only give up after hearing this and instead went to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could help with, thinking of helping out. Wise naturally did not refuse. With Ellen's help, a table of food was quickly completed. And on the other side, Corin had also completed all the cleaning on the second floor.
However, when it was time to start eating, neither Corin nor Ellen rushed to sit down. Instead, they both came to Wise's side in unison.
"Uh, excuse me, what are you two doing?"
Just as Wise was wondering, he was pushed to the chair by the two of them. One had him sit down, while the other pushed the chair back, allowing him to sit comfortably at the dining table. "Master, please have your meal."
Ellen brought the food to him, and then took the initiative to pick up the bowl, wanting to feed Wise. The latter was also stunned upon seeing this. "W-wait a minute! This..."
"Ah, right. I almost forgot." Because of Wise's sudden interruption, Ellen seemed to have remembered something. She then put down the bowl with a somewhat complicated expression. He had thought that she had understood his meaning, but he didn't expect Ellen to make a heart shape with her hands with a look of shame.
"So gentle, so gentle, so fragrant, so fragrant, become delicious!"
Although the words were a bit stumbled, Ellen still said this incantation in one breath with a gentle tone. And Belle at the side, seeing this, couldn't help but think in her heart, I'm so envious. Next time, let me say the incantation for my brother. I wonder if he'll dislike it. Oh, right, as a reward, I'll have my brother say the 'become delicious' incantation for me once too.
"S-so amazing! As expected of Miss Ellen. Corin couldn't do something like this..." (Because it feels too shameful.)
Corin's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow, making Ellen also a bit unable to hold on. In fact, she also felt ashamed! It's just that she usually wouldn't do this kind of thing.
"Mmm, thank you. After Ellen's magic, I feel it really has become much more delicious."
Wise's praise after taking a bite made Ellen even more unable to lift her head. Although she had long expected that with his personality, he would praise her like this, but it was still so shameful! "N-no, you're welcome, Master. Please enjoy your meal."
"Mmm, Ellen and Corin, don't just stand there either. Sit down and eat together first. It's not too late to perform the maid service later. Mmph, let's just treat this as the master's order." Wise was afraid that the two would refuse, so he specially added this sentence. And the two of them couldn't say anything more after hearing this and obediently sat down.
"Mmm! S-so delicious! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, Master! It really makes me feel ashamed!" After tasting the food in front of her, Corin immediately widened her eyes. Usually at Victoria Housekeeping, it was Lycaon who did the cooking. Besides that, it was Lina who occasionally showed off her skills.
