Ram was in charge of the tea service. She distributed teacups to each seat and then poured the tea.
The steaming aroma instantly filled the entire restaurant. Shi Chen felt his stomach rumbling. Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten anything since he came into this world yesterday.
"Did you make all these things?" Shichen asked the twins.
"Rem made all of these," Rem said proudly.
"Yes, I'll work hard for my sister's sake too!" Rem said with a smile.
"So it seems my sister is useless after all," Shi Chen said, shaking his head mockingly.
“Wh...what…” Ram’s little face froze.
“That’s not true at all! My sister is my role model!” Rem retorted earnestly.
"That's it..."
"Ah ha~ ah, do you have anything good? Good stuff, good stuff."
Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out in the restaurant, and then an extraordinary person walked in.
Chapter 486 Rotswal
The man who walked in was very tall, with long, dark blue hair that almost touched his back.
The man was rather thin, with a sickly pale complexion and very handsome features; one could easily mistake him for a good-looking young man.
His pupils were different colors, yellow on the left and blue on the right, heterochromatic eyes that Shi Chen envied.
This man was supposed to be the kind of prince with a melancholic style, but unfortunately, he was dressed in a strangely colored outfit and had a clown's face.
Strangers would only see him as a clown at first glance.
"Isn't this Betty? You actually came out? And you're sitting on this stranger's lap..." The clown man's tone was exaggeratedly surprised, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Shi Chen noticed the surprise in his eyes; it seemed he hadn't foreseen the situation between himself and Betty.
“Don’t call me Betty. We’re not that close,” Betty said bluntly.
"How cold, Betty. Aren't we companions? Can't you have a friendly chat with me?"
"I already told you not to call me Betty, and who are you my comrades? I'm only comrades with Chen." Betty's attitude was indifferent.
"Don't say that~ Beatrice, you've made such a surprise appearance here, you must want to have a meal with me, right? I'm so happy~" The clown man completely ignored Betty's attitude.
"Hmph! You can be happy as you please. I'm just keeping Chen company. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come." Betty gave a disdainful snort, not even glancing at him.
"Don't be so heartless~"
"what happened?"
Just then, Emilia, who had changed her clothes, walked in.
"Oh my, Lady Emilia is here too," the clown said with a smile.
"Emilia." Shichen waved to Emilia.
"Shichen... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Emilia nodded and walked towards Shichen, then sat down in her seat.
His location was a bit far from the appointed time, but since he was just a guest, his seating arrangement was different.
"I think I'm being ignored," the clown man chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Shi Chen looked at him calmly.
“That’s true.” The clown stopped showing off and walked to the top seat at the table.
His identity was obvious from this, even though Shi Chen had already recognized him.
"So you haven't told Shichen your name yet," Emilia said, suddenly realizing.
"It's not too late now~"
The clown-like man looked at the time, spread his arms, and his ostentatious aura disappeared, leaving only the imposing presence of a superior.
“I am the owner of this house, Roswaal L. Mezzas—yes, welcome, Mr. Hour.”
"Just as I thought." Shi Chen smiled slightly.
"Haha~ I knew I couldn't hide it from you... Although I have a lot to tell you, let's have breakfast first."
Since the owner of the mansion said so, it was time to start breakfast.
Shichen didn't stand on ceremony and began to sample breakfast foods he had never eaten before; the bread and salad were surprisingly good.
He thought the food in another world would be a bit bland, but he was surprised to find that it had all the necessary seasonings.
“It’s delicious.”
“Right? Rem’s cooking is quite affordable.” Roswaal replied with a smile.
"Chen, I want to eat too~" Betty grabbed Shi Chen's hand and opened her mouth coquettishly.
Esther, on the other hand, sat quietly eating.
She didn't need to compete with Betty; since they rarely saw each other, she should let her have her way a little first.
"Okay~" Shi Chen put down his knife and fork, preparing to use her knife and fork to feed her.
"Don't go to all that trouble, just use Chen's," Betty said.
"Um......"
Shichen reluctantly fed her with his own utensils, then turned his attention to Rem.
"Did Rem make all of this?"
Shichen looked at Rem and saw her making a gesture with her index and little fingers pointing upwards, which probably meant something like "yes".
"What did Ram do?" Shichen asked Ram.
"..." Ram remained expressionless.
"At this time, Rem is in charge of the dining table in the house because my sister isn't very good at cooking," Rem replied.
"Really? What will you be responsible for, sister? Cleaning?"
"Yes, cleaning and washing are things that my sister excels at."
"Do the twins divide the work? Does that mean Rem isn't good at cleaning and washing?"
“No, Rem is good at almost all housework, and she’s also very good at cleaning and washing, even better than her sister,” Rem replied with a hint of pride.
"As expected, my sister is useless," Shi Chen sighed.
"..." Ram stared intently at the time, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Ahem, you sisters must be in different fields, right? Ram is actually a combat type, responsible for protecting the courtyard and stuff?"
"Hmph~" Ram gave a barely satisfied hum.
"Oh my~ Mr. Toki, you're really something~ Ram and Rem both have very strong personalities, so they're generally not very popular on their first meeting~" Roswaal said with a smile.
"It's alright. It's good that the maids have personalities, but compared to them, you, the master, are the ones with a more distinctive personality, aren't you?"
"That's well said~ But Mr. Tokiomichi, does that mean you like Ram and Rem?"
"You can't deny it, those two maids are just so cute."
“Chen, I’m the cutest,” Betty argued, dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes, Betty is the cutest." Shi Chen rubbed her little head.
"Hehe~"
"I never imagined that Beatrice would get along so well with someone she just met." Roswaal stared blankly at Betty, who was shaking her head.
“Of course, I’ve already signed a contract with Chen,” Betty said proudly.
“Is that so…” Roswaal’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at Ram.
Ram nodded.
"It seems that Mr. Shichen has abilities that I am unaware of."
"Look at what you're saying. We've only just met. How could you possibly know me?" Shichen smiled as he looked at Rotzwaal.
"That's true. It seems I need to learn more about Mr. Shichen."
"Don't be so polite, just call me by my name... Rather than being understood by you, I'd rather be understood by Emilia."
"Time!"
Emilia put down her cutlery, wiped her mouth, and then glared at him with displeasure: "Please refrain from talking while eating, otherwise it's very impolite to Rem and Ram who prepared our meal~"
"Although it's a bit late to bring up table manners now, you're right. We can't upset Rem and Ram and lower their opinion of me."
"Do you have your eye on Ram and Rem?" Roswaal suddenly asked.
"This is a maid, you know. No normal person could possibly not like her, right?"
"Oh dear~ normal people... In that case, Shichen, you should try your best to abduct them."
"Hmm?" Shi Chen looked at him in confusion.
Rotswald spread his hands and smiled indifferently: "Although Ram and the others are maids in my manor, they do not belong to me and are free. In other words, if you can do it, taking them away is no problem at all."
"Really? I'll take that seriously."
"As long as you can do it within the allotted time."
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer," Shi Chen replied without any politeness.
Although it was impolite to show interest in someone else's maid in front of the master, he knew what kind of person this guy was and there was no need to be polite to him.
Rem and Ram didn't react at all, and Betty and the others ate their food in silence, while Emilia couldn't help but glance at him.
"By the way, the only servants in this mansion are Rem and Ram, right? Is it okay if I kidnap them?" Toki asked, remembering the question.
"It seems you don't understand anything, Shichen."
Rotswald laughed: "You're really something else~ Coming to the Mezas border mansion in the Kingdom of Lugnica, knowing absolutely nothing, yet still thinking of abducting my maid, how did you manage to pass the kingdom's entry screening?"
Clearly, Rotzwaal had no idea that the time had appeared out of thin air in this world.
Come to think of it, he doesn't even understand Subaru Natsuki, let alone him.
