Chapter 68
Shia and Serulis seemed very excited .
“Thank you . Be careful . ”
“Don’t worry about us!”
Shia’s tail was waving wildly .
“Yes, don’t worry!”
I wasn’t sure about Serulis . I was a little worried .
“Serulis . I mean it, be careful . ”
“I know!”
And with that, Shia a Serulis left the mansion .
After seeing them off, Luchila said,
“I’m worried too . ”
“Cluck . ”
“Yes . But I think Shia will take care of her . ”
Even Gerberga seemed unconvinced .
I petted him as he cooed softly on my lap .
He was especially fluffy in the space between his wings .
“Cluck-cluck . ”
He clucked comfortably .
And then we left the drawing room .
“Alright, I’m going to go out and by some food for today . ”
“I can go for you . ”
“Really? Hmm, alright . Thank you . ”
“Don’t mention it!”
“Just get anything you like . I don’t mind what it is, but get a lot of it . ”
I said and handed him some money .
“Leave it to me!”
Luchila said as he ran out .
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Gerberga said as he saw Luchila leave . There was still a possibility that Gerberga would be attacked, and so I tried to keep him close by as much as possible .
“Lord Gerberga . We’re off to the kitchen . ”
“Cluck!”
Gerberga looked quite pleased with this declaration .
“Cluck-cluck-cluck-cluck . ”
He clucked quietly and occasionally flapped his wings .
Milka and Grulf were in the kitchen .
“Ah, Mister Locke . What is it?”
“Grrr . ”
Milka had changed her clothes now .
She wasn’t wearing clothes that were fit for an aristocrat daughter, but clothes that would be easy to work in .
But she still looked very pretty .
Her hair was nicely brushed and there was no dirt on her face .
She had always been pretty, and so she looked nice by merely being clean .

“I was thinking about making a pantry to preserve food in . ”
“I see! Is there anything I can do to help?”
“No, I’m fine . I see that you changed . ”
“Yes . It would be a waste to ruin those clothes!”
“This suits you nicely as well . ”
“Hehehe . Thank you . ”
Milka said bashfully .
These clothes were nothing like the rags she used to wear .
It was made of high-quality material .
“Did Serulis give it to you?”
“She did . Sister Serulis has given me a lot of clothes . ”
“She’s very generous . ”
I would have to thank her later .
“I can’t be more grateful to her!”
Milka said as she cleaned .
“You didn’t have to start cleaning today . ”
“But the kitchen should be clean at least . You might get sick!”
“I see . Thank you . ”
So that’s why she changed .
As for Grulf, he was sniffing around the kitchen .
“I’m sure you know Grulf, but don’t go around marking your territory, alright?”
“Groof!”

Grulf froze .
Not even a little? That’s what he seemed to be thinking .
I could not let my guard down for a moment .
“Listen here, Grulf . This business of marking your territory…”
“Groof . ”
“You must never do it here or in the royal palace . ”
“Groof . ”
“And not at Goran’s house either . Actually, don’t do it indoors at all . ”
“Groof!!”
What, I can’t? He seemed to cry . But I was glad I was able to make it clear before it happened .
And then I tried to explain why it was this way .
Grulf appeared to be listening, so I had hopes that he understood .
“You must go to the toilet . ”
“Grrr . ”
“And if you have to mark your territory somewhere, you can do it when I take you on walks . ”
“Groof!”
“But then again, it will cause trouble if it’s within the royal capital… You can do it when we take walks outside of the city then . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf was a puppy, but the size of a small horse .
But Grulf was smart, so I was sure that I would be able to take him on walks here without causing trouble .
As we talked, Gerberga landed on Grulf’s back .
It seemed to be one of his favorite spots .
“Well, as for the pantry, I would like to finish before Luchila comes home . ”

“What about this?”
Milka pointed to a large shelf that was in the kitchen .
“That is a normal shelf . So it’s the same as leaving the food outside . ”
“Well, how about this?”
Milka pointed to the floor . There was a storage space underneath .
“It does seem dark and cool . ”
“Right?”
Milka said smugly . She had cleaned the place, so she knew where everything was .
“We’ll use both then . ”
And so I cast a Preservation spell on both .
After that, I also cast an Expansion spell on them .
This made them into what was a less portable version of my bag .
“What kind of magic is that?”
“Quite simple…”
And I explained it to her .
“That’s amazing, Mister Locke . ”
“This is a secret, but I am actually a Sorcerer . ”
“Is that so…”
And then I looked around the room .
I wanted to know if there were any hidden passages or rooms .
Milka, Gerberga and Grulf followed me .
Unfortunately, we did not find any new secrets here .
And so I continued to walk around the mansion and cast spells .
