Chapter 56

Cleaning Up

After finishing the meal, we began cleaning up.

Usually, the maids would take care of everything, but since there was only one today, we decided to do as much as we could ourselves.

โ€œLetโ€™s carry it together.โ€
โ€œThank you, Miss Sara.โ€

With the maid who had returned, Sara pushed a cart loaded with plates out into the hallway.

โ€œLuria tooโ€ฆโ€
โ€œLuria, wait a moment.โ€

I was about to chase after Sara, but Mother stopped me.

โ€œSara is helping to push the cart, so let her be.โ€

After watching Sara walk away, Mother crouched down to meet my eyes.

โ€œLuria, you did a great job looking after Sara.โ€
โ€œWell, I am her big sister.โ€

I felt shy after being praised by Mother.

โ€œBut Luriaโ€ฆโ€
โ€œHm?โ€

Mother wiped my mouth with a napkin.

After cleaning my mouth, she also wiped the table.

Normally, the maids would do these things, but since there werenโ€™t many around today, Mother took care of it herself.

โ€œWas I messy? I didnโ€™t notice.โ€
โ€œYou were much messier than Sara.โ€

I truly hadnโ€™t realized.

When I looked at my clothes more closely, I noticed they were dirtier than Saraโ€™s.

โ€œLuria, look at the floor too.โ€

When Mother told me to, I looked down at the floor.

Carro and Koruko were sitting quietly.

Darw, apparently full from the meal, was fast asleep.

โ€œHm? It looks clean?โ€
โ€œCarro and Koruko ate what you dropped.โ€
โ€œWhat?โ€

When I looked at Carro and Koruko, they averted their eyes.

I thought they were being unusually quiet, but they had been doing that all along.

โ€œWell, it saves us the trouble of cleaning the floor.โ€
โ€œHmm, todayโ€™s short-staffed with maids, after all.โ€

I figured Carro and Koruko were being considerate, butโ€”

โ€œThey always do this, even at the main estate.โ€
โ€œR-really?โ€
โ€œMaybe itโ€™s time for you to practice eating without dropping food on the floor, Luria.โ€
โ€œHmmโ€ฆโ€

โ€œKyui kyui,โ€ โ€œKoo.โ€

Carro and Koruko seemed to say such practice wasnโ€™t necessary.

However, as her big sister, my dignity was at stake.

Starting tomorrow, I resolved to eat more neatly.

After chatting with Mother, I helped her carry the dishes to the kitchen.

Well, technically, we only carried them to the area just before the kitchen.

The kitchen was off-limits because servants from the main estate might come by.

After that, Mother gave some instructions to the maid and turned to Sara and me.

โ€œNow then, shall we take a bath?โ€
โ€œA bath!โ€
โ€œThereโ€™s a big bath in this annex.โ€
โ€œWow!โ€

We hadnโ€™t found the big bath during our earlier exploration.

It seemed weโ€™d been too careless in our search.

โ€œWoof woof,โ€ โ€œKyuu,โ€ โ€œKokko.โ€

Darw, Carro, and Kokko seemed excited about the bath too.

Darw, overjoyed, ran circles around us.

He must have been refreshed after his earlier nap.

Carro, who had been walking on the floor, climbed onto my shoulder so he wouldnโ€™t be left behind.

Flapping its wings, Koruko began walking ahead.

โ€œKoruko, do you know where the bath is?โ€
โ€œKokko.โ€

Apparently, Koruko knew.

It must have found the bath during its exploration of the annex.

โ€œKoruko, are you better at exploring than us?โ€
โ€œKoo.โ€

Koruko looked proud, walking forward as if to say, โ€œFollow me.โ€

Mother walked behind Korko , with Sara and I trailing behind her.

โ€œShould we make Korko  our team leader and explore again?โ€
โ€œโ€ฆMaybe.โ€

Sara didnโ€™t seem too enthusiastic.

Her ears drooped, and her tail hung limply.

When I explained the water-dispensing device earlier, Sara didnโ€™t seem to enjoy being washed.

โ€œSara, donโ€™t you like baths?โ€
โ€œโ€ฆIf I get dirty, I have to wash up.โ€

Sheโ€™d said something similar earlier.

โ€œWell, youโ€™re not that dirty, so maybe you can skip the bath today?โ€
โ€œNo, letโ€™s take a bath together,โ€ Mother said gently, patting Saraโ€™s head.

โ€œOkay, Iโ€™ll try my best.โ€

Sara hugged her stuffed doll tightly.

โ€œI see. But you donโ€™t have to push yourself.โ€
โ€œThank you. Hehe.โ€

I held Saraโ€™s hand and followed Mother.

The destination was an unexplored part of the annex.

It was at the edge of the servantsโ€™ living area on the first floor.

Many areas in the servantsโ€™ quarters were off-limits because servants from the main estate might visit.

That was probably why weโ€™d missed it during our earlier exploration.

โ€œNormally, the maids use it,โ€ Mother said with a smile.

The family rooms had private bathing facilities, but the servantsโ€™ quarters did not.

That was why a large bath for communal use was prepared.

โ€œIโ€™ve never used the big bath at the estate before,โ€ I said.
โ€œThatโ€™s true. The maids probably prefer to relax on their own,โ€ Mother replied.

Apparently, there was a large bath in the royal capital estate as well, but Iโ€™d never used it.

The maids likely wouldnโ€™t feel comfortable relaxing if the family used it.

When we entered the changing room:

โ€œSara, raise your arms!โ€
โ€œIโ€™m fine. I can undress myself.โ€

She refused when I tried to help her undress.

So I started taking off my own clothes.

โ€œHm? Hmโ€ฆโ€

I struggled with unbuttoning my dress, butโ€”

โ€œLet me help,โ€ Mother said, coming to my aid.

โ€œThanks, Mama.โ€

After I undressed, Sara was still fully dressed.

โ€œHaving trouble?โ€

Taking clothes off by yourself was hard.

The buttons were small, numerous, and there were even things at the back to deal with.

โ€œI can do it myself.โ€
โ€œNo need to hesitate. Mama helped me too.โ€
โ€œโ€ฆOkay.โ€

I helped Sara undress.

โ€œItโ€™d be nice if clothes had a hole for your tail, huh?โ€
โ€œBut if my tail sticks out, itโ€™ll look weird and embarrassing.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s not weird or embarrassing. Itโ€™s cool!โ€

As I said that, I noticed welts on Saraโ€™s bottom once her clothes were off.
