The next day, as soon as a ray of sunlight cast into the room, Lane opened his eyes.
Getting out of bed and changing his clothes, the new day's butler work began.
Lane adapted to the work of a butler very quickly and very naturally.
After giving Nanali magic tutoring last night, Lane found that he had also begun to like this proud and tenacious little loli.
If the butler's job was just to take care of Nanali, it didn't seem so bad.
Pushing the door open, he saw the maid sisters Darrie and Daisy dragging the floor. It seemed that they had been working for a while.
He thought he had gotten up very early...
"Good morning, Mr. Lane."
Seeing Lane, the two sisters greeted him with smiles. Lane nodded and replied with a good morning, then was about to fetch water to wash his face.
"The water for morning washing is ready. I also included Mr. Lane's portion."
At this time, Darrie suddenly said.
Lane was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to Darrie: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. Mr. Lane, go wash up first. We still have to send the young lady to the college later."
Alcott College allows students to enter with guard knights or personal butlers, but only one can be brought, which can be regarded as a way to show one's status.
After washing up, Lane went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
Daisy followed the smell and floated over, with saliva still drooling from the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Lane, what are we having for breakfast this morning?"
"Why do you ask what to eat? Just wait to eat."
While saying this, Lane placed his palm on Daisy's face and pushed her face, which was getting closer and closer to the pot, away: "Go away, don't drip saliva into the pot!"
Finished cooking, plated, and on the table, Lane was just about to wake Nanali up when the door of Nanali's room was opened. Nanali walked out of the room yawning, her little face full of exhaustion.
The smooth blonde hair from yesterday was now messy like a bird's nest. Now Nanali was wearing the school uniform of Alcott College. The uniform was mainly beige, with a small skirt, a red ribbon tied at the collar, and white knee socks on her legs, very in line with the style of a noble college.
It also made Nanali a little cuter in Lane's eyes.
"Miss, it's time to wash up."
Seeing Nanali like this, Lane already guessed that Nanali probably didn't sleep at all last night.
Just as Lane guessed, because she suddenly learned the magic she had been longing for last night, Nanali tossed and turned in bed after returning to her room and was too excited to fall asleep.
"Coming."
Nanali rubbed her eyes, responded, and walked towards Lane.
The two sisters, Daisy and Darrie, looked at each other and had strange expressions.
After Butler Lamb passed away, the two of them were the ones who spent the longest time with Nanali in the mansion.
They also understood Miss Nanali's personality very well.
Usually, if Miss Nanali was called to wash up, at most she would just nod in response and not give anyone a good look.
But now, even though it was just Lane whom she met yesterday, Miss Nanali actually said "Coming"?
The two sisters blinked and finally looked at Lane admiringly.
Mr. Lane is truly amazing!
Lane didn't know how difficult it was to make Nanali say "Coming". He just felt that the relationship between Nanali and him was not as distant as yesterday, and he couldn't help but be a little happy inside. After Nanali finished washing up, Lane pulled over a chair for Nanali and let the still somewhat dazed Nanali sit on it, preparing to blow-dry Nanali's hair.
After absorbing most of the moisture on Nanali's wet blonde hair with a towel, Lane recited a spell in his heart and gusts of wind were released from his palm.
"Lane."
Having her hair blown by the wind magic, there was finally a little more sparkle in Nanali's eyes: "Where did you learn your magic?"
This was actually something that Nanali had been curious about since last night.
"The one who taught me magic was an elf."
Lane didn't hide anything and answered frankly.
An elf?
Nanali became even more curious.
But because of Nanali's personality, Nanali still suppressed her inner curiosity and didn't ask further, to avoid being seen as a curious baby by Lane.
However, Lane's magic tutor was actually a genuine elf? No wonder Lane knew so much about magic theory.
After drying Nanali's hair, Lane stroked Nanali's blonde hair with his hand.
Well, it was very smooth and felt good. It reminded Lane of a kind of chubby, furry monster he often encountered in the demon territory when he was in the knight order.
This kind of furry monster was only the size of a palm, barked fiercely, but actually had no aggression. Every time Lane rested, he would always catch one and play with it in his hand.
Sitting on the chair, Nanali took the knife and fork handed by Lane and began to enjoy breakfast.
Lane stood behind Nanali, quietly watching Nanali have breakfast. Suddenly, Nanali turned her head to look at Lane, trying to pretend to be very cold and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Lane shook his head.
"Sit down and eat together."
"Eh?"
Lane was slightly stunned and uttered in confusion.
"I don't mean anything else. It's just... You still have to send me to the college later. I don't have time to wait for you to have breakfast..."
As she spoke, Nanali turned her gaze away and her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Wow..."
The maid sisters exclaimed in a low voice and stuck together. Miss Nanali is actually shy? So cute!
"It's my honor."
Lane didn't see Nanali's shy expression. Just responding in accordance with the butler's norms, he went to the kitchen to get his own breakfast.
What Lane didn't notice was that after he said that response, Nanali's originally shy expression also sank instantly.
After having breakfast in a silent atmosphere, Nanali wiped her mouth and jumped off the chair: "Should we go now?"
"Yes."
Darrie stood upright standardly, smiling with narrowed eyes: "The church bell is probably about to ring, right? If the two of you don't hurry up and set off, you might be late."
Lane & Nanali: "!!!"
"Dong - Dong -"
The huge church bell rang timely, meaning that it was time for Art City to face a new day, and the residents of Art City should also go out to work at this time. There are still ten minutes until the class time at Alcott College!
Lane immediately picked up Nanali, rushed out of the mansion at a fast pace, and came to the stable.
The thin horse Lane brought yesterday was leisurely eating the forage in the stable. Seeing Lane, it also neighed familiarly.
Putting Nanali, whose body had become a little stiff, on the horseback, Lane then mounted the horse and held the reins in one hand and held Nanali in the other:
"Miss, sit tight!"
"Ah?"
Nanali seemed to be confused as if she just regained her senses. The next moment, Lane whipped the reins.
"Slap!"
The thin horse neighed loudly, then rushed out of the stable and the gate of the mansion like the wind, galloping towards the direction of Alcott College.
Nanali subconsciously wanted to scream out in surprise, but she forced it back, making her little face red.
Closing her eyes tightly, Nanali unconsciously tightened Lane's clothes, wishing to rub herself into Lane's body.
