Chapter 3
blinked my eyes and stared at the girl. She was about my age and had pretty long brown hair…
“Hunf! When the head maid comes you are dead, Ellet!”
“……”
Looking at the venomous words, she didn’t seem to be friends.
Soon, a good-looking lady, presumed to be the head maid, appeared with a thump.
“Ellet! Why are you fooling around here? You still didn’t go to help in the kitchen?”
“What? Kitchen work? Me?”
“Then is there another lazy kid who only plays and eats other than you in here?!”
Even so, me doing kitchen work…for me who has been living on my own, cooking meant living while heating up frozen lunch boxes and ordering delivery food……
No, there was a bigger problem than that.
This body was a child of about ten years old. Is exploitation of child labor legalized in this world’s setting?
Then two more people appeared.
“Madame! Ellet is too young. Kitchen work is still too much for a child.”
“Dad is right. I’d rather work for her. Yes?” A father and a young son begged on my behalf. Among them, I noticed that the son’s head was the same pink as mine.
“Frintz! What are you doing here, what about the Young Master’s class?! Hurry up and go back to your seat!”
“He-Head Maid!”
“Sir Alchemist, until when are you going to wrap your daughter around your arms? If you are ten, you are all grown up. You have to pay for your meal!”
“How can I let my daughter go to a busy and tiring place like the kitchen…… if she gets hurt…”
“Enough, the maids are under my jurisdiction. If you keep doing this, I’ll tell the Lord!”
As expected, the handsome scholar-like man in his 30s and the boy with pink hair seemed to be a family member of my transmigrated body.
‘Family…….
It felt kind of awkward and strange.
The pink haired boy did not give in even after being scolded once.
“But eleven-year-old Nelly doesn’t work either.”
The brunette girl jumped besides the woman at the mention of her name.
“My daughter is different! Nelly’s going to train to be a tea maid, not a maid who does all sort of dirty work, but what if her hands get damaged!”
Incidentally, it seems that she has a family relationship with the angry head maid.
While I was focusing on gathering information. Nelly, who was in high spirits thanks to her mother’s backing, said so that only I could hear it.
“You’re not crying today. Why? When you think about being slapped by me likes last time, you want to cry right?”
I liked it even more knowing the fact that this body was even slapped. When hostility is clear, it makes everything easier.
The Head Maid put pressure on the talk.
“Before I send her straight to the laundry room, let her calmly go to the kitchen!”
Boasting a wealth of Rofan reading, I knew well that the laundry was the hardest work place.
Isn’t it a place where you have to deal with ashes from the stove while wrestling with a heavy pile of wet laundry all the while inside a steamy basement?
It was impossible for a child to survive where only the most powerful of the maids went.
The alchemist and the pink haired boy were restless. I didn’t want to see them like that.
“Yes! I’ll help in the kitchen!”
“Let!” (Brother)
“It’s okay. I’ll work hard!”
Even when I heard my own voice, I tough it was so cute that it made anyone cheerful and relaxed.
“Yes, you thought very well.”
The head maid mother and daughter grinned. Her mean face was full of swear words, and unspoken
thoughts that she would mistreat me as much as she could.
Like them, I smiled broadly.

'I can feel it.'
It feels like my hands are full of energy!
All right, let's try it.
Act 3. The Social Life of a little Maid,
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Ssongsong! Tap tap tap!
“I washed the mini carrots and broccoli here!"
"I'm done trimming the mushrooms!”
"The garlic and onion are all chopped! Vegetables are finished with this! Foods that are in bad condition are excluded here. Hehe."
“The beef should be about the same size, right? Is it too big? Still, it's best to chew big pieces of meat.",
“The whipped cream is also in perfect condition! Whoa, my arm hurts… Can I rest for a bit?"
“Sure!"
"Thank you! …I'm done resting!"
"Already?!"
"Yes! I'll clean it up now!"
She was good at handling everything and cleaning up the mess perfectly. The child's fingertips were meticulous.
"Fufu, the experience… All the experience points… huh huh…"
No one even knew why, but the child was enjoying hard work.
The head maid, who was watching Ellet from behind with her arms folded, was embarrassed when she realized that her plan had gone wrong.
The chin of the woman, who clenched her lips, shrunk like a walnut.
'This is not why I brought her here!'
Until now, the kitchen maids, who had only quietly watched Ellet because of the head maid's presence, couldn't stand it anymore and gathered together.
"How. She's really good at the job."
“She has a pretty good eye for the condition of ingredients?”
“Did such a talented person exist in our mansion?"
“As expected, Alchemist Leonard daughter is different."
"Cute……."
"Thank you for the compliment!"
As she spoke politely and laughed, more kitchen maids flocked around her. Someone even washed strawberries well, and put it inside Ellet's mouth.
"It's delicious, sister!"
"Yes!"
Starting with that, various pieces of fruit used to decorate the pancakes were pushed out in front of the child's mouth.
The head maid's eyes widened even more at the friendly atmosphere in the kitchen, that seemed to exude a caring behavior towards a lovely little sister.
Ellet pulled her neck out like a deer and inhaled the smell.
"The cream stew smells delicious."
"Would you like to test taste it?"
It was the head chef, Peisha, who casually asked for a second opinion.
All the kitchen maids were terrified. It was very rare for Chef Peisha, who was so proud of her job, to let other people test taste her food.
"Yes!"
Ellet, who was unaware of the situation, answered brightly, but the head maid intervened in embarrassment.
“Chef Peisha, what are you talking about! Such a kid can't recklessly touch the food…!"
"Head maid, don't you have work to do, why are you wasting your time here? Please don't make noise and get out of my area."
"Ugh……."
When the kitchen's No. 1 threatened, the head maid was forced to subside. Meanwhile, Ellet scooped the stew with a ladle and tasted it.
'Sommelier-class inspection activated!'
Cash power resided at the tip of Ellet's tongue.
“Unh, I think it lacks a bit of seasoning. How about adding a little crushed pepper?"
"…….Really?"
Peisha's old eyes, which were indifferent to the world, shone after a long time. Ellet had just passed her exam.
'This kid has talent!'
The moment she decided, Peisha didn't think for long.
“Ellet Lo Dellaine.”
"Yes, Chef! Do you have any more orders?"
"Why don't you learn to cook?"
"Cooking? Oh, well, shall we?"
Ellet, who was more serious about her experience than actual cooking, responded with a bewildered
answer.
Meanwhile, the kitchen maids were astonished. It was a huge thing for the strict chef to bring in students.
And that was not even the end.
"From tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the morning… No, come to the kitchen by 7 o'clock. Because you are young."
"Yes!"
She even made it convenient to go to work an hour late.
The head maid's forearm trembled. Contrary to her intentions, it was outrageous to have laid a flower path for Ellet.
She kicked a pot in the floor to settle her anger.
Ahhh!'
The head maid, who hit her big toe incorrectly, went out of the kitchen limping.
"Uhhhhh……"
When I came to myself after grinding up my cooking experience in a trance, the body of a child who was overworked by labor was screaming,
Her arms trembled as she turned the butter churn to make butter.
“Ellet, take it easy."
"Yeah, child. You'll get crumps on your arms. Shall I do the rest?"
"No! It's okay, sisters!"
I gave strength to my voice before the friendly kitchen maids took my job away. The yard was almost finished. She could not be deprived of valuable experience points.
''I'm going to level up soon!
With the reward in front of me, I tightly squeezed the remaining power in my body. Of course, I felt a little regretful because it felt like I was going back to my days of working part-time for a living.
Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't had gone through all that hardship in my previous life to pass the civil service exam.
'If I had gone to a real Rofan childcare novel.'
She would have been enjoying the sweetness of the world as an adorable infant of an imperial family with absolute power or a hidden powerful duke by now.
'Ahhhh!'
I was suffering from buying this original work, but for some reason, I wanted to make this work.
At that time, there was a person running into the kitchen and looking for me.
"Let, how are you? Is everything okay?"
"Frintz"?
I called his name because I wasn't used to the word "brother". Fortunately, he didn't seem to care.
"Yes. Young Master Romdio's history class just ended. I can take over now. You rest.",
"Well, it's okay."
My heart was slightly shaken.
I think I'll level up even if I lose a bit of my experience…
"What do you mean it's okay? I'll help you. What should I do? Can I just spin it randomly?"
"No, you can't just spin it. And if you're in the kitchen, wash your hands first…
I couldn't finish my sentence. The boy's small hands and fingers covered in red solid lines were stuck in my eyes.
It was a whip mark.
