The Game Rune System

Chapter 51: Narashi Promoted

"Narashi has been displaying commendable attitude and his work has no equal. From today onward, he is my assistant and second in charge." The head maid pushed her glasses as she announced the promotion.

One of the servants named Narashi just got promoted after six months of diligent work. This was really surprising as it was not easy to get promotion in the servant circle.

After all, such people had to be thoroughly checked before.

The best example would be head maid. She is in contact with every servant and has a lot of influence through the noble household that Tetsuya was currently under for. If she were to be a spy or someone with a greedy heart, then no one else other than a noble descendant would be able to stop her.

So people who got any promotion also had to be checked.

How such procedure works was not known by any servant and they had a lot of questions to Tetsuya, but he was already close to the head maid which was a bummer for them.

They couldn't possibly ask him right now!

"He has changed so much! But it's true Everything he touches becomes easy for him and he just needs a little time to perfect it." One of the servants uttered.

"His attitude changed and he pays respect to everyone older and stronger than him, so it's no wonder he got that promotion. I wish I had some talent like him!" The talks continued to slither through the row of servants, then everyone scattered to work.

Left alone with the head maid, Tetsuya kept his silence behind her. Her eyes soon greeted him and he raised his face, "Narashi. You should introduce yourself to Milady Yuhi." It was time for Tetsuya to broaden his horizons. It was also the obvious next step for him who became the head maid's assistant.

"Understood." Tetsuya just nodded, then followed the haid maid whose lips went up in content.

There were many families in Yulia Household.

Only the users of Romantic Swordsmanship could use the Yulia surname, though. Even Henryk's own descendants had to take their mother's surnames if their bodies couldn't practice Romantic Swordsmanship Rune.

Knowing how this rune works, Tetsuya expected this land to be filled with thousands or even more families as not everyone was related to Henryk.

This man had many friends here and their descendants had some connections, but it was not that thick compared to families related to him.

Nonetheless, it seemed like the whole system was flawless. Every servant had proper house and work. Noble descendants had their own runes to develop and focus on All other facilities were likewise fueled by smart people.

And if something was lacking, then one also could 'snatch' people from Mystic Academy.

"Milady Yuhi is a smart woman blessed with strong wits and calmness." The head maid spoke merrily about her gentle mistress with revered expression. Each of her word was laced with respect and this was all said so that Tetsuya wouldn't think of anything stupid.

Was it because he used to throw a tantrum on a daily basis? Yes.

But the head maid also had to give a little more information than what was known on the paper, "Milady Yuhi's sword rune is Calm River Rune. You should never ever raise your voice within her presence!"

"Don't worry about me, head maid." Tetsuya reassured, "Milady Yuhi's swordsmanship greatly excels yours, doesn't it?" How could he ask something so obvious?

The head maid just let out faint laughter, "Of course."

"Then, I can only pray. Just a glimpse at her swordsmanship should raise my understanding. If I could clash my sword with hers-"

"Milady Yuhi might invite you to a spar, but don't take my words as granted." He was merely a promoted servant after all.

The duo of maid and servant quickly arrived in an area that no servant should ever stomp on. The beautiful man-made river flowed slowly beneath the colorful lives and one could see little leaves mischievously dancing atop those.

Following the pathway in the quiet atmosphere, Tetsuya finally found himself before Milady Yuhi's house. The river silently passed through the fence while he and head maid waited for another servant to greet them.

After a small exchange between the head maid and butler, Tetsuya soon stepped into the house. A potent fragrance of perfume assaulted his nostrils, then being pulled by this smell Tetsuya approached the door leading to the office.

Here, Milady Yuhi was laying on the sofa with her red dress. Her hand held a thick book, her eyes going up and down relatively quickly. She had a small table with a cup of red wine next to herself.

She was a gorgeous woman with black hair and red eyes.

It's often said that red can awaken various 'explosive' emotions, but Tetsuya could only see calm sea within those. Even if it would be a sea of blood, he would find those eyes serene and beautiful.

If it were his old self, then he certainly would enrage those and bring the calamity upon yourself.

Even if Milady Yuhi was not as strong as Henryk, her experience and strength still outclassed Tetsuya and her rank was within top ten of the whole Yulia Household. Her small hands were nothing, but the powerful weapon that wielded even stronger one.

"Pardon us for interrupting your reading, Milady Yuhi." The head maid bowed. She sounded really apologetic, but her heart beat with content as Tetsuya bowed along with her.

He leaned down as soon as she showed utmost respect.

Her eyes then glanced at Milady Yuhi who slowly spoke, "You were forgiven the moment I accepted your coming. Is this the newly promoted servant?"

"Yes." The head maid turned her eyes to Tetsuya.

He immediately followed, "My name's Narashi. I will be working directly under the head maid. Your command is my will."

The red eyes scanned through Tetsuya with piercing light. It seemed like those eyes belonged to a predator for a while and the calm and unusual Tetsuya could stop himself from flinching.

Now that he ended up in the den full of monsters, Tetsuya just wished for his game rune to reappear, so that he could properly build his experience with it.

"Narashi's skills have been outshining every other servant and I myself lost count of how much I had been shocked by him. I believe Narashi is competent enough to work in Milady Yuhi's house." The head maid just spoke all these words to please her mistress. She also didn't want this visit to be like 'waste of time' so Narashi's ego had to be stroked a little.

What she did not expect was that Milady Yuhi's eyes found something else within Tetsuya's body.

The mistress words' shocked both of them, "Narashi will be working in my house from now on."

"..."

"..."

Today was the day where Tetsuya just got promoted.

However, his promotion just broke the common sense and he rose rather too high! In a mere hour, Tetsuya's status became higher than that of that head maid and she could no longer look at him with the same eyes.

This news will also shock other servants as well!

For a second, the head maid realized that Tetsuya's tantrums weren't that meaningless at all.

Maybe his talent was actually something else
