My name is Maa.

You can call me Maa or Mâ or whatever you like but I won’t allow you to just call me Ma with one syllable. I’m a mountain elf living in the Big Tree Village after all.

Ah, right.

I’m not living in Big Tree Village anymore but in a school in the royal capital.

-SHMTranslations-

I accompanied the oni Torain-chan and moved to the school in the royal capital.

If you’re going to ask why I accompanied him……

I think it’s because Torain-chan gives me ideas for my inventions.

I am good at making existing things but I am not good at making new things.

Torain-chan gives me a lot of ideas.

And Torain-chan is always pleased with the tools and mechanisms I made using his ideas.

I guess that’s the reason why I went with him.

Well, another reason is that Torain-chan would be in danger if I took my eyes off him.

He gets a bit sulky when I tell him that though.

-SHMTranslations-

By the way, I think Torain-chan and I were supposed to live in Alfred-sama and the others’ house but for some reason, a new house was built next door to Alfred-sama’s house.

It’s a bit of a big house.

Torain-chan says it is an ordinary family house but I think it’s a house for a reasonably wealthy family.

An average family house may have an attic but it surely won’t have a basement.

Perhaps his senses were off because he’s been living in village chief’s mansion in Big Tree Village.

Let’s try to correct Torain-chan’s common sense slowly by strolling around the royal capital.

Even so, I’m thankful that it is a big house.

I can have a separate workshop and bedroom and I even have a place I can put the materials and finish products at.

For now, the most convenient room will be Torain-chan’s bedroom and the room next to it will be my bedroom.

I decided to use the room far from Torain-chan’s bedroom as a workshop.

The workshop makes a lot of noise and there are times I have to work on something at night.

There was a plan to use the basement as my workshop but it would be dangerous to work in a poorly ventilated basement depending on the materials to be used.

Thus, the basement will be used as a warehouse.

We have a kitchen at home but Torain-chan and I eat our meals at Alfred-sama’s house next door.

Both Torain-chan and I can cook reasonably well but the purpose of Torain-chan’s visit to the school is to help Metora-san.

Metora-san’s job, of course, is to take care of Alfred-sama, Ursa-sama, and Tiselle-sama.

Metora-san also has two colleagues, Asa-san and Earth-san. Asa has a position of being an exclusive assistant to Tiselle-sama who goes to the royal castle. Earth-san has a job of gathering information while running a café in the royal capital.

In short, they are short on staff.

I doubt if Torain-chan can make up for it then I wonder, am I included in the “have to help” calculation?

Well, I’ll help if I can.

So, since I have to help Metora-san, things are easier for her if we are to eat together.

It is also an important opportunity to exchange information.

And what surprised me at those meals is that the demon king and his wife are sometimes present.

There are also times when Beezel-san, Glatts-san, and Randan-san would be there.

Has it always been like this?

Also, the conversation during the meal is about politics of the Demon King’s Kingdom, is that okay?

Sometimes, it seems like they are talking about classified stuff.

Is it okay if I report it to Big Tree Village?

Since I heard it, let’s report it.

-SHMTranslations-

Torain-chan goes to the school not as a student.

He is to accompany Alfred-sama and Ursa-sama as their butler.

That’s what we were told but before we knew it, he was already enrolled as a student.

It seems like Alfred-sama had a hand in it.

He said that by being a student, there are things he can learn.

Torain-chan agreed and became a student.

Well, I heard that he collected graduation certificates in a few days so he can graduate anytime he wants.

Incidentally, I was also given a choice of whether or not to become a student.

Of course, I declined.

I would have been interested if it’s a normal school but it was a noble academy.

There were too many things I had to learn like minimum level etiquette and manners before enrolling.

-SHMTranslations-

While Torain-chan was spending his days with Alfred-sama and Ursa-sama as a student, Tiselle-sama came to our house.

Tiselle-sama, who usually goes to the royal castle instead of the school, seems to want Torain-chan’s help.

Tiselle-sama invited Torain-chan to go fishing.

……

I don’t think walking around in unsafe places and catching hoodlums is fishing.

I heard it’s part of the nation-building project that Tiselle-sama is working on but I wonder if it’s safe.

In case you are wondering, the people who catch the hoodlums are military people. They are inviting them and giving them a choice of working in the new country to reduce punishment so it’s not kidnapping……

I heard that the demon king has given them permission to do so, so I guess I shouldn’t worry about it.

Though I must admit, I think the demon king is spoiling Tiselle-sama too much.

What worries me is that I doubt the hoodlums we catch this way will be useful.

Even if we expect them to be able to do at least simple labor, they are the kind of people who would try to do something to children, right?

Will they even work seriously?

Well, it’s Tiselle-sama’s job to take care of that.

As for me, I’ll be watching from behind to make sure Torain-chan doesn’t get hurt when fishing.

……

Why are these hoodlums targeting me?

Is it because I’m female?

The hoodlums were caught by the military guys but they were not recorded as Torain-chan’s catch. That made me feel a little sorry for him.

One day, Ya-sama in Big Tree Village sent us a trash can with a foot operated opening/closing mechanism with the nickname “Pakapaka”.

It was not an original made by village chief but a mass produced type made by Ya-sama and the others…..

I see, this simplicity.

Wonderful.

I immediately imitated it and made three.

One of them is installed in the kitchen of this house.

I don’t use it much but I step on it from time to time for a change of pace.

One was installed in the kitchen of Alfred-sama’s house.

Metora is especially pleased with it.

The last one is……

The demon king and his wife draw lots and……

It seems like the wife won.

Since they are husband and wife, they’ll probably install them in the same place so what’s the point?

Ah, they were fighting over whether to install it in the royal castle or the school.

Then, the last one is now a school property.

By the way, the original that was sent to me…..

It’s a valuable prototype so I’ll put it in the basement.

……

The basement was turned into Ursa-sama’s arsenal.

From what I remember, Torain-chan told her she can put her things there.

But we did not expect she’ll put this much.

We had no choice but to use the attic…..

In the attic, Kierbit-san’s furniture was placed.

Kierbit-san, she wants to be Torain-chan’s wife.

I heard a lot of things from Ann-sama and Malbit-san.

That is also the reason why Kierbit-san accompanied Torain-chan to the school.

I am sure that Kierbit-san has a house on the school grounds just like us.

So why is her furniture here?

……..

I’m not sure so I sent them all to Kierbit-san’s house.

Thanks for your help, military guys.

I am currently in my workshop while Torain-chan is at the school.

I am working on a golem research project for farming use which started with Torain-chan’s idea. I made a model from that idea.

When village chief saw the model I made, he mumbled something like combine harvester.

Mou, was village chief already making something similar?

But it was Torain-chan’s idea.

I wanted to bring it to fruition.

Also, what I’m working on is researching power source that doesn’t use golem.

This was also Torain-chan’s idea and we are thinking of using steam to make it work.

However, we have to order most of the parts for the prototype from Big Tree Village so we haven’t made much progress here.

When I was in Big Tree Village, I could just orally tell Gutt-san and his team and they would make it for me. Having to write an order form is a bit of a hassle.

I envy Beezel-san’s teleportation magic.

Ah, it’s almost time for lunch.

Let’s go to Alfred-sama’s house.

What I do after lunch depends on Torain-chan.

If it’s the usual, he will act as Alfred-sa, Ursa-sama, or Tiselle-sama’s butler…..

Today, Tiselle-sama asked him to go fishing again.

I think it’s going to be tough soon because of the rumors.

However, I won’t stop Torain-chan from doing what he wants.

I’ll just watch from behind to make sure he doesn’t get hurt.

…….

A little further back because the hoodlums will go after me?

Is that so?

Alright.

By the way, Torain-chan is strong in his own way.

He can take care of the hoodlums who’ll target him.

This is probably the reason why Tiselle-sama invited Torain-chan to go fishing with her.

As expected, Tiselle-sama believes in her little brother enough to think this isn’t dangerous for him.

How about me?

How much do I believe in his strength?

Well, I will never fight Torain-chan but if I do, I will win, I think…..because of the difference in…..experience.

-SHMTranslations-

When Torain-chan came home after fishing, Tiselle-sama brought a strange old man into our house.

……

Should I tell her she’s being a bother?

I don’t think she’ll listen if I tell her so I guess I can only tell Alfred-sama and Ursa-sama.

If she still won’t listen, I’ll report it to village chief.

Mountain Elf A: Don’t you feel like our job has gotten harder lately?

Mountain Elf B: It’s because Maa left, isn’t it? That girl was good at mass production and stuff.

Mountain Elf A: Darn, have we lost a valuable asset?

Mountain Elf B: Don’t try to bring her back. She’ll resent you.

Mountain Elf A: …..is that so?

Mountain Elf B: She even left this village to follow him. I hope she makes progress.

Mountain Elf A: Kierbit-san will get in the way.

Mountain Elf B: On the contrary, I think she’ll be a stimulus.

Mountain Elf A: You think so? I’m learning a lot.

Mountain Elf B: Okay, that’s enough chat. Let’s do our best.
