The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

yes were at the same level.
Then, he began asking in a gentle tone, “Sorry to interrupt all of a sudden.
I’m Daisy’s father… Miss, did your father and mother both pass away in this fight?”

“…Mhm.
Mina’s papa and mama eloped and became adventurers, so I have no one left in my family…”

Then, Mina’s emotions got worked again and she began to cry.
Father just gently patted Mina’s back.

“Does Mina have anywhere to go?” Father asked Mina gently.

Mina shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Mark and Letia also had their heads hung.

‘…Mina, let me take a quick look,’ I apologized from my heart for taking the liberty of confirming, and looked at her with ‘Appraisal’.

I secretly whispered to Father, “She doesn’t have a history worth mentioning.
Also, she has a talent for housework, especially cooking.”

“Mmm,” Father just nodded.

“Mina, if this continues, you will have to go to an orphanage, or find a way to live by yourself.
Thus, if you are fine with it, how about staying with us for the time being, while you decide what your future plans will be? If you can do some housework or something or that sort, you can become a maid in our house, and in the future, you can work beside my daughter Daisy when she becomes independent.
If you don’t want to do that, we can help you find a place to work.
How about it?”

Mark and Letia’s expressions brightened at Father’s suggestion and they looked relieved.
Mina was bewildered, not knowing how to respond to the sudden proposal.

“I’m Henry von Preslaria.
A legitimate noble serving the king of this country.
Your father and mother are heroes who gave their lives for this country.
I would never harm the children of such people.
I will never harm you, the child of such people.
Until you decide what to do from now on, you can be at ease at my house.
No need to hold back.”

Mina looked at Mark and Letia’s expression.
They nodded their heads in agreement.
Maybe she was feeling slightly relieved, the tail between Mina’s legs, which was drooping down, slightly rose.

“I… don’t know anything… about etiquette at all, but I will do my best to learn.
So, please take care of me,” she bowed to Father.

Father patted Mina’s head, then Mina revealed a smile.

Father and I brought Mina back to our house.
