While waiting for Cornelia to come back with the clothes, we start talking about the responsibilities which the elves will take upon them. First and foremost is of course cleaning duty and all aspects connected to it. None of them has anything against working with that so that's quite nice. In the future, we'll also have to deal with the rooms after they are done being used during the service time, which naturally means getting rid of various fluids and other things, but fortunately, they don't seem to mind too. A lot of the cleaning can be achieved with just some magic alone and that's a huge plus.

Roseni and Cinra, the girl with shoulder-long brown hair and the one with waist-long silvery hair, inform us that they don't mind helping with cooking so we decide to place them as Sirgia's assistants. She agrees to that suggestion. This will allow them to learn and practice at the same time, and having someone to help our dwarf chef is definitely good. The rest of the elf girls can just help with setting up the tables, cleaning dishes and doing other stuff that isn't specifically about preparing dishes.

We cover a few other areas and pretty much are done with delegating most of the tasks and responsibilities. Near the end of that discussion, one of the girls asks who should be the one to take care of washing me in the bath or if they should just prepare a rotational schedule.

While the idea instantly evokes some interesting thoughts and fantasies and is very much to my liking, I convince them that something like that is not necessary and they do not have to cover that part of the maids care for their master. Cornelia would definitely kill me if she learned that I made all of the new girls take baths with me literally in less than a day after they arrived here. And I don't think it would matter which side suggested the idea. A few of them seem rather disappointed and I take note of that for the future.

"Well, I guess that would be all for now. Definitely more changes will come while we see how it works out. Speak up whenever you feel like there is a room for improvement somewhere or when you feel like something is giving you a hard time or just doesn't fit well with you, got it?"

They all nod in unison.

"What about me, Master? I don't seem to have that many specific tasks when compared to others. I don't want to feel like I'm being favoured," Elea asks.

Such a good person. Even though it wouldn't have been unexpected for her to have a bit less on her shoulders due to her previous position and role, she still doesn't want to feel special. This tells me a lot about her. No wonder some of the other Elves followed her when she decided to leave the village. She definitely acted the same way back then.

"Don't worry, it's not that I'm trying to be easier on you. Instead, I want you to become the Headmaid, as you are best suited for that position. You performed the duty of a Priestess in the past and also instructed your attendants, yes? So I believe that organizing them and their work is best left in your hands. And you can also pass all the questions, suggestions, information or orders onto them and back since you are the most well-versed in Common amongst your group. It's a good idea to have someone function as a medium while I'm away."

She bows gracefully with a kind smile. "I'll fulfil this duty to my utmost ability, Master."

"I'm sure you will," I switch to Elvish, "but girls, please, do not overwork yourselves. I don't want you to slave around without any room for a break or free time. This is now your home, not just a workplace. You are not just my employees but also our friends and members of this small family. Take good care of yourselves. Can you promise me that?"

I stare intently into the eyes of each of them individually, hoping to convey how serious I am about the previous statements. They all look at each other, nod and smile beautifully.
