Being a Tsundere Girl's Butler

celebration preparations

"I said! I want him to be my personal butler. Do as I command you, you stupid maid"

"But, young lady, you can't have a personal butler before you turn five."

The pink-haired little girl was alarmed because she knew her father's butler was right, but she persisted. After all, she was just a little girl visiting a town run by her father to learn something from him.

"Ahhahhhhhh, I don't care, I'm turning five tomorrow. Go and find that swordsman if you don't want me to report you to my father."

The tall old butler, wearing a black butler's suit, with white hair and a crescent-shaped white moustache, pretended to reluctantly accept his young mistress's order, got out of his carriage, wrote a letter to his master reporting what had happened here, and handed the letter to a small bird.

After sending the letter, the old butler, his hair all gray, called some servants to him.

"Go and inquire about the swordsman named Yuto that our young lady mentioned."

"Yes, sir."

When all the servants had disappeared, the old butler said to himself.

"This is the first time I have seen our young lady behave so childishly. I hope this man has no bad character or great past so that I can fulfill my young lady's wish."

After a deep sigh, the old butler got into the carriage and told the driver to get moving.

"Where are we going?"

"Have you already forgotten why we are here, young lady? You were commissioned by your father to attend the 517th anniversary celebrations. Before the celebration, you are required to have a brief formal meeting with Mr. Aric Blackwood, who runs the town."

"What am I supposed to say to an old man?"

"We don't need to say anything, young lady, just accept the compliments. After all, this is your first duty as an Ironblood."

"There seems to be nothing to do. Sigh, he can't do anything in this family without me. My dad is lucky to have a gorgeous girl like me. You sent someone to investigate who I told you to, didn't you?"

The old butler heard the little girl sitting across from him praising him as she tossed her cherry blossom hair back with the back of her hand, and he regulated his breathing so as not to have a heart attack from the tsundere girl's adorable demeanor.

"As you ordered, Shizune-sama."

"Hmmh, if it wasn't for him, I'd be dead."

Suddenly feeling wronged, Butler realized for a moment how much the girl in front of him resembled her father, and despite knowing it was unnecessary, he protested against the little girl's words.

"Please don't exaggerate so much, young lady, exaggerations are unbecoming of a nobleman, and that gentleman found you only a few minutes before we did."

"Oh, am I exaggerating? Do you know what those men could have done to me in a few minutes? Your tongue is too long, Alphenzo."

"My apologies, young lady, but if the situation was really as dangerous as you say, you could have used your magic necklace"

"Do you think you're in a position to advise me, Alphenzo?"

In fact, this butler was really in a position to advise him. In this world, a personal butler was considered almost equal to the nobleman he served and had the same authority, because when a nobleman chose a personal butler for himself, they lived together as husband and wife for the rest of their lives. Even officially, the butler and the earl's daughter were of equal nobility, but the little girl didn't know that, and even if she did, it wouldn't make any difference.
