Chapter 165. The Maids’ Conversation

Disguised as servants, Kazane-san and I continued our search within the mansion.

However, there were quite a few rooms to explore.

We prioritized investigating suspicious places such as Goldo’s bedroom and his office.

But so far, we haven’t found anything significant.

“It seems we can’t find anything. We might have to search every room thoroughly. But how do we look for something that could be hidden rooms?”

“Hush. Daichi-kun, there are two people ahead in the next room. Maybe it’s the kitchen?”

As we walked down the corridor, Kazane-san caught my attention.

We proceeded closer, and as we peered into the room from the hallway, it indeed appeared to be the kitchen.

Two women dressed in maid uniforms were busy with cooking tasks, such as peeling vegetables.

One of them was a young woman, and the other was older.

Kazane-san and I concealed ourselves in the corridor near the kitchen and decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The young maid spoke up, addressing the older one.

“Um, I might get scolded for asking this, but can I inquire about something strange? Earlier, a large, adventurer-looking man with a bundled-up package made of blankets and ropes carried it into the storage room, and Goldo-sama was with him. Is that…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the older maid abruptly covered her mouth with her hand.

The older maid glanced around nervously, causing Kazane-san and me to hastily hide our heads.

Seemingly unaware of our presence, the older maid heaved a sigh of relief.

“Honestly… You mustn’t speak so carelessly. You never know what could happen if you pry into matters that don’t concern you. If you end up working here in Goldo-sama’s mansion, you will witness many things. However, keep them all to yourself. Unless you’re willing to give up the generous pay and want to live in fear of something, that is.”

“Uh, I understand.”

“Your job is to learn quickly and perform it flawlessly every day. Just focus on that. It’s for your good.”

“Yes.”

Afterward, the two maids continued their conversation while continuing with their cooking tasks.

It seemed there wouldn’t be any more significant findings.

Kazane-san and I exchanged nods and moved away from the scene.

“Storage room, right? Daichi-kun, do you remember the location?”

“No, I’m afraid I don’t.”

I hid in the shadows and retrieved a piece of paper from the pocket of my butler uniform.

Before infiltrating here, Aria-san had drawn a rough floor plan and handed it to me, relying on my previous memory from our previous incursion. , Kazane-san and I headed towards the storage room using that map as a guide.

Eventually, we reached the door of our target room.

According to Kazane-san’s [Presence Detection], there were no signs of people beyond the door.

I carefully opened the door and peered inside.

It was indeed a storage room, with various items like large rugs and miscellaneous objects placed along the walls.

At first glance, there were no human figures.

The central part of the room had a spacious area with no items placed on the floor, but it didn’t look like just a walkable space.

“Daichi-kun, look at this.”

“Indeed. Most likely, there’s a carpet covering this area to hide it.”

In the center of the room’s floor, there was a square frame, about one meter by one meter, which appeared to be a trapdoor.

Beneath it, there had to be a basement or something similar.

Kazane-san and I changed our costumes again, switching to our seeker gear.

Then, we grasped the handle of the trapdoor and slowly lifted it.

We saw a stone staircase leading down into darkness when we opened the trapdoor.

Kazane-san and I exchanged determined glances before descending the stairs.
