00:01Now, Miss Anadol, please, brace yourself for this.
00:05Right, Lord Lambert!
00:06Then, arise, my beast! Souvene Jamali!
00:11Rose Tempest!
00:16Sirius, cast Whirlwind!
00:27Whoa-ho-ho!
00:29Bear's earth magic that controls plants clashed against Anna's wind magic, and they cancelled each other out!
00:36Yeah, just like we were told it would in class.
00:39Have you found the new wand book to your liking, Lord Lambert?
00:44Indeed, Miss Grace. It's just what I imagined. No, even better than that. It's fantastic!
00:50It fits comfortably in the hand, and look here, the spine is amazing!
00:54It was found in a perfect way that makes it easy to keep any page you want open!
01:03Pardon me. Despite being a man of composure, I got overexcited for a moment. My apologies.
01:09Man of composure?
01:10I'm glad to see you're appreciating it so much.
01:14Oh, Meister Vols! Thank you so much for making this!
01:18Don't mention me!
01:18One week has passed since the magic exhibition, and right now, Lambert, Anna, and Prince Lucas are paying a visit
01:25to the Auverne estate.
01:27After seeing Grace's magic fan, Lambert expressed interest in having something similar made for himself. So two weeks ago, we
01:36reached out to Master Vols to have him customize a book.
01:40And today, Lambert has come to pick up the wand book. I also invited Anna, thinking this would be a
01:47good chance to make some progress on their route.
01:49Would you look at the two of them? Although they are opposites in magic due to their wind and earth
01:55skills, their rapport with each other seems to be surprisingly good.
01:59Yeah, that's true. Their contrasting personalities might actually make them a good match, since they naturally offset each other's shortfalls.
02:06So, two opposites can make a nice couple, thanks to their complementary dynamic. Interesting. Anything really is possible. A good
02:14example doesn't come to mind right away, though.
02:16Just look at yourself!
02:39I am...

03:24I'll see you next time.
04:04I'll see you next time.
04:36I'll see you next time.
05:03I'll see you next time.
05:26I'll see you next time.
06:48I'll see you next time.
07:03I'll see you next time.
08:04I'll see you next time.
08:20Come on, come on.
08:22This way, dad.
08:24Fair enough.
08:24I guess I am your parent in a manner of speaking.
08:29But wait, since when have you been able to talk?
08:32And that voice sounds awfully familiar.
08:38Huh?
08:42Huh?
08:45Huh?
08:48Huh?
08:56Grace O'Vern?
09:00So, uh, Grace?
09:02I'm not exactly sure what to say.
09:05Nice to meet you doesn't really feel quite right.
09:08What exactly is our relationship in the first place?
09:14Thinking about it, I still don't know anything about our situation or what we are supposed to be.
09:20But for starters, let's get you out of there.
09:24Staying cooped up in such a dark and foreboding place such as this is not good for your health.
09:41A dream?
09:43Right, uh, good morning.
09:45I hope you slept well, my lady.
09:48Oh, yes.
09:51Hello there, Josette.
09:53Did you have a nightmare or something?
09:56Maybe so.
09:57I'm afraid I don't remember very clearly.
10:00It's all just a blur.
10:02Um, Lady Grace?
10:05Huh?
10:05Ah!
10:06Anna!
10:07What are you doing in that getup?
10:10Have you forgotten, Lady Grace?
10:12Today is the day that I'm supposed to train with your maids!
10:16Hm? Hm? Hm?
10:19That was a dream sequence!
10:21It had to be!
10:24That's the first time we've gotten a scene like this!
10:27Although I'm not sure what the deal is with Grace being stuck in a cage.
10:32It's gotta be an important clue of some kind.
10:35Probably.
10:37I guess this really is a new route!
10:40The beginning of a story that's unique to this world and completely separate from the main plot of L&B!
10:47As I recall, during Anna's first summer vacation storyline, the game only offers two choices.
10:53Where she either stays at the dorms or goes back home to visit her family.
10:57And of course the choice the player makes changes how the romance scenarios unfold!
11:02But now in this version, it's split into a completely different route where Anna stays at the Overn Estate.
11:10And since Anna has all the gifts that come with being the main character, it only takes her a few
11:16days to master every custom of being a high-class lady.
11:19So you wish to go the extra mile and learn about the various duties that my servants fulfill?
11:24I remember you saying that now.
11:27Right!
11:28Alright then.
11:30Well, it is important for her to know, since she'll likely need to employ her own servants in the future.
11:36I suppose this is a sign Anna's becoming aware of that possibility.
11:40You better use this chance to learn all there is to know, because it will certainly come in handy down
11:45the road.
11:46Yes!
11:46I'll do my very best!
11:48All for the day when I serve Queen Grace personally!
11:53Miss Matilda is the only one who is permitted to style Lady Grace's hair.
11:58That leaves us in charge of making sure that the bed gets made.
12:01Great!
12:02Roger that, Chief!
12:03You really don't need to call me that, Anna.
12:06Now, if you don't mind...
12:11Excuse me, Chief.
12:12Josette?
12:14Don't worry, I'm not goofing around.
12:16Hm?
12:17I learned to take this approach from the head maid.
12:20She said to always consider things from our master's perspective.
12:24Unless I lay down like Lady Grace does, I can't assess the firmness of her bed.
12:29Or make sure the ceiling is clear of unwanted problems.
12:32I think I get it.
12:34That's really good to know.
12:36Okay, it's your turn now, Anna.
12:38Right!
12:42Wow, it's so fluffy!
12:45What a wonderful scent!
12:48This is Lady Grace's perfume.
12:50Gosh, it feels like I'm melting in her warm embrace!
12:56Anna!
13:00No problems here!
13:02Okay, then it's time to change the sheets!
13:04Roger that!
13:05I'm starting to worry.
13:07This hurts weird.
13:10I'm Lady Matilda.
13:11Oh, please, don't be so formal.
13:14Well, the Chief...
13:15Huh?
13:15Hmm?
13:16I mean, Josette was telling me...
13:18...that you're the only maid that can style Lady Grace's hair.
13:22Yes, that's right.
13:23Please tell me the secret to making those curls look so fabulous!
13:27It's simple!
13:28I use the native enchantment given to me!
13:31That's neat, I've heard of those before.
13:34It's the special type of magic that Beastkin are born with, right?
13:38Yes!
13:39I've been using mine ever since I was a little girl.
13:42But it's not something I can teach to others, nor can I use other kinds of magic.
13:48Actually, not all of us have the fortune of being born with one.
13:52My enchantment can heat up anything that I hold directly in my hands.
13:58The heat is intense enough to boil water, but not to shoot flames or anything.
14:04I wonder if it's like fire magic.
14:06It is pretty lacking as far as magic's concerned.
14:10But I had a hunch.
14:12I knew this enchantment could prove helpful to somebody!
14:16The first idea that came to my mind was using it for ironing.
14:21I'd heat up an iron with my enchantment and use it to get the wrinkles out of all sorts of
14:26things.
14:27There were many ladies with chic outfits who became my biggest customer base.
14:38Until one day, I was taken in by the Dame of this house.
14:43That's how I started working here at the Auverne Estate, as the maid in charge of ironing.
14:50The pay was good enough that I could afford to keep the bellies of my siblings full.
14:55I owe everything to Duchess Auverne.
15:00Back when she was a toddler, Lady Grace would often visit the maid quarters,
15:04and always watched me iron clothes with such fascination.
15:09Except there was one thing that always bothered me.
15:12Huh?
15:15Um, excuse me, my lady.
15:18I apologize if I'm stepping out of line.
15:21But would it be alright if I helped our young Mademoiselle to update her hairdo?
15:26Huh?
15:27Back home, I always help my younger siblings to style their hair.
15:31Since I can warm and cool locks with my magic to make them curly or straight.
15:35I can do the same for Lady Grace.
15:37Wow!
15:39I absolutely love it!
15:43And ever since that day, I've had the honor of styling Lady Grace's hair.
15:48It even got me a pay raise.
15:50I truly feel blessed for having been born with this wonderful enchantment.
15:56I'm sure magic is only half of it.
15:59It's also because you're a skilled hairdresser.
16:02Yeah, come to think of it, I've never seen Lady Grace yell or get upset with Miss Matilda before.
16:08Not even back when she was really scary.
16:11Oh yes, the Mademoiselle can be strict at times with the other staff.
16:16Hmm.
16:18But she's not the type to get upset without good reason.
16:21And never has been, really.
16:24Oh, we need another round of tea.
16:27I'll warm some up.
16:28Just give me a moment.
16:33So convenient!
16:36Lady Anna!
16:37I am Olive, the Head Maid.
16:39I will instruct you from here on out.
16:41It's a pleasure to meet you!
16:44Let me start by telling you about our employers, the Auverns.
16:48Lady Grace has an elder brother, Lord Adrien, who is studying abroad.
16:52And her mother, Duchess Jacqueline, is currently recuperating at the family villa.
16:58So in other words, the only people living here now are...
17:00Yes, Duke Leopold and Lady Grace remain in the household.
17:04Can you guess how many servants work here in comparison?
17:08Let's see. The mansion is rather large, so I suppose a few dozen?
17:12As of now, roughly over three hundred.
17:15Three hundred?!
17:16The Auvergne estate comprises of not just the mansion, but also the large plot of land it sits on.
17:22Therefore, the servants are split in two groups who either operate in or outside the mansion.
17:27I'll start with those inside.
17:29There's the housekeeping team who takes care of cleaning and laundry.
17:33Since the Duke's residence is used for fundraising parties supporting public funds, the interior must always be kept in pristine
17:40condition.
17:41Next is cooking!
17:42They provide meals for our masters, but also cater to the servants every day.
17:47So it's a very important job.
17:49There's the administration team who conducts business affairs and bookkeeping.
17:53They also have specialists who manage the apparel and cosmetics used by the family.
17:58Outside, we have the gardening team who takes care of the landscaping.
18:01Most of the gardeners live on the property with their families.
18:05By the way, we craftsmen live here with our families, too.
18:08We then have the ranching team who cares for the horses and cows owned by the Duke, as well as
18:13the agricultural team who tends to the vineyard.
18:16So, what do you think now that you've experienced a day in the life of the staff?
18:21I had a lot of fun!
18:22The Duke's grand estate is beyond impressive.
18:26It's more like its own community, rather than just a noble resident.
18:30Whoa! That's so amazing!
18:34As far as I know, there's nothing in the game that actually explains the Duke's estate in this level of
18:39detail.
18:40Which makes sense, because you typically never dedicate that much lore to the family of the villainous.
18:45I already had a sneaking suspicion.
18:48But this isn't just a video game world.
18:51I think it's a real one somewhere in the universe that strongly resembles the game.
18:56Which would mean...
18:58Huh?
18:59My salutations to you ladies.
19:05Did you enjoy your personal tour of the estate, Anna?
19:09Lady Grace! Why are you dressed like that?
19:12Seeing you wear this outfit prompted me to give it a try as well. How is it?
19:16Um, well, you look...
19:19You look terrific.
19:22You look terrific? Huh?
19:25Although that sounds like a pretty generic response.
19:28It seems she picked up on my secret message that a future where Grace becomes Anna's servant is plausible.
19:34She exudes elegance that makes her look stunning in any outfit!
19:38Lady Grace is a fashion genius! She truly looks terrific!
19:43I must ask...
19:45How did watching the servants of the Auverne estate at work make you feel?
19:49Huh?
19:50Perhaps you thought, it's beyond excessive for a single family to have over 300 people serving at their every need.
19:57Or something similar.
19:59Hmm...
20:04Hmm...
20:04Well, I won't deny...
20:07That it came as a shock when I first heard of it.
20:12However...
20:13Say, Josette, you're a new maid in training, aren't you?
20:17Huh?
20:17In other words, you've been learning how to do the job ever since you came here, right?
20:22Yes, that's right! Let me see...
20:25I've learned how to work and read, and also how to write and properly handle money!
20:30That's great!
20:31So basically...
20:33This estate is not only a place where servants can work for a decent wage, but it's also a school
20:39where the younger servants can learn how to live!
20:43Furthermore...
20:43M'lady, although the parties held in the mansion and gardens may seem like lavish entertainment to the commoners of
20:49the town, they are actually a fundamental part of the Duke's job to enrich our society.
20:54The Duke fosters a sense of community by employing a great number of servants, who then earn the money needed
21:00to support their families!
21:02And it all comes together like its own tiny kingdom!
21:06That's the impression I got.
21:16What a wonderful answer to my question.
21:19You are very wise beyond your age to be able to view things from such a broad perspective.
21:25It was worth inviting you to come here.
21:29The day will come when you stand among nobility, and better the lives of everyone with your influence!
21:37Thank you so much!
21:38I promise to put my best foot forward, and refine my skills until they're good enough to display in high
21:44society!
21:45I want to be of service to many people!
21:48Great! I look forward to it!
21:52Feast your eyes!
21:54Even the sunset is blessing you with fortune!
21:58Yes! Thanks, Lady Grace!
22:00Look at that old-fashioned flair!
22:03There's no way this world isn't a Tomei game!
22:37Chooni game pre-tele l
22:38Take your body, take your body, take your heart until you go to the heart.
22:43Yeah!
22:45Matsuken Summer!
22:47Olé, olé!
22:53Matsuken Summer!
22:56I'm a curse your amigo!
22:59I'm a curse your friend!
22:59I'm a curse your friend!
22:59I'm a curse your friend!
23:00I'm a curse your friend!
23:12Matsuken Summer!
23:16Olé!
23:22You know, Dad looks way more geriatric than a 52-year-old should.
23:26He's aging like milk.
23:28There's not many people in their 50s rocking that balding barcode, dude.
23:31Yeah, but there's actually a good reason behind his hairstyle.
23:34Oh, really? What is it?
23:36I can't tell you yet. You'll find out when the time is right.
23:39Hot damn!
23:40Otaku's live for foreshadowing like that!
