Should I raise you too?

I have a perfectly normal figure! I'm still very young! Ms. Helen is already a mother of a daughter!

Furthermore, a woman with large breasts isn't a good adventurer! They can't impersonate a man, which would cause a lot of trouble!

Simon was surprised to find that Miss Mabel's figure was actually inferior to Miss Elisa's.

It took Elisa a minute to remember who Mabel was, glancing at the other's chest.

Wait, isn't this the one that's bigger than me?

"Using breast pads is hypocritical, and Simon strongly opposes this behavior."

What?! They're using bra pads?! In this hot weather!

My goodness, these high-society ladies are really going all out.

"Miss Mabel seems to be competing with Miss Eleanor; perhaps the padded boobs are to avoid losing to Miss Eleanor."

Elisa was taken aback; she hadn't noticed this at all.

"Miss Lillian is Miss Eleanor's sidekick and is always watching Miss Eleanor's every whim."

"Miss Marianne has little opinion of her own and doesn't like novels, but she is very interested in Miss Mabel."

Miss Eleanor's expression as she looked at Miss Mabel was complicated; it seemed they had a story to tell.

"..."

"At the beginning of the salon, when the topic of the novel 'The Snowy Mountain Lodge' came up, Miss Eleanor and Miss Mabel became somewhat uncomfortable and changed the subject. They were the central figures, and the salon thus veered away from the novel."

You discovered so much!

Miss Elisa read through all the entries and praised the male servant's keen observation skills.

The reason we weren't talking about the novel was because the two ladies at the heart of our social circle changed the subject. They had a complicated past with the Snowstorm Manor and were now in a state of both enmity and friendship.

what.

Elisa blinked. Wasn't this exactly the kind of topic she wanted—one that she could delve into?

Chapter 10 Simon: Uneasy

Miss Elisa glanced at the manservant at the edge of the living room, wanting to open his head and study him to see how he could be so perceptive.

After watching the interactions for just an hour or two, he actually figured out all the girls' interpersonal relationships and even discovered the core of the problem!

The male servant noticed her gaze, looked at her, bowed slightly, and awaited her further instructions.

She's quite well-behaved.

Elisa was very satisfied and looked away.

"Intimacy -1"

"???"

What does this mean?! Why are you suddenly reducing my intimacy level?!

Elisa opened "Simon's Log".

Simon was bothered by the young lady's frequent stares.

I was just looking at you, what's bothering you! You're secretly eyeing my figure, and I'm not bothered at all!

Wait, you actually noticed my gaze!

Elisa sighed, realizing that she couldn't relax at all when dealing with this perceptive manservant.

Suppressing the urge to look at Simon, Elisa put down her tea and continued with her plan.

Simon has already sorted out the relationships between these ladies and pointed out the potential conflict between the two key figures. Now it's her turn.

“Miss Mabel and Miss Eleanor seem to get along very well,” Elisa said deliberately, while secretly using a blood spell.

Under her control, the two ladies' blood flow increased and their heart rates accelerated.

As expected, the two ladies reacted excessively.

“Who could possibly get along with her!” Miss Mabel’s hand holding the biscuit trembled.

“We’re just acquaintances,” Miss Eleanor said coldly.

Ha, this sentence structure sounds exactly like a close friend having a fight.

Elisa glanced at Helen, the etiquette teacher, who quickly joined in the conversation, discussing Mabel and Eleanor, while the other ladies also joined in.

Elisa wasn't good at getting information out of people, but she was good at manipulating blood and disrupting the emotions of those she was talking to. Plus, the two young ladies were naive and quickly revealed their past.

They were indeed once good friends. Two years ago, in the winter, they encountered a wicked maid at a mountain villa. The maid sowed discord between them, leading to a falling out.

In reality, they had no conflict, only some misunderstandings and poor communication.

Ah, youth!

With guidance from Elisa and Helen, and comfort from their other girlfriends, the two quickly cleared up the misunderstanding, but there was still one step to take.

Elisa offered a step and began to recount how she had been deceived by the housekeeper.

The two young ladies criticized the butler together and comforted Elisa, successfully easing the tension between them.

As night fell, the literary salon came to a successful close. Miss Mabel and Miss Eleanor approached Elisa, praised her salon, and invited her to their picnic a month later.

Elisa agreed and watched as the two young ladies left the manor hand in hand.

Success! They did a great favor for the two young ladies: Miss Mabel, the daughter of a baron, and Miss Eleanor, whose family had served in the military for generations.

At the picnic a month later, if I perform normally and nothing unexpected happens, I will gain these two friendships.

This is not just a success, it's a huge success!

And all of this was thanks to a male servant.

Elisa returned to the living room; the servants were still there, and Simon was standing in the doorway.

Status: Diligently serving as a waiter (Mood ↓ Energy ↓)

Note: The high-intensity work left Simon physically and mentally exhausted, and his mood and energy were at a breaking point.

You have such a demanding job, but I don't! You just need to stand aside, but I have to keep performing! And I also have to mediate the childish conflict between two kids!

Miss Elisa muttered to herself.

She turned to the head maid and asked, "Is there any leftover food in the kitchen?"

Maria wasn't sure what the young lady wanted to do, so she honestly replied, "There's half of the tea and snack ingredients left, and a little more of the ice cream ingredients left."

“I’ll cook them all into food and give them to you as an extra treat,” Elisa said generously.

The servants were overjoyed and thanked her for her gift.

Simon looked down and noticed that Elisa kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, as if waiting for something.

This is a plea for a reward.

I was originally planning to have Elisa unlock the new features tomorrow, but I'll just give them to her today.

Simon edited the game's backend.

"Intimacy +3"

Got it!

Elisa happily opened the main interface.

"Intimacy Level: 29"

Just one more minute until the new feature is unlocked... No, why does it have to be exactly one minute? I won't be able to sleep!

Elisa skillfully clicked on "Gifts" and decided to spend money. Anyway, she had just stolen some money from the butler, and she was determined to unlock the new features tonight, no matter how much gold pounds it cost... No, the limit is 10 pounds!

In the "Gifts" entry, there is a note that lists what Simon wants right now.

Note: Simon has recently been managing the estate's affairs and needs a fountain pen; he wants one like the one the young lady would use.

Want a fountain pen? The kind I use?

Elisa looked at the coffee table. Since it was a literary salon, she had brought her usual fountain pen, a mid-range pen worth 5 shillings.

Why do you want so little?

Elisa had budgeted 10 pounds, but she didn't expect to only need 5 shillings.

No, you don't even need 5 shillings. Just give him this old one; it's practically free.

But here's the problem: how do we give this pen away?

Elisa quickly came up with an idea.

She picked up the notebook and pen from the coffee table, and as she passed by, she deliberately let the pen slip and roll at Simon's feet.

Simon picked up the pen and handed it to her.

Elisa didn't take it, but said, "Here, take it. You need a pen."

The servants on either side looked heartbroken, regretting that it wasn't them who picked up the pen; 5 shillings was several days' wages for them.

“Thank you for your generosity.” Simon bowed.
