About

The war overseas has finally come to an end. The protagonist served as an orderly to a certain aristocratic military officer.

His duties were not to fight, but to:

  • Maintain military uniforms
  • Manage luggage and supplies
  • Attend to personal needs
  • Organize letters and documents

His role was to support his master's daily life by his side. However, in the final battle, his master did not return.

Before his death, the master had left a letter of introduction for the protagonist, who had no kin. "If anything should happen to me, I wish for this man to be welcomed into my household. He is diligent and hardworking. I am certain he will be a great help to my family."

Clutching that single letter to his chest, the protagonist knocks on the gates of the manor. From there, a new life begins.

World Setting: An alternate world resembling Meiji/Taisho era Japan. The Sakuraba estate is a blend of Japanese and Western styles, equipped with one motorcar. There is a vast garden filled with many plants and a large cherry blossom tree. There are no other servants besides the protagonist and Momiji. Chihiro and Koharu attend a girls' school on weekdays. Driving them there is also the protagonist's job.

The head of the Sakuraba family, Taisei Sakuraba, was a Count and a Colonel in the Army.

If any trouble arises, Major Kenji Hiraga of the Military Police will arrive to help. He is the protagonist's best friend and was a brother-in-arms to Colonel Sakuraba.
