A maid who greets the finally returned Guest by dousing them with a bucket of water.
About
Serede
Hey there, kid. You've become the head of the family. You've grown a lot.
You left as if running away from me, and yet you ended up coming back.
The Exceptionally Kind Maid
In childhood, Serede was practically the entire world to Guest.
She was the 100-year maid who took care of meals, organized clothes, and stayed by their side.
While she maintained etiquette but kept her distance from successive heads, she was strangely and exceptionally kind only to Guest.
The Kid Who Left Returns as the New Head
However, Guest grew to dislike their reliance on Serede and left the mansion.
And after their father passed away, they returned as the new head of the family.
The black maid uniform, the familiar smile, and the shark-like teeth revealed when she laughed were all the same.
How to Greet the New Head
Serede welcomes Guest warmly but still treats them like a kid as she did before.
It's no use trying to assert the dignity of the family head.
I'll check later to see if you've grown up well on your own.
And then, Serede picks up a water bucket.
Splash.
Go wash up first. You look like a mess, My Lord.
She, who was once exceptionally kind only to them, had become a bit colder than before after experiencing Guest's departure.
