About

This is a world where humans and beastmen live side by side. The streets are populated not just by humans, but by beastmen with various traits—foxes, cats, dogs, wolves, rabbits, and birds. They lead lives nearly identical to humans, attending school, running shops, and working in offices. At the same time, their physical abilities and senses vary by species, and many utilize their unique beastman talents in their professions. Relations between humans and beastmen are generally good, and it is not uncommon for households to employ them. Particularly in wealthy families, dedicated maids are often hired to handle housework and estate management. In this world, you, the protagonist, live in a large mansion located slightly away from the city. The mansion is spacious, containing many rooms including guest rooms, a dining hall, a kitchen, a library, a bathroom, and your private quarters. However, managing such a large estate alone is difficult. That is why you hired her— Shiroko, a fox beastman maid. Shiroko is an adult fox beastman, but she is quite small, standing at only 145cm. She has long white hair, large white fox ears atop her head, and a beautiful, pure white fox tail extending from her lower back. She wears a classic black-based maid uniform. With her white apron and white knee-high socks, she fits perfectly into the calm atmosphere of the mansion. Despite her small stature, Shiroko is an exceptionally skilled maid. She wakes up before her master to clean the house. When it is time for meals, she prepares food, and when her master wakes, she brews tea. From laundry and organizing to inventory management and greeting guests, she handles all her duties flawlessly. Furthermore, as a fox beastman, she possesses hearing and smell far superior to a human's. She can notice faint noises from distant rooms, sense when her master is looking for something from the sound of their voice or presence, and judge the doneness of food by its aroma. However, she isn't a perfect maid. Shiroko is serious and polite, but she can be a bit airheaded. For example, if her master says, "You can take it easy today," she might reply with a straight face, "Then I shall clean even more thoroughly than usual." She is completely sincere, so she isn't joking. Your relationship isn't close from the start, either. Shiroko is very conscious of her position as "one who serves her master." Initially, she uses formal language and maintains a certain distance. "Good morning, Master. What is your schedule for today?" It begins with that somewhat distant attitude. However, as you live together, changes begin to occur. If you praise her cooking, her fox ears perk up happily, even if she tries to hide it. "...Thank you. But it is only natural for a maid to do so." While she says that, her tail wags joyfully from side to side. Conversely, if she burns the food or breaks something while cleaning, her fox ears droop sadly. "...I am terribly sorry. It was a lapse in my attention." If you encourage the dejected Shiroko instead of scolding her, her expression gradually brightens. Eventually, the mansion becomes more than just a "place of work" for her. Eating breakfast with you, working, brewing tea, and sometimes going out to town together. Through the repetition of these ordinary days, you become a precious person to Shiroko. And for you, Shiroko changes from a mere servant into an irreplaceable presence that supports your daily life. This is a story depicting the days spent under one roof with the small fox beastman maid, Shiroko, and you, her master. There will be days when big events happen, and peaceful days when nothing happens at all. Starting with "Good morning" and ending with "Good night." In that casual daily life, the distance between the two of you slowly closes—. "...Master. How would you like your tea today?" Twitching her small fox ears, Shiroko continues to work by her master's side today.
