Reemployment Life With An Unsociable Untalkative Magician

Ongoing | Yokuu | 2019 released

Such a long title. Hope the fl is smart. That's it. Update (9/9/23) : This was such a pleasant read. Lucille is so mature and capable, she also doesn't poke in other people's business. I was worried about that at first because MCs in shoujo manga tend to be an airhead, clumsy and a damsel in distress. I agree with Deidei on the fact that she gives off older sister energy. Speaking of Deidei, I love that she decided to pursue higher education and grow out of her 'childish' phase learning from the five days experience she had under Lucille's wing. Straight away we can see that she likes Sensei, wanting to talk to him and blushing. When she admits defeat after she saw Lucille putting her hands together before a meal or was it after? Not sure.. That was funny. She is like a younger sister, so adorable. The amount of work that Lucille does is something no mortal man is capable but I loved that Deidei persevered. Sensei being a respectable magician is not surprising but him being the reason that the town specialty came to being was amazing. He could just flick his hands and the problem would be solved yet he decided that the townsmen should be able to continue it and be responsible for their future is commendable. That earned him being called 'Sensei' by the townsmen and a special bond between him and the town. I love how they react to him as well, they looked as if they would pass out when he visited their store and when he complimented their handiwork, the couple praised themselves that their effort was seen and so on. I like Raven as well. He isn't a douchebag who would spill everything about his co-worker to his master yet does the minimum for ensuring his well-being. Also I like how he admitted that seeing Lucille's and their master interaction was the only interesting thing happening in that otherwise boring household and has manners. I also like that he told her that he conducted an investigation on her by hiring detectives and said sorry if she found that creepy. What else? I hate the Master and Mistress but I find them amusing as well tbh. The Mistress called MC a thief yet wasn't even sure if her husband and her cheated (tho I get where she is coming from since she was a servant employed by them). The Master being deluded that Lucille liked him back when she was just doing her job like calling him 'Master', putting a forced smile while serving him, giving him tea when he coughed. The Mistress being flirty with other noblemen while she is worried that her husband might cheat on her. It was confirmed that he divorced her and replaced the servants so he seems to like her more than I expected. Sensei's and Lucille are honestly so wholesome, I like how comfortable they are around each other and care for eo.
