Taking her first step into this massive establishment, Megumi could only stare up in wide-eyed bewilderment. This incredibly large building housed within it the exact essence of the rich life, back in the medieval era. Huge chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, tall stone pillars holding up the building, going at least 50 feet up, and all different sorts of eloquent paintings and dressings that Megumi could only imagine were painted in fine portraits from the same era. The greatest painters in all of society would only be able to make this place seem like it were real in their arts. Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and only a few other influential painters, those names all came to mind of those whose ability to mimic something of this quality came to mind. She was about to take a few more steps inside, when before she knew it, she was being addressed by three maids, full in uniform, came her way and smiled. They all bowed to her graciously.
"Right this way, Lady Megumi." They all said, in unison. Raising their heads, they looked to the Swashbuckler and began to move through the house. Unable to do much else, Megumi decided that she would go ahead and follow the ladies to their destination. Making their way through the building, her eyes kept drifting all around, trying to see everything that here was to see. What she couldn't believe was the fact that it was all so ornate and decorated, to a point where she couldn't even possibly fathom. So this is what it was like to be rich in this world, was it? The woman could only wonder, her eyes still scanning the surrounding area in awe, at how much this place alone would have cost. It didn't do her much good, anyways, since she likely wouldn't have this kind of money, unless she were able to amass a large enough work force to gather her own fortune with. Either way, she was being lead into a rather large foyer-type room, and as luck would have it, she wasn't the only one there.
Other expert-looking people were sitting there in the foyer, all having huge, comfy chairs to sit in. She immediately felt all kinds of pressure put onto herself, as it seemed like more than half of them could out-cook her in a heartbeat. The purpose of her being here was that she had picked up a flier for someone who was throwing a large party, which required both proper attire for the guests and food that would leave the guests happy and full. She decided that she would go ahead and throw her hat in the cap, since it wouldn't hurt to do something like this in order to get both a decent amount of gold, as well as a good deal of experience working in a kitchen in this world. Having been used to cooking her own exquisite meals back in the real world, she felt that maybe she would have a decent shot at doing so here, in this world as well. However, with the people that now surrounded her, she could only wonder if her previous experience from so long ago would be of much, if any, use to her, now that she was here.
The maids stopped and turned around, nodding to Megumi. One gestured to a large, comfortable armchair just before her, and spoke. "Please have a seat until the Master is ready to test you." Her heart sank just a little bit, at the mentioning of there being a test. Settling into the chair slowly, she brought her leg over the other, and proceeded to clasp her hands together, placing them atop her now elevated knee. She tried her hardest to not let off an aura of being concerned, as the other people in the building seemed to be silently conversing with one another about what kinds of food and clothing they would be making. Some people seemed to even be getting into an argument about what food would be best. If this was the kind of competition she was up against, then she would likely have a hard time even getting a foot in the door. She simply let out a soft sigh, letting the air escape her mouth slowly, and she closed her eyes, trying to focus. Maybe she was in trouble, or maybe she wasn't. All would be told in time, whenever the Master of the estate arrived. For now, Megumi kept calm, and loosened her muscles. She needed to seem professional, if she was to even get a chance.
