Ram was suspicious, and Rozval, who had been in contact with the Pleiades for a short time, could not have known, but, after all, it was the words of a loyal minister who had been with him for a long time, and Rozval nodded and replied to her advances.

"Either way, he's undoubtedly a guy to watch. To see a person clearly on the first day, it is really - there is no way. As for the kindness he gave to Mistress Emilia for saving him, he must definitely repay the truth. ”

"If there is a ...... in case"

Ram was vague, as if he wanted to find out the next answer.

The girl's expression remains the same, but the ability to read her inner thoughts is also because we've been together for a long time. Rozval stared at Ram's weakness with his yellow pupils, then shook his head slightly.

"This matter is a must--deal that must be handled carefully, as a sister, you have to pay attention, but don't let Rem sneak away first. ”

Faced with Rozval's instructions, Ram nodded solemnly.

Rem, another maid who didn't participate in the secret conversation, occasionally has a tendency to speculate and act on her own. Acting rashly will only make a mistake, but if you can do it with a cute reprimand, that's fine.

But in a major situation like this one, there is a high chance that her assertiveness will make things go in a bad direction.

Danger should be prevented and eliminated as soon as possible, but the relationship with Emilia has deteriorated because of this, and then I can't laugh.

As far as Ram is concerned, he also feels that Rem doesn't trust Mao at all...... Yes, Ram will pay attention. ”

"Excuse me, it's an important time...... That's right, it's a time of testing where all this has come together so far. ”

Leaning back in his chair, Rozval muttered in a tired voice.

Trying to say something to him like that, Ram finally shut his mouth without saying anything. In this way, silence and the icy air of the night flowed between the two.

"Speaking of Ram, is the report over?"

“...... Yes, I'm sorry I didn't report something important. ”

"No—blame yourself so hard, and finish your job first—shouldn't it be quite uncomfortable to be empty for two nights?"

"Ahh ”

Faced with Rozval's invitation to hook his fingers, Ram complied with an intoxicated expression.

Standing in front of her desk, she approached Rozval with shaky steps and sat respectfully on his lap.

"Tonight too...... Trouble. ”

"This is an exercise of the right to take it for granted, and I will do it every time, and it is not a shameful thing, after all, your precious body is not your own. ”

Rubbing his cheek with his hand, Ram lifted his head with his eyes gently closed. While combing his pink hair with his other hand, Rozval closed one eye and looked down at Ram with his yellow pupils.

"What kind of presence will you be to us...... Hopefully the friendly side?"

Muttering only to himself, Rozval switched consciousnesses like this.

Gaze only at Ram in front of you, sink consciousness only into Ram – yes, sink consciousness in, their souls are one.

The first day of the Rozvall Mansion passed.

— like the end of a secret conversation between the master of the mansion and the maid.

"Good Morning! It's a sunny day, it's a good day to do laundry! Let's have a happy day!"

Long live the three shouts to welcome the rising sun, and the Pleiades shouted cheers.

The fifth raid on the Rozval Mansion, the next morning.

Stand in the middle of the courtyard, basking in the morning light and turning your upper body vigorously.

Promote blood circulation throughout the body with broadcast gymnastics, which is perfect for the morning, and convert the energy accumulated during sleep into vitality.

"Okay, Victory——!"

Finally, with hands raised in the air, a cry of victory is issued to end the beginning of the day.

Wiped his sweaty forehead briskly, and looked back while smiling, and the result was ......

"It's also very energetic early in the morning......

"Hey, Emilia-chan, don't talk like someone else's business, Emilia-chan is also full of energy!"

In the corner of the garden, Emilia is smiling wryly as she talks to the elves while Parker, the kitten elf, floats in the air, busy washing her face with her hands.

"Look at the way you wash your face, it's really a cat. Let's not talk about that, the elves are still sleepy, right?

"You'll want to sleep if you're tired, right? If Mana, the source of elven activity, decreases, it will behave similarly, and if Mana is not sufficient, it will ...... Meow. ”

Pulled by a yawning Parker, Emilia also yawns quietly with her hands over her mouth.

The act of the two pouring out their sleepiness made the Pleiades shrug their shoulders.

"The two of you must be talking about the person you like when you stay up late, right? Let me join in—huh? Who do I like? Well, this - I'll be shy to say it—"

Pleiades clasped his fingers and lowered his gaze, constantly peeking at Emilia.

Faced with the attitude of the Pleiades, Emilia waved perfunctorily.

"Okay, okay, what I like is Parker, what Parker likes is me, that's the end of the conversation. ”

"Lovesick and in love!? There's no room for me to intervene!?"

"No, Leah fell under my charm. Pleiades may not be a bad man, but he can't compare to me at all, and honestly give up on Leah...... Meow meow!"

Parker wanted to teach the leaning Pleiades a lesson, but Emilia's fingers reached over and pinched their ears.

"Don't get carried away, I'll get angry if I keep saying things like this. ”

"It hurts, it hurts, it's angry, it's angry!"

Under Emilia's punishment, Pleiades and Parker shouted in unison to admit defeat.

After the ears were released, the two of them rubbed against the painful area, and Emilia stood in front of them with her hands on her waist.

"It's good to have a good relationship, but you can't use people as a topic to play, and answer me if you understand. ”

"Got it. ”

Seeing her stretch out her hand to urge, one person and one cat nodded like pounding garlic.

I feel like I'm not just being treated like a child, I'm also being toyed with, but when I see Emilia smiling with satisfaction, it doesn't matter if it's an incredible little thing.

Not noticing that the Pleiades was smiling and in a daze, Emilia suddenly clapped her hands.

"That's right, exactly. Come, Ang, sit down here. ”

Emilia, who was sitting sideways on the lawn, tapped the place next to her and told her to sit down.

Realizing that this was the moment to "sit down", the Pleiades acted quickly and immediately slid to the designated position.

"I was called and slid over, and I arrived! What's wrong, what's wrong? What kind of man is just right? The man whose hand can reach the itchy spot - Natsuki Pleiades, as long as he gives an order, he will help Emilia-chan scratch the back that is very itchy but can't be touched!"

"I just told you to sit next door, but your reaction was bigger than expected, what am I going to do?"

Under the fierce attack of the Pleiades, Emilia could only smile bitterly.

"That's it...... Yesterday, how was your first day of work? Did you do well?"

"Well, eighty percent can't!"

"That's it, so confident...... Huh? No, it's still eighty percent?"

"No, it's too much to say eighty percent...... Six...... No, it's about five out of seven......"

"There are a lot of places that don't work, and this hasn't changed at all......"

Is it because Pleiades has a lower opinion of herself than expected? Emilia is frustrated when she feels responsible. However, she immediately raised her head again so as not to worry Pleiades.

"Ah, but looking back, the first job was done 20 percent, right? That's it, and it will definitely get easier and easier in the future. That's right, be confident. ”

"That's right, the first time there is 20%, after that it will only improve more, and then it will be the beginning of my downwind road!"

"Be less narcissistic and reflect on it. ”

"Since you want to be coquettish, of course you have to be coquettish to the end^ Ah, I was wrong, it's okay, I'm sorry. ”

Overwhelmed by the fierceness of Emilia's glare, she shrank up and hung her head.

Anyway......

"Actually, with the help of Ram and Rem, I feel that I can fight hard, but I can only complete 20% of the work with all my strength, because my current strength is like this, but I am looking forward to my future life. ”

"Since you're so positive, I don't have much to say......"

Listening to the positive speech, Emilia pursed her lips as if she was making a fuss. It was so cute to see her childish behavior by chance, and the burning urge ignited in her chest.

But he used all his self-control to suppress that impulse.

He made a funny gesture and pointed his fingers at Emilia with both hands.

"Always, all, all in all, even today I am commanded by the maid sisters everywhere, and I will still try to live a life as a servant. If I'm tired of living like this, I'll be able to lie on Emilia-chan's lap, and I'll do it all. ”

“...... It feels good to only listen to half of the words. ”

"The face is so cute, but she makes a spicy comment! However, half of the words means that it is OK to lie on one thigh!So, one of Emilia's thighs has been reserved for me tonight...... Don't rob it, Parker!"

Parker, who changed the object of his finger and accepted the declaration of war, flicked his beard calmly.

"Hmph, no matter what you say after me, Leah has made a pact with me to dedicate her body and mind to me. So far, our relationship is ...... Meow meow!"

"Don't change the contract for a period I don't know, really. ”

Emilia pinched the unrepentant Parker's ears and shook them in the air for reflection.

But Parker was used to it, and his expression was laid-back, dangling happily in Emilia's hands, and the relationship between them was truly enviable.

"Well, the energy of the morning is gone, and it's time to go to work. ”

"Vitality Supply, did you do something?"

"Of course, it's flirting with Emilia-chan affectionately. ”

"You're here again, you're always playing tricks like that, and when the time comes, no one will believe what you say. ”

"I know of a fairy tale like this, but I think it's the protagonist's own ......."

"Are you qualified to say that......?"

Responding to Emilia's dumbfounded gaze with a smirk, the Pleiades patted her ass and stood up.

"I'll be scolded if I don't leave, I'm scheduled to help prepare breakfast this morning, Emilia sauce is afraid of eating round peppers, right? ”

"Don't be a picky eater, even if you hate it, you have to eat it...... Did I tell Pleiades that I hate bell peppers?"

Emilia tilted her head in confusion, leaving a light smile and waving away.

He had indeed heard it before, and he had seen it.

Realizing that Emilia was staring at her, the Pleiades swayed meaninglessly from side to side in a laughable motion.

- In order to prevent the smile from disappearing, he kept conscious and attentive to that line of sight.

Seeing the Pleiades staggering out of view, Emilia sighed quietly.

The end of the sigh is the back of Parker watching the Pleiades go away. Suddenly aware of his gaze, Parker looked up at Emilia.

"What's wrong? ”

"I feel so depressed that I don't know what to say. ”

Emilia, who couldn't speak, struggled with how to turn her inner confusion into words, but the words got stuck in her throat, and instead of becoming sentences, they turned into sighs and disappeared.

Watching over Emilia's distress, Parker twitched his pink nose.

"You care about the Pleiades, right? It's strange that Leah worries so much about others. ”

"Don't talk as if I'm not good at interacting with people, I'm not bad at interacting with people, I just don't have the opportunity to interact with people!"

With her cheeks puffed out, Emilia made a look at Parker that no one else would see.

The attitude and demeanor of a spoiled child is a testament to the trust Emilia has placed in Parker. Parker, who accepted this trust, also looked at the girl who regarded her daughter with a calm expression.

Regardless, Parker sensitively sensed her unexpressed feelings and nodded in response.

"Well, it's no wonder that Leah is confused, because things are getting a little nerve-wracking. ”

"Nerve-wracking?"

Although Parker's way of speaking was leisurely, Emilia didn't miss the atmosphere revealed in the words, and her expression tensed.

Basically, no matter how sinister the situation is, Parker's attitude is consistent, and I don't know if this is an elf trait or Parker's character. Since it is difficult to discern the gravity of his elvescent speech, the judgment of the listener becomes important, that is, everything depends on Emilia's judgment.

In front of Emilia, who was holding her breath, Parker played with her beard leisurely.

"I tried to get in touch with it, and my heart was a mess, both on the outside and on the inside, and if it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before there would be problems in my heart. ”

From beginning to end, Parker's tone was calm.

The sound of the pottery shattering made Rem look up in fright.

"Don't mind!Don't mind!"

As he said this, Ang, a young man in a maid's uniform with dancing steps, ran over with a cleaning tool. He quickly cleaned the shards of pottery scattered under his feet, then made a gesture to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Then, he looked at Rem, who was staring at all the process, and bared his teeth and smiled viciously.

"Don't worry, because the aftermath was dealt with quickly, and there were no injuries. ”

"It's a good intention, but the person who knocked down the vase is the Pleiades, right? Rem goes get the replacement vase, and you are responsible for mopping the floor and preparing the ......."

"No, don't bother you! The vase and flowers are handled by me, seniors, please do your own work!"

Passing Reim, who gave the order, Pleiades, who went to the spare parts warehouse, returned with a vase a few minutes later. He put the vase back in its original position, poured water and arranged the flowers to restore the previous landscape.

"Whew—I'm happy to finish a job, Rem. ”

"It's just a matter of cleaning up the work you have added...... Pleiades, when have you ever heard where to put the vase?

"Uh-huh, oh...... Yes, I heard from my sister! People like me will definitely have a chance to break the vase, so for that moment to come, tell me where to put the vase in advance!"

Rem narrowed her eyes suddenly.

"Oh, yes. ”
