Today, when the maid Hilda wakes up, she finds herself not in her bedroom on the first floor of the Lord's Mansion, but surrounded by snow-white walls, lying flat on a pedestal made of special materials. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, a precision sensor buried in the inside of her skin told her that she was not wearing any clothes and was naked. This is also confirmed by the effects of opening your eyes and being recorded by optical devices.

The creature's brain had not yet woken up, making it impossible for her to comprehend the current situation, so Hilda had to find the corresponding memories from the memory of the autonomic module in her body and download them.

It turns out that I am undergoing an upgrade of the hardware in my body.

Experiences like this weren't uncommon for Hilda, who she thought was a must every few days. It's just that the frequency of upgrades has become more frequent recently, waking up almost every day.

And at this time, I can always find a cute petite figure not far from me, lying on the edge of the pedestal, whirring and sleeping.

"Really, staying up late in the lab again...... Please wake up, Miss Eliser. ”

Hilda grumbled to herself, calling the little girl's name softly, trying to wake her up from her dream.

"Meow...... Woo...... Let me sleep a little longer......"

Eliza, who was wearing a white lab coat over her snow-white dress, refused to open her eyes, and buried her little head in the maid's chest while making a coquettish sound.

The soft and warm touch made the sleeping Elizer show a happy expression, and Hilda also stretched out her fingers, carefully combing the hair of the girl in her arms, and the corners of her mouth leaked a gentle and doting smile.

There's no way to see the light or darkness of the sky in the enclosed lab, but Hilda can read the time from the timer in her body - though Hilda would love to let Arizer snooze in her arms for a little longer, but it's not too early now. You must return to the lord's mansion to prepare your meal.

So the maid was ruthless, and with her fingers she gently pinched Elize's elastic smooth face.

"Miss Eliza, please wake up, it's already dawn?"

Other housework can be safely handed over to other maids, but cooking, is Hilda's inviolable domain, and she has never left it to others to prepare. Occasionally, only Lord Lutga would come to the kitchen from time to time to show off the cooking skills he had honed during his knightly days.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Hilda is obsessed with cooking. The moment of being side by side with the man you admire is very valuable.

However, in recent days, Lutga has rarely cooked with his own hands, and he is rarely seen during the day. Hilda guessed that the lord was probably tired of being with Miss Rakhi. After all, the two are in love, and their wedding date is approaching.

At the thought of this, Hilda couldn't help but sigh deeply. She said before that she would fight it out openly, but she knew that she was just a maid in the eyes of the lord. It is impossible to turn the situation around.

Arieza sat up, she straightened her back and raised her little head, while rubbing her fingers against the corners of her eyes that were full of tears, and stretched out with a 'woo~~~' sound. That posture is like a cat that has just woken up.

"Ah~~ It's Hilda~~ Good morning~~!"

Alize, who came to her senses, sent an energetic good morning greeting to the maid. Then, looking around, as if searching for something, "Brother Michelle~~?

"Yes, Mr. Michelle left before the hardware update started last night. ”

In fact, the reason why Michelle avoided it was because Hilda's hardware upgrade had to be carried out completely naked, and Michelle was too young, an ignorant and shy teenager to maintain the heart of a researcher or a doctor, and examine the beautiful body of women with an intellectual gaze.

"Woo~~ It's nerve-wracking, and I'm counting on my brother to help me sort out the data together~~"

Alize stared at the dense text on the terminal data screen, revealing a distressed look.

"Miss Elizer, please don't call too casually, after all, Mr. Michelle is older than you, and he may be your disciple, but please be careful and polite in your interactions. Also, don't stay under the same roof with a man anymore, it's very inappropriate?"

I remember that a few mornings ago, when she saw Alize and Michelle snuggling together in the research room, she was shocked. It is not difficult to imagine what amazing actions the lord Lutga would have made if he saw this scene. The poor young magician will undoubtedly be named by the hero of the salvation of the country to fight to the death in the uninhabited wilderness.

"Hilda, after breakfast, come out with me~~ Regarding your upgrade, it's basically completed, so it's time to put it into practical testing~~"

"I see, but let me take the liberty of asking, what specific modifications have been made to my body?"

Regarding the transformation in recent days, Hilda herself is confused. Looking at the data core of the Armament Control module, we did not find any updates to the equipment structure diagram. The transformed process record files have also been encrypted and stored by Arizol.

"Although the details cannot be disclosed yet~~ but the general situation...... Basically~~ It's just that some special equipment for ceremonies and celebrations has been added. In addition to this, Sister Rakhi was also copied...... Ah, no, I should be called Laqi's mother in the future~~ In short, I borrowed the operating principle of 'Dragonstone' and made a drastic transformation of the core of the main power furnace. In the future, Hilda's power furnace will no longer need to be charged by me, but will be able to draw the required magic from the outside world fully automatically~~"

"Huh...... It turned out to be ...... That's right. Thank you very much, Miss Eliza. ”

From the point of view of performance enhancement, this revolutionary technology is undoubtedly a breakthrough leap. Achieving self-acquisition of magic means that Hilda's endurance as a weapon has been endlessly extended. The time limit for independent operations and the limits on the combat radius no longer existed, which should have been happy news.

But Elize's cheerful explanation made Hilda feel a little lonely. She felt that the intimate bond between herself and the girl in front of her seemed to have been ruthlessly severed because of the appearance of Rachi. Her desire to be 'her' mother turned out to be a bamboo basket for water.

In addition, there is no doubt that the special equipment for ceremonies was developed for the wedding ceremony of the lord. In recent days, the communication and interaction between Eliez and Laqi in the name of research seems to have opened the girl's heart to her new mother.

Thinking of this, Hilda only felt that her beloved things that she had guarded for many years were being taken away by Raghi, bit by bit, which made her feel jealous from the bottom of her heart.

If you put aside this resentment, in fact, as a maid, she doesn't hate Raqi, who is about to become her mistress.

Raki is a simple woman, she will neither abuse the three sisters like the vicious stepmother in the story, nor will she carry the head of the family behind her back and be in the erosive aristocratic circle, nor will she treat the people of Lutga arrogantly and domineeringly.

Although in addition to her appearance and strength, as a wife and mother, she is full of loopholes. But despite this, she is also looking for a way to enhance her relationship with her daughters every day, and she is making clumsy efforts to get closer to the direction of her ideal good wife every moment.

Thinking about it, Lachi's personality is so peaceful and kind that it is unbelievable that her real body will be the legendary demon dragon that destroyed many countries. But that's why Hilda has mixed feelings for her.

――As a competent mother and wife, it is clear that the other party is no match for herself anywhere...... Why can't you choose me?

Gradually, the jealousy of Laqi even turned into a faint resentment towards the lords and young ladies.

At that moment, startled by the intense and damp thought that popped up in her heart, Hilda immediately shook her head vigorously.

She forced herself to recognize her position, and to put aside her distractions and find what to do now—yes, she was just a maid, and she had to devote all her so, whenever and wherever she was, to fulfill the wishes of each of them.

In contrast, their own desires...... Or your own ugly desires, it doesn't matter at all.

"Hilda~~~What's wrong?Why are you suddenly in a daze~~?Is there a hardware failure~~?"

The little master's call brought Hilda back to her senses, and she dissipated the intricacies of her thoughts, trying to make herself smile in front of the girl she loved, and warned herself not to think too much about it.

"Ahh......h It's nothing, Miss Eliezer, you said you were going out. But where are you going?"

"Of course, it's to go around the towns around Silia~~~First of all, ah, yes~~ [Etania] is good~~ It's time to go and say hello, and by the way, get back the arrears of the lord uncle~~"

"What are you doing with so many places? Also, even Alice and Miss Sophia have been coming home late these days. Not only that, but the family members of the guards also came to the door to say that the guards had not returned home for the past two days. Excuse me, what are the ladies planning to do......

Although they want to help their masters fulfill their wishes, the actions of the three sisters have all seemed mysterious in the past few days. She didn't get any information about the content of the event, which made Hilda uneasy.

In other words, at least Alize would share information with him as soon as possible and give instructions.

"Well~~ it's Alice's sister's secret proposal, you'll know it after a while~~ But before it's done, it's absolutely ~~ to keep it a secret~~ Especially if you can't let Hilda know~~"

"Especially...... Can't you let me know ......?"

"Uh-huh~~!"

――Why?

Hilda didn't want to ask any further. The words highlighted by the cup made her feel as if the thinking module and the biological brain were being bombarded at the same time.

Transform the core ...... of the energy power furnace Positive status Raqi prepares for wedding...... A mysterious operation that only keeps it secret from itself. The messages involuntarily linked together, sending Hilda's thoughts tumbling in a gloomy direction.

And Alize's hearty smile at this time actually looked so cold, cruel, and alienated.
