A soft shimmer shone lightly on Yulia's eyelids. Because he had been in bed for too long, he had been sleeping too much for the past few days. So he opened his eyes almost immediately.

"Oops...... Are you awake?"

Airi curled the corners of her mouth and smiled softly. The first thing you see when you wake up is that it's usually a pleasant thing to see. But it was probably the devilish Airi that was ingrained in his heart a few days ago, and the completely changed Airi in front of him only made him feel very discordant.

"When you're done washing, go and wake up the eldest lady as soon as possible—it's a new week. Also, please don't get hurt again, okay?"

"That's a strange statement, ...... Ari."

"Hee-hee...... Then I'll go downstairs first. ”

She covered her mouth with her hands and laughed softly. The moment her plain maid outfit disappeared from the doorway, Yulia let out a long breath.

From that night on, Airi's attitude towards him changed completely. He thought that after taking the antidote, Arry would turn back into the demon maid who used violence against him at every turn, and he was still very entangled in his heart for a while. But what she didn't expect was that she never showed that side again......

Women are terrible creatures. Although he heeded her warnings and never even removed his wig when he went to bed, he was still a man after all, and Yulia could hardly think of any explanation that would convince him of this almost unbelievable transformation of Airi.

"Forget it......"

After all, this Airi is a hundred times easier to get along with than the previous demon Airi, and Yulia hopes that she can always stay in this state.

――――

"Miss, get up~~~"

The last time he came, he was still under the watchful eye of Airi, and he endured the pain of the wounds all over his body and woke up a thousand nights. Today, a thousand nights asleep, this beautiful appearance still almost coincides with the last time I saw it in my memory. Should it be said that she really has the status and upbringing of the nobleman...... Even the sleeping position is so perfect.

The cute gesture of clasping your hands together makes it seem as if you are praying to the gods even when you fall asleep. But Yulia knew very well that although the petite girl in front of her had become much gentler recently, her nature had never changed.

"Miss, get up, if you don't get up again......"

But the girl in front of her slept too peacefully, so Yulia subconsciously didn't want to break the picturesque scene. He leaned down and approached Chiya, reached out and gently shook the part of Chiya's shoulder under the quilt.

"Huh...... huh...... Sleep for another five minutes......"

Qianye's eyelids fluttered slightly, but after opening her eyes slightly for half a second, she let her long pale eyelashes overlap again, frowning and muttering.

It's so cute......

Yuria's heart beat hard. Despite being such an ordinary everyday sight, just waking up the girl was a huge challenge for Yuria.

Airi's request for herself is nothing more than waking up a thousand nights. As a housekeeper, Yulia has been bedridden almost all the time, and if she can't even do this little thing, Yulia is really ashamed of her expensive housekeeper suit.

"Miss...... Don't go to sleep~~~ It's time to get up~~~~"

Shake - Shake - -

"Woo~~Woo~~~No...... I'm going to sleep a little longer...... Don't be noisy......"

"Miss...... please sober up! If you don't get up again, you can do it.

Just as Yuria was about to give up her plan to wake up Chiya with a gentle attitude, he suddenly found that a soft arm reached the back of his neck, and then, Yuria, who was caught off guard, was hooked into the bed by Chiya, who was still in a semi-sleepy state.

Chiya's light snort sprayed directly onto his face. Yulia was hugged by her master's outstretched hand, and she was lying on the same pillow.

At such a close distance, the original plan to warn Qianye to get up quickly with a solemn attitude completely disappeared.

"Miss...... You...... Awake, right?"

The petite and cute face did not react in the slightest. Under the quilt, the soft touch on the back of his neck seemed to be more intense.

"Miss...... I'm going to be very upset if you do that. ”

“...... Burst. ”

"Ah......h Please wake up quickly!"

It seems that he can't help it anymore, and the pale pink cherry lips of the thousand nights are gently hooked. She was clearly playing tricks on herself, and Yulia had full confidence in that.

"Yulia...... Since you are a steward, of course you know your responsibilities, right?"

"Yes, of course I know, but the situation is clearly the-"

"Your job is to serve me as best you can, in other words, to make me happy, right?"

“...... This—this is also ......"

"So, your master wants to sleep a little longer now...... You know what will make me happy, right?—if that's not enough, can I allow you to ......sleep with me in my arms?"

The corners of Qianye's mouth showed a cat-like smile, as if she had grasped it completely.

- "No. And no butler ever slept with his master!"

"Uhhh

"Please get up quickly, even if you tempt me with that petite and cute body!"

"Eh

"Well, forgive me for quitting - if I find out after five minutes that you haven't dressed and washed, you'll need to take a little harsher action!"

"Uh......h Obviously a housekeeper......"

――――

As a result, Chiya got up after that.

...... Really. Obviously has the strength to pull others into the bed, logically speaking, it should have woken up a long time ago......

Filiena seems to wake up very early every day. She spread out the textbook on the dining table very seriously, and kept her head down to review silently, not even noticing that Yulia approached.

"Miss Filiena-sama?"

"Babble?!"

She was so frightened that she dropped the pen in her hand to the ground. After reaching out to pick it up, she looked up to Yulia with a calm expression that didn't mean any resentment, "Is there something wrong?"

"Miss Filiena, wake up early every day?"

"Yes - because my family has a similar family motto. Although I am an aristocrat, I almost never enjoy the service of a maid...... In everything, my family asked me to support myself. It's the same for cooking, getting out of bed, and so on. ――But I'm not very good at cooking, but lately I've been able to help me cook with her. ”

She said seriously. It looks like she's the kind of person who has a very strict family education, and sure enough.

"Didn't you complain?"

"No—I think it's a good workout. It's not a bad thing to be able to take care of yourself, and I'm still grateful for the teachings from my family...... Sorry, I may have talked a little more. If you don't mind, I'll continue to study on my own. ”

Filiana, who turned her attention back to books, has a unique charm. Her conversation, which didn't mind her identity in the slightest, also made Yulia a lot easier. It seems that perhaps because of the frequent exchanges in recent times, she has not put on the same cold attitude as when they first met......

No.

Maybe it's just that the impression of Filiena and them in my heart is gradually changing.

......

After breakfast, Filiena and Chiya left the mansion together. Miliyah, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, had been doing somersaults boredly in mid-air in the mansion. After tidying up the dining table, Airi finds Yulia who wants to go back to her room.

She smiled at Yulia as if she had a firm idea. And Yuria, who was confused for a while, naturally relaxed her vigilance.

For her somewhat abrupt invitation, Yulia naturally didn't pay attention to it.

"Let's go shopping for ingredients, I'll be waiting for you at the door of the mansion. ”
