Miss Demon Maid

Chapter 38: Secret agreements

Andy. Thank you so much for saving my life in such a dangerous situation.

No, its fine as long as Sharon is okay. .In fact, I dont know if I would have made it in time if Miss Fleurety hadnt picked me up on the way. If you want to thank me, you should thank her.

Yes, Lettys a good friend of mine.

Andy gazes dazzled at Sharon, who has a girlish smile on her face.

The girl who was a childhood friend, but could not be saved from the bonds of nobility. There was no one who she could call a friend. She was always being blamed by those around her, she even forgot how to smile and just tried to protect her pride in being an aristocrat. But now it seemed like a miracle that she had a bright smile on her face.

Andy turned his eyes away from Sharon with a sigh, he realized to late his own desire. But their position now was just that of the second princes potential fiance and the second princes knight.

And because Joel-sama told me to go. You can thank Joel-sama as well

Yes.

Sharons smile clouds slightly as she remembers her position, too.

Joel approves of the two of them, but due to his position, he couldnt say it out loud. Both of them, as the eldest children of the Marquis families, were also in a position where they had to abide by the rules of the aristocracy, even if it meant to sacrifice themselves.

Did His Highness say anything to you after that?

Just once I received a letter

The first prince who had eradicated the demons Crown Prince Yuri was interested in Sharon and her maid, Fleurety .

If he was so inclined, even if she was a potential fiance of his brother, it could be easily overruled by one word from him. However, Yuri only sent a letter to say, Show up at the castle one of these days.

Im not going to be able to tell you what to do. But you cant procrastinate forever, and even if the prospective fiance was not Joel but Andy, as a nobleman it would be difficult to refuse.

They are in love with each other, but they have lost each other.

The two had already changed from being childhood friends and a man and a woman to the face of a nobleman.

So, how about we mix some stimulants into the tea and see how it goes?

What do you mean?

As expected of the Mercia family. The height of the ceiling is much higher than the average, so no one seems to notice.

Hello Fleurety here, the maid of record, who, together with her little dragon Jade, is huddled against the ceiling of the parlor, gently watching over the two.

I thought there were strange signs, but you wasnt a human after all.

It is a maids etiquette to lurk in the ceiling for the sake of milady.

Theres no maid like that.

This is a strange thing to say. Im a Lovely Spider, you know.

Anyway, the disputes between Jade and me has been settled. I said that if he didnt admit to the sexual harassment of milady, I would demand compensation in court, and Jade agreed to pay a reconciliation to settle the matter.

..Its a small, dirty stone.

Its dragons gallstones, for one thing. Its worth several times as much as those gems around here.

Im not impressed because it came out of my mouth.

By the way, let me ask you, why are you acting like a pet?

I had heard that dragons are quite proud, but was the other world he was in different?

When you pretend to be like that, the pure young girls come to you.

The reconciliation has been doubled.

Ive heard that intelligent dragon species have offspring with other species and give birth to subspecies, but they are really unprincipled creatures.

As we talked while seriously watching miladys deflections, I found out many things.

Jade is a dragon from another world, but it seems that he can hear the voice of the dragon god that was sealed in the ruins.

Although the voice is audible, it is a one-way oracle and cannot be spoken with, but when he followed the voice and investigated. He found out that the goddess worshipped in this country is the one who took away the power from the old god.

It is said that the priestess who became the goddess was unable to use the complete power she took away. She was only able to influence this country at first. After every few hundred years, the number of countries and regions she influenced increased.

When I say every few hundred e to think of it, it matches the number of games that I heard about from Miss Akiru.

Every few hundred years, the Goddess summons someone who has been playing the game on Earth to play her game across time and space, making her the heroine to enjoy the game.

This is a [game world] created by the goddess..

Is your brain okay?

Its the result of research! I know its a stupid thing to say, but

Its really hard to believe that someone who calls herself a goddess would be such an idiot, but.

According to Jade, hes trying to contact the dragon species outside the Goddesss warding to attack, but after they become a subspecies, their intelligence drops to a stuttering degree, so they cant break through the Goddesss warding.

How did the head maid come in?

All I ask of you is to destroy the wards. Its a pity, but you seem to be more powerful than the current dragon.

All right. So help me in case of emergency.

Thus ended the secret talks and secret agreements with Jade.

And so, it seems that milady has finished talking to Mr. Andy as well.

..Where did she go? Letty?

Yes, Milady.

I jumped out at the call and landed diagonally behind milady and called out to her, and milady and Mr. Andy, slumped down with a twitching face.

Letty, were you up on the ceiling again?

As miladys maid, I was ready to deal with everything at any time.

What are you talking about?

I was hit with a slipper by milady who turned bright red. As expected of milady, she is very modest.

*

Are you free again, milady?

Yes, it seems so. I heard that the holy beast that was the guardian in the Demon Forest has disappeared, and parts of the forest are starting to die.

That must be very difficult.

Its been a while since the academy classes startet again but they need to cancel classes again.

Apparently its the big bird sacred beast that disappeared, but thats annoying.

Thats fine, but for some reason, I dont remember taking the class much. I wondered if that was a good thing, but here and there, some students seemed to have completed the [Partner contract].

Less than half of all students, but I heard that the achievement rate of the junior high school group was higher for boys than for girls.

The reason for this is that the hot sellers such as Miss Akiru and Miss Chisato are in the girls group, but the reason why Mr. Sei and Mr. Hao in the boys group remain unsold is mysterious.

But what does the withering away of the demon forest have to do with the academys holiday?

Youve never heard of it, Letty? Minami-sama became the Green Saint, right? It is said that the Demons Forest serves as a ward to prevent outside demons from entering. She is going to heal the forest, and some of the instructors and students are going to protect Minami-sama.

Isnt that the work of the soldiers from Al Gray?

Well I guess you could say that.

Milady didnt even seem to question it until I told her. Was there another subtle interference? Lets fire up that Stupid Goddess one of these days.

Knock,knock.

Letty, theres someone here to see us.

Again. Thats unusual.

Its not that milady has a bad temperament and doesnt have many visitors or anything like that. Its just that, as a nobleman, invitations to milady start with a letter to ask for her schedule. So its a rare occurrence, except in cases like the last time when they came to pick us up.

I went to the door, looked through the peephole, and saw a small schoolgirl with a couple of handmaids who looked familiar.

Who are you?

This is Minami. Ive been talking to you and Miss Sharon

Yes, yes, it was Miss Minami, wasnt it? Of course, I remembered you

When I opened the door, Miss Minami stepped forward and smiled a mature smile.

Id like Miss Sharon and you to come with me to the Demon Forest, but could you please tell Miss Sharon?
