Miss Demon Maid

Chapter 40: Departure

Take a seat, Miss Fleurety.

Thank you.

Mr. Elias took the trouble to get up from his seat and pull out a chair for me.

As a maid, I feel uncomfortable doing that to a nobleman, but Im not that uncouth either.

And this one too,

I dont know where he had it, but he crowned me with one red and one white rose.

What would you like to drink?'

Tea, please.

This coffee shop is, what can I say, self-service.

The reason for this is that there is only a staggering old man working here, and if you wait for him to come and take your order, youll wait all day.

But if you think about it, there are shops in the earths shopping district that have been open for many years even though Ive never seen any customer go in.

I dont really care about that, but what to do with this rose? Its not enough to make jam with it.

I had no choice but to finish munching on it when Mr. Elias came back with a cup of tea.

You said you wanted to ask me about the Goddess, as I recall.

The reason why I was meeting with Mr. Elias outside the [Church] was that I wanted to hear directly from him, who had heard a oracle, about the [Goddess]. As expected, if we did something like that within the church, I might attract the Goddesss attention, right?

Even if I just heard it from the old god, I heard that she has a power that surpasses even aGreat Spirit. Even if the Goddess cant master all of that power, theres no guarantee that I can win head-on.

Im glad that Miss Fleurety is interested in the teachings of the Goddess. Let me tell you what I know.

Please.

If that is what you think, Mr. Elias, I will not make any particular correction.

It is the duty of a lady not to refuse a mans kindness.

The beginning of the [Church] that worships the Goddess began about a thousand years ago during the founding of this country.

With such a beginning, the origin of the Church anGoddess was not so different from what we have heard so far.

The earth was devastated because the old gods had disappeared, and the goddess, who was saddened by this, descended from the heavens and gave an oracle to the young man who was to become the founding king and his queen, a saint from another world for which the people and the king were grateful and established the Church.

If you think about it the goddess is the one who caused the chaos on this continent by taking away the power of the old god.

Besides, Im also coming down from the ceiling, so I am not too different.

Hmm So youre saying its okay if I say I am a goddess? Well, I am a person of common sense who admits it to myself and others, so I am embarrassed by such a shameless act, and it is impossible for me to do so.

The first question that comes to mind. What was the goddess like?

The Goddess appeared to me in my dreams. The first time I saw her

The goddess has been appearing in Mr. Elias dreams since shortly after he entered the orphanage.

She had blue eyes and luxurious golden hair. She was in her mid to late teens, she looked like a beautiful girl, and then every time he met her, her hair and clothes became more and more gorgeous and beautiful.

Perhaps Mr. Elias was a favorite of theGoddess, who was becoming more and more beautiful as he grew up.

Miss Fleurety?

Im sorry.

I put back the hand that was touching Mr. Eliass cheek and I bow my head deeply.

.Its strange. That I would care about someone other than milady. Im sure I must have felt pity for him.

That said, I heard that Miss Sharon and Miss Fleurety are going to heal the Demon Forest along with Miss Minami. It sounds dangerous..is it safe?

Mr. Elias unexpectedly changed the topic.

Well, I was able to hear most of the things about the goddess, so theres no problem for now. I just found out that theres nothing I can do about her, though.

Dont worry. Ill take care of miladys safety.

I am concern about your safety.

Come to think of it, there was such a thing. I couldnt think of a greater threat in this world than the head maid, so I hadnt thought of that.

Would it be better to eradicate them first..

You have to be careful,

How is it that Miss Minami, the Green Saint, performs the healing and the Church does nothing?

Thats its certainly not right. In a situation like this, the church should be the one to take the lead.

Is that right?

Could this be one of the [events] that the goddess prepared?

As far as Im concerned, shes not a good person.

Now, it was the day to leave for the Demon Forest.

Good morning, milady. Its morning.

hmmm

When I urged milady to wake up, she opened her eyes slightly and then buried her face in the pillow again.

Its only before four in the morning, so it cant be helped. But since were leaving from the school grounds at six oclock, we dont have much time to spare.

I could massage milady all night long, but since I actually massaged her all night long, the fun time went by so fast that it became morning. I must wake her up for her sake, I must devote myself to waking her up.

..No, as miladys personal maid, the correct path is to let her sleep until the last minute while ensuring that she can make it in time.

..What?

Good morning, Milady,

what? Good morning, Letty?

Miladys astonished expression is very cute.

But I cant blame milady for her confusion. When she woke up, she found herself in the middle of getting feed her pancakes with lots of honey. Having finished dressing up perfectly.

I really tried my best. I had bathed milady so that she wouldnt wake up, polished her whole body while massaging her, conditioned her hair and skin, changed into her outfit to go out, and feed her breakfast.

Huh? What?

Serving breakfast that was high in calories helped to keep your mouth open.

I dont like calories!

She scolded me quite seriously. She said I should wake her up properly in the morning. Could it be that it was wrong to massage her in the bathroom?

Im going, Letty.

Yes, Ill go with you.

In the schoolyard, Miss Minami and several attendants and knights of the Kingsguard had already finished their preparations.

From the academy, Dr. Eric Marceau and a group of volunteer students, oh, even Mr. Sei and Mr. Hao are there.

Good morning. I understand you will be joining us as well.

Oh, good morning.

Good morning, Miss Kamishiro. Miss Minami asked me to join you. Thats a lot of baggage.

Mr. Hao, who was following milady who headed towards Miss Minami to greet her, returned an unkind greeting, and Mr. Sei, who greeted me cheerfully, was slightly taken back when he saw my luggage.

Apart from the [expansion bag] that can hold 100 kilos of luggage, I am also carrying a super huge backpack on my back. This is also only about 100 kilos, so its not a big deal.

All of this is a large amount of sweetened calories to make milady comfortable

Letty?

For some reason, milady spotted my thoughts and scolded me again.
