Then the brilliant King's Sword shattered into seven pieces, which were then forged into seven new King's Swords.

One of them is the Holy Sword of Destruction in Genova's hands.

The sword in Irina's hand is the "Sword of Mimicry," one of the seven Kings' Swords.

"The Holy Sword!"

Upon seeing the weapon held by Genova, Rebel instinctively gasped, her eyes filled with disgust.

Any demon would likely have little affection for a weapon radiating holy light.

Driven by instinct, she subconsciously took two steps back, then turned her gaze to Su Mu sitting on the sofa.

At this moment, Su Mu looked at Irina Zifang with a slightly amused gaze, wondering what she would do.

The chestnut-haired girl gently tossed her twin tails, a conflicted look on her face, as if she was hesitating about what to do.

However, driven by instinct, she summoned the "Holy Sword of Mimicry" from her hand.

Genova breathed a slight sigh of relief upon sensing his companion's actions.

She was relieved that her companion didn't hold her back because of past personal feelings at this time... Hmm (the money)?

"Irina, why are you pointing your sword at me?"

Genova looked at his partner with a blank expression and said in disbelief.

"Hey?"

Irina Zifang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the "Holy Sword of Mimicry" she was holding, and an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on her face.

Then, he quickly put down the weapon he was holding and dragged it away.

“Jenova, you should think things through before fighting. You can’t try to solve all problems with force. I just want to stop you from making impulsive moves.”

Irina Zifang blushed slightly, then coughed softly and continued.

"And even if the other party is a demon, it doesn't necessarily mean they are our enemy. Don't forget, we came here on a mission."

Genova paused for a moment, then slowly put down the weapon in his hand and sat back down on the sofa.

I don't know if it was Irina's words, "There's still a mission to complete," that moved her.

However, the most important reason, in reality, is probably...

His longtime companions and partners had all turned their swords against him.

In this situation, what's the point of even fighting?

Genova felt a little down right now.

Chapter 96 Will You Become My Familiar?

"To be honest, I feel a little strange right now."

Su Mu looked at Genova with gentle eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Under his gaze, the blue-haired church swordsman felt inexplicably oppressed and involuntarily straightened his back.

"As my best friend, it's only natural that Irina would visit me after returning to Kuoh Town."

"I was also very happy to receive a visit from a good friend I hadn't seen for many years."

"But it seems that Genova only came with Irina and didn't receive my invitation, did he?"

"Under these circumstances, what right do they have to rebuke Rebel, the head of the household, and draw their swords against her?"

"This—" Upon hearing this, Genova was speechless for a moment.

From this perspective, it is naturally her fault.

In normal interpersonal interactions, someone who does this would likely be considered an unwelcome guest.

However, Su Mu was actually just making excuses.

As warriors of the church, it is entirely reasonable for them to overreact when they suspect they have fallen into a devil's trap.

However, Genova could only sense that something seemed off about what Su Mu was saying, but couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

Her long-term church life made her thinking more straightforward.

Even with the simplest verbal traps, she couldn't grasp the key points for a counterattack.

Seeing Genova speechless, Irina Fujito couldn't help but raise her hand and cover her face.

She almost burst out laughing at her straightforward companion, who always resorted to violence, acting like this.

The verbal trap Su Mu used at this moment was actually a rather low-level one. For Irina Zifang, whose intelligence was still within the range of a normal person, she only needed to think about it briefly before she came up with a way to refute it.

However, for Genova, who always preferred to solve problems with a sword, this statement was enough to shut down all her rebuttals.

Moreover, precisely because Su Mu did not use any sophisticated language skills, Irina Zifang was not at all disgusted by her partner being teased; all she felt was amusement.

However, thinking about what I did, I don't seem to have the right to be angry because my companion was teased.

Irina Zifang, who still had some sense of self-awareness, showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

So, shouldn't we help her out of this predicament a little now?

Irina tossed her chestnut-colored twin tails, feeling troubled inside.

Then, Su Mu seemed to sense her inner turmoil and winked at her discreetly.

—Omitted. Sorry, Genova, I will apologize properly afterward.

Irina Zifang silently lowered her head, ignoring the pleading looks her companions were giving her.

"Okay, I'll apologize, alright?"

Finally, with a hint of self-abandonment and annoyance on his face, Genova bowed deeply to Rebel with the fierce spirit of a soldier going into battle.

Church warriors, who were used to solving problems with swords and fists, encountered a situation that could not be resolved by force.

"I'm so sorry, maid."

"Eh~"

Rebel, who was holding a tray, instinctively took a step back, a look of astonishment on her face.

The fact that a church warrior wielding a hated holy sword could bow down to her was something Rebel found unbelievable.

After all, being gifted a holy sword, regardless of its power, at least proves one's reverence and loyalty to "God".

Therefore, even Rebel, who was used to a life of luxury, couldn't help but feel a little smug in the face of this situation.

"Oh, it's nothing, I don't have anything to do anyway."

Rebel said softly, then placed the tea set from the tray on the table.

Then, with graceful movements, he poured black tea for the three people present.

Although Rebel was pampered, she was not a lazy good-for-nothing who didn't know anything about farming.

Her skill in brewing black tea, in terms of both proficiency and other aspects, clearly demonstrates that it can only be honed through years of dedicated practice in daily life.

After pouring the black tea, Rebel was just about to leave when Su Mu looked at her, then gently patted the seat next to her on the sofa, gesturing for her to sit down.

Rebel paused, feeling slightly puzzled.

After all, according to the etiquette of maids, when there are guests, the maid, as the servant, should not enjoy the same treatment as the host and guests.

However, since it was Su Mu's instruction, she gracefully lifted her skirt and sat down.

Then, just as she sat down, still feeling shy about sitting too close to Su Mu,

Just now, Rebel brought three tea sets, poured three cups of tea, and placed them in front of Genova, Irina Zifang, and Su Mu respectively.

Su Mu raised his hand and reached for the cup of tea in front of him, pushing it towards Rebel with the back of his hand.

"This guy seems to really like the maid role, which is a bit of a headache."

Su Mu said leisurely.

"I happen to be short of a maid, so I'll leave her here."

Rebel was taken aback.

She was clearly bound by a contract, forced to stay and work as a maid instead of being the pampered little princess of the Phoenix family.

However, when Su Mu spoke to the church duo, she deliberately fabricated lies, making it seem as if she had strongly requested and voluntarily stayed.

To be honest, these words of spreading rumors and gossip made her feel a little...touched.

She probably sensed the purpose behind Su Mu's words and actions.

respect.

Yes, it is indeed about respect.

The church duo in front of me are here as guests, the hosts.

The host and the guest are equal in status.

In comparison, the status of a maid is naturally much lower than that of a master or guest.

Su Mu's remarks are expressing a certain attitude.

Although he appears to treat Rebel as a maid and makes things difficult for her under the guise of master and servant, it's mostly just a bit of fun, rather than him truly regarding her as a servant.

Especially when facing a force like the church, which is naturally hostile to the devil, they would not allow her to suffer because of her status as a maid.

Upon realizing this, Rebel felt a secret joy that she herself was unaware of.

"I see, you really are strange."

Genova completely believed what Su Mu said.

She raised her hand and scratched her neat short blue hair, looking at Rebel with a surprised gaze, as if she had seen something incredible.

"I never imagined that there were people in this world who liked being maids."

Rebel opened her mouth, somewhat speechless.

She must have been treated like some kind of weirdo, right?

I didn't become a maid willingly!

Compared to the previous reason, Master... oops, Su Mu's purpose is clearly this!
