After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"Ughhh!!"

"Lonnies, what's wrong?"

"what……"

The silver-haired girl trembled, only then remembering that Elusia had told her not to shout in the Western restaurant.

Normally, if he disobeys orders, he will be bullied and electrocuted.

and so……

"Master Elusia, I'm sorry!"

"Aha?"

"I didn't shout on purpose, it was just an accident..."

"Okay, then remember not to shout like that next time."

"what?"

"Western restaurants are public places, and it is impolite to shout."

……

After saying that, Elusia went back to eating her steak.

Lonnie was completely dumbfounded.

There were no toys activated, no punishment, not even scolding or ridicule...

What exactly is going on?

Was Elusia doing this to deliberately lower her guard, with the aim of punishing herself thoroughly at the moment when she was most careless?

She collapsed in the Western restaurant, looking like a velvet ball, and was ridiculed by everyone—this young lady is so gentle, yet this maid is so rude.

……

(No, that shouldn't be the case.)

Because given this cunning girl's intelligence, if she really wanted to bully me, she certainly wouldn't do it in such a troublesome way.

Could it be that……

Upon realizing a possibility, Lonnie was completely stunned.

------Elucia's Thoughts-------

……

Why is Elusia so gentle with Lonnies?

There's only one reason: Elusia is definitely not a tsundere!

If I were a tsundere, what I should do right now is continue to bully Lornish, so that she won't dare to resist me.

However, Elusia doesn't consider herself a tsundere.

Although, I don't particularly like Lonnie, that silly maid.

But that doesn't mean I can allow her to like other girls... The old idea of ​​randomly building a harem is absolutely unacceptable!

So, Elusia brought this silly maid to the Western restaurant, intending to let her experience the joys of being a maid, her follower.

If I can keep this silly maid from leaving me, she won't mess around with other girls.

……

That's what Elusia thought, but she had no idea.

Lornish was on the verge of tears.

Although she tried her best not to cry, tears clearly glistened in her bright eyes... Her lips were slightly raised, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make it out clearly.

This is how the same thing?

Has this guy really become an idiot?

……

After a moment's thought, Elusia quickly understood the reason for the matter.

This silly maid, who has been bullied by me quite a bit on a daily basis, is now flattered?

Therefore, these are tears of happiness.

At the same time, Elusia could also sense... Lonnies's deep unease, as if she were terrified that the happy times they were enjoying would disappear.

Hmph, what an idiot.

It's just a steak, it's not like I haven't cooked it for you before.

However...

That expression is actually quite cute, isn't it?

Since that's the case, then I'll keep teasing you until you never dare to flirt with other girls again!

Elusia was thinking about this.

But what she didn't know was that Lonnies had a completely different thought in her mind...

……

--------Lonnies's Thoughts-------

……

Lonnies knew that Elusia wouldn't treat her so well for no reason.

Therefore, the only possibility is...

These peaceful days are numbered.

Previously, in the Temple of Clarity, his illness had not been completely cured, and he was still at risk of becoming ill again at any time.

Even if she doesn't die, she might stay in the hospital room forever, unable to travel with Elusia.

So to say,

It seems there were signs all along.

Elusia has always considered herself a soft, gentle girl, so logically, no matter what happened, she shouldn't transform herself back into a strong man right now.

However, I don't have much time left.

So Elusia wanted to be a boy one last time and experience the magnificent beauty once more.

That's it!

Lonnies remembered that whether it was last night or this morning when she was putting on the suit, Elusia was in a good mood and did not blame herself at all.

But once night fell and everyone had left, Elusia's mood became very strange.

This is probably because,

Elusia must be disappointed too, right?

She didn't know how to tell herself about it, and she was too embarrassed to comfort herself, so she pretended to be cold and acted like a boy.

That way, if we were to separate in the future and not be together anymore, I wouldn't feel so lost.

but……

In the end, Elusia was still worried about herself.

Or rather, she didn't want to miss this last chance... because this was the Autumn Arts Festival, a time when she should be happy.

Everyone should smile from the bottom of their heart on this night, and even if they are alone in the future, they can keep this memory in their hearts and cherish it.

and so……

Is this the first time you've been so gentle with me, Elusia?

If that's really the case...

I can't let her down either, can I?

……

---------Elucia's Thoughts-----------

……

Strange, why is Lornish grinning like an idiot again?

But I felt extremely disappointed, as if I was about to cry.

How is this going?

Could it be that……

Is that idiot Lornish afraid of me?

Because she was worried that I would suddenly bully her, she forced a smile hoping that the current atmosphere could continue.

Hmm, that should be the case, right?

Because I can sense that Lornish is feeling guilty and insecure right now.

But surely it can't be that bad...

I'm not a demon like Kru. Even when I bully this masochistic maid, I don't feel that she's feeling down inside.

On the contrary, she felt happy and excited. She was clearly looking forward to being a gentle and sweet girl, but she stubbornly refused to admit it.

Ugh, what a hassle.

But...
