Chapter 169: Seele's Maid for a Day (Part 1)
A few days later.
Kirataka, who had just returned from morning exercise, staggered on the way back to the dormitory.
Because he had to practice Taixuan sword qi and study space manipulation at the same time recently, he had to give some of his time to go back to Sirin, so the speed of learning and mastering Taixuan sword energy was also reduced accordingly.
Although time travel can be used repeatedly, human energy is always limited...
Of course, from Fu Hua's perspective, this is still a fairly fast rate of improvement.
Kiana has almost officially begun to enter the cultivation threshold of Taixuan Sword Qi.
'By the way, why didn't she go straight back to the dormitory after her morning exercise, but ran to some other place?'
'I think I'm going to try breakfast outside...'
Shaking his head, Kirataka opened the door and entered.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard a sweet call.
"Brother Kirataka, good morning~"
Well, this is Seele's voice.
Their mission was completed yesterday, and they returned to the dormitory last night.
Correspondingly, Mei went out with Higokumaru early this morning.
—After all, he is nominally a student of St. Freya Academy. Although Higokumaru basically does not have to participate in cultural courses, she still has to carry out combat missions.
Higokumaru doesn't have any fighting ability right now, but with Mei accompanying her, there won't be any problem.
"Um, Seele, good morning... eh??"
Kirataka was just greeting casually, but after seeing Seele's dress, he couldn't help but stop.
For some reason, she was wearing an exquisite and cute maid outfit, which, combined with her already cute appearance, made people feel bright.
This outfit is mainly in dark blue, the same color as her hair, showing the sweet temperament of a girl. The short skirt is simple in design, and the hem is slightly fluffy, like a blooming flower, playful and cute.
She wore stockings on her lower body, the color of which echoed the skirt. The stockings fit her legs tightly, highlighting her slender and slender beauty. The sock openings were decorated with delicate bow lace, adding a touch of sweetness.
'It is very beautiful, but...'
'What day is today?'
Kirataka couldn't help but ask:
"Seele, what happened?"
"Nothing..."
The cute girl hesitated for a long time before explaining in a low voice:
"It's like this. Brother Kirataka rescued me from the Quantum Sea before, and I have never thanked you properly, so I want to..."
"…So you're going to dress up as a maid to take care of me?"
Kirataka continued along with what she said.
"Yeah, that's it."
The girl put her hands on her chest and her face was red, which was very cute.
"Uh, that, Seele, even if you want to repay me, you don't have to..."
Before Kirataka finished speaking, the girl said:
"By the way, Brother Kirataka, Sister Mei is not here today. I prepared breakfast for everyone. I'll go get your portion!"
Most of the time, Mei is responsible for preparing breakfast in the dormitory. When she is not around, Kirataka usually volunteers to help others prepare it.
Although Seele can cook, Kirataka usually doesn't let her be responsible for such things as she is a girl who has just arrived.
After saying that, Seele ran into the kitchen without looking back.
"…"
Kirataka stood there in a daze.
'I feel like Seele is acting weird today...?'
Because Mei and Higokumaru were not there, and Kiana had disappeared somewhere, only he, Seele, and Bronya were at the table for breakfast today.
Bronya took bites of the food on the plate as if nothing had happened.
As for Seele...
"Brother Kirataka, ah——"
"…"
Looking at the food being handed to his mouth by the beautiful maid with chopsticks, Kirataka showed a helpless look.
He said tentatively:
"Well, Seele, I can eat myself..."
However, after seeing the girl's blinking blue eyes, he was fed obediently.
After breakfast, Seele washed the dishes in the kitchen.
Kirataka took this opportunity to sit next to Bronya and asked in a low voice:
"What happened to Seele today?"
Bronya just smiled and responded calmly:
"Kirataka, just accept Seele's care."
"…"
'It seems that Bronya doesn't want to explain the reason.'
'Anyway, she has to be a maid for a day just to repay a favor, right?'
Then he can just open up and enjoy it.
'Seele is a very shy, soft, and weak person. If I continue to fight with her, she will definitely give up first.'
'I'll ask her what happened then...'
Having made up his mind, Kirataka spread his hands, slumped down on the sofa in laid-back posture, and began to give orders to this exclusive maid:
"Seele, make a pot of tea."
"Seele, help me clean the room."
"Seele, come here and give me a leg massage."
"Seele, come..."
The holiday time passed by bit by bit. Seele was always available when Kirataka called. She did whatever Kirataka asked her to do, just like a dedicated maid.
Well... even without this maid outfit, she would still do whatever she was asked to do, but Kirataka usually wouldn't ask Seele to help her do something.
After being called out continuously, Kirataka was the first one to feel embarrassed.
Seele is still young and at the age where she needs care. He feels a little guilty about exploiting and ordering her around like this.
Time soon came to evening.
Bronya had already returned to her room, leaving Kirataka and Seele alone in the living room on the first floor.
"Brother Kirataka, is there anything else Seele needs to do?"
The girl came to his side again and asked with a faint smile.
"...That's all. Seele, you should also take a good rest. You just came back from a mission and you've been busy all day. Don't tire yourself out."
Kirataka said.
"But the maid's work isn't done yet, is it?"
"…Seele, what do you mean by the job of a maid?"
"Well... let Seele imagine. I didn't do massage, lap pillow, coaxing to sleep, back rubbing, etc..."
Seele tilted her head slightly and spoke one by one.
"...???"
'Is this a job for a proper maid?'
Kirataka pondered in his heart.
'I always feel that someone has instilled some special and wrong perception into Seele.'
'In short, the most urgent task is to correct Seele's wrong ideas.'
So Kirataka shook his head and said:
"You don't have to do all this. Seele, you've done enough today. You should take a rest."
"Brother Kirataka, do you think Seele didn't do well enough...?"
The girl's voice revealed a bit of loss and grievance, and that pitiful little expression was enough to make one's heart skip a beat.
"No, that's not what I meant... It's just that some of the things you mentioned... Some of them are beyond your ability to do right now."
Kirataka explained carefully.
You are too young -
"oh..."
The girl put her finger on her chin and said with a half-smile:
"I understand. This is something that only sister Mei and brother Kirataka can do."
"…"
Although this is true, but...
Kirataka answered firmly:
"No, your sister Mei and I have never done anything like this."
Although other things have been done.
"Really?"
Seele seemed a little unconvinced and tilted her head slightly to look at him.
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
"Then I'll go prepare some snacks for Brother Kirataka."
The girl smiled, left his side, and walked into the kitchen with light steps.
"…"
Looking at her back, Kirataka's mouth twitched.
Only then did he realize that Seele seemed to be trying to trick him.
"This little girl...has she learned how to trick people?"
How come after just a few days away, she has changed from a weak and pure white angel to a sinister one?
But…
A sudden maid service? Plus these things are totally unlike what Seele would say or know...
Obviously, there is a master behind the scenes giving guidance.
After thinking about it, the most likely person is Rita.
'Did Rita say something to Seele?'
The more Kirataka thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, so he simply took advantage of Seele preparing snacks to sneak up to the second floor and came to the door of Bronya's room.
