"Are you worried about salary?"

Remilia tilted his head slightly, then patted his chest and said in a sudden realization, "Don't worry, I will... never treat you badly in this regard. When I inherit the family business in the future, you will be my senior minister."

"..."

The silver-haired maid was silent, looking at the cute little face Remilia that was looking up at her. That delicate face had a proud expression, and behind it seemed to flash two golden 'tycoons! 'Big characters.

It has to be said that on the premise of knowing the identity and background of this little loli, one can clearly know... how much crazy value does those words like chuunibyou reveal.

but.

"Lady Remilia, why are you so insistent on me being your maid?"

She looked at this blue-haired loli with some trouble.

Although she is confident that she will not be inferior to anyone else just because of her appearance, this should not be enough to attract her. As a little lolita, Remilia is the right one.

Unless this little loli can see that she is born with special powers.

"... As expected, you are also from the mysterious world."

Remilia smiled slightly, and then said proudly, "My father told me that there will be a maid who will be entangled with my fate in the future. She will be one of the most important people in my life."

She looked at the handsome and free-spirited silver-haired maid in front of her with satisfaction.

"And you are the maid that fate has revealed to me!"

It's not a lie, the maid in front of me who looks calm and chic is the maid of fate who was informed by her about the power of destiny.

Therefore, we must get her no matter what the cost.

(...Trouble.)

Silver-haired girl's brows jumped slightly. Seeing the persistence and will burning in blue-haired loli's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a headache. This little loli seemed to be determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.

Although she didn't hate this little loli, she felt it was very cute.

However, she was born as a demon hunter, and many Dead Apostle died in her hands. However, Remilia is the Princess in the Dead Apostle world.

This conflict cannot be solved casually.

Otherwise, it would be acceptable for her to work as a maid with a salary much higher than ordinary people.

After all, this blue-haired loli... is a real rich man.

"Please forgive me for refusing."

Bowing slightly, Silver-haired girl refused calmly.

Seeing this, Remilia didn't care. He just looked at the girl with Ruby eyes and asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked the maid what her name is yet."

"Izayo Sakuya, this is my name."

The silver-haired maid gently put her hand on her chest and introduced herself with a smile. Although she was a demon hunter who hunted anomalies for a living, she did not dislike such a cute and slightly arrogant little loli.

Moreover, she could also feel that this little loli was warm and sincere to her.

"Izayo Sakuya, um, I noted it down."

Remilia nodded seriously, then looked at Izayo Sakuya and said, "I want to have a private chat with the maid. I hope you can chat with me for a while, Sakuya."

"... Miss Remy, ours is a regular coffee shop."

Shaking his head slightly, Izayo Sakuya shook his head slightly. "If you want to find a maid cafe where you can chat, please go to Akihabara. Our store does not provide such services."

"Hey... Japanese maid cafes are all places where you can chat with others!"

Remilia was a little surprised and made a sound.

"No, you have some strange misunderstanding of Japanese culture."

Izayo Sakuya sighed lightly. Although she is not Japanese... she recently moved to Japan for some reasons, but because of this she can understand Remilia's thoughts.

"But, I want to chat with Sakuya~"

Slightly pitiful, Remilia raised his hand and grabbed the corner of Izayo Sakuya's skirt, with a pitiful expression on his delicate and cute face, just like a poor cat that has been falling in the rain, making people feel pity for her unconsciously.

"Is that okay, Sakuya?"

She gently pulled the maid's skirt and asked softly.

Seeing this, Izayo Sakuya's heart seemed to be pierced by an invisible arrow. His originally tough heart quickly softened, and he even wanted to hold the little lolita in front of him in his arms.

So, after a slight hesitation, he replied.

"Okay."

It worked.

Remilia showed a smile of joy. As a young child, she was born knowing how to take advantage of her own advantages. As a life form of the true ancestor, her appearance was flawless, and it was very effective to act cute and coquettishly.

Under normal circumstances, using this method to deal with Mother is almost always effective.

Now, for the first time, she used it to deal with someone other than her mother and father.

Outstanding effect!

Chapter 360: Command Spell distributed

The sky is thick with dark clouds and it rains continuously.

On the streets of London, a woman wearing a crisp suit and short rose-red hair was walking alone holding a black umbrella.

Her temperament is capable and strong, and she looks very mature.

However, if you are careful, you will find that this capable-looking woman is in a distracted state, as if she is troubled by some problem.

"Holy Grail... why did you choose me?"

The woman walking in the rain stopped, turned to look at herself reflected in the bakery glass, and murmured something as subtle as a question.

Her name is Bazett Fraga Macramis, and she is currently the executor of Sealing Designation.

Not long ago, she was selected by the Holy Grail War ceremony in her sleep and became Master competing for All-Purpose Wish-Granting Machine. However, she felt a little confused.

If... the Holy Grail wants to choose Master, wouldn't it be better to choose the nearest local Magecraft division.

Why, choose yourself who is far away in London.

She knows... what a miraculous Magecraft is Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, which can have a miraculous ceremony to reach Vortex of the Root.

It is said that people who have wishes placed on the Holy Grail will be selected by the Holy Grail to become Master. Then, they will fight among themselves, and the winner will get the opportunity to enter Vortex of the Root.

But if that's the case... why choose her.

In the Magecraft world... there are many wishes for the Holy Grail. Those Magecraft masters who have worked hard for generations to pursue Vortex of the Root have a strong desire that has seeped into their blood.

With such a strong desire placed on the Holy Grail and such a large population base, for what reason did she choose to participate in Holy Grail War.

In other words, she actually has a strong desire for the Holy Grail.

"Anyway... let's go to Fuyuki City first."

With a slight sigh, Bazett turned and left.

Although she didn't know if she had any unclear wishes, but if she could... there was someone she wanted to summon no matter what.

That is, the legendary hero, Cu Chulainn.

It was dark.

Asagami Fujino walked out of the apartment elevator carrying a bag of vegetables, walked lightly to a door, and skillfully took out the key and opened the door.

"Shiki... today is beef stew with potatoes."

She told the direction of the living room what she was going to cook tonight.

In the direction of the living room, the light seems a bit dim. It should be because the indoor lights are not turned on. The light source should come from the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window.

It looked like there was no one at home.

However, she was certain that there was someone in the room.

soon.

"Got it."

A cold female voice came from the living room announcing the fact that someone was there.

In response, Asagami Fujino smiled gently, bent down and put on a pair of shoes, then brushed her hair beside her ears and walked straight towards the kitchen.

Now that she and Shi left Ryougi Family to live in the outside world, she had to be self-reliant in terms of food... Although it was not impossible to order takeout, or simply let Ryougi Family send a dedicated chef to cook.

However, this... wouldn't it be the same as in the Ryougi Family?

Nowadays, the reason why Shiki moved out of the Ryougi Family is to get rid of the interference of the Ryougi Family, which is probably the kind of thing... when children grow up, they need to enter society and experience life independently.

However, it may also be related to the Ryougi Family's current attitude towards 'style'.

That was not the way he looked at the future head of the family, but rather... the way he looked at God. Ever since he discovered that Ryougi Shiki has power far beyond human intelligence.

In the Ryougi Family people... treat Ryougi Shiki like a god.

Of course, Ryougi Family the way people look at Shiki nowadays, there is actually no problem at all with the existence hidden within the body of Shiki.

If it is a god... there is actually no problem in itself.

Time passes.

The sky outside the window turned completely dark.

"... Well, it's a bit salty."

Asagami Fujino picked up a piece of beef and ate it, and her eyebrows frowned slightly. This was her first time trying to make beef stew with potatoes, and she was not precise about the heat and ingredients.

"... I don't think there's any problem."

Ryougi Shiki picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and ate it. Even though she gave a cold evaluation, she was not just giving words of comfort. This dish actually fell into the pass category, and it was not unpalatable.

It's just that Fujino has relatively high requirements for his cooking skills.

"Shiki is really gentle."

Asagami Fujino smiled slightly and said as if he was joking, "No wonder Lady Touko likes you so much. It's almost to the point of talking about marriage."

"... Hmph, boring"

Ryougi Shiki was slightly startled, and then said calmly, "Where did you get this conclusion? My relationship with that guy is just..."

Before she finished speaking, her brows wrinkled.

Frankly speaking, she doesn't know how to define her relationship with Aozaki Touko. The process of building her relationship with Aozaki Touko is very weird, and it is not a step where people first get to know each other and then like them.

Rather, it's the weird process of first falling in love with this person... and then getting to know each other.

"Forget it, this kind of thing is not important."

Shaking her head, she decisively put this troublesome matter behind her.

No matter what the relationship between Aozaki Touko and her is, as long as 'He' still likes this person Aozaki Touko, then the future between them has actually been locked.

Of course, she had no objection to this.

After all, 'He' is also himself.

"Speaking of which, Shiki, when did you get your tattoo?"

Suddenly, Asagami Fujino saw the pattern on the back of Ryougi Shiki's hand. It was a strange red pattern that seemed to have a mysterious beauty, but it had no special meaning.

"Oh, this~"

Ryougi Shiki put down the chopsticks in his hands and showed the red lines on the back of his hands to Fujino: "According to Touko, this is called 'Command Spell'. It is said to be a certificate for participating in Holy Grail War."

"That ritual... isn't it very dangerous!"

Asagami Fujino's face changed slightly. She remembered Lady Touko and them when she was a child, and told them about Holy Grail War. That was a ritual where Lady Touko would fall into a very dangerous situation.

The confrontation between life and death... made her nervous as an audience.

"..."

Ryougi Shiki was slightly silent, looking at Fujino who looked nervous, she suddenly remembered... In Fujino's impression, Holy Grail War was a very dangerous ritual.
