Chapter 553

"My fault?"

Shirou asked in bewilderment.

Irisviel nodded seriously. "Yes, Shirou always makes such delicious food!"

I couldn't resist eating a lot, and every time I stepped on the scale, I had to mentally prepare myself. The subsequent dieting was... sigh.

Once a princess of Einzbern, now a true woman, she smiled to hide her shyness.

"Although it was tough, hearing your praise, Shirou, made all the effort worthwhile."

"Hey... Shirou, am I still considered charming in your eyes? I shouldn't be too much less attractive than the goddesses, right?"

"Of course, Eiri won't lose to anyone, not even a goddess."

Shirou told the truth.

"Very good."

Irisviel smiled slightly and said, "Anyone can just talk the talk, but could you be a little more enthusiastic?"

Shirou nodded and wrapped his arms around Irisviel's waist underwater.

Her slender, supple, snake-like waist was wrapped around the boy's strong, powerful arms.

Hehe~~~

A blush rose to Irisviel's beautiful face.

"Shirou... the bathtub feels a bit cramped, let's adjust it..."

How should it be adjusted?

Irisviel shifted her position in the bathtub.

"... What's wrong?"

Shirou asked.

"Shirou..."

"I understand, I just can't do anything with you."

After that, the boy passionately confessed his feelings to her.

The Amamiya Residence always took turns using the bathroom.

Because Shirou and Irisviel spent too long in the bathroom that night, it was already late at night when it was Sella and Ley Stritt's turn to use it.

Sella was actually somewhat prepared because the two people had used the bathroom for so long.

That being said...

"... Hmm."

The android maid's face turned pale and then red.

Cleaning the bathroom alone must take quite a bit of time.

Tsk... Shirou, he promised me he'd be more restrained next time!

However, Sella did not miss the happiness and dazed look on the lady's face as she stumbled out of the bathroom.

Therefore, Sella had no room for criticism; she simply hoped they could stop a little bit.

"... Heave-ho."

Ritseliete, who was standing to the side, began to take off her clothes.

After the maid outfit was removed, the Amamiya Residence's most beautiful figure was exposed to the warm air.

"Wait, Liz... what are you doing?"

Ley Stritt tilted her head and said, "Get ready to take a bath. I'll take a shower, Sella, go take a bath."

"Well...!"

Sella stared speechlessly at the bathtub that Shirou and Irisviel had just used.

This... should I just soak it?

The android maid turned deathly pale: This is definitely going to be bad, isn't it?

No, I am different from the lady; I am merely a mass-produced artificial human...

So I don't have the ability to conceive a human child... probably?

Sella had no experience with men and was unsure how it would actually turn out.

"Sella, aren't you going to soak?"

"How can this water quality possibly be used anymore...?"

"Sella, is it that you don't want to use the water that the lady used?"

"What... Of course not! How could I possibly dislike water that Madam used?!"

If this continues, she'll become a worthless maid who betrays her master.

Sella's pride would never allow this to happen.

She bit her lip and began to take off her clothes.

Although all the artificial humans of Einzbern were modeled after "Winter Saintess" Justiça, there are still inevitable differences between each individual.

Sella has slender limbs and a toned figure, the complete opposite of the curvaceous Ley Stritt... even though they are twin sisters from the same batch.

Sella bypassed Ley Stritt, who was showering herself, and sat in the bathtub.

"... call."

Sella let out a soft sigh.

I feel a bit restless.

Just thinking about how Shirou was in this bathtub ten minutes ago...

Sella felt uneasy.

Hmm.

She shook her head, clearing her mind of the random thoughts swirling around her.

... Um?

Just then, the android maid caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.

Two handprints were clearly imprinted on the damp bathroom window.

And the marks left on the woman's body after she was forcibly pressed against the glass...

"!!"

Sella quickly turned her head, a blush rising on her fair cheeks.

It's best to close your eyes, lest you see something you shouldn't...

Thinking this, the android maid closed her eyes, quietly enjoying the hot water and Serenity.

"Sella... Sella..."

It seemed like Ley Stritt's voice could be heard.

"Are you going to stay a little longer? I'll head out now..."

Um, sorry, let me soak a little longer... I've been under so much mental stress tonight.

"Don't catch a cold, Sella."

I think I heard the bathroom door close.

Sella nestled comfortably in the bathtub and drifted off to sleep.

That was several years ago, not long after Irisviel had moved into the Amamiya Residence.

Although she was a seasoned and capable maid, she was still somewhat unaccustomed to working in a Japanese-style mansion for the first time.

The kitchen, the Japanese-style room, how to fold tatami mats, cleaning the corridors and courtyard... all these are challenges for Sella.

"Leave it to me, madam. I will certainly not disgrace the name of the Einzbern."

Sella patted her chest and assured the mistress of this.

That being said, there are still many problems in practice.

At that moment, the person who struck up a conversation with the troubled Sella was none other than the boy she considered her nemesis.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Shirou Amamiya appeared in the kitchen.

"No, not at all."

Sella answered without hesitation.

Her master, Irisviel, was extremely dependent on, and even doted on, Shirou.

Her sister, Ley Stritt, had long since lowered her guard and now trusted the boy completely.

But Sella is different from them; she doesn't trust humans so easily.

"He doesn't look like he's alright."

Shirou looked at the pot in front of Sella, then at the seasonings she was holding.

"I see, you didn't understand the amount of soy sauce to use?"

Ignoring Sella's resentful expression, Shirou naturally tied on his apron and began his explanation.

"Like this... like this..."

"Miss Sella, why don't you give it a try yourself?"

"Um."

The android maid nodded and began operating the device under Shirou's smiling gaze.

"So?"

"Right."

"Let me try it."

"How about it?"

"Mmm... it tastes so fresh! It seems like it'll work!"

Sella took a sip of the successfully made sukiyaki sauce and smiled happily.

At that moment, she noticed Shirou staring blankly at her.

"What's wrong, Mr. Amamiya?"

"It's nothing, I was just a little surprised... I didn't know Miss Sella could laugh."

Upon hearing this, Sella frowned, revealing her signature displeasure.

"Of course I'll laugh. Do you think I'm a demon?"

"Ugh, he's giving me that devilish, stern look again... He's so cute when he smiles."

"... Ugh!"

Sella's cheeks flushed.

This was the first time she had been praised for being cute by a man, a human being, and she blushed instinctively.

Are you playing a trick on me, Mr. Amamiya?

"That's not what I meant," Shirou said, scratching the back of his head.
