Cute Bug Girl

Lord Naiyuan was strolling leisurely down the corridor upon returning to Nazarick.

After the three of them returned from Carne Village, Herohero had hastily left, saying he needed to organize the memories he had devoured.

Momonga had also been dragged back to the office by Albedo, who claimed there were many documents requiring Momonga's approval in Nazarick.

But from Albedo's expression, it was clear that the documents weren't the only thing needing approval.

Shalltear and Sephis had returned to their respective Guardian Tiers.

"So, it turns out I'm the laziest one here."

Lord Naiyuan wandered around with nothing to do. Everyone else had tasks to handle, leaving him like a salted fish with no purpose.

"Greetings, Lord Naiyuan."

Just as Lord Naiyuan was contemplating whether to go visit Aura and Mare, a petite figure suddenly darted out from somewhere.

The petite figure was wearing a maid outfit, and her voice was incredibly soft and sweet, giving one a sense of enjoyment.

"It's Entoma, I haven't seen you in ages! Come here for a hug."

Upon seeing her, Lord Naiyuan's eyes lit up. He scooped her up and spun her around several times in the air.

Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, Pleiades Sixth Rank. Outwardly, she appeared to be a cute loli maid, but her true form was a giant insect, with various insects serving different purposes all over her body.

However, Lord Naiyuan didn't find her terrifying at all. Instead, he thought she was incredibly cute. His aesthetic sense was, shall we say, a bit unusual.

"Ugh, Lord Naiyuan."

Her facial expression remained unchanged, but her voice became even softer, instantly lifting Lord Naiyuan's spirits.

After some cuddling, hugging, and lifting her high, Lord Naiyuan finally placed her on his shoulder.

"How about it? Want to eat some meat? I have many different kinds here~"

He produced several slices of meat from the Pitch Black Space above and said in a tempting tone, placing the slices before Entoma.

"L-Lord Naiyuan, please don't. I'm on a diet right now, I can't eat meat."

Entoma, sitting on Lord Naiyuan's shoulder, was a little nervous. Sitting on a Supreme Being was something she, as a maid, wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But to avoid causing trouble for the Supreme Being, Entoma didn't dare to move around.

Looking at the slices of meat before her, Entoma's gaze was instantly captivated, and she stared blankly at the tempting food.

But remembering her diet, she forcibly shifted her gaze and refused in a strained tone.

"It's okay, just two slices won't be a problem~"

Lord Naiyuan looked at the little maid in front of him, who was clearly refusing, but he didn't give up, and continued to tempt her.

He really liked her current appearance, this way of wanting to refuse but also wanting to accept.

"Mmm, really?"

"Do you think I would lie to you?"

"Come, I'll feed you, ah~"

Seeing the little maid waver, Lord Naiyuan pressed his advantage, constantly guiding her with his words while bringing the piece of meat to her mouth.

Since Entoma's face was also transformed from an insect's, Lord Naiyuan didn't bring the meat directly in front of her face, but rather to her chin.

"Since Lord has said so, I won't be polite."

Entoma muttered to herself a few times, as if convincing herself, then quickly bit down on the piece of meat at her chin and chewed it slowly.

Holding the piece of meat with both small hands, she made chewing sounds at her chin.

"Delicious!"

"If it's delicious, eat more. You're growing right now, why are you trying to lose weight? In my eyes, you'll always be the cutest, Entoma."

"Here, I have dragon meat too. It's from a Level 100 Boss, eat more, it'll be good for you."

"Mmm, delicious, thank you Lord Naiyuan."

Entoma sat on Lord Naiyuan's shoulder, continuously eating pieces of meat. Every time she was about to finish, a new piece would be brought to her mouth.

Lord Naiyuan smiled and fed Entoma pieces of meat, his face beaming with a bright smile, looking exactly like a Creepy Uncle.

The two of them, one feeding and one eating, time passed by quickly without them realizing it.

When Entoma came to her senses, she realized her stomach had gotten bigger.

"Mmm, I think I ate too much."

Patting her small belly, Entoma looked a little troubled. She had eaten so much meat without realizing it, it seemed her diet plan was ruined.

"How is it? Doesn't it feel comfortable to be full?"

"Mmm, this is the best Entoma has ever eaten, thank you Lord Naiyuan."

"Haha, you can come find me next time you want to eat."

"Mmm, no, Entoma needs to lose weight, otherwise her figure will get fat."

Entoma tilted her head and thought about it, still refusing the tempting offer. If she agreed, she felt her resolve to lose weight would be gone forever.

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. However, I stand by my word, if you want to eat, you can come find me anytime."

"Thank you, Lord Naiyuan."

"Oh right, speaking of which, Entoma, what were you originally planning to do?"

"Ugh, Entoma has to attend a meeting, a Pleiades meeting."

Naiyuan was a little surprised. Did Pleiades have meetings now? However, he was quite pleased about it. This meant the maids had developed their own ideas and were no longer just NPCs who rigidly followed rules.

"What time did you agree to meet? We've been delayed here for so long."

"It seems to be around five in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Naiyuan quietly glanced at the time. Well, it was already half-past five. He was completely late.

"I'll take you there. After all, it was me who made you stay."

"No need, Lord Naiyuan. This is Entoma's own fault. If Entoma hadn't been unable to resist."

"You'll definitely get scolded if you go now. Me going will just help you out of a tight spot."

"Please point the way."

Sensing Lord Naiyuan's resolve, Entoma didn't try to persuade him further and instead pointed in a direction.

"That way."

Hearing Entoma's instructions, Naiyuan strode forward.

He walked slowly along the corridor, made two turns, and arrived at the door of a secluded room.

This was a vacant room, originally used for storing miscellaneous items. He never expected it to become the venue for the Pleiades meeting now.

"Bang! Bang!"

Naiyuan politely knocked on the door. Although they were his subordinates, basic courtesy was still necessary.

Regarding Momonga's previous slander against him, Naiyuan felt that he had always been very polite. He didn't knock on his door before; the door just opened on its own. Yes, that was it.

It was all the door's fault that Momonga misunderstood him.

Without waiting long, a response came from inside the room, and a voice with a serious tone followed.

"Entoma, why are you so late? Everyone is waiting for you."

The door opened, and a maid wearing a pair of Flat Glasses walked out, her face showing a look of reproach.

"Could you let... Lord Naiyuan? What are you doing here?"

Before the words were finished, the maid noticed that the figure in front of the door was wrong. Upon closer inspection, she realized it wasn't her sister at all, but Lord Naiyuan.

Yuri Alpha quickly shut her mouth and immediately knelt down.

"Apologies, Lord Naiyuan, I didn't realize it was you."

Yuri said respectfully, blaming herself for mistaking the Supreme Being for someone else. Despite being the Vice Captain of the Pleiades, she had made such a simple mistake.

"It's fine. Speaking of which, you truly are as Yumiko created you. Your personality is quite similar to hers."

Ignoring her previous action, Naiyuan looked at Yuri kneeling before him and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Naiyuan. May I ask what brings you here?"

"I'm just bringing a cute little maid to the party. She's late because of me, I hope you don't mind."

As Naiyuan spoke, he gently picked Entoma, who had been sitting on his shoulder, and placed her in front of Yuri.

Realizing she was back on the ground, the little maid obediently stood to the side.

"Entoma?"

Yuri looked at her sister in surprise. She hadn't noticed earlier because of Lord Naiyuan, but she hadn't expected her to be sitting on the Supreme Being's shoulder the whole time.

"Sister!"

Seeing her sister looking at her in disbelief, Entoma softly called out to her.

"I understand, Lord Naiyuan. Thank you for taking care of my sister."

The soft voice brought Yuri back to her senses. She immediately said to Naiyuan.

"Yes, she's here now. I'll be going then. You all continue your meeting."

"And Entoma, if you want to eat next time, remember to find me."

"I understand, Lord Naiyuan."

Naiyuan said a few more words, smiled at Entoma, then turned around, waved, and left.
