Maid Meeting

After Naiyuan left, Yuri rose to her feet and entered the room with a complicated expression, leading the obedient Entoma inside.

The room was not small, around a hundred square meters, and looked remarkably spacious.

There was nothing else inside, only a table placed quietly in the middle.

Two sets of tea ware sat on the table, with clouds of steaming vapor continuously rising from them.

Six chairs were arranged around the table. Three people were already seated, fiddling with their little belongings to pass the time.

Solution was not here. Because she had to look after Herohero, the only thing she needed to do now was attend to him.

"Why did Yuri take so long to come in?"

"And Entoma, you were half an hour late. Even if you are my little sister, I will not forgive you so easily."

The speaker was an energetic-looking maid named Lupus. She had red hair and slightly brown skin, giving off a sunny and lively impression at first glance.

But could such a maid truly exist in monster-filled Nazarick?

The answer was no.

She usually acted cheerful and bright, though she was actually black-bellied. She loved suddenly appearing to frighten people, spoke frivolously, treated strangers like old friends, and enjoyed vividly telling dirty jokes in front of others.

Yet behind the scenes, she was an extreme sadist on par with Solution.

What she loved most was seeing the despair on people's faces when their hopes were shattered.

"I ran into Lord Naiyuan, so I was delayed for a while."

Yuri said indifferently as she sat in her seat. Entoma also found her own seat and sat down.

"Lord Naiyuan? That is truly fortunate. He is the kindest and most powerful Supreme Being."

Hearing this, Lupus looked at the two of them with some envy.

"Yes, Lord Naiyuan is very nice. He gave me lots of meat."

The obedient Entoma voiced her opinion as well. In her eyes, Lord Naiyuan had not only given her lots of delicious food.

He had even personally brought her to the meeting. He had none of the arrogance of a Supreme Being and was the best Supreme Being in her eyes.

"Were you late because of that? You are really lucky, little sister Entoma."

The speaking maid was as petite as Entoma. Her delicate features made her look like a doll designed by an artist, one eye covered by an eyepatch while the other shone like an emerald.

Although she also wore a Maid Outfit, hers looked especially distinctive. Her clothes had many strange little ornaments, and a white assault rifle rested beside her, making her look quite adorable.

"You should call me big sister, little sister CZ."

Entoma said unhappily. Since the Supreme Beings had never designated which of them was the elder sister, CZ and Entoma often argued over this matter, as they both believed they were the elder one.

"I am sorry, but the Supreme Beings never stated that I am the little sister, so I cannot agree."

Facing Entoma, CZ replied without any change in tone, her face expressionless.

"Then next time, I will go find Lord Naiyuan and ask him to change it back for me."

After hearing CZ's words, Entoma immediately said this as if she had just thought of something.

With how much Lord Naiyuan liked her, she felt that such a small matter would certainly not be a problem.

Then she could openly make the other girl call her big sister.

"Hehe."

Thinking of this, Entoma could not help laughing.

"No. We cannot trouble a Supreme Being over such a trivial matter."

CZ calmly refuted her, though if one listened carefully, there was already a trace of panic in her voice.

She and Entoma had always fought over the position of elder sister. If Entoma truly succeeded, she would become Entoma's little sister.

That was not something she wanted to see.

"Looks like you will have to be the little sister, CZ."

Lupus seized the chance to stir things up. For someone as black-bellied as her, nothing made her happier than teasing her two little sisters.

"Lupus, restrain yourself. Stop joking around."

The black-haired maid said coldly, telling her not to go too far.

"Nabe, you are no fun at all."

Hearing the advice from the maid beside her, Lupus pouted and said boredly before obediently returning to her seat.

"Enough fooling around. It is time to begin today's meeting."

As the Vice Captain and eldest sister, Yuri tapped the table and spoke sternly.

At once, the others stopped playing around and sat properly, looking exactly like students before a teacher.

If Naiyuan had been here, he would definitely have sighed. As expected of something Yumiko created, that teacher-like air was far too familiar.

"Although we are half an hour late, I hereby declare today's meeting officially open."

"The topic of this meeting is who would be more suitable to become Lord Naiyuan's partner for the future of Nazarick."

Yuri sat upright and announced today's topic of discussion.

Lord Momonga had Lady Albedo, and Lord Herohero had Solution, but there was not a single member of the opposite sex by Lord Naiyuan's side.

Therefore, for Nazarick's future, the maids had convened this meeting.

"Question. Would Lady Aura not work?"

CZ asked expressionlessly. In her view, Lady Aura and Lord Naiyuan seemed to have a very good relationship. Last time, she had even seen Lord Naiyuan stroking Lady Aura's hair.

"I considered that, but Lady Aura told me that Lord Naiyuan viewed her more as a daughter. He had no other intentions."

Yuri shook her head and explained.

She had not failed to consider it, but the result had not been ideal.

"Then what about Lady Shalltear?"

Nabe suggested another candidate, saying that Lady Shalltear could still be considered.

"Lady Shalltear seems to lean more toward Lord Herohero than Lord Naiyuan."

Yuri said helplessly.

She had looked into Shalltear's thoughts. Compared to Lord Naiyuan, Shalltear said she was more infatuated with Lord Herohero's tentacles.

Although Shalltear had added that both of them would work, Yuri had not taken those words to heart.

How could one person serve two Supreme Beings? Would that not damage the friendship between the two Supreme Beings? How could there be such a good deal?

"I do not know Lord Naiyuan very well, but as we just said, he is a kind Supreme Being. So perhaps we should not choose a partner for him and instead let him choose for himself."

Lupus spoke with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

Nabe spoke indifferently, but a trace of emotion appeared on her face, ruining her image as an icy beauty.

"Letting him choose for himself means that we also have a chance, right?"

CZ's tone did not change, but her eyes shifted slightly as she spoke.

"Wasn't big sister Solution with Lord Herohero..."

Entoma, sitting in the corner, suddenly said this, looking at the others with an indescribable light in her eyes.

"But what about Lady Aura?"

"It is fine. Lady Aura will not mind."

Yuri adjusted her glasses and spoke to the four of them as though talking to herself.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point.

"I will be leaving first."

"Me too."

"Goodbye."

After a brief exchange of glances, they began saying their farewells. Each of them had her own thoughts.
