Be My Maids

After all, although the Revolutionary Army had been destroyed, some remnants still remained.

Beyond that, there were other countries in distant lands.

These were all sources of supernatural knowledge, and they needed to be brought into his territory as soon as possible.

In any case, returning only took a thought from Lin Luo. It was extremely convenient.

That day!

At Lin Luo's home!

[Lin Luo]

[Class: Origin Mage]

[Magic: Origin Lightning Magic L31 (+)]

[Origin: 17 points]

"I wonder how strong I am now?"

Lin Luo's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the text.

Just now, he had spent all the Origin Points he had acquired.

He could only feel that his strength had increased many times over.

Strictly speaking, however, he had no precise idea how much.

After all, this world was a hodgepodge.

Its power system was already a complete mess.

Even among the Devils, things grew murkier the higher their strength climbed.

Who was stronger and who was weaker could only be determined through a fight.

"Hm?"

Just then, Lin Luo gave a soft exclamation. As though he had sensed something, an amused look appeared on his face.

Chapter 35: Be My Maids

Atop a building!

Two figures were watching the distant Apartment.

"Irina, is that where the Devil lives?"

The speaker was a tall, attractive girl with short, shoulder-length blue hair.

Strapped to her back was a bandage-wrapped greatsword at least as tall as she was, making for a rather odd sight.

"Xenovia, you should trust the information I gathered."

The other girl replied casually.

The girl called Irina was cute, like a little sister from next door.

Irina said seriously, "This man isn't someone to take lightly. He's Rias's fiancé now, and Freed died at his hands."

Xenovia nodded. "In other words, whatever we do here, we can't avoid dealing with him, right?"

"Exactly. That's why we need to observe him first."

With that, neither spoke again. Their gazes sharpened, as though they had become true warriors.

Just then, a leisurely voice rang out.

"Interesting. Could you tell me what you're planning to do here?"

In an instant, Xenovia and Irina jolted, both rolling away and assuming fighting stances.

With serious expressions, they looked toward the source of the voice.

"Hello there, you two from the Church!"

Lin Luo stood on the rooftop railing, greeting them amiably.

"Seeing a Devil is hardly a good thing."

Xenovia's gaze was sharp, and she already had her greatsword in hand. "When... exactly did you get here?"

"Wasn't I the one who asked a question first?"

Lin Luo jumped down from the railing and walked slowly forward. "Still, I've always given pretty girls special treatment."

After looking them over, Lin Luo said, "I've been here since you started talking."

"Just like the information said. A perverted Devil."

Irina's pretty face flushed slightly. "But don't misunderstand. We mean you no harm. How about letting us leave?"

"Hey, hey. You were the ones peeping on me first, you know?"

"What do you mean, peeping? We were only observing."

Irina bristled instantly. "Don't say things that could give people the wrong idea!"

Lin Luo did not reply, merely giving her a look that asked what the difference was.

Xenovia Quarta and Irina Shidou.

He had recognized them the moment he saw them.

But that was as far as it went.

As for why they had come here, he had his suspicions, but he was not certain.

"Fine. Since you like peeping, I can give you an opportunity."

Xenovia looked bewildered and instinctively asked, "What opportunity?"

Lin Luo smiled. "Become my servants, of course. Then you can indulge your desire to peep on me whenever you want."

Irina's eyes widened in disbelief. "No matter how you look at it, wouldn't you be the one getting the better deal?"

"Really?"

Lin Luo blinked. "Aren't you two the ones benefiting?"

Irina: "..."

Xenovia: "..."

This Devil was utterly shameless.

Ignoring their looks, Lin Luo continued, "So, what's your answer?"

Xenovia held her sword in both hands and pointed it straight at Lin Luo. "I refuse. I won't allow you to desecrate my faith."

"Exactly!"

Irina said indignantly, "Don't you think you're asking too much?"

"Too much?"

Lin Luo gave them an amused look and grinned. "Don't forget, I'm a Devil."

"Well..."

Xenovia and Irina were both stunned.

When they thought of it that way!

His actions actually made perfect sense.

"If you refuse, you can't blame me for what happens next."

Without giving them time to let their thoughts wander, Lin Luo advanced again.

Feeling the pressure bearing down on them, both girls became wary.

"Although I have no intention of making enemies of you Devils..."

Xenovia took a deep breath. "You're the one forcing my hand."

The instant those words left her lips, Xenovia shot forward like a blazing star.

But as quickly as she had charged, she came back even faster.

Crack!

The greatsword flew backward and plunged hard into the ground.

Xenovia herself slid several meters across the ground.

At that moment, Irina froze completely.

Her eyes were wide, filled with shock and disbelief.

So fast!

She did not even know what had happened.

"Now you understand the gap between us, right?" Lin Luo slowly withdrew his hand, smiling.

Still, the way that felt just now...

So soft!

A moment later, Irina came to her senses and hurried to help Xenovia up.

"I'm fine!"

Xenovia waved a hand, then gave Lin Luo a conflicted look. "Why did you hold back?"

"Because I want to make you my servant."

"Keep dreaming. That's impossible."

Irina said firmly, "Even if neither of us is a match for you, we will never abandon our faith."

Xenovia agreed. "Exactly. Even if we die, we will never fall and become Devils."

"I see. What a pain."

Lin Luo looked troubled, but finally revealed his true aim. "Then let's change the terms. As long as you're in this city, you'll be my maids."

Irina instinctively asked, "How is that any different from before?"

"You won't become Devils. Isn't that what you wanted?"

Lin Luo sounded puzzled. "Besides, you're members of the Church. How could I possibly let you wander around freely? This is the biggest concession I can make."

"If it's only being maids... I suppose we could."

Considering the difference in their strength, Irina thought for a moment, then nodded.

Then she said solemnly, "But only ordinary housekeeping. Absolutely nothing else."

"Of course. I'm a complete gentleman."

"Heh. Are you?"

The corner of Irina's mouth twitched.

If she could actually beat this Devil...

She would definitely teach him a lesson.

Xenovia asked quietly, "Irina, what exactly is a maid?"

She had grown up in the Church and had very little knowledge of everyday life outside it.

"..."

Irina fell silent, then finally sighed. "Forget it. You don't need to know. Just follow my lead."

"Okay!"

Xenovia nodded readily.

As long as she did not become a Devil...

Settling this peacefully was fine, too.

After all, their orders from above were to avoid conflict with the Devils as much as possible.
