Please teach Eris magic and swordsmanship, meow!

"Oh? You've got some nerve saying that!"

Sauros looked at Rudeus with a hint of admiration.

"In that case, Eris!!!"

Sauros unleashed a lion's roar that left both Radeus and Rudeus dizzy. They hurriedly covered their ears. They couldn't take another attack like that, or they would end up hard of hearing!

Apparently, Eris had learned that booming voice from Sauros too!

Just ask her to teach us, then! You rotten old man!

Hearing Sauros's voice, Eris hurried to the doorway.

Today, Eris wore a white top with black accents and a brownish skirt that fell right to her knees. But most importantly, her legs!

Eris wore white stockings that covered her from her feet to her thighs.

"Good grief, you can't see a trace of that savage girl from before. Clothes really do make the person!"

Radeus commented to Rudeus on Eris's outfit for the day.

"Yeah, yeah. Those dainty feet wrapped in stockings really make you want a taste!"

Rudeus stared at Eris's feet with a lecherous expression.

"Quite the connoisseur, huh! Lusting after everything will only ruin you!"

Radeus offered Rudeus a word of warning.

"Wrong. Lusting after everything just gives me a balanced diet!"

"Impressive!"

Radeus was at his wit's end with Rudeus. He felt Rudeus needed a taste of a personality-correcting punch.

"Eris, if you want to ask someone a favor, you need to bow your head yourself!"

Sauros addressed the delighted Eris.

"What? Didn't you say you would ask them for me?"

The delight instantly faded from Eris's face, leaving only displeasure.

"Eris! Ask them the way I taught you!"

At Sauros's words, Eris hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to act.

Eris gathered her hair into twin tails, twisted her slender waist, and stared straight at Radeus and Rudeus with a bashful expression.

"Please teach Eris magic and swordsmanship, meow!"

"Huh?"

Silence fell. Radeus and Rudeus hadn't even understood what had happened.

The two stared at Eris in bewilderment.

"Am I seeing things?"

"No, no. We couldn't both be seeing things at once, could we? Could this be an illusion?"

"Possibly!"

They would rather believe they had fallen under an illusion than believe Eris would strike such an adorable pose to ask a favor.

At that moment, Sauros and Philip walked over to Eris and patted her head.

"(ｏ￣∀￣)ノYes~ That's it! That's our Eris! So cute!"

"Of course, you two will agree when Eris is this adorable, won't you?"

With Sauros looking as though he would beat them both to death if they refused, neither dared say no. They hurriedly nodded their agreement.

Radeus and Rudeus swore they had never nodded so fast in their lives. Their heads were about to fall off.

"No problem. Leave it to us!"

"The masters are very fond of beastfolk. That was an imitation of drooping ears!"

Alphonse, the butler, considerately explained Eris's behavior to them.

"So that's it. They have taste! House Boreas really is wonderful. The people have taste, they're pleasant to listen to, and most importantly, there are endless beast-eared girls. Hehehe..."

Radeus wholeheartedly approved of House Boreas's aesthetic tastes and gave Philip and Sauros a thumbs-up.

Although Rudeus wore a disdainful expression, his eyes kept darting toward the beast-eared maid nearby.

"Who are you trying to fool?"

"Oh, do you understand their charms too?"

As though they had found kindred spirits, Sauros and Philip were about to pull the two into a discussion of the wonderful qualities of beast-eared girls.

"Father! Grandfather!"

Seeing that the four were about to launch into a discussion, Eris hurriedly interrupted them. She had come today to have the two become her tutors, not to watch a discussion.

At Eris's words, the four had no choice but to cut the conversation short and save it for next time.

Before they knew it, afternoon had arrived. It was time for Ghislaine to teach the three swordsmanship.

All three held wooden swords. Eris looked at Radeus excitedly and asked with keen interest.

"Hey, hey, Radeus! How did you do those sword moves when you beat up those thugs?"

"Pretty cool, right?"

"Cool!"

Radeus was very satisfied with Eris's answer and was about to speak, only for Ghislaine to interrupt his routine.

"Oh, fine, then. Sit tight. That was a..."

"Radeus used North God Style techniques!"

"Uh!"

Having been interrupted, Radeus was speechless. He had been getting ready to give Eris a proper explanation!

"As long as you practice hard, you'll be able to do it sooner or later too!"

Ghislaine spoke to Eris.

"For now, we'll start with a sparring match. I have some understanding of Radeus's ability, so Eris and Rudeus will spar."

"Huh?"

Hearing that he would have to fight Eris, Rudeus shuddered, remembering how her punches had landed solidly on him before.

"It's fine. I'll go easy on you!"

Eris spoke while staring fixedly at Rudeus.

Hey, hey, hey. That look in your eyes doesn't exactly say you'll go easy on me.

Eris also wanted to see whether Rudeus's swordsmanship was as accomplished as his magic.

With no other choice, Rudeus assumed his stance, ready for a heated bout with Eris.

"Don't get beaten to death!" Radeus told Rudeus.

"That's hilarious. How could I possibly lose to some redheaded girl? I was just letting her win before, okay! Now I'm going all out. I hope Eris can satisfy me!"

"Are those your last words before battle?"

Radeus could figure out who would win without even using his brain. Satisfy him? If Rudeus managed not to have his face beaten to a pulp by Eris, that would already be an exceptional performance.

How little did you eat to get this drunk?

Looking at Rudeus, whose stance was full of openings, Eris hesitated a little.

Is he deliberately baiting me?

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack?"

Rudeus addressed Eris with the air of a master swordsman.

"Eris, what are you waiting for?"

Ghislaine urged her on. This kind of hesitation wasn't like Eris.

Hearing Ghislaine's urging, Eris threw caution to the wind and went all out!

"Now, let me see what you're made of!"

Rudeus addressed Eris with an arrogant expression.

Hearing Rudeus's words, Eris became even more cautious and moved faster than before.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait..."

Seeing Eris move so fast, Rudeus was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't keep up with her movements at all.

At their next exchange, there was a crack, and Rudeus dropped straight into sleep.

Eris was equally bewildered to see Rudeus go down in one hit. She looked questioningly at Radeus.

"Is he putting on an act for me?"

"No act. That's just how good he is!"

"Ugh! Pathetic!"
