"Maid!"
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth. At first, when Naoki Senju called her a maid, she thought it was just Naoki Senju weird sense of humor. She never expected that Naoki Senju actually wanted her to be his maid!
"That's absolutely impossible! I am the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure! I would rather die than wear your maid outfit!"
Mei Terumi threw the pretty dress in her hand at Naoki Senju. She had even thought about trying it on, but now that she knew it was a maid's dress, there was no way she could wear it, no matter how pretty it was!
Naoki Senju, whose eyes were covered by the maid dress, wasn't in a hurry. He slowly returned the maid dress to Mei Terumi. To prevent Mei Terumi from tearing up the expensive and intricately designed maid dress, Naoki Senju added:
"If the maid refuses this mission, then Ao and Chōjūrō will have no choice but to remain in Konoha."
Threatened once again Mei Terumi glared hatefully at the despicable man. How naive she had been to expect him to be gentler!
"Heh, as expected of Naoki Senju. I agree to your conditions. Release Ao back to Kirigakure, and by the way, please pass on a message for me: once he returns to Kirigakure, everything is up to him." Mei Terumi sneered, showing no awareness whatsoever of her status as a prisoner and maid.
" Lord Mizukage is truly generous. In response, I'll make the decision: let Kirigakure as well," Chōjūrō Naoki Senju said, feigning magnanimity.
For Naoki Senju, Chōjūrō and Ao would definitely have to be returned to Kirigakure, and some of Mei Terumi's staunch subordinates should also be returned to Kirigakure first. Otherwise, if Mei Terumi returned to Kirigakure with the Cursed Seal, and Kirigakure elected a new Mizukage, then there would be no one left to cry to.
Chōjūrō and Ao returned to Kirigakure first, which would help Mei Terumi stabilize the situation and secure her position as Mizukage. This would be beneficial to Mei Terumi and also to Naoki Senju.
Mei Terumi the reason for Naoki Senju's sudden 'generosity', but she was still very satisfied with the result. Although Ao's Byakugan was destroyed, Ao's strength was not based on the Byakugan to begin with, and with Chōjūrō's assistance, stabilizing Kirigakure was no longer a problem.
Mei Terumi picked up the so-called maid outfit and examined it. She was satisfied with the appearance of the dress, but the meaning it represented made Mei Terumi very resistant. Then Mei Terumi looked up and stared intently at Naoki Senju, who was still unwilling to leave.
Naoki Senju felt slightly uncomfortable being stared at, but before he could speak, Mei Terumi spoke first:
"So, how much longer are you going to stand here? Do you want me to change it in front of you?"
Mei Terumi's provocative words made Naoki Senju sense a hint of danger. If he stayed here, this woman Mei Terumi, might fight to the death without regard for anything else.
"Of course not, I'm really looking forward to the Lord Mizukage's maid outfit."
Naoki Senju's identity as the Mizukage was revealed once again, infuriating Mei Terumi. However, the situation was beyond her control, Mei Terumi was helpless.
"Hmph, you'd better go outside and wait there obediently!"
Naoki Senju was kicked out of the room by Mei Terumi, who then kicked him as if Mei Terumi retaliation. However, Chakra's kick was weak Mei Terumi was restricted.
The door slammed shut with a loud bang, and from that resounding slam, it was easy to sense the depth of Mei Terumi's resentment.
Unfortunately, the sound of her undressing, which could be used to mix rice with other dishes, did not penetrate the thick walls. Naoki Senju waited boredly in the corridor for nearly half an hour Mei Terumi's voice finally reached him.
"Alright, come in."
Naoki Senju eagerly pushed open the door, only to find Mei Mizukage Mei Terumi, who usually appeared alluring and seductive but was actually arrogant and unapproachable, willingly dressed in a gentle and lovely maid outfit. What a rare sight this was!
The door was slowly pushed open, and Naoki Senju's anticipation grew. What kind of expression would Mei Terumi have?
Anticipation? Disdain? Shyness? Or even more allure?
When Naoki Senju's gaze was fully focused on the room, he saw a pair of expensively custom-made black stockings covering a pair of slender legs, and Mei Terumi's figure was even more outstanding than Guren's. The maid outfit that originally fit her was stretched taut by Mei Terumi.
Upon seeing Naoki Senju, Mei Terumi, dressed in a shameful maid outfit, felt even more conflicted. She felt she should be ashamed and disgusted by the man forcing her, but at this moment, she wanted him to see her most beautiful side.
The reason for this might be that Naoki Senju was the first man to defeat her.
Although there are many outstanding peers in Kirigakure, no one dares to pursue her because of the prestige that Mei Terumi has built up over the years, and Mei Terumi doesn't even look at them.
Mei Terumi wouldn't be too demanding about her partner's strength and appearance, but their strength couldn't be too much lower than hers, at least an Elite Jonin, and they couldn't be older than her. Their appearance also had to be decent; at the very least, they had to be somewhat handsome...
Although these conditions are all very 'simple', Mei Terumi has never found a suitable partner. She is now in her twenties, approaching thirty, and is still all alone.
This also led to Mei Terumi being extremely sensitive to words such as 'engagement,' 'arranged marriage,' and 'marriage,' even homophones. Even if her trusted bodyguard Ao accidentally mentioned them, he would be scolded by Mei Terumi and then sent to clean toilets.
But on the very day of the inauguration ceremony, Naoki Senju barged directly into her life and left an indelible impression on her.
If we set aside their differing perspectives, perhaps there's a chance they could become partners...
However, the reality is that the positions of both sides dictate that they will be in an opposing relationship!
" Lord Mizukage, this maid outfit fits you perfectly and looks beautiful, so I believe you can fulfill your duties as a Lord Mizukage."
Naoki Senju's personality is really hard to like... Mei Terumi suppressed the anger that had been building up inside her, the raging rage burning away any goodwill she had just developed.
"Hmph, I am the Mizukage of Kirigakure. It's already a favor that I can barely wear this outfit. Do you really want me to be your maid?"
Mei Terumi's reaction was perfectly normal. Not to mention Mei Terumi was once the Mizukage, even a normal person would find it hard to accept becoming a maid all at once.
However, Naoki Senju has plenty of ways to train Mei Terumi...
"If Lord Mizukage is willing to serve as my maid for one day, I will release ten Kirigakure Ninja back to Kirigakure. If they behave well, I can release more. How about it?"
"I am the Mizukage of Kirigakure! Do you think this level of threat will make me agree to your perverted request?"
"Twenty."
"I'll think about it."
Thirty!
Looking at the silent Mei Terumi, Naoki Senju smiled with satisfaction. As for whether there would be enough Kirigakure Ninja... who said that once they were released, they couldn't be captured again? If they couldn't escape capture, that was because they lacked the ability.
"Hmm, then, Miss Maid, could you give me a shoulder massage?"
Naoki Senju sat arrogantly in the only chair, lazily relaxing his shoulders, his eyes occasionally glancing at Mei Terumi, the meaning of which was self-evident.
