The atmosphere becomes calmer after Mio shows her hidden weapon attached to her smooth thigh.

Her calm and professional attitude as my Exclusive Maid was shown by her awareness attitude of paying too much attention to me in front of all the girls who attended the afternoon tea party in my private tent.

My ears trembled when I heard the whispers between Hana and Princess Anastasia talking about Mio.

"Leaving aside her twin stepsister who is always attached to her, that Maid is much more terrifying than them," whispered Hana who seemed to be warning Princess Anastasia about Mio.

"I have heard that her ability is the same as my Onee-san’s ability who can use sword techniques without magic. The information I received is that she is a descendant of one of the top female adventurers who has retired from being an adventurer and switched to being one of the staff at the Adventurer’s Guild Building," continued Hana’s whisper with detailed information to Princess Anastasia.

"I didn’t expect you to share this information with me. Does that mean she is an opponent who cannot be defeated so easily?" replied Princess Anastasia with her small whisper towards Hana.

"You may be stupid… but I didn’t know you were this stupid, Princess Anastasia," Hana said those words while slowly drinking her cup of warm tea.

"What do you mean by talking to me about something like that?" replied Princess Anastasia who looked emotional with veins hardening on her forehead.

I, who was still enjoying this relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, just watched them.

The small dispute that had happened earlier now looked like a verbal competition that required the skill to speak down without using harsh words.

The speaking skills shown by Princess Anastasia, Alyssa, and Hana had become part of my learning to string together polite words but had the core of an unexpected deadly attack by hurting the mentality of my conversation partner.

When it came to speaking, I was indeed lousy and unreliable.

Sometimes I just kept quiet like this and paid attention to the direction of the conversation using my sharp hearing that had been strengthened by the blessing of the Yurification System.

When I made a Ritual Linked contract with Mio, we had reached the synchronization stage where me and Mio’s abilities were equal. Even the conversation between Hana and Princess Anastasia sounded so clear to Mio’s ears.

Based on the explanation given by my Goddess, the synchronization technique can be done when I perform the Linked Ritual for the second time with the target’s love limit reaching 200%. By synchronizing, the target is able to use the potential limit of her power just like what I learned.

It’s the same as me having to open the target’s technique separately using Yurification Points and deepen our relationship until the target’s love reaches 200%.

For now, there are only Mio, Alice, and Alyssa who can do the synchronization technique with me. I don’t know what to do with Princess Anastasia’s Yurification System that suddenly appeared before my eyes.

At a glance, I can understand that Princess Anastasia’s abilities are more suitable for information mining, information suppression, and menace offers that are difficult for the target spokesperson to refuse.

If Mio gave me a sword art technique, then it’s different from Alice and Alyssa who gave me a choice of magic techniques in the Yurification System.

However, for Princess Anastasia, this versatile speaking ability is worth learning more about.

The ability to use sword arts and magic arts has become inherent in me. Seeing the unique ability possessed by Princess Anastasia has piqued my interest in learning it.

My body’s senses suddenly screamed after feeling the thin air of someone approaching my tent.

The sign of her presence was increasingly felt when a thin wind blew into my private tent.

Unlike the strong wind that flew into my private tent, it was more like someone using their silent skills to sneak up on me.

"Ahhh... this again?" Mio muttered as she slowly took out her small knife from behind her cleavage.

Mio’s muttering caught the attention of all the girls who were enjoying the afternoon tea party inside my private tent. Guessing the cross point of an invisible movement, my danger detection ability had given me an early warning of someone moving slowly toward me.

I stretched my hand to the side and pushed my fingers as if wanting to touch something.

Booinggg...

When I squeeze the air that looks empty, I can feel a springy object that looks like soft flesh.

Boiiinggg...

Confirming my hand’s hunch that I was right in squeezing something invisible, I again felt a lump of soft flesh that felt like a uniform cloth.

"Noel, can you remove your silent technique?" I said to order someone who smeared herself with the invisibility magic chant that was her main weapon.

"As expected of my Master, Lily-sama always knows my presence easily. I am very happy when my large breasts get gentle attention from you, my respected Master."

Swwiippp...

Slowly, a body was created from thin sparks of light.

My hand which was originally touching intangible air now looked like it was holding a large breast from an adult woman wearing a Maid uniform.

The owner of the large breasts was Noel. She was no known last name or family tree, but she worked for the Marquess Rommel family with full loyalty.

I had repeatedly asked Noel to do the Linked Ritual with me. But she was a girl who was difficult to ask and always disappeared at important times. Before I knew her role as one of the Black Maids owned by the Marquess Rommel family was to carry out secret operations such as cleaning and maintenance of something.

In the end, I do Linked Ritual with her in spicy condition. Like a sacred duel from her code ethics as a Maid working in the dark.

"What are you doing, Noel?" Mio threw a small knife at Noel and she managed to avoid it well.

Sttuudd ...

The thrown knife penetrated my private tent and a gust of wind from the winter entered my private tent.

"Ara ~ what are you doing, Mio? You made a hole in the private tent that is Lily-sama’s temporary residence," replied Noel with a smile that wanted to laugh at Mio.

I immediately lowered my hand that had been touching her breast and looked at her.

"Is there something I should know, Noel?" I asked to calm the dispute between Noel and Mio.

They both worked in different Maid Divisions but always considered each other as rivals to serve me.

"Yes, my Master. Several Maids who were cleaning the backyard of the main mansion saw a giant nine-tails fox walking towards this place and a large dragon flying around Lily-sama’s tent," Noel said to report the situation to me.

"Can’t you do it without covering your presence and sneaking around like that?" Mio replied with a flat look that looked down on Noel.

"Ara~ are you upset because you can’t feel my presence, Mio? Even Lily-sama can feel my presence right on the spot. Should we switch places for a while as her personal Exclusive Maid and the Black Maid Division Leader?" With a friendly and elegant smile, Noel seemed to not care about Mio’s look that was looking down on her.

Swwiippp…

Mio’s hand suddenly swung and revealed three knives that were tucked into her fingers.

"I almost attacked you before Lily-sama stopped me with her hand movement that touched your breast. If not for that, I would have thrown these knives towards your body," Mio replied with a flat, expressionless tone.

"Aahh… so scary… I want to see Mio’s persistence in wanting to throw her knives at me. I bet... the knives are just thrown into empty spaces without hitting me," replied Noel who looked cheerful in response to Mio’s menace knife attack threat.

For some reason, my private tent always becomes a place for small disputes like this.

I immediately got up from my seat and hurriedly put on my thick shoes.

"Onee-san, where do you want to go?" asked Hana who approached me while putting on her thick shoes too.

"I want to welcome another Saintess after several years of not seeing each other," I answered while stepping out of my private tent.

"Can I come along?" asked Hana further her eyes looking at me.

"Of course, you’re a Saintess too, right? It would be better if as fellow Saintesses we get along with each other," I replied while extending my hand towards Hana.

"Thank you, Onee-san!" Hana accepted my outstretched hand and her face was filled with a happy smile.

Hana and I stepped out of my private tent. When I was outside my private tent, I could hear the noisy voices of several girls who also came out in a hurry.

In front of my private tent, Mom was waiting for me with a magic staff in her hand. She looked up at the sky and a large dragon with red scales was seen flying around the main mansion of Marquess Rommel.

Hana who was beside me looked nervous, her heavenly holy dragon spirit also fell silent after seeing the presence of the giant red dragon.

"What do you think about Saintess Sia, Hana?" I introduced Hana to one of the Saintesses who had made a special Ritual Linked contract with me.

Hana was silent and couldn’t move after the red dragon’s gaze was directed at her.

With a quick dive, Sia shot towards me while coating her giant dragon body with holy magic energy and transformed into a dragon girl wearing a Shrine Maiden uniform.

Baaammm!!

The bang from the dragon’s transformation into the dragon girl’s body created a shockwave of sound along with an explosion that caused snow to scatter.

The pile of snow suddenly shot towards me.

"My sweet little sister! Your big sister has arrived!" shouted Sia who was running quickly towards me but suddenly her body fell after a giant nine-tails fox nudged her running leg.

The giant fox with white fur and nine thick tails stared at me.

Ciel’s surprising presence almost made Princess Anastasia faint.
