“Serveyia, didn’t you say there would be a lot of people in the E-sports Club? Why do I see only Dora here?”
“Because this is Dora’s office, so there aren’t many people.”
“Office?”
Liuli looked at this office, which was even bigger than some club activity rooms from her high school days, and couldn’t help but admire Saint Laia’s wealth once again in her heart.
“Then where is the club activity room?”
“It’s in the rooms we passed by. To be precise, this entire floor is the activity area for the E-sports Club.”
Very good, now this President’s Office finally matches its size.
But, such a large club activity area—there’s no way Saint Laia would provide it all for free, right?
After voicing her doubt, she received a somewhat helpless expression from Serveyia.
“Little Fox, you really are a curious baby. How did I not realize before that you have to ask about everything?”
“No, is that not allowed?”
“It’s not that it’s not allowed. I do know the answer to this question. But it’s not like I know the answer to every question. I was just thinking, if one day there’s a question from Little Fox that I can’t answer, what should I do?”
No, no, why did the topic suddenly get so sentimental?
I’m not good at handling these things.
Just as Liuli was wondering how to lighten the mood, Serveyia continued.
“But, that’s not a problem I need to think about right now. After all, with Little Fox’s current knowledge, it’s practically impossible for you to ask a question I can’t answer.”
Damn it! Give me back my feelings!
I shouldn’t have believed this wicked maid could say something so sentimental.
She even made me worry for nothing.
I should have just ignored her.
“Serveyia, if you keep this up, you’ll lose my trust.”
Although she felt a bit exasperated, there wasn’t really anything she could do.
She could only express her dissatisfaction with this kind of harmless complaint.
“Don’t worry, Little Fox. If you really do one day manage to ask a question I can’t answer, I will admit my shortsightedness and prejudice. But before that, shouldn’t you at least show me you have the ability to ask such a question?”
She felt like she’d been subtly looked down on, but Liuli refused to believe Serveyia was all-knowing.
Didn’t she say she hardly played games?
Then she just had to ask some questions related to games—there had to be something she knew that Serveyia didn’t.
With that thought, Liuli began asking with a hint of grievance.
From obscure slang, to fan-made jokes, to works long since banished from the realm of anime, Liuli asked them all.
But without exception, Serveyia answered them perfectly.
“No, no! Didn’t you say you don’t play games much? Are you lying to me again?”
“It’s not lying. It’s a required subject to study before becoming Little Fox’s Close Maid. As a maid, it’s natural to have common topics with your master. To be honest, I’m not very interested in the things Little Fox likes, but for me, it’s a challenge I had to overcome before becoming the Close Maid of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.”
A challenge, huh?
To be honest, Liuli sometimes thought the knowledge she possessed was a bit too scattered and complicated.
If Serveyia really had to learn all of it, how much effort would that take?
She realized she had never truly understood Serveyia, never thought about how much pressure there must be to become the maid of a stranger, especially a Princess who had been transformed from a man.
“So that’s why I said, with your current knowledge and experience, it’s still difficult to ask a question I don’t know. Now, can you believe what I said?”
“I suppose I can believe it. Even though you’ve worked hard, I still feel a little annoyed…”
She had originally thought she could find something Serveyia didn’t know and satisfy a bit of her own competitive spirit.
But looking at it now, she had suffered another crushing defeat.
“This is the reward of my hard work, Little Fox. If you’re really that upset, then go study and learn some new knowledge. Who knows, maybe you’ll find something I don’t know.”
“Ah, finally, it’s over! Princess, Serveyia, what are you two whispering about?”
Dora’s voice came from behind.
It seemed she had finally escaped the endless train.
“Nothing much. Dora, how was it? Did you win?”
“Of course I won! Hmph, as expected of me. Even the hook got cut down under my blade! I’m amazing!”
Seeing the Red Dragon Loli standing with her hands on her hips, looking so proud, suddenly felt a bit funny.
If it had really been that easy, it probably wouldn’t have dragged on for so long.
But after enduring such a Century Slime Battle, it was understandable to feel proud.
It’s just a pity that five unlucky souls might have trouble sleeping tonight.
