The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 80: Thank You
(A variety of servants is an act of sincerity?! He doesn't seem to understand what it means.)
Eve folded her arms and stared directly at Kaizo with her reddish-brown pupils.
"I-It's about the mission the other day. As the representative of the Hybrid Knights, I had thought that I should thank you for helping back then. I-It's just as a representative of the Hybrid Knight!"
"No, I've said that I don't need things like thank you. It's natural to help my colleagues." Kaizo says that and Eve remains stubborn.
"Then I won't be able to calm down. W-What do I have to do to be able to say thank you, I've been troubled all week."
"Why is the maid uniform?"
“Um, after consulting with my teammates Rin and Misha, they told me that it was best that I wear these clothes to show you my sincerity."
Eve continued, "After all, you are a maniac, who would be pleased with such an appearance. Pa-at first, I also had a problem with it, but devoting my entire body and soul to thanking the person I owe is the rule of my Veilmist family household."
"Why the two of them, teach you worthless things," Kaizo's face twitched.
(In short, Eve has been deceived by both of them.)
"Eve, don't misunderstand me. I'm not a maniac interested in maid uniforms." Kaizo tries to solve a strange misunderstanding, but it brings new problems.
"W-what? That means...."
Looks like Eve interpreted that in a different sense. "To do it, you mean it?"
"Huh?"
"You mean I'm wearing sexier clothes, right?!"
"What are you saying!"
"Kuu, you are an immoral king!"
"The right of use for the call of an immoral king is already obtained by the inhabitants of the city!"
"I will absolutely not give in to such a brazen request!"
Eve drew her sword from her waist and quickly thrust it into the back of Kaizo's neck. It seemed that he did not lose his skills as a knight even though he was a servant. That's obvious.
"I-I see, it suits you very well, the maid uniform is the best, hurray the maid uniform!"
"Hmm, that's enough."
As Eve thrust the tip of her sword behind Kaizo's neck, "Come, Kaizo, you can tell me to do whatever you want!" He said it without hesitation.
"You're a pretty proud waitress, then, Eve, what can you do?"
"My expertise is thrusting spears."
"What kind of servant are you?"
"I can also use a sword, but my skills use spears." Eve proudly puffed out her chest.
"Do you have nothing but dangerous skills?"
"Cooking in my own way is a specialty."
"Ah, so. Well, can I make a request?"
"of course. What do you want?"
"Let's see, I'm also going to dinner later, so I want something light and edible."
"I understand. To be honest, I'm thinking about what to do if you say body sushi, but...."
"Why did you think about it?!" Kaizo groaned with a flat look. Suddenly, he tried to ask a thought that came to his mind.
"By the way, does this mean you'll do it if I ask for it?"
"You're a brash man!"
At that moment, the hidden sword, which Eve unleashed, cut through Kaizo's crown.
A few moments later.
"W-how does it feel, sir?"
Looks like it ended with Eve preparing food for Kaizo.
As expected of a person who had been trained for the sake of the man she would marry in the future, from cooking to arranging meals, her skills were excellent. She was the type of person whose example the hell little princess wanted to follow.
"I beg. Don't call me that." Kaizo groaned with a flat look.
"Um, even so, they both said that this is the official way to call you."
"No, because you've been fooled, you know?" Kaizo grumbled as he chewed a mouth-sized piece of cheese.
It has a crispy dough that uses first-class wheat flour. The highest grade cheese, placed among the meats, is delicious as it melts over its tongue.
"Lezat. As always, it tastes good."
"Mm, is that normal?" Eve pouted her lips, looking frustrated.
"I commend you. It's hard to make normal things delicious."
"Eve will be a good bride."
"What are you saying!" He thrust out a fork pierced with a piece of cheese in front of Kaizo.
"What are you doing all of a sudden!"
"Hmm, that's because you said something weird!" Eve stared intently at Kaizo. Then he muttered, "Mom-open your mouth."
"Huh?" Kaizo asked back. The god speed boost was released once again.
"Ouch!?"
"Don't avoid it! I'm trying to feed you!"
"Try to feed me, what's up with that!?"
"I hear it's a maid's job. Come on, quick, say 'Ahh'!" Eve thrust a god speed fork in front of her.
He said that thrusting was his skill, as expected, even for Kaizo, it took all his strength to dodge.
(Eh, what kind of training is this?!)
"That's dangerous, you almost poke my eyes!"
"Hmm, it's because you ran away. Don't run away!"
Finally, the fork was pushed into his mouth.
"W-how?"
"Lezat." Kaizo says his honest thoughts.
"Well, one more bribe." This time he gently moved the fork to his mouth.
"Why this time?"
"Ahh, good." After nodding once more, Eve giggled lightly, looking delighted.
(Hm. This is, as expected, a little embarrassing.)
****
By the time he finished eating Eve's cooking, it was already completely dark outside. It was time for her to make dinner for Victoria and the others, who were waiting in the dormitory.
When she told Eve about the matter, she made a slightly disappointed face. After helping Eve tidy up the tableware, she and Eve, who changed into her uniform, went outside the dormitory.
As Eve took off her servant uniform, she suddenly looked embarrassed by her recent actions, so as she walked down the moonlit path, she lowered her head the entire time.
(Of course, just like him, I'm embarrassed too.)
"I'm sorry for taking so long. Your cooking is good."
"Yes, I'm glad to be able to express my gratitude to you properly. Because today might be my last chance to invite you to my room."
"What do you mean?"
"This is about the roommate I just talked about. He has completed his mission and is back soon."
"Is your roommate scary?" After saying that, Eve's expression darkened slightly.
"Lucia Eva Veilmist's. She's my stepbrother, two years older. He's also a former captain of the Hybrid Knights."
"Lucia?!" Kaizo. That name, if she's not mistaken, is what Victoria was talking about.
"The strongest elementalist in the academy, is actually your older brother, Eve!?"
"Yes, we have no blood relation. He was once also expected to become the future Commander (Number) of the Twelve Knights, but after he was defeated by Rei Assar in the first match at the Sword Style Festival three years ago, he was defeated by Rei Assar, the story has also disappeared."
"What's wrong? Do you know about my brother?"
"N-no, it's okay." Kaizo shook his head in confusion.
(So, no wonder I remember hearing that name before.)
Kaizo finally remembered. He was the opponent of the first match of the Sword Style Festival three years ago. She is a girl with a pretty face of ice and beautiful blonde hair.
"My brother is like the one who embodies the image of the knight I'm trying to idealize." Eve exhaled a white breath as she muttered.
"However, now that person," Eve muttered once more as in the monologue.
Eve stopped her steps there. They had arrived in front of the gate of the Crow Class dormitory. Kaizo looked up, and the window of Victoria's room had a light.
"Eve, thank you for today. Then I'll see you tomorrow." Kaizo waved his hand and walked towards the dormitory. He walked for a while on the path leading to the dorm building.
"A-Ah, wait, Kaizo!" Eve calls Kaizo to stop from behind. It was not his usual cold voice. It was a voice like an urgent scream.
"Eve?" Kaizo turned around.
