Combat Maid Harem

"But still—"

"Shhh… Let me take care of you, Master. Trust in me. Trust in me that is your maid," Aezel said with her finger on Lawrend's lips.

"...Alright." Lawrend nodded his head reluctantly.

"Fufufufu. I won't get hurt that easily, Master," Aezel said with a laugh.

She was a Noble Demon.. She led a small army of demons into here. That's why she has enough experience to survive even the hardest ordeal she can imagine. Of course, as long as it is within her power.

"Okay. I and you will go then," Lawrend replied.

He grabbed her hand and held it.

"Can we go back first?" Lawrend asked the Venerated White Roc.

"I will lead you to the Ancient Temple tomorrow morning," she replied.

"Thank you. We'll be back," Lawrend replied with a smile on his face.

And so, Lawrend, Aezel, and Aleshia returned to the city. The night was already approaching. One could already see the moon hanging up in the sky.

They returned to Humility's mansion in a carriage.

"Welcome back, Master!" Elena greeted Lawrend as he entered the door.

Elena was already wearing her maid uniform.

"Master, where have you been?" Elena asked.

"Let's talk inside. Gather everyone," Lawrend replied.

"Okay..?" Elena nodded her head in confusion.

She entered the mansion and started calling everyone.

Meanwhile, Lawrend, Aezel, and Aleshia entered the dining room. Ella was sitting on one of the chairs. She was swinging her legs in boredom.

"Oh! Welcome back, Young Master," she greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Ella. You're back early?" Lawrend asked her in surprise.

From what he can remember, they said that Ella will only come back late at night. It just turned night recently.

"Mm. I already became a High Mage, Young Master!" Ella said with joy brimming on her face. She raised her arms up into the air.

"Wow! Congratulations, Ella," Lawrend replied.

He was honestly surprised. She was so young yet she's already a High Mage. If anyone else heard about this, they would definitely be surprised out of their wits.

"Thank you, Young Master! Can I get a head pat? Hehehehe." Ella asked with a soft giggle.

Lawrend walked towards her and patted her head. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his hand patting her head. She felt a sense of accomplishment when he did so.

"Big Sister!" Ella called out to Aleshia who was standing behind Lawrend with a smile.

Seeing that, Lawrend moved out of the way.

Aleshia walked towards Ella and embraced her. She was so so proud that Ella was able to finally become a High Mage. Ella was worried about it before. Now that they were both High Mages, she would finally relax.

"Big Sister, did I do well?" Ella asked excitedly.

"You did well, Ella. You're so strong now," Aleshia replied. She kneeled in front of Ella and embraced her tightly on the chair.

"Big Sister…" Ella returned Aleshia's embrace.

The two sisters stayed in that position for a while. They felt the warmth of each other. They have come this far together without any parents to support them.

Before they could realize it, everyone was already here.

Humility carried the dishes onto the dining table.

"Master, welcome back," she said as she placed the plates on the table.

"I'm back, Humility. How was it? Have you already confirmed if you got pregnant?" Lawrend asked.

"My menstruation is in a week, Master. I will see then," Humility replied.

"I will wait then. Take care of what you eat while you aren't sure, okay?" Lawrend said to her gently.

"Of course, Master. I have already been taught what diet is suitable if you are pregnant. You don't have to worry," Humility replied.

"That's better. I'm glad," Lawrend replied.

And so, all of them sat on the seats and started eating.

"Master, what are we gonna talk about tonight?" Elena asked curiously.

Lawrend picked up a steak on his plate and ate it.

"...Let's eat first. It will be better to talk about it after we eat," Lawrend replied after he finished the food in his mouth.

After half an hour, all of them finished their food.

"I gathered everyone here to announce that I have to go somewhere far again. I won't be able to spend time with all of you," Lawrend said.

"What?" Elena and Humility stared at each other in shock.

"What Master said is true. It will be a big opportunity for Master," Aezel said to back up Lawrend.

"Mm. Master and Sister Aezel regressed in their powers. Master is now a True Mage again while Sister Aezel is now something equivalent of a High Mage," Aleshia added.

"No way! What happened, Master!? Did s-someone hurt you while you were outside? Who is it!? I will order him to be killed!" Humility shouted in alarm and panic.

"Relax, Humility. It's nothing that serious. I and Aezel mixed our purple and red lightnings together. That created a new type of lightning. It's called divine lightning. I don't know why it happened, but the creation of that divine lightning made my mana return to the amount I had when I was a True Mage," Lawrend explained.

"Divine lightning?" Elena asked in interest.

As she is a Lightning Slime, hearing about a new type of lightning caught her interest.

"It's golden in color and has a unique effect. We tested it in the Undrasil Monster Forest earlier. It will explode if it hits a target. Living or not," Lawrend replied.

"I want to taste that lightning, Master!" Elena shouted excitedly.

Just hearing about it made her salivate. It would surely taste good.

"Later, Elena. I will give you lots," Lawrend replied.

"Okay~"

"Then, Master, why do you have to go somewhere far again?" Humility asked.

"It's required that I'm an Arch Mage, right? Before the people of the kingdom accepts me."

"That's true, but we can just wait for another time, Master," Humility replied in confusion. She doesn't think that it was a problem.
