The morning light is dim.

The sky changes from elegant violet to warm orange-red, like a gradient painting. The last ray of afterglow of the night is quietly fading away. Soon, when the light fills the earth, everything seems to wake up. The leaves are shining with emerald green under the sunlight.

“No… No no no……!!!”

“Xiaoyue, Qingqing… please don’t, if you continue like this you will completely collapse… Is there any way out for us?!!”

In Xiluo Garden.

In the boudoir on the second floor, Shiina Mahiru was struggling painfully on the bed, with cold sweat on her fair forehead, her eyes closed, and words full of fear coming out of her mouth. She was trapped in the nightmare of the past, constantly suffering from pain…

She was sinking painfully in the nightmare full of coldness and fear. At this moment, the light penetrated the glass of the window.

It sprinkled into the boudoir on the second floor, sprinkled on the beautiful face with frowning eyebrows, and the heat slightly gathered on the eyelids and face also made Shiina Mahiru suddenly wake up from the dream. She sat on the bed and gasped, and her pajamas were all soaked with cold sweat.

Looking around with residual palpitations.

After confirming that it was a familiar room, Shiina Mahiru dared to breathe a sigh of relief

“……It’s been a long time since I had such a nightmare, a very long time.”

Shiina Mahiru muttered to herself, holding her forehead. It’s been so long that the purgatory-like experience has almost faded in her heart, so long that she often thinks it was just a dream of Conan, so long that the impressions of those friends who betrayed the food have disappeared in her mind…

But until yesterday.

She saw the figure of that devil again in the main hall courtyard.

The memory that had been forgotten.

It was boiling again, turning into waves of fear that swept her whole body.

The only thing that was secretly fortunate and disrespectful was that her original master seemed to be really dead, and there would be no possibility of seeing him again in the future.

“……It’s so late!”

When Shiina Mahiru saw the alarm clock hanging on the wall in the room, she got up quickly and took off her sweat-soaked pajamas. Suddenly, she was radiant with beauty and fair complexion.

Because the master of the sect announced that he would be in seclusion again

, she didn’t need to take on the duties of a personal maid, so she opened the wardrobe embedded in the wall, glanced at the maid outfit with a red and blue base, and put on a pair of blue women’s jeans and a very casual white shirt. She tied her long blonde hair into a ponytail, which made her look particularly clean and simple. She even patted her cheeks with cold water.

A gentle smile appeared on her face again, as if the nightmare just now had never existed.

“Mashiro should be up by now!”

Ever since she brought her cousin Mashiro Childhood to live in Xiluo Garden, Shiina Mahiru has been particularly concerned about her care. Except for the period when she was a personal maid, the rest of the time she was either taking care of her carefully in Xiluo Garden, or taking Mashiro for walks in the manor. She hoped that this would help Mashiro get rid of the shadow that always covered her heart.

When Shiina Mahiru came downstairs to the living room. Mashiro Childhood was sitting on the sofa, her slender waist slightly leaning forward, concentrating on painting on the drawing board. Her peaceful and tranquil temperament was reflected in the morning light. With her blonde hair brighter than Shiina Mahiru’s, she looked like an angel girl who had fallen into the world.

Pure and dreamy.

Seeing this, Shiina Mahiru wanted to turn around and go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Although there have always been several canteens in the manor, responsible for the three meals a day of the maids, bodyguards, and bed maids, the variety, taste, and nutrition are quite rich, more like a luxurious buffet restaurant.

But Shiina Mahiru lived alone in the human world and was used to cooking by herself.

So in daily life, she did not go to the canteen very often.

“This is……”

Shiina Mahiru, who had just walked into the kitchen, was startled because she saw several dishes of lotus root, steamed buns and lean meat soup neatly placed on the chopping board. They were all her favorite breakfasts in the cafeteria, and they were still steaming.

It was obvious that they had just been brought in from the cafeteria not long ago.

Shiina Mahiru brought breakfast to the dining table in the living room and asked,”Mashiro, you went to the cafeteria!”

“Hmm!”

After completing the last stroke of the painting, Mashiro Chiname looked up and said,”I went there with Sister Nagisa. I originally wanted to eat some round cakes and pineapple bread, but it seemed that the new big eater neighbor had packed them up and taken them away in advance.”

Big eater?!

New neighbor?!”

Shiina Mahiru’s mind first flashed to Yukinoshita Yukino and others who had previously become the personal maids of the wife of the clan leader, but she immediately shook her head. Since the people who could be called new neighbors by Mashiro should be the Onmyoji girl and the writer ghoul.

As for the big eater!

It should be the SSS-level ghoul [One-eyed Owl].

After all – she heard from the head maid Debra that the food made in the cafeteria can be a source of nutrition for ghouls, and they don’t have to eat humans like in the human world to survive.

For ghouls.

These delicious foods are treasures they have never tasted, and it is completely understandable that they are a little greedy like gluttons. What’s more, it seems that as long as they can become S-level or above ghouls, their appetites are huge.

Shiina Mahiru shook her head suddenly.

She eliminated the cruel and bloody picture in her mind. It was obviously about to have breakfast, and it would be bad if she lost her appetite. She quickly shifted her mind to another idea.

“The great writer Izumi Takatsuki!”

“Ghouls and writers, it’s really a bold combination that can completely confuse CCG. No wonder her true identity has never been discovered. Most people probably wouldn’t have thought that a ghoul would appear as a public figure.”

Shiina Mahiru muttered to herself.

You know, when I was in the human world, I read many of her masterpieces, and even wanted to participate in her book club, but in the end I was stopped because of some unpleasant things. I have always felt deeply regretful.

But I didn’t expect that the fans and the author would meet in the underworld in the end. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Sometimes.

I have to sigh at the impermanence of the world and the wonder of fate.

“It is not good to eat too much dessert for breakfast. It is better to drink some stomach-warming soup as much as possible.”

Shiina Mahiru invited Mashiro to the dining table to eat, and then divided the lean meat soup into two portions, gently pushed the larger portion in front of her, and said apologetically:”Did sister scare Mashiro last night?” The two boudoirs are separated by only one wall.

In order to prevent Mashiro, who lacks common sense, from having any accidents, Shiina Mahiru also deliberately turned off the sound insulation of the two rooms, so louder sounds may be heard by the neighbors.

Shiina Mashiro blinked her slightly mature phoenix eyes and said:”Well… Sister Mashiro had a nightmare.”

“Yes, it’s been a long time since I dreamed of such a scene.”

Shiina Mahiru tasted the lean meat soup and felt it was slightly hot, so she put it on the table first. Then she looked at her childish name Mashiro seriously and said,”Sister, I brought Mashiro to Xiluoyuan because I wanted you to change to a comfortable environment. After all, Anshu Courtyard is still a bit too messy, but sister actually still wants Mashiro to……”

“”A maid for the night”

Shiina Mashiro suddenly said. Shiina Mahiru nodded.

Her cousin just lacked common sense in life. Innocence does not mean being naive and knowing nothing. When she was in the human world, Mashiro’s view on certain things was better than hers.

“When I brought you here from the Anshu compound, I’m sure that uncle also understood it in his heart.” Although at that time

, Shiina Mahiru didn’t say some things clearly, and to a certain extent denied that Mashiro would become a maid, how could Shiina Seyou not understand his niece’s thoughts.

It’s just that there are some words that a father can’t say clearly.

“Do you think your sister has become particularly despicable and has become a villain who betrayed her sister?”Shiina Mahiru said self-deprecatingly

“Mahiru experienced more painful things than Mashiro, and became as insecure as Mashiro. Moreover, Mashiro and her father both understood that if they wanted to survive in the underworld, they could only rely on the devil, and the chieftain was their greatest support.”[]

“Sister Mahiru is also helping Mashiro and Dad.”

It’s rare for Mashiro to say so much.

And between the lines, she also clearly expresses her own will. The childish Mashiro, who lacks common sense, really sees it more clearly than anyone else and understands her current situation better.

“My sister has seen the real underworld, the real pure-blooded demon nobles, the real purgatory… She has more painful memories than Mashiro and her uncle, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Nagisa…”

Shiina Mahiru smiled bitterly and said,”I thought I had forgotten it, but in fact it has always been like a rock pressing on my heart and I can’t let it go.”

The experience in the Shaxx family.

Although she did not suffer any physical harm, the almost inhumane darkness she experienced made her spirit almost collapse. If she had not been sent to the Eliog territory, she would not know what she would become in the end.

Would she become a consumable material to be devoured by others?

Or would she be made into a toy sex doll… until she completely collapsed.

It is precisely because she has seen the cruelty and darkness of the pure-blooded demon nobles such as the Shaxx family that she can experience the rare peace in the Eliog family today.

At least the current master does not have any cruel and bloody habits.

This alone is enough.

Among the pure-blooded demon nobles, there are many similar to the Shaxx family, and the Eliog family at least treats slaves as living things. This is what she asked from the head maid Debra before. Shiina Mahiru held Mashiro’s hand tightly and said seriously:”Sister doesn’t want to be trapped in that kind of purgatory, and doesn’t want Mashiro to fall into it.

“……”Sister Mahiru.”

Shiina Mashiro was puzzled and said,”Whether we can become a bed-maid or not, it seems that it is not up to us to decide.”

This is the crux of the problem.

When they were in the Anshu courtyard before,

Shiina Mahiru did not lie. Not to mention her, even the head maid Debra could not decide the candidate for the bed-maid, otherwise

Debra would have personally selected a suitable bed-maid for her own patriarch long before the mother and daughter of the Furukawa family moved into Xiluo Garden.

But there is a rule in Pus Manor.

As long as the maid is allowed to live in Xiluo Garden, even if her position is not a bed-maid, she will be regarded as a bed-maid candidate. It is said that this rule was set by the previous patriarch of the Eliorg family..

Shiina Mahiru had brought Mashiro to Xiluo Garden before, and specifically asked the clan leader to take advantage of this loophole.

The clan leader might know, or might not care at all… But for her and Mashiro, it was the most important step.

Now in Xiluo Garden, there are no longer the four people who were once few, but there are six more people, including Mashiro Childana, Yukinoshita Yukino, Hikigaya Komachi, Kei Shirogane, Isayama Yomizu, and Takatsuki Izumi.

Although except for Mashiro Childana, they all live in Xiluo Garden as personal maids, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are actually equivalent to maids who sleep with the emperor..
