"A maid?"
Rias tilted her head and asked, "Why do you want to be a maid?"
"Because of love, of course~"
Tohru said with an excited look on her face.
"Well, though I say that, it was actually the influence of a human."
Tohru calmed down, thought about it carefully, and said, "Before fighting with that god, I met a human thief. It might be due to her influence that I wanted to become a maid."
"Maybe, I'm just looking forward to a different lifestyle than before."
Listening to Tohru's words, Rias smiled and said, "That's quite good."
What was the lifestyle of a dragon?
Sleeping all alone, and then fighting against existences that were hostile, hated them, or wanted to become 'Dragon Slayers'.
So, did Tohru herself do anything wrong?
It could only be said that the Dragon Race in the Chaos Faction of Tohru's world were too solitary; even when labeled as 'evil', they had no way to resist.
Demons and dragons are synonymous; this is an expression of weak life forms fearing the other party, so they disparage them as dragons.
In fact, no matter which world it is, as long as it is a dragon—whether it is a carbon-based life form or not—they are all powerful creatures.
"It's alright with me~"
Rias said with a light chuckle.
"Ooh, that's great!"
Tohru rushed over, pulled Rias directly into her embrace, and rubbed against her cheek.
"Maid, maid, Little Rias, hehe~"
Tohru had a doting look on her face, her countenance full of longing for the future.
Rias didn't resist either, instead rubbing Tohru's head.
"Ah, that's right."
Tohru seemed to think of something. With a thought, the clothes she wore that resembled Western attire transformed into a maid outfit.
This was the maid Tohru had seen in the Lords Mansion, and it was also that beautiful young lady who had helped arrange her room.
The reason Tohru thought of being a maid was not only the influence of that thief girl from before, nor just because she had been lonely for too long and wanted a change in lifestyle, but also the influence of that Crimson Butterfly.
In Tohru's perception, that beautiful, dignified, and valiant maid in the maid outfit was an existence almost equal to her, or perhaps even stronger.
Her aura was close to a dragon's, but compared to her, her life form seemed even more perfect.
Faintly sensing this had more or less influenced Tohru.
It was precisely because of this that the maid outfit Tohru transformed into perfectly matched Rias's tastes~
After all, the Crimson Butterfly was originally her create, so the daily attire naturally aligned with Rias's ideas.
Of course, there was another set of clothes for the bed.
"How is it, Little Rias?"
Tohru spun in a circle and looked at Rias expectantly.
"Very cute,"
Rias said.
A voluptuous figure, blonde hair and red eyes; the horns on her head and the tail behind her were also cute points.
The tail was plump and felt very comfortable to the touch.
"Mmm, that tickles~"
Tohru giggled, her tail swaying from time to time like a cat's.
After playing for a while, Tohru suddenly remembered something and stood up, saying, "Little Rias, wait for me a moment."
Soon, Tohru returned.
In her hand, she held a bowl of tofu and mushroom soup that looked very appetizing.
Only the bits of green mixed into the red meat looked a bit alarming.
"Please, I made this myself~"
Tohru said with a grin, "I asked Miss Crimson Moon Sakura (Crimson Butterfly) for advice and spent the whole morning mastering the trick~"
Rias blinked and picked up a spoon to take a sip of the soup.
Although it was quite a bit worse than Crimson Moon Sakura's cooking, it was still much better than an ordinary chef's.
The taste was decent.
More importantly, it contained her feelings.
Since it was a beginner's sincere effort, it was indeed hard to say anything other than words of encouragement.
Thinking this, Rias quickly finished the breakfast Tohru had made.
Watching Rias eat the whole bowl of food, especially the chunks of meat within, gave Tohru a sense of happiness from the bottom of her heart.
"Don't use your tail next time. Ethically, it's not very comfortable, and the poison wasn't even cleaned off properly."
Rias complained lightly and elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth.
Although the poison wasn't cleaned off, it was only a faint toxin, just enough to cause a tingling sensation.
Compared to the nutrients in dragon meat, this bit of poison was nothing.
If it were a corporate slave like Kobayashi, who had to suppress their inner unease to eat it, they probably wouldn't have to endure the backaches after overtime anymore~
"Eh, but I wanted Little Rias to taste my best parts~"
Tohru dithered for a moment, then showed a beautiful smile and said, "Besides, this way we've become one~"
"Let's forget about 'becoming one' in the physical sense."
Rias stretched and said, "The taste is good, but there's room for improvement."
Hearing Rias's evaluation, Tohru's tail swayed rapidly.
It was clear that her mood was incredibly wonderful right now.
This sense of happiness even gave her a feeling of unreality.
Dragons are very pure; once they set their sights on someone, they will unhesitatingly place their entire heart and soul there.
Just as Tohru's father, the Emperor of Demise, worried, for humans, a dragon's love is simply too heavy.
Ordinary people can't feel this weight, but for a dragon, it is right at hand.
Fortunately, Rias was not human and didn't need to worry about lifespan.
Although Tohru couldn't feel the power within Rias's body, judging by the activity level of magic in this world and the fact that the maid Crimson Moon Sakura had power comparable to her own, Tohru felt that Rias certainly wouldn't be short-lived.
"Next, it's time to work."
Rias stood up and said, "Shall we walk together?"
"Mhm!"
Looking at the hand Rias extended, Tohru carefully grasped that tender little hand, as if grasping the future~
Coming down from the roof of the Lords Mansion, Rias walked inside.
During this time, countless young girls came and went, emitting an aura from the same source as Crimson Moon Sakura, which left Tohru a bit bewildered.
Could it be that the system of this world is very strong?
As the daughter of the Emperor of Demise, having lived for about fifty thousand years, Tohru's strength was equivalent to the Transcendents of this world.
Even in her own world, Tohru was a dragon at the peak.
Yet here, dragons of this level were everywhere; it was simply too exaggerated.
Despite thinking this, Tohru didn't show it.
She only noticed that these people seemed to respect Rias very much?
Without a word along the way, Rias walked unimpeded to an office deep inside.
There, two people were busy reviewing documents.
One emitted an aura from the same source as those girls, while the other was a virtuous-looking girl with white hair and white eyes.
However, that appearance of writing furiously gave her a scholarly air amidst her gentleness.
The two were Rias's little secretaries: one was the Crimson Butterfly, and the other was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, whom Rias had once brought out from "Naruto".
The affairs and work of the Lord were generally completed by the two of them~
This way, Rias had time to do what she wanted to do~
Could this be considered... bringing back a tool person?
