After finishing their food, the sun was already setting, and it was getting close to sleeping time. But this was when Alfia realised that there was only a single bed in the whole house.
The silver-haired girl started to have a bad feeling about this…
"...Where…"
"With me, of course, ~"
"...Pervert!"
"Haa? Please, You belong to me, Alfia~ That means I will have you to hug. It has been a while since I had company~" Marcus teased her ruthlessly, which made her blush from embarrassment!
'Damn that pervert!'
Regardless, he pulled her into a room made from marble.
Her eyes slightly widened as she saw a bathroom. She immediately started to blush.
"W-What are you planning to do?"
"Wash you up as you wash me~" He smiled at her as he liked that reaction.
"..."
She tried to control her emotions as her expression underwent several reactions.
"What? Do you even know what a maid is supposed to do?" He teased her even more.
Alfia's eyebrows twitched as she knew well enough what a maid should do. However, she never considered that she would end up in that situation. She used to be far too strong to be someone like a maid.
"I am well aware…"
"Then what is with that reaction?" He asked as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
"...Ugh…" The girl didn't want to comment on that as she knows her new 'Master' will call her stupid…again!
"...Nothing…" As she said, she started to undress. But she did that very slowly, unlike Marcus, who got naked swiftly.
Once naked, he walked to the tap and turned it on. Warm water started to pour from the top of the ceiling.
The girl stopped undressing as she looked at this interesting invention of some sort.
"This is a shower. Pressurised water is pumped from a water tank and then released from the holes in the ceiling," he explained to her as he noticed her watch it with interest.
"Now come over~ I will wash your back~"
Marcus motioned for her to come over to his side. Alfia sighed as she realised she was treated more like a pet than a maid.
Her pride as one of the best and strongest members of Hera's Familia is constantly getting shattered by this strange being who is absurdly strong.
The Alchemist could see her black panties and bra as she undid her black dress. This girl loves her black colour far too much.
Regardless, after the dress, she removed her bra and panties.
Then, she immediately hid her assets with her hands.
Slowly, she walked over. Trying not to look at him, she was far too embarrassed.
"Haah…why are you hiding…I am just a little boy getting spoiled by his beautiful maid~" Marcus abused his 'small statue' as he spoke with a childish voice.
"...Right… as if I believe that!" Alfia exclaimed with embarrassed anger.
The alchemist snorted before grabbing her hand and pushing her to sit in a specially prepared seat. He then prepared some soap and a sponge.
"Let's see if I still remember how to do this~."
One of his hands brushed through her back as he was locating nerves.
Alfia's eyes trembled as she felt goosebumps.
Then his finger pressed on her back.
"Aghh~~~!?"
A confused moan escaped from her lips.
"Hahaha, someone is stiff~ Don't worry. Your master will fix you up~" Marcus teased her as he squeezed those muscles to release all that piled-up stress.
Alfia's eyes twitched as tears started to well up. She is trying to control herself and not start moaning like some peasant girl.
"Hehehe. You think you can hide it~?" He whispered into her ear from them back. His hand went to her sides and grabbed over there.
At that moment, the beauty felt like something had exploded in her. Torrents of lightning current washed her whole body.
"Haaahhhh~~~" The silver-haired beauty moaned into the ceiling as she gazed up.
'W-What kind of monster are you~~~"
The girl was confused. She didn't understand what was going on anymore.
All he did was touch her back. But her body is going crazy. Where is this pleasure coming from?
After touching her sides and relaxing her muscles, Marcus washed her hair. Then he did her back.
He was about to wash her front, but the beauty snapped out and complained.
"H-Hold it! I can do this myself!"
"Nope~~~ my maid, my rules. If you want to complain, we can fight again~"
He smiled at her, making her lips twitch.
"...ugh…fine…" She sighed in defeat as she allowed him to wash her front, too.
Just like that, unknowingly, Marcus started to tame one of the most powerful and quite obnoxious females in the world.
Embarrassing her with all the washing, it was her time to do.
"C'mon, it has been ages since someone washed my back!"
After showering, they went to the bed, which was big enough for two people. Alfia's lips twitched again as Marcus, who was in his bed, motioned for her to get into it.
The beauty sighed. Since he already saw her naked, there was not much else she could do.
Thankfully, he is too young for the adult stuff, but by now, it's only a matter of time.
Once in the bed, the alchemist used Alfia's assets as his pillow.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
With a new addition to his household, Marcus needed to do some shopping. He needed more food and more materials, as he wanted to make a maid uniform for the beauty standing behind him.
"Something is up." The inventor noticed that the city streets were empty.
"...It appears Evilus started with the operation," Alfia sighed.
"...Evilus?" He stopped walking and turned to the side, looking at her.
"You could say it an organisation of several Familias led by an Evil God. I was part of it before you decided to make me your maid." The silver-haired girl said with little to no care.
"Why? It sounds lame. I would rather blow them up than join something which sounds just evil with an extra two letters." He grimaced at bad naming sense.
"...Naming sense aside–" She started to explain to him.
"We joined as our life span is getting close to expiring. You see, Orario went through a change in leadership. I come from Hera Familia.
My Familia, alongside Zeus' Familia, ruled Orario for a long time. But now it's ruled by Freya and Loki's Familia. The difference is that they don't have members with high levels like my Familia or Zeus."
"So you planned to play the villain to improve their levels?" He realised her angle with this.
"...Precisely. But now?"
The beauty grimaced.
"I don't see a reason with you around here." She honestly explained.
"...You assume that I care."
"...You should. If the city falls, who will get all the food you need? Or who will keep monsters at bay?" She reasoned with him.
"...For a maid, you sure like making me annoyed." He replied with a frown. But she was right.
"My job as your maid is to make sure you are well taken care of. If the city doesn't have food, how will I take care of you?" Alfia said with a 'smile'. She knew well enough that she got him cornered here.
Tsk
"Fine."
He turned around and proceeded to return to his house.
"We shall prepare. I expect your support, Alfia."
"...That much is given." The silver-haired girl nodded at him. There was no hesitation in her movement.
"Good."
…
…
…
As the pair returned, Marcus immediately went to work at his forge. He quickly pulled out the moulds he had prepared before and swiftly started to heat the ingots he had stored away.
'Is he going to make armour at this time?'
The girl looked baffled by his actions. Doesn't it take time to prepare gear like this?
As the steel ingots were melting, he was making runes he was going to write on the pieces of armour.
After several tries, he got what he wanted: boots, legs, arms, and chest. However, he took his time to work on the hand armour as both of his hands were going to be rune casters.
Soon enough, he broke the mould and pulled out the armour pieces.
The Alchemist inspected the armour he had created. With a nod and a small smile, he swiftly went downstairs to collect the rubber he had.
As he was doing all that, the girl continued to watch as she wanted to see what this armour was going to be.
It looked like heavy plate armour. She wonders if he will be able to use it with his small frame.
Wouldn't it be better if he prepared something with monster loot?
Honestly, With his weird magic, he doesn't need much protection.
But then she stopped in her tracks as she saw him adding those weird letters into the armour pieces.
With each sentence he put, the letters would send ripples of some strange magic through the armour.
Alfia realised that what he was making was not some simple armour.
Around the evening of the same day. He finished with his preparations.
"Let's go, I will dispose of these… Evilus idiots." Marcus sheathed his Yamato while saying that. After placing his armour pieces, the blade was no longer heavy to him.
"Very well."
The girl nodded at him. His display of ability to make armaments in just a few moments has slightly spooked her. Whoever makes an enemy of him in future…
Well, it's not her business…
~~~
Not long after Marcus left his house, a chain explosion rocketed the city, and pillars of light followed.
"We are at this point already…" Alfia said to Marcus as she looked around.
"Weren't you one of the Evilus minions? Do you know what is going on?" The alchemist looked confused for a second as he looked around. He can sense some wild mana in the air.
What he sensed were explosives. Mana explosives are made from those crystals.
"Minion? Please don't put me at their level. I am only one of two remaining level 7s." Alfia huffed before explaining to him.
"This is nothing more than a ploy by Erebus. The leader of Evilus. He rigged several familia houses to blow up, which sent several gods back to Tenkai." She explained to him.
"Since many of the adventures don't want to kill Evilus members, they are in a worse situation." She explained to him.
"So terrorists style fighting? I assume your Evilus members have suicide attackers, too?" Marcus easily saw through this scheme.
"Yes…" She was slightly surprised at how quickly he got the idea of what was going on.
"That means the city is being held hostage too."
"...Yes… You did something like this before?" She asked curiously. The way he spoke tells her that conflicts were not something new to him.
"In a way. I ended a world war before. What is happening here is child play compared to war with millions of people dying daily."
"..."
She looked at him with disbelief.
'Whatever was his previous world, I don't want to know the details.'
"Let's go. First, I will remove the bombs from the city gates. Then I shall slaughter whatever Evilus is left."
After instructing, his plate boots glowed as he leapt into the air. Alfia followed after him.
~~~
Meanwhile, a large battle was happening in the South of Orario. On one side were Adventurers of Orario, led by Loki and Freya Familia's strongest. On the other side were the people of Evilus, led by a single level 7 Zald.
An array of Level 5 was struggling against a single Level 7, who easily held them down.
But at that moment, a whole section of city walls trembled loudly, making everyone stop.
"Someone detonated the gates!?"
"No… something else just happened."
At that moment, the black-dressed girl dropped down behind Evilus' troops.
"Alfia, you are back?" Zald looked relieved for a bit.
"...About that…"
**SWOOSHHH**
Extremely sharp wind from the top of a wall released a wave of magic energy, cutting tens of people in half.
This attack made the air turn quiet and sharp, like someone stroking a blade's edge through people's necks.
"These fools are Evilus? Yes?" A boy asked the girl as he landed next to her.
"Yes...." Alfia replied respectfully to his question.
"I see. Then you people don't need to live anymore. I shall send you all on your way."
