A few days later, Eliza came to hang out.

　You can find that Eliza, who is a burglar, is dressed up more than usual.
　Even our familiar living room seems to have been transformed into an even more elegant space just by the presence of Eliza.

"Eliza is a burglar, right?
Yes, you do?
"Is it okay to dress so conspicuously?
It's okay. As long as the emperor doesn't see you, you can serve as a disguise.
"I see.

　So that's it.
　Eliza now looks nothing like the emperor, just like she said she would.

　She just looks like some beautiful girl.

　It's a known fact that the emperor is a woman.

Not everyone sees someone so beautiful and thinks, "Hey, it's the emperor.
"What the hell are you talking about?
Hmm?

　For some reason, Eliza reacts so violently that I tilt my head back.

"What's stupid?
"Hey, you said it yourself. Ki, ki, ki ......
"Beautiful people?
"------!

　Eliza is even more surprised and slumps back in grandiosity.
　Did I say something so strange?
　I think a hundred people would say that Eliza is beautiful in a hundred people's eyes right now .......

"Well, okay. Well, that's okay, I'm just doing my job of disguise.
Yeah, I guess so.

　For some reason, Eliza's face turns bright red.
　You don't seem to want me to dig into this somehow, so this is the end of the topic.

　Just as I was about to talk about something else, there was a knock at just the right moment and a maid, Amelia, walked in.

Drinks for you, sir.
"Thank you guys

　Amelia smiles and pushes a trolley into the room with her two maids in tow.
　She places a cup of clear amber tea on the table between me and Eliza, who are sitting across from each other.

　Combined with the white porcelain tea set, it looks very 'beautiful' for a drink.

Excuse me.

　Amelia and the other maids bowed curtly and pushed the cart out.

"Come on in--Eliza?
Are those the maids in the house?

　When I was about to offer her a cup of tea, Eliza looked at the door, toward the maids who had just left.

'Yes. Amelia has been around for a long time, so I'm sure Eliza has seen her a few times.
"...... I don't remember that.
You're a maid.

　The emperor wouldn't be able to remember every maid from another family.

I don't think I'll ever forget it.
Why?
"The one where the fullness of humanity shines through. What's going on?
"What ...... hmmm, yeah.

　The changes in Amelia and her maids, if you ask me, there is only one answer.

Dorothy.
"What?
"Wow.

　When Dorothy was called, her upper body emerged from my shadow, an action that startled Eliza.

"I'm sorry, I'll just explain. It's okay.
"Yes.

　Even though I told her I only called her up to explain, Dorothy retreated into the shadows with a happy face.

　She insists on returning the favor, and tends to be happy to do whatever I ask of her.

'What a surprise.
I'm sorry, but I thought it would be faster if you saw it in person.
Did you start something new again?

　Eliza was startled for a moment, but soon regained her usual composure.
　The word "again" seems to have contributed to her calmness.

　I took out a dagger that was the spare key, so to speak, different from the one I gave to Dorothy.

Yes. This dagger will cut my shadow and allow me to get inside. As long as I'm under, I can use my opponent's powers.
"Huh?　Can I get in?
Of course . Try it.

　I handed the dagger to Elisa.

　Without any hesitation at all, Elisa slashed my shadow on the table and groped first, then put in her hand.

"Wow, that's interesting,

　After realizing that the hand was coming in, Eliza dove in with her whole body.
　Eliza entered me.

　We waited, about ten minutes.
　Eliza slowly came out of my shadow.



　He sat back down with a thud at his original position on the couch.
　His face is puffy and dazed.

　She has the same reaction as the maids.

"Eliza.
"......
"Are you okay Eliza?
"Yeah, yeah.

　Calling hard, Eliza came to her senses.

"How did it go?
You think this is what all the maids are doing?

　A question was returned with a question.

"Yeah, all the young kids,
"How envious ...... Gohon

　I was about to say something and then coughed up a cough.
　I don't know what's wrong with me.

　Well, it doesn't matter.

I can talk to Eliza without hiding it, but it seems that when she's in my shadow, her soul gradually ranks higher and higher, up to about an A.
"Huh.

　The story cut to the chase, and Eliza's face returned to full expression.
　Hearing the new knowledge, the intelligent Eliza looked almost emperor-like.

"I think that's what Eliza was talking about when she said 'fullness is glowing at the bottom'.
...... That's not all you need to know.
"Huh?

　Eliza murmurs again in an inaudible level of whispering.

"I'm motivated to be a maid thanks to you. How can you say that ...... all of us have been pseudo-feminized?
"Huh, I see.

　Apparently, Eliza is not very articulate today.
　Too much dialogue is inaudible.

"...... Alec
"What?
"I'm going to sleep over today. In the shadows.
"My?
Okay, of course.
"Yeah, it's fine, but--oh

　Without waiting for a full reply, Eliza slipped into my shadow again.

　Hmmm, I wonder what's going on.
