At night, the Carlisle mansion.

　When I returned to the mansion after the Sannett Village Festival was over, I was in your father's office.
　Inside the office are your father, me, and Chosen.
　Father sitting, me standing beside him, and Chosen standing in front like a sinner.

　The reason I'm here and not in my study is because your father has Chosen now.

"Why were you in Thanet?

　The questioning was not done by me, but by my father.

It's because she's Father's maid.

　Pressured by his father, Chosen replied forcefully, "I told you to stay in the house.

I told you to stay in the house.
"Ugh ......
"I want to be with Alec. Any other plea.
None.

　Chosen replied immediately.
　Troublemaker, but also refreshing.

"Okay. Alec.
"Yes, Father.
I leave it to you to decide.
"Are you sure, Father?

　I asked back with a raised eyebrow.
　Of course, not just in this case, not literally.

　Before Chosen showed up, that is, just before the soul-eaters showed up, I was talking to my father about Eliza.
　She told your father that Eliza had warned her to cut Chosen off.
　And yet, your father returned the chosen to me.

　...... No, that's why, so.

What do you mean? You're your maid.
...... that too.

　I slowly turned to Chosen.

"Wait for me, Father.
"What is it?　Do you have anything additional to offer?
"No.

　Chosen was extremely calm.

They should be here in a few minutes.
"Arrival?
Yes.

　As I was wondering what this was all about, there was a knock on my office door.

　A maid of your father's came in.
　She's the former head maid who only takes care of your father after handing it over to Amelia.
　She's just the chaperone, but she's doing it right, so it's no secret.

"Master, you have a visitor.
"Customer?　At this hour?
With the Duke of Oin's family.

　My father and I both looked at Chosen.

He's here.

　When Chosen said with a smile, I looked at my father and compared them to each other.

　　　　　.

　I went out the front door and there were two girls.

Sister!
Here they come.

　They looked first at Chosen, who was next to me.
　I guess I didn't run to him right away because my father and I--the duke and the father of the country--were right in front of him.

　Beyond them is the luggage.
　It's more than just a trip, it's a moving package.

What's this about, Chosen?
I've called all my sisters. Please let me be Father's maid.

　She's a rash and a troublemaker, but her faith in me is a real chosen .
　She said to me in a pestilential tone.

That's fine, all of them?
Yes, we are three sisters.
It's okay?

　I was surprised.

　The fact that the maids of honor have been sent around me one after another is seen as a kind of political marriage by their fathers, if not by them.

　I've turned down a lot of arranged marriages, as I've decided and professed that my main room is Angers.

　Hossen's "I'm not counting beyond a thousand! is a testament to the sheer number of them.
　Because it was known that maids would accept them, everyone sent them in droves.

　That's why they all have only "one" because of that nature.

　Where there was more than one daughter, they would send one, and where there was no daughter, they would send it for a hurriedly adopted daughter.
　Most of the time it was like that.

　Even though I've been a nobleman for more than ten years, this is the first time they've taken a daughter and sent her to me, which was a bit of a surprise.

　Be that as it may.
　Everywhere I went, I only sent one person to make a connection, and Chosen invited not only her, but her sisters as well.
　And all of them.

Are you sure about this?

　I was so surprised that I had to ask twice.

I know what you mean. Yeah, I had a fight with your father. Of course I got in a fight with him.


You got that far?

　This is completely right by Duke Oin.
　It is strategically stupid to put all the eggs in one basket.

''Of course. The Father's side is the happiest place in the world. You're a man, you don't understand.
"I'm a man, but I understand.
You should be more aware of how blessed you are to be your father's father.
...... hmmm, this is a fierce case.

　No, no, no, father, what are you going to do if you are convinced?
　I mean, you were just lightly lectured.　That's the thing.

　...... I hope it's okay, because it's about your father.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

"My sisters will be maids for our father.
"......

　It was real.

　He was delusional, he didn't listen to me, and that's gotten him into a lot of trouble.
　Chosen's feelings were real, it felt real.

　Let's start with ...... because they haven't done anything (、、、、、) yet.

Okay. I'll take both of you as maids.
"Thank you!　Here you guys are too.
"Oh, thank you!
I'll do my job.

　And Chosen is .......

"Chosen, about you,
"Yes.

　Chosen gave me a blank stare.

"You will be my maid again.
"Are you sure, Alec?
Yes, father, I think you should keep it out of sight, yet
That's right. Then Chosen Oin, your punishment is lifted now. From now on you will do your duty for Alec.
Of course.

　Chosen said proudly, not surprisingly.
　That's not the attitude of a maid.

Huh?

　The conversation had just ended when the door of the house opened and Eliza came in.

"Master?　How did it get here?　And the customer?

　When Eliza came into the mansion, she called me "master".
　That means I'm back to be a maid.

　Eliza said to her.

"Have you been skipping work again?

　I was angry.

I'm not skipping out, it's a proper master-approved vacation.
No, it's sloppy. Don't you realize that you are Father's maid in the first place? How can you lose your vacation every time you take one?

　Chosen to preach with all his might.

　It was an amazing scene.
　The duchess said to the emperor, "Do you realize that you are a maid? And preaching. It's a surreal sight.

　What's even more amazing is that neither you nor Chosen think it's funny, and what's more--

Yes, I do, and when I'm a maid, I work hard.

　Even Eliza is about to stand in the same ring and talk.

"...... Hey Chosen
"What is it?
"What would you do if the guy was my maid of honor?

　The exchange with Eliza was so great that I couldn't help but ask her.
　When asked the question, Chosen answered immediately without hesitation.

"You mean Astaroth.
"Huh?
"It's a well-known fact that the Father follows God. But even if he is a god it doesn't change anything. Whoever he is, he's just a maid.
No, not God, but something more straightforward and awesome.

　Or the emperor.

Whatever it is, I'm with you.

　Chosen to answer immediately without hesitation.

　...... is amazing.
　I think that Chosen is more of a girl than I thought.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
"Ugh, well, that's ......
If you want to make your own decisions, at least be a head maid. A maid would never do that. Of course it is.


"Gunununu ......

　Chosen by Eliza on the same stage.

"Father wouldn't be intimidated by such a thing.
"You know you're annoying your master, maid.
"Gunununu ......

　I'm going to try to fight back even more, but I'm still stuck in it.

　I'm sure you're going to be able to find a way to make your life easier for you and your family.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that ...... is a good place to start.
I'll work for you.

　Chosen's sisters looked so happy, and I saw their happy faces immediately.
　I thought to myself, "Okay, that's good.
