I was able to listen to Filia and Krona as they calmed down a bit more.
　
　Come on!　It's another pleasant morning!　I have to get to Master Ray's as soon as possible!

'Lady Phelia!　Let's get out of here!　I'm going to be the first one to be petted today!

　Master Ray's nudge feels so good!　What can I say, it looks like it's fluffy and fluffy and flying in the sky!　Rumbling cat!　It's like that!

'Wait!　I'm the best person to have your brother stroke me!

　In the morning, they always fight over the order of stroking. Lady Filia won't give up this order of nudging!　I wish I was the first to be patted down!

'It's not fair!　Always putting Lady Phelia first!

　That's what I say and I'm puffed up. It makes my cheeks swell to the point of being puffy already!　Oh, but since yesterday, when I make this face, Master Ray pokes me. Me and Phelia-sama are so happy about it that we make this face every time we see Master Ray!　Oh, I can't wait to meet Master Ray!
　Then it seems that Master Phelia is finally ready to go.

''Good!　I'm ready!　Krona, have you got the towel?

Yes, I have it from your mother!　We have other things to drink and more!

　Your mother said. A maidservant must anticipate her master's actions and act accordingly. Hmmm!　Now I'll soon have the title of Master Ray's personal perfect maid!

'Then let's go!　Your brother is waiting for you!

'Yes!　Let's go, yikes!

　I fell down trying to follow Miss Phelia. My forehead hurts........but I won't cry. A perfect maid shouldn't cry over something like this. Sniff.

"Are you all right, Krona?

'I'm fine!　Come on, let's go, Lady Phelia!

　As we finally begin to leave, we talk about today.

'Today we're going to have your mother and brother pick out a dress for you!　Oh, I can't wait for lunch!

　As I was walking down the corridor while talking about this, a round person came out from a bend in the corridor. Let's see, it's Marco-sama, I believe it's Ray-sama and Phelia-sama's brother, Marco-sama. My first impression of him is that he's round anyway. I wondered if he was similar to Ray-sama and Phelia-sama's brother, but he doesn't look like them at all. I don't know why.

'What?　It was my sister Phelia, I believe. And the cat lady's handmaiden?

　Then he looks at me with a jerk look. What is it? I'm happy for Lady Ray to look at me, but this guy isn't happy at all!

What is it, brother Marko?

　When Lady Filia asked that, Marco said.

Hey, Phelia. Give me that handmaiden.

　For a moment, Lady Phelia and I did not understand what was being said. What do you mean by giving me away?

What do you mean, my brother?

I'm offering you your own personal handmaiden. Shouldn't I be honored?　You're going to be my personal assistant. Baboon!　She's going to be beautiful in the future, so if we can train her now...

　He says that and laughs with a sick face.

''Hee!　What are you talking about!　Krona will be your brother Ray's personal maid!　And I don't want you to treat Krona like a thing!

　Lady Phelia is angry for me.

'Shut up. You, my sister, should just listen to me. 'Come on, little handmaid!　I'm going to start loving you plenty today!

　And then he grabs my hand!

No, no, please!　No!　Let me go!

You must stop!

　Lady Phelia and I resist, but it makes no sense at all.

''Shut up!''

　Saying this, I push Master Phelia away. I couldn't hold back and bit Master Marco's arm!

'Wow!　What's going on here, b*tc*?　You think it's okay to disobey your master!

'Whew!　Whew!　My master is Master Ray!　It's not you!

　Then Master Marko said.

You beastman-like woman!　If people are on the wrong side of the line, you're going to feel good about it. Screw you!

　Master Marco raises his arms and strikes at me. I was too scared to move. Then I saw a shadow that came between me and Marco-sama. I looked behind me to see who it was, but it was Phelia-sama. Oh, it's dangerous!

Wind!

　Filia-sama's wind magic is still only level 1, so it's not very powerful. It only hits Marco-sama with a gust of wind. Marco was a little frightened, but he just swung his arm down. And then he was hit by...

Yikes!

　Lady Filia. Don on the wall!　I was sent flying so vigorously that there was a loud noise. I run over to Phelia-sama.

''Miss Phelia!　Are you okay!

　Oh!　There's blood in my mouth!　I immediately take out my handkerchief. The blood has stopped immediately, but Phelia-sama's cheeks have become red and black and swollen!　Oh, my God!

Hm!　Because the handmaid's looks are getting better. Filia. Take care to say your goodbyes before noon. You won't be able to see them after noon, you know. Baboon.

　With that, Master Marko left. I was so upset that I couldn't do anything. Then Phelia-sama left.

''Let's go to your brother's place. I hope my water magic method will help the swelling go down.

　Phelia-sama curing herself with the Water Demon Method. However, since the Water Demon Method is level 1, the swelling has only gone down a little. The red swelling didn't change.

　We walked in silence after that. Why does the usual pleasant morning feel so painful...

　I think about it, and before I know it, we'll be outside. Outside, Ray-sama walks over to me. The moment Phelia-sama and I saw Ray-sama, we started to cry. The tears were due to the fact that we were scared, and the fact that we were relieved to see Ray-sama, and they didn't stop for the time being....
　
　When I heard that, I immediately wanted to go to Marco's place, but I had to reassure the two of them first. I'm going to treat Filia with water magic. Yeah, she looks beautiful as usual.

'See, the swelling has gone down. You look as beautiful as always.

　I said and stroked her swollen cheek. Then she felt relieved and started to cry again. That's good.

You see, Krona, too. You must have been scared. You've been working hard.

　I pet Krona too. Then Krona starts to cry too. That's OK.

　I kept stroking him until he calmed down, and after about five minutes, he finally calmed down.

Are you okay now?

'Yes, thank you. My brother.

'Thank you!　Master Ray!

'I have to go now, so you two are going to Chloe's place. All right?

But....

Look, I'm fine. Okay?

I see. Lady Filia.

'I understand. But I'll definitely let you pick out the dress for lunch!

Haha, okay, Phelia. I'll pick out a pretty one for you.

　I gave them both a pat on the head, and they finally smiled. Yes, smiles are the best thing for both of them.

　I went back to the house, and while I was petting them, they calmed down a bit, but they were still angry. The Hikarin on top of my head is also angry, making a buzzing sound. I'm friends with Phelia, who can see the spirits.

''I'm going to release my power!　Master!　We're going to put a big one in here!

　...Yeah, Hikarin's anger calmed me down. I asked a nearby handmaid where Marco was. That's when I asked the handmaid if she could help me.

Heeeee!

　I was shocked that he was surprised. I should have smiled at him, right?

　Marco is apparently with Zeke and Mrs. Eliza and the others. Come to think of it, we were going to let him stay with them yesterday and today. I usually forgot about it.

　You can go to the front of the room and ask the maidservant to confirm your entry.

'I'd like to be assisted, please.'

But Mr. Zeke has asked me not to call you unless it's urgent.

You don't think you're in a hurry that I'm here?

　So he says and intimidates them with a little magic. Now Zeke is inside, and I'm sure his wife would have noticed.

''No, no. It's not like that, but...''

　You're sweating profusely. I think I've done something a little bad. Then from inside.

What's going on?

　'I'm sorry,' came out Mrs. Burns.

'Oh, Lady Eliza. Master Ray would like to see Master Zeke and Master Marko.

'For Zeke and Marco?　Ray, what's going on?

I just wanted to talk to you about a few things.

　I say, and he gazes at me.

I understand. But don't use your magical powers to intimidate me. It's going to be hard on your handmaiden.

I understand. I'm sorry.

　He laughed and apologized to the maidservant and shook his head at a great rate. You don't have to be so freaked out.....

　When I walked into the room, I saw Zeke, Marco and Won't, too.

'What the hell is going on, Ray?　I told them not to let you pass unless it was urgent, but what's going on?

Yes, father. I just wanted to have a word with your brother Marco.

Oh, yeah. Marco, what's going on?

'Well?　I have no idea what to make of it.

　Marco laughs at that. You've got to be kidding me.

　Bees bee, bees bee, bees bee...

　Oops Hikarin. I know you're angry, but I don't want you to release lightning magic on my head too much. Because when I look in the mirror later on, I'll see that it's even dusty.

''How can you make a joke like that? You beat up Filia.

　Zeke's face changed from one of bewilderment to one of seriousness when he heard this. 'Mrs. Zeke,' he said, his face also looking dubious.

'What do you mean by that, Marco?

'Phelia doesn't listen to me, so I'm just educating her a little, father.

　Marco says this without offense. Oh no, I don't think I can stand it.

'You say you don't listen to me because you were trying to protect Krona. Your brother tried to force Krona to be his maid of honor, and when Phelia and Krona refused, he beat her up.

Marco, you're telling the truth, aren't you?

The truth is, though, they're the ones to blame. Filia didn't listen to me, and she even bit me when it came to the handmaidens. That's right!　You should fire that handmaiden. You don't need a handmaid to mess with your master.

　With a thud, I heard something inside me snap.

I'm not going to be able to say anything stupid and say, "Lightning magic lightning body grant double activation!　Stop it, Ray!

　I hadn't heard Zeke's voice. I was just occupied with hitting Marco.

'Huh!'

　Too fast to know what's going on, he shakes his fist in Marco's face...

　But before he could hit Marco, someone paid off his fist and hit the floor.

　Doggone it!　The floor is gutted with a loud bang. I looked at the person I paid and it was still Zeke. I was fist-boned as hard as I could.

Ow~!

'f*ck you!　I know what you're going through, but you're overreaching!　Hitting Marco with that kind of force would kill him.

Oh....

　I guess I forgot to add or subtract in my anger.

　I looked around and saw Mrs. Marko pouring defensive water magic on Marco and Won't know what happened, and Marco pissing his ass off at Won't, who had no idea what happened.

'Marco. Normally, I would send you back to the territory to re-train you, but in another six months you'll be enrolled in the academy. I'm going to give you my trusty staff until you get there. Train that flabby body again!

Yes!

For the first time, I saw Zeke get angry.

'Also, I'm under house arrest at the mansion without attending this birthday party.

Oh, no!

You understand.

Yes, sir.

　Zeke silenced him by releasing his intimidation.

'I'm sorry Eliza, I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

It can't be helped. It's Marco's fault this time.

'Ray, I know how you feel, but you've gone too far. I want you to be confined to the mansion for the rest of the day.

I understand.

Father!　Why do that guy and I deal with each other differently!

Huh? Who's there?

Yes, did you want to see me?

Take Marco to the bathroom and then don't let him out of the room. Marco. You need to think about what you've done.

　Saying that, Marco is dragged away by the handmaidens. That's a lot of power, handmaid........

　He was replaced by a handmaiden.

What!　Now that's a sound!

　And then Ellis and Chloe, Phelia and Krona came in.

'So you're Ellis. I'm sorry, but now me, Eris and Elsa want to talk to you. Okay?

That's okay, but what the hell is going on?

Have you heard from Phelia?

In the grand scheme of things. You don't think Ray is?

Yeah, we'll talk about that too. Ray. You're going to go in your room. Filia. I'm sorry, but Ray can't go shopping today.

Oh no!

　Phelia starts to cry as she says this.

'I'm sorry for both Chloe and Krona. Especially Krona. I'm sorry I gave you a scary thought.

'No, no, I'm fine. Lady Filia has protected me.

Well. Great job, Phelia.

　Zeke strokes his head as he says this. I'll get out of here while I still can.

　I'm walking down the hallway when I see Hikarin.

Great, great!

　He patted me on the head. I suddenly felt so embarrassed...
