Shopping district, clothing store.
Utaha was selecting clothes, with Hayasaka providing consultation nearby.
Although they had just learned some shocking facts, those matters were too distant from them. Right now, buying new clothes was more important.
"Lord Roy, do you have enough money?"
While Utaha went to change clothes, Hayasaka came over to Roy and asked.
"I still have some savings, but only a little."
When talking about this, Roy's expression became very subtle.
"After all, there are two gold diggers at home. Every time they come back, they silently take away all my savings without any discussion. Those were hard-earned savings from my municipal work!"
Roy's expression was extremely painful.
But the wealthy Hayasaka couldn't empathize with his pain.
"You mean your sisters?"
Hayasaka had heard about the Aozaki family's affairs from Rin. That pair of sisters drifted around for years, leaving Roy alone at home, truly irresponsible sisters.
"Huh? I'm not an Aozaki."
Roy paused for a moment, then smiled at Hayasaka.
"I haven't told you, I'm just living with the Aozaki family. It's been three years already. Let's consider the stolen savings as rent, protection fees, and tuition. There's no complaint."
He's not an Aozaki?
So his full name isn't Roy Aozaki, but just Roy?
Hayasaka suddenly remembered Rin's warning: never touch upon Roy's past.
"I need to buy some daily necessities too."
Saying this, she quickly walked towards other stores.
The two girls didn't dare to keep Roy waiting for long, so they quickly picked out a few pieces of clothing and some daily necessities, then returned to Roy.
"Lord Roy, what are you looking at?"
As soon as they returned, they saw Roy staring at a piece of clothing displayed by a plastic mannequin in a certain shop.
It was a very cool outfit, with navy blue as the base color, very revealing on the chest, almost open at the back, with a fluttering short skirt, embroidered with lace edges, and came with matching hairbands, black stockings, and leg rings.
"Get two sets of these, no, four sets!"
Roy came to the shop assistant and said with a trembling voice.
Hayasaka & Utaha: (,,#Д)
"...Lord Roy, are you sure you want to buy this?"
"Just in case, let me ask, who is this for?"
"Of course it's for you to wear!"
Roy came to the two girls with a satisfied smile.
"Isn't it suitable?"
"Sorry, I'm not that shameless!"
"Forgive me for being blunt, but I've never worn such revealing maid outfits before."
"It's okay, it's already on!"
Roy laughed heartily.
His tone completely left no room for refusal. Clearly, this matter was already settled.
"Do you have enough savings?"
Hayasaka made one last effort.
"Even if it's not enough, I can still buy it on credit. Magi have this kind of privilege!"
Roy showed unusually firm determination.
Don't use your privileges in such places!
Both girls couldn't help but complain mentally at the same time.
After packing up all the clothes, the three embarked on their way back.
"By the way, what are the homunculi like in the magic world?"
On the way home, Utaha suddenly brought up an interesting topic.
"Not particularly special."
Roy replied nonchalantly: "Their bodies are designed to be the same as humans. Mentally, they are basically blank slates, with magi designing their mental tendencies. However, there are also very few homunculi who, at the moment of their birth, can possess quite outstanding sensibilities, just like normal humans. So it can't be generalized."
"What about the treatment of homunculi?"
"Very poor. In the eyes of the magi, they are just tools, consumables, easily created and easily discarded. No one cares about their feelings, like machines."
"Magi should be very short-handed right now. Even so, are homunculi still treated this inhumanely?"
"Homunculi don't have human rights to begin with. But as fighting power, they are indeed quite reliable since they can be replenished at any time. Therefore, the Mage's Association will give self-aware homunculi ranks, but homunculi can only be the lowest-ranked 'Frame', regardless of how strong they are, no exceptions are allowed."
Aha.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Well, if I have to say, it's for reference in writing. I originally write novels."
Utaha thought for a moment and frankly gave her answer.
She was suddenly transported here.
What if she could suddenly return?
Roy looked at her, said nothing, and silently walked forward.
Hayasaka also glanced at her, saying nothing.
Utaha's depth wasn't deep, or rather, it couldn't match these two. Her thoughts were basically seen through by them. Precisely because they saw through, they didn't say much.
After all, she was just a teenage girl and not yet an elite like Hayasaka.
Utaha needed a dream as a spiritual pillar.
***
Aozaki residence.
After returning home, Roy arranged a side bedroom for Hayasaka to stay in.
"Remember to change into the clothes!"
The two girls entered the bedroom with headaches.
"What to do, should we really wear it?"
"No problem for me."
Hayasaka entered the state of a devoted maid, skillfully changing clothes.
Utaha had no choice but to pick up the very cool maid outfit.
After changing clothes, the two walked out of the bedroom.
Roy had been eagerly awaiting in the living room for a long time. Upon hearing footsteps, his eyes lit up. But when he saw the two figures, he was greatly disappointed.
"How did you guys do this?"
"It's cool now, believe Lord Roy will sympathize with us."
Utaha smiled and turned gracefully, happily displaying her posture in the maid outfit.
It was indeed the backless maid outfit Roy bought, but Roy never expected that she would wear another layer of lining inside, covering her body tightly.
It was very uninteresting!
Next to her, Hayasaka was dressed the same way, but she didn't speak, letting Utaha test whether the gun would fire.
"Sigh, forget it then."
Roy shook his head, seemingly losing interest.
"I originally wanted to check whether you have the aptitude to practice magecraft, as a reward for showing me the maid outfit!"
The atmosphere in the living room instantly froze.
Hayasaka silently turned and walked back to the bedroom without a word.
Utaha cursed traitor in her heart and also quickly walked to the bedroom.
Roy smiled contentedly.
When the two reappeared from the bedroom, Roy immediately felt that the world before him was different.
All the linings on their bodies were gone. Although the styles of the maid outfits were almost identical, when worn by Utaha and Hayasaka, they presented two completely different styles.
Utaha's figure was fuller. The edges of the maid outfit outlined her proud body curves, even sinking into her snow-white soft flesh. The revealing style fully displayed her chest. The cleavage was so deep that it seemed to pull people in. Her legs were covered with black stockings, and the absolute territory between the short skirt and stockings was dazzlingly white.
She was still somewhat reserved, her face flushed red, her eyes dodging, giving off a "I'm not wearing a maid outfit for you" tsundere vibe.
Hayasaka's figure was slimmer, without the feeling of being squeezed like Utaha. Her slender body appeared even more delicate, especially her waist which could be held with one hand, making people want to play with it uncontrollably. It seemed she deliberately wanted to differentiate herself from Utaha. She wore pristine, spotless white stockings on her legs, making people want to defile her.
To change her impression, Hayasaka intentionally let her golden hair fall down, using flower-shaped hair clips to hold her bangs at the corners of her forehead. Her azure pupils blinked innocently, exuding an air of youthful naivety with a hint of cunningness.
Two maids, one with black hair and black stockings, a proud and full-figured type; the other with golden hair and white stockings, a cunning and delicate type.
Ahh, life has no regrets!
