66 I Forgot

"We'll do our best to not let you down Tenjou-sensei," Sonoko brightened up since at least she could seal the deal.

Sonoko left shortly after, the paperwork will be done in a few days but the release for the first volume of Re: Zero and Overlord has been set.

'In two weeks, Good thing I prepared for it in advance,' Yuuya thought as he lay down on the sofa in his office, he kept his phone on the table he actually felt really tired at the moment.

"Grayfia," Yuuya turned his head slightly to look at Grayfia standing near him, she seemed to be hesitating if she should speak or not. But hearing Yuuya she made up her mind to say it.

"Master, Why did you stop me from ending that disrespectful human?" Grayfia might've said something worse like 'Human waste or lesser creature' but since Yuuya was in front of her she minded her language.

"His life has already ended," Yuuya said looking up at the ceiling.

"I see Master, I am sorry for my short-sightedness," Grayfia bowed a little.

"No problem, Just don't endure it next time if you feel disrespected, if they are disrespecting you they are disrespecting me indirectly. So you are free to take action," Yuuya said looking at Grayfia again.

"…As you command Master," Grayfia answered as Yuuya yawned and looked drowsy.

Grayfia saw him go to sleep and light blush appeared on her face, she had been trying to stop it for a while now even using her ice magic to stop the blood from rushing to her face.

'I don't think I'll ever forget that,' Grayfia's blush deepened a little as she remembered what happened before. Yuuya's words in front of Tokisaki were playing in her mind non-stop.

But it didn't take long for Grayfia to regain herself as she walked out of the room to get some pillows and blankets for the sleeping Yuuya.

Grayfia covered Yuuya with a blanket after placing the pillow beneath his head so that he doesn't feel uncomfortable.

'The window and lights as well,' Grayfia moved quickly and closed the window, pulling shades to stop the sunlight from coming in and turning off the light.

'This should be enough,' Grayfia thought as she was now regulating the temperature of the room with her magic.

Grayfia actually wanted to give Yuuya a lap pillow at first but quickly discarded the idea on the off chance she woke him up.

She just opted to stand near him if he woke up and needs her assistance.

In the end, Yuuya slept through the whole day and woke up late in the evening because of how comfortable the surroundings were.

"Ugh," Yuuya opened his eyes with a slight groan.

"How was the sleep?" Yuu saw Apophis's face or half of her face since her face covered most of his vision.

"My neck hurts," Yuuya replied back to Apophis's cheeky smile and stood up.

"Whaaaat? I even went out of my way to give you a lap pillow," Apophis looked like she'll cry any second now.

"Shouldn't have," Yuuya said without a change in his tone as he took off the blanket from his legs while Apophis sighed.

"Would you like anything, Master?" Grayfia who was still standing near the sofa asked.

"A glass of water would be ...fine, Thank you" Before Yuuya even finished there was a glass of water in front of him, he thanked Grayfia before drinking it.

"Anything else, Master?" Grayfia asked taking the empty glass.

"…Food," Yuuya answered.

"The food has already been prepared, please come to the dining room after washing your face, Master," Grayfia guided Yuuya outside the room and closed the door behind him leaving Apophis alone in the room.

'She seems a bit displeased,' Apophis laughed as she stood up and also went to the dining room.

An hour later,

Yuuya was currently on his bed after having dinner and taking a bath. He was laid down on his bed and was about to sleep again since it was already time to sleep.

RING* RING*

Yuuya picked up his phone as he received a call.

-Hello, Yuuya you still awake?

"Yes," Yuuya answered as he heard Marin's voice from the other side, she seemed full of energy even though it was time to sleep.

-I see, I just wanted to ask you something.

"What?" Yuuya asked, he wanted to get this over with and go to sleep.

-Will you come to the cosplay convention with me on the day after tomorrow?

"…" Yuuya was halted in place for a bit after hearing Marin.

-...Hello? Yuuya? You there? Heeellllllloooooooooooo,

"…Sounds like a hassle," Yuuya said.

-Ahhhhh Come onnnnn~ It'll be fun you know, How can you turn down a girl when she musters up her courage to invite you?

"No," Yuuya refused flatly, showing Marin how he does it.

-...Tomorrow I'm going to pester you for the whole day.

"...So nothing is changing then?" Yuuya muttered.

-Man you're so mean, hahaha.

'You shouldn't be laughing when someone is being mean to you,' Yuuya sighed.

"I am hanging up," Yuuya said flatly.

-Sure have a good sleep, See you tomorrow Bye~.

Yuuya placed the phone on the bed and looked at the wall for a bit before standing up.

"Do you need something, Master?" Grayfia asked as she saw Yuuya coming out of his room.

"I forgot to do something," Yuuya said as he walked down the corridor with Grayfia following him as he reached his grandpa's room.

"Is it about Marin-san's cosplay outfit?" Grayfia asked as she saw him take out the sewing machine and the supplies he bought for the dress.

'If you remembered it you should've reminded me,' Even though Yuuya didn't say it his eyes did.

"…My apologies Master, I'll keep it in mind from next time," Grayfia bowed slightly as Yuuya sighed.

"It isn't your fault, this will take a while so you should go to bed first," Yuuya said as he laid down the cloth on the table, he was about to cut the cloth as he hasn't done anything. The whole topic slipped his mind.

"I'll wait here in case Master needs something," Grayfia smiled slightly, she would be fine even if she didn't sleep but Yuuya didn't look in a good condition.

The reason she hadn't asked to do the dress in his stead was that he didn't ask for her help yet and…

'Master might get displeased if I do so,' Grayfia looked at Yuuya nod as he started to make the outfit slowly.

She saw Yuuya cut the fabric and begins to assemble the dress. After that, he starts by sewing the bodice and attaching the sleeves.

He then adds the frills and extended cuffs to the armholes, ensuring that they are placed in the correct position. After that he adds the rose embroidery to the top layer of the dress, carefully placing it in the desired pattern.

The embroidery adds a touch of elegance and femininity to the dress, and the red roses on the mob cap complement the embroidery perfectly.

Grayfia had seen the dress take form right in front of her eyes as Yuuya worked without getting distracted.

'Is there magic being applied to that dress?' Grayfia could see faint wisps of mana rising from the assembled dress as Yuuya adds the crinoline to give the dress volume.

And lastly, he made the black platform heels for the dress using normal heels for the base, which adds height and elongates the legs, completing the outfit.

"...I am tired," Yuuya muttered with a sigh, he has been making the dress for nearly 3 hours straight without rest.

"Please have some water Master," Grayfia gave him some water which he drank quickly since he felt very parched.

"Would you like a massage before going to bed?" Grayfia asked.

"Certainly would," Yuuya nodded as he walked back out of the room going back to his own.

Grayfia looked at the dress he had just made for a moment before she turned off the lights and followed Yuuya back to his room.

The clock struck 12 as Yuuya was sleeping asleep on his bed while Grayfia was standing near the bed ready to leave since her job was done.

"Stay here," Grayfia halted in her steps as she looked back and saw Apophis grinning.

"You thought Ash said that, didn't you?" Apophis had impersonated Yuuya's voice just then.

"I certainly did not, I know how Master sounds," Grayfia wasn't lying even to most people Yuuya's voice might seem the same no matter the situation, she could tell the faint traces of his real intent in them.

They were very faint but she could clearly feel them, So she knew that the one who called out to her wasn't Yuuya.

"Now seriously that is some dedication," Apophis clapped with an amazed look.

"I will leave if there is nothing else," Grayfia said as she walked towards the door.

"I was serious when I said that, sleep here,"
