Chapter - 48 [ #V1.31 : Danmachi : A New Maid Again!? ]

...

[ FLASHBACK! ]

After many discussions with Haruhime, Grafiya announced her descision to be a maid in service to her new master, Ash. It means she will obey his words only. But unlike her, Haruhime who is also a servant to him, will obey others too, with priority being his words.

A few hours later, Grafiya's mother woke up while massaging her eyes. She was confused as she never seen such a house before. She still remembers that she was sleeping in her room. Though as she began to panic, Grafiya entered her room, and she was relieved. But when the silver haired maid explained what happened, she was looking outside through the window with a shocked gaze.

"Wait! What did you just say?"

Her mother suddenly asked stunning even her with the speed she moved. Grafiya who didn't expect her mother to ask something tilted her head in confusion. Her mother asked again,

"What did you say your job was again!?"

"Oh, it's to be a maid serving the man who saved us?"

"That!! You said that important and immoral word!!"

"..???"

Grafiya was even more confused. She understood as it is important, but what did she mean by immoral? Was being a servant or maid immoral?

"You became a M-A-I-D!! And to a M-A-N!! It's one of my dreams!!! And you realised it before ME!?!? Not fair!!!"

'I now know from where did I got my Maid festish... But isn't she a little too old for th—'

"Did you think of something rude just now?"

"N-No! Or rather, Mother! What do you want to do? You shouldn't be doing anything like that!!"

"Oh? You can do it, but I can't? My dear daughter, who do you think I am? Do you think I don't know we have the same feelings? Like me, you want your new Master to Order you to D—"

"Okay fine!! Stop saying it!!"

Grafiya could only sigh in frustration and embarassment. Her mother smiled victoriously before asking,

"By the way, can you lead me to that gentleman? I'd like to thank him~~!"

'There's no way, right?'

...

In front of Ash was a beautiful mature woman with silver hair that reached her knees, red eyes. She had a more mature version body of Grafiya but with more assets you can say. She had a striking similar features to Grafiya, but more on a mature version. Though she seems to be acting childish.

She was fidgeting a little while looking at him, which confused him. But Grafiya who stood near her mother could only hope that she doesn't request anyt—

"Please make me your maid too!!!"

'Why? Why, mother!??'

Ash was also confused. He turned towards his new maid and asked,

"Hey, Grafiya, I knew you had a maid fetish, but I never expected it to be inherent...?"

Grafiya who heard him could only blush and lower her head in shame.

'He knows about it!? From when!? Ah, he is a powerful being, so that is possible...'

Grafiya's mother nodded sagely and said,

"That's right~! Grafiya got her fetish from me~! So, so? Will also accept me? Please!? I'll even ser—"

"Okay, okay. You can be a maid. But don't worry about anything else."

"Yay~!"

She seems to be a free spirit unlike the likes of noble devils from the underworld and the always perfect Grafiya. She who was recovered from her embarassment, but still having a small blush bonked her mother's head.

"Stop acting like that, Mother. From now on, you are a maid serving, Master. So you need to act like one! First introduce yourself!"

"Owie! Okay...!"

She screamed back at her daughter and coughed to make a new impression. Then she pinched the hem of her long skirt and bowed while saying,

"Pleased to meet you, Master and the others. My name is Giselle Lucifuge, Grafiya-chan's mother. I'll be in your care~"

Everyone nodded and introduced themselves. And the same thing happened like her daughter when she asked why her master was wearing a mask. He removed his Mask and made her faint on spot, making him chuckle at her. He instantly healed her.

*Gasp*

"Grafiya-chan! I saw a dream! I've seen a god!! He was the most handsome man I've ever seen!! To think I will see someone like him even though it is only in a dream... Maybe he is real?"

Then Grafiya pinched her and pointed at Ash who was smiling at Giselle. The woman in question turned her head with a confused look, but seeing him, she fainted again, but this time, he didn't heal her.

...

A week later, when the others returned, Flare almost danced around seeing two of the three new faces which confused the others. Although he have told them about multiverse and other world's existence, they never knew about their world being a entertainment show in Ash's old world.

...

Two weeks Later...

"Here, say ahhh.."

Ash and Grafiya could only smile wryly at Giselle who was pointing a spoon of dessert towards his mouth. This started after her awakening. After she was awake, she once again got explanation from her daughter and immediately went to apologize to her new master. Needless to say, he didn't think much of it, but when he said it was cute, she began to squeal in delight for the dismay of the silver haired maid. She clawed her mother by her head and pulled her along after apologizing to Ash that day.

He shook his head with smile and opened his mouth to eat it. Though he wasn't intending to save her mother too, since this is what Julene decided, he didn't say anything against it. Besides, Giselle's company was often appreciated by others too.

For some reason, She and Scathach was both a team. Maybe because they both are on the old and mature side?

"Did you think of something bad now~ Master?"

Ash was once again amazed at instincts of these ladies. He denied her claim and opened his mouth for another spoonful of dessert.

Grafiya who was holding a glass of juice felt her brows twitching at her mother's actions. But she could only sigh.

"By the way, master? Are you sure we don't need to go with them?"

Grafiya asked. Giselle already said her desire of not wanting to get stronger or do anything other than serving him. So, it was only about Grafiya and Scathach. Although Scathach can go inside the dungeon, he didn't want her to go as she was a high level divine spirit level body, but with low soul level. In other words, her body was strong as a high level god, but her soul wasn't. It was because of the training she went through in the past. He was planning to help her get stronger again, but that would be after the others leave again.

"Yeah. You are already strong. If I were to say, you will be near Level 8 or 9. Besides, there are not many who can defeat you here in this world. Or rather, your only job is to serve me. There's no need to train, at least for now. If you do want to get stronger, you will in the future."

Grafiya nodded and continued to watch the brutal training.

...

"Here you go, Tatsuya-sama..."

Miyuki who had become accustomed to be calling him by his name gave him a bottle of cold water to drink. Tatsuya showed a grateful smile with his sweat filled face.

Raven who was painting while sitting on the ground said,

"I never thought there would such powerful people existed if I don't include Ash-sama. I'm sure if it's her, even if everyone from Navy or even world goverment to act against her, they will lose easily..."

Walking towards them, Ash said,

"No matter who she is against, even if it is a enemy stronger than her, she will have more than 30% chance of victory. Not because of her strength, but the experience she earned. The instincts and mind of a warrior is what she have. Most of them wouldn't have a chance to try again. But she stored her experience and trained non-stop. Do you know what she was called back in her world?"

Everyone shook their heads except Flare.

"She is a god slayer. When she was not a god herself, she killed many gods... That is Scathach... It is impossible to win against her unless you are an anomaly, like me for example or a higher dimensional being..."

Everyone gulped. While Scathach had a amused smile as she never expected someone to speak about her. But she was fine with it. It was her past life. She was now new.

"That's enough training for today!"

She said before going towards him. Surprising him and the others, she let herself fall towards him believing he will catch her. And he did. She hugged him and said,

"Let me stay like this for a while."

He nodded and teleported out together with her from everyone's eyes. They sighed and chuckled..

"Did you see that look? She was so brutal to us a few seconds ago, but now she was like a cat meeting her master after a long time...hahahaha... Ouch! I wanna have a bath already..!"

Orna said while wincing in pain. Ash had made the women's and men's bath to have healing powers.

"I wanna sleep..."

Flare muttered with a small smile..
