"Even so, I'm really thankful for all of your help."
Lawrend insisted.
"Sigh."
Olgar sighed, realizing that Lawrend would not budge.
"Young Master, you hadn't seen Elena ever since she got her maid uniform. Would you like to see her now?"
Aleshia suddenly said from the side.
"Now that you mention it. I hadn't seen her. Where is she?"
Lawrend was reminded that he never saw Elena ever since Aleshia took her from him.
"Elena, you can come out now."
Aleshia spoke towards the left turn in the hallway. Elena's head popped out, and she looked towards Lawrend with an embarrassed red face.
"Elena?"
Lawrend called her name.
"Buzu."
Elena replied.
"Elena, don't worry. The Young Master loves maids."
Aleshia reassured Elena after realizing that she was not gonna show herself at this rate.
"Buzu!"
Elena hopped out and showed herself in front of Lawrend after hearing Aleshia's words. She twirled around and showed herself wearing a frilly maid uniform.
She wore modest white stockings on her legs while she wore a skirt that reached to her knees. There was also a mobcap on her head. All in all, she looks very cute!
"It suits you, Elena."
Lawrend said to her with a smile.
"Thank you, Master-buzu!"
Elena replied with a cute smile as she bowed to him.
"Who is this little girl?"
Olgar asked Lawrend curiously.
"How do I explain it..? She's my pet, I guess?"
Lawrend tried his best to explain it to Olgar with an awkward smile on his face.
"P-Pet!?"
Aleshia reacted in shock. She looked at Lawrend like she was looking at a monster.
"W-What? She isn't?"
Lawrend responded to her with a stutter.
"..."
Olgar looked at Lawrend with a deadpan expression. He didn't know this talent is such an eccentric. He even has a little girl as his pet.
"She's not your pet, Young Master! She's your maid. Remember that!"
Aleshia admonished him with a pout.
"Y-Yes…"
Lawrend nodded his head with a wry smile on his face.
"Buzu, buzu! I'm Master's pet!"
Elena replied excitedly. She was her Master's pet! Lawrend saying that made her happy.
"See?"
Lawrend said to Aleshia.
"No, no, no! Little Elena is not your pet! What would you do if she grows big thinking of that?"
Aleshia denied Lawrend. She was not gonna let him lead Elena astray.
"That's true… Then, she's my little obedient maid."
Lawrend quickly realized what she meant. It would be bad if she thought that she was just 'his' pet. After all, she still deserves free will.
"Maid-buzu!"
Elena responded jovially.
"Mm. That's right. Elena is my little maid."
Lawrend patted her head with a smile.
"...uh… What's going on?"
Olgar tapped Aleshia's shoulders and asked her with his eyes blinking repeatedly.
"M-Mr. Olgar. You see, Elena is…"
And so, Aleshia explained to Olgar the origin of Elena.
"She's a slime you say!?"
Olgar responded to her in shock and disbelief. He looked at Elena again, but he didn't see an image of a slime from her.
"Elena, show them."
Instead of answering his question, Aleshia turned to Elena and ordered her.
"Yes, Big Sister Aleshia-buzu!"
Elena nodded her head. She extended her arm forward, and her forearm turned transparent before turning into a purple slime tentacle.
"It's true!"
Olgar looked at Elena's slime tentacle in shock.
"Woah!"
Even Lawrend didn't expect that she could transform her body freely. He thought that she was permanently in a human form.
"Buzu!"
Elena cried and sparks of lightning flowed around her slime tentacle.
"Where did you find her? ...wait, she couldn't be 'that' slime from before!?"
Olgar asked, but he quickly realized something. He remembered seeing Lawrend carrying around a purple slime around with him. That slime's color was similar to the color of Elena's slime tentacle.
"I also found it hard to believe that she turned into a little girl."
Lawrend nodded his head and replied to Olgar. He could still remember looking at her in shock when she suddenly transformed into a little girl.
"Unbelievable. I have never heard of a slime taking on a human form."
Olgar still had disbelief on his face. It was hard for him to process that something like this could happen.
"Anyways, do you know Cherry Zola?"
Lawrend suddenly asked Olgar.
"Where did you hear that name?"
Olgar's mood suddenly changed. He looked at Lawrend coldly, and his eyes peered at him seriously.
"She attended my birthday 5 days ago."
Lawrend explained to him.
"She did?"
Olgar looked at Lawrend with surprise.
"She told me to tell you that she was not done with you."
Lawrend said to him.
"Sigh. I thought I could avoid her, but it seems that information still got to her that I'm here."
Olgar sighed bleakly.
"What happened between you anyway?"
Lawrend couldn't help but ask in curiosity. After all, Cherry was so aggressive when talking about him.
"It's a long story. If you had told me earlier, I would have visited her, but we need to leave now."
Olgar replied to him.
"Then, shall we get going?"
Lawrend said to him with a smile. It seems like he was right not to tell him immediately about Cherry.
"Yes. We should."
Olgar nodded his head. Thus, they walked to Ella's room. She was the only one they need before they get going.
"Is that girl awake?"
Olgar asked curiously. He had been in his room for the whole 7 days. He was basically clueless about what happened while he was here.
"Yes. She's already doing well."
Aleshia replied to him with a happy smile on her face. She was glad that Ella woke up already.
Without realizing it, they had already arrived in front of Ella's room.
"Ella? Are you ready?"
Aleshia knocked on the door.
"Yes, Big Sister!"
Ella opened the door and greeted them with a smile.
"Let's go."
Ella walked out wearing her maid uniform. She had already regained her energy, unlike several days ago.
"Yes!"
Ella nodded her head excitedly. She walked towards them and held Elena's hand.
"Sister Elena, let's go!"
Ella said to her with a smile.
"Buzu!"
Elena replied with her own smile.
