"Ah~ um~!"
Lia stretched and yawned.
I slowly walked out of the bedroom, my body still groggy.
As soon as I opened the door, before I could even open my eyes properly, I saw a white figure float past in front of me.
Liya: "?"
Her drowsy state vanished, and she looked out with some confusion in the direction the figure had left.
The moment Liya saw the figure clearly, she froze on the spot.
It was a girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit.
Has their family ever employed minors?
Following the direction of the clothes, Lia fixed her gaze on the girl's lower body.
There, a...
A white tail!?
Lia was completely stunned. She frowned, utterly perplexed.
When did we get a demi-human maid in our house?
etc!
It seems she did bring back a catgirl yesterday.
Even the cat-woman maid in front of me has the same fur color as the one I brought back yesterday.
She was about to call out to the cat-woman maid in front of her when a gentle voice beat her to it.
Good morning, Miss Lia.
As if sensing Lia's presence beforehand, she turned around, looked at Lia, and bowed very respectfully.
"...?"
This time, Lia was completely dizzy.
She covered her head, her mind filled with countless questions, and for a moment, she didn't know how to think.
"You...can talk?"
Oh no, demi-humans can talk anyway.
We should ask her how she learned human language.
It rose sharply.
Lia's mind was still a little hazy. She had dealt with demi-humans for about ten years and understood their innate wildness better than anyone else.
Living in the wild, they are difficult to tame.
So apart from Helnason, who stayed at the old house as a butler due to his long lifespan.
No demi-human could become a maid.
Their personalities make them fundamentally unsuitable for serving others.
In a daze, Lia heard the catgirl in front of her speak.
That soft, gentle voice drifted over, bringing Liya an immense sense of healing.
"You may call me by my name, Vanilla."
"This is the name my master gave me."
Vanilla? Master?
A sudden inspiration struck her, and Leah instantly thought of Victor.
He's really good at this... no, how exactly does he do it?
Lia looked completely bewildered and waved to the catgirl maid.
"Come here for a second, Vanilla."
"Yes, Miss Lia."
Vanilla moved closer to Lia.
Lia looked down at her.
Cat-people are generally short in stature, especially female cat-people, who appear even smaller.
The white-haired girl in front of her only reached up to Lia's chest.
"Incredible..."
Lia's shocked voice slowly rang out.
She still remembers how tiring it was to educate those demi-humans.
It took her nearly two years just to teach them to read and speak normally.
Not to mention other knowledge.
She only tentatively brought the catgirl into Victor's bedroom.
It only took one night.
The other person can not only fully understand human language, but can even politely introduce themselves.
Demi-humans have never known what politeness is.
Even Lia's subordinates only treated her with respect.
Lia observed carefully and found that the catgirl's words and actions were exactly like those of a normal human maid.
"Magic, it's truly amazing..."
She could only attribute it all to the magic.
It can only be said that Vanilla's performance has exceeded her expectations.
So, with some anticipation, she asked about the thing that interested her most at the moment:
"Can you use magic now?"
"It's like, 'BANG!' and a huge fireball is blasted out..."
Vanilla simply raised her obedient face and smiled as she watched Leah's animated performance.
It wasn't until Lia herself felt somewhat embarrassed that Vanilla lowered her head and respectfully said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Lia, I'm trying to study hard."
"My master told me that becoming a mage is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires talent, but even more so, it requires constant effort."
"Uh... ah, okay, you're right."
Lia never imagined that one day she would be taught a lesson by a demi-human.
She was a cat-person girl who was much younger than her in both age and size.
She was indeed too hasty.
The idea of having a mage among the demi-humans in her family was originally a sudden, whimsical thought of Lia's.
Even if Viktor fails, she won't say anything.
Suddenly, two soft little hands took hers.
Lia was a little stunned, but the next second, Vanilla took her hand and placed it on her soft face.
A soft sensation came from her palm and spread into Lia's heart.
Are all cat people's faces this soft?
Vanilla rubbed her soft cheek against Leah for a while before letting go of Leah's hand.
"Please don't mind, Miss Lia."
“The master said that this behavior can make unhappy people happy again. I felt that you were not in a good mood, so I took it upon myself to do it.”
"Oh, thank you."
