I don't want to be a dragon maid!

There was only a little bit of noodles, eggs, snake meat, and a few apples left in the kitchen, so Noah simply made a meat sauce pasta and apple puree, and then covered the meat sauce pasta with a large bowl imbued with fire element to keep it warm.

After tidying up the room, Noah's work as a maid was finally over.

It's so comfortable this way!

Noah looked around the tidy room, and the awkward feeling in his heart slowly disappeared.

A harem and regaining male chastity are too early for me. Being a maid is pretty good for now...

Noah suddenly had this thought, and she couldn't suppress it even if she wanted to.

Moreover, after thinking it over, Noah still couldn't bear to part with Shelley, especially since Shelley was in such a weak and sickly state. It was as if she had been given a buff, which greatly increased his desire to protect her!

Compared to the illusory harem, the beautiful girl in front of me is much more captivating.

However, since he couldn't leave Shelley's side, Noah had to think of other solutions...

For example, the magic academy in Snow Eagle City might have magicians who study evil magic.

However, the prerequisite is to infiltrate the magic academy...

Thinking of this, Noah turned her gaze to the sleeping Shelley.

As expected, everything still depends on Lord Shelley!

If Shelley could get into the magic academy, then it would be a piece of cake for me to sneak into the magic academy myself.

However, the problem now is the maid's assimilation ability... This is giving Noah a real headache, because no matter what, she doesn't want to become a maid completely!

Dating a beautiful girl is one thing, but becoming a beautiful girl and dating another beautiful girl is quite another.

Noah still wanted to choose the former, but there was no other way now, so she had to tough it out on her own.

In short, we must take things one step at a time, and the problem will eventually be solved!

Noah comforted herself with this thought, now she needed to find a way to solve a small problem.

Noah picked up a glass bottle and shook it a few times. Amidst the clinking and clattering sounds, only about twenty copper coins remained inside...

This money is only enough to get me through today. If it's tomorrow, then Lord Shelley will probably go hungry...

Annoying! Very annoying. Their income and expenses had been very stable until Shelley's serious illness wiped out most of their savings.

Noah sighed; she had to find a way to make money.

One

Chapter Thirty-Three: Annie's Apology

Noah wasn't worried at all about whether he could make money in the other world.

For a dragon maid like her, it was as easy as picking up money on the street.

Even without using the maid's abilities, as a dragon who can control the elements, she can already do a lot of things.

For example, going to the city center to pick up a bounty mission is a necessary trope in isekai anime!

Noah felt much better when he thought about this. It really is nice to have a cheat system!

Let's set a small goal first: earn ten gold coins in a day, and then buy a gift for Lord Shelley!

Hopefully, Shelley will be happier when he wakes up.

Noah clenched her fists, her eyes shining. After leaving a message and a protective magic circle for Shelley, she excitedly went out the door.

Snow Eagle City, city center, Braves' Guild.

"What you're saying is that you can't accept a mission without two badges?"

Noah said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, miss, you need two badges to receive the mission."

The black-haired woman said with a troubled expression.

"One is the regimental badge, and the other is the professional badge. Both are indispensable; otherwise, we would not dare to entrust the mission to you."

"Hey! Miss, how do I get these Legion Badges and Class Badges?"

Noah was stunned and quickly asked.

"The Legion Badge is something you can only obtain by joining a Legion. Legions are divided into official Legions and private Legions, but regardless of the Legion, you can get the badge as long as you join one!"

The young lady explained very patiently.

"As for the profession badge, you have to go through a profession certification process to receive it from the corresponding association. For example, you can get the mage badge as long as you pass the mage test!"

"If I go get it done now, is it too late?"

Noah said anxiously.

"I'm really sorry, these two exams are scheduled for April and October."

The young woman continued to explain.

"How could this be..."

Noah slid off the table like a boneless creature. She had thought receiving the mission would be easy, but she never expected that this world required a series of procedures.

Noah looked at the hefty bounty lists and felt a pang of unease, as if a cat had scratched his heart.

This is as cruel as showing a huge bowl of fragrant stew to a starving person!

Noah's eyes were brimming with tears, and she tried her best to make a very cute expression as she spoke.

"Miss, can you really make an exception? I'm willing to do any task! I can even pay double the deposit, and I guarantee I'll complete the task within a day!"

"Even if you try to act cute... it won't work..."

The young woman looked at Noah's face and said with a troubled expression.

"What happened?"

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from beside Noah.

The young woman quickly stood up straight, breathed a sigh of relief, and explained.

"Vice President, this young lady..."

"Ah! Isn't this the maid from last time?"

Before the young lady could finish speaking, the owner of the voice seemed to recognize Noah.

Noah looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pink-haired beauty wearing a red robe with gold patterns standing in front of her. She was holding a thick notebook and had a surprised expression on her face.

"You are Miss Wendy..."

Noah recognized her too; the intelligent beauty before him was none other than Anne Wendy from the woods last time.

"You can just call me Annie?"

Miss Anne turned to look at the astonished young lady and asked.

"What happened?"

“Vice President, this young lady doesn’t actually have two badges, yet she wants to take on a mission…”

The young lady said.

"I see, Miss Maid. It's the rule to accept bounty missions with two badges."

Anne turned and bowed slightly to Noah, speaking with a kind expression.

"Even I wouldn't dare to break the rules, please understand."

"Oh, if it doesn't work, then I'll think of another way..."

Noah nodded, slowly backed away, and turned to walk towards the exit.

Although Wendy never showed any hostility from beginning to end, and even maintained a friendly attitude towards him throughout.

However, Alice Wendy's bold statement last time really shocked Noah, to the point that she developed a certain psychological trauma towards the two sisters.

Becoming a dragon is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime! And I would never sell myself! I can only be Shelley's maid! Just getting by!

Noah left the Hero Association and walked down the street looking dejected. She had wasted half a day. What had she been doing?

Am I going to go home empty-handed tonight, leaving my master hungry tomorrow? How utterly pathetic of me as a maid!

Noah! Think quickly! If you were a dragon maid, what would you be capable of in half a day?

Just as Noah was brainstorming, trying to solve the problem of tomorrow's breakfast, a pair of hands patted her on the back.

"who!"

Noah, on high alert, instantly retreated, instinctively adopting an attack stance.

However, the person standing before her was none other than Anne Wendy, who always wore a gentle smile.

"Miss Anne...? Are you following behind me?"

Noah felt a chill run down her spine, and her tone carried a hint of hostility.

"Miss Maid, you forgot some things, so I brought them for you."

Anne held out her palm, revealing nine copper coins, and said with a smile.

"This is my deposit fee, oh, I forgot to get it back!"

Noah shuddered, and said with a hint of lingering fear.

"I almost ran out of money for dinner..."

"Miss Maid, you look like you're short of money!"

Anne looked at Noah and asked softly.

"Did something bad happen?"

"No, nothing at all! Miss Anne, is there anything else?"

Noah shook her head repeatedly. Looking at Anne, who was squinting in front of her, she had no idea what the saying "squinty-eyed people are all monsters" was.

"Actually, there's something I want to say to the maid..."

Anne bowed slightly and said softly.
