I don't want to be a dragon maid!

"Lord Shelley!"

Noah's expression changed drastically, but Shelley immediately steadied herself against a nearby tree, breathing softly as she spoke.

"Noah, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy..."

Noah frowned, stepped forward and took Shelley's arm. The moment they touched, she knew the reason.

During Noah's time with dietary therapy, Shelley's physical condition had clearly improved considerably.

However, compared to a normal person, her health was still too poor. This time, she had just recovered from a cold and released multiple spells in one go.

If it weren't for the Snake Heart Bracelet and Snake Heart Eye having done their best to compensate for her missing demonic energy, she probably would have fainted on the spot.

During the battle, my body was still in a state of heightened excitement. Now that I've calmed down, the side effects of my depleted magic power are starting to manifest themselves at a greater pace, especially given my already poor physical condition.

"Haa, haa..."

Shelley's breathing grew more and more labored, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her forehead, and her face turned as white as paper.

Looking at Shelley like this, Noah felt a pang of self-reproach. If he had known this would happen, he should have stopped Shelley in the first place. As a maid, he had truly failed in his duty!

"Lord Shelley, you cannot move now; you need to rest!"

Noah stepped forward to help Shelley, and she slowly helped him to the base of a large tree, saying anxiously.

"Damn it, have I caused you any trouble?"

Shelley looked at Noah and said with a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too weak..."

"Lord Shelley, what is there to apologize for between us? In fact, it is I who should apologize!"

Noah touched Shelley's forehead and said with a look of self-reproach.

"It's my fault for not taking good care of you, Lady Shelley!"

Noah felt her body temperature rising again, so he took out a handkerchief from his bundle, cooled it with ice, and gently placed it on Shelley's forehead.

"Why do I have such a useless body? I've seen other magicians cast spells without this problem... cough cough cough!"

Shelley clenched her fists weakly and said with a wronged expression.

"Don't worry, Lady Shelley, I will help you recover slowly. You will soon be like a normal magician again."

Noah said gently.

"Really?"

Shelley looked at Noah, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"real!"

Noah nodded in response.

"I believe you, cough cough cough!"

Shelley also showed a gentle expression, but she only said one more word before she started coughing again.

"In any case, Lady Shelley, why don't you drink the herbal tea first? It will make you feel a little better..."

Noah took out a water jug ​​from his bundle, and Shelley immediately took it and drank it down in large gulps. Her pale face regained some color this time.

"Once Lady Shelley has rested, I will take you away from here..."

Noah had barely uttered those words when she noticed a large, dense patch of dark clouds had appeared above their heads.

"No way?"

Noah had barely finished speaking when the rain suddenly began to fall, and for a moment everything she could see was covered in white, obscuring the view she had just seen.

Noah was speechless, Shelley was stunned, and she looked at the heavy rain and couldn't help but say something.

"This rain came so suddenly, it feels like someone's controlling it..."

Yes, it's like someone is controlling it!

Noah's face darkened as she reached out into the rain, large drops of water pelting down on her.

Shelley might not have realized it, but Noah certainly did.

The rainwater possesses a great deal of magic and holy energy.

This heavy rain was manipulated!

Chapter Forty-Eight: What's Underneath the Maid's Skirt?

Although it was man-made, Noah believed that the heavy rain was not directed at them.

After all, the rainwater carried magic and holy energy, clearly the advanced magic circle, Mother's Tears, which was designed to target dark creatures. It had no effect on Noah of the dragon race or Shelley of the human race.

However, this is not good news either, as it indicates that there is a battle going on nearby, possibly between priests or paladins imbued with holy energy and dark creatures.

Noah was speechless. All she wanted was to rest and snuggle up with Lady Shelley!

Why do I keep running into these kinds of things as soon as I go out?

"Noah, you don't look well?"

Shelley asked cautiously.

"Lord Shelley, I'm fine. You should continue to rest!"

Noah's expression changed quickly, transforming into that of a gentle maid in the blink of an eye.

She didn't want to worry the frail Lady Shelley; it was better for her to face such a dangerous situation alone.

Although he didn't want to get involved in strange things, if any fools dared to provoke him, Noah wouldn't mind letting them experience what a maid's wrath was like!

After all, everyone's potential is different. An angry Noah might do things that are different from ordinary people, such as turning some despicable guy into a bar of soap that can never be picked up again...

"Ah."

Shelley still looked worried, but she obediently closed her eyes, leaned against the tree, and began to rest.

But this damned rainy day, when the rain got heavy, the wind came along with it, and it just kept blowing against Shelley's face.

Although Shelley remained silent, her slightly trembling body betrayed her thoughts.

Noah looked at Shelley, who was freezing, and his face became unusually serious. He slowly got up and walked to Shelley.

"Lady Shelley, you look very cold..."

"It's a bit cold, but I can handle it... Noah, what are you trying to do?"

Shelley slowly opened her eyes, looked at Noah, and was immediately stunned.

Noah reached under his skirt and slowly pulled it up...

Could it be that she's going to take off her maid outfit and cover herself up? No, how could that be? How could this perverted maid do something so normal!

Could it be that this guy wants to strip naked and then use that warm skin to keep himself warm? Yes, that's exactly the behavior of Noah's perverted maid!

I don't dislike Noah, but isn't it too audacious to do this in public? Even if I'm going to do something like this, I should at least do it properly back home!

After a brainstorming session, Shelley guessed Noah's thoughts, which made her even more panicked.

"Wait a minute, Noah, I don't actually feel cold. You don't need to take off your clothes. I can't accept that kind of thing either..."

Shelley waved her hands repeatedly, looking flustered.

"Take off your clothes? That kind of thing? Wait a minute, Lord Shelley, you must have misunderstood something. I didn't mean to take off my clothes..."

Noah tilted her head and looked at Shelley with a strange expression.

"Didn't you want to take off your clothes?"

Shelley said with a look of astonishment.

"Of course not, even I have a sense of shame... Wait, Lady Shelley, are you thinking of something lewd?"

Noah looked at Shelley's expression and asked with a serious face.

"No...no? I'm not like you, I don't have any lewd thoughts..."

Shelley looked away guiltily, feeling as if Noah had seen right through her.

Noah stared at Shelley's face for a long while, until she suddenly realized something, clutched her chest, and said, blushing.

"I would never take off my clothes in broad daylight and use my body to warm Lord Shelley! Lord Shelley is such a lecher!"

How did you know what I was thinking... ugh!!!

Shelley was so shocked that she blurted out what was on her mind. Although she immediately covered her mouth, half of what she was thinking was still out.

"As expected! Lord Shelley is a lecherous old man, actually thinking about such things! Lecher! Lecher! Old lecher!"

Noah spoke angrily, but his pale golden eyes shone with excitement.

"However, even the lecherous Shelley is my favorite. If you really wish to be intimate with me, it's not impossible. There's a nice cave over there, Shelley, we can go there..."

"Get out! You perverted maid, how dare you call me an old lecher!"

Shelley said angrily.

"Alright, what are you trying to do? Making that gesture of taking off your skirt..."

"Ah, actually I don't need to take off my skirt, I need to get some tools."

Noah gave a mysterious smile and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"tool?"

Shelley looked puzzled, and was about to ask something else.

With a clang, a saw fell from under Noah's skirt.

Shelley was silent for a moment, then pointed to the saw and said...

What is this thing?

"Oh, I'm a maid who knows how to do handicrafts, so this saw is for sawing wood, which makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Noah picked up the saw and said calmly.

"???"
