I don't want to be a dragon maid!

“Those are the rules for nobles. I am just a poor student and I don’t need to follow them.”

Shelley and Noah exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away. She pouted and said...

"This is the master's order. Are you going to disobey it?"

"Since it's the master's order, there's nothing we can do about it."

Noah nodded at him, and she sat back down in her chair, imitating Shelley, picking up a piece of toast and eating it.

Just as Noah was enjoying breakfast, she noticed a strange look in her direction.

Noah looked up and saw Shelley. As soon as their eyes met, Shelley quickly looked down, pretending to be eating a salad.

"Lord Shelley, is there anything I can help you with?"

Noah asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just have a strange feeling."

Shelley lowered her head very low and spoke softly.

"This is the first time I've ever had breakfast like this with other people..."

Chapter Six: The Cat and the Bloodclaw Society

Breakfast ended in this harmonious atmosphere.

However, perhaps due to physical reasons, it seemed to make no difference to Noah whether he ate breakfast or not.

Anyway, her stomach was like a bottomless black hole; no matter how much food she ate, it never changed at all.

After Shelley finished her breakfast, she did not leave, but got up and helped Noah clear the plates.

"Lady Shelley, leave these to me. You can go do your own thing."

As Noah watched Shelley approach, she immediately smiled and said...

"I'm not being polite with you. Two people can wash the dishes faster. I have something to do later and I need you to come with me."

Shelley said expressionlessly as she tossed the plate into the barrel.

"Moreover, this is the very reason I summoned you, so don't run away at the last minute."

"Lady Shelley, is this mission very dangerous?"

Noah's eyes lit up slightly; this seemingly dangerous mission piqued her curiosity.

"Yes, I'll just tell you straight! This mission is life-threatening, so you need to be mentally prepared!"

Shelley put a favorite plate back in the cupboard, glanced at Noah, and said with a serious expression.

Even if I said that, would you still agree?

Noah was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Shelley was the legendary great magician and was about to take him on an adventure?

Is it to challenge a dragon? Or to overthrow a dynasty? Or perhaps to hunt down the rookie killer goblins?

The passionate spirit hidden deep within Noah's heart slowly ignited, and she clenched her fist and nodded vigorously.

Noah would never betray the trust that was like having someone entrust their back to him, whether they were maids or not!

Half an hour later. On the street.

"Hmm... don't rub against me, and don't lick my hand. That was the last one I threw out..."

Noah looked at the scene before her, her smile stiff, and her eyes twitching slightly.

Shelley was standing on the side of the road, with a pile of round balls of yarn at her feet...

To be precise, it was a group of adorable cats rubbing against Shelley's legs, meowing incessantly, their bright eyes filled with longing.

Shelley, on the other hand, was holding an empty bag in her left hand and a small dried fish in her right. She looked helpless and looked at Noah with a pleading expression.

Noah forcibly suppressed the urge to complain. Watching Shelley cautiously pass through this street all the way, she had thought Shelley was hiding from some assassin.

The result was a group of cats, and judging from Shelley's appearance, she was a seasoned cat lover. She probably got used to feeding these cats and most likely didn't know how to refuse them.

"Noah, you have to think of something!"

"Lord Shelley, is this what you meant by something that could be life-threatening?"

Noah gave an awkward but polite smile and said...

"Isn't that right? I really feel like I'm going to die, imprisoned here by these terrible demons, starved to death! Preventing me from working! Starving to death!"

Shelley looked at Noah with teary eyes, her gaze pleading.

"If you don't come up with a solution, I really won't be able to go home today. I still have to work..."

Noah sighed, walked up to Shelley, grabbed her collar, and a cloud of dust billowed up, leaving the cats standing there dumbfounded.

Where did my huge Shelley go?

"I'm saved... My heart is beating so fast."

Shelley was panting heavily, her chest heaving.

"Noah, you run so fast! Have you ever trained to run?"

"Isn't it normal for a maid to be a running champion?"

Noah said calmly.

"I don't recall the maid having that ability?"

Shelley couldn't help but mutter a complaint, glancing at the sun in the sky with a hint of panic in her eyes.

"Oh no, the sun is almost overhead! We need to hurry, or we might not make it in time."

"Lord Shelley, where are we going?"

Seeing Shelley like this, Noah couldn't help but ask a question.

"I'm going to work... but I might encounter something life-threatening."

Shelley looked up at Noah with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

"To be honest, that's why I tried to summon spirit beasts, because I simply can't handle them all by myself."

Noah looked embarrassed, scratched her cheek, and slowly said...

"Lady Shelley, are you referring to another group of cats as a danger? But we're out of dried fish, and I don't really like cats..."

"Fool! Those round spirits are terrifying beings, but we're about to encounter someone who could potentially take our lives."

Shelley looked around cautiously, her pale blue eyes filled with wariness and fear.

"The Blood Claw Society is an organization active in the suburbs of Snow Eagle City. They are a group of thugs composed of unemployed people who extort money from the poor."

"A thug? Master Shelley, please forgive my bluntness, but that doesn't sound so scary, does it?"

Noah frowned slightly as she spoke.

"If they were just ordinary thugs, I could handle them, but recently they suddenly acquired blood artifacts with magical power, which greatly increased their strength. I am no match for them at all, and I almost got robbed several times."

Shelley leaned against the wall. She watched the passing crowds, her unease growing more pronounced.

"That's why I was thinking of using a summoning circle to summon a spirit beast to find a helper, but instead a strange maid was teleported to me."

"I see. So all we need to do is deal with those thugs? Leave it to me!"

The strange maid nodded and said confidently.

"Don't be too confident. Nine times out of ten, these thugs have sided with the dark races. Underestimating them will lead to serious consequences, not to mention..."

Shelley looked up at Noah and said with a worried expression.

"You're just a maid. I know you have powerful magic and are good at housework, but none of that matters in combat..."

Noah didn't speak, but instead stretched out her palm, and a ball of flame appeared in her hand.

"Is that a Fireball spell?"

Shelley was slightly startled, and she said softly.

In the blink of an eye, the flames transformed into swords, then into running bulls, and finally into dancing fire butterflies that fluttered around Shelley.

The flame shifted and changed like magic, and Shelley's expression changed from surprise to astonishment.

The fact that Noah can control the fire element so well is enough to show how powerful he is.

What kind of monster did I summon?

This was Shelley's current thought. She looked at Noah in front of her, unsure of what to say.

The fireball in Noah's hand dissipated, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her face.

"It's quite normal for a maid to have combat talent."

Chapter Seven Shelley's Dream

"Noah, who exactly are you?"

Shelley looked at Noah intently and asked the same question again.

"Who am I? Well then, Lord Shelley, now that things have come to this, I'll tell you the truth!"

Noah tilted her head slightly, and she also put on a very serious expression, speaking earnestly.

"Actually, I'm a man from another world. I transmigrated here because I wanted to live a perfect life of being a kept man. When I made a wish to the goddess, that bastard goddess misunderstood me and turned me into this strange guy who has both the dignity of a maid and the shame of a man!"

"Noah, be serious, I'm not joking with you yet."

Shelley frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Fine, if you think it's a joke, then it's a joke. Anyway, I've said what I needed to say."

Noah shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness.

"However, Lady Shelley, it's a problem that you don't trust me. What can we do to improve our relationship... Hmm, I have an idea!"

"What's your plan?"

When Shelley saw Noah's wicked smile, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
