"Uh......"

Li Chaoge was stunned when he saw Izayoi Sakuya looking calm and as if nothing had happened. If it weren't for his current strength, which made it impossible for him to be hard of hearing at such close range, he would have doubted whether he had just misheard.

Is this really Sakuya Izayoi's personality? She actually uttered such astonishing words without batting an eye.

Because he was only attracted to the fandom by many fan-made settings, he didn't play many bullet hell games. Moreover, too much time had passed, and he couldn't remember the specific settings of Izayoi Sakuya anymore. He only solidified the cool image of Izayoi Sakuya throwing knives with style in various short videos and erotic pictures.

However, regardless of whether Izayoi Sakuya said she was under her or Remilia was under her, admitting that he was her master would not be a joke.

"In short, welcome, Sakuya."

Li Chaoge pondered for a moment, then looked at Izayoi Sakuya, who left him somewhat speechless, and reached out to hug her as well.

Since Izayoi Sakuya has acknowledged him as her master, there's no way to show favoritism; giving her a warm welcome hug is what he should do.

Sakuya Izayoi watched as Li Chaoge slowly approached her, until he gently embraced her. Her calm expression faltered slightly. When Li Chaoge released her, the braid beside her delicate earlobe swayed gently, and a barely perceptible smile curved her lips as she slowly spoke:

"Master, it's not evening yet, please control your desires a little."

"Ahem, it was just a hug, nothing more."

Li Chaoge explained helplessly, "It feels like I summoned Sheffield, the sharp-tongued maid from Azur Lane, instead of Izayoi Sakuya."

"This is Belfast, and this is G36. You two can chat for a bit while I prepare to summon the others."

Ignoring Izayoi Sakuya's gaze, Li Chaoge introduced Belfast and G36 to her, then touched Kiana's luck. Amidst her coquettish voice, he returned to his previous position to summon the third maid.

After successfully summoning Izayoi Sakuya, who possesses the ability to time, Li Chaoge initially intended to summon the remaining two maids at once, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Previously, he had become complacent and lost his humility due to the sudden changes in his life, and had not considered the feelings of the people he was summoned to. Now, after cultivating his mind and character in the consciousness space, his restless heart has calmed down, and he will continue to treat every girl who comes to his side with respect.

Chapter 209. The Improper Maid, Alicia

Before the newcomers arrived, Izayoi Sakuya slowly walked to Belfast and G36.

Of the three people present, only the two of them were dressed as maids. Even if Li Chaoge didn't introduce them, she knew she should ask these two colleagues for information.

"Did you have fun teasing your owner just now?"

As soon as she stood still, before Izayoi Sakuya could even speak, she heard Belfast, who was standing in the middle, say something in a low voice.

Sakuya Izayoi glanced to the side and saw Belfast staring straight at Li Chaoge with a faint smile on his face.

Turning her gaze away, Sakuya Izayoi straightened her posture and looked straight ahead, replying with her lips slightly parted, "Not bad, you can come with me next time."

Standing on the other side of Belfast, G36 couldn't help but look at Belfast and Izayoi Sakuya. What were these two talking about? Was Izayoi Sakuya deliberately flirting with the Commander in public just now?

As if hearing G36's thoughts, Belfast gently explained to her the origin of Izayoi Sakuya.

“G36, this newcomer, Izayoi Sakuya, is from a place with many yokai. Although she seems aloof, she is actually not difficult to get along with.”

"Don't be fooled by her seemingly ordinary human appearance. In reality, she possesses the ability to control time, either by stopping time so that only she can act, slowing down the flow of time to move at supersonic speeds, or by accelerating the flow of time to brew wine."

Because she arrived here first, she had gathered a lot of information and knew more than G36, who had just arrived. Since they would have to get to know each other eventually, she didn't mind giving a brief introduction on the spot.

"To correct you, my ability is essentially supersonic movement; I can't stop other people's time."

Sakuya Izayoi explained.

"Although she usually uses this ability to do housework, I wonder if it's because the human body can't handle too much intense fighting."

Belfast glanced at Izayoi Sakuya, ignored her correction, and continued.

"Speaking of housework, I'm a little curious whether things will get chaotic with so many people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion because of your departure."

Normally, a faction would not be seriously affected by the departure of a maid.

In Azur Lane's Royal Navy, there are many maids in the Royal Maid Squad. When she is not there, the former head maid will take over the work, and the maid squad will just be a little slower.

G36 goes without saying; maids aren't essential to them. Tactical dolls leaving for a short while are considered to be going on a mission, so it has no impact whatsoever.

However, Sakuya Izayoi is different; she has a whole bunch of people to take care of at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Although the Scarlet Devil Mansion has a bunch of fairy maids, it's already quite good that those fairies can prepare their own food, wash their own clothes, and not cause any trouble.

In the vast Scarlet Devil Mansion, only the head maid, Sakuya Izayoi, is capable of doing the work. She cleans the labyrinthine Scarlet Devil Mansion, takes care of the capricious young lady, manages the useless fairy maids, goes to the nearby villages to buy things, and prepares incredibly luxurious meals.

Belfast couldn't help but think that Izayoi Sakuya's time-manipulation ability was specifically created for her to do housework; without it, one person simply couldn't do so much work.

"You don't need to worry about that."

Sakuya Izayoi said calmly that she had already considered this matter before coming here, but even though she had made arrangements, she was still a little worried. After all, the young lady hadn't changed at all over the years and was still so willful and childish.

"If you don't mind, you can call me head maid."

Belfast brought up what she had said to G36 again, but this time she was more confident than before.

"Although I have no opinion on who should be the head maid, I only obey my master's orders."

Sakuya Izayoi glanced at Belfast out of the corner of her eye. She had no desire for fame or dominance; as long as she could live a comfortable life, that was enough for her.

Although the male protagonist often says that it is precisely because she has such low demands that she has been exploited by the vampire capitalist (Miss Remilia Scarlet) 007 for so many years.

"You can ignore reasonable arrangements and unreasonable ones."

Belfast smiled in response to the same rejection.

She wasn't using the position of head maid to abuse her power for personal gain, so she naturally didn't care if they didn't listen to her.

Izayoi Sakuya remained noncommittal and didn't say anything more, but Belfast knew from Izayoi Sakuya's reaction that she had tacitly approved of her being the head maid.

Although everyone is working for their master, having a more formal title is still quite useful, as it prevents abuse of power for personal gain and at least allows one to maintain control.

G36, who had been listening quietly, showed no obvious change in expression, but sensing the undercurrent of conflict among her colleagues, she was already thinking about who to call for help.

The commander didn't tell her about the other tactical dolls. It was obvious that she was the first tactical doll to arrive here, and judging from the situation, there were many people from other worlds. She would have to find a way to get the others to come over.

Because she was the commander's maid, she often couldn't act willfully or indifferently towards other women.

Which maid will appear next?

Li Chaoge paid no attention to the situation on Izayoi Sakuya Belfast's side. Looking at the summoning halo that had been shining for a while, he couldn't help but feel even more expectant.

Izayoi Sakuya, whom I was most looking forward to, has already been summoned thanks to Kiana's good luck. So how many maids are left to summon?

There are quite a few maid characters in the game, but if we limit it to the games he's played, then it doesn't seem like that many. If we add the ones that he remembers well and knows about, then there aren't that many.

Rita from Honkai Impact 3 is one, the black and white stocking maids from Azur Lane are a pair, Noelle from Genshin Impact is another, he knows a lot about the Royal Maid Team from Azur Lane, and there's also Veronica from the Otherworld Agency.

Although this last one is relatively less popular, it left a deep impression on me because it was a game I played before the large-scale quitting of the game, and I happened to be playing the Veronica storyline at that time.

Besides, many game characters' maid attributes are mostly just a hobby, unlike these girls who have professional ethics, and he's not sure if he can summon this maid.

After all, G36 and Izayoi Sakuya who have just arrived are both superb maids with extremely high maid etiquette and strong professional ethics.

Li Chaoge felt he was ready to welcome her, no matter which maid it was.

However, as the light faded, the figure that appeared at the location of the summoning circle still stunned him.

A beautiful maid outfit accentuated her alluring curves. The lovely pink-clad girl, as beautiful as a flower, slowly opened her jewel-like blue eyes. Seeing everyone present, she smiled lightly and waved to them.

"Hi~ Are you all welcoming me? I'm so happy~"

"Kiana, are you cheating?!"

Li Chaoge couldn't help but turn around and glance at Kiana, who was staring wide-eyed. He couldn't help but be shocked. That tone of voice, that pink figure, who else could it be but Alicia!

How did summoning a maid end up summoning Alicia? Wait, no, Alicia's outfit is definitely that of a maid. It's just that in Honkai Impact 3rd, he only thought of Rita as a maid, and didn't include Alicia, who looks more like a cosplay maid.

"What cheating? You summoned it yourself, Captain, and you were the one who touched it."

Seeing Li Chaoge shift the blame to her, Kiana couldn't help but roll her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Although the purpose of summoning the maids this time was to fail, summoning Alicia was likely to only cause trouble for the maids.

But for them, this didn't use up their own summoning slots in the first place, so being able to summon one of their own was a huge win, especially since it was Alicia.

Kiana herself wasn't very familiar with Alicia, but Mei was. She also learned from some records in this world what Mei might have experienced in the Paradise of the Past.

If Alicia comes, not only will the captain be happy, but Mei will be happy too.

"Looks like my cuteness is being rejected?"

Despite not being discouraged by the lack of enthusiastic cheers from Li Chaoge and the others, Alicia maintained her sweet and cheerful smile as she walked up to Li Chaoge and began to feign tears with clumsy acting.

"Of course not, I'm just, just a little excited."

Although he knew Alicia wouldn't be angry about this, Li Chaoge still immediately explained when he saw Alicia's obvious fake crying.

Today's surprises are getting bigger and bigger. Heaven knows how painful it was for him when he was in the Paradise storyline. If he had known that Alicia would appear in front of him alive, he wouldn't have been stuck on that frozen screen, touching the screen that he couldn't reach in another world for so long without clicking.

"It seems no one told me anything before I arrived."

Seeing Li Chaoge's reaction was more intense than she had imagined. Alicia blinked cutely, gently touched her pink lips with her finger, and chuckled softly, "But one's own story should indeed be told by oneself, my dear Captain, long time no see~"

"Welcome, Alicia, it's so nice to see you here."

Faced with Alicia's deliberate act of being cute, Li Chaoge did not hesitate at all and went straight forward to hug Alicia tightly, because Alicia was genuinely cute.

"Ouch, Captain, you're hitting too hard!"

Alicia was held tightly in Li Chaoge's arms. She was still teasing him, but she didn't struggle at all. Instead, she gently hugged Li Chaoge and quietly felt his excitement and affection.

It seems that what the captain said before is true; the captain has always loved them.

Although she never doubted it, just as the captain never doubted her.

After hugging for a while, Li Chaoge slowly released Alicia without any impatience or annoyance. Looking at her sweet smile, all the questions he had wanted to ask vanished without a trace.

Before today, when he chatted with Mei, Kiana, and Fu Hua, he would often intentionally or unintentionally avoid some sensitive issues, such as Alicia, Himeko, and Cheng Lixue, who were the people who were attacked in the original story.

Only now have he been able to completely put his worries to rest.

In Mei and Kiana's world line, there probably wasn't a world line where an irreversible tragedy occurred, or perhaps the game settings and game data for this world were incorrect and were merely for the purpose of the game.

After all, even Exusiai and the others said that a lot of game information didn't match up. Thinking about it carefully, the game's writers and planners can change, so it's normal for them to retcon the original text.

"Captain, am I here to become your bed warmer maid?"

Alicia didn't discuss many personal topics with Li Chaoge. Her gaze fell on the maids standing to the side. Seeing that Izayoi Sakuya, Belfast G36, and the other two were all dressed as maids, yet they exuded a noble and elegant aura from the inside out, she couldn't help but blink.

She couldn't help but suspect that the captain had made these pretty girls wear maid outfits for his own amusement, because that's what she did—she wore maid outfits because she thought they were cute. It was just that Mebius refused to wear a maid outfit and play with her.

“They are different from you. They are real maids, unlike you who are just dressed up for fun.”

Li Chaoge's lips twitched slightly. He decided to ignore the trap in Alicia's words and explained directly.

"A real maid? Is she the kind of maid who listens to everything you say, Captain, and unconditionally obeys even the most capricious and humiliating requests?"

Alicia's eyes lit up as she listened, her hands, clasped in white silk handbags, supporting her fair chin with fists, looking incredibly curious.

"...Alicia, I think you should accept Aponia's reprimand. Is the maid you're talking about a proper maid?"

Li Chaoge paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "Why do they all like to tease me? If only they were all as reassuring as G36."

He's in such an awkward situation now. If Qingge hadn't been watching, he would have given Alicia a piece of his mind!

"It's a pity Aponia isn't here, and she can't resist my pleading. If I just beg her a little, she'll quickly soften and let me go."

When Alicia saw Li Chaoge threatening her with Aponia, her sweet smile became even brighter.

“…” Li Chaoge.

This Alicia is really... Now he understands why Mei doesn't want to face Alicia.

Although Alicia is indeed very cute, being teased by her can be quite torturous, especially when you can't do anything about it.

“Miss Alicia, the master is about to summon one last person. Please come over here so we can discuss the situation in detail.”

Belfast then stepped forward and gently advised Alicia.

The commander was in a predicament, and it was time for her to step in and help out.

"Is there one more person? Okay~ Captain, I'll go chat with this maid now~"

Alicia nodded in realization. Before following Belfast, she gently blew into Li Chaoge's ear, whispering a sweet, girlish whisper: "If you summon Mebius, I can be the captain's maid too—the indecent kind~"

Chapter 210. It's truly despicable to toy with a young girl's innocence!

An indecent maid?

What kind of frivolous maid?

Li Chaoge watched as Alicia finished speaking in his ear and blinked. Then, he followed Belfast to Izayoi Sakuya and the others to continue their whispered conversation among the maids. His heart was itching with desire, as if a kitten had scratched it.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chaoge calmed down and began the final summoning of the day.

Although Alicia's offer was tempting, he was a person who liked to stick to his bottom line and principles. He summoned the maid today not for his personal enjoyment, but to summon more people who were good at managing housework and domestic affairs to help.
