"Become your… maid?" Mahiru's jaw opened slightly.
She was expecting Rio to kick her out of the house. Never in her wildest dreams did Mahiru expect Rio to give her the offer of becoming a maid.
"You can take your time to think about it. Just know that I will provide you with all the support and help you would need to visit the demi-human continent." Rio assured.
"I accept." Mahiru said without any hesitation. "I am looking forward to working for you, Mistress."
The fox girl stood up and bowed in front of Rio. Lex and Rio blinked in surprise when they saw the seriousness Mahiru displayed.
"Woah, calm down. No need to get all serious. I am chill mistress so don't get worked up." Rio facepalmed.
"But…"
"Not buts. You will refer to me as Rio only."
"As you say, Rio." Mahiru replied formally.
Rio sighed and took a glance at Lex. An idea suddenly appeared inside her mind, making her smile internally.
