Migurd Magician

Everything is going according to plan. I met Sylphy much earlier than expected, not just because I missed her.

But I also wanted to teach her magic at an early age to increase her mana reserve and eventually gain the ability to use silent spell-casting by practicing at a young age. 

For the past six months, I have been teaching her elementary and intermediate attack magic. Also I decided, on one of my days off from training with Roxy and Paul I'll teach her silent spell-casting. 

Furthermore, I warned her not to use magic spells inside her house because she might accidentally destroy or damage the building. 

Usually, I teach Sylphy magic atop the village's watchtower and near her house whenever Paul or Zenith stop by to visit. 

In addition, I gave her permission to use magic spells to defend herself against bullies who pick on her because she has green hair. It will come in handy when she is delivering a lunch basket to her father in the distant future.

I need her to be a powerful magician in the distant future so she can defend herself whenever I'm not here or when we are fighting side-by-side against our enemies. 

I'm currently three and a half years old. I think now is the right time to show my parents that I can use magic, so they can hire Master Roxy as my magic tutor. Telling them directly would be a bad idea since it would be hard to convince them that a toddler could use magic spells. 

I need to show and prove to my parents that I'm a magical prodigy. So I decided to blow a hole through the wall in the upstairs study by casting a water cannon like last time.

I felt guilty about causing that much damage to the house and worrying my parents, but the ends justify the means. I needed to make sure that they would hire Roxy as my tutor. 

I was worried that if I told Paul and Zenith I could use magic. They might not hire a tutor, thinking I could learn on my own without a teacher to educate me. 

During the afternoon I made sure to reenact the same scene as my last live. I went into the study room and laid the Magic Textbook flat on the wooden floorboards. 

Afterward, I outstretched my right hand and cast Water Cannon. Launching forth a huge volume of water that blasted a massive hole in the wall. The large amount of water ultimately disperse outside causing a mini downpour to fall in the Asura Wheat Fields near the house. 

"Oh, what…A sun shower?" The Buena Village farmer said while tending to the golden wheat fields alongside his wife. 

Paul was the first to rush into the study room. "What happened?" he cried out. "Whoa!" His jaw dropped at the hole in the wall. "What the heck was that? Wait—Rudy! Are you okay?"

"Did a monster appear?" Paul muttered under his breath. "No, not around these parts...At least not in broad daylight." He mumbled and checked the big hole in the room.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa😱!" Zenith made a piercing scream in the air as she hurried into the room with distress on her face.

Lilia followed her with a calmer facial expression. While showing a mixture of curiosity and worry for my well-being.

"Rudy?! Rudy! Are you hurt!?" Zenith said, her voice filled with motherly concern. 

So I instantly responded, like any child would in this given situation.

"N-no, I'm okay mommy," reassuring her that I wasn't seriously hurt.

Zenith looked ten times worried about me compared to my last life when I first used the water cannon spell. Probably because I bonded with her a lot compared to the former timeline.

Or maybe because I called her mommy instead of mother these past few years? Damn, I am a dumbass for unintentionally letting my mother get the wrong impression about me in my last life.

Meanwhile, she looked at the shattered wall, and then at the pool of water on the floor. 

"Huh?" Her gaze wandered toward the magic textbook. She looked me in the eye; instead of maternal outrage, her lips curled into a wide grin on her face and responded to me.

"Rudy, did you speak some of the words from that book out loud😏?" Zenith asked her son while smiling.

"Y-yes, I'm sorry I broke the wall," I replied with a nod and gave a sincere apology for my actions. Since I do feel guilty about intentionally causing a big hole in the wall.

"Did you hear that darling! My baby is a genius!" Zenith joyfully squealed as she hopped around the room with pure delight. 

"Wait, wasn't that an intermediate-tier spell? How did he…" Paul began, his words trailing off as he attempted to comprehend the entire situation. 

"Oh, he's going to grow up to be an amazing mage, I just know it🤩!" Zenith suggested with eagerness, cutting Paul mid-sentence. While she was on cloud nine, about being a proud mother.

"Honey, we have to get him a home tutor right away!" Zenith said. "I'm sure we'll be able to find a wonderful magic instructor in Roa!"

Paul was less enthusiastic about Zenith's suggestion to find me a home tutor for magic. "Wait a moment, Zenith. Don't you remember our pact? If we had a boy, he would be trained as a swordsman. If we had a girl, she would study magic to become a magician."

"But we didn't know he'd be using intermediate magic at his age!" Zenith rebutted. "With the right training, he'd be an incredible magician!"

"Sorry, a promise is a promise!"

"Don't talk to me about promises! You break your promises all the time!"

"Don't throw that in my face, we're not talking about me right now!" And so my parents got into an argument. While Lilia continued calmly going about her duties behind the scenes. 

The dispute dragged on for a bit until I gave a childlike response. "Mommy, Daddy please don't fight, I can do both." 

I only said that because I vowed to interact with my parents more often compared to my last life. And build a strong familial bond with my parents. Also, I have no amusement in seeing them argue about my future career. 

"Both?" Paul and Zenith said simultaneously, thinking about my suggested idea.

Eventually, Lilia finished sweeping up the leftover debris and responded with a sigh. "What if he studies magic in the morning and practices swordsmanship in the afternoon?"

A hushed silence engulfed the room as my parents pondered Lilia's proposed solution and they both agreed with the alternative. 

Thus, ending the argument; afterwards, Paul and Zenith gave a heartfelt apology to each other. Then embraced in an affectionate hug.

"Either way, we shouldn't fight like that in front of the baby," Zenith said. 

"Yes, you're right," Paul replied.

That sealed the deal, Roxy is gonna arrive here and be my new magic tutor. On that day, I told Sylphy that I wouldn't be seeing her so often because I was being taught magic by my new teacher who would be arriving soon.

Roxy's POV

A young girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, clad in brown wizardly robes, long blue hair tied in two braids, and white skin untouched by the sun with somewhat sleepy eyes. 

She began staring at the right and left lanes while riding on a horse carriage with a young man as the stagecoach driver. 

Wheat fields to the right and wheat fields to the left. This is way, way out in the sticks! She thought while hearing the clopping sounds of the horse scrolling in the vast Fittoa Region plains of the Asura Kingdom. 

Later, she pulled out an adventurers guild request paper from her cloak's inner pocket and started reading it in her mind.

"Help Wanted: Magic tutor for the son of a knight stationed in Buena Village. Reward: Five Asuran Silver Coins, Paid Monthly."

The conditions aren't that bad for a low-ranking knight way out in the boonies.

WAIIIT. Maybe this is another deal where the client's like that one guy…Or that other lady…Or all the other ones up to now!!

I may have been a bit hasty…

"Hey miss, this is the stop for Buena Village." The stagecoach driver said to the passenger.

"Oh, right I'll be getting off, then!" I replied and, jumped off the carriage with my white suitcase and magic staff.

"MMMF~" She murmured while stretching with her magic staff upward. Due to the long carriage ride to the small hamlet. 

"Well one thing for certain though, this countryside is very beautiful compared to the Demon Continent…Okay, enough sightseeing, which way is the client's house…?"

Why are those farmers leering at me with disdain. Seriously, look at those stares, are demons that rare around here?

"Hey, why the heck did you stop here, for? There's nothing much around these parts ya'know." The adult male farmer questioned me with a hostile tone in his voice while staring me down with suspicion.

"I have business at the residence of the knight in this village." I replied with an expressionless face and unemotional eyes. I was uninterested in this random stranger, asking about my whereabouts because I belong to the Migurd demon race.

"Oh, a guest of Paul's then? It's the house straight down this road, the one with the small stone wall around it." The farmer said as he pointed to the direction of Paul's residence. 

"Thank you for telling me his whereabouts." I replied and bowed my head with gratitude. Then I gathered my belongings, and walked along the pathway nestled between the wheat fields outside the open trail. 

Finally, I reached my employer's house. It was a pastoral landscape with a two-story wooden house and a lovely garden with trees, herbs, and flowers. Also, there are three cottages situated amidst the wheat fields on all sides.

I gently knocked on Paul's door, awaiting his arrival along with the new student I'll be teaching. He swung the door open, revealing himself and his entire family. Then I pulled off my pointy magician hat and responded elegantly to them.

"I am Roxy Migurdia, It's a pleasure to meet you," I greeted the employer's family and bowed my head with the utmost respect.

"…Wha?" Mister Paul and his wife gasps. Now there's a reaction I seen quite often. Looks like this might not work out either…Another request bites the dust.

Rudeus's POV

There she is! My goddess of wisdom😍…She is as beautiful as the day I lost her. Roxy's underage features, her adorable pale white face, and her long blue hair tied in two braids look so stylish.

Not to mention I could even smell her familiar scent due to the gentle breeze outside.

Also, Roxy's iconic wizardly clothes look gorgeous on her. She's currently wearing her trademark long-sleeve white and gray button-down shirt, matching her short black skirt that shows off her beautiful well-worked thick legs.

Along with a large light brown cloak and her classic pointy wizard hat. 

Oh, my dearest Roxy…My sweet goddess…I missed your cute face so much that I even sculpted a nearly finished figurine of your image.

As I awaited your safe arrival at my family's house. I can't wait to be your apprentice again.

Damnit, I just wanna wrap my arms around that warm hourglass figure and hug master's cute body like there is no tomorrow. Then kiss her smooth face multiple times and grope that soft luscious ass. Finally, I'll have sex with my sweet goddess passionately in heavenly bliss. 

"Come on Rudeus, pull yourself together already! You need to make a good first impression to win your goddess's love and affection in the distant future." My left brain said, trying to get me to remain calm.

My left brain continues to lecture me. "You planned everything accordingly with Sylphy and now you gotta do the same thing with the goddess of wisdom, so don't screw this up you degenerate old fool."

"If you play your cards right, Roxy might even reward you by sharing a bath with her. You just need to flatter her and act like an innocent good boy." My right brain said with a clever perverted grin.

My left and right brain are correct, I gotta stay focused. I'll wield my dreams as a weapon. I won't waste a second on self-doubt or being too proud.

This is my last-second chance to save all my friends and family from an untimely demise. However, nobody can stop me from having a little fun along the way. Since I know everything that's gonna happen in the future. 

Meanwhile, there was an awkward silence in the air, as Paul and Zenith started trading confused looks. Because the magic tutor for hire was a young blue-haired girl wearing wizard attire with a small physique.

In a sleepy little town like this, my parents were probably expecting someone a bit further on in years. They were fairly certain the home tutor would be a retired adventurer who possibly looked like a middle-aged man or elderly fellow with many years of diligent study under his belt. 

Completed with a long bushy beard, billowing cloak, and noteworthy sorcerer robes. A veteran spellcaster who portrays a "wizened mage." But nope, instead a loli magician girl shows up at their front door, accepting their humble request.

"Oh, uhh…Are you the home tutor?" Zenith finally asked. "Aren't you a little, um..." Paul murmured, fumbling with his words alongside his wife.

"She's so cute!" I interrupted while feeling Paul's fatherly pride radiating off of him.

Roxy looked taken aback until she regained her composure. "Oh uhh, thank you." She gave me a blushing red smile and averted her gaze, due to the unexpected compliment. While brushing a strain of blue hair from her widow peak. 

Then she focused her attention on my parents. "So, um, where is the student I'll be teaching?"

"TA-DAAA! He's right here." Zenith replied joyfully, bouncing me in her arms slightly.

I gave Roxy a cheeky wink and a friendly smile with starlight eyes. 

Roxy let out a sigh. "Ugh…This happens sometimes," she muttered under her breath.

"A child shows signs that they're growing up a bit fast and their dumbass parents assume that the youngster is a special genius."

How rude…We're standing right here! I guess my sweet compliment didn't get through to Roxy. I mean, I totally agree with her. But it's still disrespectful to call my parents stupid like that.

Zenith's eyes twitched, looking quite annoyed as she showed a motherly red dragon glare towards Roxy, that instantly sent shivers down her spine.

"Excuse me, what was that?" Zenith said, asserting an angry tone to the bluenette girl.

"N-nothing!" Roxy frighteningly replied. "I'm just not sure a boy your son's age will be able to comprehend magical theory."

I knew Zenith was gonna say something with motherly pride so I decided to take the lead in this conversation. I held up a hand to cut her off. "Test me." Roxy blinked, her gaze fixated on me again, looking surprised by my sudden outburst. 

"Give me one day to prove myself. If I don't meet or exceed your expectations as a student, we'll pay you one Asuran Gold Coin for a month and you can go. But if I succeed, you become my magic tutor as we request and I get to call you master whenever I feel like it."

"Rudy!" Paul raised his voice a little towards me, and I tilted my head up to look at him. "You can't just make decisions on a whim like that. Especially without consulting me and your mother first."

I responded with a strong counter-argument. "Sometimes a man gotta stand their ground when proving people wrong."

Paul shut his mouth and clicked his tongue. His lips were twitching as he fought down a smile.

"That's a month's worth of my salary Rudy…I'll agree to these terms. But first I wanna hear what's gonna happen if you somehow fail."

Paul does make a fair argument, one Asuran Gold Coin is the equivalent of 100,000 yen back in my old world. So I better come up with a good punishment for him to accept. If I hypothetically lose this bet with Master Roxy.

"Mmm, well umm…If I fail then mommy can spank me as many times as she wants." I replied to my parents, without a hint of fear.

"Rudy! I could never do such things to my baby. Why would you make an outlandish bet like that in the first place?" Zenith said, looking somewhat confused that her son would suggest an unusual punishment.

"Well, I thought it would be fun…I never made a bet with someone before, so I figured it might be exciting and worth the risk." I said nervously while tapping my two fingers, pretending to be shy when being honest and blunt. 

"Also I wanna convince Miss Roxy that I am talented, just like you said Mom," I responded confidently to my parents. 

Meanwhile, Zenith and Paul signed heavily, due to their son's attempt to have fun by making a silly and risky wager. 

"Your son is quite brave and daring," Roxy said to her clients, looking quite amazed by Rudeus' sudden boldness.

"Alright, then, if that's what you want kiddo," Paul glanced between Roxy and me. He understood that I was eager to meet her expectations. "You have my full support." Looking at Roxy, he asked. "Is that arrangement suitable?"

Roxy smiled happily at these terms and responded. "Ahem, I accept these conditions, just go easy on the boy if he somehow fails. Starting today, I'll just do what I can." 

Roxy took me into the yard to start our first lesson immediately and tested my knowledge on magical theory.

"Okay Rudy, in the magic textbook, what are the three types of magic?" Roxy asked him, testing how smart he truly is. 

"Oh, magic is divided into combat, healing, and summoning," I answered. 

"That's correct," Roxy said and continued questioning him. "Next, what are the seven magic rank titles?" 

"They are listed as elementary, intermediate, advanced, saint, king, emperor, and god." I recited all the ranks as she asked.

"Great job Rudy, by the way, I'm a saint-rank water mage myself," Roxy said confidently, showing off how strong she is with magic. "Wow that's incredible Miss Roxy, you must be a very powerful and talented mage!" 

I complimented her strength and achievement, even though I already knew she was a saint-rank magician at the time. 

"Thank you very much Rudeus, that was kind of you to say. Maybe you'll reach that rank someday too, with lots of hard work and dedication." Roxy replied while hiding the small smile on her face.

"Anyway, let's get back on topic. Ahem, what is required to use magic?" She questioned him.

"Mana." Mmm, Roxy looked like she wanted me to ask a follow-up question, so I elaborated. 

"Either the mana within your body or stored within a tool, item, wand, or staff.

Roxy muttered quietly to herself. "Hmph, he's quite smart for someone so young." 

"Let's move on to the last lesson of the day. We'll see how much magic you can use, Rudy." She said while pointing a single index finger upward, indicating that it was important I pass this final assessment test to win the bet.

"First, I'll demonstrate so repeat after me…" 

"Let the great protection of water be on the place thou seekest. I call upon a refreshing burbling stream here and now. Water Ball."

Roxy fired a basketball-sized water ball at one of the trees Zenith had been cultivating in our yard, snapping it in half and drenching the stone fence behind it.

Oh shit, I forgot to warn Roxy to not use Zenith's trees as target practice.

"Well? What do you think?" She asked, with a smirk on her face.

"I think my mom is going to be very upset when she finds out. She spends a lot of time caring for that tree."

"EH! Really!?" Roxy said with a shocked look on her face while dropping her magic staff on the ground.

"Yes, ma'am." I replied honestly and nodded my head.

"They don't know it's broken yet, do they? So now my chance to…URGH!" Roxy stammered while glancing back and forth to see if my parents arrived to check on us. 

Then she rushed over to the broken tree in a panic and reattached it to the stump with elementary-level healing magic.

"Whew!" Roxy breathed.

"You can use healing magic too!"

"Wha? Oh, well, yes. Anything up through intermediate-tier spells." 

"Wow, that's amazing!" I complimented her.

"It was nothing. Anyone could manage this much magic with a bit of training." Roxy replied nonchalantly, with flushing pink cheeks. While pretending it was nothing, I could clearly see her trying to hide her smile. 

"All right, now it's your turn, Rudy."

"Okay!" I responded while hopping off the outdoor chair, getting ready to fire my spell.

Hmm…This boy seems nice and sincere, so far, he even called me cute🥰. This client might be a winner after all. Roxy thought while watching Rudeus closely.

I fired off a water ball into the air above the tree, copying the size, shape, and speed. Identical to the one Roxy just cast. In that instant, the sphere of water flew quickly, blowing a gale of wind, and flipped up her skirt on the front side.

Whoooosh💨

"Kyaa!"

Today I bear witness to a breathtaking sight of my goddess's "Holy Relic." Thank you for blessing me, pervy winds🙏. Rudeus expressed his sagely inner thoughts with a happy attitude.

While praying gratitude to the forces of nature for revealing the divine artifact of the Roxyism faith. 

It's been so many years since I last saw Roxy's panties. They were unfortunately destroyed in a blazing fire when the Order of the Temple burned down my mansion when they previously killed Zanoba, Aisha, Ginger, and Julie inside my household. 

It was a mournful and tragic day for the Roxyism Religion. Those Milis worshiping bastards paid for their unforgivable sins; with their miserable lives as I murdered every last one of them within the Kingdom of Ranoa.

But that was all in the past now… Eventually, I'm gonna get my hands on Roxy's pure white pantsu~ without getting caught. I can't wait to steal those lovely panties again and wrap them around my manhood while jerking off all night long in paradise.

"Wha…? Did you just…No way! You…Skipped the incantation."

"Is that bad? I thought the incantations were just there to teach you the spell."

He can do silent spellcasting at his age?! Who would have thought there'd be a diamond in the rough like this hidden out in the sticks?! Roxy thought while staggering.

SHIVER—SHIVER—SHIVER~

Fine, he is smart and only knows basic-level magic right now…But I'll turn this little pup into a mighty wolf. Roxy presumed while trembling at the thought of Rudy reaching his full potential with her teaching method.

"Uh, Miss Roxy?" Rudeus responded to his magic tutor to get her attention.

Yup, it's official, she's wrapped up in her own little world. Thinking that I'm a rare individual with magical potential and imagining how stupidly strong I'll become under her tutelage. Rudeus thought as he awaited Roxy's reply.

Still looking deeply shocked, Roxy replied. "No…That's fine."

"Perhaps it's worth training this one after all," she muttered under her breath.

"Uhh, does this mean I won the bet and I'm finally your student now?" Rudeus questioned her.

"Ahem, yes it does, you have passed all of my requirements. Henceforth you're officially my student. I underestimated you because of your age. But I was wrong, you truly are a natural-born prodigy when it comes to magic." Roxy replied, summiting defeat and formally decided to teach the boy magic, as his home tutor.

"Aww, thank you, Master Roxy, I promise to be the best student you ever had." Rudeus declared with an optimistic tone in his voice.

WH...What a sweet child!! Roxy thought.

Yes, I won the bet like a badass and formed a bond with her. Now I call her Master Roxy whenever I feel like it. Rudeus thought, showing a cheerful and satisfied face.

"Okay, Rudy let's move on to the next spell," Roxy said excitedly.

Roxy had me cast each elementary spell of each school of attack magic. Later Zenith brought us a tray of beverages and snacks so we sat on the porch and took a break.

"How are you feeling, Rudy? You're not getting tired are you?" Roxy asked.

"No, I'm fine. Those were all just basic elementary spells, after all."

"HACK HACK!" Roxy choked a little on her tea when I said that. "So you've already learned intermediate spells then?"

"Well…I tried the spell water cannon once and accidentally blew a hole through our wall." I said as I pointed my finger back toward the second floor of the house that had a hole in the wall.

"Yes, you definitely should not be practicing your magic indoors," Roxy said with a slight giggle.

"Well, it's clear to me that you've already mastered all of the elementary spells and some knowledge of magic theory. So we'll go over other basic information about magic since you are self-taught."

With that, Roxy took out a small book that she used as a supplementary textbook and started going over the very basic concepts of magic. Some of the concepts were misleading half-truths or simply wrong. 

Such as the idea that the magic reserve of most people is generally believed to be inherited and the amount one has is determined at birth. 

In actuality, I had discovered that one's magic reserve stopped growing around the age of ten, and would reflect the amount of training you went through before then. I didn't correct her on any of those topics, however, as there was no way to explain how I knew that information.

"…And that will wrap things up for today," Roxy said whilst closing the book cover of the magic textbook. "Thanks! Please give me another lesson tomorrow!" Rudeus replied.

Mmm, I better prepare for tomorrow's lessons later tonight. After I rented an inn to stay for the next couple of months, Roxy thought.

I walked to the front door, opened it, and responded to Zenith. "Mommy, we're all done."

"Was it fun?" Zenith asked her son.

"Yes, Master Roxy is the best teacher ever!" I said, praising my goddess.

Best teacher ever!? I just taught him some basic magic concepts and observed how powerful he truly is with elementary spells for each school of attack magic…He thinks I'm an incredible tutor, on the first day no less. Roxy pondered.

Mmm, maybe Rudy is exaggerating or he just enjoys learning from me. Roxy thought, feeling admiration from her new disciple.

Afterward, Roxy responded to Zenith. "Well, then Ma'am. Shall I see you tomorrow?"

"Oh my, do you have somewhere else to be?" Zenith asked the blue-haired girl if she had other duties that required her attention. 

"Class is over so I figured I'd head to an inn," Roxy replied. "I'm afraid this village doesn't have an inn, so you'll have to stay here with us," Zenith informed Roxy and welcomed her to stay at her house.

"WHAT?!" Roxy said out loud with a surprised look on her face. 

"Perhaps…Staying here wouldn't be your preference? Zenith questioned Roxy.

More like it wouldn't be yours. Roxy thought and responded nervously. "Well…If it's no trouble…" Who'd the heck bring a demon into their house, after all? 

"Lovely! It's settled, come on in." Zenith replied with a smile on her face, gladly welcoming Roxy to her humble home as she led the way to her room on the second floor.

"Miss Roxy, dear, your room is this way…We'll call you as soon as dinner is ready, so please make yourself at home, okay?"

"Thank you very much for letting me stay here ma'am." Roxy bowed her head, displaying gratitude to the employer's wife.

Once Zenith closed the door, Roxy put down her staff and white suitcase on the wooden floorboard. Then she took off her wizard hat and hopped on the bed.

SIGH…I had to endure a bunch of failures…But it looks like I finally got hired.

It looks like things have gone smoothly so far…But I better make sure not to cause any weird mishaps in the future…And make sure to try and maintain as much distance from the client's family as possible. 

I'm their servant after all. I should try not to stand out, so I don't make them uncomfortable.

Then Roxy instantly drifted off to sleep.

KNOCK—KNOCK~

Whoa! I fell asleep! Roxy thought as quickly got up and responded to the person who was knocking on her door. "Come in!"

"Pardon me, but dinner has been prepared, so if you'd be so kind…" Lilia said as she guided Roxy to the first floor of the dining room.

"Are you the maid here?" Roxy asked.

"Yes. I am Lilia." She answered.

"It seems a bit early for the servants to be taking their meal. Perhaps the family prefers to eat well before sunset?" Roxy questioned.

"Not exactly," Lilia replied. 

"Roxy, dear, come on! Hurry!" Zenith said out loud for the maid and magic tutor to hear.

"TA-DA! Today's a welcoming party for you, Miss Roxy…So we decided it was time for a feast!" Zenith announced while displaying all the delicious food on the table.

"Now! Go on! Sit!" Zenith said while gently pushing her to take a seat on the chair.

"What? Ma'am?" Roxy replied, looking quite perplexed by Zenith and everyone's sudden hospitality to a demon like her.

"I was told it was customary for human servants never to share a meal with their employers," Roxy said feeling confused and startled. "Oh, come on. Doing traditions like that is exhausting, sit!" Paul said while picking up Rudeus so he could sit on the chair.

"Sit here okay," Zenith said, directing Roxy to sit right near her son Rudeus.

Even Miss Lilia? Roxy thought, seeing the maid also being welcome to join her employer for dinner as well.

I-is it really okay? Roxy thought, feeling somewhat nervous about the entire family suddenly being kind to her.

"Well then, cheers!" Paul shouted with joy.

FIDGET—FIDGET~

"Master! I'm so happy you're staying here. So please let's be friends okay?!" Rudeus said to ease Roxy's nerves. 

"I'd love to be your friend, Rudy," Roxy replied, looking quite flustered while grinning.

"Miss Roxy, do you like sweet things?" Zenith asked the bluenette girl.

"I-I sure do," Roxy answered.

"This pumpkin pie really came out well today, here are some!" Zenith replied cheerfully.

"It's…Delicious." Roxy said with a blushing scarlet red and smiling with the Greyrat family.
