804 Maids Ambition (1/2)

Men would always have their own methods of relaxation.

After being busy for the entire day at work, you would return home so tired that you wanted to go to sleep right out on the street. If a cute girl could greet you at the door in lace maid attire with a sweet smile...

”Master, welcome home. Would you like to eat first, or take a shower, or...”

Ahem ahem, male readers probably understand the rest without me needing to say it out loud.

I admit that I was a huge maid lover. Still, men had to have some hobbies!

”Is a man still a normal man if he's not a pervert!?”

I said such a sentence with great pride back in the day. I requested that Elisa ”welcome me back home” and ”wake me up” every day. Of course, such services weren't perverted versions at all, as I was a skeletal lich back then, so what would I even be able to do? Still, I would never forget how icy her expression was after I requested such services. She even treated me coldly for an entire month afterwards!

In fact, in order to make Elisa obediently wear maid attire, not only did I threaten her with how much she owed me for raising her, I even almost kneeled and hugged her legs... Cough cough, I didn't mention anything at all!

From a certain standpoint, fine, from a gentleman's standpoint, my ”education” for Elisa was a complete failure.

”I don't understand. Even though she was clearly so cute and obedient when she was younger, how did she grow up to become an iron maiden like Margaret?”

Back when Elisa was just a little girl, she really did do everything that I asked, such as smiling sweetly and greeting me with ”Welcome home, Master”, ”Be careful outside, Master”, and so on. But once she grew up a little and understood more hings, her obedient child self instantly into my dark history where she would immediately go on a rampage the instant that I mentioned it.

Currently, the familiar iciness in her silver eyes had melted. She raised her dress and spoke my favorite welcoming words in such a sweet voice. Her beauty and attitude would both receive full marks. She was basically the perfect maid that I could only dream of. Yet, I kept feeling chills run down my spine as goosebumps appeared all over my skin.

”Perhaps, I might truly die this time...”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

10 minutes later, I was feeling even more confused as I enjoyed the familiar scenery and relaxed myself in the yard of my old home.

I was no novice who hadn't seen the world before. I had witnessed plenty of personal domains and environments. I had seen hundreds of Soul Worlds capable of creating environments that were incredibly realistic. However, my old home was completely realistic and exactly as I remembered it.

Black pearl grape wine was also one of the very few ”foods” that high-level dead were capable of enjoying.

I had spent a great deal of effort in order to successfully grow the black pearl grapes. The entire garden was designed just for them. If the black pearl grapes were moved from their original location, they should have instantly withered and died away, yet these tiny black grapes were the same as what I recalled.

The most incomprehensible part of all was the rack underneath the grape vines, rather than the grapes themselves.

The leftmost pillar had hundreds of knife markings from a certain person measuring their height while growing up. The knife markings were identical to how they should have been.

An illusion or Soul World projection would have requirements for the caster. The Soul World was only capable of containing things that the caster knew about and had memories of. Even if the thing wasn't like that in real life, the Soul World could change reality as long as the caster's will was strong enough.

But from a different standpoint, anything that the caster didn't know about or didn't pay attention to would naturally not be within the Soul World.

I tasted the familiar taste of black pearl grape wine in my mouth. This was a toxin for anyone living, but it caused me to recall the past.

Many tiny details that Elisa wouldn't possibly have paid attention to back then were now fully recreated in front of me. It was as if Elisa truly could control the world. I had never even heard of such an ability before. I really couldn't understand such an Elisa...

”Stop trying to randomly guess. This is the exact same old house from Sulfur Mountain City. I went there and transported the entire house here.”

”Cough cough! You should have told me that much earlier. I almost choked to death.”

I coughed out some blood. My expression right now was probably really awkward.

Once I calmed down and glanced once more at the familiar scenery, I felt even more unwilling. How could Elisa be so wasteful? Once the fighting began here, wouldn't everything here be destroyed? This was my old home!

That's right, fighting. I knew from the instant that I saw Elisa that things wouldn't possibly end peacefully this time. Not only had I fallen into a trap, the trap was set by someone I truly trusted.

However, I would still have to face the truth in the end...
