Episode 98   In the twinkling of an eye, I lost my judgment. ‘Is this originally… a place of fire? Or did the fire break out at the perfect timing?’   A scorching heat rose up into the sky. Even though the black smoke covered the clouds, I couldn’t see this when we were on…

<Episode 97>   Kuwong. With a heavy sound, the gate opened.   The white city revealed itself along with the setting sun, emanating an unfamiliar and refreshing sense of awe.   My first impression of Calepa, or more precisely, the outskirts of Calepa, was that it was highly exotic. The landscapes of the Astrosa Kingdom…

<Episode 96>   “Why is the Count smiling?” “Because it’s cute.” Count Serenier flexibly responded to the King’s jab. The bewildered king searched him with confused eyes and coughed, stealing a glance at me.   “Ahem. Well… since we seem to have some spare time, I could also learn a thing or two from your…

<Episode 95>   “…During the Magic War. Was there a militia in the village where you lived, senior?” “Yeah.” “Did they protect the village?” “Yeah. Protecting the village was the duty of the militia .” “That wasn’t the case for my hometown.”   That was a firm denial, almost tainted with resentment. “It was during…

For Datsukai, thank you for the ko-fi ♡ <Episode 94>   The day of the entrance examination has dawned. Mental preparation? Warm up exercises? I didn’t need anything like that.   I was Daisy Fager, a maid of the Weatherwoods, an enlightened sword-demon, and the Count of Vladiev. I was the hero that delivered the…

For Datsukai, thank you for the ko-fi! ♡   <Episode 93>   “Then why did you tell me the truth?” “I don’t know.” You don’t know what I’m talking about, right? I didn’t know either.   But that’s how human affairs were. This seemed right, and it was probably okay, but I still hesitated to…

<Episode 92>   Desherro released his tight grip on my hand and spread it open.   “Your hand is soft, Miss Daisy.”   “…”   “It does have a slight callus, but it’s not the callus of a swordsman. It could be considered a trace of household chores. Yet, you wielded a sword. And not…

For A, thank you for the Ko-fi ⁠♡ <Episode 91>   That night.   I was wandering around the palace. It wasn’t aimless wandering, though. I was preparing my body for the entrance examination that would take place the next day.   ‘I feel like swinging a sword while I have the opportunity to be…

<Episode 90>   My mouth fell open in surprise. This astonishment wasn’t discomfort. It wasn’t shame or humiliation, nor was it the joy of facing a photograph of myself from four years ago.   I simply…   “Oh, here it is. Come this way, I’ll show you my masterpiece.” Startled, I raised my head, shaking…

<Episode 89>   “The priest’s name is Malcolm. Have you ever heard the name, Count Serenier?” “Perhaps.”   The Astrosa King, dismissing his evasive answer, shook the paper in front of me. “Surprising, truly astonishing. Look here, Miss Daisy. Do you know what this recommendation means?” “A recommendation is just a recommendation, what else could…

<Episode 88>   “Just now,” The King of Astrosa questioned with a face as bewildered, no, even more than mine. “Just now, did you say that woman is your lover, Count? Or did my ears hear wrong? Is that it?”   A short question I’d been asked upon entering the castle rang in my head….

<Episode 87>   Considering the situation, it felt inappropriate to dismiss it as a mere frivolous joke. There seemed to be some reason behind it.   ‘Child or lover.’ I should imagine it as Count Serenier, not Rue. Daisy, the daughter of Count Serenier.   ‘I dislike it a lot.’ Daisy, the lover of Count…

<Episode 86>   While the bald old man was causing a commotion, Jean approached me cautiously and whispered.   “Senior. Just now, it felt like an intense heat, as hot as a flame, appeared and disappeared in an instant. How did you do that?”   This? “The Devil’s Ironing Technique.” “Excuse me?” “It’s a technique…

<Episode 85>   Has he ever been hit in the back of his head by a maid? His criticism was more biting than necessary. I looked at Viscount Quan, who was clearly expressing his displeasure and thought to myself.   ‘Should I retaliate?’ Then, I caught a glimpse of Count Serenier’s face. He was looking…

<Episode 84>   “It seems that Miss Daisy needs to become a little more difficult. Easy women lack charm, after all. Admittedly, I am a splendid Count, but you mustn’t fall for me recklessly.” “You’re Rue.” “Rue? I’m not sure who you’re talking about. A lover? If you’re mistaking me for him, he must be…

<Episode 83>   I shook my head with a look, and then said it plainly. “There’s no such thing.” “You don’t have it?” “There’s no letter from Morian Serenier – since Morian Serenier is a made-up person in the first place.”   Honestly, I was half-sure that this man was either Rue or someone related…
