Rachel Phoenix returned to her rented apartment, which was only a few minutes away from the Hundred Miles Apartments.
Currently, the house is empty except for Rachel.
Since the girls who followed Baili either went to another world or the underworld, there wasn't much work for them to do.
Levi, as the head maid, was to stay behind and wait for orders, but...
After Baili brought a girl home, she was told not to go back for three hours.
Although Levi didn't complain, she was still somewhat bothered.
Not long ago, Raville visited the Underworld with Baili and his group. While conquering everyone, she also solved the problems in Phoenix's family with the power enhancement provided by Chunji.
In this way, Rachel wouldn't have to worry about the troubles at home.
She can focus all her attention on the work at hand.
By demonstrating their talent and loyalty before the emperor, they can gain more favor and blessings!
However, before the above plan could be fully implemented, he encountered Griffith, who was even more capable and outstanding than himself.
Compared to Griffia, the head maid, Raville, seemed like a complete novice...
However, Baili did not strip Levier of her position because of Grefia's arrival; instead, he made her cooperate with Grefia.
From this perspective, it could be said that Baili is quite self-assured, right?
Thinking this, Levi glanced at the sky.
Ten minutes had passed since I left the apartment, and Baili had probably already run to the bedroom bed with the girl he brought home.
Levi was a little jealous.
I was the one who got here first...!
Even if he can't compare to others, he's at least better than the newcomers, right?
"call……"
With a sigh, Rachel went to her room to change her clothes.
Since Baili told me to go back in three hours, I might as well use that time to go to the market and see if there are any delicious ingredients.
When I get back, I'll make a delicious meal for Baili, and he'll definitely praise me.
To improve her culinary skills, Rachel spends every evening researching and practicing with her family.
In just three days, she spent more than 10,000 yen on food!
However, this money would not put any pressure on Ravelle, a noblewoman from the underworld.
"Should we buy some more top-grade truffles to try?"
Talking to herself, Rachel hurried toward the market.
After some time, she returned empty-handed.
If I had to say something, it would just mean I had an extra cup of milk tea that tasted pretty good.
While sipping her milk tea, Leivier checked the time.
Two hours have passed.
How is the situation on Lord Baili's side?
Levi decided to return to the apartment early, but would wait at the door and not go in to disturb the two.
However, just as she was leaving her room and preparing to leave, she heard the doorbell ring.
If it's their own family member, they won't ring the doorbell if they have a key.
who can that be?
With these questions in mind, Levi, having changed back into her maid outfit, arrived at the door.
She opened the door and saw a young girl.
The girl has long, glossy black hair styled in a Hime cut.
Her pupils were a rare bright red, as beautiful as jewels.
As for her face shape... she has the typical oval face that's popular with pretty girls, with delicate features, fair skin, and an overall impression of pure yet slightly sickly beauty.
To put it simply, she's the type of person who leaves a lasting impression at first glance.
However, Levi had never seen her around here before; this was the first time they had met.
More importantly,
Levier sensed something was amiss.
An ominous magical power seemed to emanate from the black-haired girl...
Becoming alert, Levier prepared for battle, but outwardly appeared quite calm.
"Maid? Excuse me... Is the landlord in?"
"I am the current resident of this apartment."
"Ugh?"
The girl was somewhat surprised by Rachel's answer.
Then, the other person showed an "I see" expression and smiled gently.
"Oh, I see... I know, this is called cosplay, I've seen it on TV before, it suits you perfectly."
"Thank you for the compliment……"
Although Levi didn't think she was cosplaying, she decided to go along with the other person's idea because it would be too troublesome to explain.
After finishing their conversation, the girl held up what she was holding.
It was a bag.
"Nice to meet you. I'm a new resident who just moved to this area. Although these are all detached houses, they're mostly close together, so we're practically neighbors. That's why I'm here to say hello. I hope I haven't bothered you."
"Ravell Phoenix, that's my name. What's yours?"
After introducing herself, Levi accepted the simple gifts the girl offered, which included noodles, soap, and other items.
These are all common gifts that Japanese people give to their neighbors as a gesture of goodwill after moving.
After hearing what Levier said, the black-haired girl realized that she had forgotten to say her name.
"Sorry, sorry, a lot has happened lately, I've been a bit forgetful."
"fine."
"My name is Sanka, Sanka Rea. I am currently living alone. I have just completed the procedures for moving and transferring blood. Please take care of me."
Sankarea...
Levi had never heard of this name.
Faced with a girl exuding a suspicious aura and surging with ominous magic, Levi'er naturally wouldn't let her leave easily.
So she turned to the side and gestured an invitation.
"Miss Sanhua, since we are future neighbors, please come in and have a seat."
"May I?"
"Of course, and I also want to get to know Miss Sanhua better; as the saying goes, distant relatives are close neighbors, and I hope we can help each other, and getting to know each other is the first step."
After saying that, Levi took a step back to make room for Sanka Rea.
However, the girl standing at the door, though showing a happy expression, did not accept the invitation.
“Excuse me, Miss Rachel, I have to go and say hello to another neighbor over there.”
As she said this, Sanka Rea raised her hand and pointed to an apartment building not far away.
That was Baili's apartment.
Upon hearing this, Rachel stopped putting on a friendly and amicable attitude and her expression became serious.
“Miss Sanka, I can sense an unusual aura emanating from you.”
"...?"
These words caused Rea Sanka, who had raised her hand, to show a surprised expression.
"Um... Miss Levier, what do you mean by 'abnormal aura'? I don't quite understand."
"Don't understand? You're just pretending not to understand, aren't you? I'm sure of that. You exude an ominous aura of magic."
"No, it's impossible..."
Sanka Rea frowned.
Not only that, she also raised her right hand and asked her arm.
"It has no taste..."
"Don't play dumb, this magical aura isn't just a simple human scent."
"Really? That's great."
Levi's answer actually relieved Sanhua Limi.
What’s going on…?
Levi became puzzled instead.
Is body odor more noticeable than a magical aura that can be detected by others?
Although Levi is also a girl, she bathes frequently and makes sure she doesn't have any strange body odor...
But the current situation is anything but ordinary.
The girl in front of him seemed completely unconcerned that her ominous magical aura had been discovered.
“Miss Levi, you’re right… I do indeed possess magic.”
"Are you a magician?"
"No, no, I have no relation to magicians."
