Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

No matter what offensive tactics she adopted, her opponent always seemed to be able to find her weaknesses.

Elise, who was watching from the sidelines, also showed a look of surprise when she saw Nora being suppressed.

Even if Nora wasn't in the best condition, she was still the main character, and she had already reached the late stage of the fifth rank. How could she be suppressed by the little maid? When she watched the little maid fight before, she wasn't this brave.

Does the little maid have a special attack against Nora?

However, this suppression did not last long. As Nora began to use her multi-weapon proficiency and displayed a variety of fighting styles, the little maid's offensive finally slowed down.

;Ling + Qishanba

Seeing Nora's fighting spirit ignited, Elise silently breathed a sigh of relief. She had been a little worried that Nora might develop some psychological problems because she couldn't wield her sword against her.

The battle between the two was so intense that even Rumia came over to join in the fun.

When the maid wasn't around, she was Elise's personal maid, so it was natural for her to start preparing the table, chairs, and refreshments.

"The little maid is surprisingly strong."

"Yes, her performance did indeed exceed my expectations."

Hearing Iris's words, Lumia was also somewhat surprised. She knew that Iris's personal maid, Kosuke, was actually surprised by her behavior.

However, Rumia didn't ask about this. She just silently watched the two fighting and was also calculating in her mind how the battle would turn out if she were to fight them.

The battle between the little maid and Nora lasted for quite some time, and the final result was a draw.

Since it wasn't a life-or-death situation, neither of them used their trump cards. Even so, the arena where they fought was left pitted and unsightly.

With a casual wave of her hand, Elise unleashed the power of the earth, which quickly filled in the uneven ground and even sprouted grass, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Come and rest for a bit."

Hearing her mistress's call, the little maid gave a soft hum and immediately moved closer to her mistress.

Nora breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that as long as she didn't swing her sword at Elise, she wouldn't have any hallucinations.

She slowly walked over and sat down next to Elise, enjoying the delicate tea and snacks while inquiring about the being inside her body. She briefly explained what had just happened to her, wanting to see if the other party knew the reason.

"I don't know. If you want to know, I suggest you fight Iris a few more times." The ethereal voice sounded somewhat gloating.

Nora twitched the corner of her mouth: "Let's forget about that kind of thing."

She felt that she would not be able to forget that real hallucination in a short period of time.

However, after that hallucination, she realized that Elise was more important to her than she had imagined.

When I finished writing the second update, I suddenly got a twisted excitement, so there was a third update. Surprised? Unexpected?

Volume 1: Chapter 253 Iris's Maternal Love

In the western part of the Holy Kingdom, in an inconspicuous little town.

Sera walked slowly through the town, which looked so familiar to her.

Yes, she remembered. Ellie had brought her here to live in seclusion for a while before. She remembered that her mental state was extremely unstable during that time, and she often forgot who she was.

Unlike now, she knows very clearly that she is Elise!

Hmm? Something seems off?

If I were Elise, I should have been the one who brought Sera here, but... who is Sera?

By the way, Sera is the person I chose to train after this rebirth; she is the legendary savior.

Sera quickly sorted out her thoughts and began to stroll around the familiar town.

She remembered that she often took Sera to the town's pubs to sample the local delicacies, the taste of which she had almost forgotten.

That won't do. Those are very precious memories. How can I forget them?

With that thought in mind, Sera slowly walked into the tavern.

The town's tavern is usually frequented by local regulars, with occasional adventurers appearing, but the area is relatively safe, so adventurers are still a rare sight.

The proprietress hadn't seen a stranger like Sera for a week.

"Hello, what can I get?"

"I remember the vegetable stew with meat here was delicious."

"Have you been here before, sir? This is our signature spot." The proprietress smiled kindly, while trying hard to remember. She shouldn't forget such a beautiful blonde girl if she had only seen her once.

“I came here a long, long time ago.” After saying that, Sera ordered a few more dishes based on her memory, and then began to wait quietly.

Although she was supposed to be waiting, Sera was far from calm. She seemed to see Elizabeth leading her... no, it should be the little things about living here together with Elizabeth.

She remembered that during that time they were just like two ordinary people, taking walks every day, watering flowers, and occasionally hunting a few low-level monsters to exchange for money in town.

I wish those days could have lasted forever.

Why didn't it continue? A look of confusion flashed in Sera's eyes.

Just then, the familiar aroma brought Sera back to reality. Since there weren't many customers in the tavern, her order was quickly prepared and served.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir. Just let me know if you need anything."

"it is good."

Sera picked up her cutlery and began to savor the food with elegant movements, as if she were not in an ordinary pub, but at some sophisticated banquet.

Seeing this, the proprietress felt that this blonde girl must be some kind of noble lady; ordinary people don't have that kind of air about them.

I don't know what the noble lady is doing in this remote town, but she seems quite friendly, unlike the noble gentleman who came before.

The familiar taste brought back many memories for Sera.

She remembered why they had left in the first place; it seemed they had been discovered by the Eternal Church.

Sera's mental state, which had finally begun to improve, deteriorated again, forcing him to take her with him...

In a daze, Sera once again saw the scene of Elise sacrificing everything for her in front of her, and a severe headache made her involuntarily cover her forehead.

"Guest, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Sera shook her head, her expression softening again. She had just suddenly remembered that she had something important to do; she needed to find someone.

A very important person to her.

But she couldn't remember who she was.

That's right, it should be Sera. After all, I am Elise, so the most important person to me must be Sera.

The proprietress was initially worried that her tavern's food might not suit the noble lady's taste, but when she returned from the kitchen with some snacks, she found that the lady had disappeared, leaving behind a few gold coins on the table.

This meal doesn't need that much money.

She hurriedly chased after her out of the tavern, but the noble lady had long since disappeared from sight.

……

"Yawn~"

Elise yawned lazily, letting the maid help her change.

Although she has the ability to change clothes and doesn't need the maid's help at all, she can always feel the maid's resentful gaze whenever she uses the changing ring to change her clothes.

Helpless, Elise could only give the little maid a chance to shine during everyday life.

Last night, she continued to play the role of the Earth Goddess, giving guidance to believers.

Her hard work in playing the role during this period has allowed her to advance once again in the blessing of the Earth Goddess. Rather than an advancement, it would be more accurate to say that she has stolen a bit of power from the Earth Goddess.

Because of her recent advancement in blessing, the little maid had a strange illusion while serving her mistress.

Even though the person standing in front of her was the young lady, she could still sense the gentle and loving aura of the lady.

Sensing the maid's gaze, Iris smiled gently and asked, "Misha, what's wrong?"

"I... I feel that you have a similar air about you to Madam today, Miss."

"what?"

Elise was stunned for a moment before realizing that the more she stole the power of the Earth Goddess, the closer she would get to Her. The Earth Goddess was also known as the Mother Goddess, which was why the little maid had that feeling of déjà vu.

In order to avoid exuding the air of a married woman at such a young age, Elise quickly began to control the slight influence of the blessing on her.

Before long, Elise's maternal instincts subsided considerably, at least enough to stop giving the little maid a strange sense of déjà vu.

Looking at herself in her school uniform in the mirror, Elise turned to the maid and said, "The school exchange conference starts today. If you have time, you can go and join in the fun."

"I'll go if I can see the young lady."

"The competition between the colleges won't start anytime soon. Right now, it's just a normal time for academic exchange. If you really want to see some excitement, you might have to wait a few more days."

"Ok."

The little maid nodded seriously, while also looking forward to her mistress's performance on stage.

But I have a feeling that my young lady probably won't be able to show her full strength, right? After all, she's a cultist.

When Elise was getting ready to go out, she saw Nora squatting at the manor gate, looking nothing like a noble lady.

"If you squat like that, someone could easily talk about you for a lifetime."

"Huh?" Nora looked up at Elise with a confused expression, completely unaware of what the other woman meant.

Volume 1: Chapter 254 Miss Wood is Jealous

Elise crouched down next to Nora and gently poked her smooth cheek: "Why didn't you come in to find me? I remember you used to come directly to my room."

At this point, Elise suddenly looked aggrieved: "You don't hate me, do you? You just did that kind of thing to me, but then you turned your back on me. I never thought you were that kind of person."

Seeing Elise on the verge of tears, Nora couldn't help but twitch her lips. This woman was too good at imagining things. But in her opinion, it was less about imagining things and more about Elise deliberately acting to tease her.

Actually, Nora didn't want to go directly to Elise's room, but the hallucination she had last time left her with some psychological trauma, making her unsure how to face Elise. So, she could only squat here and try to figure out a solution.

However, before a solution could be found, Elise came out first.

However, after Elise's performance, Nora relaxed a lot. She smiled and said, "Stop acting, we'll be late if we don't leave now."

“Okay.” Seeing that Nora’s expression had relaxed considerably, Elise also stood up, a gentle smile blooming on her face.

When the two reached the teleportation hall, Nora asked curiously, "Do you think there's any need to hide our relationship anymore?"

"Are you really that eager to make our relationship public?" Elise tilted her head, then gave a look of sudden realization. "Oh~ I see, you're afraid I'll be stolen away. I didn't know you, you blockhead, had such a little scheme in mind~"

"I... I meant to say that we are friends."

Although she can now communicate telepathically with Elise through insects, she has to let the insects crawl into her ears every time. Although she is used to it, she certainly wouldn't mind if she could skip this step.

“Of course.” The pretense between Elise and Nora was originally meant to lull Vivian into a false sense of security, but now that Vivian has laid her cards on the table, there’s no need for pretense anymore.

The reason she didn't bring it up herself was because she wanted to see when Nora would bring it up first.

Illumis originally thought that Nora would not care about this wooden ball, but she did not expect that this piece of wood has become somewhat enlightened.

Having received the answer she wanted, Nora smiled, relieved that she wouldn't have to stuff the bug into her ear anymore. Part Two

As the teleportation array was activated, the two figures instantly appeared in the academy's teleportation hall.

Today is the first day of the college exchange conference, and the main purpose is to introduce the elites of each college and the various exchange procedures.

To be honest, it was pretty boring, but as student representatives, the two still needed to be there. (Zero)

Elise and Nora quickly found their spots in the area that had been prepared before they arrived at the academy.

In a very conspicuous place. Umbrella

Both Elise and Nora are quite well-known in the academy, and their bitter rivalry is a topic of much discussion. However, it was unusual for them to appear together today, even sitting side-by-side and exchanging pleasantries, making it impossible to discern any animosity between them.

Many people speculate that the two deliberately created a harmonious atmosphere for the sake of academic exchange.

Even some teachers were moved; these two were able to suppress their inner hostility for the sake of the college's reputation.

Nora whispered in Elise's ear, "Why does it feel like it's pretty much the same as usual?"

"Who knows? Do you prefer the feeling of being the center of attention?"

"That's not it."

The two didn't have to wait long before the college exchange conference officially began.

First came the entrance of each college and its representative. Since this was Elise's umpteenth time attending this event, she seemed somewhat uninterested, only showing a smile to Hattie and Elira when they entered.

Noticing Elise's smile, Hattie nudged Elira and whispered, "I saw Miss Elise, she's smiling at us."
