Chapter 66

The next day after meeting the vampires, since it was a school holiday, Luisha woke up a little later than usual in her room.

The morning sun shining through the window tickled her nose with a gentle breeze.

It seems like it’s going to be a nice day today…

Just as she thought this, Luisha suddenly realized something was wrong and sat up abruptly.

Why is the window and curtain open when I closed them properly yesterday!?

Luisha looked around the room warily.

And there was the answer, right in front of her.

"Good morning. Breakfast will be ready in a moment, so please wait a little longer."

There stood the vampire girl Iris, dressed in a maid’s uniform. The cool and expressionless girl looked incredibly cute in the frilly, adorable outfit, making Luisha’s heart race.

"W-Why are you in my room, Iris!?"

"Locks like that are practically useless to me."

As she said this, Iris extended her index finger’s nail with a *nyu* sound.

"No, I didn’t ask how you got in, I asked why you’re here…"

"Huh? Isn’t it obvious that I, as your caretaker, should be taking care of you, Luisha-sama?"

Iris said this with a puzzled look, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It seemed that taking care of Luisha was now a settled matter in her mind.

"Come, come, let’s have breakfast. I put a lot of love into it."

"Really, how can you say that with a straight face…"

Despite her confusion, Luisha ate breakfast with Iris. Incidentally, the food Iris made was incredibly delicious.

That day, Luisha and Iris discussed plans to save the Demon King. The discussion was intense, and before they knew it, it was dark outside.

In the end, they concluded that the key was still the "Hero’s Relics."

They had managed to obtain two by luck, but they had no idea where the remaining ones were, or how many they needed to completely break the seal.

"If it’s about searching for the relics, I believe we can help."

Iris puffed out her chest as she made this proposal to Luisha.

"My vampire companions are scattered across the continent searching for the Demon King. With their help, we can find information about the relics."

"You have companions all over the continent!? That’s really reassuring!"

"Yes, indeed, *hehe*."

Iris puffed out her chest proudly. However, the next moment, she suddenly drooped and looked dejected.

"But since we don’t have a way to communicate instantly, it will take some time…"

Iris’s sudden change in expression made Luisha realize that she was more emotionally expressive than she appeared.

"But still, it’s really reassuring. After all, no one has ever helped me before."

Luisha took the dejected Iris’s hand and encouraged her. In response, Iris blushed and looked at Luisha with a dreamy gaze.

"A, Iris?"

"Luisha-sama…"

Confused, Luisha felt Iris’s face bury into her chest with a *pofu* sound. Then, to Luisha’s surprise, Iris began to take off her maid’s uniform while making a seductive *n* sound in that position.
