Promise to take her home and make her a maid

“Alice-chan, are you alright!!”
Miriam came to my side after I awkwardly fell down.
“I, I’m alright…”
Cough cough, sorry, Miriam.
Don’t worry about father.
Unfortunately, I feel like a sickly father…

“Please go back to bed. The soup is almost done. The bread fermented, so I’ll also bake it”
Unsteadily walking, I returned to bed.
Isn’t Alice-chan’s body too frail!?

Ah, I see.
It’s frequent for witches to not have sturdy bodies in the setting.
HP and defense are commonly a third of a knight’s.

“Miriam, you sure are dexterous. It smells delicious”
“… Is that because I’m a commoner…?”
Her eyes like chihuahua’s became damp.
Eh? Have I said something strange!?
“Right, Alice-chan is a lady. You wouldn’t do something like cooking”
Oh, it was tactless to mention that!!
In my original world!! you’d call somebody a lady sarcastically!!

What shall I have prepared today? You would use it for such spoiled people.

But, for some reason, I don’t mind…
Peeling vegetables is a pain!!
And meat, if you mess up thawing it tastes weird!!
Then wiping the burnt pan!!
I’m thoroughly hopeless. Haa.
“Because I can’t cook…”
“Are you bragging? Maids do it for you, don’t they? Lady, what do you want for tonight?”
Mi, Miri-chan is scary…

“Isn’t it charming you can cook!!”
“Is that so? I have a feeling you all are looking down on me”
“Isn’t a girl cooking in an apron dress adorable!!”
Although there are no maid cafes in this world, I wonder if she could understand their appeal.

Ah, that girl is cute!!
She didn’t hear I’d like to take her home, right?
I did, I’m not a stray cat!!
A shame.

“Like that, you’re looking down on me!! You have lots of maids in your house!!”

She’s sulking…
“If you say so, I’ll take you home!!”
“He…?”
“Take you home, and make you wear an apron dress!!”
“Eeh? Eeh?”
“You don’t want it?”
“… It’s a promise!! Once it’s over, I’ll go with you!!”
Ah, I promised to take her home with me…
But, Miri-chan will be the queen of Larice.
It’ll be impossible to make her a maid in Alice’s house.
Despite knowing it’s a meaningless promise, I promised to Miriam.
