After graduation, friends with strong university connections joined forces to start a business. If the business fails, there is nothing to say. In the future, the two brothers will continue to have fun; if the business is successful, the one from the wealthy family will become the "boss", and the one from the difficult family will become the "employee", the so-called "hard friends in college" Gradually, only the face is left, and even greet each other's family for one thousand and several hundred yuan on the payroll.
Of course, there is no denying the existence of "sincere feelings". Even a domineering president falls in love with a second-class female employee, a big family boy falls in love with a poor girl, and a popular idol falls in love with a cleaner. I won't lose the iron buddies of my entire life... However, it cannot be denied that in the vast majority of cases, equal relationships based on unequal status are fragile.
Yes, that's why [Sakuya] gave up his status as "the only friend" and instead followed the vampire as a "maid on the sidelines". No one is born to like to bow down, but the gap between the two sides' abilities is so huge that [Sakuya] can't help but develop self-knowledge, so he can choose a more lasting relationship.
As for the option of parting ways with vampires? It can only be said that making a living is never easy. Compared with being a thief who will gradually corrupt the spirit, compared with being a child laborer who cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing, compared with enduring the darkness of the big dye vat of society, being a vampire. The maid is more reliable.
—Especially this one vampire maid.
"..." No matter it was day or night, every time [Sakuya] came back from work, the vampire master was dozing off, and today was no exception.
[Sakuya], who was accustomed to this, gently closed the door, placed the backpack gently on the table, took out the contents one by one, and put them into the suitcase.
"...?" At this point in time, [Sakuya]'s maid skills were still entry-level. Even if he deliberately made his movements lighter, he still woke the vampire, "... Are you back?"
"Yes, I spent some time shopping." The maid's skills are low, but her attitude is very positive. From the beginning, [Sakuya] is not the kind of maid who takes pleasure in teasing and complaining about the master.
"I see..." The vampire got off the recliner and stretched.
(Clap) [Sakuya] The sound of placing the silver pocket watch on the table attracted the vampire's attention.
"As a qualified maid, you must have a good sense of time... others say it." [Sakuya] has been asking for advice from the upper-class maids in London, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find the former "orphans" and "Rippers" in her. Jack" figure.
"The concept of time..." The vampire tilted his head, picked up the silver pocket watch from the table, and handed it to [Sakuya] after a while, "Well, then it should be fine."
"???" [Sakuya] took the silver pocket watch for unknown reasons.
(Pfft!!!) My heart throbbed inexplicably.
Then came some kind of extraordinary realization.
[Sakuya] Looking at his vampire master in disbelief, "Master, I... I can use it to manipulate time?"
"Well, so you won't be afraid of being late..." The vampire thought that he had solved a problem for the other party, that's all.
"..." [Sakuya] clenched the silver pocket watch tightly.
She also defined the subsequent throbbing in her heart as "caused by the power of the silver pocket watch".
…
As time passed, the maid turned into a slim girl, and [Liz] became a young man exuding a lazy breath... Cough, whether it was [Liz]'s body recovering or the maid's body stopping growth and aging, it was his ability to display his abilities. the result of.
The two masters and servants wandered around Europe at an extremely slow pace of life. They stayed for a few more months when they came across a place they liked, and went straight to a place that was uninteresting. In every sense, this is harmless to the master and servant, but it does not mean that their aimless journey will be free from disputes.
Needless to say, the most common robbers, no matter when they were children or now, they all look like fat sheep; human exorcists have good noses, and when they find vampires, it is a siege; Force-of course, these garbage can't pose a threat to [Leeds], in fact, most of them can't even beat the maids who have "the ability to manipulate time".
However, disputes will form a chain reaction. A low-level exorcist dies, attracting a high-level exorcist, a brain-dead little monster dies, and the whole family of the brain-dead monster comes to seek revenge. big. And just like that, it finally led to the appearance of the Great Youkai—
"Oh ho ho~~ What a manic young man, it's different from the rumors I heard~~" Yakumo Zi, wearing a gorgeous dress and holding an umbrella, appeared in the villa where the master and servant lived.
"...Who?" As far as the monsters are concerned, [Liz]'s active aggression is very low, but Yakumo Zi has not shown up since his arrival, and he looks like he wants to peep down, and then [Liz] shoots her from the gap. Come out, this "manic" is used unfairly.
"If you've heard the name 'Yakumo Zi', we can save a lot of time~" Yakumo Zi showed a beautiful smile.
"... Monster sage?" Yakumo Zi is a celebrity in the monster circle. Even the long-sleeping [Liz] heard about her deeds hundreds of years ago.
"It's someone else~" Yakumo Zi responded in a tender tone.
"..." [Liz] was silent.
"Ah, you really don't like this type?" Yakumo Zi glanced at the maid behind [Leeds], and although she still had a smile on her face, she spoke more seriously, "As you know, I established Gensokyo, although everything has been going smoothly so far, but in the end, Gensokyo is just a helpless compromise.”
"If there is such a monster, with power similar to the goddess of the demon world, Shenqi, who can listen to the opinions of others when creating the world..." Yakumo Zi narrowed her eyes and stared at [Liz]'s eyes.
"Not interested." [Liz] couldn't find a reason to do such a thing.
"'Not interested', right?" Yakumo Zi's eyes narrowed.
Whether it is a human being or a monster, their eyes are the window to the soul, and being able to say "no interest" rather than "can't do it" without any hesitation or concealment implies confidence in their own strength. Even if it is finally proved in the practical stage that its ability is still a long way from Shenqi, and it is impossible to complete the great cause of creation, at least it still has usable value.
This is an answer beyond expectations. You must know that when she first heard the rumors about [Leeds], Yakumo Zi didn't have much expectations until [Leeds] activated her ability to blast her out of the gap. Only to know that there is no reason to come out of nowhere.
"Haha~ After all, it's about the future of youkai, please forgive me for not giving up easily, I'll try to make you interested~" Yakumo Zi opened the gap behind her, and stepped back gently into it, "Then, see you next time. ~”
"Master, is it really okay to let her go?" The maid frowned, Yakumo Zi's speech hinted at a series of troubles to come.
"If she can make me 'interested', that's a good thing." [Liz] is looking forward to that day, "... Speaking of which, I forgot about Gensokyo... Let's go see it someday, Sakuya …”
"Yes… "
