Farah''s POV
Hana holds me tightly in her arms and walks inside the control room. The moment she opened the door, I could feel everyone pay attention to me.
-The head maid is back... (Maid A)
-Also, master! (Maid B)
The maids here show many expressions compared to the ones in the past.
-Wait, your expression! (Maid C)
The maid panics and tells each other. The maid who stands next to me holds her head as if she just witnessed a troublesome thing.
-I''m sorry, master. They are not always like this... (The Guide Maid)
-No, it''s alright. (Farah)
A maid who stands in the middle of the room claps her hand and shouts out loud.
-It''s enough! (Akuji)
The maid reassures the other''s maid and makes them resume working. I immediately realize the identity of the maid when she turns to me.
-Akuji! (Farah)
Akuji looks at me kindly and forms a warm smile on her face.
-Welcome back, my master. It''s great to see you safe and sound. (Akuji)
-Ehehehe~ (Farah)
At the same, I could hear the sound of a person kicking the door from behind me.
-Master? Masterrrrr! (Fifir)
Hana looks really annoyed at the current situation.
-That girl... (Hana)
-Hah! That one is a troublemaker like always. (Akuji)
I raise up from Hana''s arm and try to look through Hana''s back.
-Ohhh! (Fifir)
The one everyone called a troublemaker is a beast girl with pink hair. But the thing that impresses me most is the "asset" that she has on the top of her body.
-Umu... (Farah)
I look down at my flat chest and start comparing with me. I also looked around and confirmed with all the people inside the control room.
-They are growing, aren''t they...? (Farah)
My face turns red, and I immediately try to put that kind of thought away. No...What I mean is muscle! Not that..!
-Uwuuuuu... (Farah)
I feel like my thought has become more feminine since I turned into this body.
-You are thinking about complicated things again, master. (Hana)
Hana takes out a piece of candy from her pocket and places it in my mouth.
-Nommm~ (Farah)
I enjoy the sweetness of the candy and soon forget about the troublesome matter I was thinking about.
-Old hag! Where is master Farah? (Fifir)
Heh? Did I know her?
-Huh! (Fifir)
The girl finally notices my presence in Hana''s arms. She runs to my side with teary eyes.
-Master!!!!!!!! (Fifir)
Before that girl could touch me, Hana reaches out her hand and grabs the girl''s head.
-Auuuuu! Not my head, old hag! I want to pat master head and hug her. Release me now! (Fifir)
-You just leak your desire just now, 000! You need to train more to become a perfect maid. (Hana)
The girl growls and rebukes Hana.
-Who wants to become a maid? I am a soldier...Anyway, stop getting in my way! (Fifir)
Hana suddenly releases her hand. Because of that, the beast girl lost her momentum and fell to the ground. I can hear a loud noise of her face hitting the floor.
After a while, she raises up and shouts at Hana angrily.
-Hey! Don''t release me suddenly like that! (FIfir)
I look at her and laugh a little. I feel like the girl in front of me is so innocent.
-Master...Why do you laugh at my pain? (Fifir)
-Eh... (Farah)
I feel a little sorry for laughing like that. I cough and try to make a calm face.
-You...are? Have I seen you somewhere? (Farah)
The beast girl becomes startled by my sudden statement. Akuji, who stands behind the beast girl, can''t help but laugh out loud.
-Master doesn''t even remember you! (Akuji)
The girl comes close to me and puts her hand on me.
-Do you forget about me, master...? Woof... (Fifir)
That sound...and pink hair...Maybe she is...
-Fifir? (Farah)
The eyes of Fifir shined the moment I called her name. She took me away from Hana and hugged me.
-Finally, you remembered me, master! (Fifir)
I come to that conclusion because a friend of mine also can turn into a human form.
-Masterrrrrr! (Fifir)
Fifir hugs me tightly in her arms.
-Whew, you have arrived at the correct time, Fifir. Let''s start the meeting. (Hana)
-Alright, old hag. (Fifir)
Fifir carries me to a chair nearby; She sits down and faces against Hana while putting me on her lap.
-Akuji, please report the current situation. (Hana)
-Yes, head maid. (Akuji)
Then the giant screen in the room starts to change. I can see many maids fighting against wolf monsters on the big screen.
-The current is complete chaos, head maid. The pandemic has spread too fast. (Akuji)
-How fast is it? (Hana)
Akuji has a bitter face and answers her.
-Aside from the capital of Athor''s country, the disease has struck down every city. (Akuji)
-That sounds bad... (Hana)
-Right, the number of wolf monsters is uncountable. If not for us to push them back, they have already gone to the border and invaded other countries. (Akuji)
-Though It''s not the real reason you sent me an S.O.S message, right? (Hana)
-... (Akuji)
Akuji looks down and answers Hana.
-I''m sorry about that, head maid. But I don''t think we can stop them any longer. If this situation lasts for two more days, we will be wiped out completely. (Akuji)
-Hmm, that sounds troublesome. (Hana)
-But those wolves move strangely recently, head maid. (Akuji)
-Huh? What do you mean by that? (Hana)
-Please wait for me for a moment. (Akuji)
Akuji changes the screen again. The screen now is a map of a country.
-This is the map of the monster''s activity. We collect this information through drones and satellites. (Akuji)
Then Akuji points at the outer part of the map, which is yellow.
-Their activity of those monsters has reduced a lot compared to a few days ago. This area used to be a red area, which they used to be the most active. (Akuji)
Then Akuji points to the centre of the map, which has a bright red colour.
-But now they retreat around 2/3 of their number from the border to move deep inside the country. (Akuji)
-Hmm... (Hana)
-They keep wandering in these areas and decrease the attack on the border. It''s like...they are looking for something. (Akuji)
