【Task System Update.】
【Task Name: Defeat Your Humiliating Maid with Determination】
【You cannot tolerate being disrespected by a maid, and you must immediately punish her with an iron fist.】
【Task Content: Defeat the White Dragon Maid Lilian (x)】
【Completion Reward: The system will activate the enhanced training function for you.】
【Please actively complete the task, or punishments will be imposed on you.】
Ron stared at the fork in front of him, momentarily puzzled. Defeat a dragon with a dining fork?
“Lilian… Miss Lilian,” Ron unexpectedly called out.
“I’m your maid. Just call me Lilian, Mr. Ron,” Lilian responded.
“Let’s arm wrestle,” Ron rolled up his sleeves, speaking seriously.
Lilian thought Ron must be out of his mind, “Mr. Ron, are you sure?”
“I’m sure,” Ron nodded.
“I understand,” Lilian nodded in response.
Following orders is part of a maid’s job. Even though Lilian didn’t consider Ron her master, she fulfilled his request.
“Are you ready?” Lilian, holding hands with Ron, asked considerately.
Ron remained silent. He couldn’t tell Lilian that he had started exerting force long ago.
“I have a proposal,” he tried to say, “How about you lose to me?”
Lilian looked disdainfully, “Mr. Ron, if this satisfies your desire for victory, I can concede.”
Now, she felt Ron’s suggestion was due to his annoying desire for victory.
Is this time traveler a bit naive?
She doubted whether Ron was qualified to bear the system of the Ten Sages. Although no one knew what the system looked like, all the dragon clans believed it to be a powerful weapon. After a powerful weapon fell into the hands of a useless person, saying that it didn’t feel unsettling in the heart was deceiving oneself.
“If you lose to me, I can tell you a story from a certain night of the Sixteenth Night,” Ron cleared his throat.
“What is that?” Lillian raised her eyebrows slightly.
“A maid.” Ron didn’t lie to Lilian about that. It indeed was a maid.
Lilian sighed wearily, then forcefully pulled Ron’s hand towards her right side.
“Bang!!!” A loud noise and the entire table shattered.
【Task System Update】
【Task Name: Defeat and Humiliate Your Maid】
【Although you won using despicable means, you did win.】
【Task: Defeat the White Dragon Maid Lilian (√)】
【Reward Completed: The system will now activate the enhanced training feature for you】
【When the time-traveler faces a similar challenge next time, use your true strength to achieve victory.】
Ron glanced at the text on the system screen and muttered, “You make it sound so easy; try winning against a dragon.”
Unaware of Ron’s muttering, Lilian stood up silently, stating, “You won. Now, let me hear if this is really worth it.”
Despite the cleanup, she gazed at Ron deeply, without a speck of sawdust on her. Though her current demeanor fit the role of a loyal maid, her opinion of Ron had hit rock bottom.
“In that case, I’ll start with a place called the Scarlet Devil Mansion,” Ron said mysteriously.
In the night, the estate felt colder than during the day. Even with a fireplace in the wooden house, strands of coolness persisted. Lilian cleaned up the mess she had made earlier. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Initially, she thought Ron was telling a story to pass the time, but the vivid portrayal made her doubt its authenticity. If true, that would indeed be a stylish maid. Lilian contemplated giving herself a similar hairstyle since her hair was also silver.
“Stopping time as an ability? Were there such powerful individuals in the original world of this time traveler?” She mused, not realizing the floor was already clean.
The White Dragon’s main ability was manipulating liquids unrelated to cheat-like time control. That would have been great if the person sent to the two-color world were the maid Ron mentioned.
She struck a chic pose, realizing that chic was about temperament, not just posture. She considered copying the maid’s hairstyle, understanding that chic was a matter of temperament.
“Good evening, Mr. Ron. Are you still awake to investigate the town?” She asked, looking at Ron askew.
“Or, do you still want to satisfy your desire for victory from me?” She looked at Ron askew.
“No… no…” Ron quickly shook his head. Investigating the town at this hour would be risky.
He wanted to see if Luna was still satisfied after hearing the maid’s story. Lilian seemed interested in the story of the legendary maid.
“You should go to bed early,” Lilian said. “You understand that you still have to continue investigating that town.”
Ron was sure that the dragon maid had no intention of helping him, so he sighed. Back in his room, about to extinguish the lights, he found Moluna sitting on his bed.
Oblivious to Ron’s return, Moluna remained expressionless, staring straight ahead.
“When are you going to return to normal?” Ron looked at Moluna helplessly.
He thought he would have to sleep on the floor but felt relieved, realizing he’d be in the wilderness without the dragon maid.
“Mr. Ron, don’t sleep on the floor. It would make me, as a maid, seem irresponsible.” Lilian suddenly appeared, carrying a small bed.
She placed the small bed on the ground, moving gracefully, “There’s enough wood here.”
After finishing, Lilian lifted her skirt and said, “If you need anything, please call me.”
Ron was amazed. Lilian seemed more versatile than he had imagined.
How did a dragon like her learn so many things from who knows where?
Before leaving, Lilian paused, pinched her skirt, and said, “Next time, please tell me more about that maid.”
Lilian’s favorability towards Ron increased slightly, possibly reaching a maximum of one hundred.
