?Holidays always passed by very quickly. After casually lazing around in the dorm for a few days, it was time for school to start again.

  ?Yawning, Loren was woken up by Lola. After a few days of adaptation, this newly acquired little maid had mostly gotten used to taking care of Loren's daily life.

  ?And through these few days of simple interaction, Loren had more or less figured out his maid's personality. He knew this girl belonged to the type that was incredibly easy to coax. Like the time he made Lola cry, Loren only spent two gold coins to make the little one's grievances vanish into thin air.

  ?This morning, Lola was finally able to make a simple ham and egg sandwich. After eating breakfast and urging the little maid to finish a glass of milk, Loren sluggishly changed into his uniform.

  ?Lola practically pinched her nose while drinking the milk. It seemed she had never drunk the stuff before and was somewhat resistant to it. After finishing the milk, she immediately went to wash the dishes. Only after finishing the cleaning did she walk out with a reluctant expression under Loren's urging. Looking at Loren waiting by the door, she couldn't help but complain, "You're the one going to class, why do I have to go too?"

  ?Just last night, she had downloaded a highly-rated anime on the tablet. She had been happily thinking that after Loren left the house, she could flip things around and become the master while home alone. But to her surprise, this Loren actually wanted to drag her along just to attend class.

  ?Loren glanced at her, "Didn't you want to learn magic? The class I'm going to is a magic class."

  ?Hearing this, Lola finally mustered some interest: "So if I go and listen, will I be able to learn magic?"

  ?"Of course..."

  ?Just as a smile surfaced on Lola's face, Loren drew out the vowel, and then followed it up with two words: "...not."

  ?"Would it kill you to finish your sentence in one breath?"

  ?Lola raged inwardly, feeling the urge to bite Loren.

  ?Seeing the maid looking so angry yet having to maintain a smile made Loren feel incredibly comfortable inside.

  ?"If that's the case, then what's the point of me going to class with you?"

  ?Lola said with a pout.

  ?"Of course there's a point."

  ?This time, Lola just looked at Loren with a 'hehe' expression, waiting for him to finish his sentence. Seeing that she didn't take the bait, Loren felt a bit disappointed, but still said, "At the very least, you being there will make me happy. It would be very boring to have no maid to tease during class."

  ?"!!!"

  ?Hearing this, Lola couldn't help but glare at him. Is my only purpose just for you to tease? Are you actually going there to learn, or to tease me? Haven't you teased me enough at home... Lola felt she had gotten angry at Loren more times in the past few days than she had in the several years before she met him.

  ?If this world had a setting where a rage meter could be used to unleash an ultimate move, Lola could probably conquer the world unrivaled just by bringing Loren along. There would be absolutely no need to intentionally build up the rage meter; just looking at Loren's smiling face would make it shoot up rapidly.

  ?..

  ?Upholding the noble principle of "sharing hardships and enjoying blessings alone," Loren forcefully dragged the maid to school.

  ?As they walked into the campus, Lola, dressed in a black-and-white maid outfit, naturally attracted the gazes of a large wave of girls. A few busty girls even deliberately walked past Loren just to closely observe the exquisite, porcelain doll-like little Lola. The turbulent waves bouncing on the girls' chests made Loren's eyes go straight. If I had known bringing a maid had this kind of perk, I definitely wouldn't have waited until a few days ago to get one.

  ?Of course, besides the busty girls, a huge wave of students also cast gazes filled with various emotions at Loren—some envious and jealous, others disdainful and disgusted.

  ?Loren accepted all of this calmly. He naturally wasn't the type of person who cared much about others' gazes.

  ?Lola, on the other hand, was extremely nervous the whole way. Being scrutinized by various gazes made her feel very uncomfortable; she had never experienced being exposed to so many human eyes at once.

  ?Then, she instinctively moved closer to Loren, reaching out a small hand to grab the corner of his shirt.

  ?Loren noticed her little movement and couldn't help but reveal a smiling expression. However, he didn't say anything more, letting Lola grab his shirt corner and trail behind him.

  ?After entering the teaching building, those gazes that made Lola uncomfortable finally decreased significantly.

  ?Elemental Magic Department, Year 1 Class A. At this time, quite a few students had already gathered in the classroom. Because class hadn't started yet, students who were close to each other gathered together to chat.

  ?"Hey, did you guys watch the new anime that aired a few days ago?"

  ?"One-Punch Mage? Oh, that one's good. I read the manga a long time ago... Let me tell you, the later plot goes like this..."

  ?"Spoilers deserve death!"

  ?However, before that student could finish, he was pinned to the ground by several people and beaten up.

  ?No matter the world, spoiler-droppers are the public enemy of the people.

  ?After having his butt kicked on the ground by several people, the student climbed up looking disheveled and depressed. I clearly just wanted to share joy with you guys, but you treated me so ruthlessly. This ship of friendship is truly too unstable.

  ?Right at this moment, Loren walked in through the door with his little maid.

  ?"Good morning, everyone."

  ?Loren cheerfully greeted his classmates. Ignoring their expressions as if they had seen a ghost, he took his maid straight to his seat and sat down.

  ?"Gulp..."

  ?Although the students of Class A were all geniuses, they were also teenagers going through their chunibyo phase and were deeply poisoned by anime at this moment. Upon seeing Lola wearing a maid outfit looking like she had stepped right out of a 2D world, the eyes of several male students practically stopped moving.

  ?"S-so cute..."

  ?"I-is that a maid outfit? My mom never lets the servants at home wear that kind of clothing. Once, I secretly got a maid sister to wear a maid outfit, and when my mom came home, she slapped my dad."

  ?"Kuso... Where did that bastard Loren find such a top-tier demon maid? His luck is too good!" Several otaku mages huddled together muttering, their gazes toward Loren carrying a hint of murderous intent.

  ?Lola obediently followed behind Loren until she saw him sit down at his desk.

  ?"Where do I sit?"

  ?Seeing Loren take up the seat in the back, Lola paused and asked.

  ?"How about... you sit on my lap?"

  ?Loren thought for a moment and said.

  ?Lola instantly looked at him with the gaze reserved for a pervert.

  ?"Forget it, I won't tease you. Isn't there still an empty seat next to me? Just sit there," Loren patted the seat beside him and said.

  ?"But shouldn't there be someone next to you?"

  ?"Ah, originally there was, but later there wasn't," Loren said casually.

  ?"Why?"

  ?"Because I came."

  ?Loren said.

  ?"???"

  ?"It's not just the seat you're taking. The people in front of me, behind me, and over here all moved away, hehe," Loren said with a smile.

  ?Lola widened her eyes. She instinctively felt something was wrong.

  ?"Why did they move away?"

  ?"Uh... could it be because I'm too handsome, causing them to feel sad and sorry for the audience's eyes, so they moved away?"

  ?As soon as Loren finished speaking, he instantly received a barrage of eye rolls.

  ?"Hehe!"
