Yusei helplessly held his forehead, 'Those were limited edition clothes, very expensive.'
But looking at Tohru's proud, chest-puffed-out posture, it was clearly impossible to get compensation from her. There was even a chance she might say, 'I'll get you all the clothes in this city, is that enough compensation?'
Tohru seemed to have ample talent for the maid profession. Yusei didn't know exactly what a maid was supposed to do, but it was was nothing more than household chores and the like.
This dragon girl from another world, just by looking at the contents of the maid magazine, quickly got into the swing of a maid's work, which pleased Yusei greatly.
Since his parents usually didn't come home for lunch, the three siblings typically ordered takeout. Sometimes Yusei would cook a couple of dishes.
But today, Tohru was here. Although Tohru still seemed somewhat displeased with Yusei, she patted her chest and assured Kanna that she was very skilled at cooking.
Yusei was deeply skeptical if she can really cook. After all, Tohru had only been in this world for a few hours.
But seeing Kanna nodding her little head excitedly along, he let Tohru handle the cooking.
'Kanna's appetite wouldn't lie, right?'
About half an hour later, Tohru, humming a little tune, brought a few plates of grilled meat to the dining table.
Yusei and Shiro looked at the meat with its strange shape and didn't reach for their chopsticks, while Kanna's eyes had already lit up and she started eating heartily.
Tohru, watching Kanna eat greedily, nodded in satisfaction, then smiled at Yusei, "Won't you eat, puny human? This is Tohru-sama's specially made tail meat!"
"Please remove the 'puny'. I am not small. Also, I have a name. I am Kazami Yusei, and my sister is Kazami Shiro."
Yusei sighed, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
"Huh? The taste is surprisingly good," Yusei said, surprised.
Tohru snorted, crossing her arms over her chest, "Of course! I am the genius of the dragon race. Cooking is a piece of cake."
Yusei nodded, ready to acknowledge it and reach for a second piece of meat, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Ah...!"
Yusei clutched his stomach and collapsed to the floor, startling Shiro.
"Nii?"
Kanna and Tohru also noticed. Kanna looked at Tohru anxiously.
"Tohru-sama, did you... poison him...?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Why would I poison a puny human?" Tohru glared at Kanna.
Yusei struggled against the intense pain in his stomach, looked at Tohru, and insisted, "Please remove the 'puny'. I am not small."
Kanna quickly began casting a healing spell, "This isn't the time for that!"
"No, this concerns a man's dignity," Yusei said firmly, shaking his head. At the same time, the Mangekyo in his left eye tried to rotate, searching for an ability that could resolve this situation.
But the problem was, among the copied abilities, there was none that could cure illness or restore his condition. He had no choice but to give up and wait for Kanna's healing.
Tohru sat to the side, watching boredly as Kanna healed Yusei, and sighed, "This is why humans are so fragile. Can't you even handle my tail meat?"
Hearing Tohru say this, Kanna also reacted.
"Tohru-sama's meat has strong toxicity. Although it can greatly enhance physical constitution, a human body cannot withstand that level of poison."
"And if the meat is processed using non-toxic methods, then it only has the effect of enhancing physical constitution."
At this point, Kanna silently looked at Tohru. The meaning was self-explanatory.
'Tohru-sama, you did that on purpose.'
Tohru hummed a tune, wearing her maid outfit and crossing her legs, "It's not my fault. I was just kindly trying to help strengthen his constitution. Who knew... tsk tsk tsk. But don't worry, I reduced the poison. For Kanna's sake, puny... Yusei, you won't die."
Yusei rolled his eyes, "Of course I know I won't die. But the stomachache is no fun. Also, your work evaluation for the first day is zero points."
"Huh?! Why? I followed the book's instructions very seriously!" Tohru was dissatisfied.
Yusei just snorted at this. It was just a small amount of poison, and with Kanna's healing, he recovered quickly.
He stood up, picked up the maid magazine, and pointed to one of the rules.
"See this? A maid must prioritize the master's safety. Not only did you fail to do that, you even poisoned me. Points deducted. Your score today is -100."
Tohru muttered under her breath, "Petty human."
Yusei glared at her, "If I were petty, someone like you would have been sent to the police station already. Would I still let you stay in my home?"
Hearing this, Tohru was momentarily taken aback, but she still looked around Yusei's house defiantly.
"It's not even as big as my cave. Feels about the same size as the toilet I dug."
"..." Yusei forced a smile, a vein throbbing on his forehead, "It seems Tohru-chan hasn't experienced society's harsh beating yet."
Tohru looked at Yusei, who was now burning with fighting spirit, with keen interest, "So you'll fight me now? I want to see if you truly have the strength to protect Kanna."
Kanna looked worriedly at Yusei. She knew Tohru's strength. Although she thought Yusei was also very strong, he was still far behind Tohru.
Yusei patted Kanna's little head and smiled, "Don't worry. I'll teach her a good lesson. Don't worry, I'll go easy on her."
Kanna, "..."
'That's not what I meant...'
Yusei snorted and looked at Tohru, whose mouth was starting to emit sparks, "Let's go, we'll meet at the Mongolian grasslands! I'm going to teach you a lesson until you become a qualified maid!"
"Who's afraid of you?!" Tohru met his gaze without backing down.
The two opened the door, ready to head out. But just then, the front door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The people returning were Yusei's parents.
They were startled to see the house so lively, especially with Tohru's presence, but then smiled, "Yusei, you've brought... a new friend home again!"
"Yeah, this girl is homeless, so Iadopted her as a maid."
Tohru glared at Yusei, "I am not homeless! My home was just blown up by those damned humans. I am a wanderer!"
Hearing this, the face of Yusei's parents twitched, 'Had we heard wrong? Damned... humans?'
