Satou saw that she was truly pitiful, so he handed her a fragrant pork and cabbage roll and said, "Do you want to eat?"
Smelling the rich aroma of the food, Elma hesitated for a moment, then finally took it and bit into it.
Biting into the sweet cabbage, hot meat juice flowed out, so delicious that her tongue trembled, wishing she could swallow her own tongue.
"It's truly delicious! Is the food in this world so amazing?"
Elma's face showed an expression of intoxication, her blue fish tail wagging slightly, then she looked at Satou with somewhat complex eyes and said, "Or rather, does this mortal possess such amazing cooking skills?"
"Do you want juice?"
Kanna kindly handed her a glass of juice.
"Thank you."
Elma, who had drunk the juice in one gulp, regained her vitality, then stood up and said, "Alright! Let's continue our fight to the death, Tor-daren!"
Tor-daren said nothing, silently handing her a plate of pork and cabbage rolls and saying, "If you're willing to leave, this whole plate is yours."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.
Elma looked at the plate of pork and cabbage rolls, saying nothing.
After a while.
"Then, excuse me!"
She took the plate of food and happily ran out.
Satou: "..."
Are dragon brains really that simple?
Then it was another leisurely day.
To make up for always not having time to spend with Tor-daren and Kanna, Satou took them out to play all day.
Then, in the evening, Satou, as usual, went to work at the snack shop with Tor-daren and Kanna.
Satou held Tor-daren's left hand and Kanna's right hand; from behind, they looked quite like a family of three.
"Hum hum hum, la la la. Washing clothes, wiping floors. Cursing humans, destroying Earth, la la la."
Tor-daren hummed her self-composed song with nonsensical lyrics, clearly in a good mood.
Because Satou had spent the whole day playing with them for the past two days, which made her very happy.
Kanna also held Satou's big hand, wearing the sunflower children's clothes Satou bought for her, and was humming something as well.
"Hum hum hum, killing humans, destroying cities."
Tor-daren's cute face was filled with a smile, but then, her smile slowly faded, and her pupils turned icy cold.
She suddenly stopped and then said in a deep voice, "Elma, come out!"
"Huh? Didn't that guy leave?"
Satou was surprised; didn't that silly Dragon Maid take a plate of food and leave contentedly?
Could it be that she was still lingering here like a ghost?
"Let's duel, Tor-daren! I'm taking you away!"
Indeed, the next moment, Elma jumped out from the street and said in a deep voice.
However, as soon as she came out, her stomach rumbled.
Satou: "... ..."
Is this guy, again, not eaten for a day?
Looking at the dragon girl whose face was flushed, Satou suddenly asked, "I say, you wouldn't be unable to go back, would you?"
"Eh? No... no, of course not!"
Elma immediately stammered, looking elsewhere, clearly very guilty.
"Dragons of the Harmony Faction do not have the ability to travel between worlds."
At this moment, Kanna mercilessly exposed her.
Elma: "... ..."
"Then how did you come to this world?"
Satou couldn't help but ask.
"That... that's because I came through the gate Kanna opened."
Elma said with her head lowered and her face flushed.
"So, you haven't eaten for another day? And you don't have a place to stay either?"
Satou was speechless for a moment, first it was the hero Yusa Emi, and now it's a dragon.
If the people of this world knew that there were so many creatures capable of destroying this world staying here, they would probably be scared to death, right?
"So, what are your plans now?"
Satou asked.
"I, I don't know."
Elma said in a low voice, no longer having the powerful aura of "I want to save the world" from before, instead resembling a lost puppy.
At this moment, Satou finally realized how good Yusa Emi was; at least she knew to find a job and rent a house herself, so he didn't have to worry.
"Then do you have any skills?"
Satou asked.
Speaking of this, Elma regained her vitality, "I will kill evil creatures that invade this world and prevent this world from being destroyed..."
As she spoke, her stomach growled again.
Satou: "... ..."
Even if you can prevent the world from being destroyed, you can't fill your stomach with that, can you?
"Then... can you work as a maid?"
Satou asked.
"No problem! I will definitely become a qualified maid!"
Elma's eyes lit up, and she added, "As long as there's food. Delicious food like this morning."
"That won't do!"
Tor-daren was the first to express her dissatisfaction. In her opinion, she was Satou's only maid, and she would never allow another dragon to steal her position!
"It's fine, she's just working as a waitress in the small shop."
Satou said.
"Then... alright."
Only then did Tor-daren reluctantly agree.
"However, you can't wear these clothes, can you?"
Satou said.
Although many customers now thought his snack shop was a maid-themed restaurant, her attire was too unconventional.
"That's not a problem."
Elma's scales moved, and then she transformed into a maid outfit similar to Tor-daren's, with a blue fishtail trailing behind her, resembling a mermaid.
Subsequently, Satou and the three dragons arrived at the snack shop.
"Oh, Tor-daren is here again?"
"Kanna-chan, nice to see you again! Come here for a hug!"
The customers all liked these two cosplaying girls. Of course, this was because they were unaware of Tor-daren and Kanna's true identities.
"Oh, there's another girl. Is she also here to work?"
A customer noticed Elma and asked curiously.
"Mhm."
Satou nodded.
On the other side, Yusa Emi also arrived outside Satou's small shop on time, ready to monitor the Demon King's actions.
Then, she saw Elma.
Elma could deceive ordinary people, but she couldn't deceive her.
"Another demon dragon! Sure enough, is the Demon King secretly recruiting forces, preparing to use the snack shop as a base to gradually occupy this world?"
Yusa Emi's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, muttering to herself.
