Chapter 1478 - 999: Asking Me to Be a Consultant? (The Cat Strives Hard to Lose Weight by Rolling Around)
Duanmu Huai wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with being served by maids. In the Tribunal, he had maid puppets, Audrey, who wasn’t a full-time maid anymore, and even maid demon beasts. However, those were professionals. They worked seamlessly—they would smile warmly, brew fine tea, serve meals, manage everything perfectly.
Of course, strictly speaking, maids were really just for brewing tea, serving water, making beds, and tidying up.
But Naruse Mio’s maid scenario was a fresh experience for Duanmu Huai—after all, she wasn’t a professional. On top of that, Banriya had purposely chosen a maid outfit so short it barely stopped at the thighs; any bold motion might result in exposure. This left Naruse Mio visibly uncomfortable—blushing fiercely, fidgeting endlessly, reluctant and yet compelled to perform her tasks. By conventional standards, she was clearly an unqualified maid.
But did Duanmu Huai truly expect professional maid standards from her? Watching a beautiful girl dressed in an exposed maid outfit flush red with embarrassment, moving cautiously with shame written all over her face—it counted as a perk of its own.
It wasn’t until Mio changed back into her school uniform for class that she finally exhaled a sigh of relief.
Well, judging by her demeanor, she’d likely change back again after school... Oh, forget it. Since Mio thought this made her feel better, Duanmu Huai decided to let her do as she pleased. After all, he understood the old saying, "Kindness for a grain, resentment for a bucket."
As a PE teacher, Duanmu Huai didn’t have much to do. After arriving at the office and glancing over the class schedule to confirm his upcoming lessons, he was ready to find a place to slack off—a favorite pastime of his—when another teacher stopped him.
"Ah, Teacher Duanmu."
"Hmm? What’s up?"
"The principal wants to see you."
"The principal? All right, I got it."
