Chapter 145: This really sucks.
"Anyway..." Mark cleared his throat with a cough and tried to get things back on track. "About giving you some of my maids, I don’t think that’s doable."
He explained his contract with them, and how they only answer to him. The maids provided him with much needed combat strength and it was crucial to have them by his side to ensure his progress wouldn’t stall. There was also the problem with the conditions he has to meet before he’s able to summon new maids. Those made it difficult to consider landing them to others, even if he wanted to.

"I’m not even sure how it works." Mark shook his head.

"So... did you make up your mind or..."
He was hoping she would give it a break now that it was clear getting her own maids was out of the question.
"I... What’s the point..." The illustrator let out another sigh.
"If you hadn’t forgotten yet, the world is literally ending as we speak. It would be for the best if you make it quick."
