Chapter 146: “Second Miss, Please Have Your Meal.”

“Second Miss, shall I polish your shoes for you?”

“Second Miss, the bed has been prepared. You may nap peacefully now. I will stand guard at the door without ever leaving your side to ensure your safety.”

“Second Miss, is there anything else you require? Please feel free to command me.”

“Aaaahhh! Stop calling me Second Miss already!
Why do you keep doing that? My head hurts!”

Su Xiao Zi clutched her head with both hands,
elbows planted firmly on the dining table,
her face covered in thick black lines of exasperation.

Ever since Butterfly Night returned from her mission,
the first thing she did was change into a full butler uniform.
From that moment on, she had addressed Su Xiao Zi exclusively as “Second Miss,”
her attitude impeccably respectful and deferential —
to the point that Su Xiao Zi felt completely at a loss.

“Then how would Second Miss prefer this humble servant to address you?”

“First — drop the formal language.
Stop putting yourself down.
And just call me by my name: Su — Xiao — Zi.
If you want, you can even call me Xiao Zi.
Got it?”

“Understood, Second Miss. Very well, Second Miss.”

“You—!”

Su Xiao Zi pressed a palm to her forehead,
staring at Butterfly Night standing there with perfect posture, precise movements, and an utterly serious expression.
For a moment she was so exasperated she actually laughed.

It was hard to tell whether Butterfly Night was genuinely enthusiastic about role-playing
or if she was completely serious.
At first Su Xiao Zi thought it was just part of her quirky personality,
but the longer it went on, the more it started feeling… real.

Still — Butterfly Night did look surprisingly convincing in the butler uniform.
Like a young, capable head butler:
sharp, valiant, mature, and composed.
Those unique azure eyes sparkled like gemstones.

Except—

When Su Xiao Zi’s gaze shifted to the baseball cap still perched firmly on top of her head,
the entire dignified atmosphere shattered instantly.

“If you’re really going to be a butler,
what’s with that cap?
I’ve never seen a butler wearing a baseball cap.”

“Ah… um…”

She had expected Butterfly Night to simply take it off.
Instead, the girl fell into visible hesitation.
Noticing this, Su Xiao Zi immediately grew curious and pressed:

“Why do you always insist on wearing that cap?
Even indoors.
It’s not like it’s a sun hat.”

“B-Because… if I take it off…”

If I take it off?
Will a pitch-black Dark Flame Dragon awaken from its seal?
Will you lose control of your Evil Eye of the True King?

“No, no! It’s something far more terrifying than that.”

At this point, Butterfly Night’s expression darkened noticeably.
Her tone turned grave.
Su Xiao Zi blinked in surprise,
then immediately adopted a serious, attentive listening posture.

“So what exactly is—?”

“Second Miss, this is a secret I’m only telling you.
You must never tell anyone else.
No third person in this world can ever know.”

Butterfly Night leaned in close to Su Xiao Zi’s ear
and whispered mysteriously:

“Actually…
if I take the cap off, my hair will fall down!
And re-tying it afterward is such a hassle!”

Su Xiao Zi’s eyes narrowed instantly.
She stared at Butterfly Night with an indescribable expression —
like someone who had just heard the world’s lamest cold joke.
She wanted to laugh but couldn’t quite manage it.

Seeing this reaction, Butterfly Night panicked.
She hurriedly tugged the brim of her cap lower,
blushing slightly as she added:

“It’s true!
I really can’t take it off.
I’m used to always wearing the cap anyway…”

“Ohhh — I see.
But honestly, if you let your hair down,
I think you’d look like a total beauty, Little Night.
Those azure eyes and hair —
it’d be like staring at real mountains and rivers.”

“I’m… not really comfortable with my hair down…
I think keeping this cool, handsome look is fine.
It doesn’t get in the way during fights either.”

Butterfly Night scratched her cheek nervously with one finger.
Su Xiao Zi’s obvious curiosity about her with hair down
was making her feel strangely pressured.

Su Xiao Zi studied her for a moment longer.
She recalled the image of Butterfly Night in battle —
that blue short jacket draped over her shoulders,
the dashing silhouette.
Yeah… it really did look pretty cool.

Then she said:

“In that case, no helping it.
Just keep doing whatever makes you comfortable, Little Night.”

“Yes, Second Miss!
Is there anything else you require?”

“So stop calling me Second Miss already!
Oh, right —
if you have any free time outside of missions,
could you go buy another box of ice cream for Tina?
I checked the freezer this morning —
stock’s running low.”

At the mention of her name,
Tina — who had been sitting quietly in her chair —
gave a small jolt of her shoulders.
She lowered her head guiltily,
then slipped off the chair
and walked over to stand in front of Su Xiao Zi.

“Little Tina, don’t worry.
You can have as much ice cream as you want.
But in winter, shops that still sell it get rare,
so stocking up now is smart.”

“I’m sorry, Big Sis Xiao Zi.”

Suddenly, Tina grabbed the hem of her own shirt
and yanked it upward in one swift motion —
exposing her tight, smooth midriff and abdomen.
The fabric lifted all the way to just below her chest,
revealing her small, perfect navel completely to the open air.

Both Su Xiao Zi and Butterfly Night were startled.
Butterfly Night even stumbled backward a few steps.

“W-W-W-What’s wrong, Little Tina?!
What happened?!
Why are you lifting your shirt?!”

“Evran told me…
when apologizing, you have to show your stomach.
It’s the basic etiquette between people.
Tina also wants… to engage in the necessary level of social interaction.”

“Don’t listen to Evran teaching you weird stuff like that!
She’s a lewd loli!
Everything she teaches you is definitely not proper!
You’re way too innocent and easy to fool!
And why are you apologizing anyway, Little Tina?”

Su Xiao Zi’s cheeks flushed faintly.
Looking at the pure, innocent Little Tina exposing her flawless white stomach right in front of her,
her heart beat faster with a thump-thump-thump.
For a moment she didn’t know where to look.

“Because Tina ate ice cream too quickly.
Tina will restrain herself better from now on.
Tina is a humanoid weapon —
she should possess self-control far beyond human limits.
But recently… Tina has failed to do so.”

Su Xiao Zi let out a helpless sigh
and reached out to gently pat Tina’s head.

“It’s fine, really.
It’s such a small thing —
no need to apologize.
Put your shirt down first, okay?
Seriously… Evran just loves bullying innocent kids.
I’ll have to give her a serious talking-to later.”

In Su Xiao Zi’s little sister kingdom,
Evran was the mischievous troublemaker
who loved teasing the other two sisters.
As the big sister, of course she had to mediate.

Though honestly, Su Xiao Zi wasn’t confident she could actually rein in the lewd loli.
She’d never dealt with this type of girl before —
sometimes she ended up completely helpless herself.

“Wait!”

Butterfly Night suddenly rushed in front of Tina,
reached out,
and began touching her exposed stomach —
even giving it a gentle squeeze.
With a face full of satisfaction, she exclaimed:

“Oooohhh! So soft!
So cute—”

“Hey! Butler!
When did you turn into a per— (meow) —vert?!”

Su Xiao Zi shouted at the top of her lungs.
