Chapter 52 - **Maid & Chocolate

Ren held a dress in his hand.

A uniform. A maid uniform—black, neatly tailored, paired with white stockings. The design dipped slightly near the chest, just enough to reveal what needed to be admired without crossing the line.

He blinked a few times, staring at it like it had just appeared out of nowhere. "…Really!?" His voice carried both confusion and a strange, unexplainable satisfaction.

His gaze shifted to the blue-haired girl. She was already looking at him, her eyes sparkling like stars. "Master… is this for me?" she asked softly, her voice filled with innocent excitement.

Ren froze. He wanted to say no—out of embarrassment, out of the fear that she'd misunderstand and think he had some weird taste, that he was a complete pervert.

But the words refused to come out.

Because of that face.

Those eyes practically shining at him.

How could anyone say no to that?

"…Yeah," he finally said, letting out a quiet breath, as if giving up on resisting his own fate. "It's yours."

And just like that, he handed her the dress.

After some moments passed, she changed into it.

When Ren's eyes fell on her, he was completely stunned, words stuck in his throat.

It was as if the dress had been made only for her—the stockings, the fit, the slight exposure near the chest—everything looked… perfect.

The blue-haired girl tilted her head slightly. "Master… am I not looking good?" she asked, noticing his reaction.

Ren, still frozen, suddenly felt warmth rush to his nose.

A faint nosebleed slipped out, and he quickly wiped it away with his sleeve, trying to act normal. "…It looks beautiful," he said quietly, still clearly stunned, giving a slow thumbs up.

Her eyes widened slightly before she gave a small, adorable reaction. "Oh…! Master, really?" Her expression softened, becoming even more charming.

---

After that, it didn't take long for them to head back to the hotel.

On the way, Ren and her talked a little, and among those conversations was her name. Ren realized, only now, that he hadn't even asked it before—nor had she asked his. It was a bit awkward at first, but the conversation flowed naturally after that.

Her name was Azure.

A name that represented the blue sky in different meanings—and it suited her perfectly, especially with her beautiful blue hair.

Along the way, Ren bought many things for a small feast—meat, chocolates, side dishes, and even some liquor to enjoy the night with everyone.

Even though he didn't like drinking much, he still bought it, remembering that Lucia was a lover of it.

It didn't take long before they finally reached the hotel where Ren and Lucia were staying.

BANG!

Ren opened the door with force, a smile already on his face as he stepped inside. "I'm back," he said casually, walking into the room.

But as always… that didn't last.

Lucia was sitting on the bed. Silent. She didn't even try to respond.

Ren's smile stiffened slightly. "…What's the deal?" he asked, a bit hesitant now.

No reply.

Her face turned slightly away, lips puffed into a pout. She was clearly angry.

Ren sighed and walked closer, scratching his cheek awkwardly. "Are you angry that I didn't come back last night? If so… I'm sorry about that," he said, his tone oddly similar to a husband trying to calm his upset wife.

Still nothing.

Not a single word.

Her eyes avoided him completely, as if he didn't even exist.

Ren's eyes narrowed slightly.

So that's how you wanna play…

A faint smile crept onto his face.

Fine… let's play that way then.

He slowly took out a liquor bottle from the bag he was carrying, filled with all sorts of stuff. Lifting it up, he gently shook it near her face.

"Guess you don't need this either," he said casually.

Lucia's eyes flickered.

Just for a moment.

They landed on the bottle.

But she quickly looked away again, trying to keep her act.

Ren noticed.

Oh? Still playing hard, huh…

His smile deepened slightly.

"Too bad then," he muttered, already opening the bottle.

Clack.

"Since I don't drink…"

He turned toward the window, lifting the bottle slightly.

"…guess I'll just throw it away."

He stepped closer to the window, tilting the bottle as if about to pour it outside.

Grab.

A hand suddenly shot out and stopped him.

Lucia.

"What are you doing… wasting such a delicacy!?" she said, her voice soft but rushed, clearly unable to hold back anymore.

Ren's lips curled slightly. He reached out and gently grabbed her chin, lifting her face just enough. "Oh? I thought you didn't want to talk to me," he said with a faint grin.

Lucia ignored that completely. She snatched the bottle from his hand and held it close, her cheeks slightly puffed. "Why would I?" she muttered, though her expression was saying the exact opposite.

Ren stared at her for a second.

…How can someone be this cute?

Lucia blinked once, then twice, then thrice.

Then suddenly, she raised a finger and pointed forward. "Who is she?"

Her gaze locked onto Azure, who was standing quietly nearby, still holding the bags Ren had brought.

Ren stiffened.

"She… is my maid," he said, letting out an awkward laugh. The last part came out much slower… almost like he didn't want anyone else to hear it.

Lucia's expression froze. "She is yours… what?"

"I said she's my maid," Ren repeated quickly, this time even faster, the last word nearly swallowed.

Lucia stared at him blankly. "Can you repeat—"

But before he could say anything—

Azure stepped forward.

With a small smile, she placed one hand over her chest and spoke proudly, her voice clear and confident, her movement causing a soft, noticeable jiggle that only made her presence more impossible to ignore.

"I am Master's loyal servant… till the end."

Lucia looked at him with a face full of questions, her brows slightly furrowed as she spoke, "Did she just say she's your maid?"

Ren scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Um… yeah," he replied, now the one avoiding eye contact.

Lucia's expression shifted immediately. "So… how did you get her? Don't tell me you did something like that to this poor girl," she said, a hint of disgust slipping into her voice.

"Of course not!" Ren shouted instantly, protesting with his whole heart. "What do you even think of me!?" he added, clearly offended.

Lucia didn't hesitate. "A psychopath with some basic instincts still working… a horny pervert who never misses his chance with women."

Those words hit.

Hard.

Way harder than they should have.

Ren froze for a second, the impact clear on his face—

—but before he could respond, Azure suddenly moved.

She dashed forward and wrapped her arms around him protectively, hugging him tightly as she looked at Lucia with determination.

"No… No one could badmouth my master!"

A faint blush appeared on Ren's face after seeing such devotion from such a cute girl toward him.

…I was wrong last night… she's such a gem…

For a moment, he felt like he could cry from that strange, unfamiliar happiness.

Lucia looked between them, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Really… what did you do to her?"

The conversation went on like that for a while, small misunderstandings piling up before everything was finally sorted out. Ren stretched lightly, rolling his shoulders as if shaking off the tension, then a bright smile spread across his face.

"Alright then—let's party."

Lucia immediately raised a liquor bottle high in the air, grinning. "Yeah! For Azu joining us!"

Ren blinked once, then again, his face going completely blank. "...Who are you referring to as Azu?"

Lucia pointed proudly toward the girl beside them. "That's the name I gave this little cutie."

Azure's cheeks turned slightly red at that, while Ren just stared for a second before shrugging. "Whatever… let's party for Azure joining us."

After a few moments, everything was set—food laid out, drinks ready, plates scattered around. The atmosphere shifted into something lighter, warmer, almost peaceful as they began indulging without restraint. Tasty food filled the table, rich flavors mixed with spicy Chinese dishes that looked dangerous but smelled irresistible.

Lucia was already busy drinking like there was no tomorrow, while Ren focused on his own plate, chewing on something ridiculously spicy—his favorite, even if it burned like hell… like it was going to burn just as much on the way out later.

CRUNCH

His expression twitched slightly. …Worth it.

Azure, on the other hand, sat quietly with a glass of orange juice in her hands, her gaze fixed entirely on Ren. Unmoving, focused—like he was the center of her world.

Ren noticed, of course. He raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter?"

Azure hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Master… don't you like drinking?"

Ren let out a small, awkward laugh and reached out to gently pat her head. "I don't drink… it's bad for health."

A simple excuse—but the effect was immediate.

Azure's eyes lit up, sparkling with pure admiration. "Master… you really are so cool…"

Ren blinked once. …Somehow, that turned into a flex?

Before he could even process it, Lucia cut in mid-drink, laughing. "Don't listen to him. He just can't handle liquor."

She paused just long enough to smirk, her tone dripping with mockery. "Zero tolerance."

Ren's eye twitched.

…Why you!…

In that heat, Ren gobbled multiple chocolates at once, barely even chewing.

Lucia crossed her arms and smirked. "See? He's embarrassed now."

Azure stepped forward slightly, a soft smile on her face. "Master… don't worry, I believe you."

Ren froze for a moment, then—

…Really… this type of girl… this is everything I could ever ask for… she's like a goddess…

Happiness flooded his mind.

But then—

His head suddenly grew dizzy, the world around him starting to spin as his vision blurred and tilted uncontrollably, like everything was slipping out of place all at once.

Ren blinked, frowning. "What's… happening…?"

His breathing slowly grew heavier, his face turning red as heat spread through his body.

Lucia's expression shifted. "Are you okay…? Hey, Ren?"

But Ren didn't answer properly.

"Haa… haa…"

His breaths came out rough, uneven, his body heating up unnaturally.

Azure stepped closer in panic. "Master!? Are you alright!?"

Lucia narrowed her eyes, staring at him.

…What's wrong with him…? Why is his face so red… like he's drunk…

Then suddenly—

It clicked.

"Wait… those—!"

Her voice carried a faint trace of worry, growing with every second.

The chocolates Ren ate… weren't normal.

"…Shit."

Azure looked at her, confused. "What happened?"

Lucia forced out a stiff smile. "Nothing. We should… all go to sleep now. Yeah… right now."

She turned quickly, clearly trying to avoid something, but—

Azure frowned. "Wait, what do you mean—?"

Too late.

Ren suddenly moved.

He grabbed Lucia's hand and pulled her in, closing the distance instantly, his movements unstable and uncontrolled.

She lost her balance—

—and in the next moment, she was knocked to the ground.

Ren followed, ending up over her.

He grabbed both of Lucia's hands with one of his, gripping them tightly despite the awkward angle, his strength rough and unsteady.

Lucia struggled, panic flashing across her face. "No—not now… Azure is here—"

But it was useless.

Ren wasn't listening.

Whatever restraint he had—was already gone.

The heat coursing through his body had completely taken over, his thoughts blurred, his actions driven purely by instinct. Those liqueur chocolates… even if they barely contained any alcohol, it was enough—more than enough—for someone like him.

Lucia was about to say something, but before the words could leave her lips, Ren suddenly pulled her in, closing the distance in a single, abrupt motion. Her breath caught—

Then their lips met—like it had already happened countless times before.

It wasn't gentle.

It was dominant.

Ren's tongue slipped into her mouth, and she responded instantly—no hesitation, no resistance. Their tongues tangled, twisting around each other as their breaths grew heavier.

The kiss deepened.

Neither of them pulled away.

Their tongues continued to coil together, slow… intense… consuming.

Finally, they broke apart.

Lucia spoke between uneven breaths, her face flushed, her body burning.

"We can't… do it here… Azure is here…"

Her voice was soft, embarrassed.

Azure stood there silently, watching the entire scene—her own face completely red.

But Ren was in no mood or condition to listen to her.

Without a warning, he pulled off her clothes along with her bra with his hands, revealing her busty boobs.

She said, "What are you doing? Not now!"

No use, Ren continued without a flinch; he sucked those giant boobs of her like a baby.

A soft moan left her mouth.

But it didn't bother him; his hands moved near her crotch, rubbing her with his fingers all over.

While the moans from Lucia's mouth kept getting heavier and heavier.
