OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

"Shalltear has become a maid, huh!" Aura looked at Pestonya thoughtfully.

"This punishment must be very hard for Shalltear," she said.

"Peroroncino-sama instructed me to let you trouble Shalltear," Pestonya replied.

"Why would Peroroncino-sama want me to trouble Shalltear?" Aura murmured.

Although Shalltear often liked to tease Aura, she didn't actually want to cause trouble for her.

"Peroroncino-sama told me it's to train Shalltear's control over her blood frenzy," Pestonya explained.

"Peroroncino-sama really thinks things through. This punishment will help Shalltear control her blood frenzy. It's a win-win situation," Aura agreed.

"Pestonya, from now on, make sure Shalltear delivers my meals. I want to have some fun teasing her."

Soon it was mealtime for Aura. The task of delivering food, which was previously assigned to Pestonya, was now taken over by Shalltear, disguised as a maid.

Shalltear pushed the cart slowly towards Aura, who was waiting at her seat.

"You're so slow today!" Aura grumbled.

"That annoying little dwarf," Shalltear thought, her anger ignited by Aura's complaint, but she showed no outward sign of it.

"What did you make today?"

"Hamburgers!" Shalltear replied.

"Hmm? The previous maid, Pestonya, would always call me 'Aura-sama.'"

"That annoying little dwarf," Shalltear muttered through gritted teeth.

"Don't want to call me that? Are you even a qualified maid?"

"A-Aura...s-sama... today's meal is hamburgers," Shalltear said, each word dripping with annoyance.

"That sounds so stiff. Say it again," Aura demanded.

Shalltear squeezed the cart handle so tightly it began to bend. Aura, noticing Shalltear's unwillingness, spoke up.

"I remember not long ago, the two Supreme Beings fought with Shalltear, the Guardian of the first floor. As a vampire, Shalltear was even mind-controlled and attacked her own Supreme Being. Such a disgrace for a Guardian."

Hearing this, Shalltear, who was on the verge of exploding, calmed down.

Ahem.

"Aura-sama, today's meal is the hamburger you requested, with two servings of Western-style pickles, fried potato wedges with skin, and a drink of cola."

Shalltear smoothly recited the standard maid speech, which impressed even Aura, who knew Shalltear's personality well.

"But I don't feel like eating hamburgers today. Take it back and have the chef make curry rice instead!" Aura ordered.

Shalltear's anger flared again when she heard this.

"That damn hamburger is what you had the chef make, and now you're saying you don't want it. Go eat shit!" Shalltear screamed inwardly. But she didn't say it aloud. If it were any other time, Shalltear would have acted by now. But after these days of being a maid, her tolerance had improved.

"Okay," Shalltear replied, forcing a fake smile at Aura.

As Shalltear was about to walk away, Aura suddenly spoke up.

"Wait, I changed my mind. I want it again."

"Fine!" Shalltear said, gritting her teeth as she smiled at Aura.

Aura stifled her laughter, covering her mouth.

Normally, it was Shalltear who teased Aura, but this was the first time Aura got to tease Shalltear, and it felt... refreshing.

Just as Shalltear took a few steps, Aura spoke again.

"I don't want it after all. Let's have curry rice instead!"

Shalltear squeezed the other handle of the cart until it shattered into pieces. She fought the urge to shove the cart in Aura's face and turned to leave.

"Wait, I think I might want to eat again."

"Go eat shit!" Shalltear snapped, her anger rising.

"The saddest thing in life is being attacked by the NPCs you created. Does Shalltear know how much pain Peroroncino-sama must feel?" Aura commented.

"Huh? What did you just say?" Aura pretended not to hear and asked Shalltear.

"I said, Aura-sama, you should let the chef know what you want to eat earlier. If you miss the meal time, it's not good," Shalltear answered.

"Mm, that makes sense. I'll have the hamburger today," Aura said.

Shalltear pushed the cart in front of Aura.

"Huh? Why is this cart missing a handle? It's broken."

Shalltear immediately crushed the other handle into fragments.

"You're mistaken. The cart doesn't have handles," Shalltear said.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Never mind. Help me tie the napkin around me."

"You... fine," Shalltear replied, though she wanted to say, "Don't you have hands?" but held back.

As Shalltear slowly tied the napkin around Aura, she couldn't help but think about strangling Aura with her hands right there and then.

Once the napkin was tied, the two stood still.

"Feed me," Aura suddenly ordered.
