Northwest Avenue.
Luxury residential area.
And a detached large stone house with a yard.
When these terms were combined, even a country bumpkin with no concept of Orario's property prices would know what it meant.
—A territory built out of gold coins.
Chloe's black cat ears on top of her head even flattened back into 'airplane ears'.
"Ryu..."
"Confess honestly, meow..."
"That favor..."
"It couldn't be that you did something to someone's young master, meow?"
Chloe leaned in, her nose almost pressing against Ryu's face, her black tail swishing restlessly behind her.
"To actually have to repay it by going to a place like that to be a maid?"
"That's Northwest Avenue!"
"Even a slightly famous Familia might not be able to afford a toilet there, meow!"
"Exactly."
Lunova also crossed her arms, looking at Ryu with a scrutinizing expression.
"Even though we all know you usually look serious, at your core, you're actually an idiot who easily gets stuck in a rut."
"And..."
Lunova pointed her finger at the maid outfit on Ryu that she hadn't had time to change out of yet.
"What's the deal with this?"
"Haven't you had enough of being a maid in the shop to pay off debts? You even go out to be a maid to return a favor?"
"Don't you know how to do anything else?"
"With your skills, wouldn't being a bodyguard for someone be better than wiping tables and sweeping floors?"
"Or rather..."
"Does the master of that house just like you wearing this?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Being double-teamed by their banter...
Ryu forced a stern face, attempting to muddle through with her usual cold demeanor.
Before the two could feel suspicious and continue their questioning...
"YOU THREE!!!"
A roar like a sudden clap of thunder abruptly exploded at the kitchen entrance.
"MEOW-OOOOH!!!"
Chloe's fur stood on end on the spot, terrified by this sudden shout.
Lunova also shuddered all over, her previous expression of watching a good show instantly collapsing, replaced by a face full of terror.
The two were like small animals hearing the roar of a natural enemy, stiffly turning their necks.
They saw...
The kitchen curtain was roughly pushed aside by a large hand.
—The owner of The Hostess of Fertility.
—The former Level 6 Great Adventurer who was famous throughout Orario, the "little giant," Miya Grandu.
At this moment...
She was holding a large soup ladle that was still dripping water, and her eyes flashed with a murderous glint sufficient to kill.
"Don't want to work anymore, is that it?!"
"It's early morning, the customers haven't even arrived yet, and you're all here chatting up a storm?"
"I think you're all itching for a beating!"
"Are the potatoes peeled?!"
"Are the tables wiped?!"
"Is the floor mopped?!"
"And you! Black Cat!"
Mia's large soup ladle pointed accurately at Chloe.
"The plates I told you to wash last night, why does it look like one is missing a corner?"
"Did you eat the plate as a midnight snack?!"
"No, I didn't, meow!!"
Chloe waved her hands frantically in fear, her tail tucked between her legs.
"That was an accident, meow! It really was just an accident, meow!!"
"Accident?!"
"If there's a next time, you'll be the accident!!"
"Why haven't you scrammed to get to work yet!!"
"YES!!!"
The two let out a synchronized scream of agony and then hurriedly rushed to their respective posts.
This was the deterrent power of Mama Mia.
"..."
