THAT NIGHT
"We are stuck here, what are we going to do?" Mello grunted in frustration.
Levi sat beside Hina who kept on staring at him.
"Isn't he cute?" Hina announced.
"Well, everyone is cute during their early days," Mello replied."
"You guys are a lot of trouble," Levi sighed.
"Toddlers should use abusive language or you will get spanked," Daisy said laughingly.
Just then they heard a sound from downstairs. They slowly went to check the commotion. To their horror, it was the same succubus Liath.
"What the hell is he doing here? Levi said shocked.
"Well, I don't think she's interested in young boys," Daisy replied.
"Levi. Oh, Levi! Where are you? Your soulmate has come to take you back," Liath said.
"I don't care what you guys do but don't let her see me," Levi begged.
"Where's that wizard?" Mello said.
"I have an idea to deal with this situation," Daisy announced.
"As long as it doesn't involve me… I'm fine," Levi replied.
Daisy smirked and grabbed Levi's hand.
"Da… sy. What are you planning?" Hina asked.
"Yes, I need you too," saying that Daisy grabbed Hina's hand too and stood before Liath.
"Oh! Here you are. Where is Levi?" Liath asked.
"I'm sorry to say this but forgive me. This child you see is Levi's son,' Daisy said pointing at Levi.
What the hell is she doing?
Liath's face turned horrified.
"Your poor maiden's heart is broken but no problem you can run back to the woods and cry to your fill," Daisy said.
"But… but he appeared to have no prior experience," Liath said.
"Well, he's a man with a lot of different talents but he sucks at magic," Daisy replied.
Wait, looks like it's helping.
"Who is his wife?" Liath asked.
Daisy turned towards Hina who was standing beside her, 'She… she is."
"You little witch, I will destroy you here," Liath shouted.
This is not helping at all.
"What have you done… Daisy," Levi shouted while Hina turned her best to defend herself from Liath.
Just then the wizard he room. "May I know what's happening in my mansion?"
He entered at the right time.
"Wait, I forgot to turn you normal," saying that the wizard chanted something and Levi was back to his 17-year-old self.
"Noooooooooo, what have you done," Levi shouted in frustration.
Liath came running towards him while Hina blocked her with ice magic.
"Here you are, I thought I have lost you forever," Liath said.
"Well, I feel like getting lost," Levi replied.
"Let's head towards our last game and you young lady will join us," the wizard said.
Where is Mello? I haven't seen her for a while.
"Your time is over old man," Mello jumped over from the 2 floors with a small lamp. She rubbed it and the next moment both the wizard and Liath disappeared.
"Where are they?' Daisy asked.
"I have teleported them deep into the forest. We have enough time to leave this place before both of them return," Mello replied.
All of them let out a sigh of relief.
With the help of teleporting magic, they returned back to the adventurers' guild in one piece.
They were awarded half the reward as the wizard wasn't fully eliminated. After collecting the reward they sat around a table and ordered food.
"Half the reward is better than no reward," Hina said.
"Well, our lives are miserable," Mello replied.
"Why are you shivering… Levi?" Daisy asked.
"Thinking about that succubus is giving me chills," Levi answered.
"Looks like she hit you hard in the head," Hina said.
"Whatever, I'm not entering forests or abandoned places again," Levi announced.
"Then, you are going to die poor," Mello reminded.
"Earning money is such a tough job," Daisy said in a low voice.
"It never was," Elmer said, coming inside. He sat opposite Levi. "But since the harvest festival is coming I'm planning to open a maid coffee restaurant believe it or not none of the seats remain empty."
"Is that because of the coffee?" Levi asked.
"How innocent of you, it's because of the maids," Elmer replied. "So, wanna work for me? I will double for you guys."
"No thanks," the three girls replied in unison.
"Come on, we can earn extra money even without any trouble," Levi said.
"Levi… if you want you can join. After all, you have a cute face which will surely attract a lot of customers," Elmer suggested.
Levi thought for a moment.
"Hmmmm, if you pay me triple then I'm ready," Levi said.
"Agreed," Elmer replied.
"Are you mad? Just for some gold coins, you are going to dress up as a girl?" Mello shouted.
"Levi, think about it. You are going to embarrass yourself among a lot of people," Hina said.
'I don't care, Elmer… I'm in," Levi announced.
"That's the spirit, you are going to the favourite made of the customers," Elmer replied cheerfully. "But before that, you need some practice, tonight come to my house I will get the dress ready for you."
"Sure. Let's meet after dinner."

THAT EVENING
"Levi, are you really going to wear a maid costume?" Hina asked in a low voice.
"I can't wait to see him getting embarrassed. It's sure going to be amusing," Mello laughed
"Well, at least I'm doing something sooner or later I will get rich and live a comfortable life away from you guys," Levi replied.
*
"So you guys are here? Come inside," Elmer welcomed them.
The four of them sat in the first room and waited for Elmer to return with the dress.
"Here Levi, I brought your maid costume," Elmer presented before him.
Mello busted out laughing. "This is sure going to be amusing."
Daisy and Hina sighed.
"Levi, change your clothes in the other room. we will wait here," Elmer said.
"Well, upon a closer look, I kind of feel uncomfortable wearing this," Levi said stammering.
"We told you before, you wanted to do this right? Go on," Daisy mocked him.
NARRATOR: Levi in a maid costume? This guy has gone crazy.
