After about ten minutes, Tsubaki hesitantly walked out.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never worn such clothes, so each attempt made her a bit embarrassed, yet there was also a hint of anticipation.
"H-How is it?"
Tsubaki's face blushed slightly as she stood there feeling quite embarrassed.
"Very beautiful. Now, just be a bit more natural and strike a few poses."
"Poses?"
"Hurry up, I've already paid for this."
"Okay~"
Under Hilda's curious gaze, Tsubaki struck a few ordinary poses like bending over, smiling welcomingly, and turning to show a graceful smile.
Since they had just met, August didn't want to go overboard, lest he scare her away.
After about half an hour, August collected dozens of photos of Tsubaki in a maid outfit from various angles.
"Alright~"
"Hmm, alright. I'm satisfied."
Tsubaki let out a sigh of relief, it was finally over.
However, as she looked at August, who was smiling at his phone, she couldn't help but feel a bit proud and joyful.
No woman is indifferent to her appearance. August wanting these photos was also a side proof of her charm.
Considering what happened at school today, Tsubaki had heard about it. August, like an arrogant prince, hadn't given any other girls a chance to get close.
But towards her, he was like this. Anyone would have some thoughts in such a situation.
"Not bad. Pleasant cooperation. Here's your reward."
After storing all the photos and making backups, August took out the promised items.
Twenty bottles of Large Health Potion!
Twenty bottles of Large Mana Potion!
Looking at the forty bottles of potions in his hands, Tsubaki's face also showed a smile.
After receiving the potions, Tsubaki went to the bathroom to change out of the maid outfit.
"So, this contract is now concluded. Looking forward to your next summon."
"Definitely, don't worry, Tsubaki. I'll summon you again tomorrow, and by then, there will be other clothes for you to try. Don't worry, you won't lose out."
"Uh."
Tsubaki's face stiffened. She had just mentioned it casually, there was no need for him to take it so seriously.
Coming here every day to change clothes and take pictures, am I not a model?
"As long as you're happy."
In the end, Tsubaki chose not to say much. After all, it was just changing clothes and taking a few photos. It wasn't revealing attire, and he was giving her so much. She was profiting.
Then, a magic circle lit up beneath Tsubaki's feet, and in the blink of an eye, she was teleported away.
August felt slightly unsatisfied. If he could conquer this girl with long black hair and glasses, his beautiful life would truly begin.
"Um, if My Lord likes it, I can do it too~"
Hilda, on the side, said somewhat bashfully.
"Huh? Like what?"
"Wearing these kinds of clothes to take pictures for my lord. If my lord likes it, Hilda is willing to wear any kind of clothes for my lord to see."
"Um~"
August suddenly understood. She was jealous. Seeing him favor another woman, she was afraid of losing favor.
As a maid, she wouldn't harbor dissatisfaction. She was just worried about losing favor and would do her best to win August's favor.
"Sure, Hilda. I'll go buy the clothes right away, nurse uniforms, police uniforms, teacher uniforms, and professional attire. We'll have them all."
"Yes, my lord."
Hilda felt delighted about it. For her, being able to make August happy and receive his favor meant everything.
In the blink of an eye, Hilda changed into the new clothes and prepared to go out with August to buy more outfits.
However, August didn't have any intention of getting up. Subconsciously, Hilda glanced at August's phone and noticed that he had already started shopping for clothes on the online store.
"My Lord, are you buying clothes online?"
"Yes, it's too troublesome to go buy them myself. Besides, if I wear them, other men will definitely see. My maid is meant for my eyes only."
This statement made Hilda's heart feel as sweet as honey.
August's choice of shopping was also straightforward, expensive. Money wasn't an issue, so he selected the best stores and customized the highest-quality clothes.
As for Hilda's size, that was even less of a concern. August didn't need to ask, she had already mentioned it herself.
While August was continuously placing orders on his phone, suddenly, in the early evening when the night had just fallen, there was another chaotic surge of devilish energy characteristic of a stray devil.
"My Lord, it's a stray devil."
This time, both August and Hilda noticed it because it was too close.
"Really, all I wanted was to buy something, and yet there's more trouble."
August put away his phone and, with Hilda, headed towards the location of the stray devil.
Within less than two streets, they arrived at a residential area where the stray devil was hiding in one of the houses.
Before entering, a strong smell of blood reached them.
Frowning slightly, August pushed the door open and entered.
Through the entrance, down the corridor, they arrived in the living room.
In the living room, there were three bodies, all torn beyond recognition. On the sofa, a half-cat half-human stray devil was feasting on one of the corpses.
"Hmm? More food?"
Looking up, at the moment the stray devil saw August, a trace of anger flashed in its eyes.
The desire for food surged within it. If it could devour the man in front of it, it could definitely become stronger.
"Tasty food indeed. Let me devour you."
As it spoke, it turned into a black shadow and pounced towards August. One of its hands, now transformed into a cat's paw, had sharp claws glinting in the dim light.
"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi!"
Suddenly, a pitch-black cube enveloped it.
After a few seconds of slicing and dicing, the Black Coffin dissipated, leaving only a pile of minced flesh on the ground.
August had brought spiritual pressure with him. Witnessing such a scene as soon as they entered, the stray devil dared to charge at them, what a death wish.
Without bothering to waste words, August raised his hand, conjuring a black rod, and sent the stray devil off to meet the Shinigami.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Exterminate Stray Devil. Reward: Regular Gacha Draw *1!]
The mission was completed again, with another regular draw in hand. August and Hilda turned and left.
