"Come on, put on the maid outfit."

"No!"

"Be a good girl and wear it~"

"No! I'd rather die than put this on!"

"Listen~ just slip into the maid outfit!"

"No, no, no!"

Lily’s ears and tail shot straight up, adorable like a fluffed-up cat—

Her eyes locked onto me, or rather, the short-skirted maid outfit in my hands.

"I’d die before wearing something this embarrassing! I’m the Champion! I’m the Sword Saint!"

"But you’re not the Champion anymore. You’re just Lily, a white fox girl~" I grinned—handsome face twisted into a lecherous, perverted smirk, like a creepy middle-aged uncle.

"Be obedient~ or I’ll have Wuluwu and Ona dress you." I kept smiling. "Don’t forget—I still control your body~"

"Hehe~ I’d love to help~"

Ona chuckled beside us, flashing Lily a mischievous grin. She clearly had ulterior motives.

"Hmph… you… pervert."

Lily froze, her ears twitching uncontrollably. She glanced at Wuluwu and Ona—already in maid outfits—and muttered under her breath.

Wuluwu wore white stockings, calm and used to it. Ona, in black thigh-highs with garters, twirled excitedly. Her fluffy ears bounced; she was clearly pleased.

"Tsk tsk, ‘pervert’ is praise for the Overlord~ Didn’t you know?"

I swayed the maid outfit. "Come on~ wear it~"

"...Fine! I’ll wear it… but only Cecilia’s long dress!"

Lily pouted, weighing options. "I want the long one!"

"Oh? Sorry—that’s Head Maid exclusive." I grinned. "You get this one."

I shook the outfit again.

"Grrr…" Lily grumbled cutely, sounding like a true fox girl—once human, now making half-beast noises.

"Alright… I’ll wear it…"

After struggling, she deflated under my smile. Resisting was pointless—better to comply than let Ona and Wuluwu force it while I controlled her body… who knew what grinning Ona would do?

"Hmph. Wise choice."

I handed her the outfit.

Then I noticed Hawthorn beside Lily, staring intently.

"What is it?"

I asked—nervous she might kick me.

"...Can I try it too?"

Hawthorn blinked at me, then at the outfit in Lily’s hands. Her words surprised me.

"Huh?"

I raised an eyebrow. Lily looked stunned.

"Little Hawthorn!" Lily called. "Don’t please this guy for me…"

"...No, Master." Hawthorn blinked calmly. "I just… want to try."

"..." Lily stared, then glanced at me. "Fine. Try if you want."

"Hehe—pleasant surprise! Wuluwu, fetch another set."

"Understood."

Wuluwu dashed off. I grinned at Hawthorn.

"Little Hawthorn, let’s change… no peeking!"

Lily grabbed her daughter’s hand. After one step, she stopped, whirled, and glared. "Don’t you dare peek!"

"Peeping’s a lowbrow hobby—I’m not interested." I smiled. "Besides, do I even need to?"

"Hmph… you… hmpf!"

Annoyed, Lily huffed and led Hawthorn away.
