Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 128

Chapter 128
Get Heated Up, Twintails

A while after spring has arrived, when Nanaki’s tone has finally somehow reached normal standards .

“You want to shadow Nanaki?”
“Yeah . I think Nanaki is somehow okay to go into public, but considering what might happen when I’m not watching . ”
“I see, you have it tough Envy . ”

I was consulting Salia about a certain test .

“I’m sorry, even if you ask me, it’s impossible . That child is abnormally sensitive to presences and such . You should know that too . ”
“I know, that’s why I’m consulting you……”
“Well, if it’s not urgent then how about just asking people who come into contact with Nanaki for their impressions?”
“It’s a direct order from her excellency……”
“……I see, my condolences . ”

In conclusion, it is impossible for both Salia and I to shadow Nanaki . Of course I didn’t think shadowing that Nanaki was possible . After all, she survived in the wild against ferocious beasts despite being a child . Attempting to hide my presence won’t work with Nanaki .

But still, it is a direct order to investigate if Nanaki’s behaviour is suitable to be a Five Emperor, if she is educated . Of course, there is no way I can make a superficial report, so I was at a loss . At the same time I was also frantic .

Because I knew .

If this investigation proves Nanaki is suitable, it will finally be the time for Nanaki and Ivaal-sama to clash again . The Five Emperor duel of succession will happen . At that time, I already knew what would happen if Nanaki and Ivaal-sama fought . Even though I knew, I had no way to stop it .

“Let’s see……how about trying a disguise?”
won’t Nanaki sniff you out?
Whether she knew about my desperation or simply thought of it, Salia mentioned that .

“Disguise?”
“Basically you want to know how Nanaki is doing when out of your sight right? Then how about making her think you’re someone else entirely?”

“Hmmm……disguising to fool Nanaki……”
“At the very least it’s better than shadowing her . ”
“That’s not wrong but……”
“Then how about just giving it a shot? I’ll help . ”
“I’m thankful for that but……aren’t you quite eager?”
“Not really . If Nanaki saw through Envy’s disguise, it would be so precious . ”
“Precious……what?”
“Nothing . ”
true love?
Sometimes, I don’t understand what Salia is talking about .
But it doesn’t seem like she was lying about helping, we immediately headed to Salia’s house to prepare the disguise .

“Well, no matter what we do, that red hair is first . It’s too long for a wig too . ”
“Something along the lines of changing hairstyle……”
“Yeah, it’s a beautiful red, it would be a shame to cut or dye it . ”
“Thanks . ”

And so we started with messing with my hair .
There isn’t many other parts that change the impression of a person like their hair . This should be the first thing to change .
But I am still a woman, even if it is the direct order of her excellency, I want to avoid dyeing or cutting it .

“……but even so, why twintails Salia?”
“Ah, it’s cute . ”
“Think of my age……”
“It’s fine . Beauties can have any hairstyle and look good anyway . And there’s no point in the disguise unless it’s a hairstyle that the normal Envy would never do . ”
“That……might be true but……”
“Then be obedient . ”

I tried to think of a way to somehow use a different hairstyle, but in the end I couldn’t think of a good reason and lost to Salia .
Resultingly here is the first time I’ve had twintails since I was a child .

“Mhm, it looks good as expected . You’re more of the beautiful kind, so I tried aiming for the gap by making you look more spirited and it turned out cuter than I thought it would . After that, yeah, glasses would be good . ”
“No, it’s not like I’m disguising to be cute or beautiful……”
“Clothes, let’s see……let’s go with an evening dress . Luckily our figures are similar so you should be able to get by with mine . Wait here, I’ll also bring accessories . ”
“No there’s no need to dress up that much! And no need for twintails too!”
…… . can’t imagine Envy with twintails
As I watched Salia ignore my voice and leave the room with light footsteps, I finally realised I might have made a mistake and started to have regrets .

too late

MOERO!

A while later .

“What evening party am I attending……”

Looking into the full-length mirror, I was at a loss for words .
Salia went on a rampage and at the mercy of her evil hands, I was a dress-up doll . Dressed in a black dress and accessories that are not too gaudy . And she even did make up . To wrap it all up, twintails at this age .

“But still, why did you buy this much . You don’t have much time to wear these anyway . ”
“I bought them to be able to enjoy the times I can wear them exactly because there isn’t much of that time . You on the other hand, what do you spend your money on . ”
“What do I spend my money on……recently it’s Nanaki’s clothes or when we eat together……then there’s books . She always reads through them so quickly . ”
“I see, I see . I think it’s a great thing you two are getting along . Yes, a very good thing . Fufu, fufufufu . ”
a precious thing?
When I answered Salia’s question, for some reason Salia expression slackened and she started laughing . I don’t know why, but Salia occasionally laughs in a disgusting way .

“Okay, with this it’s perfect . ”
“I’m grateful for the disguise but I can’t really be thankful . ”
“That’s fine . I’ll enjoy it in my own way . ”
“Yeah……”

“Yeah……”

Seeing Salia’s satisfied expression, I felt the urge to make at least one complain, but I endured it . Although in a certain sense I met a terrible fate, Salia helped me out of her good will .
I can punch her if Nanaki sees through the disguise .

“Then let’s go back . Do you know Nanaki’s schedule today?”
“Yeah . At around this time, I think she’s training with the other Five Emperor candidates, so I’ll pay them a visit . ”
“That Nanaki with other Five Emperor candidates……Envy, you really worked hard . ”
“I’m glad you understand . Seriously . ”

Thinking back on it, isn’t this the first time someone understood? My efforts and suffering often don’t get through .

Silver in particular is bad .
Enough stress had built up for me to think why not just make everyone experience being Nanaki’s teacher, but with Salia’s words, I felt a little bit of relief .

I thanked Salia in my mind .
……right after I thanked her .

“Mu, Salia and……Envy? I didn’t recognise you . What happened?”
“Ah, Silver . It’s rare to meet you outside the palace . ”
“That’s my line . Is Envy’s outfit your work? She looks quite good . ”
“Isn’t that great, Envy . It’s quite rare for Silver to praise people . ”
‘Eh? Ye, yeah……”

While Salia and Silver’s completely normal conversation unfolded before my eyes, I just answered in a daze . Or rather, I was doubting my ears .

“I’ve seen something interesting in an unexpected place . Well, I don’t know what you’re doing but don’t cause her excellency any trouble . ”
“Even if the one who argued with Nanaki and destroyed the palace says that . ”
“Gu……that’s her fault . ”
“Yeah yeah . Bye then, we’re in a hurry . ”
“A, aah . Bye . ”

After watching Silver leave with a sour look, I quickly spoke up .

“A, aah . Bye . ”

After watching Silver leave with a sour look, I quickly spoke up .

“Wait, he saw through it . ”

“Hey, Envy . ”

And Salia stopped walking and slowly turned towards me . Her expression was very serious and made me think there was some deep reason .

“I realised part way through, but in the first place, you are the only one in this capital with such brilliant red hair . ”
“……meaning?”
“Er, I don’t really want to say this but, that is not a disguise, it’s just dressing up……”
“No, then just say it then…… Couldn’t we have at least tried to hide my hair……”
“I’m sorry . I wanted you to flir……interact with Nanaki in that outfit……”
“……what did you say?”

There was no particularly deep reason .

“Salia . You are a good senior and I think of you as an important friend . So I really don’t want to say this, but clench your teeth . ”
“Yo, you haven’t met Nanaki yet! Silver saw through it but we don’t know about Nanaki . It might not have failed yet!”

Salia struggled, so we headed as we were to the training grounds where Nanaki is . Along the way, there were many times where imperial servants pointed at me and whispered among themselves, but I ignored all of that .

“Envy’s dressed up weird! Weird Envy!”

And this is result .

“Salia————————!!”
“Wa, wait!? This is not something to bring out Hiyent=Helios for!”
