The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 4

Lise walked him all the way to his dormitory building.

First-year and third-year students live in different places, so Lise said goodbye to herself and went back to her own dormitory.

After entering the dormitory, I took off the robe that Lise had given me to keep warm; Lise’s faint fragrance still lingered on it.

I feel like this experience is very familiar… It’s so strange, I just can’t remember it, it seems like I have no related memories.

Sitting on my own bed, the warm and comfortable feeling made me realize that I was really home.

Here, there is no experience of being kicked out of the team in two lifetimes, no feeling of being a useless person with a locked magic limit, no hero who colluded with the Demon King, and no complicated psychology between girls.

Yes, this is the place I should cherish.

Looking across, the blankets on that bed were neatly folded, and a savage doll wearing a leopard-print dress and a flower wreath sat on the headboard.

That was her roommate, her only friend in the college, and her confidante Mila.

Because his magic power limit was locked, and because he often went to raid dungeons with the hero squad last semester, he missed a lot of classes and had nowhere to catch up. As expected, his grades plummeted from first in the grade when he entered school to second to last at the end of the semester.

Mila came in last place.

When I was frowning over my grades, it was Mila who kept causing trouble and making strange noises to amuse me, which helped me get out of my daze.

Mira gritted her teeth and even used force to completely detach her arm, which truly surprised herself.

Mila later explained that this was a trick she had specially learned from the clown at the Royal Circus in the capital, in order to cheer herself up.

From this perspective, Mila is someone I can get to know well, and we have indeed become good friends.

Mira’s bed was empty, and she wasn’t in the dormitory either; it seemed she wasn’t there.

By the way, at this time of year, she would usually go out for secret training, honing the mysterious magic passed down from her hometown.

Well, in front of Mira, I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry.

Ariel walked barefoot on the dormitory floor, opened her wardrobe, and changed into her cat-themed pajamas.

Touching the pajamas and feeling the smoothness of the silk material, I suddenly remembered that Karina had also bought these pajamas for me.

It was on her birthday. Karina mysteriously took her to buy pajamas during the day and wouldn’t let her go back to the base.

That was the first time I had ever stepped into a tailor shop that catered exclusively to the nobility.

Then, Karina specially chose this cat-themed pajama for herself, praising herself for looking cuter than a real cat when she wore it.

After returning to the base, the teammates threw themselves a lavish birthday party. The sisters and the hero laughed and chatted until late at night before finally falling into a deep sleep.

That day, Karina even cut her own cake and praised herself as the most talented witch.

But now, when she calls herself “useless,” there is not a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Alyssa couldn’t help but slam her fist on the table.

With such warm memories of the past, why has it turned out like this now?

Those who exclude themselves from the group are the real them, aren’t they?

It was all just an act before, nothing was genuine, right?

When I am no longer useless and can stand on equal footing with them, they better not cry and beg me to come back.

Begging won’t help!

Ariel was trembling with anger, and slammed her fist on the table again. The table made a dull thud, and several cracks appeared on its surface. Her hands also turned slightly red from the impact.

“Ariel!”

In the blink of an eye, Ariel heard the door open, followed by Mira’s voice.

At the same time, Mila hugged her from behind and patted the white sugar cake on her chest a few times with her little hands.

“Ouch, that hurts!”

Ariel twisted her body slightly in annoyance and grabbed Mila’s little arm.

Mila usually has a bright smile on her face and is always full of energy.

It’s safe to say that since becoming Mira’s roommate, my life has never been boring.

“Listen to me, Ariel! I overheard some senior students and teachers talking and discovered a big secret!”

“A big secret?”

Ariel showed no curiosity whatsoever.

The “big secret” Mira mentioned earlier included, but was not limited to:

The principal had a woman’s panty shard stuck to the sole of his foot, but he didn’t notice it all day.

The alchemist is 40 years old this year, but he was 30 years old 10 years ago;

The reason the food in the school cafeteria is so salty today is because it contains the tears of a certain monster…

Things like that.

The result is that it serves no purpose other than arousing gossip, and some of it is even nonsense!

Listening to Mira’s big secret felt like having time itself stolen away by her time magic; it was truly…

“Yes, this is a big secret about you, Ariel. How about it, if you want to hear it…”

“I don’t want to hear that. Besides, I know you’re going to say ‘trade it for a piece of white sugar cake,’ right?”

Mira’s mouth opened wide, seemingly big enough to fit a whole egg, and her eyes lit up, as if in disbelief.

How did you know?!

Ariel squeezed Mira’s hands slightly, keeping them far away from her sugar cake.

“You’re still using force, trying to sneak up on my sugar cake when I’m not paying attention!”

“Waaah…”

Mila let out a few sobs:

“Your white sugar cake is so big, so firm, and so beautifully shaped. Why can’t I enjoy this treasure properly?”

Ariel remained unmoved, gripping Mira’s hand tightly once more.

Although Mira was behind him and he couldn’t see her, he was quite certain that the crying was fake.

Mila’s goal from beginning to end was simply to touch her own white sugar cake!

It’s better to change the subject here. We can sneak away from where Mira can grab us.

“Mira, we’ve been roommates for a semester, and we’re friends too. Do you believe me?”

“Hmm? I believe you, Mira believes you, Ariel.”

“Well then, Mira, tell me your big secret first. If it helps, I’ll let go of your hand, okay?”

“You said it yourself!”

Mira clung tightly to Ariel’s back, her small, white breasts kneading Ariel’s mind.

If a woman had done this to me in my past life, I wouldn’t have been so lenient.

But in this life, there’s no such thing as chickens anymore, so such behavior between best friends is normal… right?

Mira said:

“I’ve heard there’s a plant in the garden behind the academy that can increase the maximum magic power of the person who consumes it. The higher the person’s talent, the greater the increase!”

Increase your maximum magic power?

At that moment, Karina’s voice, “Useless, useless,” echoed in his mind.

This is undoubtedly the way to solve the problem of having one’s magic limit locked!

Although the back mountain of the academy is a forbidden area according to school rules, and students are not allowed to set foot there.

However, compared to restoring my maximum magic power, this forbidden area is worth venturing into.

After all, for a witch, the upper limit of magic power is the upper limit of strength.

As long as the maximum magic power can be increased, the risk of venturing into the forbidden area is nothing.

When she came to her senses, Mira was pressing one hand against her left side, while the other hand was quietly unbuttoning her pajamas.

Mila!

Alyssa stood up abruptly, her face quickly turning a deep red, and she crossed her arms, speaking slowly and deliberately:

“Mi…Mira…what are you doing!”
