"Why not?"
"Because I haven't yet gained Lord Hyakusui's approval like Miss Rias has."
"These things can be taken slowly."
Whether it's Levi or Grefia, Baili has other plans.
Upon hearing his answer, Grefia did not continue the previous topic.
"What would you like to eat for lunch, Lord Baili?"
"There's no particular dish I'm craving, but if I had to pick one... I'd say beef stew with potatoes would be good."
After all, this kind of cuisine has a wide appeal.
"I think we can buy some related ingredients when we buy wine."
"We'll talk about it when we get there."
Baili increased his speed slightly.
The nearest apartment to Baili Residence is about a ten-minute walk away.
Upon their arrival, the two heard a commotion as soon as they passed through the gate.
Although it was morning, customers arrived early to snap up bargains because of the mall's discounts.
Baili didn't stop, but went straight up to the upper level.
The lower level is for affordable items, the middle level is for dining and upscale items, and the upper level is for luxury goods, which naturally includes some expensive drinks.
However, before taking the elevator, Griffith looked at the stairs leading to the lower area.
"I plan to buy the ingredients first. Let's go to the upper floor for Lord Baili's business first."
"Is it because the ingredients on the lower level are fresher now?"
"Yes, Lord Baili knows very well; because those who are good at restocking daily always go through a special entrance in the underground parking lot, so the freshest batch of goods are naturally prioritized for the owners of the underground stalls; although the location is not good, most of them run restaurants and hotels, so they don't have to worry about not having customers."
Gloria's words reminded Baili of his childhood...
He would accompany his parents to the wholesale market to buy fruit.
Although most wholesalers buy their produce by the truckload, they don't stop retail sales and still sell fruit at prices below market value.
"How do you know all this? Didn't you used to live in the underworld?"
"In the underworld, many things are no different from the human world."
"Then I'll go take a look too."
"Lord Baili, please don't mind me."
"Anyway, there's nothing to do in the morning, right?"
"Yes……"
Griffith nodded and walked towards the underground floor.
The two arrived at the basement level and saw many busy figures.
Some were unloading and loading goods in the parking area not far away, while others were arranging the ingredients they had just put on the shelves.
Griffitha wasted no time and quickly completed the selection of ingredients.
Everything is going smooth.
It's also very ordinary.
Baili didn't dislike this kind of life.
In less than five minutes, Griffia used magic to preserve the purchased ingredients, then left them at the counter, and finally accompanied Baili to the upper floor to select fine wines.
After taking the elevator to the upper floor, the number of guests was noticeably less.
Baili looked at the billboards set up at the elevator entrances and exits, which listed the store numbers of different shops selling different goods.
The number seven has been confirmed, and Baili is looking ahead.
"Let's go, Griffith."
"Yes, Lord Baili."
The two started walking again.
As Baili passed by number six, he noticed that Grefia's gaze fell on the clothes in the shop window.
It was a long summer dress adorned with lace and tulle.
It has the lightness of sheer tulle, and the elegance and sophistication of lace cutouts.
It's really good.
Baili stopped in his tracks.
"It seems you're quite interested in this dress."
He said with a smile, then took Grefia's hand and led her into the store.
"In that case, let's go in and take a look."
"No, no need... Lord Baili, I have no such need."
"Anyway, there's still plenty of time in the morning."
Baili did not accept Grefia's refusal and pulled her into the store.
The store is filled with a light fragrance, and soft lighting shines on the various exquisite clothes, creating a warm and comfortable shopping environment.
The two walked to the place where the black dress was displayed, and Baili examined it carefully.
From the neckline to the hem, from the cuffs to the waist decorations, every detail is meticulously designed.
Since Griffith has taken a liking to it...
"This dress suits you very well."
Baili said
"How about we give it a try now?"
Upon hearing this question, Griffith hesitated slightly.
However, after exchanging a glance with Baili, the silver-haired maid nodded.
So Baili had the shop assistants who surrounded him take the clothes down and hand them to Griffith.
"Please wait a moment, Lord Baili."
After saying that, Griffith set off towards the locker room.
Baili sat down on a soft bench on one side for resting.
after awhile--
When Griffith reappeared in front of the store, the surrounding staff were stunned by her beauty.
The black dress hugged her figure perfectly, and the combination of lace and tulle made the silver-haired maid look both mysterious and charming.
The shop assistants then began to praise it.
“It suits you very well, miss.”
"It's more like it was tailor-made for you, Miss."
Whether it was sales tactic or not, Baili at least agreed with their assessment. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"It is indeed very suitable."
Just as Baili was praising it, the surrounding space suddenly changed.
The constructed barrier caused the shop assistants to scatter.
Even other customers passing by the shop entrance cannot get close to this place.
Then--
Gloria, who created the barrier, grabbed Baili's hand.
Just like when he first brought her into the store, but this time it was Grefia who pulled Baili into the dressing room.
"Greyfeld?"
"Now... we finally have some time to be alone."
As a maid, Griffia had no intention of competing with Rias and the others for the master's position.
but now……
In this situation, Grefia took action.
"I am your maid."
"..."
Baili clearly understood what the silver-haired beauty in front of him meant.
Feeling the intense affection, Baili decided to reward the maid with more attention.
When Baili and Grefia returned to the apartment, more than an hour had passed since they went out.
During this time, all the girls woke up.
Although they were a little curious about where Baili and Grefia had gone out together, they did not argue about it. Instead, they started preparing for today's work as usual.
In this situation, the bathrooms on the first and second floors became the most popular places, and girls started lining up to use them.
Therefore, when Baili and Grefia returned home, they saw the girls sitting in the living room watching TV with their change of clothes.
Rias, Akeno, Koneko Toujou, and Mai Sakurajima are in the bathroom, so Nyaruko, Miko Yotsuya, Haruhime, Ais, and Asia are in the living room.
Including Levi, who changed into a new maid outfit, there are a total of six people.
Upon seeing Baili, Nyarko immediately jumped up from her seat.
She ran around Baili like a cat, circling him and sniffing him constantly.
"There's something suspicious about it..."
