บท 50: Chapter 51
"Yes Naruto-sama." When Naruto finished, Grayfia nodded her head and made her way to the chair in front of them, earning a surprised look on Naruto's face and another gasp from Rias. Naruto scratched his head while looking at Grayfia but brushed it off thinking that it wasn't something really important right now.
Rias on the other hand was looking at Grayfia with suspicion in her eyes. Something was not right about the strongest queen here, she was the best person she knew at hiding emotions and she always hid what she was thinking under that emotionless face of hers, and her stern voice which never quivered no matter the situation but Grayfia could never hide the fact that she was a single woman and the small pink on her face whenever she call the blond 'Naruto-sama' was very suspicious. She never blushed, EVER. Yet here she was, blushing like a normal girl when Naruto gave her an'order, she was never like that when she was with her brother.
An disturbing thought appeared inside of Rias's mind. Could it be that Grayfia liked Naruto? If she did, then there were no way she and the other girls had a chance with him, Grayfia was ranked as the second most beautiful girl in the underworld second only to Serafall Leviathan when the Maou was in her adult form. Not only that, Grayfia was really experienced in love matters, a fact that none of the girls who had their eyes on Naruto had. She might be strict and stern when she was doing her duty but she was a normal woman when she was off the job and went out dating just like any other single woman trying to find her true love.
This woman, Grayfia could be the most dangerous obstacle in her way to Naruto's heart. Compared to her and the others, Grayfia looked like a tank while the other girls looked like ants. She would have to tell Akeno and Koneko about this tomorrow when they were at Kuoh.
"Well...Grayfia-nee, not to be rude or anything but why are you here?" Naruto began the conversation with the question he wanted to ask since he first saw her here,
"And what about your duties at the castle?" Rias added, Grayfia looked at both of them for a moment and replied,
"Well Naruto-sama, Rias-sama...Venelana-sama believes that household chores like cleaning, laundry or keeping everything in order would be really hard with just two people, she also thought that this mansion, the Uzumaki mansion..." Naruto's eyes turned wide at the name, "...Can't stay in order without someone with responsibility and hard working looking after it. Since she believed that Naruto-sama wouldn't want a lot of maids running around his house so when she asked who was going to be the Uzumaki mansion's maid, I volunteered myself. I believe that my abilities at housework would be helpful for you." Grayfia said with a very small smile on her face but quickly resumed her stoic face when she continued "Don't worry about my duty at Gremory Castle, Sirzechs-sama should be fine without me, the promotion is over for now so Sarah-sama had come back to the castle to help him." It was the truth, Sirzechs's wife came back to the castle after finishing her mid class promotion, the young woman really wanted to meet her son and enjoy her time with Sirzechs.
When Venelana asked who would be going to the Uzumaki Mansion and the maid there, Grayfia had volunteered herself a little too fast, making every other maid look at her in surprise while Venelana had a confused expression on her face. However, the lady of the Gremory Clan trusted Grayfia that she could take care of the mansion so the two didn't have to worry about the mansion.
Sure Grayfia knew with that shadow clone technique of his Naruto could finish cleaning up the place in just an hour or two by himself, she still found it reassuring that she would be there to help him keep his house in good condition. Grayfia also found herself really liking being ordered around by Naruto, even though she knew that they were just simple requests from him. She couldn't find it in herself to deny anything he wants. The power, the determination and even the concern for all the girls in Riser's peerage he had shown during the battle with Riser Phenex had attracted her to Naruto. Naruto had shown everyone how powerful he was now and how much he changed during two years in heaven. It kind of arousing to her when he fought Riser with cold and emotionless eyes like a experienced warrior, even when he attacked Riser until he couldn't even think straight anymore.
A strict personality didn't mean she was a woman that didn't need a lover in her life.
She would stick with the position as the maid of the Uzumaki Mansion for now, and see how her feeling develop concerning Naruto. She also knew about the other girls competing for Naruto's love and the first place in his heart but she won't lose to anyone, especially not to Serafall, the Maou that set her eyes upon Naruto and her rival.
"Grayfia-nee, I don't want to trouble you, I can do the chores by myself." Naruto smiled at her, part of him thought it would be nice to have Grayfia as a maid in the mansion, with her help the housework he was not looking forward to would be a lot easier but he had seen what Grayfia did to Sirzechs when she wasn't pleased or when something was out of order and he didn't want to trouble the person he considered as a big sister. "If you want, you could stay here and be a resident of this, uh, Uzumaki Mansion, you don't need to take care of everything here."
"Thank you for your concern Naruto-sama." Grayfia shook her head and stood up "But as the maid of the Uzumaki Mansion, my duties are clear. I will start tidying up the dining room for you, I guess you two haven't have dinner yet, have you?" Naruto and Rias shook their head, "Then I will prepare dinner, please wait for me to prepare a meal."
"Wait Grayfia, I will help you." Rias stood up and upon seeing that Grayfia was going to deny her offer, the red haired girl added quickly, "That's an order!"
