"Will you leave your shaded hollow?"

"Will you greet the daylight looming"

"Learn to love without consuming"

.....

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha"

"Finishing the lyrics to the song that had been played in the square both aizer and Mary simultaneously started laughing.

"One was drunk while the other still had some rationality left"

"Ahh, man, that was fun. Don't you think Mary"

"Mary nodded her head. Yes, it was an amazing experience."

realising the current time, Mary asked. "But shouldn't we be heading back by now?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, yeah, you're right. It is getting dark now." Man, we really went all out. I just know my body's going to be sore tomorrow.

"Sore? do you even know the meaning of sore? do you even know what work is? I have to get up early in the morning after we get back. Tidy up the manor along with all the other servants. Then I'm on laundry duty."

"Do you know how painful and exhausting it is to work in the laundry room huh? Over 100 pieces of clothing and they expect 15 of us to get it all done before nightfall? Isn't that just crazy?"

what going on?is this girl ok? She was fine a second ago so what's all this

Wahhh waaa.*Sob* *sob* *hic* *hic *

ugh, I guess those drinks are finally coming into effect. tsk, I never knew I was going to have to deal with drunk Mary. sigh even after I told her to go easy on the drinks. aizer thought this as he watched Mary cry. Not knowing how to comfort her.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Err. Mary, it's umm, it's OK. I mean look on the bright side. You all manage to get it done before nightfall. 'Although I'm not sure if they do. I mean, 100 pieces of clothing does sound like a lot of work, and saying this might help calm down.'

Hearing this Mary looked at aizer with an expression showing disbelief. Before bursting out into tears once more. This time even louder.

"It's. It's not the same!. *sniffle*. * sniffle*. "just because we manage to finish it on time doesn't mean it isn't stressful."

"With how often I get burns from doing laundry. I won't be surprised if I end up turning into a tomato."

"Why don't you go ask the headmaid for a break to treat your injuries?"

"Ask her?! Don't even bother *sniffle* it's not like she even cares. *sniffles* she is not even the head maid. She just filling in for the actual head maid because the real head main has become poorly *sniffle*."

"Things were better before Delara took on the role *sniff*. I'm such a useless maid. mary said in a meek voice finally starting to calm down"

'it seems like she's calming down'. "Alright then, let's get back to the mansion first. Then you can see how the head maid's health is coming along". thinking for a moment aizer also added in. "you're not a useless maid. You've managed to fulfil all the tasks I asked you to do today"

"Really" *sniff*.

"Yeah".

"But can you really count those as tasks today? We mainly ate food, drank alcohol and played some games"

"Well, a task from me is still a task, so stop crying. come on, let's head to a carriage. It's starting to get cold."

*sniff* "OK aizer"

Finally calming down Mary and aizer both started to make their way towards the carriage but before they got there Mary suddenly got pushed

*thud*

"Hey, watch where you're going, you bastard." Mary angrily berated as she shouted towards the back of the man who had bumped into her

"U good?" aizer asked as he watched the man run off with a questioning look

"Yeah, I ju.. my. My bag!"

"Huh, what happened?"

"Th-the bag that had all our clothes and money it's it's gone the guy who bumped into me earlier must have taken it. No, no, no, no, no. How could I let this happen? Mary questioned grabbing her hair vigorously"

"I-l knew it. I am a useless maid I can't even keep a bag from being robed." Mary said as she stood on the street her mind overloaded with thoughts.

'So that's what that was. I thought something looked familiar when I saw him run off earlier. Aizer mused as a frown darkened his face.

"Mary see that bar over there he spoke as he pointed in a certain direction. Take these coins and get some water I'll be back soon"

"W-wait Aizer where are you going? and what about the bag?"

"Don't worry I'm going to get it back"

"B-but it's so dark now and it might be dangerous."

"Mary that was an order". aizer said his face becoming stern and emotionless.

'theirs no way I can bring her along in the state that she is now... better leave her to go to a bar. so she can sober up' Aizer thought inwardly

Seeing this Mary decided to keep her mouth shut. hastily Walking over to the bar that was still open

'How dare some random thief take my belongings? Isnt this just slapping me on the face and expecting me not to do anything?, hmph, Wishful thinking. Do you not know how high this sky is?'. Aizer thought as he slowly pulled out the gun he had been keeping in his pocket. leisurely making his way over to the place where he had last seen the thief...
