Abnormal Moon

"You guys are doing this?"

"The weather is cool now, I'm sure Lord Roy will be considerate of us."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and twirled around, happily showing off her maid outfit.

It was indeed the open-back maid outfit that Roy had bought, but Roy really didn't expect that she would wear an inner lining inside, completely covering her body.

That's so boring!

Hayasaka Ai, who was standing next to her, was dressed the same way, but she didn't say anything, letting Utaha test whether the gun would go off.

"Oh well, let's just forget about it then."

Roy shook his head, looking dejected.

"I was originally planning to check if you had the aptitude for magic, as a return gift for showing me the maid outfit!"

The atmosphere in the living room froze instantly.

Hayasaka Ai silently turned around and walked towards the bedroom without saying a word.

Kasumigaoka Utaha cursed the traitor in her heart and quickly walked towards the bedroom.

Roy smiled with satisfaction.

When the two of them came out of the bedroom again, Roy suddenly felt that the world before him was different.

The two women removed all their undergarments. Although the maid outfits were almost identical, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai wore them in completely different styles.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has a more voluptuous figure. The edges of her maid outfit outline her proud body curves, even sinking into her snow-white soft flesh. The low-cut style brings out her advantages to the fullest. The scar is so deep that it seems to make people want to sink into it. Her legs are covered with black stockings, and the absolute territory between the short skirt and the stockings is dazzlingly white.

She was still a little reserved, her face flushed, and her eyes darting around, giving off a haughty vibe that seemed to say, "I'm not wearing this maid outfit for you."

Hayasaka Ai has a more slender figure, without the constricted feeling of Kasumigaoka Utaha. Her slender body appears more delicate, especially her waist, which is so small that it makes people want to touch and play with it. As if she deliberately wanted to distinguish herself from Kasumigaoka Utaha, she wore spotless, flawless white stockings, which made people want to defile her.

To change the impression, Hayasaka Ai deliberately let her blonde hair fall down, and used a flower-shaped hair clip to hold back her bangs. Her blue eyes blinked, giving her a sense of innocent naivety, which was quite a bit cunning.

Two maids, one with black hair and black stockings, a haughty and voluptuous type, and the other with blonde hair and white stockings, a scheming and delicate type.

Ah, I have no regrets in this life!

Chapter 17 Magic Aptitude

"Hand out."

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai simultaneously stretched out their delicate white hands and placed them in front of Roy.

She looked at him expectantly.

Roy looked at the two of them with anticipation.

"..."

"..."

"Where are the lines?"

Roy frowned and looked at the two of them with displeasure.

"Lines?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked bewildered.

Hayasaka Ai paused for a moment, her pink lips twitched slightly as if she couldn't take it, and then a perfect smile appeared on her face.

"Master, please test our aptitude for magic!"

Roy nodded in satisfaction.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheek twitched slightly.

"Master, Master, please let me test you too!"

The girl with long, straight black hair took a deep breath, and under Roy's unwavering gaze, she finished speaking as quickly as possible, her face flushed red, and even the tips of her ears turned bright red.

Roy nodded in satisfaction and reached out to shake their hands.

For a moment, Hayasaka Ai wondered if this person had set up this scam just to trick them into giving her their hands.

It wasn't until a warm current flowed from where her hands were clasped together, into her arms and body, that she felt a jolt of energy. Overjoyed, she quickly and carefully sensed the reactions within her body.

But after a short while, she could only feel a warm current flowing through her body, without feeling any changes inside her.

A vague sense of unease rose in her heart, and she subconsciously looked up to observe Roy's expression.

Roy frowned.

His expression was the complete opposite of the gratification he felt when he saw a magic apprentice emerge from his hands.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also realized what was happening, and her expression gradually turned sour.

A short while later, Roy withdrew his hand.

"……How about it?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked stiffly.

Hayasaka Ai silently watched Roy.

"No magic circuit can be found at all."

Roy didn't keep you in suspense; his blunt words were like a knife.

"Can't you use magic without magic circuits?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha persisted in asking, unwilling to give up.

“That’s right. Magic circuits are the foundation for using all magic. Although the systems and names vary from place to place, this basic condition will not change. Moreover, magic circuits are innate and cannot be increased through hard work. I cannot detect the existence of magic circuits in you at all, which means that you will never be able to use magic in your lives.”

This knife goes in white and comes out red.

They come and go, leaving people utterly devastated.

The two girls retreated, looking dejected.

Before long, the two put the inner lining back on.

Although I'm disappointed, life goes on.

Under the tutelage of Hayasaka Ai, Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually learns the work of a servant.

The Aozaki residence is very large and requires a lot of effort to clean. If you want to clean it carefully, even two experienced people might not be able to finish it in a day, let alone the fact that one of them is teaching the other.

Hayasaka Ai wasn't actually a maid who did these menial tasks. She was originally the young lady's personal maid, responsible for more delicate and upscale work, but she was also adept at cleaning.

Roy couldn't help but want to ask Rin Tohsaka for her.

In the front yard of the mansion, deep in the lawn, there is a small farmhouse where some vegetables such as radishes and potatoes grow even in winter.

Hayasaka Ai stopped on the lawn, looking at the small farmhouse with a probing gaze.

"what happened?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha wiped the sweat from her forehead and came to her side. She was puzzled to see that Utaha was staring intently at the farmhouses.

"The Aozaki family should be considered a wealthy family in Fuyuki City, so why would they grow vegetables in their own yard?"

Hayasaka Ai looked at the vegetables in the farmhouse, her expression showing some confusion.

She didn't see it at all at the Tohsaka residence.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

It's normal for ordinary people to grow seasonal vegetables in their own yards, but the Aozaki mansion is so big. In Fuyuki City, where land is so valuable, it can occupy such a large yard. Obviously, it means that the person has a very high status. Wouldn't it seem a bit low-class to grow vegetables in their own yard?

"Since there's such a wide space, of course we should make use of it."

Roy came to the corridor and overheard their conversation, speaking in a very natural tone.

"If someone of similar status to the Aozaki family saw this, they would probably laugh at us."

Hayasaka Ai's tone still carried a hint of confusion.

"It will not happen."

Roy sat down in the hallway, a faint smile on his face.

"Because everyone does it this way. Magicians in Fuyuki City probably all rack their brains to grow vegetables in their own fields. Maybe magicians all over the world do it this way."

Hayasaka Ai was speechless for a moment.

This was far removed from her impression of aristocrats.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't seem to care much, as her family wasn't exactly wealthy or powerful.

"Hayasaka, this world is vastly different from where you used to live."

Roy looked at Hayasaka Ai meaningfully, "Ten years ago, the curse broke out, and fires engulfed the world for more than a year. Just imagine, what would be left after that fire?"

"It's a curse!"

Before Hayasaka Ai could answer, Roy gave his own answer.

"The reason why humans haven't left the base city right now is not only because the wild is overrun by monsters, but also because the land outside is covered with curses. These curses not only pollute people's minds, but also pollute the land, making it uninhabitable, uncultivable, and unlivable."
