Tohru revealed that Kobayashi and Y/N saved her life from a seemingly-mortal wound and that she intends to repay them by becoming their maid. Y/N was finding it hard to believe.
The room fell into a hushed silence as Tohru's revelation hung in the air, seemingly suspending time itself. Y/N stared at Tohru with wide eyes, trying to make sense of what they had just heard. A dragon maid? It sounded like something straight out of a fantasy novel. Yet, the sincerity in Tohru's eyes couldn't be denied, and the warmth of her gratitude was palpable.
Kobayashi, on the other hand, sat back, crossing her arms with a hint of skepticism. The practical, no-nonsense side of her couldn't accept this bizarre proposition so easily.
Tohru bowed her head respectfully. "I'll never forget those kind words! Please allow me to start working here as your maid!."
Y/N's heart raced, struggling to grasp the situation. "Wait, Tohru, are you sure about this? We didn't save you with the intention of asking for anything in return. You don't owe us anything."
Tohru smiled gently, appreciating Y/N's concern. "It's true, Y/N, you saved me!."
Kobayashi's stern expression softened slightly as she observed Tohru's sincerity. Though she had never considered the idea of having a maid, especially a dragon one, the gratitude she felt for Tohru was undeniable. A part of her couldn't help but be curious about what it would be like to have a dragon maid at her service.
"I appreciate your intentions, Tohru," Kobayashi began cautiously, "But having a maid is not in our budget. Y/N and I have managed just fine without one all this time."
Tohru's tail swished slightly with a mix of determination and disappointment. "But, you wouldn't have to pay me."
Y/N felt a tug at their heartstrings. Tohru's earnestness was difficult to ignore, and a part of them couldn't help but wonder how things would change with a dragon maid around. The idea seemed both exciting and nerve-wracking.
Kobayashi hesitated, her mind at war with her emotions. "No, that's not the problem...," she said.
"I can be useful! I can turn this entire area into a sea of fire, or curse people to death!" Tohru said.
"No, no, no!" Kobayashi and Y/N said. Y/N looked at his fiancé.
"Let's, at least give her a chance." Y/N said. Kobayashi thought for a minute and looked at Tohru. "Let's give this a two week trial run." She said.
Tohru's eyes lit up with delight. "Thank you, Kobayashi-san! I won't let you down, I promise!"
As Y/N and Kobayashi were getting accustomed to the idea of having a dragon maid, an unexpected visitor made their way into the room. It was Max, the cat they had taken in, now in human form, dressed in Y/N's oversized clothes. Tohru's accidental transformation of the feline had led to this curious turn of events.
Max timidly stepped into the room, his cat ears twitching nervously, and his tail peeking out from behind him. His human form was a little disoriented, and he was still adjusting to this sudden change in his existence.
Kobayashi blinked in surprise, momentarily at a loss for words. "Max?"
Max's cat-like eyes widened, and he nodded hesitantly. "Meow—I mean, yes, it's me, Max. I'm wearing clothes. Took me a bit but I got it." His voice was a mix of uncertainty and excitement, making it evident that he was trying to cope with his newfound humanity.
Y/N exchanged bewildered glances with Kobayashi, trying to process the situation. Y/N had always believed there was something special about Max, but turning him human was beyond their wildest imagination.
