Chương 169: The Clever Nightingale and the Conservative Her

Upon hearing Ms. Tree's request, Roland was so frightened that she leaned back and let out a strange cry.

"A... maid?"

"Why do you want me to be your maid?"

Roland's face flushed slightly, and her mind involuntarily drifted to the lace maid outfit that Caryl had made her wear.

Surely Ms. Shu isn't also interested in me?

Roland pursed her lips, recalling the time she spent with Ms. Tree.

No evidence was found that Ms. Shu was interested in girls, nor did she do anything inappropriate.

Yeah, they're all good buddies who drink together!

Seeing Roland's reaction, the Tree Lady channeled her magic into her hair.

The tendrils made of hair stretched forward, reaching onto the table and patting the mountain of documents repeatedly, making a pointed remark.

"I can't be the only one suffering, go change into a maid outfit and be my secretary."

"You should also learn about the daily management work of residential areas now, instead of just dumping it all on me all the time."

Roland wanted to continue questioning.

If you're going to be a secretary, then be a secretary. Why should you wear a maid outfit?

But seeing Ms. Shu's haggard appearance and the slight anger on her face, she finally agreed.

"Okay, okay, I'll change it. Consider it a reward for your hard work and overtime."

After speaking, Roland left the Hanging Gardens under the expectant gaze of the Tree Lady.

She first went back to her room and reluctantly and stingily squeezed out a bottle of "Faith Honey".

Then he went to the alchemy lab and refined the honey of faith into an Ascension Potion.

Looking at the beautiful golden-orange potion in her hand, Roland felt a wave of weakness wash over her.

Not only were my legs weak, but my spirit was also weak.

I barely got my hands on 500, 000 faith points before I had to spend them all.

"Never mind, given the current population, as long as Miss Tree holds on, the faith will be plentiful."

Roland muttered something to herself, put the potion into her pocket, and went into the changing room.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find a single maid's outfit.

Even the maid outfit that Roland wore for Caryl last time has vanished without a trace.

Aside from religious and nun-related clothing, the wardrobe was filled with suits worn by young ladies, socialites, and businesswomen.

It's obvious at a glance that Nightingale is secretly pursuing private interests and using public office for personal gain.

Left with no other option, Roland went outside and shouted.

"nightingale!"

"Come on up, I can't find any clothes to wear!"

With a clattering sound of footsteps, Nightingale quickly walked up to the third floor and stood in front of Roland.

She looked at Roland and asked in confusion.

"Miss Roland, are you going out?"

No, that's not it.

Roland reached out and scratched her cheek, glancing to the side.

"I wanted to ask you, where did the maid outfits that used to be in my closet go?"

In order to unlock system skills, she obtained a bunch of strange and unusual "special outfits", including a maid outfit.

Moreover, there are many different styles, including those that are ready to eat after opening, those that are better left unworn, and those that pretend to be proper but can be easily torn off.

Of course, there are also more serious ones who only show off their physical charm.

She threw them all into the closet, but now she can't find a single thread.

Roland voiced her doubts, and Nightingale immediately frowned.

"Miss Roland, why did you suddenly request to dress as a maid? Has something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Roland pointed towards the ceiling and said in a helpless tone.

"It's because of Ms. Tree."

"She worked overtime until she was delirious and exhausted. I'm going to be her secretary and help her with the administrative affairs of the residential area."

Three question marks appeared above the nightingale's head, and she looked confused.

"Why does the secretary wear a maid's outfit?"

"Forehead……"

Roland pondered for a moment.

"She probably wanted to protest my exploitation and neglect in this way, after all, she's been working overtime 24 hours a day these past few days."

"And because I was busy reselling grain to earn gold coins, I forgot for a moment that she was working overtime non-stop."

The nightingale glanced sideways, silently retorting in her heart.

protest?

How is that possible!

Although Ms. Tree has not yet shown any interest in Roland.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

As the saying goes, three hundred tree spirits are as fierce as wolves and tigers, and six hundred can sit still and suck up the soil.

As an elderly tree, Ms. Tree's strength should not be underestimated.

Making Roland wear a maid outfit today is definitely not a good thing!

This wasn't because she had paranoia, but because Roland was simply too alluring and tempting.

The nightingale's mind raced, and she narrowed her large eyes, a clever idea popping into her head.

She smiled.

"Miss Roland, I've put your... Cospree clothes in another wardrobe. Let me get them for you."

"What style would you like to wear? Conservative, or something bolder and more daring?"

Nightingale emphasized the words "bold and unrestrained" slightly, which immediately made Roland shake her head repeatedly.

"No, no, no, it's conservative!"

"I want something conservative, the more conservative the better!"

Roland's voice was strong and clear, her eyes were firm, like a powerful warrior about to train his body.

The nightingale gave her an "I knew it" look.

Although Roland is beautiful and alluring, she is not the kind of seductive slut that appears outwardly.

Given the options, people will almost always choose conservative clothing.

"In that case, Miss Roland, please wait here for a moment while I go and choose a suitable outfit for you."

Three minutes later, Nightingale returned with a light step, carrying her maid outfit.

She stopped in front of Roland and displayed her clothes to Roland.

Roland's eyes lit up. She reached out and took the bag, then turned and went into the changing room to change.

After a while, Roland came out, lifting her skirt.

This is an extremely conservative maid outfit, with a long skirt that reaches all the way to the ankles and sleeves that cover the wrists.

Needless to say, the front of the dress is completely covered with fabric, and even the neckline is buttoned up to the middle of the neck.

The only problem is that even conservative clothing can't hide Roland's charm.

His bulging chest stretched the fabric taut, as if the buttons would pop off at any moment and hit the person opposite him in the face.

The nightingale was somewhat bothered by this, but was generally satisfied.

She stood beside Roland and handed her a pair of gloves.

"Miss Roland, and these gloves too."

"How about it? This outfit is conservative enough, isn't it? Pure work attire, no stains, and not even your hands are showing."

With gloves on, Roland looked every bit the domestic maid.

She is the kind of respectable maid who does housework, doesn't seduce her master, and doesn't ask her master whether to eat first or eat herself first.

When she heard the nightingale's question, she first nodded, then hesitated.

"Miss Tree, do you not like this outfit?"

"I feel like she actually wanted to see me being shy and awkward, but wearing such a conservative outfit wouldn't have the desired effect."

Nightingale's lips twitched.

Needless to say, they definitely wouldn't be happy about it.

It's as if some people might not want to see the beautiful girl's shy demeanor.

But she still put on a stern face and answered righteously.

"Ms. Tree will certainly like it."

"What she really wants is for you to help her share the workload, not to embarrass you."

Roland wholeheartedly agreed and smiled brightly.

She first thanked Nightingale for finding the clothes, then went into her office.

After packing her work documents into her spatial ring, Roland hummed a little tune as she walked back to the Sky Garden.

……

A hanging garden, beneath the tree of harvest.

Ms. Shu continued to diligently revise the documents.

The emerald green hair curled and intertwined at the ends, transforming into six tentacles, each holding a quill pen, moving back and forth across the document.

Although she was busy with work, her mood improved somewhat, which was rare.

It's not just about having an Ascension Potion to drink later, but also about having the service of the maid, Loran.

The thought of Roland dressed in a seductive maid outfit, calling out to him in a soft, sweet voice, and providing attentive service made him speed up his document approval process.

At that moment, Roland appeared in the garden and walked towards Lady Tree.

"Miss Tree, I'm back~" A charming voice reached her ears, and Ms. Shu looked up with delight.

Upon seeing his rear end, his smile froze instantly.

Holy crap! What's going on?

"Miss Roland, why are you dressed so old-fashioned!"
