The whirlpool dissipated around the outline of the terrace.
The Head Maid stared at the open door, the chilling sound within her shell as if blown from the Icebound Valley: "Did the maids open the door?"
Lu Li leapt from the Head Maid's arms, his tail curling around the door handle and pulling it.
Click.
The terrace door closed again.
"Raimy is amazing~"
Words of praise sounded from above, and the reluctant Lu Li was stretched like a noodle, lifted up, and held back in the Head Maid's embrace.
A palpable breeze seemed to turn the door handle with an invisible hand as the Head Maid returned to the bedroom, temporarily setting Lu Li down before heading to the living room.
Relying on her affection, Lu Li didn't wait in the bedroom. Shortly after the Head Maid left, he moved to the door and opened it, emerging into the hallway.
The passing Lizard Maid treated Lu Li as she would her mistress, letting him pass without any hindrance to the second floor of the living room.
