BXBX NOVEL Chapter 133: Back to The Estate!
The first thing Draco saw when he reached the Estate was a Drone stationed there that wasn't his.
He smiled, knowing full well who's it was, and left Dreadful there while entering the Estate with Zero materializing next to him and walking close to him.
"So, did you find anything?" Draco asked.
[Yes, Host. It seems there is a bigger plan out there they want you to be in the middle of.] Zero replied.
"Oh? They want to use me, huh?" Draco smiled while thinking back on his interaction with the beastmen.
"So this big plan is related to Fate, huh?"
[Indeed, Host. It seems someone very high-ranking amongst them is helping you kill him.]
"No wonder." Draco nodded.
It was pretty obvious; what other explanation would there be other than them wanting to kill Fate with his hands? But it's not like he was going to refuse a helping hand after all; whether they were there or not, he had to kill Fate to evolve.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I'm still looking forward to that competition, but before that, we have that battle tomorrow, we have to make our preparations." Draco said.
[Roger, Host.] Zero nodded.
A few moments later, they reached the wide gates of the Estate. Upon entering, Draco was welcomed by two rows of maids and butlers, as well as a group of chefs at the end of the row. Right in front of the door, 1 Butler and 1 maid were bowing in wait for Draco to reach their place.
"Welcome home, Master." They said it in unison.
"I see, you're the maids and butlers I asked for." He looked at them and said it calmly.
"Indeed, Master. I'm Marco, the Head Butler." The old-looking butler right in front of the door replied, still bowing.
"I'm Lisa, the Head Maid." The young woman close to him said she was also bowing with her hands, one on top of the other, on her maid dress.
"Good. You can do what you have to do." Draco dismissed them, and they made a path for him to enter.
Once one entered the estate, they were welcomed by a wide hall with stairs in the middle. There were 4 doors, 2 on each side before the stairs and the other behind the stairs.
Draco looked up, and there coming down the stairs was Elfina with a wide smile, portraying her happiness at seeing Draco after a long day at work.
"Zero, You do your work." Draco ordered as he looked straight at Elfina with a calm look.
[Roger, Host.] and she disappeared.
"Aren't you quite happy?" Once Elfina was close enough to Draco, he said.
Elfina heard this and got a little bit flustered before Draco opened his hands wide.
"Come here." he said.
Elfina looked at his hands and stopped in her tracks for a second before she slowly walked to hug him.
"Did you miss me?" Draco whispered in her ears.
"Mhm." Elfina replied shyly.
"How was today?" Draco asked.
"It was a little hard; I had quite a lot of customers." he replied, still enjoying the hug.
"Let's make you forget then, shall we?" Draco then said, once again whispering in her ear with his devil tongue.
"Mhm." Elfina replied.
And the two proceeded to go up, leaving behind the group of maids that were either blushing after hearing and seeing what happened or controlling themselves not to see and going to do what they had to do.

The next morning, Elfina woke to see Draco once again preparing coffee for her to drink while wearing his bathrobe.
"How are you feeling?" He asked once again.
"I'm feeling well, Thank you." She replied shyly, happy that she managed to get such a nice, handsome man.
"Good, You can prepare yourself; I will be waiting for you." He said as he went on to change himself into an outfit more suited for fights.
"Are you going on a mission?" Elfina looked at him and asked.
"No, I have a battle at the guild, and after that, I will go on a mission with my new party member." He replied.
"A battle? Against who?" She asked, slightly worried.
"Leona Lionheart." He replied calmly.
"Leona Lionheart? That Leona?" Elfina suddenly got up from her bed, shouting in surprise.
"I think so." Draco said.
"You can't; you're just a transcendent. She's unbeatable, even amongst Lord-Level Adventurers! She's the number 1." Elfina said as she was getting closer to Draco.
"Not for long." Draco replied with a smile. However, internally, he wasn't pleased with her overworrying.
'I didn't think it would be so annoying to have someone worry for you. It makes me feel weak.' He thought.
But when he then looked at her...
'Still, she looks quite cute, even while worried.' He thought as he smiled, before he bowed down to her level to do something that would shut her up.
"Don't worry..." He suddenly spoke while leaning back up.
"... I'm strong." He added and turned to leave.
"Draco." Elfina suddenly called, slightly blushing from Draco's previous action, but she had to say what she wanted to say.
"Hmm?" Draco turned to look at her.
"Well, you see. I have a week-long break coming soon, so... if you want..." she stopped blushing profusely while playing with her hands.
"Oh? That sounds good. Thank you for telling me, Elfina. Let's make some plans for us when we meet later today." He smiled and told her before he continued on his way out of the room, heading towards the drone.
"Zero." After entering his drone vehicle, the first thing Draco did was call for his useful assistant.
[Yes, Host.] Zero appeared right next to him a moment later, as she asked.
"Tell me, what is it that makes the beastmen so special?"
