"[Hmmm, if you've got something that can help you communicate better in Japanese instead of French all the time, that would be great. I'm afraid of running out of French words at this rate,]" Otoha chuckled. "[Also, you don't have ANYTHING on you!? This needs fixing! This needs... SHOPPING. Unless you want to wear a French Maid outfit, that's fine too, I got one of those.]"

To prove that point, Otoha snapped her fingers, prompting one of the closets to open and reveal a... fairly alluring pink French Maid outfit. Complete with the short fluffy skirt and cat ear headband to boot.

Oh, and to Louise's shock, it would look almost exactly like the one she wore back at Scarron's during that one undercover operation with Saito.

Meanwhile, sounds could be heard downstairs.

"... I'm ho-Ho-Hotaru-chan!?"
"S-Sorry... one of her trap-"
"Don't worry about it, I figured as much. Let me get you back upstairs then."

As soon those words were spoken, a pink magic circle appeared behind Louise before Aisia and Hotaru materialized from it, with Aisia trying to support Hotaru's weight.
"... Otoha, you really need to get rid of those damned trap doors," Aisia groaned, apparently still oblivious to Louise's presence.

... That might suddenly change very very quickly at this point.

"I'm afraid I can't help with the language. I only know a few," Louise replied to the best of her ability. While the 'void' element was a powerful and curious one, an ability to magically shift linguistic skills was not one of its inherent abilities. That she had cast a spell on Saito that allowed him to understand her and speak her language while trying to cast a 'mute' spell was complete accidental miracle, not skill. Though in response she did switch to the other language she was fairly proficient in, one that would be 'English' in Hyakuji. "Is this language any better? I heard a few people speak it before in town."

Otoha wouldn't respond immediately, sticking to the more familiar first language. "Also, you don't have ANYTHING on you!?"

"...No... I wasn't expecting to--"

"This needs fixing!" Otoha interrupted. "This needs... SHOPPING. Unless you want to wear a French Maid outfit, that's fine too, I got one of those." Even before the finger snap, Louise felt she wouldn't like what was about to happen. She was right. What Otoha produced was the uniform of a maid, but not just any maid. It was strikingly similar to the very outfit that Scarron had had made for her while working at the Charming Fairy Inn and even included a pair of feline-looking ears on a headband.

"No, no thank you," Louise replied curtly with her hands balled into fists. She couldn't retaliate against her master--and didn't have a wand to speak of anyway--but seeing that uniform brought back some rather unfortunate memories. Not that the Charming Fairy Inn was a bad place or that Scarron was a bad person but... many unfortunate things had happened while wearing that uniform.

The anger she felt towards the maid outfit would become redirected almost immediately. A glowing pink magic circle appeared in the middle of the room, drawing Louise's attention. From the circle appeared Otoha's sister as well as...

"AHHH! It's that horrible angry tramp with the bow who was clinging onto Saito! Wh-wh-what is she doing here!?" Louise shouted in her native tongue, stabbing an accusing finger right at Aisia's cute little head. "Get her out of here before she fills this room with her annoying noise!"

"[AHHH! It's that horrible angry tramp with the bow who was clinging onto Saito! Wh-wh-what is she doing here!?]" Louise suddenly yelled.
"... What." Aisia blinked as Louise's presence was finally made known to her.
"[Get her out of here before she fills this room with her annoying noise!]"

"Do you know her, Aisia-chan?" Hotaru asked.
"... All too well," Aisia angrily said. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just teleport her ass to a very painful place, like right into the sun."
"Because you would be killing someone very useful to me," Otoha growled, sounding deathly serious for some reason.

To Louise, it might sound like Otoha was trying to defend her, but to Hotaru, there was no mistaking the venom that coated her older sister's words. This wasn't just her threatening Aisia to stand down - there was killing intent behind those words.
This kind of killing intent was meant only for the Supernatural enemies that Otoha and Hotaru were sworn to defeat as members of Arcadia, not against friends.
O... Onee-chan!?
Quiet. The fastest way to stifle malicious intent is always killing intent.


Indeed, it seemed to make Aisia snap out of her reverie. "Wait, what do you mean 'someone useful to you'?"
"<I take it you didn't get Miyuki's memo,>" Otoha said, reverting back to her more normal inflection of voice and speaking in English for everyone's benefit. "<Starting today, Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière is my maid. I'm not sure how this works, but me gusta.>"

Aisia looked at Otoha in disbelief, looked at Louise, then started to snort for a bit before entering a full-blown guffaw. "Ahahahaha! Oh man, I'm sorry, but I thought I heard Otoha just say that she has you as a maid," she said when she finished laughing. Of course, Hotaru didn't refute it, and infact shook her head in resignation.
"... I'm not sure who to be more sorry for. You for getting such an incompetent maid, or her for having... well, YOU for a master. Either way, as long as you can control her and keep her from blowing up Fudo, I won't complain. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just return to my own room."

With that, a ring of pink magical energy appeared at her feet, swallowing her in its light before she disappeared.
Otoha sighed. "... I think it's getting worse..." she sighed before turning to Louise. "<Anyway, I won't have you trying to pick fight with the other residents either. If you get in an altercation with ANYONE I KNOW I'll assume it's your fault and punish you for it regardless. If you cannot be civil, hold your tongue. But do not do or say anything that might piss them off. Do I make myself clear?>" Otoha sternly admonished Louise in English. "<In case you forgot, that's what got you in trouble in the first place. Do not do anything like that without my permission.>"
"<... Wait, without your permission?>" Hotaru sighed. "<Why would she need permission?>"
"<In case I DO want to troll them and piss them off. Now isn't the time for that though. Anyway, let's go clothes shopping, shall we? That way you won't be just wearing that and you can get something nice for yourself! My treat,>" Otoha said, now back to her cheerful self. "<If you can't accept it, just look at it as if I'm doing my duty as a noble, taking care of the commoners under her.>"

As predicted, the annoying green-bow-girl spoke absolutely none of any language Louise understood, instead switching to that horrendously nasal high-pitched squeak of a voice that drove the pink-haired heiress up the wall. To make matters worse, Otoha explained Louise's presence in a language that the Valliére did understand, meaning that this tramp must therefore be able to understand the same language. She chose not to speak it on purpose!

Laughing, however, was universal. Louise reached into her mantle and retrieved the riding crop she had brought along, holding it tightly in her hand. She couldn't actually use it, but holding it at least allowed her to visualize using it to some degree which in turn calmed her. Though Aisia was laughing at the situation Louise couldn't object. Otoha was telling the truth, after all. Fortunately Aisia didn't stay long after that outburst, vanishing back into the magic ring and leaving the room. Louise was in the middle of putting the crop back into her pocket when Otoha turned on her.

"Anyway, I won't have you trying to pick fight with the other residents either. If you get in an altercation with ANYONE I KNOW I'll assume it's your fault and punish you for it regardless. If you cannot be civil, hold your tongue. But do not do or say anything that might piss them off. Do I make myself clear? In case you forgot, that's what got you in trouble in the first place. Do not do anything like that without my permission."

"I understand," Louise muttered. What else was there to say? In her mind it simply meant that she would have to be as quiet as possible when around anyone except the Kaguras. She didn't like anyone else here. Well... except for Kouta, anyway. So since she knew she wouldn't be able to say anything positive this was the start of a pact to remain mute while in public.

"...Wait, without your permission?" Hotaru asked. "Why would she need permission?"

"In case I DO want to troll them and piss them off. Now isn't the time for that though. Anyway, let's go clothes shopping, shall we? That way you won't be just wearing that and you can get something nice for yourself! My treat." Had the conversation ended there, Louise would have shaken off her unhappiness and tried to look on the brighter side of things, agreeing to go along without hesitation. Otoha, however, never did know when to quit. It was half her troll self and half never having owned a servant who was in fact nobility. "If you can't accept it, just look at it as if I'm doing my duty as a noble, taking care of the commoners under her."

Louise froze, staring at the floor and shaking. Rather than being able to let the anger calm down into a simmer that could be safely tucked away it started to bubble over until she couldn't control herself anymore. Were she to have her wand this was usually the moment when the room would experience a sudden increase and pressure resulting in the window blowing outward with explosive force. Since she didn't have a way to cast magic her rage could only express itself with words. "C...C.....Commoner... I... L-Louise Françoise le Blanc d-de la Vallière a c-commoner...!?" Her face shot up from staring downward, locking eyes with Otoha. "No contract, no matter what it is will ever make me a commoner! I am a proud noble of the Vallière household and I will not be deferred to such a lowly status even if I am to be your servant! You should be overjoyed that such a noble woman is to serve you! Do not confuse it for serfdom! Understand!?"

Was she... defying her master?

"<C...C.....Commoner... I... L-Louise Françoise le Blanc d-de la Vallière a c-commoner...!?>"
Hotaru gasped at the sudden outburst from Louise even as the pink Lemon aide raised her head and spoke directly to her Master.
"<No contract, no matter what it is will ever make me a commoner! I am a proud noble of the Vallière household and I will not be deferred to such a lowly status even if I am to be your servant! You should be overjoyed that such a noble woman is to serve you! Do not confuse it for serfdom! Understand!?>"
Otoha merely looked on at Louise during this outburst, looking almost shocked that she would be spoken to like this. But soon, that look of shock contorted itself into a very wide toothed grin.

"<YES! THAT'S EXACTLY THE LOOK I WANT TO SEE!>" Otoha cheered as she jumped up and tightly hugged Louise.
... Wait, what?
"<Yes, the lemon who shows her true, honest, sour self. Not the one who gets diluted by sugar when made into lemonade, but the one who, if you are brash enough to lick her directly, will cause your lips to pucker out of reflex. A tsundere is good, but I would rather have an angry maid who voices her honest feelings than a proud noble who hides it all inside. You're too cute of a girl to allow yourself to be uninteresting by hiding your true feelings. It also takes less energy to tell me what you really feel inside than it is to hide it and just blow shit up instead.>"
Hotaru sighed. "<... I'm surprised you didn't say that it's not fun when they don't resist instead.>"
"<Well that too, but I'd like to think I'm NOT that sadistic,>" Otoha said as she continued to hug her maid. "<Allright. I'm sorry I called you a commoner, and I won't call you that again. In return, don't call me Master. Unless I ask you to. You know, for moe reasons. I am simply Hinata, or Otoha, whichever you prefer, and you are simply Louise. Understand?>"

Without skipping a beat, Otoha kissed Louise on the forehead and let go so that she could go pick out something to wear. "<Now then, as soon as I'm changed, let's go, shall we? Let's get something for you to wear so that those aren't the only things you wear during your stay in this world, allright?>"

Rather than be angry or punish Louise for the outburst, Otoha squealed in joy and hugged her instead. Louise was, understandably, left completely unguarded by the sudden affection. Hadn't she just acted out in blatant defiance? Hadn't doing that usually resulted in uncomfortable situations back in Tristain and elsewhere? So then why was this one time when she asserted her status...actually resulted in a positive outcome? "Yes, the lemon who shows her true, honest, sour self," Otoha started to explain even as she squeezed Louise tightly against her bosom. "Not the one who gets diluted by sugar when made into lemonade, but the one who, if you are brash enough to lick her directly, will cause your lips to pucker out of reflex. A tsundere is good, but I would rather have an angry maid who voices her honest feelings than a proud noble who hides it all inside. You're too cute of a girl to allow yourself to be uninteresting by hiding your true feelings. It also takes less energy to tell me what you really feel inside than it is to hide it and just blow shit up instead."

"I'm surprised you didn't say that it's not fun when they don't resist instead," Hotaru added.

"Well that too, but I'd like to think I'm NOT that sadistic. Allright. I'm sorry I called you a commoner, and I won't call you that again. In return, don't call me Master. Unless I ask you to. You know, for moe reasons. I am simply Hinata, or Otoha, whichever you prefer, and you are simply Louise. Understand?"

"I u--"

Otoha kissed her on the forehead and strode over to the dresser to find something proper to wear rather than just an overshirt and a pair of plain panties. Louise yet again had to shake off her confusion at the affectionate gesture and wonder when it would be safe to open her mouth again. "Now then, as soon as I'm changed, let's go, shall we? Let's get something for you to wear so that those aren't the only things you wear during your stay in this world, allright?"

"All right, M...Otoha," Louise agreed, calmed down in a flash. Though her anger had built up so spectacularly earlier now it had all been vented and miraculously no people nor property had been injured nor damaged in the process. There was, however, one last thing she wanted to mention before they left. If she would be free to voice her mind, then she needed to say this before it was forgotten. "So that 'Lemon' comment... wasn't about being 'bright and sunny' or 'wise' or 'giving relief', is it."

I knew he was lying, she thought, thinking back to Kouta's sincere smile as he cleverly hid the truth behind the nickname. Louise would have to remember that for the next time they met.

"<Eh? Lemon comment? He was probably showing you another side of what a lemon could be, whatever he was talking about,>" Otoha said as she put on her usual black and yellow beige uniform-like dress. "<Lemons ARE bright and sunny, and can also give relief, as Lemonade, for one. He wasn't wrong or lying to you, he just only showed you one side of the Lemon Party.>"

Hotaru, on the other hand, finally managed to get into a green blouse and a pair of jeans. "<I'm coming along, just to make sure Onee-chan doesn't get you in trouble.>"
"<For shame! I wouldn't dare do that to my little Pink Lemon Aide!>"
"<... I can't believe you just said that.>"
"<Anyway, let's go!>" Otoha cheered, and put on her black Windscale Fedora hat before picking up Louise and tucking her under her arm. "<TO THE SHOPPING DISTRICT! WITH THE SPEED OF KENYANS! HWACHAAAAA~>"
"<ONEE-CHAN!>" Hotaru groaned as she ran after her sister and locked the room behind her.

And so the quest to give Louise more garments begins!
