AN: Haha! You thought that this chapter was going to come out last Wednesday? Too bad it was an April fools joke! Nah just kidding that wasn't a part of the joke. This chapter was originally planned to come out then but I ran into complications. As you all know, I am quite a video game fanatic and I got into Ark recently. Our Tribe of 8 players joined a freshly wiped server and began to build our power silently. After we were strong and had relatively powerful tames we decided to pay a visit to the locals and Raided the fuck out of everyone, Including the alpha tribe in the server. Spoiler alert it was a huge mistake. We made an enemy with everyone on the server and because of that all of our bases would get scouted out by randos and get reported the alpha tribe. So slowly but surely all of our animals were killed and the resources that we got from raiding were all wasted on the war effort. In summary, we got shot in both of our legs and bleed out slowly.
Thank Fallomic for beta reading this chapter.

"Lisa Lochiert!" Did Roswaal mispronounce her name? The thought crossed Subaru's mind but was shot down when she gave a slight bow upon being addressed.
"Lisa?" Emilia says with a head tilt. She seems to be just as confused as he was. To this, the clown smiled.
"Mhmm, that's right. She must have told you her original name correct? This poor woman shared the same name as the innnfamous bowel hunter. If that wasn't enough, her visage is her that assassin's spitting image. Oh, the horror! Could you imaginne what kind of trouble that would get her in? That would be like if you went around calling yourself Satella-"
Emilia flinches.
"Roswaal." The great spirit of fire says with a sharp glare. His voice is tense and Subaru could feel the room drop a couple of degrees. Although the spirit said nothing else, the message was clear. "Choose your next words carefully."
"I didn't meannn any offense, it was merely a-" Before Roswaal could elaborate Emilia interrupted him.
"No... I understand. If she continued to use that name it would only cause trouble."
'Emilia, you big idiot.' Subaru thought with an eye twitch. Subaru even if she didn't technically ever use that name in this loop, she had done it before in his first one. If Satella was truly the worst of the worst, why would you introduce yourself to someone while using her name? Subaru couldn't wrap his head around that. If she were to introduce herself to someone else like that would she have been in big trouble? Subaru dismissed those thoughts when she remembered their earlier conversation. She had thought that because she was a half-elf that she didn't deserve any friends. Because of this, he assumed that the reason she did that is to stop her from being so nice to her, which Subaru still found stupid.
"Nooow then, we can't have the food go cooold can't we?"As he finished that the maid did what the came to do. The plates were distributed and Elsa naturally took her spot standing next to Subaru. However, she didn't sit his food down in front of him but instead leans forward and smiles.
"Would you like me to feed you, my master?"
"H-hey aren't you going a little overboard!?" He fades with a blush coloring his cheeks. Subaru wondered what kind of flag he was able to raise for this but didn't really question it. He was more focused on the pretty lady in front of him.
"I...don't have any reason to decline." The maid scooped up a spoonful of the food on his plate and Subaru closed his eyes to avoid looking awkward.
"Wow, this is amazing! Did you guys always eat this good!? Seriously, I'm so jealous." He said eagerly waiting for the next bite of food. Emilia witnesses Subaru indulge his desires with a flat look on her face. She feels annoyed but doesn't understand why she feels that way.
"Dunderhead…" She mutters under her breath before eating some of her food. As soon as it reaches her taste buds her eyes widen. As expected the food tasted good however as someone who ate Rem's cooking she could tell that this was not the same.
"I'm glad you are enjoying my cooking, master." She says with her cheeks tinged slightly pink. She was happy to see that this skill that she learned in her past life under Pride. In an effort to appear more womanly for the archbishop develop housewife skills like cooking and cleaning. Unfortunately, he didn't care for any of that. Every time she would try to make something he would refuse to eat it. Every time she would clean it would go noticed by the sin.
Even if she would be ignored she continued to do these things believing that someday he could eventually accept her. Even if it became nothing more than a faraway fantasy.
"Els-Lisa enough with that!"
'That feeling again.' the half-elf thinks to herself. Not knowing what this feeling was or why she was feeling it, she frowned. Even if she didn't know what the feeling was she was certain that she was feeling this way was because of what Lisa was doing.
Thinking about her Emilia remembered her unfortunate circumstance and the fact that she had to give up her name. What was strange was that their names weren't similar but exactly the same. She would leave it alone because Lisa seemed like a nice enough person and Roswaal trusted her enough to allow her to work here.
"Subaru."
"Huh?" The teen turns to see Emilia offering to feed him some of her own food.
"Emilia-tan what are you doing?"
"Isn't this what friends do?" She said with a confused head tilt that Subaru found cute.
Who the hell was he to deny this? He was about to share an indirect kiss with Emilia. The thought of that made his face heat up.
"Bubby!" Just as he's about to take up her offer, Puck flies from Beatrice's hand and floats in front of Emilia's spoon effectively blocking passage between the two.
"Aw come on Puck! What gives?" Subaru says in annoyance.
"Like you guys were getting a tooo comfortable hehe." Puck smirked unapologetically.
"Dad!" Emilia shouts obviously upset at her father's intervention.
Eventually, Emilia gave up on trying to mimic Lisa's actions because Puck made it clear that he would continue being a nuisance if she kept trying. She didn't know why her father was doing this but now she realized why she felt the way she did.
It was because she was jealous.
Subaru was her best friend and yet she hasn't been able to do anything with him. First, he left early to go looking for Lisa and now they were acting all...whatever! Emilia sighs before shooting an annoyed look in Puck's way. Because Puck could detect her emotions he knew she was upset.
Puck felt bad for making Emilia upset but after detecting Subaru's not so innocent emotions he spurred into action to protect his daughter. While he was grateful for Subaru's kindness, he couldn't allow his daughter to be taken away by him. Although Emilia couldn't sort her emotions Puck could tell exactly where that would lead her.
Emilia finished her meal in silence while trying her best to ignore Subaru and Lisa. Thankfully it didn't take long for him to finish his food.
"Before you go about your day Subaru-kunn, I have one last thing I would like to discuss with you."
"I'm all ears," Subaru said in a carefree manner. He was having quite a good time and this Roswaal character seemed to be a rather swell guy.
"Since you saved Emilia's candidacyyy is there anything you want in return for your deeds?"
"Like a reward? I thought my residency was the reward!" Subaru said doing a double-take
"Think of that as a from the heart." The clown says with a grin.
"A reward huh?" Subaru said while holding his chin in a thinking manner. Subaru thinks for a moment about this but couldn't come up with anything. Because of this, he is about to turn down the reward but a memory of a promise he made stops him.
"I would greatly appreciate it if you continued protecting me in this world! Even though I don't have any money to my name, I'll find some way to repay you eventually!" That's right, he promised that he would be able to pay Lisa for her continued service to him.
"I want lots and lots of money!"

"Agh," Subaru groans into his sheets. Why did he have to say it like that? He really couldn't have thought of a better way to say what he wanted? Roswaal was nice enough to allow him to stay as a member of his mansion. And what did he do?
"I think you did a good job asking for what you wanted," Emilia says in an attempt to cheer the boy up.
"You sure I didn't sound like a scumbag?" Subaru lays on his side and looks at her.
"Of course not! If anything, you sounded like a little kid."
"That feels even worse for some reason…" His face falls back onto the bed defeatedly.
"S-sorry." She said shrinking away.
After a few seconds, Subaru sighs before sitting next to Emilia.
"There's no need to apologize. I was the one who messed up. Anyways don't you think you were a little harsh to Puck back there?"
Emilia huffs before leaning back against the bed frame.
"Nope, he was being selfish!" This Subaru could agree to. He held nothing against Puck but back there he was being an annoying cock block. To be fair, it was possible Puck read his emotions back there and determined that his intent wasn't exactly pure. No matter how aggravating it was he could admit that fact. So he didn't blame Puck for attacking the way he did especially cause Emilia was a daughter to him
Knowing this he could let Emilia take all of her ire out on him. Although he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it a bit.
"Still Puck's like your dad, right? You should make up later."
"Of course I will. He just needs to stop acting so selfish."
Subaru gets out of the bed and picks up the pouch full of coins that he asked for.
"Since I'm not doing anything, might as well see how much is in here." He spills the pouch out on a desk and is surprised with how much comes out of it. He knew that it was a lot due to the heaviness of the pouch but having it scattered across the table really put it to scale. After counting them individually he knew that given 60 of them. He wasn't very familiar with the currency of this world but he was sure that these were called holy coins. He recalled Felt getting excited over his phone which was worth about 25 so this many of them are probably a fortune.
He scoops the coins back into the coin pouch but not before slipping one into his pocket. He could probably practice coin tricks if he got bored, plus it was pretty cool looking since it had a dragon engraved on it. After doing that he puts the pouch in one of the desk drawers.
Just as he finishes, he hears someone knock on his room door.
"May I come in?" The muffled voice says from the other side.
"Yeah."
The door opens revealing Lisa holding something that he had been looking for what seemed like ages.
"My tracksuit!" The boy says happily. Lisa hands it over to him and is pleased to see the wide smile plastered on his features.
"Sorry for taking it. I noticed how ragged it had gotten after our encounter with her so I took it upon myself to make the necessary repairs." She apologizes with a slight bow.
"Thanks but next time be sure to tell me first haha." The teen says sheepishly.
Lisa looks to her left and notices the silver-haired half. Much like Emilia's father, she also thought that these two were getting too close. Well, it was to be expected at this point. She knew Pride was obsessed with this girl in the last world as well. Though she was able to keep her displeasure hidden.
"Subaru…"
"Huh?"
"Can you read this?" She says while pulling out a book. Subaru gazes at its cover before shifting awkwardly on the ball of his foot.
"I take that as a no," That was surprising to her but not a way someone else would think. When she first met Pride he had difficulty reading. Though those problems weren't present later on. What surprised her is that he didn't seem to be able to read this at all. It wasn't anything difficult either. It was merely the cover of a children's book.
"I know how to read! Just not this language..." The teen grumbles. Being technically illiterate was embarrassing.
"I understand Subaru-sama. That's why I plan to teach you this." She said with a disarming smile. Her eyes traveled to the silver-haired half-elf. Now was a good time to get rid of the girl.
"I apologize for the inconvenience but my master is easily distracted. So if it isn't too much trouble, I'd like to keep them down to a minimum." Subaru wanted to refute that claim but at the same time, she was right. He had always been the type to try and get out of work and having Emilia here while he was studying probably wouldn't be ideal.
"Huh? O-oh I understand." She gets off of Subaru's bed and heads to the door. However, before she leaves she turns to face Subaru while she stands within the doorframe.
"Subaru can we do this again sometime? This "hanging out" thing? I mean if you don't want to I'll understand but-"
"Sure! That's what friends do Emilia." Subaru interrupts her with a thumbs up before she continues with her self-deprecating attitude.
Emilia pauses for a moment as if she didn't expect Subaru to accept her offer. Slowly a smile made its way onto her features.
"Okay, so you guys later," Emilia cheerfully before leaving them to their own devices.
Now that they were alone, Lisa approaches Subaru and places the book down on the desk. Subaru clears his throat before adjusting before posture. Lisa looks at him with a curious glint in her eyes.
"Before we start with this, I've been meaning to talk with you…" Subaru starts nervously.
"Oh~?" Her voice rolls out sensually making the teen inaudibly gulp. Why was he so nervous all of a sudden? Now that it was just the two of them the atmosphere seemed to change.
"I have a lot of things I want to say but the first one is if you are really okay with giving up your name?" She feels a warm sensation fill her chest once she hears Subaru's worried tone. He was just so sweet. She felt good knowing that Subaru was thinking about well-being. It made her feel...wanted.
Noticing her lack of reply Subaru elaborates in his next sentence.
"I mean if I was forced to change my name because of someone else, I would be upset."
"A name that allows me to stay with you is enough for me," Lisa states honestly. She didn't want to have any association with this world's bowel hunter.
"Really? Just because of that?" Lisa merely hums in agreement. Subaru didn't understand her all that well but decided not to comment on it.
"Also why did you want me to look out for Roswaal. I haven't known him for long but he seems to be a rather swell guy. He granted me residency, is backing your new identity, and even gave in to my selfish request." The teen lists off.
"In truth, I didn't quite know him well myself. In my previous world, the man was shrouded in mystery. The only thing I did know is that he was...interested in you to say the least." Lisa explains carefully to avoid giving out too much information.
"Interested in me?" Subaru repeats with a blank look on his face.
"You don't mean...Oh, God." She didn't mean for him to take it in that way however she wasn't going to correct his misinterpretation. With him thinking like that she wouldn't have to tell him the exact reason why she wanted him to look out for him. He would also not take things actually to their face value.
"Does that mean the 'me' from your world swung the other way!?" Subaru blurts out suddenly. He supposed that was the only way to make sense of this thing. Like how Lisa was trying so hard for him before he even made it here.
Lisa smirks, she would neither confirm nor deny this.
"Okay enough of this! Let's just get on with learning this." He turns around in his chair to face the desk again. He made it obvious that he doesn't wanna talk anymore about the previous subject.
And thus begin Lisa's first tutoring session.
The studying that went on for the next few hours went by uneventfully. The first thing she did was teach him the alphabet. Or whatever this world's equivalent to an alphabet was. It was kind of difficult at first but now Subaru could recognize some of the basic glyphs. From there he learned a few grade school level words like 'day' or 'night'. However, as this went on Lisa noticed his enthusiasm for the subject noticeably decrease.
"I believe that is enough for today Subaru-sama."
"But I can keep going," Subaru said while turning to face his maid.
"While that is true I believe that it would be better to spread out things like this instead of forcing you to learn as much as possible. You aren't under a time limit." She explains in a matter a fact manner that offered no room for arguments. Subaru yawns before laying flat against the chair.
Just as he relaxes a sudden warmth envelops him.
"Wha-" Subaru is confused to find that Lisa took it upon herself to embrace him from behind. Her arms hung over his shoulders and she found her way in the space between his neck and shoulders.
"I think it's about time for me to receive my payment."
"O-oh yeah. I got it right here…" Subaru's hand shakily reaches for the drawer that he had put his pouch in only to be stopped by Lisa firmly grasping his wrist.
"When I said payment, I wasn't referring to that…" Subaru swallowed thickly at the implication. Suddenly the chair gets pulled back till there it's a moderate distance away from the desk. Lisa stands up to her full height and walks around him with slow but deliberate steps giving off the air of authority. She lifts her leg over his before she straddles his waist. Because she is now at eye level with him she pauses for a moment taking in the sight. His handsome face tinted red because of her close proximity. And his eyes…
She could get used to how they look. No malice, no hatred, and no madness. It was just Natsuki Subaru. She reaches forward and gently caresses his cheek. She would never allow the events in her world to repeat nor would she let those scary eyes of his lose their light.
"I must be the luckiest woman in the world to have such a handsome master~," The woman says with a sultry look on her face.
"...You're really pretty…" Came Subaru's stiff and awkward reply. He inwardly cringed at how pathetic his voice sounded at the moment. He was completely out of his element here. He was so used to being the one chasing after a girl not being chased himself. He also realized how ironic it was for her to call him "master". That name would imply that he was the one in control which was obviously not the case here. On a side note, he still wasn't used to being called that. He didn't want to be called that however, he gave up on trying to tell her that because she explained that it was the appropriate term to refer to him given her role as his maid.
She blushes at his compliment and feels her heart rush. Unable to hold back her affection for the boy she pounces.
"Ah!" Subaru quickly closes his mouth to avoid any other stupid sounds from coming out of his mouth. She was so unpredictable and her actions were so forthcoming.
Right now she was planting little love bites starting at the base of his neck before she worked her way up close to his ear.
"You can use those hands of yours," Lisa whispers before nipping at his earlobe. Subaru realized his hands were up in the air since when she took her place on his lap. It was likely a reflex but that didn't matter now. He slowly brings down his hands. He pauses because he doesn't know where to put them. After a moment of thinking, he does what feels natural and slowly wraps his arms around her and embraces her slender frame. She melts to his touch and allows her body to be pulled in.
'She smells nice…' The Return by Death user idly thinks as he enjoys the warmth of a woman's body pressed up against his own. She leans back slightly and looks into his eyes. Subaru freezes as he once again finds himself lost in those beautiful dark purple eyes of hers. Her face begins to move closer to his own as she closes her eyes. The boy has seen enough of this on T.V to know what she was closing in for. She claims his lips with a passionate kiss. While this happens Subaru feels her hands slip under his shirt as they begin feeling around.
Once again he is left in the dark on what to do. Feeling Lisa's hands travel around his body he decides to do some exploring of his own. Building enough confidence he timidly moves his down onto her exposed thighs.
Then something pokes her. So she breaks the kiss out of confusion. There wasn't anything there at first and she was sure Subaru wasn't holding anything. She pulls back to see what the opposing object was and notices a bulge in his nightwear.
"Sorry! I couldn't help it!" Looking back up, she sees Subaru with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Oh, my~ is this for me?" She says with a mischievous grin on her face."Paying me extra? You're so generous…" Lisa traces its length with her fingers and stops at its head. "...I'll be sure not to let it go to waste." She grips it through the fabric of his pants. Subaru stiffens as electric-like pleasure hits him as she starts to rub the head of this "foreign object" with her thumb and pointer finger.
She continues like this until she feels heat start to rise in her lower abdomen. Seeing him squirm as she "played" with him down there was turning her on. Then she gets an idea and stops using her fingers. Lisa angles herself over his member before lowering herself back down.
'I can feel it!' Subaru screams in his head after she takes her place back down. He could feel the shape of her womanhood through her panties. She waits for a few seconds getting used to feeling that part of him against her. She takes a snapshot of the moment in her mind as this would be used for her future fantasy's. Then she started moving her hips slowly, grinding against his penis. Elsa moans as she is thoroughly enjoying herself and begins picking up her pace.
Subaru can already feel his climax coming. After Lisa rubs the head of his member he was already on edge and going to send him over. It also didn't help that she was starting to get wet down there and her fluids were causing the fabric to mat against his penis which gave him an even better impression of her womanhood. Then there were her sexy fucking moans and his ears driving him crazy. Letting his lustful desire take over he moves his hands up from her thighs and grips her butt. Subaru enjoys the feeling of her soft butt in his hands but quickly regrets it once she stops moving her hips. He freezes once he notices the look in her eyes.
They looked...hungry.
The moment that thought passes through his head Lisa pounces again. Unlike last time she was far more ferocious. She takes his lips once more in a deep feverish kiss. Because of how much she was pushing against him the chair starts to tip over sending them both crashing down onto the floor. For some reason, Lisa didn't take notice of this at all because she didn't even break the kiss. When he hits the floor the air gets knocked out of him causing him to slightly part his lips.
Big mistake.
Lisa's tongue slips right into his mouth. Subaru is stunned at the invading appendage and on by reflex tries to get it out. Unfortunately, he found out that it would be impossible to do so because Lisa's tongue was bullying him. And on top of this, he needed to get a deep breath of air because the wind had gotten knocked out of him. As if he was surrendering, he taps at her side showing that he needs a break.
However, instead of allowing him air she grips onto his shirt and tears the thing off with minimum effort then resumes what she was doing earlier by grinding her hips. Subaru felt more waves of pleasure hit and while it felt amazing, that wasn't what he needed.
He needed air! He tries to lift her off of his body but like before it was also an impossible task because Lisa's locked to his sides with an iron-like grip effectively trapping him.
During this mess, he heard the door open but he couldn't see oh it was because his face was locked to Lisa's. And like before, she didn't even acknowledge that something happened. Before he could gesture for help from whoever was there, the door slammed shut. Subaru imagined that whoever that was, they didn't expect to see this.
Her movements quicken and his body goes rigid as he has the biggest orgasm in his life. His hips start to twitch as his own climax hits him in waves. Unlucky for him it also made him lose that precious oxygen that he was trying to get back so his vision started to blur and he felt his consciousness begin to slip away. Subaru start's to get sluggish as his arms start to slip from her body and fall to the floor. Lisa finally began to take notice of this because her movements ceased and she finally broke the kiss with a trail of saliva being. He gasps for air and his head is pounding.
Lisa's lips were moving but the sound was too muffled for him to understand what she was saying. She looks to be apologizing profusely but Subaru's oxygen-deprived brain is begging for rest so he gives in and lets his world begin to fade to black. Subaru's closing thoughts were if she was his or he actually hers. Upon seeing his eye shut panic strikes the heart of the maid. She quickly makes sure that he's alive and breathing before she takes a look at her handiwork.
She wasn't able to control herself when she was presented with such a fine gift and for that, she feels ashamed. He didn't look to be in any immediate danger but she would need to check his head to ensure that he wasn't hurt badly from the fall. She stands up and notices that he ended up ejaculating in his pants. While looking at his semi-erect member started feeling hot down there and wanted to be relieved. For the briefest moment, she had the idea of playing with it again and then getting it inside of her once it was back up.
No!
Lisa wouldn't allow herself to take advantage of him in his current state. She feels sick to her stomach for even humoring the vile action. What made it even worse was that it was still making her horny. She tries her best to keep the thought out of her mind and focuses on what she needs to do. Right now Subaru needs new clothes and she needs a change of underwear.

An: Wow, looks like we got that M rating sooner than expected. To be fair I didn't even intend for it to be this way. I was just writing and it...you know...happened. Like me know what you think about my first lemony scene ever and tell me what do you think. Also don't expect stuff like this to happen every chapter after this one. I'm not trying to make this into a fuck fest.
