Fatima looks around her own outfit, seemingly unaware of what she is wearing.
「Why are you dressed like a maid?」
「Eh? Alex, what are you talking about? This is my job」
Fatima tells him with an obvious look on her face.
But Alexis freezes.
Alexis' reaction makes Fatima realize...
「...What? Didn't I tell you that?」
「No, you didn't!」
Alexis responded without thinking.
「Oh, I see... I used to be a maid for the Princess-maiden. Before I came to this fortress, I often served as her personal attendant. I really wanted to follow in her footsteps and learn swordsmanship, but I had no talent for it... It's a shame, even though I come from an aristocratic family of knights, [Cavalero]. I guess all my talents have been taken by my big brothers and little sisters. And so I became a conjurer, a role that can be fulfilled only with magic. Because anyone with the rank of priest can use magic」
Fatima smiles softly at him after she speaks and Alexis could only reply half-heartedly, "I see".
But still, a maid. That Fatima to be a maid.
Fatima, who usually looks cool and rarely smiles, is a maid.
(I see...)
While Alexis is looking distant, Fatima says, "Oh, by the way," and starts to talk.
「Are you tired and fell asleep last night? If so, you should soak yourself in the bathtub to get rid of the tiredness. Why don't you go there now? It feels good in the bathroom in the morning. I also like to take a bath in the morning, and Sara and I often take a bath together first thing in the morning」
Very thoughtful and considerate.
But why didn't she just say it straight? Just complain that Alexis was stinky.
Still, Alexis has a reason not to bathe at this time.
「Well, yeah. I appreciate the concern, but there's a circumstance...」
「Circumstances?」
「Y-yeah. I'll go in before I go to bed, so give me a break for the rest of the day...」
Fatima looks doubtful when Alexis speaks inarticulately.
「But that's a bit of nui— Ah, nothing. Well, I think morning is better. Are you different?」
"She just called me a nuisance, right? I'm pretty sure she did"

Alexis puts on a smile, albeit an awkward one while he thinks this.
