[00:06] Yuuri
    I hired a maid recently.
[00:08] Yuuri
    She's hard-working and proper...
[00:16] Yuuri
    But I'm so curious about her that
    I can't focus on my own stuff.
[00:22] Yuuri
    Something's suspicious.
[00:24] Yuuri
    It's suspicious that such a fancy maid would
    come to work at such a tiny old mansion.
[00:29] Yuuri
    The other day, she was in the study,
[00:32] Yuuri
    muttering curses or something as she
    read some thick, suspicious book.
[00:38] Yuuri
    Also...
[00:39] Lilith
    May I be of assistance, young master?
[00:43] Yuuri
    These purple eyes of hers
    that seem to draw me in...
[00:46] Yuuri
    are suspicious!

[02:23] Yuuri
    Suspicious...
[02:24] Lilith
    Could it be...
[02:27] Lilith
    that you're very curious about me?
[02:29] Yuuri
    H-How could you tell?!
[02:33] Yuuri
    You can read my mind, can't you?!
[02:36] Yuuri
    I don't know if it's because I've never
    seen such a pretty maid before...
[02:39] Yuuri
    But I'm so curious about you that
    I can't even sleep at night.
[02:44] Yuuri
    You knew that, didn't you?!
[02:46] Lilith
    Yes.
[02:48] Yuuri
    What an amazing maid.
[02:49] Lilith
    Y-Young master, starting tonight, I'll prepare
    you an herb tea so that you can sleep better.
[02:55] Yuuri
    Yes, please do.
[03:01] Yuuri
    She really is suspicious.
[03:07] Yuuri
    Just who is she?
[03:11] Lilith
    Pardon me.
[03:14] Lilith
    Would you like some herb tea, young master?
[03:17] Yuuri
    Y-Yes, thank you.
[03:22] Lilith
    Every move she makes is suspicious.
[03:25] Lilith
    And she doesn't say much,
    so I don't know what she's thinking.
[03:37] Lilith
    Why have I hired such a suspicious maid?
[03:46] (Flashback) Employee A
    I apologize, young master.
[03:49] (Flashback) Employee A
    But with the master having passed...
[03:52] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I know.
[03:54] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Thank you all for everything.
[03:58] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Don't worry.
[03:59] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I'm the master of this mansion now.
[04:04] (Flashback) Employee A
    Understood.
[04:05] (Flashback) Employee A
    We'll be on our way now.
[04:08] (Flashback) Employee A
    Please take care of your health, young master.
[04:12] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Yeah. All of you, too.
[04:23] Yuuri
    After I lost my parents in a car accident,
    I decided to take over this mansion.
[04:30] Yuuri
    But the inheritance I got wasn't much,
    so I decided to dismiss all of my servants.
[04:35] Yuuri
    My relatives all opposed the idea, but I've
    decided to live by myself in this mansion.
[04:46] Yuuri
    All right.
[04:47] Yuuri
    Today's the day I get my life together.
[04:49] Yuuri
    I'm the master of this mansion, after all.
[04:53] Yuuri
    I have to learn to do everything myself
    and quickly become a grown-up.
[04:59] Yuuri
    Okay.
[04:59] Yuuri
    First, I have to make breakfast.
[05:18] Yuuri
    Next, laundry.
[05:27] (Flashback) Yuuri
    That was a piece of cake.
[05:33] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Whoa!
[05:40] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Next, vacuuming.
[05:43] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Whoa, it's so powerful!
[05:46] (Flashback) Yuuri
    It sucks in everything!
[05:53] (Flashback) Yuuri
    No, wait!
[06:05] Yuuri
    So tired.
[06:07] Yuuri
    I never knew life would be
    so hard without any servants.
[06:16] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Even I can pour hot water
    and wait for a bit.
[06:49] Yuuri
    Who is she?
[06:51] Yuuri
    I don't think we had a maid like her.
[06:55] Yuuri
    Something's suspicious.
[06:58] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Wh-Who are you?!
[07:00] (Flashback) Lilith
    I apologize for coming so late at night.
[07:04] (Flashback) Lilith
    From what I can see, it would seem
    that you don't have any servants.
[07:08] (Flashback) Lilith
    Are you here by yourself?
[07:10] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I am.
[07:12] (Flashback) Yuuri
    What's your business at my mansion?
[07:16] (Flashback) Lilith
    Forgive me for approaching
    you unsolicited...
[07:19] (Flashback) Lilith
    But would you be so kind as
    to hire me at this mansion?
[07:25] Yuuri
    What is she talking about?
[07:27] Yuuri
    So late at night...
[07:30] Yuuri
    This is even more suspicious.
[07:33] (Flashback) Yuuri
    No...
[07:34] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I'm not wealthy.
[07:35] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I just dismissed my servants earlier.
[07:38] (Flashback) Lilith
    No, I don't need to be paid.
[07:41] (Flashback) Lilith
    I only ask to be allowed to
    serve as a live-in maid.
[07:48] (Flashback) Lilith
    Do you not find it inconvenient
    living by yourself?
[07:52] (Flashback) Yuuri
    N-Not especially.
[07:55] (Flashback) Lilith
    If you would allow me,
[07:57] (Flashback) Lilith
    I will do the cleaning, laundry, and cooking
    to your satisfaction, young master.
[08:04] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I-I don't need any of tha—
[08:14] Yuuri
    Her eyes are pretty.
[08:17] Yuuri
    What is this? I...
[08:20] Yuuri
    I feel as though I've seen
    these eyes somewhere before.
[08:26] (Flashback) Lilith
    What do you say?
[08:32] (Flashback) Yuuri
    F-Fine.
[08:34] (Flashback) Yuuri
    I'm the master of this house, though.
[08:37] (Flashback) Yuuri
    If it turns out you're useless,
    I'm throwing you out.
[08:40] (Flashback) Yuuri
    Got it?
[08:41] (Flashback) Lilith
    Yes.
[08:43] (Flashback) Lilith
    Thank you, young master.
[08:49] Yuuri
    I probably should have said no.
[08:53] Yuuri
    But unlike any of the maids I had before,
[08:57] Yuuri
    every meal she makes is delicious.
[09:00] Yuuri
    When she cleans, the place
    looks more sparkly than ever.
[09:04] Yuuri
    And...
[09:07] Yuuri
    When she washes my clothes,
    they smell so nice.
[09:12] Yuuri
    I feel like I'm under a spell.
[09:17] Yuuri
    A spell?
[09:18] Yuuri
    That's it!
[09:20] Yuuri
    You're a sorcerer, aren't you?!
[09:24] Lilith
    A sorcerer?
[09:25] Yuuri
    The impossibly delicious food,
    the spotless rooms,
[09:29] Yuuri
    the comfortable clothes, and...
[09:31] Yuuri
    those suspicious eyes!
[09:33] Yuuri
    You aren't a normal human, are you?
[09:37] Lilith
    You've figured me out, huh?
[09:41] Lilith
    That's right.
[09:42] Lilith
    I'm a sorcerer.
[09:46] Lilith
    The truth is, I used these eyes
    to cast a bewitching spell on you.
[09:53] Lilith
    You fell for it completely, young master.
[09:58] Lilith
    Nah, just ki—
[09:59] Yuuri
    So I was right!
[10:02] Yuuri
    I knew it all along!
[10:04] Yuuri
    I caught you reading a magic book
    in the study and chanting spells!
[10:09] Yuuri
    And everything you clean has a glow.
[10:12] Yuuri
    Everything you wash has a pleasant scent.
[10:15] Yuuri
    And those eyes... They sparkle
    like gems and suck you right in...
[10:22] Yuuri
    Those eyes, which lock my gaze
    and send my heart racing...
[10:25] Yuuri
    were meant to bewitch me!
[10:28] Yuuri
    What terrifying magic!
[10:35] Lilith
    Y-Young master, I must go shopping now.
[10:40] Yuuri
    Wait!
[10:46] Lilith
    I only meant that as a joke.
[10:50] Lilith
    And that book in the study
    was about housekeeping.

    The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious.
[11:03] Yuuri
    I was so shocked earlier,
[11:05] Yuuri
    I lost my chance to confront her
    about what she was scheming.
[11:09] Yuuri
    But if she really is a sorcerer,
    what is her goal here?
[11:14] Yuuri
    Why did she come to such a poor mansion?
[11:20] Lilith
    Young master, have you
    finished your homework?
[11:24] Yuuri
    No point in thinking about it forever.
[11:26] Yuuri
    I'm the master of this mansion.
[11:29] Yuuri
    I'll ask her what it is she's after.
[11:32] Lilith
    Oh, it's noon. I'll prepare lunch right awa—
[11:35] Yuuri
    What are you plotting?
[11:37] Lilith
    What?
[11:38] Lilith
    Oh, well...
[11:40] Lilith
    We had cold eggplant udon yesterday,
    so how about oyakodon today?
[11:48] Yuuri
    Really?
[11:49] Yuuri
    Yay!
[11:50] Yuuri
    Wait, no!
[11:51] Yuuri
    I'm not talking about lunch.
[11:54] Yuuri
    I'm asking why you came to this mansion!
[11:57] Lilith
    Uh-huh...
[11:59] Yuuri
    All right...
[12:00] Yuuri
    I'm going to expose you for who you are!
[12:04] Yuuri
    Why are you grinning?
[12:06] Yuuri
    You are scheming something, aren't you?
[12:10] Lilith
    No, of course not.
[12:12] Lilith
    It's just that you're so
    adorable when you watch me.
[12:17] Lilith
    I simply couldn't contain my smile.
[12:20] Yuuri
    Lies!
[12:22] Yuuri
    I don't smile like that even
    if I think you're cute!
[12:26] Yuuri
    No matter how cute you are,
    you aren't fooling me!
[12:30] Yuuri
    When I look at you, my chest tenses
    up and I can't focus on anything.
[12:36] Yuuri
    And it's not just your smile.
    Your expressions make me so tense,
[12:39] Yuuri
    I can't stand to look at your face.
[12:41] Yuuri
    You aren't fooling me!
[12:43] Yuuri
    Why have you come to be my maid?
[12:45] Yuuri
    Tell me what you're after!
[12:51] Lilith
    Wh-What I'm after?
[12:54] Lilith
    Well...
[12:58] Lilith
    I can't tell you yet.
[13:04] Yuuri
    I knew it! She is scheming
    something, isn't she?!
[13:18] Yuuri
    What's the matter, young master?
[13:24] Yuuri
    There's plenty more, if you'd like.
[13:35] Yuuri
    Oh, it was just a dream.
[13:39] Yuuri
    She's been on my mind so
    much since she arrived
[13:41] Yuuri
    that she's showing up in
    my dreams every night.
[13:46] Yuuri
    I'm thirsty.
[13:51] Yuuri
    So hot...
[13:53] Yuuri
    Why is it so hot every night?
[13:59] Yuuri
    This late at night?
[14:01] Yuuri
    Is it a burglar?!
[14:04] Yuuri
    What do I do?
[14:05] Yuuri
    Should I wake her?
[14:07] Yuuri
    No, they might run away in the meantime.
[14:11] Yuuri
    Sheesh, what am I afraid of?
[14:14] Yuuri
    I'm the master of this mansion.
[14:16] Yuuri
    I have to be the one to protect it.
[14:23] Yuuri
    Oh, it's just her.
[14:26] Yuuri
    Wait, what is she doing at this time of night?
[14:30] Yuuri
    S-Suspicious...
[14:42] Lilith
    Good morning, young master.
[14:46] Yuuri
    Morning.
[14:48] Yuuri
    Thanks for cooking breakfast.
[14:53] Yuuri
    That's good.
[14:58] Yuuri
    This is good, too.
[15:00] Lilith
    There's plenty more. Please let
    me know if you'd like seconds.
[15:09] Yuuri
    Hey, you!
[15:11] Yuuri
    You put something suspicious
    in my food, didn't you?
[15:15] Yuuri
    I saw you doing something in the
    kitchen in the middle of the night.
[15:20] Yuuri
    What exactly were you doing?
[15:23] Lilith
    Ah, you caught me.
[15:26] Lilith
    I did put something in that dish...
[15:30] Lilith
    A potion to make you fall in love with me.
[15:33] Lilith
    It's what they call a "love potion."
[15:36] Yuuri
    L-Love...
[15:38] Lilith
    I'm impressed that you caught on.
[15:41] Yuuri
    Wh-What?!
[15:44] Yuuri
    How could she put a love
    potion in her master's food?
[15:47] Yuuri
    She's definitely not just a maid.
[15:49] Yuuri
    I get it!
[15:51] Yuuri
    So that was a love potion you
    were up making last night!
[15:55] Yuuri
    Damn, no wonder your food
    tasted so good to me.
[16:01] Yuuri
    And it explains why I can't stop staring at you,
[16:03] Yuuri
    and why my heart races when our eyes meet,
[16:06] Yuuri
    and why I can't help but
    think you're really cute...
[16:08] Yuuri
    It's all due to that love potion!
[16:15] Lilith
    Y-Yes.
[16:18] Lilith
    I'm too embarrassed to tell him I
    was actually just studying cooking
[16:25] Lilith
    so that I could make good meals for him.
[16:28] Yuuri
    No more love potions. Got it?
[16:30] Lilith
    U-Understood.

    The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious.
[16:40] Yuuri
    I feel like she's always
    dodging the subject.
[16:45] Yuuri
    That stuff about being a sorcerer,
    about love potions...
[16:48] Yuuri
    What exactly is she thinking?
[16:58] Yuuri
    Come to think of it,
    I don't know much about her.
[17:03] Yuuri
    She knows what I like and hate to eat,
[17:08] Yuuri
    but I don't know anything about
    what she likes or hates.
[17:13] Yuuri
    I don't even know her name.
[17:18] Yuuri
    Hey, you.
[17:20] Lilith
    Yes?
[17:21] Lilith
    May I help you, Master Yuuri?
[17:25] Yuuri
    Why is she calling me by my name now?!
[17:28] Yuuri
    She hasn't done that before!
[17:31] Yuuri
    S-Suspicious!
[17:33] Yuuri
    Why are you calling me by name now?!
    What are you scheming?
[17:37] Lilith
    Scheming, you say?
[17:40] Lilith
    I believe it's normal for a maid
    to address her master by name.
[17:46] Lilith
    I never expected you to
    react that way, though.
[17:51] Lilith
    Could it be...
[17:53] Lilith
    that you're embarrassed?
[17:55] Yuuri
    You make it sound like we're married!
[17:58] Yuuri
    My parents called each other by name.
[18:01] Yuuri
    They were madly in love!
[18:02] Lilith
    M-Madly in love?!
[18:04] Lilith
    I-I didn't mean it that intensely.
[18:08] Yuuri
    Not that intensely?
[18:09] Lilith
    U-Um...
[18:11] Lilith
    I must go shopping.
[18:12] Lilith
    Pardon me!
[18:14] Yuuri
    Hey!
[18:16] Yuuri
    She ran away again.
[18:18] Yuuri
    Suspicious.
[18:20] Yuuri
    She was so rattled.
[18:22] Yuuri
    She's definitely hiding something.
[18:25] Yuuri
    Is she telling me that she has
    all my private information?
[18:30] Yuuri
    Crap, what is she doing with
    my private information?
[18:33] Yuuri
    Is she going to doxx me?
[18:36] Yuuri
    Or is she going to sell it to
    some underground organization?
[18:40] Yuuri
    I'm her master, and I don't
    know anything about her.
[18:45] Yuuri
    I'll look her up.
[18:47] Yuuri
    And I'll prove that I know more
    about her than she does about me.
[18:52] Yuuri
    Hmm, it should be around here somewhere...
[18:55] Yuuri
    Found it.
[19:00] Yuuri
    Lilith...
[19:02] Yuuri
    So her name's Lilith!
[19:06] Yuuri
    Her name is already suspicious,
    but at last, I know something about her.
[19:14] Yuuri
    Okay, go on.
[19:15] Yuuri
    Try saying my name.
[19:17] Yuuri
    I'll call you by name and
    show that I know about you.
[19:23] Lilith
    Dinner tonight will be cold tomato pasta
    and summer vegetable soup, young master.
[19:32] Yuuri
    Aren't you going to use my name?
[19:35] Lilith
    Would you like me to say your name more often?
[19:40] Yuuri
    Y-Yeah...
[19:42] Lilith
    But if I did...
[19:44] Lilith
    we would end up becoming
    close, young master.
[19:49] Yuuri
    Merely saying one's name
    wouldn't make you closer.
[19:53] Yuuri
    My parents were madly in love,
[19:56] Yuuri
    but that was because they
    understood each other well.
[20:00] Yuuri
    I, however, don't know
    the first thing about you.
[20:06] Lilith
    Yes, you're right.
[20:09] Yuuri
    Obviously.
[20:11] Yuuri
    So you can tell your master
    more about yourself, Lilith.
[20:22] Lilith
    Okay.
[20:24] Yuuri
    It's not that I trust you yet.
[20:27] Yuuri
    I'm going to grow up as soon as I
    can and expose you for who you are.
[20:33] Lilith
    Understood, Master Yuuri.
[20:49] Yuuri
    Speaking of which, why did you suddenly
    decide to call me by my name?
[20:54] Lilith
    There wasn't any particular reason for it.
[20:58] Yuuri
    Oh.
[21:45] Lilith
    Master Yuuri...
