Chapter 80 Who Are You The Darkened Obsession of the Maid and the Heir’s Capture
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(Shin and Lala’s Secret Room, now—Layla and Shin-sama’s Admonishment Chamber ¹ )
”…I love my punishment, I do!” one of them moaned.
”…And why, pray tell, must we be chained up, ² desuwa?”
Schuna-chan and Yuna-chan, the sister duo who have been stalking me all the way from the Lax Empire, are currently locked in a cage. They’re wearing patchwork, miniskirt prison uniforms.
That girl—the one who told them they were free to leave anytime—must have been talking about them not moving because I live here. They’ve been cosplaying in those prisoner outfits ever since we got back from the Lax Empire. Is it a hobby for them? It’s a very risqué get-up, but it certainly suits them, I guess.
Are these two women… perverts, I wonder? …Nope. No need to wonder. They are undeniably perverts. Sorry I even doubted you for a second there, Schuna-chan, Yuna-chan.
“Chirp… Chirp…”
Right next to them, disguised as a cute, small white dragon, is the dragon girl who absolutely refuses to be recognized: Yulize-chan. She’s pretending to be a harmless little beast, sleeping soundly in a fluffy bed. Seriously! ³ Her master is right here, wearing a Misa Misa ⁴ cosplay and tied up, yet she’s taking it easy! Yulize-chan, when I finally get released, I’m going to sentence you to the Titty Jiggle Punishment, you hear?
See, the girls who live in my shadow and inside my body tried to come to my rescue when I got caught. But for some reason, they were no match for the Darkened Layla-chan at all, and they got captured way too easily. When did Layla-chan get so strong? I’m genuinely a little shocked.
And as for me…
”My tummy area feels so breezy because I’m not wearing any underwear, awww! And I’m wearing a white shirt-dress even though I’m a boy, ugh!” I lamented.
”It suits you, desuwa. Shin-sama, I want to administer your punishment while you’re dressed like that, desuwa,” Layla purred.
”That’s right… in that outfit, you must hurry up and torment me,” the other demanded.
…These perverse sisters can escape anytime they want, so what in the world are they even talking about?
”After I got captured, Lala-chan and Red-kun, who were just getting back from the restroom, managed to escape from Darkened Layla-chan… I wonder what they’re doing and where they are right now?”
* * *
(Well, then, Shin-sama. Let us return to our Alys Magic Academy. Since we can admonish Shin-sama there, please get into this carriage.)
The grinning Layla-chan had dragged in… not a carriage, but a cage. It was a solid, reinforced cage from any angle I looked at it.
(L-Layla-chan, this isn’t a carriage, right? This is clearly a cage to lock me up!)
(Oh? What’s the matter, Shin-sama? This is clearly a sturdy carriage from every angle, desuwa.)
Oh, my God… What in the world is going on? Layla-chan, who used to be such a sweet, quiet child with just a few screws loose when she was little, has grown up weird.
Did she go rogue because she barely got any screentime ⁵ until now? Did she pick up some bad influences after moving to the city?
(Layla-chan, let’s calm down for a second. You’re my exclusive maid, and you’re the top candidate to be Alexia’s Blessing of Lifelong Devotion. It’s not right to act out like this right in front of Alexia. It’s absolutely not right!)
(I don’t want to hear that from Shin-sama, who sexually harasses little girls and hits on women everywhere he goes! Desuwa!)
CLANG!
(Ugh! The collar and chains are tightening around me! Guh!)
I could easily break free of this collar and chain if I wanted to, but that wouldn’t calm down the angry Layla-chan’s feelings. I guess I’ll have to endure some punishment until her anger is satisfied.
(Hehehe. I like an obedient Shin-sama. I’ll make sure to give you plenty of admonishment once we get back to the Magic Academy, desuwa.)
Is it just my imagination, or is the light ⁶ in Layla-chan’s eyes completely gone, making them look all muddy and dull?
(Shin-sama! I’m finally back, desuwa! I bought lots and lots of souvenirs for Hollow-sama and everyone in the Religion of Shin ⁷, desuwa!)
“Chirp, chirp! Lala!” Red squeaked in response.
(Oh? That voice… It’s Lala-san and Red-chan, whom Shin-sama personally rescued in the Lax Empire this time. That person claims to be Shin-sama’s mistress… I must capture her and administer a punishment.)
Wait, that’s Lala-chan and Red-kun… This is bad. They’re going to fall into Darkened Layla-chan’s poisonous fangs.
(Lala-chan! Don’t come here! Something’s wrong with Layla-chan, so please run away and don’t worry about me!)
(Shin-sama! Where are you? …Huh?! Shin-sama! Why are you in a cage with a collar around your neck, desuwoo?)
“Chirp-AAAH?!” Red shrieked.
(It’s a long story… but never mind that! Now’s not the time to worry about it. Escape, Lala-chan! Before Layla-chan attacks you and catches you!)
(Huh? Layla-sama? Why would the sweet and lovely Layla-sama attack me, desuwa?)
(Hehehe… Lala-san. You are another one who receives Shin-sama’s favor. Well, then, I shall be taking you now. Prepare yourself, desuwa.)
(Oh no, you won’t! Sacred Artifact (general term for powerful items)・’Maid Order-Made’ Forced Release!)
In a flash, I immediately deactivated the effect of the Sacred Artifact・’Maid Order-Made’—the very maid uniform Layla-chan was wearing—and made her stark naked.
(Eek!! Layla-sama was about to attack us, and she suddenly became butt naked, desuwa!)
(Huh? …I’m butt naked? …Butt naked means naked, right? …I’m naked? ……KYAAAHHH! blushing)
Perhaps embarrassed by her sudden nudity, Layla-chan crumpled to the ground, halting her attack on Lala-chan.
(Red-kun! Now’s your chance! Take Lala-chan and fly away!)
“Chirp! Chirp-Lala!” Red cried back.
(Huh? ‘Fly away!’ you say? No! I don’t want to leave Shin-sama behind! Shin-sama! Stop! My Shin-sama, desuwa!)
Red-kun picked up Lala-chan in his mouth, soaring into the air and flying off.
And so, the four of us were left behind: me, with a collar on; the unconscious Alexia; Karentisia-chan, who had also fainted at some point; and Layla-chan, who was staring at me while flushed deep red.
(……While I was away for a bit, Shin-sama acquired even more new girls, desuwa. I never would have thought you’d let them live with you, desuwa.)
(Let them live with me? There are no such girls anywhere, Layla-chan.)
Layla-chan grabbed a nearby hood, covered her body with it, and approached me with an enchanting smile. I felt a cold sweat run down my back, and I glanced at my shadow for just a split second.
(…I have many things I need to ask you about, desuwa. My precious Master (Shin) seems to have so many secrets, desuwa.)
* * *
And so, I was secretly brought back to the Alys Magic Academy by Layla-chan.
Screeech… CLACK!
”Shin-sama! It’s time for your meal, desuwa!”
Layla-chan, now wearing a strange maid uniform I definitely didn’t prepare, appeared with a very cheerful smile.
”Hello, Layla-chan… Who are you, really, right now?” I asked, my voice flat.
”Oh? I am myself, desuwa? I am Shin-sama’s exclusive maid, desuwa.”
”Oh, is that so… That’s a surprise,” I drawled.
”L-Layla-chan! S-Shin-kun is very, very sorry, I think. So, please, can you let him go soon? Otherwise, I can’t give Shin-kun a big hug!” Alexia cried from her locked cell.
”T-That’s right. Our loyal dog (Shin) is also very sorry. Release him from here right now, so he can be with us, Layla,” Karentisia-chan demanded, both girls now wearing decent-looking prisoner uniforms.
”…Where did you hide the real Layla-chan?” I finally pressed, ignoring the two weirdos.
”Hehehe. I am the real Layla, Shin-sama… The genuine maid who serves Chris-sama, desuwa.”

Summary:
The chaotic aftermath of Shin’s capture unfolds in Layla’s newly dubbed ‘Admonishment Chamber,’ where his devoted stalkers, Schuna and Yuna, revel in their caged, perverse punishment cosplay alongside the oblivious dragon girl, Yulize. The unsettlingly Darkened Layla transports Shin—now forced into a white dress and chains—in a cage to the Alys Magic Academy, revealing her toxic obsession. A brief, explosive confrontation erupts with the arrival of Lala and her pet dragon, Red, which Shin uses to save them by suddenly stripping Layla with a Sacred Artifact, forcing her into an embarrassed retreat. The chapter ends with the question of Layla’s true identity and her suspicious allegiance to ‘Chris-sama,’ as Shin is locked in a dungeon cell with the captured heroines, Alexia and Karentisia, awaiting his punishment.

Character Insight:
Shin maintains a cynical but amused resignation throughout his imprisonment, utilizing his knowledge of the world’s mechanics (Sacred Artifacts) to save his lovers even while captured. Layla’s transition from a quiet maid to an obsessive, darkened villainess is cemented here, introducing a major twist about her true loyalties and her sinister, possessive love for the villainous heir. The sister stalkers’ (Schuna and Yuna) perverse joy in their role highlights the chaotic, parody nature of the harem.
—
Behind the Scene:
The setting moves from Shin’s secret room to the Alys Magic Academy’s dungeon. The core conflict is the direct clash between Shin’s established harem and the newly darkened Layla, who is revealed to be a maid serving a mysterious ‘Chris-sama,’ suggesting she might not be the original Layla or is under a powerful influence. The narrative uses the capture and punishment tropes to escalate the dark comedy and introduce a fresh conflict for the protagonist, Shin. The Sacred Artifact Maid Order-Made is revealed to be the source of Layla’s maid outfit, which Shin can remotely deactivate.

T/L:
1 [“Admonishment Chamber” is an extremely formal/polite Japanese term for a place of punishment, used here ironically to denote Layla’s perversion.] ↩
2 [The formal Japanese pronoun for ‘I/we’ (watakushi) emphasizes the formality and dignity Schuna is trying to maintain, even while role-playing a prisoner.] ↩
3 [The Japanese term ‘mattaku’ is an interjection expressing exasperation or frustration.] ↩
4 [Misa Misa is a character from the manga/anime Death Note, often associated with gothic or provocative outfits. Shin compares his outfit to her style.] ↩
5 [A self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking observation common in this genre, suggesting Layla’s ‘villain turn’ is a response to her lack of earlier plot relevance.] ↩
6 [The ‘light’ (high right/hi-light) in the eyes being gone is a common visual shorthand in manga/anime for a character who has ‘darkened,’ lost their spirit, or become obsessed.] ↩
7 [The ‘Religion of Shin’ (Shin-kyou) is the cult that has developed around Shin’s accidental heroics and charisma.] ↩
Notes:
• Lala – Delusional saint candidate from the Lax Empire who becomes fanatically devoted to Shin, founding a religion in his name and often speaking with the quirky suffix ‘~desuwa’
• Alt – A Dragonkin member of the Twelve Apostles who was researching Dragonkin-related Divine Artifacts. He becomes Shin’s primary source of information and suggests consulting his mentor, Lin, for a potential cure.
• Lin – Alt’s mentor, described as the ‘Great Hero who sealed the ancient dragon, Albion, who resides in the Dragon Country.’ He is suggested as someone who might possess knowledge of a cure for the dragon race’s strange disease.
• Uru – The wolf.
• Yuna – female of high religious/political standing, specifically holding the title of High Priestess and being one of the Eight Sacred Lords of the Lax Church. Her outer appearance is suggested by the fact that her opponent, Yuriyuri, was wearing her stolen nun’s habit after the confrontation. Her role as an intruder in the Seyfried Territory led to her defeat and capture by her adversary, Yuriyuri.
• Right – An upperclassman frustrated with ten-year-old Alexia’s presidency who initially supported Lilith (‘Lili-tan’) for the role. He represents the ‘cute girl fetish’ faction, rips up the magic paper in anger, and engages in heated debates with Left about the academy’s bizarre political landscape and student obsessions.
