The lap pillow request, but furthermore the "Okay, done!" line delivered so enthusiastically such that it surprised her caused an involuntary bark of laughter from me.

I thought that the demon lord's specific focus was in macroeconomics, but she appears to be skilled at education as a whole, with a passion for economics, the same way the chief maid is skilled at a number of things (such as leading armies!!), but focuses her passions on etiquette and the maid profession.

Of course I liked the fact that the maid made a point from the start that a serf will always be a serf, unless they want to better themselves and rebel against the fate laid out before them.
With apologies to Bioshock, "A lady choses, a serf obeys."
Amusing that Tomatsu Haruka plays that role twice in currently airing series (Older Sister Maid and Morgiana from Magi). I also appreciate that the demon lord opted to give her a crash course in literacy before throwing her into her main instruction group. Is she grooming a suitable successor/backup to the chief maid?


What I think stood out for me the most was the scene in the forest with the little sister maid and the hero, with him lamenting on how useless he felt compared to the demon lord. For all his talents of magic (the latter teleport was all him, was it not?), sword fighting, and personal physical aptitude, he already realized that his particular focus and passion is purely martial, and good for killing, not saving anything. He did not dwell on it.

I look forward to seeing how he intends to become a match in the realm of peace for his 'contracted partner for eternity'.
