"Master, I'm sorry, I broke the cup..."
"You stupid woman, I won't pay for injuries you get at work. The cost of the cup and bandages will come out of your wages!"
"You've done well this past month, but you haven't had a day off all month. Take tomorrow off and get some proper rest."
"Thank you, Master. Is it a day off?"
"It's an absence without leave. Come back the day after tomorrow and get your absence slip approved."
And so, one year later.
As the oppressed masses stood with the enemy at their gates, Lude thought back to the clumsy maid and all the things he had done...
"You're rebelling? You're all fired!"
Those were the last words Lude left behind before the ogres pounded him into minced meat with their clubs and ate him.
Then he was reborn, sent back in time to the day the Demon King summoned him.
This time, he would never repeat his mistakes! This time, he would reclaim the conscience a human being ought to have!
...Really?
