Chapter 203 50 - A Troublesome Guest... Ellen Fujimoto
"So, is this woman have a close relationship with you?" Momoka asked after reading the contents of the mysterious letter from this troublesome family.
"I can't say... we were close in junior high. What I know is... I was quite close to her father and once accompanied him on a fishing trip on his private yacht."
"If you really don't cause any trouble with this family. She should be able to invite you to dinner in a normal way, right?"
"If only she knew how to invite someone to dinner in a polite and friendly manner, she would not have done such a horrible thing like this."
"If you say like that, can I assume that this family has an unfriendly attitude..."
"Y-Yeah..."
Diinngg...
Donngg...
While Momoka and I were making subtle fun of this troubled family, we heard the sound of the bell coming from the front door of our apartment.
"Without opening the door, I could guess it was them," Momoka said while glancing at me.
"It's definitely them. Since they went to the trouble of cleaning our apartment and planting wiretaps devices, would you like to try hosting them as a maid?"
"I don't want to hosting a troublesome guest like that. I'm sure this guest only wants to meet with you, Weiss."
"Haaahh... I hate it, if that's really happens."
With a little annoyance, I immediately walked towards the entrance of the apartment where I live with Elysia.
For security reasons, Elysia has drawn a sword imbued with wind magic as her primary weapon. Hiding the sword to her waist, Elysia attempted to act like a polite and professional maid while also concealing her sword to avoid drawing too much attention.
Before my eyes, I saw the apartment entrance, which could only be opened from the inside via a special doorknob mechanism. It shouldn't have been able to simply enter without breaking the mechanism, but she already did it anyway.
"Just come in, I'll wait in the living room," I said, permitting this troublesome guest to enter my Apartment.
She already broken into my apartment, so why I have to open the main door to greet her?
What kind of joke is that?
If she had been able to break in, I wouldn't have needed to open the entrance door to my apartment.
It seems, I'll have to consider about finding a new residence with twenty-four-hour security, and the only place I know of is the Dungeon, where Princess Amagi resides.
Living in a Japanese castle isn't so bad when I think about it.
I immediately positioned myself in the living room to entertain this troublesome guest.
Crack...
Clang...
From inside the living room, which is not far from the entrance to the apartment where I live, the sound of the house door's locking mechanism being broken was heard.
I immediately gave a small signal to Elysia to get ready to welcome the arrival of this troublesome guest.
"Elysia, whatever happens, you have to stay calm," I said, giving Elysia direction not to take extreme action.
With a sword attached to her waist, I could feel that something bad, like a fight, which could happen at any moment.
Duugg...
Duugg...
The sound of heavy footsteps was heard, without taking off her shoes and just calmly entering my apartment, this guest was truly "polite" as a member of the mafia.
Even the mafia in the British Empire can still act elegantly and with dignity.
Meanwhile, these troublesome guests actually look like the mafia, who still don't know ethics, manners, politeness, and etiquette.
Duugg...
Duugg...
Their footsteps grew heavier, just as Hitomi appeared, carrying an iron tray filled with snacks. Chizuru also appeared, carrying an iron tray filled with several steaming cups of tea. Rina also entered the living room empty-handed and suddenly cast a cold spell, making the room feel cool.
Srrusshh...
With the presence of four Elf maids in the living room, it was like I was showing off the four main maids who were loyal and obedient to me.
After all my Elf maids were in the living room, I saw the figure of an old friend who was still staring at me with a cold gaze.
"As far as I can remember, you were nerdy and reluctant to do something as troublesome as attracting attention on social media."
In our first meeting after graduating from junior high school, I received a harsh criticism and sarcasm from her.
The sarcasm and criticism that came out of her mouth really described my current situation.
There is no reason to mad about that criticism and sarcasm, because it does really happen.
"If only I could avoid it, I would definitely not be in the news and become the main topic on social media," I replied while making a hand gesture allowing her to sit on the living room sofa.
The figure before me is Ellen Fujimoto, a daughter of an underground mafia family. She comes from the Fujimoto family, renowned for its global business empire. The entire Fujimoto family is known for possessing formidable business for seven generations, though that's only a legacy from their ancestors.
"Want me to help you remove all your name from social media, Weiss?"
"Well, there's no need to do such a troublesome thing like that for myself. It would be a wasting time to do, as long as I go to a special high school filled with people from other worlds. A news about me... will always happens."
"It's your own fault for entering a school filled with such monsters... inside."
"It can't be helped, I need to do that so I can accompany my little sister in that school."
"Since when you have a little sister?"
"Since my father remarried."
"..." the figure in front of me sat on the sofa and looked at me with a cynical look in her eyes.
The answer I gave earlier seemed to have triggered an emotion inside her feelings.
"I wanted to be angry after hearing that answer, but it did make sense in my head. Why you always like this, Weiss? Always teasing me with obvious words..."
Besides her, I also saw women wearing men's suits standing beside her.
"You've changed your personal bodyguard?"
"Yes, the old one... Already carried out their duties well until the end of their lives."
"That's quite a dark answer to hear."
"Because that's what happened, Weiss. You know that my family has a lot of enemies behind the scenes."
"Try to reduce your enemies by doing normal business and not monopolizing other people's business."
"If I do that, it's less challenging."
"Yes, that's true, but if it grows steadily. It could be an emergency card if someone in your family business... does something suspicious."
"They always do something suspicious every day, it's not the first time."
"Haha... I'll probably only survive one day if I become part of your family," I said, giving her a dark joke.
"Hmm... want to be part of my family, Weiss?" Ellen smiled at me and played with her long hair, then showing off the fake engagement ring on her ring finger.
"I can give you this pair of fake engagement rings, you know..." Ellen continued while grinning at me.
I knew, if I continuing this joke would incite the anger of the four Elf maids who were standing on my right and left.
Well, how do I know that this kind of joke will anger my four Elf maids?
That's because I could hear Elysia's voice clicking and the temperature in the living room getting colder until my breath was emitting cold steam.
"No need, my sexual needs already been fulfilled by my beautiful maids," I replied, giving an answer that was able to calm my maids' jealousy.
The terrible joke must have seemed amusing from Ellen's perspective, but it felt terrifying from my perspective as a Master who was on the receiving stab of my maids' jealousy.
For a moment, I was still able to escape the wrath of my maids, who didn't know that it was just a joke.
"Your living room feels as cold as the North Pole. Can you turn it down?" said Ellen, who didn't realize that the air conditioner in the living room wasn't on.
I immediately glanced at Rina to control her cold air magic so that it wouldn't be too cold for Ellen.
"Yeah, sorry about that," I replied as I pretended to reach for my old smartphone and turn down the temperature in the room.
The cold room temperature made the hot tea Chizuru prepared warm and not hot anymore.
"By the way, how many wiretaps did you plant in my apartment?" I asked, changing the subject to something else.
"I don't know, ask my bodyguards, who planted the wiretaps device in your apartment," Ellen replied while glancing at her new personal bodyguard.
"If possible, please remove all the wiretapping devices you have installed in my apartment. I don't want my new father and mother's intimate relationship to be leaked and spread widely on porn sites."
"You know that I don't really like blackmail methods like that."
"But you always use blackmail methods like that. Disliking the method of blackmailing porn videos and not using the method of blackmailing porn videos, are two different things."
"Your sharp instincts are not broken. I like this critical thinking of yours."
"I'm just being careful when dealing with your family."
"Weiss... My family isn't that cruel and evil. You can relax a bit, like when you accompany my father fishing."
"That's hard to do... when the person I'm talking to is you, Ellen."
"Fufu~ glad to hear that, Thanks!"
Ellen just smiled and thought it was a compliment to her.
"That's not a compliment."
"I know..."
This simple conversation has given me a headache.
Without knowing the purpose of Ellen's visit, I could only guess her purpose in coming to the apartment where I live.
If it had anything to do with any of her dirty business, I would have immediately rejected her and forced my parents to move out.
But if it's related to something else, I'll hear it first.
"So, how can I help you with this... new problem of yours?" I asked without further ado, looking at Ellen seriously.
"Go straight to the point of the problem I'm facing, huh?"
"Well, I feel like the problem you're facing isn't that important. You just need my help to do something you can't do... as usual, right?"
"I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but that's what happened."
Ellen took out her smartphone and showed a photo of a luxury auction that was going to happen in two days.
"Isn't this—"
"Yes, the auctions you often attended in the past to find items my mother needed. Since my family is always busy, we always ask you to represent us at these auctions."
"What do you want to buy this time?" I asked after learning Ellen's main purpose for coming to see me in such a unique way.
"A high-grade Elixir potion that can cure cancer, curses, and restore youth."
"That would be difficult... because high-grade Elixirs are always have a big bid... especially without knowing if it's a real or fake high-grade Elixir. Its still expensive..."
"That's why I need your help to check its authenticity," Ellen replied while glancing at one of her personal bodyguards who was carrying a black suitcase.
I guess...
This job will require precision to see a fake Elixir potion...
Before that happened, I was already tired of this fucking troublesome things...
