Chapter 72 - 71 - Maid Contract With Hitomi

Chapter 72: Chapter 71 - Maid Contract With HitomiSome of the photos Elliot had sent me made me realize the big problem Chizuru and Hitomi had created. Some of the damaged public facilities were their responsibility, but that would be a different story if they had made a Master-Maid contract with me. Even before that happened, I could see some pleading gazes from Hitomi. Beside her, I also see the pleading gaze from Chizuru while her body had been taken over by a Goddess from another world. I’m not sure whether to consider this situation important or urgent, by the significant amount of trouble they’ve caused. "Before we start the conversation that will determine your fate in the future, how do you feel after seeing this?" I said while showing my smartphone screen displaying several photos of the two of them who had damaged public facilities. Right on my smartphone screen, it showed Hitomi and Chizuru’s faces clearly captured by the camera. Even if both of them argued that it wasn’t them, several other photos clearly showed their faces running like crazy on the busy streets filled with cars. Glupppp... I could hear Chizuru and Hitomi’s distress at my question. Even with a question coming from a human, the Goddess who possessed Chizuru’s body was also pressured by my cold attitude when asking a question like this. "Don’t get me wrong first..." "I’m just checking what action you two will take after seeing this. Will you two take responsibility or run away from the problems you two have caused?" "That is it..." By giving a relaxed speech and sounding like I wasn’t blaming anyone, I tried to stay calm about this. Tap... Tap... By placing my smartphone on the screen that showed Chizuru and Hitomi’s photo, I could hear the whispers spoken by Elysia and Rina to make them both admit it. "H-Hey, it would be better if you two admitted your mistakes in front of Master Weiss," Elysia whispered to Chizuru who was under the control of the Goddess who possessed her body. "I-I know... that it was Chizuru’s action, not me! B-But there are certain reasons that I have to tell Master Weiss first," Chizuru replied in a whisper to Elysia. On the other hand, Rina gave a nod to Hitomi as if telling her to apologize sincerely to me. Before Chizuru could act, Hitomi took this opportunity to apologize directly to me. "Master Weiss, I know that this action is embarrassing for you who will soon become my Master. If you would like, I will take responsibility for the damage I have done along with a public apology," Hitomi said as she stood up and bowed towards me. "Although my savings are not that much, I have some inheritance from my parents that can be sold for a high price on Earth!" Hitomi continued to shout while bowing her body towards me. As she closed her eyes and waited for my next order, it made Hitomi look like she was apologizing after making a big mistake. While listening to the words coming out of Hitomi’s mouth, I also heard some sounds from the smartphone that was recording Hitomi’s actions. While in the smartphone camera footage, I had to act wisely to not draw attention to myself. Although it was a little late, I drew more attention than Hitomi after she bent down in front of me. "Parents’ inheritance?" I muttered softly until Rina heard it. "Master Weiss... You may not believe it, but Hitomi was the former Crown Princess of a large kingdom in my world that has now fallen after failing to hold back the monster attack," Rina whispered as softly as possible so as not to be recorded on the smartphone footage that was pointed at me. "Ah, is that so? If it’s an inheritance from your parents, then it would be a waste when sold, you know what inheritance means right?" I said, understanding Hitomi’s condition as a former fallen Crown Princess. With my eyes looking at her, I could see the clothes she was wearing looking cute with a black jacket that made her look like an angel of death ready to take someone’s life. Her scythe that was lying beside her body gave a scary impression of an Idol girl who was a former Crown Princess of a fallen kingdom. "For now, don’t sell your parents’ inheritance. If you sell it, then it is not an inheritance given to you by your parents," I continued to emphasize my decision on this matter. "B-But... if I don’t do that, then Master Weiss will be responsible for this!" Hitomi argued as her body stood up straight again. "Well, I’ll take responsibility if we’ve formed a Master-Maid contract. At this point, we’re just strangers. So don’t call me Master Weiss," I said to emphasize what was going on. "Ahh!!" As if knowing what was happening, Hitomi gave me a pleading look. "Um, would Master Weiss... Umm... I mean Weiss wants to form a Master-Maid contract with me?" Hitomi asked with a shy look in her eyes. Hearing those words, I could only remain silent and pay attention to my surroundings. I don’t know what made Chizuru and Hitomi run like crazy toward this restaurant after seeing some live broadcasts of me kissing Rina. "Hitomi, becoming my maid is an irreversible act. Are you sure about this request?" I said while giving her a serious look. "Yes, I am sure about this one request of mine. I am even ready to become Master Weiss’s Maid... Uuhh... after what Master Weiss did before. Even being his Maid is not enough," Hitomi grumbled, seeming like she wanted to say something. "Master Weiss has given Elysia a power that can kill that bastard, right?" Hitomi asked me. Huh? That bastard? Is it related to the CEO of their Idol Agency? "Yes, but it came at a heavy price. Isn’t that right, Elysia?" I said to Elysia who seemed busy whispering with Chizuru who was being controlled by the Goddess. "Eh? Ahh! Y-Yes?" Elysia, who didn’t hear my words, could only reply nervously. "Did you see that, Hitomi? The price Elysia paid for the power I gave her was to have her life under my control as her Master. Can you live under my control like this?" I asked Hitomi who seemed to be misunderstanding me. "Huh?" Elysia, who didn’t know what I was talking about, just gave me a confused look. When Elysia showed her obedience to my words, it made Hitomi see the price Elysia had to pay to gain her current power. Hitomi, who was standing straight, walked out from dining table and started kneeling in front of me. "If that is the price I have to pay for someone who saved me from a terrible fate, then I will gladly give you everything. My feelings... my loyalty... my body... even my soul... I will give to you, Master Weiss!" Hitomi shouted as she knelt before me. "..." I was just speechless after seeing this. Hitomi who looks serious and will give what she has after I save her from a terrible fate? What does this mean? Brrrrttt... Zrrrttt... My smartphone on the table received a message from Elliot and showed several live streamer accounts who were broadcasting live inside this restaurant. This put me under pressure to respond to the loyalty shown by Hitomi after expressing her great determination to become my Maid. "I’m giving you one last chance, are you sure about this?" I asked in a serious and firm tone. Piiipp!! Piiipp!! [ System Notification: Hitomi Ai has met the requirements to become your Novice Maid! ] [ System Notification: Would you like to make Hitomi Ai one of your Novice Maids? The remaining Maid slots are 2/5. ] As if understanding the current situation, my Maid Order ability was triggered by my words of wanting to make Hitomi Ai one of my Maids. "I’m completely serious about this, Master Weiss." "You are my only goal in life right now after finding out that there is someone who gave Elysia the power to be able to defeat that bastard who brought a bunch of magical artifacts in battle and was defeated by Elysia easily," said Hitomi who seemed to be telling a story in the past, where Elysia and Momoka worked together to attack a man whose identity was known as the CEO of their Idol Agency. Hitomi’s attitude and behavior, which would give everything, made me respond to her firm determination. "I understand," with this short answer, I pressed the "YES" button on the choice made by my Maid Order ability. I stood up from my seat and walked towards Hitomi who was kneeling not far from me. "Hitomi, are you sure about handing over your life to a weak Master like me?" I asked Hitomi. "Yes, I believe you are the right person for me to give my all to you, after you changed the terrible fate that was about to befall me, Master Weiss," Hitomi replied with her head lowered. Along with the answer I gave to my Maid Order ability, I could see a magic formation circle suddenly being carved on the floor where Hitomi was kneeling. "You will be bound by a Master-Maid contract with me for a very long time. Don’t expect me to die with the same lifespan as humans. Even if one day I achieve immortality, you will be stuck with me for eternity as my Maid," I said, teasing Hitomi about something that sounded scary like that. "I hope that will happen as a way to show my gratitude after embarking on a new destiny with you, Master Weiss," Hitomi replied with a smile on her face. [ System Notification: Hitomi Ai accepted your invitation to become one of your Maids! ] [ System Notification: Please kiss your Maid’s lips for the first time! ] When my Maid Order ability told me to kiss Hitomi’s lips, I was surprised by Hitomi’s actions as she slowly stood up and kissed my lips with an elegant movement like a Crown Princess. Chuuuppp... Along with the kiss given by Hitomi, I could feel the explosion of magical energy inside her body and overflowing. Blllaasshh!!! Baaammm!! The surge of magical energy that came from inside Hitomi’s body had caused her to form a Master-Maid contract with me. Hitomi’s body began to be wrapped by magical energy that now created a Maid uniform that fit her body size and looked graceful and elegant. Even the shape of her scythe weapon was decorated with beautiful ornaments. "HAAAHH?!! YOU’RE SO CHEATING, HITOMI!!" That made the Goddess who possessed Chizuru’s body scream while looking at Hitomi.
