"So...then" Aimi spoke, with a voice that was about to command Ryou's.
*Next day*
"Wakey Wakey master~" Aimi spoke, with a cheerful, and a full voice. It's as if nothing happened last night.
"I'm awake." I spoke with eyes full of tears, eye bags under my eyes. And I sounded as I was filled with horrors of what she had done last night.
"Fufufu...I'm glad. Master, last night, was wonderful~" Aimi spoke cheerfully.
"Of course, killing people." I spoke with a sarcastic voice, with a serious note.
"Mhm, no! I was talking about my first~" She blushed.
"..kiss.."
Aimi hid her face under a pillow as she blushed. It seemed as if she was a newly wed bride who was submissively describing her husband of what happened last night. But in reality, it was the other way around.
That night, me and Aimi had kissed. That's it. That was her demand.
"...that's right." I put my hands over my forehead, thinking of what the hell has happened. I knew Aimi is a psychopath who must be arrested.
I remembered what happened last night, the kiss, she had taken me away it seems, it was as if she stole me from Mika, and kept me for herself.
"Leave this place." I spoke, with a regret, knowing this won't happen.
"Fufufu...master, if I left, how will you live?" Aimi tried guessing.
I stand up, and shout.
"WITHOUT A KILLER, EVERYTHING IS EASY!"
My eyes became teary, last night I was in command of somebody who has killed another of my maid. I'm terrified, I don't know what to do.
"My my~" Aimi looks at me, straight in the eyes.
"Young Master, I asked, how would you live? All the other maids are~ well, gone."
Aimi spoke, hiding her excitement.
My eyes became blank "WHAT"
"Don't worry, I didn't kill them. I said, master demanded a leave for all maids for a period of time."
"This way, me and master can have so, mm, personal time." Aimi tried saying this without a shaking and happy voice.
On the other, hand, I was relieved, atleast they aren't killed.
"Well, I'm leaving for work. Goodbye." I was lying, I'm going to go to the police station. I was planning to make sure to click photos of the incident, where Rosa has died.
"B-but, master!" She spoke nervously, as if she wanted to spend more time with me.
I didn't sit for breakfast, not for a bath either. truth is, I was rushing my way out of the mansion as soon as possible.
"...My~ master hasn't eaten his breakfast, nor taken his lunch. Such a rush!" Aimi spoke deeply.
Hearing these words, I got a shock, I realised. I am at a risk of getting killed too, right? If I don't follow as she says, it can be over for me too.
I try playing off normal "Ah, yeah. I'll go make it."
"No! Master, have your memories been at a loss? I'm the maid. Rely on me!" Aimi spoke as if she wanted me to just relax.
How could I relax? There's a serial killer in my mansion.
I did sit down at the dining table. My eyes searched for Rosa's....corpse. but, to my surprise I found nothing.
"You cleaned it up?" I asked.
"Cleaned, what, master?" She tilted her head.
"Don't play dumb. You exactly know what I'm talking about." I said boldly. I'm still the master.
"Remember the bag, master?" Aimi guides me through her words.
"That bag, has the dead bodies!" Aimi spoke cheerfully, it isn't even a cheerful thing though.
"Why did you kill that innocent person...WHY?" I asked.
"Well, she was crying infront of my master, and that indecent lady even had the audacity to ask my master for any sort of...service? You realise it is something only I'm obliged to, right? Only I can satisfy master's desires. Both formal and.....sexual." Aimi blushed at her own words. But with a mix of jealousy, she clenched her fists.
I knew she was a crazy lady, but to this extent?
"Say, why is it this jealousy of yours? How does it justify killing somebody?"
"As a maid, everything is justified as long as the master is satisfied." Aimi spoke gently.
"But I'm no-" Aimi put a finger on my lips
"But I'm more qualified to know what's best for master, than master is, himself. Fufu~" Aimi countinued.
Clock struck 9am, and I prepared to leave for work, which is to go to the police station.
As I went out, at the gate, my hand was grabbed by a gentle force.
"oh hoo, master, I see, you're trying to escape, aren't you?" Aimi was quite informal this time.
"Just know this, master, if you go out, it will be a breakage of our contract.. remember?" She added.
I realised this, I realised I'm completely trapped by this woman. She is in control of me. In order to save others, I must sacrifice myself. To this demon.
"Okay then, fine. What do you want me to do then?"
Aimi pointed at the calendar.
"It's Sunday, so no work." She said, as if she's hinting to something.
Seeing this development, I wondered what's more to come? I must live. That's all I know.
She thought of something
"I know something." She said as if she had planned this, for a long time.
She didn't take much time, she lead me to the maid's room, to her room.
"Master, I- just don't be creeped out, okay?" She warned me.
"I'm not interested in anything. Get over with this already."
She giggled at my words, and lead me to her room.
Opening the door of the room, I gasped.
"What....is... this..."
