Chapter 1 - Are You My Maid?
It seems ... good luck is not on my side.
As Momoka and I were on our way home, we were greeted with a series of accidents that were a little more unique than usual.
Baaammm!!
Without any apparent warning, the sound of an explosion echoed as we were about to enter our residential area. Just a few meters away at a major intersection, we saw a car that exploded and burned terribly.
"Weiss, I feel like your fate is a little luckier than experiencing something like this," said Momoka with her dark joke as she watched the car explode and burn in front of her eyes.
"I know that my fate is a little better than this. But..." The words filled with feelings of wanting to run away from this place were like getting sharp stares from a group of people who seemed to be tied to the dark underworld.
Not far from the accident site across from where we lived, a misfortune had befallen me.
"Can you face them all at once?" I asked Momoka who only gave her a small laugh.
"Isn't it supposed to be older brother's job to protect his cute younger sister?" Momoka said while stretching her fingers to do a fistfight that matched her S-rank strength level.
"This should be a pretty easy task for an S-rank in the future," replied Momoka who was preparing to attack with her physical abilities, I could see her Succubus wings growing out and her Succubus tail snaking around.
My steps took a step back to give Momoka some space to move.
"If you come back safe after this, I'll make your favorite dinner," I said as a farewell to Momoka who was now giving a hard slap on her physical boundaries that crashed until it created a wave of wind that hit my body hard.
Wooosshh!!
Hit by this wave of wind, my body moved back a little and felt my ribs move slightly in gripping my lungs.
Yes, just from this small movement. A destructive wind wave can be created by a monster with S-rank combat power.
Letting Momoka do her job well. I could see a battle between an S-rank monster and several groups of suspicious people who seemed to be targeting something in this series of accidents.
"In a world with an era that has changed to the concept of magic, this kind of classic method is still done?" I said while muttering along the large road to cross to the other side.
The broken traffic lights and several injured civilians seemed to be fine after several civilians were able to use recovery magic.
This situation made me take out my smartphone and call the emergency number for a major accident like this.
The trip home that should have been relaxing without any problems suddenly found a unique incident from this fake accident.
My cellphone immediately called the emergency number until it was connected to one of the operators on duty.
"Hello, District A4 emergency service. Is there an emergency that requires our assistance?"
"Yes, there was an accident in District A4-334. Please send some medics and some heavy equipment to clean up the wreckage of the exploded car."
With that short answer, I ended the call to the emergency services that were on their way to this place.
Walking through the wreckage of the overturned cars from the explosion and the fake accident. I saw a Limousine that had activated its protective magic all over the body of the car.
An uneasy feeling immediately filled my body as if telling me that there was something related to the Limousine and the accident that was deliberately made like this.
Crraacckk!!
When the protective magic on the Limousine broke, I could see an Elf girl coming out along with another Elf girl. Their bodies seemed to be injured by something that happened before.
I wanted to get away from this unpleasant situation but was hindered by my human side which was still weak in seeing the beauty of the Elf girl who was not far from me.
I managed to hide in the wreckage of an overturned car and used my smartphone camera to do a quick search on the DeepSea search engine.
Kriikk!!
My screenshot managed to capture the few shots I needed and started using the results to search for images that matched them.
When the search on the DeepSea search engine showed results, I could only feel regret after finding out that they were Idol girls who were currently famous for their natural beauty as an Elf race whose physical specs exceeded other races.
With a bad feeling that was getting more and more real like this, I can only speculate that they were dealing with bad management and accidentally triggered a fit of anger until an incident like this happened.
I don't know what kind of problem they are doing, this is none of my business at all!
Kaabbaaammm!!!
Baaaammm!!
In this chaos, I could see Momoka excitedly moving her body to jump to every corner of the street quickly and beat them one by one with her strong hand punches.
It was a movement that was impossible for a human with a weak physique like me to do.
Just seeing it made my survival instinct struggle and wanted to get out of this place immediately.
"Cough!!"
A coughing sound made my eyes turn to the source of the sound.
The Elf girl who had just come out had a little difficulty in getting out some of her unconscious Elf friends. Seeing the condition of the wounds on her body, she had to get medical help immediately before it was too late.
In my heart, which still cared about providing help, it was at odds with my body's instincts that wanted to survive this situation.
An emotional turmoil had filled my body.
Should I help the Elf girl or run away from this situation to survive?
With this kind of support magic ability, can I do something that suits my abilities in a situation like this?
Questions like that kept spinning in my head until the sound of an explosion happened again.
Above the sky of the main road that had experienced an accident like this, I could see Momoka who was exerting her physical strength beyond her limits. Her Succubus wings had bloomed perfectly and were flying above the sky. She was facing someone who seemed to have the power to entertain Momoka for a while.
This situation that made me useless like a loser.
If only my mysterious ability was awakened, I would be grateful to do something that would bring out my best ability every time.
[ Detecting Master's belief that wants to do anything... Passed the first stage! ]
[ Measuring the intelligence of Master who acts according to the situation... Passed the second stage! ]
[ Adjusting the development level of Master who can develop at any time... Passed the third stage! ]
While I was complaining about myself being useless like this. I felt like I was being toyed with by the message screen in front of my face like this. A screen that made me bite my lip to realize how useless I was with my ability that hadn't awakened.
"In the middle of a situation like this, there's someone who's joking with me like this?" I muttered a little while looking around to find someone who was being joking like this.
Kaabbaammm!!!
Baaaammm!!!
An emergency like this... there's someone who's joking with me?
"Haha..." I let out a small breath to laugh at his little joke.
[ Your ability has been reassessed and you are entitled to a unique ability "Maid Order". Would you like to use this ability? ]
This time, a selection screen floated in front of me.
I don't know what happened and how far this joke will go.
What is certain, I have pressed the "YES" button on the message screen in front of my eyes.
[ Your approval as the owner of the unique ability "Maid Order" has been approved! ]
[Installing your unique ability .... 100% successful! ]
[ Welcome, Master! ]
When the message screen displayed strange words, I just smiled wryly and saw various setting screens like those in the game world.
In a world filled with the concept of magic like this, I have to face an interactive screen like in a modern game.
This joke seems to want to play with me further.
[ Please choose your first Maid, to serve you! ]
[ The maximum limit of Maids you can use now is 1! ]
"Haha ..." I laughed again when I saw this message screen still teasing me.
Someone is trying to joke me to go this far, huh?
If that's what you want, then I'll play around with you a little!
Tapp...
Tapp...
I quickly stepped out of the wreckage of the overturned car and walked towards the Elf girl who was currently a famous Idol.
My sudden appearance seemed to have scared her and she tried to get away from me but her body was blocked by the Limousine car.
If you want to tease me like this, then I will tease others in this way too.
"It seems like you need help with a wound like that, want to be my Maid for a while?" I asked the only Elf girl who was still conscious and guarding her Elf-friend.
I could see the wrinkles on her eyebrows as she looked at me with a cynical look.
I know that my question is very strange, but I have to do it after someone is teasing me with a strange message screen like this.
Rather than letting this person tease me further, I just need to take her jokess too seriously until it gets bored and releases this magical jokes on my eyes.
"What do you mean?!" with a reply filled with her sharp gaze like that, I felt like I was looking at an Elf girl who was disgusted by me.
I ignored her sharp gaze and looked at the message screen that was now changing in front of me.
[ Do you want to make this Elf girl your first Maid? ]
"I ask you once again to help you, do you want to be my Maid?" I asked in a cold tone as if ignoring her sharp gaze that almost made me take a step back.
Getting a sharp gaze from an Elf girl almost made me lose my body's composure.
"I-I..." her sharp gaze seemed to be shaken by something that appeared in front of her eyes too.
It looked like the message screen I was seeing this time but with another question directed at her.
[ A Master wants to make you his Maid, are you willing to serve this noble task to swear loyalty to your one Master? ]
It seems like another joke is now being diverted to this Elf girl.
Should I feel relieved after the joke of someone who was teasing me was shifted to this injured Elf girl?
"What is this?" asked the Elf girl with a questioning look at me.
"I might be able to help you who are injured. You must also have a grudge against that person," I said while glancing up at the sky and seeing Momoka who was flying to attack someone in the air.
"Tch!!" seeing the response shown by her. It seemed that my random guess was right on target.
"I say it again, Are you my Maid?"
With that question, I accidentally filled my peaceful life with great responsibility.
