216 Maids And Future Path

[Third Person POV]

"Everyone~! As your new boss~! You will be at my command~!"

Nene spoke smugly, saying those words. Charles had given her the responsibility of taking care of these maids. Since that was the case, many ideas were coming to her head.

"Yes!"

"Let's begin your introduction~! From now on, I will call you by a number~!"

With ten people, Nene didn't bother calling the maids by name but instead gave them numbers from one to ten. Number One would be the oldest, and Ten would be the youngest.

No one here had complained because Charles had saved them from the evil clutches of a cruel politician. Their previous lifestyle was filled with misery, so their perception changed over time due to their mistreatment, living as captives.

"Did Charles hire a bunch of new maids?"

Rose had entered the room, confused by the commotion caused by the black cat. Nene wasn't exactly quiet about what she was up to. Since it had included the maids, Rose felt the need to join.

"Yes~! He gave me orders to take care of these girls~!"

"This here is your senior~! Also, one of Master's lover~! Do you have anything else to add~?"

Nene did a quick summary of who Rose was. It didn't give them much information, but one thing to know was not to mess with Rose.

"You may call me Rose. It's nice to meet you all."

Since Rose had stopped being the daughter of a wealthy family, all her pride had gone down the drain. She didn't care about formalities and told the maids here to be casual with her.

"Nene, what do you plan on doing with them? We can get them to use to working now."

At some point, these maids would have to go to work. Nene and Rose were already here. Teaching them now was the perfect time.

"I planned to mess with flatty first..."

"I heard that."

Reina appeared out of nowhere and sighed. After all the nicknames Nene gave her, Reina lost the will to talk back, knowing she would be talking to a brick wall.

"Charles shouldn't have given you so much responsibility..."

Reina looked at the maids, wondering if it was safe for them to be under the care of Nene. She hoped nothing would go wrong with them being under the cat's care.

"Master loves me~! That why~!"

"..."

All the maids here were watching them talk. They were wondering when this idle talk would be finished.

"I will let you do your own thing. I'm going to meet with Charles."

Reina left, knowing that staying longer would waste time for these maids. With Reina gone, Rose and Nene took command.

"Let's start with cleaning. It's a simple task that you can't go wrong."

~

Twenty minutes into the task, everything was going wrong. The simple task of cleaning up was something these girls had no talent for.

Most of them were clumsy and had made more of a mess than necessary. Nene had sweat on her forehead, not knowing how this was possible.

As for Rose, she felt her brain was about to crash. She thought she was a terrible teacher, along with Nene, if they couldn't do anything right.

The mess made could be replaced, but who knows how many times these maids would do it again.

"Stop!!!"

Before any more mess was caused, Rose stopped every maid from doing what they were doing. The maid had stopped at Rose's command.

"Does anyone have any talents that they would like to share?"

Seeing the mess these girls had made, Rose wanted to make sure if anyone here had the talent to do other unconventional work for a maid. If they can't do the basics, they might as well do something else to serve Charles.

"I'm good at messages!"

"I have been praised for my singing!"

One by one, these girls showed their unique talents. None of them had any talent for housework. Considering how many there are, it was unlikely for this to happen.

With each talent shown to Rose and Nene, Rose thought of an idea to develop those talents.

[Charles POV]

"Are you sure you should be giving that cat so much power?"

After hunting some influential figures in this world, I let the maids do their thing. Nene should be with those maids doing whatever they were tasked to do.

Reina walked in and started to talk to me with concern. I doubt Nene would be so irresponsible with these maids.

Constance and Claire were already in my room, taking in the warmth of my body. Since they were asleep at my side, I stayed in bed, letting them rest peacefully.

"She should be fine. Have a little more trust in her."

"Sorry, with how she acts. I can't see that happening."

Nene's personality was something else. But even if she was strange in the eyes of others, she wasn't someone who would mess things up.

Maybe I should check in on Nene to see how they are doing. Using my vision, I saw the sink flooded, and the toilet was broken. I had unconsciously turned off my skill, not wanting to deal with that problem.

"Is there something wrong?"

"The maids here are fucking up with their cleaning duty. We may want to get a repairman."

Reina saw that I was serious and couldn't help but sigh. She had predicted, and I hope, that this was the only incident they would cause. I doubt it would be, though.

"Charles. What do you plan on doing next? You have been doing many things, but I feel like you're taking it slow."

Reina's question stumped me. I had no idea what I had planned to do next. I lay on the bed, feeling the comfort of Claire and Constance.

"I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"

"That's odd. You don't often give suggestions about the future. You usually shudder them alone, even when we are in a relationship."

"This time, it's different. Now that you are free from many duties, you can choose what you want to do. Thanks to you, I had my abilities strengthened, and with my skills powered up, I can see more of your path. At the moment, you have too many paths to choose from, but along those, something terrible will happen. Even if you are bored, I can't have that happen to you."

My eyes widened when Reina said something terrible could happen. I couldn't imagine what horrible things would happen, but if there were a chance for it, I would have to prepare for what was to come.

"So what danger could I be facing?"

Since it was trouble, I might as well ask now and deal with it accordingly. Reina didn't say a word once I mentioned it.

"There's a high chance you will lose your powers, while the other half of the problem is that you will be captured. It's only twenty percent, but that chance is high as for the reason why, I don't know."

It was a shame that she couldn't see what danger I was getting myself into. That doesn't mean I could avoid it.

"Then what should I do?"

"There is a fifth-rank world that you will be interested in. While the world is dangerous, the problems you will face will disappear."

"I see... Which world will we be going? I assume everyone here will be coming."

It wouldn't feel right to leave someone I liked behind. Before I went to a different world, I needed to make a schedule for everyone that worked for me.

"The Celestial Realm will be the best place to be."

Reina had been staring at the girls beside me the whole time. Frustrated that these girls were feeling my warmth, Reina went in the middle and got on top of me.

"Cozy, isn't it?"

I smiled at the cute gesture that she made. Her body rubbed against mine as she stared into my eyes with a glint. She nodded slowly and kissed me in response to my response.

It was a shame I couldn't move my arms due to Constance and Claire. I would have comforted Reina more with how she looked.

"MASTER~!!!"

Reina's face turned sour upon hearing Nene's voice. Nene shouted as she entered my room, barging in.

"Nene, is something the matter?"

"One of the maid's talents is messaging~! You've got to try it out~!"

Was that all? I didn't think it would be great if someone had talent in messaging. I thought Nene was overreacting.

I had used my intangibility to get the girls off me. Along with Reina and Nene, I wanted to see what the commotion was all about.

"This is number three, she's the best masseuse I have seen~!"

Number three? Was Nene really that lazy with names? Well, I guess it doesn't matter if the person being called didn't care.

With number three doing her role, I had the urge to give her a raise for her work. Truly, a splendid talent.
