BRAGR) Possessive
🕑 Added 2024-04-21 04:54:37 +0000 UTCAfter hanging up with Derrick, I turned to Hilde, who was staring at the barrier full of these Mini Obliterates. “Hilde, is it possible to extract data from these things? Like who made them and who gave the order to kill me?”
“It is possible, but it will take time. As with all magi crafts, we will need to decode the magic runes used in crafting it, reverse them, and project what was seen at the time of creation. Master, I suggest taking up magi craft as soon as you can. It will be a big help to you later on.” Hilde did have a point. To be able to create things that could do things like assassinations might not be too bad especially if it could help me fight off monsters and other threats.
“Hilde, how big of a barrier can you create?” If possible I would like to protect the entire area that would be under our control.
“It depends on how big you need it. I would also need to get a good understanding of the surrounding area as well.” Hilde replied, which was very reasonable.
“Then tomorrow, we will take a walk around town. If possible, I want to put up a barrier around the entire area just before the monster wave happens. Block the entire area off and close the streets. It could be a kind of safe haven for those who can make it here.” By saving those we could it would give a good name to our organization. If The Fallen of Elysium could be spread far and wide, it would be good for many reasons. Trust being one of the most important things. In my dreams, the bigger organizations did the same thing. They took people into their office buildings and allowed them to take refuge until the monsters were killed by the players. This earned them a lot of reputation. But what if you could fit a few thousand? Wouldn’t that make Elysium much better?
“Master is cunning,” Hilde spoke up while hugging her body. Something was truly wrong with this maid.
“Hilde, you do what you can with these things. I leave Angel and my safety in your capable hands.” No matter how strange she is, she is still very reliable.
“I will be sure nothing happens to you, Master,” Hilde replied. I can’t help but notice she did not mention Angel at all. But I have a feeling that although she did not say it, she would still protect Angel.
“Tch…” I hear a tongue click behind me as I enter the bedroom, which makes me chuckle.
I log back into the game to see a few messages from Angel.
“Zoe, is everything okay!?”
“Zoe, hurry up and get back!”
“I will log out soon if you do not log back in!”
And before I can even say I am back I get a new message from her. “You’re back!”
“Yeah, we had a bit of trouble, but we are good now. Did you finish your quest?” I asked as I went to sit up, only to find that I seemed to have been resting on Silvie’s lap this entire time. Her big purple eyes were staring at me with a blank expression, but her hand was stroking my head. “Silvie?”
“Master was sleeping on the floor so I took the liberty to try to make you more comfortable,” Silvie replied but I could swear I saw some loneliness in her eyes.
I couldn’t help but frown at this. “Silvie, I can summon one more golem. Do you want me to summon them here so you have someone to talk to?”
Silvie shakes her head. “I would not speak to anyone else but Master.”
“I-I see.” I scratch my head, lost in thought, before reaching up and patting Silvie on the head. “Thank you. Because of you, my body was safe and sound.”
It was then that I saw Silvie’s lips curl up into a smile. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it did appear, and Silvie really had a beautiful smile.
After I got up and stretched a bit, I turned to see that the entire place was now spotless. Outside, through the window, I could also see a purplish barrier. “This place looks amazing and you already set up a barrier.”
“I did not wish to disappoint you, Master,” Silvie replied with a small bow. I think I really need to start getting used to this whole master thing. Luckily they were not calling me mistress or it would sound like I was someone who was trying to jump in bed with a married man and that was the last thing I wanted people thinking when they heard the maids calling out to me.
“You could never disappoint me, Silvie. I will need to go get Angel and then bring her back here so we can set up a teleport point. Which reminds me will the barrier block teleports?” I had forgotten about this. We needed to make sure the barrier did not block us from teleporting in.
“I can adjust it when you bring the mistress here.” And there’s the word. I have a feeling Angel is going to have a hard time dealing with these maids. But I do wonder why they seem kind of, possessive?

I don't know if that's a reference to something, but I read that first part to the tune of Rat in a Cage by Smashing Pumpkins.

Thank you for the chapter!

Despite all my maids, I'm still just a master of blades? It will be interesting if the maids start competing with each other.
