Helloooooooo, I'm Satsuki Ruri, a 26-year old woman who's a closet otaku and is currently a nanny to a chuuni foreigner.
Being a nanny wasn't really what I wanted to be when I grew up, but life... It really has ways to make people choose a curve ball.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to have a job that relates to computers and technology.
Instead, though, I became a nanny. While the job itself was fine, the pay was good too, since my charge was from America and they were loaded.
But *sigh...
The only problem was Emilia-sama or rather her problems became mine too. She's really is a good kid. She's not your typical rich brat; she's got manners; the kid's polite, but she's too formal.
Too formal, in fact, since she's a chuuni princess and she got issues with people who were just being pricks.
I knew her problems are concerning, and I guess her being a chuunibyou was the reason why she became a hermit.
Just not fitting in because she's too weird for the norms.
And the way she speaks too, long string of words that I kinda get but on the other hand don't, but seriously...
Emilia-sama should be at least an 8 year old kid, but how could a kid like that know words better than a grown-ass adult?
It kinda hurt my pride. And she's a foreigner too, now I feel low.
And another red flag, her being alone with just a nanny and a driver without other supervision, her parents being an example? My guess that her parents basically abandoned her in a foreign place because she's too weird for their taste or they just don't want to deal it with her.
What assholes. Though that's just my assumption.
So for the pay and pitying this kid since the nannies that signed up previously left since they can't handle Emilia's attitude, I decided to be the adult and took care of this problem princess with the driver.
"I see, thus you must be the destined one who will be the retainer of I, the Princess of Darkness and Seals, Emilia Siegel. Rejoice that you have earned such a privilege. So what is your name, commoner? " was the kids' first introduction when the driver informed her that I'll be working here.
When I first met Emilia-sama, the thought that came to mine was: "Wow... a real-life Chuuni."
Then I played along, much to the driver's chagrin.
I guess he was in the presence of the weird kid for far too long that he honestly didn't think that the nanny could be worse or would even play along.
"Ah, forgive me, Hime-sama. I did not know that I would work with the presence of royalty such as you. This retainer is named Satsuki Ruri." Of course, when I declared that, Emilia's blue eyes started sparkling in excitement.
Well, being a nanny needs her charge to be happy, so having someone who's got the same interest as Emilia might help her be more open to me. Plus, I've got this under the bag. Heheh, I've been roleplaying since my junior years, so of course my act won't falter.
As the driver — whose name I should probably need to ask— pulled me aside before Emilia-sama could go off on a tangent with me.
He then led me to a deserted room, making me a little suspicious of his dubious actions.
When he turned around to face me, I braced myself but was surprised when he bowed instead.
"Forgive me, Satsuki-san." He suddenly apologizes to me, making me look at him blankly. "Most people don't react like that towards Emilia. So excuse my expression at the time when I thought you would mock her... I was just preparing myself. "
"Oh—... Wait... So you're saying that a lot of people tried to do that when she talks like that?" I was a little surprised. And when he nodded, I felt a tiny bit angry at those previous people who went in and applied.
Seriously they're adults, how could they just trampled on a child's fantasy like that.
"So it's a relief to know that you're not like them." He continued but then smiled towards me as he extended a hand in my direction when he got up from bowing. "Oh, I nearly forgot... I'm Walter Gain. Simply call me Gain-san as you Japanese people do, Satsuki-san. It is a pleasure working with you in the future."
While I don't know if I should feel a bit offended or not, I just simply saved myself the time and smiled, taking his hand and firmly shaking it.
"Thank you, Gain-san, and pleasure as well."
And with that, I, Gain-san, and Emilia-sama started living together. Along the way, the kid started warming up to me as she, who I noticed, started slipping from her Chuuni talk to normal talk.
It was heartwarming to see, and I never regretted working here and started treating both Gain-san and Emilia-sama as family.
I've even invited the two to a holiday event in my parents' home, and my family practically feels the same way.
They just dote on little Emilia-sama, and having their daughter as an otaku, they weren't really phased when my charge started going chuuni on them. They were surprised at the start, but they just smiled wearily at my direction at first, then started talking to her in a more formal tone to match hers, making her feel over the moon.
And saying stuff like: "Hmmph- as expected from the parents of my most talented and royal servant!"
Though seriously... Their gazes were on me when Emilia started talking... It's like they thought I had something to do with her being a chuuni.
They really thought my hobby had corrupted her. Well jokes on them, she's already been corrupted... By whatever kind of media that influences young Emilia-sama.
Of course... Gain-san, who I started calling Walter-kun at the time, made my parents ecstatic. I can already tell that they got the wrong impression of Walter-kun being my boyfriend instead of him being my work buddy.
And with their misunderstanding, me and Walter just felt embarrassed at the time. Beet-red and all.
Walter wasn't actually half bad. While he looks older than me, he's actually has this youthful feel, like an older brother.. His handsome and reliable... And I don't have a crush on him.
Haaaa..
It was a good 2 years... To bad it abruptly ended along with our lives one night.
Being held atgunpoint as I was screaming at their hold, desperately trying to warn Walter and Emilia-sama to get the hell away... was not one of my brightest ideas to date, and I couldn't care less if I was being punched or kicked repeatedly to stay silent. Not now, when there's a possibility that everyone will die tonight.
Fuck... I'm scared shitless yet here I am, ignoring my kidnappers' (killers') orders.
Why was this happening? I don't really know... Maybe Emilia's parents were in some deep shit to even have this scenario happen in the first place.
Haaa...
I'm losing my cool and consciousness. I've been beaten into submission now. Ugh, everything hurts... Just why did Walter-Kun forget to close the fucking gate? Did he even forget? Was it those guys' fault? Did they break in, and I'm too stupid to realize their fuckin' trap?
Walter's a diligent worker... No way in hell would he leave it wide open when he knew how rich Emilia's parents were and how much trouble it might cause... Like the trouble now...
Fuuuck...
"Tch..! It seems like this bitch's scream alerted someone inside. They've already locked the damn doors. We need to finish this ASAP." One of the men said with a disgruntled look. "And here I thought this was an easy gig. Kill the kid and the people inside, burn this fucking manor up and get the money. "
'Well, at least I made you guys struggle.' I thought as I was punched in the face again.
Pakk!
"Guh—...!!"
"Smug are we? Don't think for a second were going to give up just because we can't enter." The one who was holding me chuckled at my pained face.
"When we have you as bait, those people inside won't hesitate to do something they just might regret just to get you back." The other guy taunted me as I forced a harsh laugh in return.
Really... Where did my fear go? I guess adrenaline took the reins today.
"Hahaha... W-What gave you shits that idea?" Shit, I stuttered. "I'm just a worker here. There are many people working here. Why would they do something like that? "
The guy holding me just chuckled again and leaned towards my ears. as if whispering a secret between friends.
"Actually, pretty lady, being bait isn't really what we need. We were just ordered to kill the residents here in any way we want, so long as we don't leave any evidence that tracks to us. But to my crew here, killing like that is boring. So... we want to liven things up!"
"So we're not really caring if you're the most important worker they have or the most forgettable one. But... Realistically, let's face facts. You're are important. Important to that kid at least and even to that pissy male-servant... So! Let's see their reaction when they see you being killed! Hahahahahah"
The disgusting man bellowed like a maniac as I leaned backwards in disgust. I didn't even know that I was crying till I felt something wet slide across my cheeks. I was too busy trying to get enough distance away from this creep to care if I did cry like a baby. "You see, we actually have been watching you three for a month now. So we already knew of your routines and it's not really difficult to put bombs around this manor."
Bombs!? They put bombs in the house and me and Walter didn't even notice..!?
I guess my expression showed my surprise since the man started to smirked, he motion the guy holding the gun as they shared a disgusting look towards me.
"Too bad our orders stated that everyone needs to die. If it weren't that, then we might just spare a lady like you. So I guess playing with you like this might just have to do for now."
And with that sentence a *Bang!! was heard as I soon saw nothing... But... Even dying like this, I swear I could hear someone crying out my name.

So... When blackness consumes me.. that was expected... But when I heard voices...
I became confused.
A/N: Well another story... Seriously I really love the reincarnated bizz that I'm honestly afraid if I have no more ideas for the death start of it all.
Writing this because I suddenly saw a clip from YouTube about the Misaka clones then I've gotten hooked... With just a 2 minute video of them goofing around.
Hopefully you like this, I certainly did.
... And I also had fun with the cover!
