The Advisor
It stinks, a whole lot.
"Boss, wake up," I said as I watched the bundle under a luxurious blanket while ignoring the men.
The last night was loud and annoying. Luckily, I have earplugs but that did not stop me from feeling the vibrations in the air.
Why?
A groan was my only reply.
Taking a look at the men, I could only shake my head. There were some gods and some goddesses as well.
Some adventurers too.
Well, good luck surviving the yanderes.
"Boss, remember that we have important events today," I said as I walked to the estate's curtain and opened it, letting the sunshine on the people. "Okay, people. Out with you all."
One by one, I waited for them to leave before making a note to burn my clothes and mask.
"Boss?"
"Morning, Ren..." Freya said as she rose from her bed, letting the blanket fall and showing her beauty. It has no effect.
"Morning, Freya." I greeted while handing her a cup of coffee.
"What time do I need to go to the hostess?" She asked while taking a sip from the beverage as I pulled out one of her dresses.
"No need, I contacted Mia and told her you would be resting today." While she was a deity, she was living as a mortal. Besides, she needs to rest. I can't let my boss burn herself out.
"Hm? Not going to see Ryuu or Lunoire today?" She asked... why did she have that smug smile.
"Why would I? You know I go there for your bodyguard detail." I said before taking some things back. "And hang out with my Mood Kindred."
"You and Anya are becoming very close."
"Well... we do share the same brain from time to time..."
"About Allen,"
"I'll let him tell you himself," I said, cutting her off. I won't betray my friend's trust. "Stop pouting," I said as I handed her the dress while using my arcane marksman to sterilize the entire room.
"You never told me about your type in women," She said as she finished putting her dress on while I used my distortion world to teleport the soiled clothes and other washable to the laundry people.
"Why would I?" I asked as we both walked to the estate's dining room where many are eating.
"I'll help you find one."
"No thanks, I'd rather court them myself."
"How cute."
I opened the door and much to my surprise, only Ottar and Allen were the executives inside, along with a lot of people from the lower levels.
If you are curious, I got promoted. I was now an executive in charge of the R and D unit. I'm honestly more of an ideas man but yeah... an executive.
I even have my partner.
"Ren!" A black-haired, red-eyed beauty called out.
"Nobu." I greeted with a nod as I sat by her side. She is my partner and friend. I do wonder why mood kindred looked annoyed when she saw us eating there.
Oh?
I promised I will go with her to the dungeon.
My bad.
"Fou!"
"Hello, Fou," The beast of comparison, the greatest murderer of primates or humanoids, landed on the table and curled around itself.
I have befriended the greatest killer of primates.
Nice!
Taking my spoon and fork in contrast to Nobu's chopsticks, I slowly dug into my meal. It was good enough I guess.
"Nom!" Suddenly, Nobunaga, Nobu for short, struck and claimed my food.
Why?!
Red eyes stared at mine with a big grin.
"Thanks for the meal!"
I grabbed her face and started squishing, pinching, and pulling on her cheeks.
"Stop eating my food," I said as I looked at her.
"I'm your partner! Your things are my things!"
"My boxers aren't yours!" I shouted as I saw her wearing my boxers.
"Deal within!" A smug smirk appeared on her face as she puffed her chest in pride and victory while letting out a laugh.
"Why is my life like this?!"
...
An hour later. Using a disguise, I dragged a bored Nobu with me on my patrol around the city. No one knows my real face except for Nobu, Freya, and the executives.
To others, I look like Donte.
The game was good. It's my first Devil may cry game.
For others, Nobu probably looked like someone else or she did not use a disguise.
Lame!
"Hey, Ren?" Nobu said as she grabbed my hand.
"Yeah?"
"Let's have fun!" What the!?
Nobu!
Stop!
...
The Lyon's gale
Syr did not work today. Why?
All I know is that Mama talked with Ren before.
Could Ren be dating Syr?
No way. Those two are like siblings.
"Something wrong, Ryuu?" Asked Anna, my co-worker, and clumsy... friend.
"No!"
"No way! We won this fair and square old fart!" A red-eyed black-haired woman from the Far eat shouted as she held a crossbow with a grin beside a man with short black hair.
Is that Ren?
What is he doing?
The young man nonchalantly used several throwing daggers to win some prizes at the booths while a sack of prizes was by his side.
"That's the 2nd one!" Said the woman before taking a bite from the treat Ren held in his hand.
What?
"Stop eating my food!" Ren shouted while pushing her away and keeping her away from his food with one arm.
"No! Your things are mine!"
"Damn it, Nobu!" Suddenly, the woman grabbed his food and ate them all with a grin.
They seem to be having fun.
Well, Anya and I still have work to be done...
Where is she?
"Oh? What's that, mood kindred, nya?" Asked my co-worker as she stood beside Ren.
"Oh, I have a day off today and Nobunaga invited me to hang out." He said. "Hey, Ryuu."
"Ren," I greeted as I looked at his hands. He had some burns and scars on them. How did that happen? Did he get hurt in the dungeon?
"good timing," He said as he grabbed the young woman beside him and showed her to us. "This is my partner, Nobunaga Oda."
"Yo! I'm the fool, Nobunaga Oda!" She introduced herself with a grin. She was shorter than him.
"Damn it, Nobu! Stop eating my food!" Ren shouted as he glared at his partner while trying to stop her from taking his food. It resulted in him holding her hand...
This was annoying to watch
