Event Story – House of Mystery: They Know All! ch.1

[kozvme]

 

Butler: Welcome back, master.

Master: You're taking too long to open the door. When I come back, I expect you to let me in right away.

Butler: ... I apologize for the inconvenience.

Master: Where's my secretary, huh?

Secretary: Right here...

Master: Let the VP know to go ahead and buy that piece of land. If the locals don't like it, we can always kick them out the usual way.
And call the solicitor in the evening. I intend to modify my will's content.
Hey, don't forget to book the VIP seat at my favorite cabaret, alright? Even if the gang has dibs, they should make room for me if you let them know I'm coming.

Secretary: ... You had a prior engagement with the boss of the Pepperoni family this evening; how shall we proceed?

Lord: There's no need to waste time with the likes of a mafioso. If I spill his secrets, that guy won't be out of the slammer for about 300 years! Gahaha!

Secretary: ... I have taken note of that.

Master: Hm? Is that dust on the stairs...
Get out here, you sorry excuses for servants!



Gray: ... D- Did you call for us, master?

Akira: Ugh, what’s the matter, boss?

Ren: ... It's not boss, it's master. That kind of makes you sound like a lackey.

Akira: ... Ah!

Ren: Well, it might suit you just fine.

Akira: Shut up, who the hell's a lackey!!

Ren: Is there anyone else here?

Akira: I ain't anyone's lackey, got itーーーー!!

Master: ......

Gray: Awawawah... if you both start fighting...

Master: Enough already, you noisy servants! Just keep your mouths shut and do your cleaning!!

Gray: Eep... P- Please forgive us...

Akira: Tch...

Ren: Hmph...

Master: Utterly revolting. I'm retreating to my room, so keep everyone away from it.

Butler: Very well, sir.

Master: Hmph, they're all useless fools, every last one of them.

Butler & Secretary: ... Tsk.



Akira: Man, the master of this place is hella irritating. It's like he's trying to start a fight with everyone with how he acts.

Gray: Yeah... I'm not really a fan of that overly assertive attitude...

Ren: I don't think there's anyone who actually likes it.
... Considering how things are, finding out the motive could be hard.

Gray: T- True...
Oh shoot, I better hurry and get rid of this dust...

Akira: What are you doing with that broom, Gray?

Gray: Huh? I'm cleaning, what else... I have to tidy up, or Master will be mad again.

Akira: Isn't it a waste of time, though? That thing's gonna happen soon.

Gray: Oh, right, I completely forgot about that...

Akira: Get it together, okay? We're not housekeepers, we're heroes, got it?

Gray: Yes, I know...

Ren: This time around, it seems like we might need an extra job title, thoughー

Master's voice: Gwaahhhh!!

Ren: It's started. You two, let's head to the scene now.

Akira: Who put you in charge, huh?

Ren: I'm not really in charge.

Akira: ... The master's room isn't over there.

Ren: ...!



Looks like the master's room is still locked.

Akira: You two better step back! I'm gonna kick it down again!

Gray: O- Okay...
