CHAPTER 174: CHAPTER 21 - THE FALLEN GODDESS DILEMMA

Flap...

Flap...

Clara flapped her Valkyrie wings and tried to decide on which smartphone she wanted to buy.

"Hmm..."

With various considerations swirling in her mind, Clara looked like she was having trouble making a decision, and made Chizuru smile teasingly.

"Clara, as someone who understands what you want, I would suggest you get a smartphone with high security and a better camera. You must be hesitant about the cute and adorable shape of a smartphone like this, right?" said Chizuru while pointing to one of the smartphones known for its stable software and hardware that can only be produced exclusively by the smartphone brand itself.

Unlike me, who prioritizes smartphone features that can be repaired and have spare parts replaced easily, Chizuru actually gives a suggestion for a smartphone that is easy to use by elderly people.

Chizuru’s advice wasn’t too bad, and it was actually good for Clara, who didn’t understand Earth’s technological developments. Chizuru’s help and advice were enough to help Clara make her decision.

Flap...

Flap...

Clara, who was confused about the choices and variations of smartphones in front of her, glanced at me as if asking for help in making her decision.

I, who understood the look in her eyes that needed help, immediately approached her and looked at the choice of smartphones in front of her.

"Um, Master Weiss... I know this is a little embarrassing. Could Master Weiss please pick out a smartphone for me to use daily?" Clara asked, lowering her head and holding back a blush.

Her shyness was evident in her Valkyrie wings, which drooped limply. She looked both cute and awkward, simply asking her Master for a choice.

Tap...

Tap...

With relaxed steps, I approached Clara and stood beside her.

Her head was also bowed down as if she was holding back her embarrassment at her timid attitude and hesitation in making decisions.

"Still haven’t decided what you want, Clara?" I asked as I stood beside her and looked at the selection of smartphones before her.

"Un, seeing so many variations of smartphones like this, I feel confused and don’t understand them," Clara said, causing Chizuru to whisper in my ear.

"Master Weiss, perhaps you’ve already noticed. This fallen goddess is a bit technologically illiterate and only understands what she wants to learn. I’m pretty sure that Clara only needs a smartphone to contact me or the other Maids, as if she doesn’t want to be left behind in the current trend," Chizuru whispered, making me chuckle when I heard it.

"If that’s the case, then you need to teach Clara how to use a smartphone properly, by using this," I replied, making a decision that Clara couldn’t make.

Touch...

Touch...

My hand immediately tapped on one of the variations of smartphones offered by Clara.

The smartphone I chose is from a brand that’s not overly complicated to use. Although it uses an operating system rarely used by other smartphones, makes it secure against cybercrime and easy enough for a layperson to use for the first time.

"I don’t think this is too bad. Do you agree with this?" I asked Chizuru about the choice of smartphone that I wanted to buy for Clara.

"That’s pretty good, Master Weiss. For the next five years, it will still be a good smartphone," Chizuru said, nodding her head.

Nod...

Nod...

I also nodded my head after making a easy decision for Clara.

"Then, I’ll take care of purchasing this smartphone first," Chizuru smiled after saying this, and stretched out her hand as if to borrow the black card I had.

"..." I didn’t say anything about this and immediately took out Amagi’s black card to Chizuru.

Whether Chizuru adheres to the "My Master’s wealth is my wealth too" phrase or not, I’m becoming concerned about my financial resources, which essentially come from Amagi.

Apart from my principle of using the "My Maid’s wealth is also my wealth" phrase of thought, Chizuru actually used it to make payment transactions for Clara’s smartphone.

I don’t really mind this, because it’s not my money.

"If it were just using the money I have right now, I would be broke without any savings," I muttered under my breath as I glanced at the price of the smartphone.

"How can women’s underwear be so much more expensive than this newly released smartphone?" I continued muttering after seeing the price, which was not much different from the underwear that my Maids and Momoka had bought.

I think, this is the first time I have ever shopped this extravagantly without caring about my savings in the Bank.

Some of the fox girls who were doing escort glanced at me as if to say that they were having a bit of trouble with the crowd of fans of the famous former Idol group.

With pleading looks, they all seemed to be asking me not to linger in the smartphone store.

Of course, I agreed to that after I felt uncomfortable after seeing the crowd of fans looking into the smartphone store in a jostling manner.

Before any unwanted situation occurs, I must immediately get out of this smartphone shop and head to the Dungeon that is kept secret by the government.

Beep...

Beep...

I glanced at Chizuru, who was completing the purchase of Clara’s smartphone. With a few swipes of Amagi’s black card, the official payment was made.

I hope Amagi isn’t too shocked by the bill payment amount at the beginning of the month and doesn’t regret giving me the black card.

"Oh, my Maid Order ability, are the preparations for the game of destiny complete?" I asked my Maid Order ability in a low voice.

[ Maid Order: Everything has been prepared, Master Weiss. ]

[ Maid Order: Would you like to play a game of destiny that will determine the future of this pack of cute fox girls? ]

[ Maid Order: You don’t want to disappoint this pack of fox girls who are your main source of income, do you? ]

"Yes, I plan to play a game of destiny during the formation of the Master-Maid contract with them. Make sure to prepare at the right time," I continued whispering in a voice that was getting softer and sounded like I was mumbling something.

[ Maid Order: Don’t worry, Master Weiss... ]

[ Maid Order: I’ll make sure this goes smoothly according to your incredible luck. ]

"..." I was silent and sighed in relief after hearing the answer that came from my Maid Order ability.

As far as I’m concerned, Princess Amagi and Ashitaka, who helped me behind the scenes like this, deserve something that will change their destiny.

I don’t know what they’ll get through this game of destiny yet.

What’s certain is that I’ll make sure they receive the fate they deserve as lucky fox girls, blessed with boundless wealth.

If they are financially prosperous, so am I.

It is truly a mutually beneficial symbiosis.

I have decided to build a good relationship with Princess Amagi by making her a valuable Maid.

"Weiss, what are you thinking about that makes your forehead wrinkle like that?"

While I was thinking about this important thing, Momoka suddenly appeared next to me, carrying some equipment needed by streamers who use smartphones.

Seeing some portable lights and a something... long smartphone stand, I could only think badly about the things Momoka bought.

"Momoka, my mind is currently thinking about something... I don’t want to mention. Please explain what you bought, so that my mind will be more positive about the electronic goods you bought at this smartphone shop," I said while looking at each item that Momoka bought.

I don’t want to be prejudiced about this, but these are the things I often see on one of the adult sites that offer video call sex or just show lewd shows like striptease.

"Momoka..."

"Maybe... you’ve already created an account on one of the adult sites so you can buy things like this," in a soft, whisper-like tone, I tried to understand what Momoka had bought.

Momoka, who heard my words, just glanced at me with a cynical look in her eyes.

"Oh, my older brother, do you really think I dare to do something so lewd?" Momoka whispered to me.

"I don’t know what you’re thinking right now, I just bought these things for you to record the beautiful moments with your other Maids in bed. After the first night’s service, of course, it will be a private and secret night service, right?" Momoka continued while emitting her aura as an elegant and graceful noble girl.

"What’s the point of a private and secret night service if it ends up being recorded like this?" I replied, not knowing how to respond to her lewd plan.

Until now, I’ve only prioritized the comfort and safety of my maids who were performing their first night service within my Maid circle. I find the tradition of performing their first night service in the presence of other maids quite embarrassing and should be reconsidered.

Whether Elysia, Rina, and Hitomi agree or not, at least, I’ll let them know for their safety and comfort.

"This would be a worthy enough consideration to discuss privately, but I’m not sure how they’ll respond to this," I grumbled a little after thinking about this unimportant matter.

"So... should I get a refund or keep buying it?" Momoka asked with a straight face after seeing me wavering on the matter.

At times like this, I am actually confused about the decision I will take.

I’m too doubtful that Momoka won’t divert the results of her recorded video for personal consumption and will spread it outside on the internet, which is too risky.

With the Idol group Yggdrasil Advent’s already big scandal regarding the death of their CEO at the hands of Elysia and the prostitution practices of their Idol talents, the sex video scandal regarding them with their Master will be quite an hot topic of conversation.

I must immediately avoid this risk that is not commensurate with the results.

"Momoka, please refund it now. I don’t want to make a mistake that will humiliating my Maids," I said after finding an answer that showed a danger alert in this problem.

"Tch, I was almost sure this would work," Momoka grumbled, cursing under her breath and averting her eyes.

"Hey, I heard that... even though you turned your face away."

For now, the situation regarding the sex scandal between me and my Maids can be avoided.

At least, that’s what I thought before seeing Chizuru coming back with a smartphone and stuff like Momoka had bought earlier.

"Heeehh... looks like I’m not the only one who’s thinking about this, Weiss," Momoka said in an smug tone.

"Haaaahhh... I really don’t know what my Maid is thinking," I replied with a sigh.

Just like the things Momoka had bought, Chizuru returned with a big smile on her face.

After her footsteps stopped in front of me and Momoka, Chizuru looked at the things Momoka had bought and smiled lewdly at her.

"It seems... we have the same thoughts, Momoka," Chizuru said with a smile, and made Momoka smile too after their thoughts were understood by each other.

"See this... Weiss? Your maid here understands me so much better than you, who is open-minded and forward-thinking!" Momoka exclaimed, her face looking delighted at this.

Besides me, who thought this was embarrassing, Hitomi who understood this, slowly walked towards me to whisper something.

"Master Weiss, are we going to record a sex video every night?" Hitomi whispered, acting elegantly like a noble maid.

"Unfortunately, that’s what Momoka and Chizuru are thinking right now," I replied, trying to keep it calm.

"I don’t mind, as long as my sex partner is Master Weiss," Hitomi continued to whisper as she stood beside me and tried to smile happily at this obscenity.

Meanwhile, Elysia and Rina stood there, their cheeks flushed red.

And Clara was still trying to comprehend the current situation.

"Clara, this is your smartphone."

With Chizuru giving Clara her smartphone, my business at this smartphone shop was over.
