Baam!
I swung open the door before I walked in, my steps slow and tiring,
I closed the door and continued my journey towards the bed.
It's just my third day at the academy and I'm already tired, first the training, then studying, everything just kept following one another.
As soon as every activity was done, I immediately made my way to the hostel. My extrovert bar is so low right now I doubt I could hold a meaningful conversation with anybody.
Lying back first on the bed, a let out a satisfied sigh, my eyes closed and mouth open so I could take in the fresh wind coming from the window.
"Good to see you again, Lord Aether."
Hearing her voice, I immediately looked to the window and there I could see Jeane, standing close to the bed, dressed in a white skirt, black top and black jacket that failed to stay on her shoulder.
I didn't think she'd come check on me today, she's been quite busy taking care of Anti valley, oh right, five years ago, after I single handedly wiped out everything in South Walo, Jeane decided to use that place as our base and O'niel worked the paper.
So I guess you could say, The Black Haven has a whole city to themselves now, and I decided to name it Anti valley.
"Jeanne, what brings you here? I thought you and Dakail had business you wanted to take care of." I spoke, trying to continue my rest, I closed my eyes and let the relaxation take over.
"That is correct, but I had important news to share with you…"
"Oh? I see".
"And… is it wrong for me to want to see my master?"
How am I supposed to answer that question? Sounds like something straight out of a romcom manga… wait… since when did Jeane start talking like this…
I opened my eyes, only to see her, right on top of me, her long blonde hair falling on my chest,
"Quilla managed to gather information on them, The Higurashi are still running around looking for ways to strengthen their god…"
"Interesting."
Jeane began unbuttoning my shirt, once she was done, she moved down and pulled off my shoe. As I said, she's quite the loyal girl.
"And also, I think the red faction leader, Galen, would like to have an audience with you…" She continued.
Galen? Is that another enemy we've made? I mean, I know I managed to make a lot of oops over these five years, from kings to dukes, but I didn't think I would be this oblivious to their names.
"Any idea why he wants to see me?" I asked.
"I believe he wants to ask for an alliance… a contract between the Black Haven and Revengers… according to Raphael, we have the same goal… at least to a certain degree".
"I guess I can make time for that…"
"Oh and also…"
"Lord Chaos!!!"
From the window, a swarm of bats rushed in, before they gathered and formed into Raphael, who was standing there staring at me with a smile on her face.
"Lord Chaos, how have you been? I've been worried, you haven't shown yourself in Anti valley for over a week, are you eating well? Do you need me to give you massages?" She kept rambling, kneeling on the bed to move closer to me.
"Raphael, control yourself..." Uttered Jeane, slowly raising and standing to her feet.
"Oh? You're still here? Sorry, it's hard to tell if you're gone considering you barely say a word." Raphael spoke back, with a teasing look in her eyes.
"I see you still haven't learned your manners, it all went to your boobs… not that I'm surprised…"
"Oh? Are you jealous?".
Sigh! Come to think of it, these two have been at each other's throats for a while, but it's not my business so I won't bother asking.
I sat upright, sending a side glance at Raphael before I asked,
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, yes, this…" She reached for her cleavage and pulled out a paper before handing it to me,
Taking it, I instantly looked at what was inside, there I could see a chart, with a list of profits and barely any losses,
"Hmmm.." I uttered out loud, "What am I looking at here?".
"... Is… the profit not to your liking?" Raphael asked, a bit of nervousness in her eyes.
'Uhn? Profits?'
I took another look at the papar and scrolled down until my eyes fell on it. At first I thought this paper was a map or strangy setup of some kind.
But I was wrong…
It's a report of the amount they made over the last month. A few years back, I gifted them knowledge of my previous world, something to make them stand out as unique with their lives outside of Black Haven.
This was my way of answering their wishes, so I asked each one of them what they wanted to do.
Raphael stated she wanted to run a business, so I taught her how to do so, with restaurants, parks, hostels and so on.
O'neil wanted to do whatever, so I taught him a bit of Magical technology, seeing as technology has always been part of advanced civilization.
Zakiel became a pop idol/ model, I taught her all of the songs she uses, from her debut everything, over 60 songs if I remember correctly.
To them, everything I told them was part of my wisdom as Chaos, but little do they know…. I actually stole everything from my former world!
Moving on, as I stare at this paper, everything began to stick together, this was a report of how much they've made,
"156,000,000,000 zens." I blurted out loud.
"S…sorry, I didn't think…"
"You've all done well…" I stood up and walked towards the wardrobe.
"Really? T-Thank you Lord Chaos." She replied to me excitedly.
I, on the other hand, was deeply in shock. How did they earn so much? A few years back, I tried earning a few with the knowledge I have on mangas, the work was too much, so I gave up after a week.
Sigh! These demons must be built differently to be working this hard.
I guess it's all good, as long as they are happy… yeah, their happiness is all that matters, nothing else.
"156 million zens as your entire net worth together is impressive, if you keep this up, you guys might soon be ranked amongst the richest people in all of Nelvana".
And if that happens, that makes me also rich since they serve me, and what is theirs is mine… I'm feeling impressed right now.
"Total?" Raphael tilted her head to the side perplexedly as soon as she uttered.
"Uhn?" I looked at her.
"This is the profit from mine only, I don't really know much about the others…" Raphael replied.
"156 million zen… came from your business?"
"Yes… I worked extra hard just for you Lord Chaos."
"I see… excuse me."
I muttered before I walked out of the room, without saying any other word.
I'm sure they are confused right now, but I can't look them in the face, knowing I tried what they are doing and failed… terribly.
W..what did I do wrong?.
