Ranking System

Working in my house, I allowed these people to live in my house. In the geass they signed, they would be paid and allowed to live here as long as they worked.

I added additional rules to stuff like stealing, betraying, and killing. Who knows, they might be assassins or people that worked for others that are using their role as my servant as a cover.

Today they would be allowed to explore the house and communicate with one another. This way, the atmosphere around them wouldn't be too awkward.

Now that they had gone to their rooms, Nene and I returned to the underground training room. The training drugs or potions were now here, and the results I would get will be much higher.

The drugs that I bought are five times more effective on regular training. It lasts about two hours and costs five million dollars per bottle.

"Nene, when will I be doing something else?"

I was curious, other than running around for an hour straight, what else might I be doing?

"In a month, I will be teaching you self-defense ~!"

"A month..."

That was still a long way away. I wondered if I could make it that far without complaining. Maybe some motivational words could help.

"Is there a way for you to motivate me?"

"Mhmm..."

Nene looked up and began to think. When an idea popped into her head, she grinned happily. Maybe, I shouldn't have said anything.

"Master~, as my potential mate~. I can't let you be weak in bed~. So train hard~!"

Weak in bed... That was the last thing any male wanted to hear. But for her to whisper in my ears surprised me a bit.

Drinking a bottle worth of training medicine, I started my daily training.

"Nene... I can't move."

I had overdone it this time. Since my potion lasted two hours, I had to double my training for a maximum value. Even with the recovery potion, I still felt sore.

My body was sweating like crazy. I had lost control of my body. Nene, supervising me, had dumped a bucket of water on me.

With how much sweat I was covered, no one wanted to touch me. Feeling the cold water touch me, I felt a little refreshed.

"Master~! Good job~!"

I can't believe how my overall ranking improved by one rank. I'm now ranked 922, which was one up my previous rank.

"Oh~! To think your rank had improved this early~!"

​ Nene was astounded by the increase that I made. Nene, who was at 893, was someone close to me. If I could keep my momentum up, I would pass her in no time.

"Of course, I would. I'm at the age where I should improve the most."

"Nene, I'm going to beat you sooner or later."

"Is that so~? Then that's good~. If you do, I'll reward you~."

Reward... The way she words it sounds sexual. But maybe, it was an actual reward. You never know what comes out of her mouth.

After that small session, Nene took me to the bath, and dinner came around. I was having dinner with everyone in the house. It was a good way for me to see who they truly were.

With Nene acting as my limb, she would be feeding me. Yes, this interaction was weird in the eyes of these people, but what could I do with my sore body?

"Young Master, sometimes overtraining could worsen your condition."

Aled, the old man, had already started to call me master. But as expected from him, he could tell that I was training by looking at my condition at first glance.

"Don't worry~! Master's regeneration potion will fix the problem~!"

Before I could talk, Nene butted in and did the explaining. I also thought two hours was excessive, but with the potion's effects, I found it a waste to stop early.

"How do you all find your living space?"

Changing the topic, I asked how they found living in the mansion. Their opinion could easily change after all. They just moved in today.

"Although the place is a bit too big, my husband and I are thankful for your hospitality."

Edna, Aled's wife, spoke in a sweet and gentle tone. Someone a bit over-friendly to someone who she had just met. I quite like it.

"I appreciate you letting me stay."

Ellena, who was a bit nervous, thanked me wholeheartedly. I had read from the report that she was married, but for her to be a bit relieved of being here made it seem like there was something wrong happening to her.

Was her husband abusing her in some way? Even if Ellena wanted to go on a diet, she shouldn't be this thin.

"Master Charles, I quite like this place. I thank you for letting me stay in a place like this."

Rose, who answered next, was well-spoken. While Rose couldn't harm me from the geass, her intention of working for me was still unknown. Even if my rank was high, there was no need to suck up to me with her looks.

"Thank you for accepting me."

Bella bowed her head and looked at me nervously. She is freaking out more than she needs to. It might be a while for her to get used to me, but I didn't mind as long as it didn't hinder her from working.

Over dinner time, I talked to everyone about various things. Edna was the one who spoke the most. She was willing to speak, and so we did.

Rose was the second person who spoke the most. Even so, she was still suspicious in my eyes. I hope she won't cause trouble for anyone here.

Aled was next, and he had retired from his life as a fighter. Even if he could live without working, he still applied to be my gardener as a hobby.

Bella and Ellena had barely spoken, but I could sense that they weren't people I should be wary of.

Ellena didn't talk much about herself, so she probably didn't want to say anything about her past.

Finally, Bella was someone fidgety. She liked to hear what the other person had to say. Her ranking was pretty low. Maybe her low self-confidence was because of it.

And with that, dinner was over, and I wanted to rest. Nene took me to my bed and crawled in with me. She has been doing this every day since we first bathed together.

Without thinking about it more, I went to sleep.
