I Devour the Multiverses and Collect Worlds, Beauties, and Trophies

Leah and Sophie

Elaria entered our room with two cups of coffee in the morning and set them down on the nightstand for my sister and me.

I sensed the presence of two other people seated on the couches, looking awkward as they sat in silence. One was from the house I saw a day ago, where I felt her and sent Elaria to look since I needed someone for Zari. The other I had never seen before and looked at Elaria for an explanation.

Zari was awake and laying next to me, so she didn't have to worry about waking her. "Master, both have decent talents and good enough looks to satisfy Mrs. Lila, so I brought them both for you to interview."

She's not wrong, I got up to go meet them. Zari made complaining noises as I moved away and looked dissatisfied. I patted her head, put my pants on, then walked out of the room while drinking my cup and stretching my shirt over my head. Zari quickly followed behind me.

Both of the girls on the couch turned around to see the new person behind them as I finished pulling my shirt on. One was blond and the other had brown hair. They both blushed, and one the brown haired one covered her cheeks. I thought it was cute as they turned away.

"So, you both want to work for me?"

The hand of the blond shot up. "I do! My name is Leah Andriola, and I would like to."

The brown-haired girl timidly raised her hand. "Um Elaria said I could make a request, although I think anything can be done, it uh doesn't hurt to ask, right? Um, can I?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Umm so, my cousin—he, uh, I'd like—"

I tapped Elaria while she was trying to get it out and whispered, "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing, she's just too nervous."

I kept listening to the girl. "My name is uh, Sophie Gressman from the Gressman supermarket family. And um, after mom and dad died—uh, more like were murdered—my cousin and uncle, uh, kind of wants to use me or uh, murder me too. So, uh, I ran away. Um, and—"

The Gressman family is known all over the world. They are the owners of the largest chain of supermarkets across the globe. Well, they are the descendants of the founder and collectively still own a controlling amount of shares.

I held up my hand to stop her. I knew what she was getting at, and it was too painful to listen. "You want your cousin and uncle to pay."

"Y-Yes."

"And what is the price they should pay?"

"Um, maybe lose their shares in the company or, uh, go bankrupt?" She didn't look convinced at her own answer.

I walked around the couch and stood in front of her. She stared at her lap, a natural response. I placed my hand under her chin, lifting it up and bent down to look into her eyes from just inches away.

"If you want something, you should say it when I ask, even if you think I can't do it. That is not for you to decide. If I ask you something, answer truthfully. Don't come up with something else. Now, what do you actually want the price to be?"

She looked scared and embarrassed at the same time, but I saw her become resolved in what she wanted to say. "I-I think they should die since they murdered mom and dad!"

"And? How should they die?"

"I want to stab them from behind when they think they are safe."

I stood up and grabbed her hand, pulling her up. "Elaria, I don't think you explained much."

"No, sorry Master. I only said that a very powerful man is looking for a maid, and the compensation would be very generous."

"It's good, take the other one and discuss what she wants, then teach her. I'll give you two months."
