Hana''s POV
While I wait for my cute master to wake up from slumber, an annoying beast appears and invades my building.
-Tcchhh! (Hana)
At the same, 21 appears at the door in front of my room and informs me.
-Head maid, that girl has arrived in front of our door. She wanted to meet you, head maid. (21)
-I will arrive shortly. (Hana)
I arrive at the front door to see the hateful pervert beast.
-Yo! (Industria)
I sneer at her.
-Hey, don''t look at me like that! I should be the one angry here since you messed with my date yesterday. (Industria)
The beast I mentioned was the goddess called Industria.
-That''s the right thing to do! If I were late, you would totally put your hand on Farah. (Hana)
The pervert tries to look away and avoids my eyes.
-I don''t know what you are talking about! (Industria)
-... (Hana)
I smile and ask her.
-You are not in the beast form like yesterday? (Hana)
-Ehem, I only show it to my wife and close people. I don''t want to show it to others. (Industria)
The girl tilts her head and asks me.
-Why do you ask about that? (Industria)
I smirk and reply to her.
-I think that form fits you most. (Hana)
-Eh? (Industria)
-Since only a beast like you would be in heat all over the year. (Hana)
-Yooouuu! (Industria)
Industria''s face turns red because of anger.
-Hah! I don''t have time for a joke. (Industria)
She looks at me with serious eyes.
-I want to hear the answer to the invitation. (Industria)
-... (Hana)
I turn back at her and try to go back inside to house.
-I never think your invitation is trustworthy at all. (Hana)
-Why? (Industria)
-How can a group appear out of nowhere and claim that they want to protect the master? I think it is really absurd. (Hana)
-... (Industria)
-It''s really more like a convenient reason that you make up to trick me into accepting that invitation. (Hana)
I answer her with a firm voice.
-My power is enough to protect my cute master. I don''t need additional help come from you guys. (Hana)
She sighs and says to me in a tired voice.
-Hana, I don''t think you can protect Farah by yourself. (Industria)
I become angry and turn to that girl. The nanomachines come out of my body and turn into many guns. I order them to point at Industria.
-Are you suspecting my power? (Hana)
-It''s not that! (Industria)
Mists come out of her body and wrap around all the guns.
-You should know we are at the bottom of the power ladder, Hana. There are uncountable entities out there stronger than us. (Industria)
Industria walks toward me.
-You can''t protect Farah with just only your power. (Industria)
-I can. (Hana)
-Don''t be stubborn, Hana. (Industria)
Industria points at me.
-This is not just your fight, but our fight. I also want to protect Farah from all the incoming danger. (Industria)
-I... (Hana)
Industria puts her hand in the pocket and takes out a black envelope.
-I will let you see a fragment of the apex. (Industria)
The moment she opened the envelope, a terrible aura came out. The aura takes a form of a shadow and approaches me.
-What...? (Hana)
The things that Industria released made every nanomachines in my body scream. They want me to run away from this place as soon as possible and never come back.
-... (Hana)
Am I scared?
-No, I can''t be scared. (Hana)
I clasp my hands and make them bleed. How could I run away from this place?
-I will destroy it! (Hana)
I make my nanomachines inside my body...No; I force them to work at maximum capacity.
-Huh! (Hana)
I will never run away from here because my cute master is sleeping right behind me.
>Finished analyzing. Activated counterattack. (Hana)
White energy comes out of my body and destroys that dark aura. I have wasted 90% of my power to create an energy counter the aura.
-Ughh. (Hana)
To destroy of aura that comes from that person, I have wasted this much energy. I have no choice to but accept the truth.
-I am still weak. (Hana)
-You know your weakness now. (Industria)
I glare at the girl in front of me.
-Don''t be like that! I just point out the truth. And I want to let you know there are many entities stronger than that aim at Farah. (Industria)
-...Fine. I will accept the invitation on one condition. (Hana)
-I can only fulfil it if it''s not too unreasonable. (Industria)
-I want to meet the one that sent the invitation. (Hana)
Industria smiles and replies.
-Oh, that? I can fulfil it right away! That one has expected you to come sooner or later. (Industria)
Industria creates a mist gate and invites me to come along with her.
-She is beyond this gate. (Industria)
-Okay. You are also going with me, 21. (Hana)
21 appears from behind the door and walks to my side.
-I will follow your order, head maid. (21)
I stare at the mist gate and walk inside with 21.
