It had been some time since Arthur’s latest adventure, the one wherein he had been requested to take on the challenge of training to become a wedding officiate to reduce the burden on the priests and associated staff who were hard-pressed to cover all the marriages that had been held as of late. Luckily, Arthur had his photographic memory and 200+ IQ to rely upon and thus, he was able to complete said wedding officiate course with the help of a very helpful and exuberantly enthusiastic instructor clerk after which he passed the exam with flying colors as a result. Since then, he had gotten back to the daily grind of his everyday life part of which involved his ongoing psychic detective mage work, assisting his ultrawealthy and highly influential family and clan in the running of the multinational business conglomerate that they owned and ran due to his position as the sole heir to his family and clan as well as the next in line CEO of the associated multinational business conglomerate, as well as various other such tasks and obligations.

The other part involved furthering his prowess as a mage slowly but surely and he had been making great strides in this regard as of late. In this manner, time had marched on for him until the present day, wherein once again, he was relaxing in his exquisitely designed personal manor located in the heart of Crocus, the capital city of Fiore, which happened to be his current main base of operations. Naturally, as was his routine and that of his diverse group of 6 personal monstergirl maids whenever he was at home alone and relaxing, they were keeping him company and had arranged themselves at various points around him. For instance, 2 were seated on the armrests of the large, rather comfy, and ornately designed couch while 4 were sitting on the ground at his feet, and the remaining 2 were resting their heads on his lap currently.

Just then, his leisure time with his beloved maids was interrupted by the distinctive notification tone from his new iLac that he had set for any incoming job request notification and more recently, also for any other equally important notifications, that tone being the “Voices of War”, which was the exclusive and special DLC soundtrack given only to frequent players of one of his now most favorite iLac mobile game apps, namely “Oda Nobuna’s Ambition”.

Curses…foiled yet again…what is it this time? Oho, it is a dark-aligned client request this time, eh? How amusing…I suppose it was smart of me to invent an alias for myself and to use it regularly in my work life…let me see now, upstart politician…his opponent wants to defame him…the cause is…said opponent wanting to win the next election to become District Head…opponent is the client here, and does not want direct links back to him…now that will be difficult to execute effectively…I suppose it is also fortuitous that I am an independent guild mage, then…although I will have to be unduly careful not to let my true identity slip here for any reason…perhaps it will be a smart tactic to recruit someone else to accompany me on this job…

As he mused thus silently, his face contorted into that of a person resigned to endure another tedious as well as tricky assignment. This made his hollow coal-black eyes with the dark circles beneath them look far less alive than they did normally. Upon noticing that, “Jeanne”, the head of his personal care maid squad and one of the two maids who was currently resting her head on his lap currently, spoke up with concern evident in her voice from her position on his lap

“Master Edogawa? Is something the matter, sir? You look exasperated…”

Arthur’s reverie was thus interrupted by said maid and so, he broke his silence and then turned his attention to her, answering her

“Indeed, I have just gotten a notice alerting me that there is a major election to become next District Head…and the opponent of the favorite racehorse wants to defame said favorite to win while not having any of this upcoming trouble to be linked back to him and does not want this favorite to win to die either for this very reason…how troublesome this is...”

To that, “Jeanne” and the other maids looked at him bemusedly and replied, again in perfect chorus as always

“Poor Master Edogawa…no rest for the weary and wounded walking, eh? Very well then, we shall do the needful here in your absence, so please go forth and remedy this shortage as you have been requested to do in that notice.”

With that, they fell silent and then Arthur nodded after which he gently disengaged himself from them and after instructing them to raise the manor’s security level to “Red”, he set off with all due haste to his bedchambers, got ready with all his usual attire elements and gear equipped to his person, and then set off to the local bulletin board in his home base, aka Crocus. Once there, he posted this job flyer he had received a notification about along with a request for assistance in the completion of said job. Then, he headed back to his manor in the outskirts of Crocus and awaited a response. Little did he know then that he would meet someone who could very well pass for being a carbon copy of one of his most favorite female characters in a certain ultra-famous and long-running LacrimaTek videogame series.
