138 I Really Am a Good Person. Why Won'st You Trust This Handsome Philanthropist?

What do you mean we're no good for the future generation? Should we just end humanity because of a few people that give us a bad reputation...that isn't from me.

But resorting to crime…uhhh, it's not prostitution, I swear, I promise… don't arrest me?

I was technically being truthful since there were a bunch of loopholes in the legal system that allowed me to escape prison and earn money, so I'm not lying?

The damage was already done to my reputation in this area, leaving me with nothing to defend myself.

It was essentially impossible to save myself with the mess caused by this girl which was why…

...Ruri, please hurry up and come out.

"Ummm, why don't we discuss this over some tea."

My savior.

…

"So you're telling me, he's your long lost dad's uncle's child's best friend's sister's manager's twin's grandaughter's friend."

"Yep"

"And he somehow got lost because he is directionally challenged and managed to wander behind your house."

"Yep"

"And he's definitely not a creepy stalker, who wants our address and blackmail us while not at all a sex fiend."

"...Yep"

"WHY DID YOU HESITATE!"

I couldn't help inserting my own piece but the girl who paid the taxi driver had tied me up with rope, I presume it was from Ruri since she would probably be the only one in the house to own some kinky items.

Ruri couldn't do much but try and lie through her teeth as she realized that just saying we're 'friends' wouldn't be as effective.

The girl placed some random cloth she found by the counter to shut my mouth while Jessica shot me another disgusted look.

If I am to be wronged, I better be wronged for a good reason and not because of some random girls that jump to rushed conclusions.

We were eventually running out of options and it forced Ruri to tell some half truths.

A piece of evidence that was extremely useful was the time that she used her phone to take a picture of us when we were at the amusement park.

Showing it off, the girl and Jessica saw that Ruri and the guy next to her was indeed me.

Some exceptions would be that I didn't have the cat ears and my dishevelled clothing.

Jessica flicked through the photo and me and finally sighed at the story Ruri finally made up.

"He said that he didn't want anyone to know about his hobby. I'm one of the only people that knows he likes cosplay and he wanted to enjoy it with me."

Such a sorrowful reaction was stunning for Ruri compared to her normal behavior while Jessica took a deep breath.

The girl was slightly stunned that I was just a person interested in dressing up but Jessica made a comment I wished she would never have had brought up: "You know, he surprisingly looks feminine. Has he tried crossdressing?"

A light bulb seemed to have popped up above Ruri's head and smiled at the comment: "No, not yet."

...not yet?

...NOT YET!!!

That smile didn't seem pleasant as I once thought, I don't want to even think of the next time she hires me that, my only hopes is that she doesn't bring this up and miraculously forgets about this incident.

…

In the end, we were able to clarify that I am innocent and will always be innocent.

Jessica apologized while the obstinate girl who tied me up also passed her regrets with hesitation.

Ruri saw that the mood was going sour from the girl who couldn't even introduce herself and Jessica who became slightly guilty for accusing me: "Don't worry about them. You already know Jessica and the other girl is Erica, I'm sure you'll get to know each other very well."

'Know each other very well' hehe, since they came from a trip, they are most likely rich, meaning I should see if they are-

"Don't even think about it."

Aiii~ it was a good attempt at the very least.

Ruri wanted to avoid making the situation and brought the two upstairs. They would then spend their time unpacking their luggage.

That sounded unfortunate since they would feel exhausted from the trip but I wouldn't stop her.

Now, what to do?

Her bedsheet from last night probably reeks from all the fluid that was spewed all over it, I should probably put that in the wash and open the windows, so that the smell doesn't grab the attention of Jessica and Erica.

Placing it into a washing machine and adding some detergent powder, I was done.

My clothes were fine but I've heard of some people who place sanitary above anything else. They would wash their clothes once a night and bring bottles of spray in the face of unknown territory.

That was fine but then I heard outright stupid from one of my customers. She apparently had a highschool friend who owned several uniforms to be worn on different days.

Just imagine the overall cost and waste of funds on the washing machine…

It was a such a waste but life must continue.

My best option to appease to the two girls as they may create some problems to Ruri by questioning her.

They were exhausted after a trip and were forced to immediately unpack their items, not even able to sleep after a trip sounded painful.

This can at least suggest one thing!

They're hungry!

As the legendary saying always went - to get to a woman's heart, one must first conquer their stomach!

Depending on how one translates or interprets that, then one can say I have conquered Ruri's stomach many times ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

It was a pretty awkward time to cook a meal as it wasn't early enough to cook a lenient meal while it wasn't late enough to cook a heavy meal.

I was currently cooking egg benedicts, a meal consisting of english muffin, ham, poached egg and a creamy hollandaise sauce.

Flavors filled with savory delight that bordered between the two times, brunch.

Although brunch was supposedly created for giving energy for hunting, it was now being used to side track two girls.
