Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Complex?

─Avalae City, West District

"Haah... " A woman sighed in her office.

She was a beautiful woman. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, and her piercing golden eyes seemed to hold a thousand untold stories. She wore a matching uniform that added to her allure, making her both beautiful and intimidating.

But this woman was not a model or a celebrity; she was a high-ranking member of an elite force, currently working as a detective. She was known to be one of the best detectives in the city, and was considered a rising star within her department.

"There's been a lot of strange things happening lately..." She muttered.

Indeed, there has been a series of strange phenomenon being reported lately, ranging from sudden explosions to sightings of demons and other unexplainable phenomena.

Although none of these rumors resulted in deaths, they did cause quite a stir among the citizens. They became so big in fact that several other media outlets have picked up on them, creating even more uproar.

The woman was still seating on her chair. Her office was dark, only lit by the glow of her computer screen as she engaged in a video game. Her expression was one of deep concentration, with a slight frown creasing her forehead.

"Wha- How?! They must be cheating!" She exclaimed when she got instantly killed by an enemy player....

"Master, please command me. I wish to be useful to you" She said as she bowed deeply.

"Umm...." I hesitated. Seriously, what should I make her do?

I didn't expect this kind of situation to happen in the first place! I felt the urge to laugh at myself. Did I really think I could control a beautiful woman like this? Well, of course I could!

"Well... I guess we'll start simple." I said, exerting my authority.

"Of course master. Your will is my command." She replied.

"Firstly of all, I will call you Rhea from now on." Good... I thought that up on the spot!

"Yes Master. My name is Rhea." She answered obediently. "I shall do my utmost to serve you as your servant with absolute perfection" She bowed deeply again.

S-She seemed very determined...

"Good girl." I patted her again on the head affectionately.

She quivered at my touch. There was a hint of pleasure and happiness emanating from her. The pleasure she was experiencing surprised me. I never expected a woman to feel this way just from being patted on the head...

"Master, I beg your forgiveness for asking, but are you not ashamed of touching my filthy body?" She asked humbly.

"Huh? Why would I think that? You're not filthy. You belong to me, so you're essentially my possession. Don't forget that," I retorted.

"Thank you Master. I shall strive to be worthy of your praise-"

"Or you doesn't want me to touch you?" I asked curiously, wondering if my actions was making her uncomfortable.

"No master, not at all! Please forgive my impudence!" She instantly put her head on the ground in submission "It's just that I am aware of my filthiness master and I am also mindful that you might not be pleased with me." She said apologetically.

Ughh... This is getting troublesome. Why is she so concerned of me not liking her? Does she have some sort of complex or something?
