Sometimes, we experience situations where our life goes up and down. It could be successful people who suddenly experience bankruptcy and bankrupt people who suddenly experience success.
Well, in short, we never know what will happen to our lives in the future. The only thing we can do is just keep fighting in the present.
Today, the weather looks very sunny. But, I don't intend to confirm it, because it's too dazzling if I go all out to confirm it. I wanted to stay in my room all day and stay out of the sun as much as possible.
This is how the rich spend their time.
"Riku-san, are you in there?"
While I was enjoying myself, someone suddenly knocked on my bedroom door, from the sound, it sounded like Elvy. She is a beautiful Elven girl and one of the biggest candidates to become my harem.
It's just that, different from the usual Elf girls, Elvy has cells from a dragon in her body and she can turn her body into a dragon whenever she wants. But, even so, her beauty never changed, in fact she became even more beautiful than before.
However, that was also a problem for me, because Elvy was too beautiful and cute. Many strange people wanted to approach her, I couldn't let my guard down one bit.
After all, I have to protect her from that bunch of weirdos.
"Come in, I'm inside."
"Excuse me."
As soon as Elvy opened the door and entered my room, I also got up from my bed and sat on the edge of the bed while waiting for her to enter.
"Good morning, Elvy-chan," I greeted.
But-
'Thump!'
She immediately slammed the door and closed it again.
"Ri-Riku-san, please put something on first! Y-You're still naked!" Elvy screamed from behind the door in panic.
I pay attention to my body at this time.
"Oh."
I just realized that right now I'm not wearing any clothes, and not only that, maybe because I was thinking about Elvy. My little brother also woke up.
Seeing that, I hastily covered her with the blanket and walked away to get my clothes.
It's a peaceful morning as usual.
No, I think it's already noon.
***************
After I put on my clothes, Elvy and I went down the stairs to go to the dining room on the first floor. There, I saw Alicia who had been waiting for us while lying on the couch that was close to the fireplace.
"Good morning." I greet her.
"You're too late! It's not morning anymore, it's noon! How long are you going to keep me waiting, you slacker?!"
"Aren't you the same, don't think yourself much better than me. You and I are basically the same."
"How dare you equate a tramp like you with a goddess like me. Unlike you, I woke up early today, so don't compare me to you. Do you want me to impose divine punishment on you? I will make you always run out of tissues when you go to the toilet."
What kind of divine punishment is that?
"You wake up early because you haven't even gotten off of that couch until last night, you homeless goddess. Stop making Elvy and me to do all the house chores, you have to work too. Show some attitude from your former goddess."
"C-Calm down, you two. I'm fine with this, after all I do too since I really like cooking and cleaning, so you don't have to think about it, Alicia-san."
When the goddess intended to pounce on me, Elvy immediately stopped her. After hearing the words of that innocent girl, Alicia's heart felt a little guilty.
She walked towards me with a gloomy look.
"Hey, RIku, can you give me a bit of easy work. Somehow I feel like I've done something bad for letting a child do my thing." She begged.
It seemed that she was afraid that hers pride as an adult would be tarnished.
Truly a troublesome woman.
Well, I guess I'll ask her to help me with the laundry later.
She had [Purify] magic that could remove and purify any dirty stains, so she could at least be useful as an automatic washing machine.
***************
Right now, we are having lunch in the dining room.
Today is Elvy's part to cook. She made us a dish of deep-fried three-headed fish and soup of the red demon rabbit, which has extremely agile speed. These are all very expensive cooking ingredients.
We enjoy it all with pleasure.
To be honest, at first I was a bit hesitant to eat such a strange ingredient, but after I tasted it, it was much tastier than I expected, so I greedily ate it.
By the way, speaking of expensive cooking ingredients, you might be wondering, where did we get the money to buy them.
Just to let you know, this isn't the proceeds from selling my potions. But this is money from the results of Elvy who managed to kill Rodan.
Previously, when we were trying to register as adventurers. When Elvy showed the contents of her status, it also listed the hunting results of all the monsters she had defeated so far. So it made everyone very surprised when they found out that Elvy had defeated the Demonic Dragon, Rodan.
It was such an uproar that we had to deal directly with the guild master. At that time, we talked about the dragon's bounty, and unexpectedly, it had such a high bounty that Alicia and I couldn't stop shaking.
I could hardly believe it when he gave me all the piles of money. It's like when you suddenly win the lottery with a big prize.
Of course, after getting all that money, we used it directly to buy a luxurious mansion in the suburbs and shopped to our heart's content. Now I can buy whatever I want without fear that our money will run out.
Well, even if it runs out, we can still sell my potions, so there's nothing to worry about. Now we are really successful. Not only do we have a lot of money, we are even being talked about by the whole town now for having killed a dragon.
Maybe I should start learning how to make good autographs, because maybe soon I'll have a fan club of pretty girls.
"It seems that today Riku-san is in a very good mood, what is he thinking?"
"Don't look at Elvy or your eyes will be stained with that trash. I'm sure right now he's just thinking about something lewd, after all perverts would die if they didn't have lust."
"I-I think that's too evil, Alicia-san. Riku-san must also have something good besides that!"
"Fufu, you heard that, Riku. Stop making stupid faces, I'm sure you heard that too, right?"
"Noisy, shut up! That is none of your business!"
The goddess laughed mockingly at me and that pissed me off even more. Should I drink all the sake she keeps under hers bed?
"A-Alicia-san, please don't make fun of Riku-san so much. Despite his perverted nature, Riku-san is a good person."
"Elvy-chan, I know you intend to support me, but that doesn't make me happy at all you know. Why do you also think that I'm a pervert? No matter where you look, I'm a normal teenage boy. Look at my innocent face."
"Umm…"
"Okay, I understand! Don't say anything else! Let's end this conversation, otherwise I'll really cry and shut myself up for a few days!"
Seeing Elvy who doubted me so much when she saw my innocent face made my heart feel threatened, so I hastily stopped her.
Geez, why are you all calling me a pervert?
I'm just a normal and healthy teenage boy.
They really are so cruel.

"Ahh! Ahn! Ahh!"
Inside a dark room, there was the sound of a sigh and a loud slap at the same time.
"Please! Please spare me, master!" The girl begged, in a low, agonized voice. The look in hers eyes seemed to describe all the pain she had been experiencing.
However, the fat noble didn't care about it at all, instead he looked very happy when the girl he was currently raping screamed loudly begging for forgiveness.
"Ahahahaha!!" He chuckled and continued to hit the girl with his whip. "Cry! Scream! Make a noise like a tortured pig! Give me much better enjoyment and entertainment! Because the only meaning you Elves can live here is to be my pets!" He is screaming.
A vicious streak could be seen as the candle flames in the place were burning. He brutally continued to torment the Elven girl he was currently raping.
"Ah! Ah! Please! Please forgive me! Aahn! Ah!" The girl was crying, she screamed and kept screaming. However, none of hers screams paid any heed.
The nobleman only made a vulgar face that seemed to be enjoying all the torture he had inflicted on the Elf girl. But, while he was enjoying himself, suddenly there was a knock on his bedroom door. That displeased him and he glared at the door.
"Ophen-sama, there is something I want to tell you."
"Go, don't you know that I'm busy right now?"
"But, I think it will make you happy if you know about it."
"Tsk, alright, I understand. So, what do you want to tell me? If it wasn't something important, I would definitely behead you."
Hearing him maid being so stubborn, Ophen was forced to stop him activities and hear what he had to say. Meanwhile, the Elf girl who was on him bed fainted with convulsions from the extreme torture.
It could be seen from hers whole body that was filled with disgusting scars and slimy white liquid. She looked extremely disheveled, tears in hers eyes as she made an expression like a person who had lost all hope in life.
Every day she always experienced the worst of the worst treatment. However, this wasn't the first time Ophen had done the same to an Elf girl like her. All of that can be seen from the many iron cages in the room, where some of the cages are seen by several Elf girls who can only tremble in fear when they witness their friends being tortured.
"What are you waiting for, quickly tell me what you have to say?" Ophen asked as the old man's servant entered the room.
He bowed his head to Ophen and said. "Do you still remember about the Elf you met at the city gate earlier? Actually, we already know where Elf is currently," he said.
Ophen's eyes widened in shock. "Are you... serious?" His body started shaking.
"Well, we got this information because afterwards they went to the adventurers' guild to— Umm, Ophen-sama? Are you okay?"
As the old man answered Ophen's question, he stopped, because he saw the man who suddenly started squirming while hugging the Elf who was on the bed.
His face looks very excited.
"Aaah~ finally! Finally we will meet again~!" He looked like he was losing his mind as he kissed and licked the Elf he was currently hugging. However, his voice sounded far away as if he was imagining the girl he adored who wasn't here.
He continued to tremble with joy as he tightly hugged the Elf girl.
"I will definitely have you! This is the first time I feel so crazy like this! Right, it was all your fault! This is the first time I've seen an Elf as beautiful as you! Therefore, I'm sure! I will definitely get you! I will definitely make you mine alone! That innocent and graceful face! Aaah~ It would be really amazing if I could paint it with my own hands! I'll make a mess of you as my pet forever!"
He kept screaming and screaming, with a burning breath.
So, without him realizing it, the Elf girl he had been hugging with all his might had died from suffocation.
