I Didn't Choose the Gangsta System, the Gangsta System Chose Me

While Ness and Jack were preoccupied with whatever they were doing, Virena looked at Joren with an interrogative gaze.

She has a 'let's talk later' face which Joren understood.

But for now, she was more curious at his time at the UnderWorld and also, the woman that he brought.

How did his strength suddenly spike up? Why is this woman so strong? How come he's not dead?

All these questions made Virena temporarily forget about how Joren spanked the Principal in front of the others.

Entering the underwater office, Ness finally noticed Kidrith and immediately went behind Joren. This reminded Joren of when Ness was shy towards him too only to show her other faces.

Ness may seem innocent but she's pretty cold. She's still the thousand years old Loch Ness. But comparing her to Kidrith, she may really be just a child. Furthermore, she's spoiled and selfish so that makes her a child to Joren.

"Joren, who is she?"

Ness whispered while Joren glanced at Kidrith who was standing beside him and wondered if he should say it or not. He personally has no problem with it but is their relationship even acceptable in the first place?

Kidirith is Hades' maid in the first place. So, this meant that Joren just stole something from Hades. Would that spell trouble?

"My name's Kidrith, a Half-Fury and Joren's servant."

Kidrith coldly introduced herself. Hearing this, Joren just shrugged his shoulders.

So what if it would spell trouble? He would rather proudly introduce Kidrith rather than not at all just because he feared that trouble would come.

"What!?"

Ness was taken aback.

"Servant?"

Jack raised an eyebrow as he didn't hear this last the first time they met.

Meanwhile, Virena was brewing tea for everyone except Monstein. Joren told this little monster to kneel in the corner so he did without question.

"A Half-Fury? I feel like I've heard that somewhere…"

Ness muttered since she was familiar with this word. It shouldn't be a Fury since Joren would basically have a demigod as his servant if that's true. So then, what's a Half-Fury?

The thought of Kidrith who claims to be Joren's servant being a demigod is just too stupid to even mention. Joren has gone into Hades, yes, but that's not enough evidence.

'I guess the Furies are not that known?' Kidrith felt a little down.

She initially thought that these lower beings would bow before her but that was not the case at all. They haven't even heard of a Fury from what she can see.

At the same time, she became a servant of a human so Kidrith doesn't really care now.

"A Half-Fury… does that have anything to do with the Furies of the UnderWorld?"

Virena came in and asked. She has a different perspective since she firsthand experienced Kidrith's strength earlier.

"Oh, you know of the Furies?"

Kidrith found relief since at least the ladies back at the palace had their names spread.

"Don't so silly, Virena." Ness laughed, "There's no way she would be related to those Furies."

"No, I am related to the Furies."

"You're right, Principal…" Virena smiled at her before processing what Kidrith just answered, "Excuse me, what?"

Even Ness and Jack have the same reaction as Virena. Monstein looked as well since everyone was doing it.

"Are there different kinds of Furies?" Joren scratched his head and looked at Kidrith.

"I don't think so. The Ladies were so feared back then that your ancestors would call them Eumenides so other beings bearing the same name would have no sense at all."

"Then, what are you all being surprised about?" Joren was genuinely curious.

'How can this guy be so amazing and be so dumb at the same time?'

Virena, Ness, and Jack all thought the same.

"Wait, to clarify, are you saying that this woman here is also born from the blood of the Titan, Uranus?" Virena pointed her finger as it slightly tremble.

"Blood…?" Joren didn't know or just forgot about this as he looked at Kidrith for answers to which she nodded.

"Yes, we are born from the blood of Uranus. However, unlike the three Ladies, we are impure that is mixed with the soil from which humans are made, making us inferior or as we call it, Half-Furies."

"Eh? I thought Nyx is your mother or something?"

"Yes, a foster mother. But Nyx doesn't treat us, Half-Furies, as ones. She only favors the three Ladies."

While Joren and Kidrith were having their own little chat, eyes were about to pop out in the background.

"What's… what's with you all?"

Joren asked once he finally realized their expressions.

"I-is a Half-Fury actually your servant servant or a fake servant?"

Jack asked like a retard but with his mind being thrown or blown away, he couldn't think straight.

"What even is a fake servant?" Joren felt like laughing while it was Kidrith who answered-

"I'm more of a servant. He holds my life and free will."

"So, like a slave!?" Ness suddenly raised her voice. While Virena and Jack suddenly felt pressure when they realized that a demigod is standing in the same room as them.

"Like a property." Joren corrected.

"You're fine with that!?" Ness shouted at Kidrith.

"As long as it's Joren."

"How!?" Ness then pulled Joren away from her as if she was going to snatch him.

"What's wrong, Ness?"

Joren asked. Sure, it's shocking that he has a servant but doesn't Ness have one from the start too?

"I-I don't think you're getting the point here, Joren…" Virena frustratingly said.

Meanwhile, Jack snapped out of it and began to doubt what Kidrith was saying. He has always felt that Joren is not the person to lie, but, how about this woman?

"Joren… are you sure she's not fooling you?"

He suddenly presented.

"... right." Virena nodded and agreed while Ness suspiciously looked at Kidrith. She had already thought of this from the start and that's why her cautiousness from Kidrith increased.

After all, who would give their own life to someone? Ness doesn't think that Joren has the power to make a Half-Fury submit.

Either she's lying that she's Half-Fury or that Joren holds her life and free will, or both are lies.

'Ah… this is the trouble that I must've felt…' Joren thought.

He just doesn't see Kidrith as someone who's a demigod. After all, he hasn't seen her power or anything. Unfortunately, before Kidrith went to Joren's side, most of her strength was stripped away from her. She would need weeks or months to recover it.

In comparison, Nebarius is only slightly stronger than her while she's above Cerberus.

Joren only saw Kidrith as that cute maid he now owns. Also because she's been deadweight ever since, that thought persists within him.

"Joren, where did you even meet her in the first place?"

Jack then asked with a serious expression, treating Kidrith as an anomaly in that room.

"We met in the Palace." Joren sighed as he answered.

It seemed like he will have to go through some hassle. He doesn't really care if Kidrith is not actually a Half-Fury as she says so. Although he would find out she lied, there's nothing more to it than that.

So what? Would she stop being cute? Furthermore, Joren doesn't plan to put Kidrith in battle if she ever were to be strong. What if she got hurt?

"Palace? Do you mean the Hades Palace?" Virena has even sat down to hear this one.

"I went there to get my soul back? How would I return to a human if didn't go there?"

Joren chuckled, thinking that Virena was asking some stupid questions.

"Y-you're right…" Virena observed again and felt no ghoulish aura from Joren. He seemed fresh and alive. So many things have occurred that she failed to notice this.

'Wait, does that mean I can't order him anymore?'

To test this idea, she suddenly said with her eyes glowing bright red.

"Joren, come here."

"..."

Joren looked at her strangely. Thinking that she have something to whisper to him, he stood up and went to her.

"What?"

But it's strange, if that was the case, Virena wouldn't awkwardly do nothing about calling him there.

'No, I can still order him!'

Joren scratched his head as he failed to comprehend what was going through Virena's head.

"If there's nothing then…"

He was about to turn around and return to his sweet spot where Ness nestling herself to him while Kidrith was standing on the side when-

"Wait!"

Virena suddenly said, making Joren stop.

"Seriously, what is it?"

'It's true!'

Virena didn't think that everyone would do the same in that situation.

Jack has caught onto this too, remembering that Joren is Virena's slave. Taking this chance, he whispered something to her to which she agreed.

"Joren, to prove that she's really a Half-Fury, drink her blood."

"I don't think that's necessary…"

"Do it." Virena's eyes then glowed but Joren just crossed his arms.

"No"

"..."

'Why isn't it working now!!??' she internally panicked.

"Do it, Joren."

"Tell me a valid reason first."

"Because I'm your master."

"... didn't I tell you that I've returned to being human?" Joren's eyelids dropped towards Virena.

'!!?'
