"So, Mr. von Koniz. What form will your challenge take? Some spirited jousting, perhaps?"
Gustav started to look very serious and he say,
"We will fight on mounted combat like the knights in Middle Age. We will fight until one of give up or fall off our mount."
"By the way... How do you meet Yukata?" You asked him as you want to figure out how Yukata made him to challenge you.
"The young japanese? We happen to meet in the party where Queen Natasha held the party." Gustav said.
Suddenly Sasha's face started to look very dark and unpleased when mention the name of Natasha.
"He told me that you are very strong and it caught my attention. As a noble warrior, I had to fight you." Gustav said as he played with his beard.

"Queen Natasha? May I ask how you came to know her?"
"Actually I happen got invitation from her and I know very little about her. Only thing I know that her parents died in aciddent and she got a sister who mysteriously vanish." Gustav said.
Sasha clinched her fists so hard that her hands start to bleed.
"It is something wrong fräulein?" Gustav asked Sasha.
"Excuse me... I need to take a breath..." Sasha said as she left the dinner room while you looking at her with concerned look.


What will you do?
A: Go after Sasha.
B: Keep on talking with Gustav.
C: Something else.

>>22935280

C (slight modification of A): "Would you please excuse me for a few minutes, Gustav? I'll be right back." Sasha needs some soothing but I don't want to be rude to our host, so the polite route is the way to go. If Gustav agrees, then we can go after Sasha and calm her down. I'm not sure exactly how much Hito himself knows about Sasha's background but we do know something upset her.

>>22935405
Second. We must remain polite.

"Would you please excuse me for a few minutes, Gustav? I'll be right back." You told as he give you approved nod.
You start following after Sasha until you find her in the balcony.

She stared at the open view while she tightly gripped on the baluster. You don't why she acting like that but you suspecting that mention of Queen Natasha making her uptight.


How will you approach her?

>>22935564
Come up beside Sasha on the balcony.
"Would you like to talk about it, Sasha? I can tell that it's not a subject you like to remember."

"Would you like to talk about it, Sasha? I can tell that it's not a subject you like to remember."
Sasha just keep on stared at the view until she spoke, "I don't want to talk about it because it bring me to many painful memory..."


What will you do?
A: Keep on asking about her past.
B: Just leave her alone.
C: Do something funny.
D: Something else.

>>22935806
D: Ask about the Queen.
"I'll always be available to talk, if you want. But considering that I might get mixed up with this Queen if Yutaka is working with her, I do need to know what you can tell me about her."

>>22935806

D: Gently pull her into a hug. "If you're not ready to talk about it now, Sasha, I understand and won't push. Just tell me when you are, okay? I can see it hurts, but there's an old saying; it goes 'a burden shared is a burden halved'."

After the hug, kiss her on the cheek and give her a smile. "I probably need to get back to our host. Come back when you're feeling calmer, okay Sasha?"

You are thinking about asking her about the connection between Queen and Yukata but then you retract the idea because you have the feeling it will hurt her feeling if you mention about her.

You gently pull her into a hug. "If you're not ready to talk about it now, Sasha, I understand and won't push. Just tell me when you are, okay? I can see it hurts, but there's an old saying; it goes 'a burden shared is a burden halved'."
Then afterward, you kissed on her cheek and giving her a smile. "I probably need to get back to our host. Come back when you're feeling calmer, okay Sasha?"
Sasha nod at you while she smiled a little.

You walking back to the dinner hall and you see a very familiar chef who are placed the foods on the table. He look exactly like... Rudolf Verne!

Gustav turned to you with the smile, "Perfect timing! My chef had already cooking our dinner! Let us feasting on the German foods!"


What will you do?

>>22936176

"Dinner looks great. Your chef looks familiar, Gustav; I think I've met him before. Is his name Rudolf Verne, by any chance?"

"Actually his name is Helger Verne." Gustav answered.
"Oh! you must mean my twin brother Rudolf who are currently working for Lady Crownwell." Helger the chef said.

After you and Gustav had finish with the dinner, he leading you and other to the other room that are filled with music instruments, pictures of himself along with other famous song artist like Freddy Mercury, Tom Jones, Lulu...
"This is my hobby room! Every day, I come here and singing my songs!" Gustav said proudly as he showing you his hobby room.
"By the way... Do you want to see my performance?" Gustav asked you while he is holding a mic.


What is your respond.

>>22936548
It's only polite to listen.

>>22936548

>Freddie Mercury
>Tom Jones

Gustav has great taste in music.


"Certainly."

>>22936591
>>22936618

You give him a nod of yes and it mad him smiled even more brighter.
"I'm gonna sing Tom Jone's It's Not Unusual" Gustav said and then he started to sing.

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone,
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna di"

It's not unusual to go out at any time,
But when I see you out and about it's just a crime,
If you should ever wanna be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual, it happens every day,
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time

Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine.

It's not unusual to be mad with anyone,
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at any time
It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you
Woh woh woh woh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Suddenly a beautiful lady walk in and she turned to Gustav and you.
"Oh, let introduce you to my little sister, Genoveva." Gustav said as he introduce you to his younger sister.

"That I am, Miss Genoveva. I am Hito Hijikatai, pleased to make your acquaintance."

>>22937133

You are almost stunned by her beauty but you regained your sense.
"That I am, Miss Geneoveva. I'm Hito Hijikatai and it's a pleasure to meet you." You said as you bow to her.
She turned to Gustav and asking him, "Gustav? It is fine if I can borrow your guest for a little while?"
"I don't mind at all Genoveva." Gustav said.

Katherine are making weird face when she looking between Genoveva and you...
Genoveva turned to you with a smile.
"Can you follow with me in private?" She asked you.


What will you do?
A: Follow her.
B: Politely reject her request.

"Of course, miss." You said and you followed her. When you arrived at the library, Genoveve turned to you with serious look.
"I have a personal request of you." She said as she looked at you with her serious expression.
"What kind of request?" You asked her.
"I want you to defeat my big brother Gustav." She said.


What will you say?

>>22937439
"That was my intention. May I ask why you wish for his defeat as well?"

>>22937439

>>22937542

Seconded. This is a strange request for Genoveva to make; I wonder why. Gustav seems like your typical upstanding knight.

>>22937542
>>22937596

"That was my intention. May I ask why you wish for his defeat as well?" You asked her.
"You see... in our family we where unbeatable knights who always win through combat. All the males of our family must become knights even they like it or not. Currently my brother is the only male of our family. Even since our father died, Gustav are forced to become knight despite that he wanted to become a singer." She said with sad look.


What will you say/ask?

>>22937766
"And my defeating him would allow Gustav to pursue his own path without dishonoring the family tradition, is that it?"

>>22937766

this >>22937845, then if she says it will, add "I'll do my best to beat him so that your brother can pursue his dream, miss."

"Yes, it is the only way but despite that he will always fight to win. His last opponent was a Indian warrior with war elephant, Gustav almost about to lose but he used all his might to defeat him. If you wanna defeat him then you must use all your skills and will to defeat him." Genoveva said.


What will you do?
A: Go back to Gustav.
B: Leave the castle.
C: Continue asking Genoveva.
D: Something else.

>>22937980
>A: Go back to Gustav.
"Very well, Miss Genoveva. I shall do my utmost to win."
Should go back, don't want to insult Gustav by leaving without telling him.

>>22937980

Reassure her. "I'll do my best, Miss Genoveva. Shall we return to the hobby room and your brother?"

"Yes a course." She said with smile.

After you and Genoveva come back to the hobby room and you can see that Gustav are keeping on his singing. You could see Katherine become quit uptight after you had left with Genoveva.

When it started to get late, Gustav offer you a free ride to the parking place after the helicopter got broken after your crash landing.

You, Gustav and other are sitting in Gustav's limousine and it is heading to the parking place where you had parking your car. Afterward, you finally arrived at the parking place.
Everybody walk out from the limousine.


What will you do?
A: Ask Gustav something before you leave.
B: Start heading back to the hotel.
C: Something else.

>>22938431

Thank Gustav for his hospitality and then we can start heading for the hotel. Is Sasha in better spirits and is Katherine still giving Melina or Hito dirty looks?

You thanking Gustav for his hospitality and start driving back to the hotel. You notice that Sasha seems less uptight and Katherine giving you the dirty look until you turn back your eyes on the road.

When you finally arrived back to the hotel, you see tired out Araki and Rachelle while Genki look pretty disappointing.
"How did it go? Do you find any good horses?" You asked them.
"No, most of the good war horse type are already sold to the military..." Araki said with tired look.
"No horses..." Genki said with disappointing look.

When Rachelle got the sight on Melina, she started to lick her lips...
"Let me introduce you to your new colleague, Melina. She will start working with you today." You said as you introduce her.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Araki." She said until she become jealous of Melina's breast.
"Hi! My name is Genki!" He said with bright-full smile at Melina.
"My name is Rachelle and it will be my great PLEASURE to working with you..." Rachelle said as she become interesting on Melina's large breast.

What will you do now? It started to get dark.

>>22938861

"No horses, huh? Well, we'll think of something. If you hear of any other places to find a horse, we can look there tomorrow."

If it's getting dark, we should probably get another room for Melina or she can pair up with one of the other girls if she wants. Need to introduce Melina to our bro Koutarou and Croco-chan as well.

>>22938971
Agreed. Also, check on our finances and stock portfolio.
Because damn, all of this war is great for business.

>I need more coffee...

>>22938971
>>22939210


"No horses, huh? Well, we'll think of something. If you hear of any other places to find a horse, we can look there tomorrow." You said.

When it getting dark, you had arranging that Melina will share the same room with Croco-chan. Your bro Koutarou working on some secret project along with Garenn.

You checking on your computer for your finances and stock portfolio.

>Here is the current list of stocks http://4quests.gamerchan.net/index.php/Maid_Quest:_The_Life_of_Master#Stocks_.28Under_Progress.29 You can point out if I miss anything.

>Have right now that are no current change on the stocks but at the future, you may make checks to see if you increase the value of your stocks.

>Question or any action that you like to take?

>>22939714

Stocks look pretty good so far. I wonder what Garenn and our bro are working on. Oh well, it can keep until we've gotten some rest for the night.

Is Katherine still being huffy or has she finally calmed down? If she's still jelly we can talk to her and reassure her.

>>22939714
Buy some shares in Howa Machinery, Ltd and their subsidiaries. We're going to break into that keiretsu.
Also some in investment in Tokyo Electric Power Company, and in the East and West Japan Rail firms, now that they've been deregulated.

>>22939830

Katherine seems to had calming down so that you don't need to worry about about her. Only thing that worry you is Rachelle who take interesting on the newcomer...

>>22939896
Ok, roll 5d6 three times to see how many stocks that you could buy.

>>22939830
Yeah, after dealing with our stock portfolio, we should check on Katherine.

As for stocks, we might want to separate our personal stock portfolio from the family fortune.
That way, the family assets remain stable, while we're able to get more aggressive with our stock purchases, since they won't negatively affect the family fortune.

Rolled 2, 5, 2, 2, 4 = 15

>>22939980
Here's hoping that we're able to make a well-diversified portfolio.

Rolled 2, 5, 5, 1, 5 = 18

>>22939980

Rolled 2, 1, 5, 2, 4 = 14

>>22939980
Here goes

>>22940015

At your current funding you could get three stocks. Which stocks will you take?

>>22940125
Howa Machinery, Tokyo Power, and BAE Systems from Britain.
If we can't get BAES, then Japan Rail East.

>>22940170

Sounds good to me. I'll support this.

After you had buying up the stocks, you decided to check with Katherine. You heading to Katherine's room and she currently sharing the same room with Araki. You knocking on the door and it seems that they don't responding it. You notice that door is currently unlock.


What will you do?

>>22940365

Call out to them. "Katherine, Araki: are you there? Can I come in?"

Just barging in would get us punched and Kat's mood has been pretty foul today.

One thing that you had learned that you shall never barge in otherwise you will get punched... You decided to call out first, "Katherine, Araki: are you there? Can I come in?"
You could hear the sound in the room and you could hear the voice of Katherine. "Wait a second!"

After a moment the door finally open, you could see that Katherine are wearing her bath robe while Araki recently watching her hands. You notice that Katherine's hair is still dry.

"What do you want?" Katherine asking you with impatiently look.


What will you say/do?

>>22940629

"I wanted to see if you were all right. You looked angry earlier and wanted to know if something was wrong."

>>22940724

"Angry? Noo... I'm not angry that you hired a another maid with big hooter...!" Katherine said with irritating voice.
Araki started to whisper something to Katherine so that she started to panic as she quickly cover the almost exposed lower parts.

"I need to go to the bathroom..... See you in the morning!" Katherine said as she quickly slam the door.


What will you do now?

>>22940943
"I wasn't expecting Katherine to take hiring on Melina so badly. I thought she'd be glad to have the extra help.
"Anyway. Araki, were you and Rachel able to get Genki to become June at all today?"

>>22940989

The door to their room is closed...

>>22941055
Oh, I thought that was the bathroom door.

Alright. Let's check on Koutarou and Garenn, then.

>>22941055

Araki seemed a little jealous earlier too. We need to tell them about the man-law 'When a flat-chested girl hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart.' But it can wait until the next morning.

>>22941087

Agree. Let's see what our robot and bro are up to.

>>22941087
>>22941101

You are aware the girls are jealous of Melina so that you decided to say something to them but you decided to say it at tomorrow.

You went to Koutarou's room and when you enter the room, you see that Koutarou are working on strange computer that are shaping like a dice. He looking at the handbook as he working on the computer. You don't see Garenn anywhere. Koutarou notice you and he smiled at you.
"Hi bro! What do you want?" He asked.
