"..." Mori takes a while to process. 'Ok, why the heck did I wake up on an expensive bed?' He tilts his head to scan his surroundings. 'Long thick black curtains blocking the sunlight, an expensive bed with a net, excessive yet unnecessary decorations... No matter how I look at this, this is a room for noble.' Somehow, he felt a sort of deja vu.
*Creak*
"Senpai, you're awake?" Alastair's head peeked into the room nervously. (>.< )
'Oh, this is not a second reincarnation.' Mori sighed in relief. "Yes. Now, explain."
"I found you two unconscious in my garden so I carried both of you to empty rooms in the East wings. People rarely come here because the hallway is complicated. Harmon is next door." ( ͡°_ ͡° ʋ)
"Did anyone see my face?"
"Well... I did see it by chance. I made sure to carry both of you discreetly so no one else had seen it. Don't worry senpai, your identity is safe with me!" ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Mori has no idea how this overgrown child manages to kidnap two adult men without being noticed but his new kouhai is very reliable.
[Kidnap here is more to skill. Yes, the two adult men are Mori and Harmon.]
The next thing he knew the three of them are having breakfast in the guest room Mori is currently staying at. Among the things that Alastair took are a loaf of bread, grape jam, butter, tea, and sugar.
"You never cease to surprise me, Wilson. No one noticed you walk around with this tray of food?"
"Well, there are plenty of rooms to hide in. It's not like they will inspect those rooms thoroughly." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Fufu~ If I were to discover this before knowing your personality I would've thought you're a professional thief."
"E-e-excuse me?!! How could I be a thief in my mansion?!" (;ŏ﹏ŏ) Alastair defended.
"Other than breakfast, might as well tell us what you have stolen, hmm?~." Harmon smiles innocently.
"Taking things that are mine to begin with is not stealing! Right senpai?" (╬☉д⊙)⊰⊹ฺ
"Harmon's teasing you. Don't take it to heart." Mori sips his tea without giving it much thought.
"Mori, would you like to reintroduce yourself to Wilson? I promise that he's a person we can trust."
Mori shifted his gaze from the snake-like older brother and the sparkling-eyed kouhai. He wondered how the twisted Harmon could get along with his innocent and pure Kouhai. "Alright. My name goes by Mori Hadrian. Don't waste your time searching for my family. They're dead. I graduated with a decent grade but it's still hard to get a steady job. With no one to depend on, I cannot stay jobless so I open a bakery. That's pretty much it." Although Harmon said he trusted Alastair doesn't mean that Mori has to tell someone from this world about the existence of another world.
"Whoa... Senpai, you're so cool!" \(°▽°)/
Alastair said with eyes full of admiration. As someone who always hated boot lickers, the opposite, he would feel admiration towards those who are independent.
"Heh. What's so cool about me?"
"I never met someone as tough as you! Despite those hardships, you stand firm and lead your own life! That's seriously cool!" (✯ᴗ✯)
Mori chuckles. "I never met someone (from this world) who would praise me as much as you do."
"W-well! T-that's because you deserved it!" ミ●﹏☉ミ
"Hey, why do I feel like I'm being cast aside?" Harmon taps the table using his index finger.
"Can't you stay silent for a few seconds?"
"Apparently, no." Harmon's smile makes Mori irritated. "That aside, since Alastair made a debut as a Duke last night, he will have to visit his territory from time to time. Expect his visits to your bakery."
"Baker Streets isn't part of his territory, right?"
"No, it's mine. I bought Baker Streets." Harmon announces proudly.
Mori cast a deadpanned face. 'This is capitalism.' While Mori is on the brink of being penniless after he replaced his door, this guy just easily splashes his money like water.
"Harmon, we still haven't got senpai's consent yet." (*﹏*;)
"He's living all alone I'm afraid he'll turn emo." Harmon snickered.
"Senpai will get sick???" (ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)
'I see. Alastair is someone easy to fool so before anyone could take advantage of him, Harmon steps in. Protecting Alastair from snakes and eventually gaining his trust will secure whatever money source he has from being targeted by jealous nobles.' Mori concluded and eventually glanced at the two people in front of him. "I'm not emo. Just knock on the door and I'll open it unless I'm sleeping or simply not home."
"Home? Do you live in the bakery?" (・_・;)
'This rich kid...' Mori forced a smile. "Yes, it's better than the damp and hard street."
"Alright. We're not here to argue. Let's discuss more the future ahead of us. Chronologically speaking, things will get ugly. You see Mori, as nobles, we have to play our respective roles unless we want the royals to suspect us to neglect our duty. By doing so, we will help you achieve a peaceful life by providing a safe environment. Although it's still far-fetched because the Afghanistan War drains the yearly budget and makes the poor increase in number, England's environment should not be that bad."
"So you're saying I should expect to get robbed by some random desperado." Mori crosses his arm.
"Oh come on, Mori. Robbers exist in all eras. I didn't warn you for nothing. That aside, how's your preparation, Wilson?"
"I'm planning to fix the law but I have trouble coming up with reasons. Like this law where they kill pickpockets even though the offenders are children. Some Nobles don't pay taxes. Regarding preparations of countermeasures against assassination attempts hasn't been done yet." (ب_ب)
Seeing his kouhai's troubled face, Mori sighed and raised his right hand. "I'll help too." What Mori said gained their attention. "This is for the sake of a peaceful life, isn't it? All this time, there was nothing I could do except for dealing with the problem with my own hands. To be honest, it doesn't do much. I have high hopes in this plan so I will help with whatever is within my abilities."
Harmon curved a smile. "If it's Mori, then I have no doubts."
"Then, are you doubting me?" ಠ︵ಠ
"Maybe just a little." Harmon chuckled.
"Whyyyy?!!" щ(゜ロ゜щ)
And so, a pact is made between an assassin, a mad scientist, and a young rising criminal whose goal is a peaceful life? Seriously??? Who would've believed that?
...
Author's Woes
Ok, the party's over. FINALLY, MY BRAIN IS BRAINING! I knew this would happen the moment I decided to make a plot unrelated to the storyline. SORRY FOR THE WAIT LIKE- MONTHS???
I'll have to catch up where I've stopped and continued with the development of the original characters. After indulging those manhwas about reincarnating into medieval settings, what's the most important is power! Status! Money! Without it, it's challenging to make up a plot lol. Mc might as well die early if no random guy is claiming the mc as their heir or something. I can't use that plot on Mori ofc so here's where Harmon and Alastair come in handy.
