Title: The Manager of LovePalace
In the well known streets of Shinjuku in Tokyo that is crowded with people. A place in the drinking district is especially crowded with the people from the older and younger population of the people.
In this place lies a Hotel&Restaurant that serve tourist, citizens, and lovers that are on vacation or on an Anniversary. It has a rather odd reputation within Shinjuku, because this Hotel&Restaurant is not of Japanese descend, but rather from foreigners that has invest their time and effort to build this monstrosity of a attraction for other to stay in. The building itself take up an entire block of space that use to belong to an abandon school building and also it is located close to the red-light district that normal civilian of Tokyo would not go there very often.
However, after the opening of this place and within a few month, people from all ages flock here like birds in a migration and it only took a year for it to become one of the center of attraction in Tokyo for tourist and civilian alike. That is all due to the management of the Hotel&Restaurant call LovePalace.
In LovePalace, there is Four Vice-Manager that control one direction of each four different sectors of restaurants and Hotel service inside of this enormous building that tower high in the sky with over 100 floors.
The Sectors are divided into East, West, North, and South. On the First to second floors it is made up of restaurant that is divided into the, The East Restaurant that serve dishes with Asian culture in mind and are made in China, Korea, and Japan. The West Restaurant serve dishes that is usually produce in French, America, and Britain. The North Restaurant consist of a buffet of food from random nation that is part of the northern hemisphere and they would usually change or minus a food depending if their staff is here or not to make those food. The South Restaurant however is more like a dance club that just had good food to eat and it is relatively cheap to enter compare to the other sector of LovePalace and it is mainly visited by teenager or older men looking for fun.
There is a public bath in the basement sector of this building and a place to just get a good shower or just use the high-tech bathroom that only Japan has.
On the third-fourth floor there is mini-mall at the north district and a supermarket at the south district that sell the basic necessary for the people that decided to stay their for more then a week. At the East district is a Game Center with the latest Internet Cafe computers. And at the West district is made up of three Cafe, that is a Tea lounge, Cosplay Cafe, and Bar that serve alcohol to those that are over 18.
The Fifth floor and Six floor are for reserve costumer that wanted to gamble or eat and drink in private at a high fee for using those floors. The floor cost are use to pay the staff and security to clean and protect the place if necessary. Because it is usually reserve by the rich and powerful or by the Yakuza in japan. And the Vice-Managers of the district has no jurisdiction on those floors, but if a fight breaks out on those floors they can intervene with the same authority has the head manager.
The Seventh and Eighth Floor are made up of rooms that people can rent like a motel for a few days and can order a prostitute from the red-light district to come service them at a low cost, if they buy a discount or had gain a discount coupon from the front counter in a special occasion.
The Ninth floor and Tenth floor are where the best staff and some of their family member can stay in, if they sign the contract of working there at a lower cost. But show great result for their effort that they are allow to use the hotel benefits for themselves and their family for free if they needed to.
The 11-40th Floors are for high paying hotel guest that are either planning to stay there for a short period of time that can last for a week or to a month or for a long period of time that can last for several years. The 31-70th are for the wealthier hotel guest to stay in for either short term or long term depending on the reservation and the rooms available. However the 71-90th floor is off-limits to uninvited staff and guest with only the Manager, Vice-Manager and their chosen employees can enter with authorization. Since those floors are reserve for the more paranormal guest and I don't mean just X-Users, because Enigma X is not the only mysterious existence in this world. But this part will be discuss at a later date.
One clue however, can be given is that those that live in the 91-100th floor can't even be consider as human and only the Manager and Vice-Manager are permitted to stay in that floor. Which led to many normal guest to create speculation of what lies beyond the 71-100th floor of LovePalace. That has always remain a mystery to this day after it had made its grand opening 50 years ago.
Though many try to speculated and explore those floors, they can't arrive there do the heavy security that protect those floor entranceway, even the elevator only goes up to the 70th floor and not what lies beyond it. So it has always been a fascination to the guest that stay in LovePalace for a long time that it even became one of its Seven Natural Wonders that draws more guest to flock to LovePalace and even Tanya is not an exception, because she had been working in the kitchen staff, for more then several years, but even she had never seen the Seven Nature Wonders of LovePalace Truth. But she has heard of all of them.
* The 1st Natural Wonder is what lies beyond the 70th floors, because no one has ever gotten past the security to sneak a peak up there.
* The 2nd Natural Wonder is the 13 Owners of LovePalace, because they had never shown themselves to any of the guest and only the manager and vice manager has seen them directly and rely their messages to the guest below and that is the only reason why other know of their existence.
* The 3rd Natural Wonder is the Funding of LovePalace, because the cost to maintain these many restaurants and give these many services is an Impossibility for even just a single enterprise or multiple enterprises to try, and replicate. So they all wonder where all the money spend on this monstrosity is coming from.
* The 4th Natural Wonder is the manager and vice manager background, because story had been told that they can easily take down over a thousand people in a fight and not break a sweat. So many even doubt that they are humans.
* The 5th Natural Wonder is the Black Crates that is transported up to the 71th floor, because those crates are heavily guarded by people in black suit and with machine guns. While the content of what is inside those crates are completely unknown.
* The 6th Natural Wonder is the Blimps, Jets, and Helicopters that fly around the 71th floor, because their never cease to be one flying air device in the sky near the building premise.
* The 7th Natural Wonder is the Membership Badge that has a Green X Symbol, Red T Symbol, and Silver V Symbol that on rare occasion can be scene with a guest wearing them and is escorted by a large amount of security guards, because the people who wear them all has their face cover with a carnival mask and goes up to the 71th floor. So many wonder how they can get those badges and be invited up there, but non of the staff knew the answer and neither will the manager and vice manager tell the guess about the truth of those membership badges. So it still remains as a great topic of debate and speculation for the guest that stay or tour there.
Even Tanya will only know the secrets of what lies beyond those heavily guarded doors at a later date.
When she had arrive at the entrance of LovePalace in her uniform that is a black apron, black sleeve shirts, shorts, and a ribbon that ties her hair into a pony tail. With her name stitched to the apron she was wearing and the Logo of LovePalace, which is a pink heart with two horns for some odd reason. Those that work in LovePalace knew that she was an employee that the manager has hire a while ago and she wear that uniform for as long as they knew her, but to those that had no knowledge of this, only saw her as someone to be look at with contempt.
Since, they are thinking that she is trying to sneak in by pretending to a staff, because many has done the same thing as her, in order to find out about the secrets that Love-Palace had hidden from them before the public eyes, but in the end all those fake employee got arrested the moment that they arrive at the premise.
However, when they saw that the security guards greeted her with a friendly smile, all those new people that had been walking into the building was shock by this sight, while some others did not care, because they had seen her before. Also while Tanya does not know about what others think of her, others however see her as an Enigma that can be consider the Eighth Natural Wonder of LovePalace, Call the Fairy that is in an Apron with a fan club, Because of her natural pretty and cute looks that make her look like an angel. But what is strange about her in their eyes, is that Tanya is exceptionally close with the manager like a mother and her child. Some even think that she is actually the manager daughter, but in the end, the manager herself denied these claims. So they are still at a lost of how they became so close.
However they do know, that the only reason that Tanya can work in LovePalace is because of her closeness with the manager, since the moment when LovePalace has open all its employee seat has already been fill and no other workers was hire and even when one staff was either fire or retire or quit, it was immediately fill by another employee. So there is no opportunity for anyone to work in this place. So others usually keep an eye on her, in order to get favorable relationship with her and get more benefit through her with the manager that is said to be a demon to men. So it is unknown by now, about how many times that she was almost kidnap or was approach by strangers because of the ulterior motives of these greedy people.
So in the end the manager decided that she should go to the door keeper and the security guards the moment she arrive at the building premise, to keep away the bees that flock to her as if she is cover in honey.
The friendly door keeper and security guards greeted her the moment they had saw her.
“Hey! Little fairy how have you been? You seem happier today compare to yesterday, what cause such a change huh! Did you get a boy—”
“Oh!!! who dare to lay their filthy hands on my Little fairy, tell me! if it is boy then without my approval he better not have done anything to you or I will—”
“You will do what? Cry for the manager? If the manager did hear that she had gotten a boyfriend then, I am sure that the boy will experience a painful death the moment that he had touch her!”
“Yea, you are right, so tell use Little fairy, what had happen that made you seem so happy that you seem to be glowing?”
“My parents died in a car accident, so I no longer have to worry about more dept collector coming after me.”
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
“......”
“.....”
After she said that, she wave them good bye and left them there with a dumbfounded face and rush into the kitchen. However, before she can push open the doors, it burst open by itself with such great speed that she jump back in a fright.
However the moment that she had jump back, she was tackle by a person and knock to the floor due to their difference in weight.
The person in question, is her manager that is repeatedly rubbing her cheeks against hers.
“TANYA-CHAN I HAVE MISS YOU SO BADLY!!! I JUST CAN'T GET USE TO HOW SMOOTH YOUR SKIN IS!!!! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN THESE PAST FEW MONTHS!” she said as she continue to lie on top of her and rub her smooth face against her own cheeks.
“it......... was........ great, my parents have finally kick the bucket and died, which is great...... thank you Manager... can you... please let go of me?”she said with difficulty as she felt that her train body is being crushed by the insane arm strength, her manager has in those skinny arms.
However her manager force her to tell, her the detail of their death and when she learn of that she hug harder and made terrifying shriek.
“NOOOO.... WAYYYYY.... TANYA-CHAN IS MINE!!! YOU WILL FOREVER BE MINE, YOU GOT THAT!!! NO ONE CAN TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME!!!!! ANYBODY THAT WANT YOU MUST STEP OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!!!” She said as she begin to kiss her repeatedly on the face. As if to make her territory on her body with lipstick.
“Um... manager I am not going anywhere and no one is going to take me away... so please can you let go... it is getting hard to breath....” Tanya said as her face grew paler by every second due to the decrease in blood circulation from her monstrous hug.
“Ah? OH I AM SORRY TANYA-CHAN ARE YOU OKAY???!!!!!” She said in hurry after seeing my terrible condition from being bear hug by her.
“Yea, I am... I think my arm maybe broken, but I am fine” Tanya said as she grip her left arm that was broken and started to us her Ki to begin healing it. While her manager just look worry and at a lost of what to do.
(Damn... that physical strength of her is just far too incredible.... even if a ballistic missile was to hit me directly I would be fine with a few scratches, but from just a single hug, my arm broke... just how much physical power does she have....) she smile to her sweetly as cold sweat run through her back.
Her manager, Mikaelina Von Archduke, is usually ice cold to men and all things that she consider dirty in this world, including her parents of course. She could have ask Mikealina to deal with her parents a long time ago, but for some reason her second personality was adamant in not involving her. So she never told the complete truth of upbringing because of her second personality saying to not involve others in our affairs. Which she did not really want to do so either, so she never told anyone about what she has been through in her life, before she has met master.
“Hey are you listening to what I am saying, dear?” she ask her about something she completely did not hear about.
“UM... can Manager can you explain it again, because I did not hear....”she said apologetically with her head down cast.
“AHH.... SO CUTE TANYA-CHANNNNN!!!!” Mikaelina said as she was about to hug her again, but she manage to dodge away this time from that death hug.
“Manager why do you always hug me whenever we meet?” she said that because she felt it was a little annoying for her to be call cute, when she is actually 16 years old already and can be describe as stunning in her original form.
However like a mad hound, her manager pounce at her again in order to hug her to death like a stuff teddy bear. But once again she dodge away by an inch from being pull into those arms of death. Her manager then smash into the wall of the corridor leading to the kitchen.
“Why?.... Tanya-chan... do you still not understand what I love most?....” she said slowly in a rather eerie way.
“my... my... let me tell you again.... in this world there are brutes and smelly pigs that call themselves men.... if the world was only made up of that, then I would have went on a murder spree until every last one of them are killed... what stop me and show me the light of justice.... its Cuteness.... Cuteness is justice in its highest order....cuteness of a little girl such as you Tanya. Out of all the little girl I had slept with, you are the purest and most innocent of them all... you are more lovely then any flower, more fragrant then any perfume, more stunning then any model, and more mysterious and harder to read then any book, you are the embodiment of what it means to be cute, pure, innocent, yet have that hidden madness lurking inside of you.... just thinking of what is underneath those clothes of yours just made me have over 20 orgasm a day, even though I am still a virgin....” as she said each line her gaze become more and more centralize on every each of her body
Okay... manager... please stop looking at me with those predatory eyes, I am scared....
“Manager.... I understand your feelings towards me... but I am no longer a little girl I am 16 and this is only my seal form, because of the power that master has given me is too much for me to handle, so after I had adjust to the power that master has transfer to me... I would no longer be a little girl...” she said, but her gaze just become harder and harder that it became difficult for her to speak another word.
So she decided that she should stop idling around and get to work, because she is payed by the minute by her manager and vice-manager so she should start working right now. Even though her manager is giving her the most powerful stare of all time. She must endure it to do her work and to earn money to pay for Len medical fee, because if she does not, she may have to sell her virginity to her manager to get money... which isn't too bad, but she shouldn't get rid of her purity for something so vulgar as money.. so she better get to work.
Since she is going to save up on her wishing powers, because the more souls she has, the faster that she can evolve her wish and remove more limitation. So she should not spend it meaninglessly right now.
She decided to walk pass her manager while her gaze fell upon her that can freeze a person dead in their tracks, she decided to continue to move forward. However suddenly her manager call out to her again, but she does not dare to turn her back, because she is terrify at being stare at by someone like this. It feels like the eyes of someone who can see every secret that she has ever hidden by her and is lay bare before those emerald eyes.
However, what she said after complete stun her movement and stop her ability to breathe.
“Tanya-chan... I know that is not your real physical form, I know that the blood on your hands are that of your adoptive parents. And I know you had killed your master in order to save your little brother. You kill your parents because they were a vile bunch, you killed your master because he tried to stop you from going to far... I know that what you had shown me is nothing more then a outer facade that you want to make other see you as, but Tanya... what I want you to know is that, no matter what you had done in the past is all on you, it is not in my place to interfere, even though you could have told me to help you and I would, but you never did, either because you don't want to bother me or does not trust me enough before, I just want you to know that, my opinion about you will never change, to me you are a girl that is so undeserving of this world hatred, yet—” she stop for a moment then continue. But it her mind. She is screaming.
(WHY!! WHY DO YOU KNOW THIS!!!) She thought loudly.
“—yet even though the world hates you, you are not afraid to fight to the death against it. So no matter what else that you are hiding in your heart, you can always tell me or keep it to yourself and fight with it alone. It is all on you Tanya, you are old enough to make your choices without an adult interfering in your every decision. So that is why Tanya you are the most lovely of all flowers, more fragrant than any other perfume, more stunning then any model or idol, and the most mysterious being that overshadow any book an author can write about their characters.... especially... you are the cutest girl in my eyes.... If..” she then stop again and Tanya at this moment felt a pair of warm arms wrapping around her gently and a soft whisper being told into her ears.
(…...)
“If.. you were my daughter and I already think that you are, I would never let you be free from my grasp or give you to anyone, but you are the kin of someone else and I am only your employer, as an employer one should not interfere with their employee personal life, so I can't help you if you never tell me anything alright, dear..”
(I... how... can.... I... !!!...) she is at a lost of what to think anymore after hearing her manager feeling for her.
However what she said surprise her the most in all of her life time and she can even feel the shock ripple from her second personality as well. As if something is about to burst out of her eyes, but she held back her tears and only nodded then got into the kitchen to wishes dishes.
“Wait! Tanya-chan! Do you have a phone on you?” she ask again.
“Um... no I.. actually I do.. but I don't know how to use it though” Tanya said apologetically again.
“If that is the case then I can teach you at a later date, but here is my phone number in case that you need anything from me okay! You can ask me anything I will grant it to you with the best of my abilities, so try to be more selfish in asking me for help, Okay!” she said as she handed her a slip of paper and wave good bye to her and left the kitchen corridor.
She only look at the piece of paper for a moment, then gave a happy smile to her back that is born out of genuine happiness and got to work. With renew vigor in her duty to work for the manager.
In that night, Tanya did not only clean the dishes, but also the entire staff kitchen facility and let all the remaining staff go home early that night. While thanking her for her hardwork and she got the bonus that she desire from her manager and vice-manager.
(All that well, ends well, I guess) she thought.
However, when she was on the train home she eagerly pull out the X-Phone that she receive this evening and turn it on. But due to her happiness she does notice that there are a pair of unwelcoming eyes looking at her from the shadows..... but when she felt the stare, it disappear instantly.
“What was that?” she said as she looked at the direction of where those unwelcoming eyes were looking from.
They were coming from below the seats of the train that she was in, but as she looked there was nothing odd or out of the ordinary there.....
