Chapter 50 How To Fund An Empire (2/2)
Meanwhile Vera had an idea of her own.
***
Dolly has the best brother in creation itself. Smart, kind, loving, really good at making delicious treats. Simply perfect.
Pretty, too.
However she has recently come to realize the burden Day carries with him, the dangers he braves on a regular basis.
Dolly was ashamed. She wanted to cry. Oh, Day! I had no idea!
Tears streamed down her face and she tip-toed.
All these years she had never understood. Had never realized the predators eying him like a slab of meat.
How could she be so foolish? All this time she feared being replaced as his sister when the reality was so much worse.
How could she not have tried to protect him before now? From all these bad, no-good women who only ever thought of lewd things. Those women who took advantage of his good intentions, those little girls who wanted to split us apart…
He's too innocent for this cruel, dog-eat-dog world!
It's up to Dolly to save him!
And to do so, she had to dig deep. She had to be more ruthless and cutthroat than all those no-good bitches! Even if it meant getting her hands dirty!
Burning with righteous fury, she slowly opened the drawer.
All of a sudden the light switched on.
”Eep!” She jumped in fright.
”Dolly?” It was Day! He caught her!
”Oh. Day. Fancy meeting you here.” Oooh, good job, me. That was smooth.
”It's the middle of the night. In my dorm room. What do you mean, fancy meeting me here? How'd you even know where I was? Actually, what're you doing here? What's that thing behind your back?” He squinted his eyes suspiciously, shooting several questions that made her sweat bullets.
”Eh? Nothing. What do you mean?” Dolly smiled shakily.
”Are those my underwear?”
”...No?”
”Why's that a question?” He flicked her head. ”Explain!”
Ku...the pain, it hurt! But, Day's angry face is also very pretty. Dolly lamented. How could such beauty exist in the world? Looking so cool even at this hour. Day, as I thought, it's too dangerous for you here!
She reaffirmed her choice to go against the world, clutching his underwear tightly in her little fist.
”Day, it's not what you think. I'm doing this for you!”
”...You're stealing my underwear, though?”
”Yes, that's right!”
”For me...okay, doesn't make any sense but whatever. What for?”
”Money!”
”How is that benefitting me? Do I even get a split? I'm getting a split this time, right?!”
”Uh, no...but it's all for you anyway, so just trust me!” Dolly started stuffing various clothes into her pockets, under her arms, even inside her dress. She was slowly becoming sphere-shaped. She madly gathered all the clothes she could find. Then moved onto the laundry basket.
”Ooh, prime goods! Hurray!” She cheered.
Damien was speechless. Prime goods my ass!
”Who the heck is even going to pay money for my clothes?”
”I can't answer that.” Dolly said, very seriously. ”Dealer-buyer confidentiality.” She considered. ”Well, it's not any one person. But someone is paying extra for your sweaty used clothes. Anonymous buyer. ”
HIs sweaty clothes….is it Vee? Or another pervert? Or maybe Vee? It's Vee, isn't it?
”Little brat, you can't just--”

”Oh, and you have 579 dates set up.”
”Fucking WHAT?!” His eyes nearly popped out of his skull.
”A lot of people booked you twice.” Dolly rummaged deep into his laundry basket, feet now in the air. ”Oh...Day, I'm stuck, help!” She kicked in panic. ”Ah, nevermind, I'm okay.” She stood, basket raised atop her head, slowly pushing her way out.
”WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BOOKED TWICE?!”
”Please, Day? It's for our future happiness!” The puppy-dog eyes made their return!
Why is this whole thing sounding so damn familiar?
He felt an eye twitch. He directly kicked her rounded form through the doorway. But she was so large now she couldn't fit.
”Get outta here! Dang brat, always selling out your big bro….never leaving me my cut….cheapskate….”
”Day….ughn” She struggled, dangling in mid-air, held up by both sides between the door frame. ”I'm doing this for us….please...understand...The shinies don't matter, okay? By the way, are there any gambling dens here? I need a few debt slaves. ”
He kicked her again and sent her flying out. ”Go back!” And slammed the door shut. Remembering belatedly the majority of his clothes were stolen. Including his new uniforms.
He quickly reopened the door only to find one piece of paper with the letters I.O.U
She was long gone.
Milly floated to his side. ”Papa's family is weird.” The Holy Sword stated matter-of-factly.
”Why didn't you tell me she snuck in?”
”....I'm sorry, Papa. Milly gave into temptation.”
”Huh?”
”Milly booked Papa for next week.”
