-Recap
As Makoto, with a very happy and excited Elizabeth wrapped around his left arm, heads toward his room, he opens the door and he's greeted by a face that he hoped and prayed not to see.
It was Aigis and, by the looks of it, it seems as if she's been waiting for him.
"Welcome back Makoto-san, I just came back from maintenance and was hoping to-.."
Aigis paused and noticed a platinum blonde haired girl happily wrapped around Makoto's left arm.
"Ah, my apologies Makoto-san, I could have sworn there was a GIRL wrapped around your arm", Aigis said while giving what seemed to be a forced smile.
Aigis checked Makoto's left arm again, to make sure her eyes (lenses) were working properly, and much to her dismay, there really was a girl happily wrapped around Makoto's arm.
"Makoto-san...who is that girl?" Aigis asks with the most monotone voice Makoto has ever heard from her.
"Well..."
" What is your relationship with this girl?" Aigis asks while giving Makoto a glare she'd normally reserve for shadows.
"Err.."
Luckily for Makoto, Elizabeth chimed in.
"I am, but a mere attendant to Master Makoto", Elizabeth replies.
Aigis coldly stares at Elizabeth, who is still happily glued to Makoto's arm.
"M-Master?" the confused Aigis utters.
`Huh? Did Aigis just stutter?' Makoto said to himself.
`Wait, Aigis looks like she's contemplating on what to say...I've never seen her act this way before,' I wonder why?' Makoto thought to himself.
After much contemplation, it seemed as if Aigis finally found the words to respond.
"If you truly are a "mere attendant", then why are you holding Makoto-san so closely?" Aigis asked with an accusatory tone.
"Ai-Aigis, there's no need for this", Makoto really didn't want this to escalate, it could be a disaster.
"Ah, Master Makoto, is this one of those interrogations that Law Enforcement use to get answers out of someone??" asked an excited and blissfully oblivious Elizabeth.
`How is she so oblivious to the situation? It's cute in a way though' Makoto thought.
"Er..yeah something like that," Makoto replied nervously.
"Respond", Aigis coldly commanded.
"Ah yes the response, the nature of our relationship is rather inappropriate to say the least, isn't that right my darling Makoto~", replied Elizabeth as she gave an alluring smile to Makoto.
Makoto felt his face turn bright red and bashfully turned his head away from Elizabeth.
"Y-Your right," Makoto quietly replied.
"Awww darling, you're so adorable when you're blushing. You are not this bashful when we engage in se-"
"Enough," Aigis coldly commands.
...
"I understand now...yes I understand..."
"Understand what Aigis?" asked a very confused Makoto.
"It seems to me that you prefer being around approximately 1,000 yen prostitutes!"
"Huh!? W-where's this coming from!? yelled a shocked and frankly confused Makoto.
'Seriously what kind of conclusion is that?' sighed Makoto.
"From gathering data about many women personalities and from her attire alone, it is safe to assume she might be from a club Makoto-san frequents", a frankly disappointed Aigis says.
Makoto had no idea how to reply to such a ridiculous statement. And even if he did, the words probably wouldn't be able to come out of his mouth. And to top it all off...
"Ah if I may ask, what is a prostitute Master?" asked the genuinely curious and unaware Elizabeth.
`...shit how did I not see this coming?' sighed the blue-haired Messiah.
"Err...well in exchange for a specific item, a prostitute will give certain rewards".
...
`...wait what kind of explanation was that!? Makoto internally reprimands himself for giving the world's worst and the most vaguest answer.
"Oh well you do bring me very specific and very wonderful items and I do give you very very wonderful rewards~, so by that definition I must be a prostitute yes? asked the extremely unaware Elizabeth.
Upon hearing that question, Makoto's jaw dropped whilst Aigis' already threatening aura intensified, and for the first time in his life, Makoto felt genuine fear.
`Shit, I have to deescalate this situation!'
"Elizabeth..."
"Yes Master?"
"I messed up the definition for what a prostitute is.."
"Oh? Then what is the true definition Master?" asked the curious Elizabeth.
"A prostitute is a woman you pay money to, in exchange for s-sex...", replied a deeply embarrassed Makoto.
"Oh, well by that definition, I am by no means a prostitute. By the contrary, we freely engage in sexual activities, don't we my darling Makoto~?"
The blue haired Messiah blushed a deep crimson and quickly turned his head away from the smirking elevator attendant.
"Awww, I want to see my master's blushing face", remarked a teasing Elizabeth.
As Elizabeth nears her hand to turn the blue haired Messiah's blushing face toward hers, a bullet rushes between her hand and Makoto's head.
"Jesus Christ!!" Makoto yelled in response to Aigis' sudden display of aggression.
"Oh my, how aggressive", Elizabeth said in a playful tone. A reaction quite opposite to Makoto's.
"Ai-Aigis, what was that for?!" Makoto shouted.
"I want to know the nature of your relationship with that girl... from your own mouth Makoto-san!" Aigis cried out. The yell from Aigis caught Makoto completely off guard.
Makoto froze up upon hearing the question posed by Aigis. Before he answered he wanted to ask something.
"Al-Alright, but was it really necessary to shoot?"
"I felt that drastic measures were the only way to get your attention", Aigis matter of factly answered.
Makoto sighed and decided to gather his thoughts. He was weighing the pros and cons of each course of action he could take. Makoto could just be blunt and tell Aigis that he was in a relationship with Elizabeth, sparing the details of the Velvet Room of course.
Another option was to grab Elizabeth's hand and make a mad dash towards the dorm's front door. Regardless of what path he chooses, it will surely end in disaster.
...
After careful deliberation, Makoto made his choice.
`This is sure to go well', Makoto thought.
After taking a deep breath, the blue haired Messiah finally spoke.
"Elizabeth is my girlfriend!" Makoto boldly declared.
Makoto's bold declaration unsurprisingly bolstered Aigis' already threatening aura. It has an entirely different affect on the elevator attendant though, and for this moment the tables were turned.
Elizabeth's face was now a bright red as a result of Makoto's declaration.
"I've been patiently waiting for quite some time to hear those words Master~. Upon hearing you call me your girlfriend, the already lovestruck maiden part of me has increased a vigintillion fold", purred a very happy Elizabeth.
Seeing her reaction to something he thought was simple made Makoto accidentally vocalize one of his internal thoughts out loud.
"C-Cute..."
`Shit, did I really just say that out loud?...Well it is the truth though'
"Do you really think so Master~?" asked the lovestruck Elevator Attendant.
Makoto nodded in response. And in response, Elizabeth inched towards his ear and whispered.
"They say actions speak louder than words in this world. I would very much like it, if you could prove you truly do believe so, Master Makoto~".
The blue haired Messiah turned red and nodded in response to Elizabeth's request. He slowly inched his face closer towards the Elevator Attendant's face. Elizabeth did so in turn, both of them completely oblivious to Aigis' growing rage.
The lovestruck couple were just inches away from kissing distance, until Makoto froze up and turned his head to face Aigis. Elizabeth obviously very confused asks Makoto,
"What's wrong darling?"
Makoto recognizes those sounds Aigis is currently making.
`Oh hell no', Makoto thinks to himself.
Makoto points at Aigis, "That's what's wrong".
"Activating Orgia Mode", the deadpan robot girl announced.
"Ah, is she challenging me to a duel? Oh, this will be exhilarating!" Elizabeth excitedly exclaimed.
`Shit, got to think of something fast'
...
`I got it', Makoto says to himself as he nods.
"Elizabeth, if you don't fight her, I promise we'll both have another dual", Makoto proposes while giving a smirk.
"Ah, an alternative proposal hmm~? Let me think...Yes I agree to your terms Master", replies the smiling Elizabeth.
"Wonderful, now let's get the hell out of here".
"Ohh", squeaked the Elevator Attendant, as Makoto sweeps her off her feet bridal style to escape from the wrath-filled robot girl.
