Ranking System

"Nene, do we need to buy anything? Like food or clothing?"

Since I had just moved into the house, I had no idea what we needed. I might as well check the whole place before we head out.

"Let's check the fridge first, master~!"

The size of the mansion was incomparably bigger than my old apartment. I had heard from Linsey that this place was about 10,000 square feet. I found this stupidly large.

This place had three floors, not including the basement. Each room was as big as my apartment room. The difference between this house and my apartment was something else.

Checking the pantry, there was nothing. I guess we do need to buy something. The dining room was smaller than I expected, but that was good. I didn't want it to be oversized.

"Nene, do you know how to cook?"

"Nyeh~!"

"I see."

That was a cute no, but she wasn't perfect at everything. No matter, I have enough experience with cooking by living by myself.

"Let's go to the grocery store."

"Aye~!"

Exiting my mansion, Nene and I explored the island. Heading toward the plaza, it was pretty crowded.

"Master, stay close~!"

Nene grabbed my arm, not wanting to get separated. I was surprised by her actions. I don't like getting touched at all. Since she wasn't harming me, then it was fine.

"Nene, what's my schedule like? Linsey said you have all the details."

"Class starts in two days tomorrow~."

"Class starts at 10 AM, and you could leave if you feel the lesson wasn't needed."

The school was pretty lenient, that is, if you were a high ranker.

"I will be your aide~."

"My aide?"

"This school allows an aide to follow you around during class~. An aide will serve their master and help them with some tasks~. And that's me~."

Now I feel like I'm attending a royal academy. Well, at least I now know someone during class. Now that I think about it, Nene will be stuck with me for almost twenty-four-seven.

"We'll be together often, huh."

"Yep~! I will take care of you real good~."

After buying what we needed in the grocery store, we also went to the clothes store. Nene had many hand-picked clothes for me. I can say that she has a good sense of fashion.

"Nene, where do I buy a storage ring?"

Now that money isn't a problem. I should probably get a storage ring. Luckily, Nene has one, so the clothes we bought were in her ring.

"There are many stores that sell them. The newer phones have apps that sell items globally. You can buy a new phone and check for a storage ring."

Looking at my old phone, it was pretty garbage. I had only used it as a communication device for work and other related stuff.

"Then, what about school materials? Do I need anything special?"

"A laptop or a tablet is all you need."

"I see..."

"How about we have lunch before we go?"

Both Nene nor I haven't eaten lunch yet, so now is the best time to do so. But what should we eat? Now that I have money, I should get good quality food.

"Master~ I'm also hungry. Let's eat~!"

"Do you have any recommendations? I don't eat out much."

"Umm... Ah~! Let's go to a burger shop~!"

Burgers? I haven't eaten those in a while. They're stupidly expensive for only a meal. Money isn't that much of a concern, so it's okay.

"Then let's go search for one."

"Hehe~!"

The thought of eating a burger brought joy to the cat maid. Together, we searched for the nearest fast-food chain that sold burgers.

"Top Ranker's Food Chain."

Despite its lame name, I had heard that the quality of their food is good. I had never tried their meal, but it didn't hurt to try.

Walking in with Nene, we had a bunch of stares glancing at us. With our ranking and Nene's maid uniform, it had attracted some people.

Sometimes I wish privacy was a thing, but that was all gone in the window when the ranking system appeared.

What should I get? I had never ordered a meal from this place.

"Nene, do you have any recommendations?"

"Why don't you find a seat first~? I will take care of the order~."

"... But what if I don't like the food you order..."

"You will like it. I guarantee it~!"

Seeing that Nene was so eager to do so, I found a place to sit back in the corner of the place. What is taking so long? Twenty minutes had passed, and Nene still wasn't here yet.

Looking from a distance, I saw someone carrying a whole food set. Was that Nene? There were too many burgers for anyone to handle.

"How many did you buy?"

"I bought two of everything~."

Wasn't that a waste? Even if she has a storage ring, the freshness of the food will not stay.

"Can you eat that much?"

"This is how much I eat~."

"Then let's dig in."

I was still worried about the amount of food that was ordered. I can't tell which I would like. They were all covered in wrappers.

Grabbing the medium-sized burger, I unwrapped it and began eating a triple beef burger with three layers of cheese.

Seeing nothing wrong with it, I took a bite. It's pretty dang good. The sauce that they added hits the spot.

Looking over to Nene, she was already on her fifth burger. I thought she was joking when she said she could eat a lot.

I didn't consider that she was that much of a glutton. Watching her eat was almost impossible not to do.

After finishing my food, Nene had already finished every last one. Even people from our surroundings couldn't help but be astonished by Nene's appetite.

"Master~! That was a good lunch~!"

"Yeah..."

"Let's go~!"

Taken by Nene's pace, we went around to buy more things. There was never a time when I had bought so many things.
