87 – Just Delicious Cookies
The expression did not change, but I could feel that he was a little embarrassed.
That’s right.
Even I hesitated to bring this up.
I was worried that I might be questioned by Elena.
She thought it was a good opportunity until she was invited by Shiraishi to come to his house together. I don’t know what the maid next to her is thinking.
I understand that in addition to her hard-line stance against Shiraishi and us, she also wants to take the child back to her home.
Sometimes unexplained behavior or… The same goes for inviting us like today.
“……… You are….”
Now I asked about my relationship with Shiraishi.
Yes, we were friends at school, but we made a promise.
I decided to help her with her school life and at the same time connect her with Yuuki.
However, that was not something I could say honestly.
Did she say that if Shiraishi’s deviation was detected, she would immediately take him away?
Among the shallow standards of deviance, Elena emphasized ‘impure s*xual intercourse.’
That was what I wanted to achieve.
Confiding it honestly was like giving her a reason to immediately take Shiraishi back to her home.
“Did you officially join the company through a job posting? When….”
“Oh, no…” ! “It’s not like that!”
I wasn’t hired through a formal interview after submitting a resume.
Should I say that I was cast directly by the young lady?
So should we call it a parachute?
I succeeded in making Elena flustered for a moment, but I can’t think of the next move.
If this continues, I won’t really be joining the Shiraishi family as a butler.
At that time, I thought that I didn’t want to die for the future of working for this woman…
“Ah, here it is. Elena~”
“……… Yes.”
From afar, a black-haired maid approached her and waved her hand.
“There was a problem preparing the meal… “I think I’ll have to come by and see for a moment!”
“……… Ha.”
Elena frowned and sighed softly.
“I understand. “Let’s go now.”
I lived… The moment I thought that, her eyes fell on me.
“Boy.”
“……… Yes?”
Boy?
Are you talking about me?
I was dumbfounded for a moment, but soon realized that I was just an ordinary male student and opened my mouth.
“Ah… yes.”
She looked down at me and asked calmly.
“Do you like cookies?”
“……… ….”
However, the question that followed also had no clear meaning.
“…… “I don’t hate it.”
At that unexpected answer, Elena turned around and headed to another place with the maid who approached her.
She knew that there was no reason for her to guide me.
I had already gotten used to this place after going to and from this mansion many times.
The maid who was walking behind Elena turned around and waved her hand.
I had said hello to her a few times.
Could it have been saved?
The moment she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to start walking, a voice came from behind her.
“Wow, I barely survived. Right?”
“……… Yes.”
When I looked behind her, there was a maid there too.
She has a brown ponytail and dark skin. Yua, a maid with a healthy and lively appearance, greeted me with a smile.
From noble mtl dot com
“It’s been a while. “You didn’t come alone this time?”
“Yes… “We are classmates.”
Among the many employees in this house, she was one of the few maids who greeted me and spoke to me in an especially friendly manner.
The same goes for Reina, the black-haired maid who just called Elena.
Since there were so many employees who knew me, she couldn’t hide it from her.
“But… Are you really going to become the butler of this house?”
Mr. Yua asked, giggling.
In this situation, she will quickly realize that being the exclusive butler and all that was not real and was just a momentary response.
Of course Shiraishi who gave me that suggestion seemed sincere.
“Please look… “Working here must be very intense.”
“Yes. “It’s actually tough.”
Yua said while looking at the direction Elena turned.
“I heard it got a lot more difficult after the maid came….”
“Is it that much?”
“That person is so strict. Because it’s not flexible….”
Mr. Yua waved one hand and spoke in a bad manner that was not typical of a maid.
“Ha… It was heaven when Aiden was there….”
“……… ….”
They say you can talk about anything when you’re not around. I looked at her with concern as there was something wrong with her.
“Minsu, be careful too. “Now that I’m invited as her guest, nothing much will happen.”
She whispered, putting her hand to her mouth even though no one was around her.
“Is it no big deal?”
“Elena… “The enemy is merciless.”
“The enemy….”
Anyway, he’s Shiraishi’s classmate.
There is no way I could be treated like that.
“You know. “Thieves sneaking over the wall or men approaching the girl with impure intentions.”
“……… “What happens if you get caught?”
Well, I’m not even a bodyguard.
When you look at Elena from afar, she only appears to be a modest maid.
There was something unusual about the momentum that erupted from time to time.
“My arm was pulled off.”
Her eyes opened wide.
“Elena… “Looks like he was a former bodyguard.”
Current job….
So, she, and not anyone else, is following the young lady around?
“The rumor is that he was from the special forces. “My maid happened to look at my body in the bathhouse and said it was covered in wounds.”
“……… ….”
“What! Therefore, be careful!”
Mr. Yua patted his back and laughed lively.
I trembled with fear when I realized the true nature of the intimidating feeling I sometimes felt when facing Elena.
“Then I’m busy, so I’ll just leave. “I’ll see you later at the restaurant~!”
“……… “Yu, Yua.”
“Hmm?”
I can’t believe he was that kind of person.
Battle Maid.
The arms and legs covered by clothes are full of wounds.
They caught me and tied me up
“Ho, perhaps…” “Do you like cookies?”
“What? “What do you mean?”
“…… “I don’t know either.”
They say they make you confess the truth by torturing you by stuffing cookies into your mouth until your stomach explodes.
What is the torture of a maid like?
Although it wasn’t easy for her to imagine, she seemed to know that she had to be careful.
She mixes poison in cookies.
For today’s meal, I only put something on my plate.
Imagination branches out in many directions.
Shivering with anxiety, I was on high alert.
***
I learned that the boy had stopped by this mansion several times and became friends with the young lady.
What is unknown is the intention.
I couldn’t feel any dark side from him.
Even though she has a girlfriend, she flirts with young ladies. There were countless thugs approaching for property, but the boy didn’t even notice anything.
Rather, he only appears to be an ordinary boy of his age, pure and timid.
At the same time, he continues to take care of the young lady.
While preparing for the cultural festival. No, even before that.
What is the reason for doing so?
Favor that simply comes from innocence?
It is deeper and kinder than that.
I was slowly starting to understand even the circumstances that led to the young lady having feelings for him.
Now she has friends.
We invite them, open our hearts, and have a good time.
If it was that boy who created that situation.
Why did you help the young lady so much?
Even though I thought I had no idea, I opened the oven and took out the pan.
After finishing the screening and having dinner at the restaurant, they were scheduled to return.
I saw a group of people coming out the front door and preparing to return.
The young lady, who had invited her friends to her home for the first time since her childhood, was greeting them one by one with a smile on her face.
I saw him standing behind him talking to Miss Kato.
As if he noticed my gaze, I made a gesture to him who was looking in this direction.
I approached him who probably knew what it meant, but was deliberately pretending not to know.
As my appearance gets closer, I startle and frown slightly.
You are on guard.
I understand why you have such feelings, given the side you have shown so far.
“…… For a moment. “I have something to say.”
“Yes, yes? Me?”
I nodded.
Turn around and leave the entrance. For a moment, in a direction that they cannot see.
With my lips tightly shut, I follow me towards him who is on guard.
“…… Please accept it.”
He held out a small package containing cookies and tied with a ribbon.
The boy’s intentions were unknown, but if the young lady was having a good time because of him, he should express his gratitude as the Shirashi family’s employee and the young lady’s long-time nanny.
That’s what it meant.
His face turned blue when he received the cookie.
“…… “Are you unwell somehow?”
“Oh, no…” At all….”
“If there was a problem with eating….”
“That’s not true. It was absolutely delicious! hahahaha….”
I looked at him forcing a smile.
“I may be presumptuous, but I haven’t prepared anything for other people….”
So, it was meant to be a small token of gratitude only for the boy.
For some reason, he looked tense.
“Oh, yes…” I’ll eat alone… Ahahahaha.”
The boy smiled while hiding it in his arms.
