Maid’s advice

“Welcome, home”

“……I’m home”

Maria welcomed me as usual when I got home.

“? You look tired.
What happened?”

“No, it’s nothing… just the class was――”

I tried to say the boys in my class were strange but I stopped since that must be the common sense in this world.
The strange one was only me.

“No, nothing”

“… Is that so? If you give me the order, I will take it down no matter what, so please do not hesitate to ask.”

What is this maid going to do? Here isn’t jungle you know? How can I easily ask you if you scare me like this…

“Kohaku-sama, you have received a letter.”

“Hmm? Ah, Thank you”

There was no postmark on the received letter. 

I hesitated to tear it randomly since it was a beautifully decorated envelope.

“Minakatain-sama came to deliver it to Kohaku-sama.”

Maria said so and offered a paper knife.

I opened the seal with the paper knife and read the letter.

『”Dear Kohaku Hatano-kun,

With the fresh early summer, the greenery of the trees is getting deeper and deeper in color day by day. I hope you are in good health. 

It’s been many days since I met you the other day, and I feel that my heart has been torn apart by the loneliness of not being able to meet you. The sight that comes to my mind every day is a room in the school where I met you. Just because you are there, that ordinary room turns into a heavenly paradise――”』

…..
Too long. It’s just too long. 

I looked away up from the letter once, rubbed my eyes to get rid of tiredness, and looked down again. And this time, I read the letter to the end.

“…..I see.”

“May I ask what kind of content is it?”

“Invitation to a dinner.”

Maria’s eyes were on my hand holding the letter.

“….There seem to be 5 sheets though?”

“It was written with a great variety of expressions and passionate feelings.”

“In other words, there is too much bullshit… I mean, unnecessary words there…”

Don’t say it clearly, please!

“But for her to spell out the overflowing feelings without hesitation, I’ll give some good points for her there.”

…I see, she approached with the preparedness to be not liked by me, is that it?… Hmm, but I think this person is writing this without thinking that much though? I think it’s just her nature…

“Kohaku-sama, when is the date?”

“Well, it looks like it’s scheduled for 8 o’clock on the weekend.
If I’m OK with that, “please contact me”, what is written here.”

“Weekend……”

Well, for now, I’m OK with it, so should I contact her now.

Then, I heard Maria’s strong voice.

“Where is it?”

“It says Hotel Arcadia”

“Kohaku-sama, Should I get rid of the sender?”

“Why!?”

“Miyabi Minakatain-sama is aiming for Kohaku-sama’s chastity.
Probably, that bitch is going to take it with this date as the pretext.”

…bitch…

“Speaking of Hotel Arcadia, it’s a hotel run by Minakatain group, and it’s one of the best five in the world.
This also shows that bitch seriousness.”

Maria appealed to me with a serious expression.

“I’m sure the plan is like this.
At the restaurant on the hotel’s top floor, where you can see a beautiful night view and enjoy the food prepared by a first-class chef, it’ll release Kohaku-sama’s alertness.”

…..For the time being, I kept listening quietly to Maria’s complaint, as she would likely get angry if I were to disturb her in the middle.

“Kohaku-sama is so pure after all.
So, you’ll start to love Miyabi Minakatain because of the romantic night view and atmosphere.
She doesn’t miss the chance.
And she’ll quietly say, “I’ve got a VIP Room booked”.
Then, even though Kohaku-sama may be surprised at the words, Kohaku-sama will shyly nod.”

Am I that easy?…

“This is what you called, “To be swept away by the atmosphere”.”

Maria proudly made a conclusion, but her facial expression didn’t change.

“…I think, it’s okay, though.”

“I see, your pride doesn’t allow you to run away, isn’t it? As expected of Kohaku-sama.
But, the opponent is one of the four great aristocrats, who have various experiences, in short, a crafty sly fox.
Please be careful about drugs.
Also, please bring the tear spray.”

“Ah, okay.”

Maria nodded with satisfaction at my words.

“Then I’ll change my clothes.”

“Yes, today’s dinner is grilled mackerel and chicken stew with vegetables.”

“Urghh…”

◆◆◆◆◆

Maria muttered while watching Kohaku who was going up the stairs.

“… But, it’s strange.”

Why did the invitation from Minakatain family go so smoothly? In Kohaku-sama’s class, there is someone from Toukain and Seikagu families. And Kohaku-sama has a close relationship with both families. Why did both families allow the invitation?

“… Did they join hands?”

It makes more sense to work together to take down Kohaku-sama’s heart than to interfere with each other.

“Well, either one is fine.”

As long as Kohaku-sama feels happy, I’m also happy. But, if Kohaku-sama gets hurt, I will get rid of them.

Maria concluded so.
