“……Okay.”
In the evening after college classes.
I had come to my ex-girlfriend’s room.
I made sure no one was around and put down her belongings that had been left behind in my room.
“I had made my peace with that.”
From behind the thin door, mixed with the once familiar voice, came the voice of a man I didn’t know.
☆
[ [Cheers !] ]
In the evening, he went with Sakamaki to an izakaya.
It was an apology for making him worry about his girlfriend’s breakup.
At the same time, it was also a sign of a slight change in my mindset.
–The relationship of friendship can be maintained forever through Itsuki’s efforts.
I want to maintain a good relationship with Sakamaki even when we grow up.
“Phew ! So good !”
After downing half of the large mug in a single gulp, Sakamaki grunts with a satisfied smile on his face.
“But was it okay to leave the maid behind?”
“I told Towa san clearly. She wants the two of us to have fun together.”
“I see. Then I’ll have to enjoy the maid san’s share of the fun too !”
“Yeah. Cheers !”
We clinked glasses again for no reason.
“Yay ! !”
The quiet time spent with Towa san can only be described as the best.
But sometimes, a noisy time with just the guys is not so bad.
I feel bad for Towa san, who will be alone in the room, but I’ll make the most of it as Sakamaki said. I won’t drink too much and I’ll go home early.
“So, the last mixer I went to was a complete failure. I wonder where on earth I can find a beautiful blonde woman who will understand me.”
“That’s……just as unlikely as ever as long as you’re in Japan for now…….”
It’s a strange thing for me to say, living with a silver-haired beauty.
“I see. That’s right. I guess it’s the world after all. The world is waiting for me !”
Sakamaki exclaimed, and then he turned up the heat and started to drink.
For a while, we talked like idiots, and the time passed.
Then, just as we were getting into the swing of things, Sakamaki asked me.
“…So? How is it really going?”
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t it obvious !? It’s about your relationship with the maid ! It’s so important !”
Sakamaki was staring at me with fixed eyes. He was completely finished. But his eyes were somewhat serious.
“Well, she’s a maid. Towa san said so too, she’s just a maid.”
I said, raising my hands.
Actually, I wanted to talk about this too.
I wanted Sakamaki to ask me about it, because I couldn’t do it by myself.
“I know that. But that’s not what I meant…”
Sakamaki grabbed the beer mug with a gulp and poured down his second or third beer.
“Hey, aren’t you drinking too much?”
“That’s not the point !”
He slams the mug down with the same vigor with which he grabbed it.
“What do you think ! Kusuhara ! What do you want to do with the maid?”
“……!”
Sakamaki grabs me by the shoulders and looks me straight in the eye.
He is appealing to me with his gaze, saying that he will not tolerate lies and deception.
And there is no onlooker spirit in these words, he is really thinking of me.
That’s why I’m glad to be friends with Sakamaki, and I want to continue to be that way. Right now I’m always worrying about him, but I also want to be of help to him someday.
I also drank the entire contents of my mug in one gulp.
Then, with my head still hot, I spoke.
“…I’m in love with Towa san. I honestly want to be her lover.”
“Well said.”
Sakamaki chuckled.
By putting it into words, I was finally able to solidify my heart.
“Oh, thank you.”
“It’s nothing, dumbass.”
The relationship between maid and master is certainly comfortable right now. If it were to break down, the maid would simply disappear. There would be no need to go through that pain again.
I’m just happy and relieved to be able to be devoted to her.
If she becomes my lover, maybe the sadness will only swell when we break up someday.
Maybe she is not looking for that kind of relationship as a maid.
But with Towa san……
I want to take that feeling one step further.
I made that decision tonight.
