“That’s it for today’s class.”

The chime rang, and all of today’s classes were over.

“Ha〜 It’s finally over. Let’s go home, Kusuhara.”

I left the lecture room with Sakamaki.

“Another part-time?”

“No, I’m going home.

I’ve been taking a lot of time off these past few days because I’ve been with Towa san.

“I see. Well, that’s not so bad.”

Sakamaki has been acting very timid lately, probably because I broke up with my girlfriend.

It may well have been a shock to Sakamaki as well.

I thought it would be better to go out for a drink and have a good time.

I might even buy him a drink.

As I was walking along thinking about this, I noticed that the students on campus were suddenly starting to make a lot of noise.

“What is it? Some kind of event?”

Sakamaki also sensed what was going on around him and looked around.

However, I did not see anything that looked like an event, nor did I remember hearing of any such plans.

I listen closely to the conversation of the students nearby.

“Hey, hey, hey, isn’t that insane?”

“Eh, what is that? A maid? Cosplay?”

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a student pointing toward the school gate.

“Isn’t she really pretty?”

“Can I take a picture !?”

“Don’t do that, it’s just voyeurism.”

I also looked toward the school gate.

And sure enough, there was a beautiful silver-haired woman in a familiar maid’s uniform—Shirayuki Towa.

“—Itsuki san.”

She was standing upright by the school gate, but when she noticed me, her face lit up.

“Welcome back.”

She bowed politely as she came over to me.

“Eh? Is she with him? Is she a real maid?”

“Oh no, that’s the kind of play you’re into?”

“But it’s pretty perfect considering that, isn’t it? Her movements are so professional ! It’s totally different from what you’d see in a maid cafe ! She’s so pretty and cute !”

“Eh, you go to a maid cafe or something? Your excitement is kind of scary…”

The commotion spread to the other students.

“T-Towa san, why are you here?”

“I had some free time today, so I came to pick you up.”

She smiles, her silver hair shaking. She’s just so cute.

“I-I see.”

“Was it a bother…?”

I can’t resist this superior eye contact.

“N-no no ! It’s not like that ! In fact, I’m happy about it !”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

It is true that I was happy to see Towa san right after the class.

However, I don’t like the idea of ​​Towa san being exposed to curious gazes. She doesn’t seem to mind at all, but it makes me feel uneasy.

“Oh, hey, Kusuhara. What’s going on here? Who is this lovely maid?”

“O-oh, my bad. I’ll introduce you now.”

I should probably tell Sakamaki something.

“This is Shirayuki Towa san.”

To mediate between two people.

“I am Shirayuki Towa, Itsuki san’s maid.”

“K-Kusuhara-‘s maid…!? What on earth happened to cause this…!?”

Sakamaki could not hide his surprise and reacted in an exaggerated manner.

“W-well, I’ll explain it to you later.”

I chuckle, but let it go for now.

“So, this is Sakamaki Keigo. He’s my friend.”

“I’m Sakamaki !”

“Sakamaki san. Pleased to meet you.”

Towa san bowed elegantly as ever.

“Whoa…she’s for real. She’s a real maid. A beautiful woman like this is Kusuhara’s maid…I’m jealous–no, it’s outrageous ! It’s outrageous, Kusuhara !”

Sakamaki is deeply shocked, then becomes angry, but only for a moment, and then he sighs.

“Haa, I see. If you have a maid like that, it’s no wonder you recover so quickly.”

Then, as if he was satisfied, he muttered to himself,

“Umm, well, Shirayuki san….was it?”

He turned to face Towa san in a formal manner.

“Please take good care of Kusuhara !”

Then, he bowed deeply.

“Oh, hey, Sakamaki. What are you doing?“ 

“Just shut your mouth !”

Sakamaki said sharply.

“Thank you very much. Seriously. Please don’t let him be sad again.”

“………Of course.”

Towa san replied in a small voice.

There was a core beauty in her voice.

“I’ve been entrusted with this. As a maid, I will not do anything to disappoint my master.”

“Thank you very much ! Well, I’ll leave you to it then !”

With that, Sakamaki ran off with a satisfied smile on his face and a big wave of his hand.

“Ah ! ! I want a girlfriend too—-! !”

From the distant shadows, such cries could be heard.

No, it’s not my girlfriend, though…..

After that, I walked with Towa san on the way home.

“You have such a good friend.”

“I wonder. He’s just too noisy.“”

”……Fufu.”

Towa san smiles with a somewhat ephemeral look.

–Do you have any family or friends?

–None.

I see, Towa san has no family or even friends……

“Please take good care of me.”

Towa san continues.

“There may be a definitive breakup between lovers. There may be circumstances that force you to break up. But…with your efforts, friendship can remain forever.”

“……Yes, that’s true. Thank you. I feel like I’ve realized something important.”

“I’m a maid, you know. It is my job to guide my master.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

She gives me a bright smile.

“I hope that our relationship will remain unchanged for a long time to come, even after we go out into the world and become adults.”

“Yeah. No, it will. I’m sure.”

I want to be friends with Sakamaki for the rest of my life.

And also with the maid next to me…

I thought it would be nice if I could become something like a family member or a friend to her.
