Chapter 62: Soothed by the Maid from Morning
“Master, please wake up. Master?”
“…Uah?”
I was shaken and called out, and I woke up. I felt like I made a pretty silly noise, but my attention was drawn more to Arisa, who was in front of me.
“…Maid-san.”
“Yes, I am your maid.”
She placed her hands just below her stomach and bowed neatly while saying so. Although her outfit was a maid uniform that I was already used to seeing, it was still uncommon in general. I often saw that she maintained it well, so there were no loose threads or anything like that in it.
“Is today one of those days?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what you mean. I am your faithful maid, Master. Please do not mistake me for a maid playing with her master.”
“You just said it.”
I chuckled at Arisa’s dignified expression.
“Let’s get going then.”
I got out of bed and left the room. I was pretty sure Sakuna-san was working today but Aina should be here, so she should be seeing Arisa like this too. Or rather, come to think of it, seeing Arisa’s maid outfit has become quite common in our home lately.
When I headed towards the living room, Aina was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
“Oh, good morning Hayato-kun.”
“Good morning, Aina.”
After exchanging greetings with Aina, Arisa passed by us and stood in the kitchen. She started preparing breakfast as if it was just a normal routine.
“Arisa, I can help you…”
“There is no way I can let my Master help me. Please wait.”
“…I understand.”
Yeah, she’s totally become a maid.
I sighed softly and sat down next to Aina. Then, Aina, who was watching Arisa’s behavior, spoke up.
“She looks good in that maid outfit, doesn’t she?”
“She really does.”
We both looked at Arisa again.
Although the design was the same as before, it was a long skirt type, probably because it was winter. The mini skirt maid outfit was very cute and s**y, but the long skirt emphasized her pureness, and so it suited her even more.
“My sister acts like a person with common sense, but I think she’s second only to Mom in terms of jumping off the deep end. After all, she said she wants to be Hayato-kun’s slave for life.”
“…Y-yeah.”
A slave, huh… which means she wants to serve me.
Arisa seems to be thinking about something heavy, willing to dedicate her life to serving me, living for me, and even dying for me. At first, I was perplexed by how strongly she felt, but now I’m actually happy about it.
Of course, I’ve never thought of Arisa as a slave. She has always been a valuable woman to me. When she wears her maid outfit, well… I try my best to become the person she wants me to be.
“By the way, Hayato-kun.”
“…What is it?”
Aina was looking at me with a very smug expression.
She glanced back at Arisa again.
“Don’t you feel anything when you look at Nee-san?”
“Huh?”
I also looked back at Arisa, but I couldn’t see anything strange about her as she stood in the kitchen making breakfast as usual… Has she changed in any way?
“Hahaha, I guess you won’t notice. Well, it was my idea anyway♪”
“I’m really curious now.”
“Why don’t you come closer and see for yourself?”
“Okay.”
I approached Arisa.
“Master? Is there something you need?”
“…No, just keep doing what you were doing.”
“? Understood.”
Oh, she’s wearing her hair in a ponytail today. She looks cute… No, that’s not it. Aina still seemed to be having fun looking at me. I observed Arisa, but I couldn’t see anything unusual.
“…Hmm~?”
Arisa’s brisk and efficient cooking really reminds me of the maids I’ve seen in manga and anime. Well, I know that everyone in her family is good at cooking and housework, but it’s really picturesque.
“…!?”
“Arisa?”
As I was thinking that, Arisa suddenly stopped what she was doing and took a posture as if sticking out her butt. She trembled for a moment, but then quickly returned to her housework.
“Haa…fuu… Master? Please stay by Aina’s side…uhh…please.”
No, something’s definitely off.
Her cheeks are a little red, and her eyes are even slightly watery. I thought she might be feeling sick or something, but that wasn’t it. It was because Aina was smiling even more deeply…?
“Ah, noo…!”
And then she trembled violently again. It was a troubled voice that sounded unusual even when she was just doing something normal. I crouched down on the spot and listened carefully. And then, I could hear a subtle mechanical sound.
“Arisa”
“Y-yes…”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
From now on, I shouldn’t do this with other women, not that I would ever do it in front of anyone else. After seeing Arisa nod in agreement, I lifted up her skirt.
“…This?”
“Ahaha! You found it♪”
“Aina, I told you not to push it too hard!!”
I should have understood what these two were talking about.
But I didn’t say anything on purpose. I guess there was just a scientific mystery lurking beyond the unexplored area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“…Phew, it wasn’t so bad, but doing household chores is tough.”
“Well, of course.”
We finished breakfast, and now Arisa and I were alone in my room. She was still in her maid outfit, but she had already returned to her usual demeanor.
“I must punish such a bad maid like you!”
“Please forgive me, master… Please give this lewd female some punishment.”
I just lightly tapped her head to stop her.
Aina was having fun the whole time, and Arisa was pouting with dissatisfaction… Arisa had really come a long way.
“Hayato-kun, you know, I’m happiest when I’m serving you.”
“Arisa?”
She continued, resting her head on my shoulder while sitting beside me.
“I love our usual way of life, of course. But I really want to do anything for you, Hayato-kun. Even if it means being treated in any way, I want to be yours alone. Forever.”
“…That’s a heavy burden.”
“Ara, Hayato-kun, yet it seems like you accept me for who I am.”
“There’s no other choice but to accept you. Because you’ve become so important to me, Arisa.”
…Well, even though it’s a bit heavy, or rather, that aspect of hers is very attractive to me at my age, so I’m not really complaining.
“…Yes♪”
Thank you for the lovely smile.
Well, since she’s in a maid outfit, it would be a waste not to do anything special. So, I asked Arisa to sit on the floor from the bed and give me a knee pillow.
“Arisa, can I ask you to clean my ears?”
“Oh… um, okay, leave it to me.”
I tasted a very happy moment as my beloved girlfriend cleaned my ears. During that very pleasant time, I had in my hand something with a switch that I had received from Aina.
“…I’ve never seen anything like this before, it’s kind of strange.”
I knew there were toys like this, but it was my first time seeing one. On a whim, I flicked the switch up… At that moment, a pain ran through my ears so intense that I thought the Spear of Longinus had pierced them.
“Ow!?”
“Kyaan!?”
…Yeah, Arisa did nothing wrong. It’s all my fault. That’s for sure… So, Arisa, please don’t cry!
