Chapter 25 – I Want Master With Me
Saturday morning.
I woke up to the alarm on my smartphone and started making breakfast.
“…Yosh.”
The rice is cooked, the tamagoyaki is done, the miso soup and grilled salmon are done. The natto is also ready. I made the boiled greens with little effort.
Now that breakfast is done, it’s about time…
I headed to the room and woke up Hinano, who was peacefully sleeping in her tracksuit.
“Hey, wake up. Breakfast’s ready.”
“…Nnn.”
“Hurry up and get changed and wash your face.”
“…Mhmm…”
While Hinano was getting ready for the morning, I hung out the clothes and underwear for both myself and Hinano, which were packed in a laundry basket, on the balcony.
At first, just looking at Hinano’s underwear made me nervous, but now I don’t feel anything.
The laundry is done at almost the same time that Hinano comes into the living room.
“Here, a big serving of rice.”
“Hmmm.”
As usual, Hinano yawned loudly, looking sleepy as she started to eat.
I served myself some rice, sat across from Hinano, and we both put our hands together before eating.
“…Today’s tamagoyaki is delicious, Master.”
“Yeah, I’m pretty confident about this one.”
“Yeah. It looks nice too. Hmm. This is a pretty high score. I’ll give it 95 points.”
“Wow, that’s a pretty high score. Actually, this is the highest score I’ve ever gotten.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I got a low score last time, so I managed to get my revenge.”
We laughed and ate our breakfast together.

“But wait, isn’t this weird?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“In the morning, I make dinner, I wake you up, I hang out the laundry… Well, laundry is my role, so it’s fine, but other than that, weren’t you supposed to do it for me?”
“…Master. This is for your own good. I’m doing this to improve your life skills… I understand. I’ll start working properly from now on, so please put your phone down right now. What are you planning to do? You’re not going to call Genichiro-sama, are you?”
She’s so understanding, that’s a relief.
Just as I was satisfied with Hinano’s answer, I got a message from Mayu.
“Hey, Master?! Why are you picking up your phone again?!”
Perhaps she thought I was going to contact my grandfather, and in a genuine panic, she reached out to take my phone.
“Hey, calm down. I was just looking at a message from Kohinata.”
“…Kohinata-san?”
Hinano looked at me with blank eyes.
“What is it?”
“Recently, haven’t you been messaging with Kohinata-san all the time?”
“Yeah, maybe. I feel like she’s been messaging me every day since we exchanged contact information…”
“…Hmm. Every day, I see… Every day.”
Why are you so hung up on that?
“…Master has been getting flirty lately, hasn’t he? What is it? Are you aiming for a harem?”
“…Huh?”
She gave me a sullen look and started saying things I couldn’t understand.
“During lunch break, you have fun with Tsukishima-san and Kohinata-san in the student council room, and at home, with me! You’re always surrounded by beautiful girls and getting pampered! Isn’t that a harem?!!”
“Huh?”
Wait, hold on. I’m being pampered by Reika and you? Me?
Far from being pampered, I’m being pushed around by you two…
“…Stop saying stupid things and eat quickly.”
I brushed it off and Hinano grumbled in dissatisfaction as she continued to eat.
“…Hah.”
Then, suddenly, she sighed next to me. I should be the one sighing here…
“……”
What’s going on? Why is she so fidgety? Why does she keep glancing at me?
“…Hah.”
This time, the sigh was louder than before.
“Oh come on!! You’re supposed to be asking me what’s wrong here!! You’re supposed to ask, you know!!”
“What’s wrong?”
“…Well, fine then.”
Hinano looked at me with a clearly dissatisfied look on her face.
“Actually, I was called out by a senior in the third year after the break… I tried to refuse, but he was really persistent…”
Hinano looked smug for some reason.
“I see. Anyway, you have plans to go out this afternoon, right?”
“Wait!! That’s it?! Did you not hear what I said?!! Master, please take at least some interest in me!”
“Haha… So what about the confession?”
I tried to laugh it off, but Hinano gave me a menacing look, so I decided to continue the conversation.
“I want Master to be there at the confession scene.”
“…Why?”
“Well, the senior who’s going to confess is known for being pretty aggressive… and if I reject him, he might get angry and do something to me…”
“When and where will he confess?”
This girl… she should have told me about this earlier. Who’s this person? I think I’ve seen a character like that in the NTR villain characters.
“O-okay… I’m surprised Master is suddenly so eager to help…”
The moment she said this, her eyes widened as if she had realized something.
“Eh~? Eh, eh, eh~~?”
Hinano looked at me with a grin.
“Perhaps Master is worried about me? Seriously, Master… you love me too much, don’t you~?”
“Yeah. I’m actually pretty worried, so don’t make fun of me and just tell me.”
“…Ah, yes. Is that so…?”
Why are you embarrassed?
“Seriously… it’s because things like this that I…”
“Did you just say something?”
“…It’s nothing!”
