Chapter 1 - The Butler
Suzuki Ashori was walking home from school while reading shoujo mangas. She loved reading them and she really hoped that her life would be like one of those main characters in the mangas but she knew that this was the reality and it would never happen. While thinking about that, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and she accidently bumped into a girl.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Obviously…"
"Hey, how dare you bump into my sister?"
"I...I just accidentally bumped into her, I'm so sorry..."
"You..."
The girl's brother was about to raise his hand to hit Ashori, Ashori quickly shut her eyes tight. At that very moment, a guy came to her rescue and grabbed hold of the girl's brother's hand.
"Sir, what do you think you're doing to this lady?"
"It's none of your business, brat! Who the hell do you think you are?!"
"I'm her butler."
"Wha? Her butler? You must be kidding me! Let go of my hand, you brat!"
The girl's brother suddenly grabbed hold of the guy's collar. Without flinching or being scared, the guy just flipped the girl's brother over.
"Ouch! You...!"
"What? Do you want more?"
The guy glared at the girl's brother.
"Le...Let's go, sis!"
Ashori was looking at the guy who saved her, she was amazed and speechless at the same time.
"Are you alright, Miss? Are you hurt?"
That guy held out a hand to help Ashori to get up.
"I'm... I'm alright. Thanks..."
Ashori was still in shocked at what happened just now. Ashori then got up with the help of that guy.
"Thanks..."
"How many times are you going to thank me?"
That guy smiled at Ashori. That guy's smile was so cute that it charmed Ashori. Now looking closely, that guy seemed quite attractive too. Suddenly, something came to Ashori's mind.
"Hold on, are… are you really a butler?"
"err… I… err…"
"My name is Suzuki Ashori, you can call me Ashori. What's yours?"
Ashori smiled at the guy while putting out a hand.
"Mine is Takahashi Jasene, you can call me Jasene. Nice to meet you, Ashori-chan."
Jasene smiled at Ashori while shaking her hand.
"Wow! You ARE a butler, aren't you?"
"Who… Who told you that I was a butler?"
Jasene pretended he didn't say it and looked away.
"You just said it yourself when you came for my rescue and you are pretty good at fighting too. So who is you master?"
Ashori got excited and kept on pressing Jasene about it and soon he felt defeated and he gave in to Ashori.
"Okay, okay, please don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
Jasene held both of his hands together while looking down, begging Ashori.
"I won't tell anyone about it. I'll keep your secret!"
"Thank you so much! I've always protected my master so I guess I accidently let the cat out of the bag just now!"
"It's okay! I've always wanted to meet a butler and now I finally had the chance."
"Really? Haha, thanks."
Jasene then scratched his head while looking a bit bashful. Suddenly Ashori came closer and whispered to him that cause Jasene to blush.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me."
