Chapter 2 - The Master

So, Suzuki Ashori and Takahashi Jasene became friends. Jasene was telling Ashori what it was like to be a butler since she was so interested in it. Can't blame her though, since her 'dream' finally came true, a real life butler had appeared in front of her, how could she just let it go and not know anything about it.

Both of them were just hanging out and talking.

"Hey Ashori, do you want to see the mansion?"

"What mansion?"

"You know, the mansion I always talk to you about? The awesome, breathtaking, enormous, huge, wonderful mansion… Ring a bell?"

"Really?!"

Ashori looked really excited while staring straight at Jasene.

"Sure, I don't think it will be a problem."

"Then, what are you waiting for, Jasene? Come on, come on, let's go!"

Ashori then pulled Jasene's arm. Jasene then brought Ashori to his master's mansion.

"Here we are!"

"Wow!"

Ashori's opened her eyes and mouth big.

"Careful, there's a fly there."

Ashori quickly covered her mouth with her hands while Jasene was laughing. They both went inside the mansion and Jasene brought Ashori to the mansion's living room.

"Wait here for a moment…"

"Okay…"

Jasene went somewhere and Ashori was waiting in the living room while admiring the things inside the mansion. Then suddenly someone came down from the stairs.

"So, you must be the new maid."

Ashori was kind of shock when she heard this.

"What? Maid?"

"I'm your master. My name is Akasite Kuyoki. Here's your maid uniform, go try it on, I think this size should suit you."

"Um…There must be some kind of misunderstanding. I'm Jasene's…"

"Yes, yes, Jasene brought you here! Now quickly go and change, walk straight in this hallway and you will see a dressing room on your right, you would not miss it."

Ashori looked at the maid uniform and walked to the dressing room as she was told.

"I guess it would not hurt if I just try it on…"

When she was done putting on the maid uniform, she went back to the living room where Ashori's so called 'master', Akasite Kuyoki was.

"Perfect! And now you will…"

"Ashori!"

Jasene looked shocked and blushed at the same time seeing Ashori in a maid uniform.

"Jasene!"

Ashori felt relieved now that Jasene came back.

"Master! Ahh… she's not the maid, she's just a friend that I brought here to visit the mansion!"

"Really?! Ohh, that's such a waste and wow Jasene, this is the first time you brought a girl over to my mansion! Are you sure she's just a friend and not your girlfriend?"

"Geez, shut up, master…"

Jasene blushed and looked away while Kuyoki grinned at him.

"So, Ashori, hearing that it was what Jasene called you just now, would you like to consider being my maid?"

"Me? Your maid?"

"Yes! Your salary will be 100,000 yen a month!"

"What? 100,000 yen? Are you kidding me?"

"I never kid, Ashori-chan."

Both Ashori and Jasene looked at each other.

"What are you both staring at? So, is it a yes or no, Ashori?"

"Can… I go home and think about it first?"

"Sadly no, sorry. You'll have to decide it here and now."

"Jasene, what should I do?"

"It's okay, Ashori. You can make any choice you wish. You can just say n…"

"Alright then, I'll do it!"

"What?! Ashori, are you sure about this?"

"Yes!"

"Then, it is decided! Welcome to my mansion, Ashori! You can call me master or Kuyoki. Jasene will show you around the mansion. He can't stop blushing looking at you since you look remarkably cute in that maid uniform!"

"Master Kuyoki!"

Jasene blushed more.

"Thank you, master."

Ashori smiled sweetly at Kuyoki and now it was his turn to blush.

"Ha, master, I'm not the only one here thinks that Ashori's cute."

Kuyoki scoffed and turned his back to hide his blushing face.

"Say whatever you like, Jasene. I have some errands to run, catch you guys later."

Kuyoki went off and Jasene showed Ashori around the mansion.

"Stay close to me, Ashori. This mansion is really big, and you can get lost easily if you don't know the way. Once a robber came in here and got lost in this mansion."

"Really?! Okay."

"So, Ashori, I have to ask, why did you decided to take this job?"

"Well, firstly, I get to spent more time with you and secondly this could be fun and a life experience for me too."

"Oh… That's true. Actually, which high school are you studying again?"

"Is Jusori High School."

"Mine's Asoni High School."

"Asoni High School? Isn't that really far away?"

"Yeah…"

"Where did you live again?"

"Here."

"Right… Well, wouldn't it be great if we're studying in the same school?"

"Yeah…"

Coincidently, Kuyoki, their master overheard their conversation and grinned.

"If this is what they want..."
