Damn it! What the hell is wrong with this game?!

I'm getting the same bad ending…. All over again!

I have chosen a variety of routes already…. Seems like I'm stuck into something.

And what was the company thinking when making the game? Prepared a route that end up with killing….

Are you trying to give your customer a trauma?!

Enough of this crap!

I stood up from my pc's chair and laid on the bed.

"Ah…. I'm bored."

Thanks to that crappy game, I have lost my mood to play games any longer.

"What should I do now….? Maybe I will take a nap."

As I closed my eyes for a few seconds….

Bizz*Bizz*

Huh.

Someone's calling…..

Tik*

"Hello."

"Oh~ that was fast for you to pick up the phone."

It was Kaori.

"Makishima-san eh? So, do you have any business? I don't have time to deal with you."

"Ma, don't be stiff. You are free, aren't you?"

"What makes you think so?"

"Sleeping people always free, don't they?"

"What….?"

"You sound sleepy…. Haha, don't tell me you are just awake? It's afternoon already."

"N-no, I was just about to go to sleep!"

"Well, just 'about', so it's the beginning of free time. Come here at waterpark near the town of Chiba."

"Wa-it!"

Tik*

…

"What day is it?"

I looked around and observed a bunch of my belongings. There's a pc still playing the main menu of the recent game, wardrobe, alarm clock and the parcel of the bracelet I just bought in the comicket.

Oh, yea…. I haven't give it to mom yet. But never mind, I will do it later.

I took a calendar standing on my desk and flipped it until I found my current date.

"Oh, it's Monday."

Monday? I think I'm forgetting something important yet not necessary to remember it.

Well, maybe just a promised I just happened to refuse it. Let's just move on.

I changed to my casual attire and headed downstairs.

On my way, I saw mother was watching the television in the living room…. Alone.

"Where's Ayase?" I asked her.

Usually, Ayase will be spending time together with mother during time like this…. And it's weird for me not to be able to see it.

"Oh, she went out to play with her friends." She replied after drinking a glass of ice tea.

"Hm…"

It's rare to see Ayase's out with friends or…. Am I the only one never knows about it?

I need to hand over the bracelet…..

It's in my room...

Nah…. after I get back.

"I'll be going out now."

"Have a nice trip."

Ktack*

Chiba Town, it's not so far away, so I just walked to it…. under the blazing sun.

"It's hot…. Even though it's almost October now."

I'm having hard time here, enduring the heat…. I'd better get something good that worth my time!

….

At the park, I saw people were setting up their equipment for a photo shoot. A photographer was preparing a camera on a stander….. the scenario of the place was modified.

And a few vans were parked near them.

These things which at first, didn't concern me.

Suddenly, a voice whose I might know called for me.

"Aragaki Satoshi-kun!"

I looked around searching for the source of the voice…. it was Fujima Misaki.

She whispered to her assistant for a while and came to greet me.

"Come on. Hurry up."

She grabbed my hand tried to drag me over somewhere else.

"Wa-wait! I'm here for someone else."

"Are? Didn't you promise to come here on this day?"

"Hah?"

Did I? Seriously?

Hm….

"Anyway, do you have some free time next week on Monday?"

"Are you sure? I'm going to show you something interesting, you'll regret if you are not coming."

"I know you will come anyway, if you do. Come at the nearby waterpark from your house. See you"

….

So, it's this day….?

But I got an appointment with Kaori.

"Ah, sorry for that. I can't, I have another business here."

"If you are talking about Makishima-san, it won't be a problem."

"How do you know her?"

"Because I was the one who asked her to persuade you to come here."

Another black conspiracy to trick me….

That woman…. Wasting my time and energy...

"So… what am I going to do now?"

"Get into the van and get changed."

She pointed her finger toward a particular van.

"Get changed….? To what?!"

"Just go, you will know after that."

And so, I did what she asked me to do, getting into the van.

The inner side of the van was packed with many clothes, makeup equipment, wigs and a few chairs and tables.

I randomly met a person…. A woman. I could hardly see her face properly as it was rather dark in here.

"Nice to meet you…. Are you Aragaki Satoshi-san?" she asked me politely.

"Ah… yea."

"Please change into this."

She showed me a hanged well-made black butler outfit. Probably it costs a lot to get it on one's hand.

Why butler..? Do I need to serve somebody?

And it'll be terrible if I were to scratch or torn it.

"Um… what if I accidently ruin the outfit?"

I asked the woman to get a wise confirmation.

"Don't worry, the company will cover for whatever happened."

Good, now I can do the yet to-be-known task that was given to me.

"Then, strip now."

…..

"Eh? Right here?"

"Yea, at ease because the van is an enclosed area."

"N-no, no, no, that's not a problem!"

"Hm?" she asked me with an innocent face.

"I'm a male!" I asserted.

"Oh, don't be ashamed, it's not like you know how to wear this outfit."

Although it's true…..! I'd rather learn to wear it myself instead of letting a woman wear it for me! It's so embarrassing!

"Well then, let's get into it."

She got herself closer to me and forcefully stripped me… with those playful smiles….

"Ah….!?"

I felt like I've been violated….

…

….

I was little bit blushing…. Couldn't tell if my fiery face was noticeable.

"Done."

Lastly, she tied a red ribbon under my neck.

"Next, sit here, I need to do some makeup."

Seeing the prepared full-fledge make up equipment on the table, I asked.

"I've been wondering… are you a makeup artist?"

"Yup, I work for the Eternal Blue."

"I see."

I obediently did as she asked me.

"Close your eyes, you don't want the brush to get into it."

I closed my eyes, felt how the brush was sweeping all over my face…. Suddenly, she paused for a while…. quietly.

"What's wrong?" I asked her while my eyes were closed.

"May I flick over your bang for a moment, it's interrupting the process."

"Oh, I don't mind. Go ahead."

After getting my permission, she did so… but she stopped while her hand stayed still on holding my bang.

Her reaction was the same as Kirara's when she's looking at my uncovered face.

"You are really…." She hummed.

"Could you hurry up?" I asserted her because I was kinda hate it when people do this to me.

"I apologize…." She then continued her work, after clipping my front hair out of the way.

…..

"I'm finished, you may open your eyes now."

I looked myself into the mirror…. Surprisingly, I wasn't my actual normal self.

My hair was combed neatly…. Held using a gel. My face was whiter than usual, quite handsome if we make a closer look…. Almost like a model.

"Is this really me….?"

"Yea, cool isn't it? Hehe."

"Ak… uh… shut up! So, what do I do next?"

"Get down and go meet Fujima-sensei."

"Got it."

…

"Hoo~ You are good as I expected."

Fujima complimented me as soon as I went to meet her.

"Then, what do you want me to do in this disguised model appearance?"

"Come here, I'll introduce you to the photographer."

The moment we approached the photographer, a girl in a dress appeared. At first, it was a girl I wasn't supposed to know as I hardy recognize her.

When I tried to take a closer look, our eyes met. Shocked, she raised her voice.

"Mas….ter?!"

What did I hear? Master? Who is this girl anyway?

Only Kirara would call me… eh wait…

Could it be….?

"Kirara?"

She is not the Kirara I used to see, her hair was freed… revealing her true long hair instead of twintails.

And the high class dark blue dress and perfect heel shoes she's wearing giving me a completely different view and impression.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her surprisingly.

"No idea, I was told by Makishima that I could do something good here to ease my mind."

I quickly turned my head toward Fujima and asked.

"What's the meaning of this?!"

"Ara? Didn't I tell you?"

"No! Never!"

"Well, calm down, you'll be getting into the photo shoot together with her for our magazine…. We're making a special edition of it... The theme is Lady and The Servant. I guarantee you'll be popular."

She proudly explained the details.

That doesn't settle things down!

Let's breathe some air and rethink….

"Just my thought… but, is it Makishima's doing…?"

"That's right, in exchange of persuading you, she asked me to let the girl join the session too."

…..

That means, Makishima had known our problem for a quite time ago and is trying to get us together..?

So, the random farewell smiles were showed to me was actually the sign of "I've set up everything, the rest is up to you."…. kinda like that?

Hm….

Anyway, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone.

"I'm not doing this for nothing right?"

"Of course not, we'll pay you…. How about six?"

"Thousand?"

"Hundred thousand."

Wow, that's quite a lot for just standing there and let your pictures be taken.

"Alright, deal. Let's get started."

I tried to approach Kirara… but she was trying to avoid me.

"..."

Crap, this is yet another problem for me, the last incident might have affected her…. Making her a sulking little girl.

"Okay! Stand right there and make a suitable pose!"

A shout struck from the photographer who was ready to do his job.

I need to do something about this….

So I got myself closer to her.

Seeing me coming, she faced the other way.

I gasped some air, approaching her left ear and whispered.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry…. "

Gulping, I continued,

"—So forgive me."

Barely taking a look at me, she asked,

"Is it… true?"

"Yah… I've repent on what I had done. I swear I'll never make it happen again."

Although I don't know what I was wrong for.

"Then… take responsibility…" she demanded… Pouting childishly.

"How….?"

"You think for yourself."

That's a selfish request… well, let's just see.

Butler… Lady and The Servant….?

…..

I get it!

"How about… for the whole day, I'll accompany you… becoming your faithful butler?"

"…."

She kept quiet, but her body somehow signed me a green light.

"Well, it's decided…. Nice to meet you, ojou-sama."

I pulled her hand gently… and slowly kissed it.

I have no idea why I did this…. Maybe I was just desperate to make up with her.

"Ah… um wha-!"

Kcak*

"That's nice! Keep it up!" the photographer gave us a thumbs-up.

Seemed like our scene had been caught up in the camera…. Without our intention.

"See, what you have done! It's the end…. The embarrassing scene will be published in the magazine!"

"Well, it can't be helped, let's just do it till the end."

She was blushing for a moment….

"Um… I got it… mas….ter."

"I'm the servant right now… just call me Satoshi."

"Alright… Sa… Sa…. Satoshi…." She gradually smiled happily.

"Next, we'll make a normal one. You sit on the prepared lavish chair and I'll just stand beside you."

Kcak*

After that, we did variety type of duet posing…. Normal, elegant, romantic, lovers…. And the last on….

…

"This will the last one! Maybe you both could go for a kiss!"

The photographer gave us his further request to complete this session.

"Wa-wait, wait… a kiss? There's no way…"

I turned my head to look at Kirara.

Her face burnt hot, just like the moment when she kissed my forehead.

"It's okay…. I can do… that…" she whispered, looking at the ground.

Ugh… are you sure…? I'll be taking your first kiss you know?

….

"…."

"If anything happen… I won't any longer take the responsibility…."

Our face… was getting closer to each other… while our hand was gently hugging opposite's body…..

I could feel her red lips was about to touch mine…. Getting our heart to beat even faster than normal.

And… we kissed.

"..."

….

Kcak* Kcak* Kcak*

Our pictures were taken continuously… for at least one minute.

…...

"….."

"….."

"Alright! That was nice! Good work! We'll end it here!"

….

"I'm sorry… for letting your first kiss fell on this inhuman person."

"Um, um" she shook her head twice, then she continued.

"It's okay…. I'm actually, kinda happy…. And you are nice person since you have repent on what you had done."

"Oh, really? I regret letting mine lost to you."

"Mean!"

And thus, we got ourselves like in the back then… while laughing "hahaha" together…. Grateful for the relationship we had made up.

It took quite a lot of time to finish up the photo shoot.

"Good work you two."

Suddenly, Fujima came to us while the other staffs were packing up their equipment.

"Good, may I get my payment and go home now?"

"No, wait. It's not done yet."

"What!?"

"That just one session… there's another to be performed."

I'm pretty tired right now…. Even just standing still with a girl.

She took out her phone and said.

"Wait for a moment, I'll send a manager and a driver for you guys because I have other works to be settled off."

"Nah, no… don't worry, just send us the driver and the schedule… I'll manage it myself."

"Eh… are you sure?"

"Yea…. Don't underestimate me, I could at least do an adult's job."

"Well then, I'll put my trust on you."

Tik* Tik*

Her phone was dialed to call someone…. Maybe her subordinates.

While she was busy talking to them, I talked to Kirara.

"Are you alright?"

"Yea… I'm used to it."

"I doubt you'll be changing to a different outfit at least for this day."

"Don't mind me… but are really sure that you could manage us properly?"

All her worries, caused me to boast myself.

"Heh, like I said, it'll be trouble if someone is underestimating me…. I could do the job. I'll show you how 'butler' does his work for his ojou-sama."

…..

Silence…

Tik*

Fujima had done her calling.

"The driver will be here soon… and here the schedule."

She handed me a few pieces of paper clipped together that were given by one of the staff.

"Let's see…."

Are you serious… we will almost never have any break time… no…. I think not at all… until midnight.

It's not like we'll be traveling, just stay in the same building… wearing a different clothes.

"How about it? Do you think you could do it?"

"I'll try somehow…. By the way, is it alright to capture a kiss scene, I mean, it's for the teen magazine right?"

"I told you that this will be a special edition, no problem."

"I see…."

"Good, I'll leave now, bye!"

Fujima left the scene with her car.

After a couple of minutes of waiting, a car arrived to pick us up.

"Is this Aragaki Satoshi-san and Hoshino Kirara-sana?" the driver came to get us.

"Yea."

"Please get in the car. Which is the next location?"

I checked the schedule twice, it's now almost 6 p.m.

"Eternal Blue Company Studio….."

"Understood."

…..

In the car….

"Say, driver-san, what is this studio?" Kirara asked.

Eye on the road, the driver replied,

"Oh, it's the place for the models to perform their jobs…. It's quite convenient since they've prepared the outfit they wanted to promote in the magazine."

After 15 minutes of driving…. Finally we arrived at the building….

Not to mention… it's a huge building I'd ever entered to.

"Is this their Headquarter?" I asked the driver before getting off the ride.

"That's not it, maybe I could say…. It's just the representative for the real Headquarter in Europe."

How big is that I wonder?

….

As soon as we entered….

"Oh! You are here! Must be Aragaki-san and Hoshino-san?"

We were welcomed by a female staff.

"Yea."

"Please come this way."

And so we followed the staff deeper into the building…. Going inside the studio for a photographing.

Ktack*

"Please change into these!"

"…."

There were at least 30 sets of butler and lady outfit.

"Do I need to get changed on each of this….?"

"Yeah and we need to finish it by today. The way to wear it may have you known it?"

"No problem."

I've the idea on how to wear the butler outfit by observing the earlier process. It's not really that complicated, almost as the same as usual working clothes.

"Please change now, I'll help Hoshino-san instead."

…

"May I ask….?"

"Um?"

"Here?"

"Yup, what's wrong?"

"…."

"Ohh! Sorry, we've only this changing room that is the nearest to the studio. Usually, we only pick models amongst girls, just today, it's an exceptional. We have no other different changing room. You may use the corner side of the room… it'll block the sight."

With risks…

After we changed into our second outfit, the staff left us for a couple of few minutes before starting the next session.

Mine was actually the same as the last one I wore… except it's white. For Kirara's, totally different, colour and design.

"Say, Satoshi…."

"What is it ojou-sama?"

"The midnight, will be the end of our master servant relationship right?"

"Probably."

"I want you to accompany me as Aragaki Satoshi, could you?"

What's with that twisted words?

"Sure, it's still a day off tomorrow."

"Hm…." She nodded slowly.

Ktack*

"Get ready now!"

"Coming…. Let's go Satoshi." She looked at me and held my hand.

…

We continued our once in a lifetime job… a perfect miraculous event that was set up just for us.

Until…. Midnight, as planned, it had ended.

We received our payment… the value was high as promised.

…..

It's cold… but not cold as winter night. At the time, Kirara and I were strolling around in the city of Chiba in our casual clothes.

Hardly seeing any other people….

And the train for the day had stopped being operated.

"What should we do now? The transport isn't available for now."

"I don't know…."

"You might want to contact your parent… especially that father of yours."

"Don't worry, Kurara must have done something."

As for mine, I have messaged them beforehand… so no worries.

I looked around….

And saw a hotel…. Full of light as it's welcoming their customers.

"How about we rent a hotel?"

"Wha-wha-what are you thinking!?"

"Finding a place to sleep tonight….?"

"Ah… oh….." she lowered her voice.

Her face became red… embarrassed on what had she said.

"Heh, what were you thinking? Dirty minded."

"It-it's not like that, master who the one said weird thing!"

Is staying in a hotel weird?

Seriously, I merely want to let my body rest…. It's so tiring.

"Anyway, let's just rent for a night."

"Okay."

And so, we went for a rent in a hotel. Probably a four stars hotel cause the fee is quite expensive.

Ktack*

Two single beds... Great, now I can sleep peacefully without worrying a girl who will be sleeping together.

We went straight for a sleep…. A bed for each.

At least for me, I avoided making any conversation altogether. However, since we entered the room, Kirara's eyes had been wandering restlessly.

When I was about to fall asleep, I felt my blanket was moving as some other person was trying to sleep beside me.

It's dark in here... as the lamp had been switched off.

So, I don't know who's doing that.

The only person could do it is...I think it's Kirara…..

"Wh-what are you doing?" I shouted in a whisper.

I could feel her hands were slowly clinging on my body.

"Master…."

"Ha?"

My heart is beating even faster.

"I…"

What is she trying to say?

"…."

"I love you."
