"Kanae-chan! Let's go get ice cream!" Masaki exclaimed as she burst into the kitchen. The Ishida family gave a majority of the staff the week off as they went on their family vacation. There were only two maids and a butler minding the mansion.
Katagiri put away the last piece of silverware as Masaki came over and grabbed hold of her hands with excitement. She energetically described the new café opened downtown and revealed that there was a special deal going on with the pastry menu.
While the thought sounded tempting, there were still chores to be done around the mansion. Like cleaning up the study room and washing the floor of the foyer.
"Please, Kanae-chan? It's summer break!" Masaki pouted as if she knew what the maid was thinking. "And I'll even help you clean!"
"Masaki-sama!" Katagiri shook her head. "There's no need for you to help me. It's my duty."
"And you need to relax a little! Everyone needs to take a break, you included!" Masaki said as she tugged her friend with her out of the kitchen. "The café even has crème puffs, and I know you like crème puffs!"
Knowing that she was defeated, Katagiri smiled a little. "Okay then."
"Awesome!" Masaki posed with a quick victory sign and dashed off to get changed. "I'll meet you at the door. Oh! I hope you don't mind if Isshin is coming though!"
Kanae blinked. Isshin?
-.-
AN: I'm in the mood for some light-hearted writing, so Isshin is going to make an appearance again… And I could use a bucket of ice cream right about now though.
