"We just parted this morning, and here we are meeting again at night." "Saki, you really have a knack for getting into trouble. How many times is this now? Do you have to be this unlucky?" "And coming to Tokyo alone without calling me... it's not like you don't have my number..."
Alex nagged the whole way, while Saki followed quietly behind him, her hand in his. Her smile was hidden in the dark, but she didn't find him annoying at all; she could feel his concern for her.
Meeting Alex really was the best thing that ever happened to her. Being by his side made her the happiest person in the world.
After a long silence, Saki saw the boy smack his lips as if he were thirsty, and she asked cautiously, "Alex, I... I was just afraid..."
"Afraid? Afraid of what?" He was confused.
"I was afraid you would... you would hate me," Saki said in a soft, vulnerable voice like a small animal. "I didn't dare tell you what happened."
"...You Japanese people are such a hassle. The ones being bullied are the same. What is there to be afraid of? As for hating you," Alex pinched her soft, collagen-filled cheek. It felt great. "How could I ever hate you, Saki?"
"Alex..." Saki couldn't help herself; her blue eyes shimmered in the dark, and she wanted to kiss him again.
"It's your parents' problem," Alex growled, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. "Don't worry. I'll settle the score with them properly."
As they talked, they arrived at the apartment building. Alex didn't plan on taking Saki to the house yet; the apartments Mila had given him were perfect for staying, and she wouldn't be lonely with Akari and Tsubaki there.
"Master," the girl in the maid outfit waiting at the glass doors bowed when she saw Alex. "Dinner is ready."
Master? Saki wondered if this girl was like the ones at school—one of Alex's... well, she felt different. A maid outfit? She must be Alex's actual maid. And her eyes were fixed on Alex; she hadn't looked at Saki once. This maid seemed very devoted to him.
Saki began to brainstorm. Alex surely had many women and close friends in Tokyo. This maid was likely one of them...
"Good. Saki hasn't eaten yet, so let's all go. You'll stay here from now on. I'll have Tsubaki buy you some daily necessities later," Alex said, then tapped his head as he remembered the introduction. "This is Tsubaki Rurikawsa, my maid."
"Master's exclusive maid," Tsubaki corrected, finally looking at Saki. She took in the nervous girl and gave a friendly nod. "Hello."
"Ah, hello—" Her aura was strong, even stronger than the gyarus at school, but not overbearing. Saki responded clumsily. Alex led them through the automatic doors and into the elevator. "This is Saki Yoshida. I met her in Kyoto. She's my woman."
Saki blushed. The maid didn't make things difficult for her, which made Saki feel a bit better about her.
"Tsubaki, Saki is transferring to a school in Tokyo. Handle the paperwork later." "I understand, Master." "Can I go to school with Alex?" "Yes," Tsubaki said, being the last to enter the elevator. She gave Saki a faint smile. "After transferring to St. Jo Academy, you can go to school with Master. There are plenty of companions there. Alex has many girls around him."
She was giving her a fair warning. Based on her brief observation, this Saki girl didn't seem like the "troublesome" type... but then again, in front of Master, even the most troublesome women would be "trained" into... cough!
As Master's maid, Tsubaki aimed to be an all-purpose servant. If she encountered any defiant women, she would certainly help Master train them.
"I don't mind," Saki said dismissively. "After all, Alex turned the entire school in Kyoto into his slaves. No amount of women would be surprising."
Tsubaki Rurikawsa: "..." Wait, that happened? Master didn't tell me!
Noticing the maid glancing at him sideways, Alex quickly looked away, pretending he hadn't heard. Faced with Master's shameless attitude, Tsubaki rolled her eyes helplessly but smiled secretly.
Like Saki, ever since Alex saved her from Bormann, Tsubaki had decided to be his maid and his property. Let alone a school—even if he took over every woman in Japan, she wouldn't object.
Wait... was that an exaggeration? Could Master's kidneys take it? Actually, that was what the noble maid was worried about.
As they got off the elevator, Saki looked around the corridor curiously. "Alex, this apartment... why is there no one else?" Every other room was dark. It was a bit creepy.
"Didn't Yoshida know? This entire building is Master's property. Naturally, there are no other tenants."
"Eh?!" No way... in this location, a building this big is all Alex's?
"Mila gave it to me. I'm just an ordinary high school student. Mila is the real rich one," Alex said, shrugging.
Mila... Saki thought of the elegant noblewoman. She certainly seemed wealthy, but Alex was far from "ordinary." Those eye-popping powers were much more impressive than mere wealth.
"Alex isn't ordinary at all," Saki blinked. A "monster" who could manipulate a whole school of students and teachers couldn't be called ordinary.
They entered the apartment. The living room was lit, and the low table was covered with a feast. The scent was mouth-watering. The kind lady with the high ponytail had been waiting for a long time. "You're back, Alex. And this is..."
"Hello, I'm Saki Yoshida," Saki said, no longer as timid as before. The big sister's aura was very gentle, like a traditional Japanese wife. "Wait, Lady Mila isn't here?"
"Mila went home," Alex said, already snatching a piece of fried chicken with his fingers. He spoke while chewing. "She's usually busy and doesn't get much free time. Going to Kyoto was for... official business."
"Alex~ that's dirty. You haven't washed your hands yet. Go wash up—" Akari scolded gently.
Are you my mom? Alex complained internally.
"Alex, I want to shower first," Saki said. She was a bit dirty and sweaty; she felt she might smell. "Is that okay?"
"Sure, but you don't have a change of clothes?" Alex blinked. "Want to wear mine?"
"Master, Akari-san and I have clothes. She can wear ours," Tsubaki said, looking at her Master helplessly.
"Um—" Saki blushed, stuttering. "If... if it's okay, I... I want to wear Alex's clothes..."
"..." "..."
Half an hour later, Saki came out of the bath. She wasn't wearing underwear; she just had a large men's shirt thrown over her slender, seductive body. You could faintly see the curves of her breasts and her nipples, along with her plump thighs.
Going commando under Alex's shirt... it was so erotic! Tsubaki and Akari were stunned. You can do that? We want to try too!
