I, Who Have Been Tasked With Taking Care of the Beautiful Young Lady of the Class, Am Troubled by the Heavy Affection Directed Towards Me

Shiratori-san’s house’s decor was very luxurious right from the doorway. There were long corridors on both sides leading to the front. There was a staircase in the middle that symmetrically climbed to a higher floor. It didn’t feel like the same kind of building I had lived in before; I felt like I had travelled to a different country.

We took our shoes off and entered the house.

“Shiratori-san, where are we going now?”

“To my room.”

“Huh…? The attendant earlier was trying to guide me to your room, so why did you personally volunteer to show me?”

“Because I have a surprise for you.”

A surprise… Although it’s work-related, I can’t help but feel more anxious than excited about coming to Shiratori-san’s luxurious mansion for the first time. If there’s something I need to do, I would prefer her to tell me in advance.

But if that’s Shiratori-san’s policy as my employer, it wouldn’t be wise to object. I tried my best not to show my anxiety as we arrived in front of a door.

“Is this it?”

“Yes, it’s my room.”

Shiratori-san didn’t seem particularly embarrassed or nervous, even though she was inviting a member of the opposite sex into her room. Maybe she’s not nervous because she’s had the experience of inviting someone into her room before, or she’s treating it purely as work, or perhaps she doesn’t even recognize me as someone of the opposite sex. It’s fine either way, but if it turns out to be the last reason, that might leave me traumatised a little .

With those thoughts in mind, I followed Shiratori-san into her room.

“So this is Shiratori-san’s room…”

Overall, there was a lot of white, but there were occasional touches of pink that gave the place a feminine feel. The bed was clearly large enough for two people, and despite being a personal room, it is fully equipped with a study desk, TV, sofa, and coffee table. While I live in a relatively cheap rental house that I pay for myself, this single room is about the same size as my entire house, if not slightly bigger.

Shiratori-san slowly closed the door and sat on the sofa, gesturing for me to sit next to her.

“Shiratori-sa—”

“Kimi-kun, what do you think? Are you willing to take on the job?”

“Well… I still don’t have a clear understanding of the specific job requirements, so I can’t say for sure.”

“Specific job requirements? It’s just about being with me and talking whenever I feel like it, something like that.”

“Just that…? What about cleaning?”

“The attendants and other staff members who were here earlier will take care of the cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

…To think that I would receive an hourly wage of ¥2,000 just for that, it’s hard to believe. But if it’s someone as wealthy as Shiratori-san, even if it turns out to be true, it wouldn’t be surprising.

“Um, regarding this job, did I end up being the one to do it just because I happened to be the first one to call the phone number on that flyer?”

“No, that flyer was only delivered to you.”

“I-I see!”

It’s strange to go through the trouble of making a flyer and delivering it only to me… But there’s something else that’s bothering me.

“How did you know where I live?”

“Well, um… Anyway, Kimi-kun, is there something you want to do?”

“Something I want to do…?”

“Yes! Anything is fine. Studying, watching movies, whatever.”

“R-Really, anything?”

“Yes, anything.”

…I hesitated to determine whether it was just a polite gesture or if she really meant it when she said anything. But believing it was the latter, I decided to speak up without reservation.

“Well… Can I take a short nap?”

“Sure, are you sleepy?”

“Not exactly sleepy, but my body feels tired from everything that’s been happening. I feel a little sluggish.”

“If that’s the case, go ahead and sleep.”

“Thank you.”

Taking advantage of her words, I closed my eyes and leaned back on the sofa.

…I thought it would be difficult and nerve-wracking to sleep in Shiratori-san’s room, but surprisingly, it wasn’t like that at all, and I was able to fall asleep immediately.

…….

Shiratori’s POV

“…Come in.”

“Yes.”

I let the attendant into the room and confided in her my thoughts.

“Isn’t Kimi-kun cute?”

“…I think he’s just sleeping.”

“I’m talking about his sleeping face.”

“Sigh…”

The attendant let out a sigh, seemingly exasperated.

I couldn’t help but think that she had lost sight of the meaning of being a woman if she couldn’t understand the cuteness of Kimi-kun.

“For now, since I was able to establish some contact with Kimi-kun, I want him to come here regularly and become friends with me.”

“…Miss, you seem surprisingly calm. You’ve been saying things like ‘I want to talk to Kimi-kun!’ or ‘I want to play with Kimi-kun!’ for the past two years.”

“I can’t let Kimi-kun see that side of me…. I really want to put him on a leash, but I can’t do that. He will hate me for it.”

“Not only would he hate you for it, but he might even report you, and you may never be able to see Kimi-san again.”

“We’ll interfere with communications and cover it up if something arises…. But more importantly, think of a way for Kimi-kun and me to get closer as soon as possible without any such thing happening.”

“…Huh?”

“Right now, I can’t think clearly because Kimi-kun is right next to me! So think fast, before Kimi-kun wakes up!!”

“…Understood.”

While I was savouring Kimi-kun’s sleeping face, the attendant thought about how to bring Kimi-kun and me closer and put her plan into
action.
