chapter 32
32 – Blonde Young Girl VS Childhood Friend
The backyard of the school. It was break time, but it was a good place to call Amelia because no one was there right now.
“So…… Can you explain why you called? Hyunjin.”
Amelia asked me with a haughty expression, crossing her arms.
“It’s because I have something to tell you, my lady.”
“Something to say?”
“Yes, the young lady has asked me about Natsuki many times before, but you never asked me directly, did you?”
Amelia nodded her head with a momentary look of concern.
“Anyway…… Yes?”
“Here, as the butler, I decided it was time for me to step in.”
“Ha?”
Amelia opened her mouth as if she didn’t understand.
Well, it’s okay. Rest assured, Amelia!
I’m telling you that I’ll lead your relationship!
“After school, I made an appointment with Natsuki.”
“I see…… To?!”
“What are you so surprised about?”
Was this a surprise?
To be honest, it’s a little stuffy because we don’t move quickly.
It is possible to misunderstand each other. But not even starting is absurd.
“Oh, no…… It seems to be quite active.”
“Without this opportunity, I didn’t think I would ever have a chance to talk to you, so I took action in my own line…… “
When I answered Amelia, it must be because of my mood that I gave off a strangely sullen mood, right?
“Yes, someday…… Because it was something I had to do.”
“I’m glad I was helpful, ma’am.”
He took a formal pose. It’s just that I’m not used to it.
“Those two! What are you doing in the backyard!”
Someone yelled. It’s a familiar voice…….
When she turned her head, she saw her classmate Kamiyama Ohana standing where she heard the voice.
…… Wait, why is Ohana here?
“Ha, Hana-chan?”
“Hana-chan…… What?”
Amelia hit her back.
Ah, since she won’t know that she’s already doing Yobi Ste, she’ll be embarrassed……
That’s what worries me the most.
To make a bombshell remark on Ohana’s side first!
I have to stop the fact that I know the relationship between me and Amelia.
That’s what Amelia asked me to do, and it’s what she’s been protecting.
I don’t think Ohana will speak easily in front of other people, but……
“Hey, Miss Iori! What are you going to do with Jin-chan in the backyard? … “
“Ha? What are you doing! I have no idea what the hell that means!”
Ohana and Amelia are talking like they don’t care about me.
If you slip through this crack……
“Where are you going, Hyunjin?”
“Keck!”
“Tongue, Hyunjin? Did you call me by name?!”
“Hey! Kamiyama-san, why did you exchange nicknames with Hyunjin?”
“That, that has nothing to do with Miss Iori!”
“No, I want to hear it. If not…… Is there something going on?”
“Eh, that is…… !”
Ohana opened her mouth in a puzzled tone at Amelia’s confidence.
…… It happened Doesn’t this make us expose what happened over the weekend to each other?
“That is…… “
“Be quiet, Hyunjin! Aren’t I asking you?”
“Ugh.”
I can’t answer anything like this.
“Ji, Jin-chan helped me a lot! Therefore…… We just became friends!”
“Hey, is that so? It was something I didn’t know, that.”
Amelia opened her mouth as calmly as usual.
Judging by the fact that Ohana is desperately trying to hide the fact that she was on the weekend, it seems that she values her appointments.
Nice Ohana!
“So, is there any reason why Hyunjin and I shouldn’t be in the backyard?”
“Eh…… That…… But…….”
“If you have nothing to say, go back, Miss Kamiyama. No matter what you say, the relationship between me and Hyunjin will not change.”
As if to show off, Amelia suddenly crept up beside me.
“What are you talking about?! No, I knew both of them wouldn’t change, but…… !”
Ohana opened her mouth slightly as she wiggled her fingers.
But as if she wouldn’t overlook that gap, Amelia struck back.
“Huh? You know it doesn’t change Are you talking like someone who knows the relationship between me and Hyunjin?”
“Ah, that… ….”
Amelia catches Ohana’s mistakes.
It’s dangerous at this rate.
Something, I need to change the topic…… !
“Tell me, Miss Kamiyama. What you did.”
“That, that…… I am…… !”
Ohana hesitated and couldn’t answer Amelia’s question.
It’s a big deal at this rate, when you want to.
Ding-dong, dang-dong.
The class bell started ringing at the exact timing.
“…… You’re lucky, Kamiyama-san.”
Muttering that, Amelia first turned her back and headed for the classroom.
Ohana was also shaking her legs while making a sound like heh, ah, as if the tension had been relieved.
“Are you okay, Hana-chan?”
“Ji, Jin-chan. Sorry…… I almost said it.”
“No, you did a good job. If it had been me, I might have already told you.”
“Me, really?”
“Yes. Class is over, so let’s go back quickly.”
“Ah…… That’s right, I need to go back soon…….”
I managed to get over the situation, but someday it will be something I will definitely point out.
Amelia’s personality makes it so.
It’s safe for now.
***
When the class bell rang, Amelia, Ohana, and Hyunjin went back to class.
There was a strange atmosphere throughout the class.
It wasn’t like that for the whole class, but to be precise, Ohana and Amelia were looking sideways at each other and thinking about each other.
‘Sorry. With a little more, I could have figured out what they were talking about on Saturday.’
Amelia looked at Ohana on the other side of her as she thought so.
It was confirmed through a drone, but on Saturday Oh Hana received a white ribbon hairband as a gift from Hyunjin.
It’s just that I don’t know the details of the conversation between them.
‘I’m sorry.’
If only the bell hadn’t been rung, I could have inquired about their conversation, but the timing was so ghostly that Amelia was forced to withdraw.
Ohana, who appeared in front of her and couldn’t even have a normal conversation properly, seemed ridiculous when she calmly stepped out in front of him and chattered.
She didn’t think Hyunjin would be taken away by such an ordinary woman anyway.
Hyunjin is a servant working in her own house, and a butler is a being who serves the owner. That’s why I can’t have feelings like marriage, dating, or anything like that.
Also, I know Hyunjin’s personality. Because Hyunjin is a man who is kind enough and knows how to be considerate.
The scolding he gave to himself on the weekend was obviously for himself.
With that in mind, it was highly likely that the feelings he showed toward Ohana were sympathy.
Like the sympathy she showed him.
Yes, Hyunjin is a warm-hearted person.
So it must be giving your feelings to such a simple woman.
‘You don’t have to worry.’
Judging that, Amelia thought that her Hyunjin would not go over to Ohana.
She won’t have to worry anymore.
With that in mind, Amelia returned to her lessons.
…… Meanwhile, Ohana had completely different thoughts from Amelia.
‘I’m glad…… It’s not like there’s anything wrong with it…….’
Realizing that she was misunderstood, Ohana thought she was lucky.
On Saturday, she recalled her memories of having her picnic with Hyunjin.
‘I didn’t expect to hear that directly.’
It was only two days ago that I found out that Hyunjin was Amelia’s butler.
Until then, Hyunjin normally helped him.
‘Why am I working at Miss Iori’s house?’
Obviously, there is something. I know that there are circumstances that no one can avoid, but what are those circumstances?
Ohana doesn’t know.
‘If Miss Iori’s house is a young lady enough to hire a butler…… There must be something.’
Hyunjin broke the expensive pottery in Amelia’s house, or he was forced to work as a butler because he was in huge debt.
When I thought that would happen, somehow I felt pity for Hyunjin.
‘But…… I’m glad it didn’t happen to me.’
If she had been a little late, Hyunjin might have done strange things at school.
‘Me too…… What are you thinking!’
Today, after school, should I suggest going back to Hyunjin? If she does, she might be able to keep Hyunjin to Amelia.
How about returning home as late as possible?
‘I have to somehow get Jin-chan out of Miss Iori’s hands.’
Yes, this is for Hyunjin. I don’t know how long I’ve been working at Amelia’s house, but I have to make Hyunjin change his mind.
‘Is it broken pottery or is it a huge debt? Also…… ‘
Ohana recalled how much her own savings were. Since she didn’t mainly eat snacks like the other students, why don’t she try to somehow save up money and get Hyunjin out of Amelia’s hands?
Even if she is in the far distant future.
Ohana made that decision.
‘Part-time job…… Should I?’
She thought that before long, and Ohana focused on her class again.
The pink girl and the golden girl struggled with each other fiercely.
