Chapter 42. Former hero?commits an act of stalking

An event on a certain day.

It was when I was buying Sharon’s present of an accessory and going on a date with her, before the recapturing operation of Gauge fort.

For this actually, only Mina didn’t get the present.

That’s because the 2 of us are not alone normally.

Although it should have been fine to hand it to her at night when she invited me to bed, Sharon and Laurier were around, and I somehow missed that timing.

Therefore, I was determine to try and pass it to Mina today.

After having eaten breakfast, I went to look for Mina during the time of the morning training.

Mina is in the kitchen, clearing away breakfast and washing the dishes.

Briskly and steadily, the plates are being wash.

It’s a portion from the 3 of us.

Although I invited her saying ‘should we eat together?’ at one time or another, she wasn’t able to have a meal at the same table as a maid. And, I was refused stubbornly.

When I get Mina formally, I want us to be surrounding the same dining table even if it’s unreasonable.

While thinking like this and observing Mina, she had finished washing up with surprising swiftness.

Okay, it’s now. …..was what I was thinking, but Mina started cooking directly.

Are you making breakfast for other maids?

Amazing.

Specifically, I do know know how many people are stationed here, but it should be quite a number of people.

And as for the meal after that, seems like it will take some time.

For me, the time for morning training approaches.

Because it can’t be helped, let’s do it at the next chance.

Afternoon.

After lunch, Mina is washing up as expected.

If it comes to this, are you going to cook lunch directly again after this?

Let’s come again after a little while.

And, the result of coming again, I appeared late.

There was nobody in the dining room for the maid.

Oops.

Where did you go?

I look around within the premise.

And I found Mina.

In the middle of the house, she was wiping a big window twice my height.

Climbing the ladder now, she is wiping the tallest place diligently.

Her skirt was gathered at her waist so as not to be caught.

Her legs, normally hidden with the skirt, was swaying about matching the movement of her wiping the window.

There is a somewhat lascivious appeal.

A little more!

Stretching myself a little more, I will be able to see her panty!

Such a wish of mine was in vain, as Mina who finished drying the highest portion moves to the middle section.

When I waited for her to finish wiping the window, another maid calls Mina at the same time she was done.

Damn.

I was late again.

Mina headed towards the interior of the estate with that maid.

I follow after them too.

Then, Mina and the maid started cleaning each room.

The rooms we do not use at all normally.

However, they are cleaning it without fail even if we do not use it.

I seek the situation within from the gap of the door.

The carpet of the bed is swept attentively with a small brush.

Because the brush is small, she is on all fours on the carpet.

Mina and the maid, pushing out their bottom in a line, are swinging in unison flutterily.

What is this situation.

There is a wonderful scene there.

I decided to observe the situation thoroughly.

Sweeping, cleaning and wiping.

With 2 person, they go around the room sequentially.

Indeed, it doesn’t seem like they do everything in a day, but they are cleaning room by room properly.

After cleaning some of the room is over, it’s cleaning of the corridor.

With a mop, they are wiping the corridor carefully from corner to corner.

Hmmm, amazing.

If it’s me, I would have rounded the corners.

KyuuKyuu, every time she wipes with all her might, her cat ears moves with [Picopico].

What a cute thing!

Aah, I want to hug her from behind right now.

No, besides the other maid is there too, and it’s bad if I disturb her work.

In addition, I am certainly confident that I won’t stop if I embrace her.

What won’t stop?

I decided to wait until cleaning is over.

The cleaning did not end.

Somehow, they continuously clean.

Are you serious?

When I noticed, the time of dinner is approaching.

In the interval I took my eyes off her for a moment, Mina had moved to the kitchen before I knew it and was preparing dinner.

Or rather, does Mina prepare our meals?

Seems like I can no longer do anything already.

Is this a genuine maid?

After dinner, it’s time to bath.

Bathing of course, I enter with Sharon and Laurier, and Mina doesn’t come.

She will come if I call her, but there is not much meaning as the 2 of them are around.

And like this, it’s to bed at night.

What is this situation.

There is no time alone for the 2 of us.

Or more precisely, Mina has been working throughout the day.

In the first place, she isn’t alone.

Well……

This too, I cannot say such a thing since Sharon and Laurier are around?

And so forth, while building the prospect of tomorrow, I loved the 2 of them.

Was it because of the other day’s punishment game? Laurier is obedient.

Nothing was said despite me mentioning the matter of service.

Sharon comes to service me undauntedly too.

Excellent!

Enjoying for some time, I left the room for the toilet while the 2 of them fell asleep.

That’s it.

How about now?

The corridor is dimly lit from the light of the candle.

No matter how you look at it, it wouldn’t be possible to be cleaning until night time.

Thinking so, I return to take the present for Mina.

Present in my hand, I suddenly noticed when I came out to the corridor again.

Huh?

Come to think of it, I wonder where Mina sleeps at?

Muuu.

Damn it.

Do I use search for search for places with people?

And, when I was thinking of that.

“Haruto-sama.”

I was suddenly called out from the back.

“Fuhaaa!?”

Although I didn’t shout, a shameful cry came out with my surprise.

I, I was startled…..

The source of that voice was Mina.

“Ah. I, I’m sorry.

For having shocked you…….”

In the middle of the gloomy corridor, Mina is visibly downhearted.

No, I am the only one being pathetic now.

However, although I did not use magic, to have my back taken so easily.

What a dreadful royal palace maid.

In fact, could she possibly be a secret agent maid that can erase all the traces of something?

“N, No, it isn’t the fault of Mina particularly.

In the middle of the night, I was at fault for being absent minded in the corridor.”

“No, but……”

“Apart from that, what is Mina doing in the middle of the night?”

Mina seems to want to add something, but I bring up a different subject.

“Yes. This is night patrolling.”

I see. Patrolling.

However, this is just right.

It’s only Mina and me now.

It’s an ideal opportunity to hand her the present.

“Erm, Haruto-sama.”

In the place where I made up my mind to make my move, Mina beat me to the punch.

Damn.

I am not going to fall behind, like losing the initiative today.

“Errr……the whole of today, um……M, My back seemed to be looked at all the time, was there anything?”

Eh?

M, Me following Mina’s back today, was it noticed?

Oh my god.

If it’s Japan here, it will be the place for the policeman’s ropes with the anti-nuisance ordinance.

“Ah, no, that……did you notice?”

“Yes……

W, When I was clearing up breakfast, at the time I was wiping the window, I could feel Haruto-sama’s gaze.

…….

Is it my gaze?

I wonder what kind of gaze she felt?

“I, Is that so……”

“…….Yes. Uh…..because of that, did I make any blunders?”

Mina asks uneasily.

A thing such as blunder is unthinkable.

Rather, it was splendid to the extent of admiration.

“N, No, it’s not such a thing at all.

There is something I want to hand Mina when your work reach a stage where you can pause, but I missed the timing however, while waiting.”

I say so, and pass the parcel in my hand.

“This is……?”

Mina who received it tilts her head looking puzzle.

“Well, that…..p, present……I think?”

I am somehow embarrassed, and says it facing the other way.

Why?

I was able to hand it to the other 3 normally.

“Present……”

Looking at the parcel, Mina mutters.

W, What is it I wonder?

You are not going to say you can’t accept it right?

Even though I was starting to get a little worried, such a thing didn’t happen.

“U, Um…… Thank you very much.

That, I’m very happy.”

Mina’s smile blooms.

And, she hugs the present to her chest delightedly.

The me who was feeling chocked up, embraces such a Mina.

“Ah…… U, Um, Haruto-sama?”

In my arms, Mina looks at me with upturned eyes.

Is she happy or shy? Her cat ears are [Pikupiku] twitching.

Cute.

And, I did not stop as expected.

Hearing from Mina, the 2 of us head towards Mina’s room.
