CHAPTER 28
[ 3rd POV ]
Aiko had always wondered why Laiya calls his parents by their names but she was used to Laiya's unusual behavior so she shrugged it off.
[ MC POV ]
"Ah well, master Elrick and Miss Grace are out of town for dinner and won't be back until tomorrow..." She said slightly depressed.
I smiled and crossed the distance between us before raising my feet and patting her head.
At first, Aiko was surprised to be patted by me who was exceptionally younger than her but as time passed she became used to my unusual behaviors.
"Don't worry I'll take a look at her condition and heal her with my holy magic." I said and stopped patting her head.
Her mood instantly swung as she gleamed in happiness with her awfully mature cute face.
"Really? Thank you Sir Laiya" She exclaimed in delight and reflexly hugged me in her spree burying me in her huge melons
"Don't mention it." I said while my cheeks were pressed against her breasts and enjoying the sensation I feel on my face as my face was completely buried in her breasts.
"Ah- forgive me Sir Laiya I didn't mean to do that... I was just really glad to hear that Kamina would be treated." She said while blushing and quickly released me.
I fakely laughed "Don't worry I'll consider that as my payment." I said while grinning.
"Pay-payment...?" She said flustered while hiding her embarrassed and flushed face with her hands.
I laughed "I'm just messing with you."
Aiko looked at me and pouted "Jeez... Sir Laiya you're always messing with me." She said while sulking.
Umu A sulking Maria is super cute as well! I thought while nodding internally.
I stopped laughing and console her. "Now, now, don't be mad it's fun to tease you after all I can't help it." I said with a grin.
"Ung... Hmph, it's not like I'm mad or anything." She said while pouting.
"What are you a tsundere?"
"What? Sunde... Eh?" She tried to comprehend what I said but was left dumbfounded.
I waved my hand "It's nothing, but anyway since Kamina isn't here I'll help you out." I said and without waiting for a reply I took down the laundry that was the nearest to me.
"Ah! No way I can't let you Sir Laiya do that! It's my job after all it would be disrespectful of me to let you do that!" She exclaimed and prevented me from putting the laundry in the basket.
I sighed "No, don't worry about it I've got so much free time in my hand and it's not that hard of a job plus aren't these laundry going to a room near your room with Kamina I'm going there so it's worthwhile moreover there are a lot of laundries it would be a pain for you to carry them all." I said firmly to Aiko she might be very clumsy but she's also very serious about doing her job and is awfully stubborn at accepting a helping hand at doing tasks.
She looked away from me with a troubled look
"... But still..."
I couldn't help but smile wryly at Aiko's stubbornness.
"Also, I insist." I said and put the laundry in the basket besides if I let Aiko do this task alone she might hurt herself.
Aiko was still hesitant but briefly accepted it because of my resolute insistence.
"... Well if Sir Laiya really insists then I guess it's fine."
"Then let's get this over with so I can treat Kamina."
Aiko became delighted and responded with an "Mn!" She said cheerfully accompanied by her overflowing matured cuteness which struck my very soul.
So with Aiko's approval, I helped her with the laundry.
