I Heard That the Cool Maid Had Feelings for Someone, so I Fired Her for Her Happiness, and She Came to My House Alone
I finaly said it
I have no regrets. I had already made up my mind to tell Kanade before she came back. If I had stayed in the dark, there would have been no way to show that I was ready.
I wonder what kind of face I’m making right now. I can clearly hear the hands of the wall clock, which I don’t usually hear.
“….”
I slowly raise my lowered face to ask her face.
“Kanade…?”
Kanade is shaking her shoulders and looking down at me. Is she moved or is she thinking about something else?
It doesn’t look like she’s pleased at a quick glance. I think she’s pleased….
“What are you saying? Master.”
Kanade looked up at me with a terrible look on her face as if she was trying to appeal to me.
“May I ask you to tell me again what you said? It could have been my imagination.”
“Oh, okay”
I was somewhat afraid to say it out loud again, but Kanade asked me to do so.
“I’m thinking of firing Kanade.”
“…”
Kanade again turns her head to the side in silence.
Something seems to be bothering her, but I can’t figure out the real reason.
That’s right, her job as a maid will suddenly disappear. I’m sure she’s worried about finding a new job, money, and all sorts of other things.
That’s right. If I were suddenly fired from my current part-time job, I wouldn’t be able to understand it, and I wouldn’t be able to calm down.
Of course, I have a severance package in place. I think she has enough money to live for five years without working.
I have asked my father to prepare it for me because she has taken care of me up to now and it is her retirement money.
I also promised my father that I would return the money to him in the future.
“Don’t worry, I have plenty of money set aside for your retirement. I’ve made arrangements so that Kanade can continue to live in this house.”
“…”
She still does not look up.
I don’t know what else she’s unhappy about. Even though she was suddenly fired, she still has a home and money.
It’s just that the environment will change a little.
She says there is someone she likes, and she may want to move in with him in this big house. It’s a little complicated to see Kanade and a guy I don’t know making out in the house I used to live in.
“Why? Did I do something to warrant being fired? If so, please let me know. I’m inexperienced and I probably couldn’t figure it out.”
What, you were concerned about that?
I had forgotten that I had not told you the most important reason.
“I’m not saying that Kanade has done anything wrong at all. It’s because Kanade has been doing good things for me all this time. I guess the best thing I can say is thank you for everything you’ve done.”
“I see…from the way you said that, it sounds like there might be more to it.”
“Yes, I’m going to leave after I tell you. If I stay here any longer, my resolve may be shaken.”
It’s time to go. My dad wants to talk to me, so he asked me to be at his house at 8.
Having an appointment is really a big help. If I had the time, I would try to be with Kanade as much as possible. My personality has always been indecisive.
I remember that Kanade prevented me from suffering many times because of my indecisiveness.
I’m going to use the opportunity of moving to a new house to cure my indecisiveness. It would be attractive and cool for a man to carry out what he decides crisply.
I will work hard to become the man of my dreams someday.
“…”
Silence again.
Silence is taken as an affirmation.
“Actually, I heard from Amane san that Kanade has a crush on someone. When I heard it I was surprised because I thought it was the cool Kanade? But from what I heard, it seemed like she was serious about that person. If that’s the case, you won’t be able to be free if you spend time with someone like me, right?”
I really want Kanade to be happy. The person that Amane says she likes is also a person who is sincere and fun to spend time with since the solid Kanade chooses him
Now that I think about it, maybe she ate lunch or something with that person because we weren’t always together in college.
I didn’t feel this at all when we started living together in this house after entering university, but it means that we had grown apart before I knew it.
“So, from now on, you’re free to be happy.”
I lifted my heavy back slowly and headed for the front door with my luggage.
“That luggage. So that’s what you meant.”
“Hmm, did you say something?
“No.”
“I see?”
I thought I said something.
“Oh, that’s right. I transferred the money to Kanade’s bank account so please check it. See you then.”
