I Heard That the Cool Maid Had Feelings for Someone, so I Fired Her for Her Happiness, and She Came to My House Alone
“you know it’s me? It’s been a while, Kanade.”
“…”
Kanade slowly raised herself up and sat down on the bench as usual. I was unable to see her earlier because she was hidden by a black blanket, but her face is gaunt and dark circles have formed under her eyes.
I wonder what happened to her overnight. I wonder if she hasn’t slept.
“Kanade? You don’t look well, are you okay?”
“She doesn’t look okay to me. I think you should let her rest for now.”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect Kanade to be like this.”
“I’ll carry her, so you watch her from the back.”
“I understand.”
Seriously, what happened just yesterday? She didn’t seem sick when I left. There’s no way she was shocked by me leaving and that’s what happened.
“Kanade, get in the car.”
“I’m fine.”
“No, you’re kidding, right?”
She was clearly less energetic than yesterday, with dark circles and a scruffy look on her face. And there was no way that the person lying on the bench with a blanket over her head was safe.
If anyone other than me had seen her, they would have said the same thing.
Even Towa was looking at Kanade with worried eyes. I could understand why she would feel this way since her childhood friend, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, was not in good spirits.
I was worried too. Kanade is no longer my maid, but she will always be my childhood friend.
“Master, I have a favor to ask you.”
Master…I’m not your master anymore, am I? But I couldn’t say it out loud because I felt that if I said it now, it would destroy Kanade.
“What is it? Anything you want to ask.”
‘“Why did you fire me? I thought about it all night, but never seemed to arrive at an answer.”
Kanade, are you saying that you didn’t sleep because you were thinking about the reason why you were fired? I think I once told you what Amane san told me, but that didn’t convince you?
“When did I tell the master that I had someone I liked? I have always reported everything that happened around me to Master. When did I tell the Master that I had someone in mind?”
Indeed, Kanade was telling me about what had happened at the university at every turn. I was listening to her talk a lot because she had an interesting way of talking, and I was going with the flow and telling her about what happened at the university.
When Amane san told me about it, I was thinking that Kanade is also a girl and she was shy about talking about her love life.
I see there was no one that Kanade liked.
In other words, I was wrong, I should have checked with Kanade.
“You didn’t.”
“I and Amane, never told you that I also have feelings for someone. I never had a chance to be with Master at university, so it was always just Amane and I. Several times, a student from the same department confessed to me, but I reported it to Master each time.”
“I know…I’m sorry. I didn’t check enough.”
“No problem. I am glad that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry I hurt Kanade with my selfish judgment. I’m really grateful to Kanade.”
Kanade nodded her head.
“What? What do you mean, what happened to you two?”
Towa has a puzzled look on her face. She seems flustered, unable to comprehend the current situation.
“Towa, it’s been a long time.”
“Yeah. It’s been a long time, Kanade.”
“Why are you here?”
Kanade’s tone of voice was devoid of emotion. However, she did not seem to have any negative feelings toward Towa.
It was a reunion of two childhood friends, how could she not be happy?
If I had talked it over with Kanade, she would have been happy, too.
“Oh, let’s see… I’ve enrolled in this university. I’m going to the same medical school as master—-…Shui.”
“This year means you had been studying for one year, right? It’s amazing to be in medical school.”
“Yeah. I cried when I got accepted.”
“Congratulations. We are all together again.”
“Yes, I’m glad the three of us can play together again.”
Ah, she laughed. That’s good, maybe she’s regaining her energy after talking to Towa. Even though it’s my fault, I want my precious childhood friend to always be smiling.
As I stood there watching the two of them, Towa suddenly murmured in my ear.
“Should I tell Kanade that I’m currently Master’s maid? From what I heard earlier, it seems like there was a misunderstanding between Master and Kanade.”
“It’s okay. I’m sure Kanade will find out about it someday anyway.”
“I wonder if it will be alright? Wouldn’t Kanade have mixed feelings if she found out that I became the master’s new maid right after she stopped working for him?”
“It might be, but Towa has no intention of quitting as the maid, does she?”
“Well, yes.”
“Then I guess there’s no harm in talking to her sooner rather than later.”
“If master says so, then I will tell her”
Then Towa told Kanade everything that had happened yesterday from start to finish. As the story progressed, Kanade’s face seemed to distort, but there was no way Kanade would make a face like that.
“…So I’m going to be Shui’s maid. I’m going to do my best to take Kanade’s place, so don’t worry.”
“….”
Despite the fact that there have been some misunderstandings, Kanade is not my maid right now. We will be together as close childhood friends of the opposite gender, and I hope that this will be a good opportunity for her to experience romance.
It makes me a little angry to imagine a man I don’t know standing next to Kanade, but it’s clear that I’m not in a position to say anything great after dismissing her without permission.
I looked at the two of them and suddenly Kanade stood up and approached me.
“Master, I still have no intention of quitting as your maid.”
“Eh, Kanade, what are you talking about?”
“Towa, I still want to be your maid. I will not receive any salary. I am living for the purpose of serving by your side. Will you accept me again?”
Maybe I had hoped for those words somewhere in my heart. I felt as if a hole in my heart had been filled by Kanade’s words.
“I realized how important you are to me.”
