"Don't worry about a thing and continue your duties... or maybe you want Aku to assist you?"
Kierul said glancing toward the masked boy waiting a few steps away behind her.
"Oh, no. Young lady, I wouldn't dare to take your attendant away...! I may be old but I am still quite able to fulfill all the housekeeping duties including daily shopping! Now then... with your permission, I shall go. Please, feel at ho in this house."
The old woman backed off, shaking her head hurriedly before raising her arm and flexing her wimpy muscles after which she bowed her head and started walking off, leaving the key in the masked attendant's care.
"I will~! See you soon~!"
Kierul smile widened and she waved the housekeeper goodbye while Aku passed her already opening the door.
"Do you think that Noelletta has heard us and tries to escape?"
The masked boy asked cautiously while focusing on his law of Sagittarius enhanced hearing to check whether the sumr house was already empty or not.
"It very well might be the case~ Ahaha~ Imagining her desperately running towards the forest in her pajama just to be torn to shreds by so random monster ambushing her makes ...~!"
Kierul humd, bobbing her hips from side to side while blocking a wild grin creeping her way on her face with one hand.
"No, I need to stop myself, I don't want to awaken to so strange fetish."
Still, the red-haired girl managed to pull herself back together and after shaking her head to clear her mind her expression beca serious.
"Anyway, the kitchen is over there, get that second teacup for . It would be a sha to waste all the tea."
"As you wish~"
After the pair got inside the house, Kierul imdiately pointed Aku towards the right room while she herself went straight to her cousin's bedroom with so much confidence as if she owned the house and knew every nook and cranny of it.
The masked boy walked in on her standing in front of the correct door, tilting her head and observing the tea set on the cupboard.
"I have a nice idea of how we should play everything out~"
The red-haired girl whispered mischievously and her masked attendant nodded back without saying a word.
Kierul grabbed the door handle and pushed it, but the door didn't budge – as expected...
"Nanny...? I told you that I don't want anyone to enter! I don't care about the tea getting cold!"
"~!"
...but almost imdiately after an offended voice of a young woman responded to the attempted entering and caused the smile on Kierul's face to turn into a full-blown grin.
Noelletta not only didn't run away, but she also didn't even realize who was coming to visit her~!
*tap*
The red-haired girl patted her attendant's shoulder and stepped back, giving him so space.
In response the black-haired boy took off his porcelain mask, revealing a really ssed up face and eyes shining with cold decisiveness.
Aku put down the second teacup on the tray, completed the tea set, and laid down his mask on the cupboard next to it.
As he crouched down by the door, he glanced through the keyhole and a devilish smirk lighted up the uninjured half of his face.
The black-haired boy pulled out a piece of folded parchnt from his inner pocket and slid it under the door after spreading it out.
After that little preparation was complete, he took out the heavy dagger from the sheath on his back and pushed the blade into the keyhole, pressing on the key and...
*ching*
...lightly pushing it out...
"Nanny, I told you to go away!"
When Noelletta scoffed angrily through the door none the wiser, Aku already retrieved the parchnt which ended up having the key on it.
"There you go, good job~"
"My lady."
Kierul snickered and affectionately ssed with Aku's hair while praising him as the boy looked up at her offering her the key before standing up.
"Ready?"
"Whenever you are, my lady."
Kierul readied the key and glanced over her shoulder seeking confirmation, which the attendant who put his mask back on and grabbed the tea set hurriedly did.
*click*
"Nanny?! How did you...? EEHH?!"
Kierul unlocked the door and pushed it open confidently walking in, causing the young woman inside to call out in shock.
Noelletta was was a very pretty girl with straight blue hair, currently ssy after staying in bed for too long.
Kierul's cousin had proper, not to say old-fashioned, pajamas on, although either because of her ssy way of sleeping or just lack of care she was wearing it rather slovenly – and her getting up too fast and tangling up in her own blanket only added to a ssy image.
"Big sister Noelletta~! It has been too long! Thank you so much for inviting !"
Kierul cheered out with a refreshing smile and greeted her cousin with excessive cheerfulness that was almost creepy...
...it also didn't help that she didn't approach her and instead walked by and sat next to an elegant coffee table...
"Thank you, Aku~"
Her masked attendant followed her without fail and was already pouring her a cup of tea and offering it to her the mont she took the seat.
"Mmm~ What a lovely aroma, it's nice to be able to afford the good stuff, don't you agree, big sister Noelletta?"
Kierul closed her eyes and enjoyed the lovely fragrance of the beverage before taking a sip, but not before taking a shot at her cousin.
"...!"
Noelletta flinched and gulped down her saliva, subconsciously glancing toward the pitifully empty jewelry case on her vanity table.
"You... you arrived earlier than expected, little Kierul... Did... did you have a pleasant journey...?"
The blue-haired girl stuttered while trying to play it cool, but judging by how glossy her face had beco, her stress-powered sweat glands were going into overdrive.
"Yes~! Aku made sure that I am safe and comfortable, as always~! Recently he even started to teach so self-defense!"
Kierul enjoyed another sip of the tea before she cheered out emanating happiness and excitent.
"Tha... that's good... very good..."
It seed though, that it was very troubleso news for Noelletta as the older girl lowered her head and glared toward her empty jewelry box biting her lips so hard she almost drew blood.
"~!"
That detail didn't escape Kirul who also bit her lips - but instead of being furious, she was holding back the wild grin from blooming on her face.
