Chapter 2083 - Maid And Teacher
After Leticia had woken up, Lily told everyone one by one since it was great news that Leticia had woken up.
Everyone also had woken up in the morning so they didn"t hesitate to visit Leticia, who had woken up.
Leticia was happy that she could come back and also could return to her community. Still, she couldn"t see the person that she had been waiting for. "Um... where"s Kasugano-sama?"
"Kasugano-sama?"
Everyone was dumbfounded by what Leticia called Haru.
"Why did you call Haru that?" Asuka asked, wondering whether there was something wrong with Leticia"s head. After all, Leticia had just become a stone before so it wouldn"t be strange if there was something wrong with her head.
"I made a promise with him," Leticia said plainly, but there was a blush on her face.
"What kind of promise?" Yuu asked.
"I"m going to become his maid," Leticia said.
"............" Everyone.
Leticia didn"t feel surprised by everyone"s reaction, but she didn"t care much since she didn"t feel reluctant to do it. Instead, she felt happy. There were also other promises, but it was better to keep this matter a secret while waiting for her body to return to her adult state like before.
"Th - that pervert!" Asuka"s face was red and knew that Haru was simply a bad guy!
"Who are you calling a pervert?"
"........"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Haru, Asagi, and Shiroyuki, who entered the room at the same time.
Haru looked at everyone speechlessly and somehow he could tell what kind of conversation that they had before. "I"m not a pervert. Also, don"t you think that having a blonde-haired maid is a good thing?"
"Well, that"s true." Asuka nodded in agreement.
"So there"s no need to complain, right?" Haru said.
"That"s true, but she isn"t only for you, right?" Yuu asked.
Haru looked at Leticia then asked, "What do you think, Leticia? I have my own maid here, but those three also need a maid too, considering how spoiled they"re." He didn"t really have much of an interest in a loli even though Leticia might be over 1000+ years old. Leticia might be legal, but her body might be a bit too small for him.
"Oi!" 3x
Izayoi, Asuka, and Yuu complained directly.
Leticia looked at Haru, then looked at Izayoi, Asuka, and Yuu, before she looked at Shiroyuki, who stood next to Haru. She saw Shiroyuki smiling proudly at her, which made her slightly annoyed at this moment. Still, she also knew that Izayoi, Asuka, and Yuu also helped on the Gift Game that was held before so she nodded. "Yes, I don"t mind since I feel that I owe everyone so I don"t mind being everyone"s maid and I"m glad to do so."
"That"s great! I have always had a blonde maid!" Asuka said excitedly and extended her hand. "It"ll be nice to have you around."
"Yea..." Leticia held Asuka"s hand and suddenly remembered that her words might be improper. "I guess I should be more formal because I"m working for you, though."
"Just use whatever you"re comfortable with," Yuu said with a smile.
"I see... No... I see Ma"am? No, no... I see, Miss?"
While everyone was happy that Leticia had become their maid, Jin and Kuro Usagi were speechless and they could only watch this scene dumbfoundedly.
"The Knight of the Little Garden is a maid...?" 2x
Haru ignored Jin and Kuro Usagi then clapped his hands, causing everyone to look in his direction. "Well, enough of this, how about we prepare a celebration party for our victory!"
"OOOOOOOHHH!!!"
Everyone raised their hands excitedly and prepared for the party.
"Haru, are you going to cook?" Yuu asked with excitement.
Everyone also stared at Haru excitedly, wondering how he was going to answer.
"Just this time, alright?" Haru replied reluctantly.
"OOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!"
Everyone roared even excitedly.
---
"Kasugano-san, let me help you," Jin said with an eagerness.
Haru, who was cooking in the kitchen, nodded. "Sure. Just wash the vegetables."
"Just wash?" Jin asked curiously.
"Well, yeah, can you cook?" Haru asked.
"............." Jin.
"It"s normal. You don"t need to worry," Haru said calmly.
"Then I"ll wash the vegetables." Jin nodded as he washed the vegetables beside Haru.
While telling Jin how to wash the ingredients carefully, Haru also instructed the other helpers, and children on how to cook so their foods would be even better.
As Jin washed the vegetables, Haru asked, "Do you have something to ask me, Jin?"
"Ah!" Jin was a bit embarra.s.sed and blushed, hearing Haru"s words.
"You know, I thought that you hated me for stealing your place and told you how useless you were," Haru said with a smile.
"No, no, I have never thought that way, Kasugano-san!" Jin quickly shook his head with an embarra.s.sed expression, then sighed. "Still, I also understand how incompetent, I was before as their leader..." He could see the difference between him and Haru. When he was the leader, even though everyone was working hard, their eyes were dead as if they didn"t have hope, but when Haru became a leader, everyone"s eyes were bright and full of hope, which made him realize how different he was from him.
Jin also reflected on how he hesitated to answer Haru"s question in the past and thought that he was really selfish. He then got depressed, but then he felt that his head was patted, which made him dumbfounded. He looked up and looked at Haru in surprise with some blush on his face. "Ka - Kasugano-san?"
"You"re a good kid, Jin," Haru said with a smile.
Jin was so shy and blushed at that moment.
"Still, it"s good that you have realized your weaknesses and what you need to do is to work hard to erase or strengthen your good points," Haru said.
"My good point?" Jin asked curiously.
"Your good point is your Gift. You can make a contract with various demons. Also, you"re relatively smart. I know that I might be able to do a lot of things, but I still need help managing various things in this community. You can see how stupid Kuro Usagi is and how selfish Izayoi, Asuka, and Yuu are. They can"t help manage this community with some administrative matters, but you can do it," Haru said.
"I - I"m the only one who can do it?" Jin was so excited when he heard that there was one thing that he could do better than other people.
"Yes." Haru nodded and asked, "So will you help me?"
"Yes, Kasugano-san!" Jin said excitedly.
Looking at Jin, who was excited, Haru thought that this kid was so simple, but at the same time, he knew that he needed to train him sooner or later, he would return to the leader position to Jin since he would go back after his quest was over.
Still, before that, Haru needed to finish his cooking first since if he took his time, he was afraid that everyone"s saliva was going to be mixed on one of those cookings sooner or later.
