Chapter 1607: Nebula’s New Creation ⑧
As I chuckled at Ein-san’s unexpected side…… No, I guess that workaholic side of her was understandable in some ways, but in any case, a little later, a cup of royal milk tea was placed in front of me.
[Thank you for waiting. The tea leaves really are wonderful. I brewed it simply this time, but I look forward to further research.]
[Thank you…… Oh, this is great. I’ve kinda had 3 cups of this so far, but this is the best I’ve tasted.]
The royal milk tea that Ein-san brewed for me was incredible, to say the least. What Illness-san brewed, as well as what Jutia-san brewed for me, were both very delicious, but this one was clearly one rank above the others. I mean, it perfectly matched my taste and resonated with me. n0𝗏𝑒𝐥𝐔𝗌𝕓.𝐂0𝓜
[The brewing method itself hasn’t changed much, but for royal milk tea, the temperature is something crucial. The way one perceives its taste can vary depending on its temperature. Of course, I am fully aware of Kaito-sama’s taste preferences, so I simply made adjustments to align with that.]
[Heehhh…… It certainly feels comforting, or rather, it does perfectly match my taste.]
I guess this is to be expected of Ein-san. For her to completely understand my preferences and make adjustments accordingly, Ein-san’s skill is truly remarkable…… As for why Ein-san understands my preferences perfectly, well, it’s Ein-san we’re talking about here, so her being able to do that isn’t surprising.
At that moment, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. As usual, after Ein-san served me the milk tea, she just stood by the side of the table, which slightly bothered me, so I decided to suggest sitting together.
[Ein-san, since we’re at it, how about drinking the tea together with me?]
[Fumu, but Kaito-sama, I am a maid, so it’s natural for me to stand and wait in situations like this.]
[That may be so, but isn’t it also a maid’s duty to respond to requests within a reasonable range?]
[I find that my understanding of maids has deepened once again. This, too, is something for which I must express my gratitude to you, Kaito-sama.]
[Eh? Ahh, no, don’t worry about it. It’s not like you have to express your gratitude or anything like that……]
[Oya? Are you sure you don’t mind?]
[……Hmmm?]
[No, like I said, it’s my gratitude, you know? Not at least asking me what my gratitude would be———- would be a waste, don’t you think?]
[ ! ? ]
It was a momentary incident. In the middle of her sentence, Ein-san disappeared, and then, with her face so close that her breath was brushing against my ear, she whispered such alluring words to me.
As her breath brushed against my ear, her voice engulfing me with pleasant comfort, an indescribable shiver ran down my spine, leaving me in a state of astonishment. By the time I came to my senses though, Ein-san was already seated across from me, a smile visible on her lips.
[……E- Ein-san, are you teasing me?]
[Oh my? I wonder about that? There is indeed a part of me that finds Kaito-sama’s reactions adorable, so it is difficult to completely deny it. However…… the fondness I hold for you is by no means a joke nor a lie.]
As Ein-san said that with an impish smile, I could see that she was in a very cheerful mood. How should I say this…… While I was glad to see yet another new side of Ein-san, there was also this sense of embarrassment I’m feeling, as if I was being led around by the nose…… Well, not like this embarrassment makes me feel uncomfortable or anything like that……
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Kuh, guaaahhh…… T- This is rough. As for what’s rough, well, even though it looks like an older person teasing someone younger than them, Ein’s Affection Meter is actually really high, so what she’s doing is no different from how she’d usually make her passes on someone…… I could feel the sweetness.]
