Chapter 124 - 22 - My Master Weirdness

Chapter 124: Chapter 22 - My Master Weirdness

There’s a saying that calm seas don’t make skilled sailors.

At first, I didn’t understand what that meant. But after seeing Master Reina suddenly appear before my eyes, at that time, a new saying was born.

’A master who’s hard to understand will make a strong maid in any situation,’ that was the new saying that had entered my head. My tease to Master Amagi, with sweet words and excuses to refuse that embarrassing apology in the future, then an attempt to refuse a kiss on the lips or cheeks as an apology, already reached Master Reina’s ears.

She appeared before me without a sound, without any discernible presence, and suddenly appeared like an uninvited ghost in the night. Perhaps I was too focused on teasing Master Amagi that I forgot where I was in this quiet library.

On this quiet night, the sound of the library entrance door opening should have been heard, and Master Reina’s footsteps echoed all over the place.

Did Master Reina sneak into the library?

Just like I did to surprise Master Amagi?

Master Reina couldn’t possibly have the same naughty idea as me, right?

This would become a major problem later on if this small matter were to reach the ears of Marchioness Shinano Vii Lichtberg and Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld. Apologizing with a kiss on the cheek or lips would be considered a disgrace to the nobility, as I was merely a maid who shouldn’t have done such a rude thing to my Master.

"Curious about what happened between us, Reina?" Master Amagi said with an elegant smile.

The expression on her face was completely different from what I’d seen before. Master Amagi, who had enjoyed being stared at with disgust, had transformed into an elegant noblewoman before Master Reina’s eyes. Our teasing conversation had vanished, replaced by Master Amagi’s innocent aura as she warmly welcomed Master Reina in this quiet library.

"I’m not asking you! I’m asking Liliana!" Master Reina replied in annoyance that she couldn’t hold back any longer.

I’m getting more and more used to seeing them constantly bickering. It would actually feel strange if they didn’t, given their conflicting natures.

I’d seen with my own eyes the moment they agreed on something, and it was a terrible thing that happened right before my eyes. Letting them fight with words was the best option. It was like not touching a television antenna cable that was still functioning properly. The slightest touch that moved the cable’s position would turn into a hassle, as I had to find the cable’s position that would produce the clearest picture on television.

Not touching something that should have happened- that’s already the right choice, right?

"I’m with Liliana right now. Everything that has happened is my responsibility as her Master and Liliana’s duty to keep it as a secret between us. There’s no need to interfere in our problems," without explaining what happened earlier, Master Amagi tried to set a line that Master Reina should not cross.

"Oh? How funny... You think I will just keep quiet after seeing my maid say something that makes me interested in doing it too?" Master Reina did not seem to give up so easily; with her arms folded across her chest, she showed a strong authority that did not want to lose to Master Amagi.

Spaarrkkk!!

Sppaaarrkk!!

Whether it was my eyes starting to get sleepy or my weird imagination suddenly activating, I saw sparks of fire flying between Master Reina and Master Amagi. They stared at each other, smiling silently, and were busy thinking of ways to continue their verbal battle.

What about me?

To be fair... was there anything I could do other than watch them in the heat of the moment when they were both verbally arguing?

Of course there’s nothing I can do!

I’m not as crazy as the Head Maid who survived a fight with Duchess Adelheid Von Blutfeld. My current abilities are nothing more than surviving and working cheerfully as an apprentice maid.

But there is something I can do, and it always works, which is to stop their fight with a sweet threat.

Yeah, I will do it, when the times come...

"It’s not that important for Reina. You can definitely stand all the temptations Liliana gives you, right? I can see it in your eyes... So, this apology in the form of a kiss is not that important to you."

A fuel that ignited Master Reina’s emotions spilled from Master Amagi’s mouth. Her expression, which had been holding back anger, nearly melted away and exploded. But Master Reina managed to control it, causing her to smile.

"Maybe not... with such sincere teasing, how could I be angry? I would have asked Liliana to do it even more seriously. Speaking of teasing Liliana. Would you rather be stared at in disgust by Liliana?" Master Reina asked in a tone that belittled Master Amagi.

"..."

"..."

Master Amagi and I fell silent for a moment. We thought Master Reina would take the bait, dousing her with fuel to incite anger. What happened wasn’t Master Reina’s explosive anger, but rather her desire to subdue her interlocutor in the most elegant manner possible, befitting a noblewoman.

Master Amagi remained silent after hearing Master Reina’s reply, seemingly at a loss for words. Her mind went blank, and she turned to look at me as if to say, "Did she just hit her head on a rock or something?"

I could understand Master Amagi’s confused state of mind. The Master Reina we knew wouldn’t hesitate to scold others with harsh words. This seemed like my master’s personality had been switched. Master Amagi, who was usually calm, was now acting stubborn, and Master Reina, who couldn’t control her emotions well, was calmer than usual.

All I can say is... this situation is really weird, as if they ate something wrong during dinner time.

Huh? Wait a minute...

They eat spicy mayonnaise sandwiches as the main course of their dinner, right?

Is that what caused their nature to change drastically like this?

I’ll have to research this further if it’s true.

Who would have thought that spicy food would change a person’s personality in such a way, right?

It would be worthwhile research for the future of the troubled Villainess girls. Guiding them on the right path through spicy food doesn’t sound so bad either.

With that thought in my head, I blinked to answer, "That might be what happened..."

Because this felt too strange, I agreed with Master Amagi. Although my deepest thoughts held another theory that contradicted Master Amagi’s suspicions.

"Why are you so quiet, Amagi? Have you admitted that you’re the one Liliana likes to stare at in disgust?" Master Reina continued, sounding as if she was waiting for Master Amagi to confess.

"I already told Liliana my answer. There’s no need to answer it again, right? It doesn’t really matter to you either, since you’re not Liliana," replied Master Amagi, who began to counterattack with her graceful words.

"As your best friend, I need to know what you like. If Liliana’s look of disgust makes you happy, then I can have our family painter draw Liliana’s look of disgust on a large canvas that covers your bedroom wall. Much better than seeing it on photo paper that fades easily, right?"

"That’s very kind of you, Reina. This is the first time I’ve heard such a good thing from you as a friend. But unfortunately, I don’t really like looking at Liliana’s painting. You know, experiencing it in real time might make your heart flutter. Want to feels it? Trust me... it will great for you."

I could see Master Amagi’s bait tied to the hook, trying to pique Master Reina’s curiosity. It sounded like, "If you don’t believe me, try it yourself!" or something like that.

Master Reina’s eyebrows twitched as if she were feeding on the curiosity Master Amagi was provoking. She tried to restrain herself from falling for the temptation before her eyes.

Shhuurrsshhh...

Shhrruusshhh...

Master Amagi’s elbow touched my arm as if telling me to show an expression of disgust and stare at Master Reina.

"Show Reina your disgust, Liliana," she whispered in a soft tone and allowed me to act.

For some reason, things had turned out this way. I didn’t want to arouse Master Reina’s strange interests or fetishes, as I had unintentionally done to Master Amagi.

Seeing two Villainess girls enjoying the disgusted gaze of their maid, it sounds very perverted and immoral as a noble girl, right?

Even though this novel’s world has an adult rating and various Heroine characters that trigger the main character’s hidden fetishes, I didn’t write anything that detailed in Villainess girls.

I sighed and complied with Master Amagi’s request to stare at Master Reina with disgust. Using my previous experience, I narrowed my eyes and let the black shadows cast by my bangs obscure my face. I stared at Master Reina out of the corner of my eye with a condescending expression.

"I really do have a Master who likes to be considered useless, huh?" I said in a sentence that sounded a little rude, but still managed to be considered polite when using a gentle tone.

"Are you satisfied with being stared at uselessly like this, Master Reina?" I continued, my expression now showing a look of unwillingness to look at her.

Kiirrraaa...

Kiirrraaaa...

Just like Master Amagi’s reaction earlier, Master Reina clutched her chest. Her lips seemed to want to say something to me, and her eyes sparkled at seeing me act so rudely.

"Now you feel what I feel, right?" said Master Amagi, smiling triumphantly.

"That’s how I felt before."

"Being stared at in disgust by Liliana isn’t so bad, is it?"

For some reason, things are getting weirder and weirder in this library.
