LADY AI YASHAJIN’S AGITATION
“Actually, the other outfit is better.”
My Lady, Ai Yashajin, says as I opened the car door for her. This is the sixth time she has gone back inside to change her wardrobe.
“My Lady. We are short on time ……”
My name is Akira Ikeda. I’m under the employ of the Yashajin family.
More specifically, I am charged with looking after Ai Yashajin as well as being her bodyguard.
On a side note, I run my own smart phone app development company while My Lady is attending elementary school, so I am an entrepreneur as well. Though I suffered a major setback, I have learned from my mistakes and now run a profitable business.
However, while life appears to be on the up and up, I do have a situation to contend with.
Recently …… My Lady has become absurdly adorable.
Today, while preparing to meet her Shogi master Yaichi Kuzuryu-Ryuo,
“I don’t have any good shoes, so I’m not going.”
“My Lady.”
Without setting one foot outside the property, this same conversation has repeated itself in some capacity for the past five hours. To be more precise, she has been on edge since yesterday.
The reason is plainly obvious. Though she believes she is keeping it well hidden, it is out in the open for all to see.
Which is also adorable.
Of course, I feel a twinge of loneliness at the possibility My Lady may be taken away. I’ve even considered eliminating the man responsible. It would be easy. I already have a hole prepared it to bury the body.
However, My Lady’s happiness is far more important than my opinion.
My emotions do not factor into it. It’s My Lady’s that takes precedent, and her happiness is therefore my greatest reward.
And, since I absolutely love taking pictures of cute young girls, getting to see My Lady dressed in colors other than black is absurdly adorable and very much a welcome sight!
As Kuzuryu-sensei also prefers the young, it should be a win-win relationship as well.
“It’s too windy outside today so I don’t want to go.”
“My Lady.”
That may be so, but there is a limit to which he can be forced to wait.
If he returns home and she is unable to see him …… My Lady will surely be disappointed.
“The bread I had with breakfast this morning was dry, so I’m not going.”
“My Lady. Please, calm yourself. That is not a valid reason.”
“Calm, I am calm! Can’t you see how calm I am?! Why would I eber feel angious about seeing that biece of trash?!”
“My Lady.”
You’re forgetting to enunciate. And that is oh so adorable.
This brand-new emotion starting to bloom within you …… Thinking about it only makes the ache grow stronger. I fully understand. However, I will ask anyway.
“Your outfit is perfectly coordinated, My Lady. Normally we would have departed posthaste, so why are you so conflicted today?”
“……………………”
My Lady lowers her gaze in an attempt to hide her reddening cheeks.
“…………………………… But, it would be embarrassing …… to be seen in weird clothes …………”
Oh, so adorable!!
“Oh, so adorable!!!!”
“Wahhh?! Wh-What’s the matter, Akira ……? Raising your voice like that ……”
“Pardon me. My inner thoughts managed to come out.”
Wiping up the stream of blood that came out of my nose along with my scream, I collect myself and calmly tell her.
“My Lady. The time of our appointment has long since passed. I believe that tardiness and breaking promises would not reflect well on the Yashajin family name or its heiress.”
“Ngh …………”
Conflicting emotions pass across My Lady’s face before turning bright red and she yells.
“F-Fine! My hands are tied! I’ll go just because I hate breaking promises! Don’t you dare get the wrong idea!!”
“But, of course not, My Lady. You are an upstanding young woman.”
At long last, she takes a seat in the back of the car.
Going through final preparations to depart, I breathe a sigh of relief and look to adjust the rearview mirror.
The moment I meet My Lady’s gaze in the mirror …… I realize that our entire exchange had been for not.
“I don’t like my bangs so I’m not going.”
“My Lady.”
