She looked at the interior of the mansion with admiration. The house with a classic French concept really stunned her.
The soft purple and white color covered the walls of the house.
Expensive home ornaments adorn the mansion.
A crystal sculpture waterfall pool in the shape of a beautiful goddess embracing a phoenix in the central hall of the mansion caught her attention.
Slowly, she stepped closer to the pool. Water flowed from around the goddess's hair to fill the beautifully carved pool. She pulled a smile.
"Miss Kasumi?"
Someone's greeting killed her reverie. She immediately looked back. A girl with shoulder-length hair stood behind her. The girl smiled sweetly.
“Please follow me. Mrs. Tezuka wants to meet you.” Said the girl.
She nodded. She followed the girl's footsteps. Her heart was beating fast.
Ryousei fixing his tie. The butler at Hikari Mansion is also his assistant, Uncle Ozu faithfully waiting in the room.
The old man just kept silent.
"I heard that there is a new maid, is that true?” ask Ryousei
He wears a black coat. He sat in front of a large mirror. Fixed his hair. After being satisfied, he turned to face Uncle Ozu.
“ Yes. Aunt Ono asked for her place to be changed in conjunction with her absence to Hokkaido. Her grandniece will work here part-time,” explained Uncle Ozu.
Ryousei's eyebrows almost knit together.
“ Working part-time? Is that girl still studying? ”. Ask Ryousei
He reached for a red apple that was on the table. He bit the apple and chewed it slowly. A backpack was placed on his shoulder. Ryousei walked out of the room.
Uncle Ozu nodded while following Ryousei step.
“ She was the same age as young master Ryousei or a year younger, I'm not sure. But that girl has moved into this house.”
“Can the girl do work?” asked Ryousei again.
“Aunt Inoue has arranged a schedule for him. After all, the girl's presence was just to fulfill Aunt Ono's request. The lady has agreed. The lady actually don't want the girl to work. That's enough just staying here while Aunt Ono is gone. But, Aunt Ono did not agree. She wants her grandniece to work too”
“ Where did she study?” asked Ryousei. The red apple was bitten again.
“ If I'm not mistaken, it's the same school as the young master. Hanami International High School (HIHS).”
Erk? Ryousei felt the red apple stuck in his throat. He coughed. Uncle Ozu's face was taken seriously.
“ Wh.....what? Does she go to school there?" He asked in disbelief.
The old man hesitantly nodded.
Ryousei slapped his forehead.
★End of Chapter 1 ★
Hi everyone Benny here I will put My Attention Seeker on hiatus because honestly I don't know what am I writing now. I promise that I will start that novel after this novel finished.
I am sorry if the language is weird because English is not my first language. Let me know what you think about this story in the comment.😁😁😁
Where are these two?
Yoshika looked at her watch. It's almost nine o'clock in the morning. Soon, class starts. However, at a glance two of her close friends are still not visible. Normally, the three of them would meet in this Great Hall.
Yoshika books and files are taken from the lockers. The locker door is closed and then locked. Just as Yoshika wanted to turn her body to the right, she bumped into someone. Her books and files fell on the floor. Her eyes quickly looked for who she hit earlier. Damn! The prince of the school!
"Sorry... sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you okay?" Yoshika asked anxiously. She held out her hand to help the boy stand, but her hand was roughly brushed aside.
The boy immediately got up and crouched in front of Yoshika.
Crazy! The height of this guy . I am just at his chest level, Kotomi's heart hissed. She had to look up. She stared at the boy's face.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I'm really sorry," repeated Yoshika. Repeatedly she bowed to apologize.
"Do you think that I'm a statue? Do you want to hit me for fun?"
The boy asked cynically.
Yoshika was stunned. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," said Yoshika again.
Yoshika did not dare to look at the man red face. She stared at the black shoes on her feet.
"It's nice of you to apologize. You did this on purpose, didn't you? You cheap girl!"
The boy sarcastically spoke a toneless sentence.
Yoshika's blood rose to her cheeks. Without any warning, her hand lightly tugged at the boy's tie. He almost made the boy fall.
"Hey! Are you crazy?"
The boy's forehead was hit strongly. Then the boy's foot was stomped as hard as she could.
"Hey!" fumed the boy. His forehead was held. He staggered with the pain in his leg.
"Do you think I bumped into you, you can say all kinds of things to me, you know? Please keep your mouth shut. What a arrogant prince! Do you think that you are the idol of many, am I afraid of you?" Said Yoshika angryly
The books and files that arelying on the floor were collected. She quickly walked away, leaving the boy behind. Before he could leave the Great Hall, the boy called her back. Yoshika quickly turned away.
"What's wrong?" Yoshika asked gruffly. She just wanted him to slap the boy. He really shouldn't insulted her like that. In the gentleness and patience she has, that doesn't mean she will remain silent if insulted by the call of a cheap girl.
"Hey, little girl! Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, I'll make you worse!" The boy was angry.
Yoshika stuck out her tongue. Without saying anything else, she immediately left the boy who was still screaming for her.
Ryousei threw his bag on the table. Toma, Shin and Hiro who were playing PSP turned towards him. Ryousei snorted loudly.
"Why is this? You seem angry?" Shin asked. He took a seat next to Ryousei.
Toma and Hiro also stood facing Ryousei.
Everyone was surprised to see Ryousei's sour face. "I met a crazy girl earlier," said Ryousei without making excuses. The event was still fresh in his memory box.
"Crazy girl? You mean Yui's group that crazy about you?" Hiro asked.
"No."
"Then who is it ?"
"That crazy girl hit me. My brain was on fire at the time, I scolded her. She apologized. I scolded her again. Then she did something. Is it okay for her to hit my forehead? It was strong, she stepped on it My legs. I'm really angry with that girl," explained Ryousei. He rubbed his forehead which still hurt.
"It's your fault. The girl has apologized, but you scolded the girl, how is the girl not upset? Is she our junior?" Toma interrupted.
"I think that girl is our junior. Look at her small body. I feel like she's as tall as my chest," said Kira again.
The petite body of the girl who attacked him earlier was imagined in his mind
"It's small. You're as tall as a giraffe," said Toma again.
Hiro and Shin laughed.
Ryousei also smiled.
"I don't want to be very angry with the girl because he hit me. But, what I'm angry with her because my forehead and legs were her victims. It doesn't fit me, it hurts like crazy," said Ryousei again.
"If you see her again, what will you do?" Shin asked
Ryousei grinned. "You'll know later”
Nori and Ran approached Yoshika who was at the window. Yoshika's shoulder was patted warmly.
Yoshika immediately turned around.
"Oh it's you guys. What?" asked Yoshika.
She cast a glance outside watching the waterfall pool located in the school garden. Some students are in the garden with white canvas and painting tools. Maybe the students from the art department, she thought.
"We've been watching you brooding ever since. Why? Do you have a problem?" Ran asked.
Yoshika shook her head.
"It's nothing. Don't worry," said Yoshika with a smile on her lips.
This is Yoshika second year studying here. If her grandmother hadn't generously funded her education at this elite school, maybe Yoshika wouldn't be here.
Her grandmother worked as a head maid in a rich man's house.
Almost all the students who attend school here come from wealthy families.
The same goes for Nori and Ran. Their parents are successful businessmen.
While her mother only works as a hairdresser in Hokkaido.
Even so, both of her best friends accept Yoshika as she is regardless of her background.
While her mother was in Hokkaido, Yoshika stayed at her grandmother's house. But now, her grandmother has gone to Hokkaido and will be staying there for six months. Yoshika will live with her grandmother's employer during that period.
"You really don't have a problem?" asked Nori.
"That's right, I don't have a problem. It's break time, right? Let's go to the cafe. I'm hungry." Yoshika said. Her face brightened. She linked the arms of her two friends, walking out of the classroom.
★ End of Chapter 2 ★
Yoshika, are you ready? called Aunt Inoue from outside the door.
The door opened. Yoshika left the room. A black and white uniform covered her small body.
Aunt Inoue smiled.
Miss Inoue. "That uniform really suits you," praised her.
The maid's thigh-high black dress really suits Kotomi. Furthermore, Kotomi tied a single braid on the right side of her head. A white apron is worn.
"Aunt Inoue?" Call Yoshika . "Yes?"
"Why is this dress thigh-high? It have black calf-length leggings too. I saw the other maid's dresses were all calf-length, why it isn't like me?" asked Yoshika.
She thought the question was funny, but she couldn't stop herself from asking it. It is True, all the other maids she noticed were wearing calf-length dress, but why was she different? Is there something?
"The ma'am chose this dress herself. If you want to know, ask ma'am. But, I think that this dress suits you. After all, you are still a teenager," answered Aunt Inoue.
She gently rubbed Yoshika head. Yoshika looked at her with love.
Yoshika nodded.
"When do you want to introduce me to everyone else?" asked Yoshika.
"Come on, everyone is waiting for you in the kitchen. Let's go," said Aunt Inoue.
Yoshika hand was pulled. They both headed to the kitchen. Along the way, Yoshika saw the state of the mansion. Luxurious, but no laughter can be heard from its occupants.
Aunt Inoue had told her, this mansion was called Hikari Mansion. There are ten rooms, five guest rooms, a library, a gymnasium, two living rooms, a gallery and two swimming pools in this house. That doesn't include the rose garden Mrs. Fubuki is working on. The maid's room area is located in the southern part of the mansion. The library, gymnasium and gallery are located in the northern part while the living room is combined and located in the central space of Hikari Mansion. The crystal goddess sculpture she saw during the day marked the border of the two living rooms.
"Yoshika, welcome to Hikari Mansion.” said Aunt Inoue
A beautifully carved Doors in front of her were opened. All the staff were gather in the kitchen.
Yoshika was stunned. She didn't think there was this many maids at Hikari Mansion. So the girl approached Yoshika.
"Nice to meet you, Yoshika. We met yesterday. I'm Miyuki. This is my twin sister, the girl Fuyuki.
They both bowed respectfully to Yoshika and so did Yoshika.
"They're both my children. Yoshika, this is Aunt Nami, she's the head cook here. Michiko and Seshuke are her assistants. This is..."
One by one they were introduced to Yoshika. They were all friendly with Yoshika, much to Yoshika relief.
While they were chatting, the door was opened and an old man entered the kitchen. The old man looked neat in a black suit.
"Yoshika, introduce yourself. This is Uncle Ozu, he is our young master's butler and assistant. Uncle Ozu is one of the assistants who has been working here for a long time, just like your grandmother," explained Aunt Inoue.
Yoshika nodded. He approached the old man. "How are you? I'm Kasumi Yoshika, a new assistant here. Please teach me," said Yoshika. She bowed respectfully in front of Uncle Ozu.
Uncle Ozu smiled.
“Call me Uncle Ozu. I has known your grandmother for a long time. Don't worry, just consider us all like your family," Uncle Ozu ordered.
"What Uncle Ozu said is true. After all, there are both of us," said Fuyuki.
The two twins linked Yoshika's arms.
"That's right. You have to tease the twins every day." Uncle Ozu said again.
Yoshika laughed happily. "Thanks, everyone."
