20 - Is this a fight over a useless person, or is this a hell?
"Hey, Kazu-kun? What happens here? Why are you suddenly being called 'Master'? I’m here, so you don’t need other girls, okay? I can devote myself to you as much as you want! After all, I promised to take care of you, right? I was thrilled when you asked me to take care of you. I still remember that very moment clearly, you know? It made me feel like you really needed me. When I first met you, Kazu-kun, I felt it was fate. I knew at first glance that you were the one destined for me. That’s why I always wanted to be by your side and wanted you to rely on me. That way we could always be together. I will definitely keep that promise, no matter what. I’ll support you for life. So, Kazu-kun, you should only be supported by me for life too. Only me. Only I will support you, and I’ll accept you no matter what kind of Kazu-kun you are. You can be as much of a loser as you want. No matter what kind of Kazu-kun you are, you’re still Kazu-kun to me. Besides, I thought it was better if you became a loser so that other girls wouldn’t come near you. But hey, why are you hugging another girl, now? What does that 'Master'-thing mean? Does it mean I’m not doing enough for you? I’m the only one who can accept your flaws, you know? Even Arisa-chan would be put off by this. No, Kazu-kun. No. I’m the one who’s supposed to make you a loser, so if you’re letting other girls take care of you, that’s a big problem, okay? Do you understand, Kazu-kun? Are you even really listening to me?"
"Ah, yes. I’m listening, yes, I am."
That was a lie. I was not listening at all.
It was super long, and I had a gut feeling that listening to this was a bad idea, so I was tuning out completely. Sorry about it, but this was terrifying. So it was not my fault, okay.
With her eyes devoid of lights, Setsuna spoke to me in a flat tone without a pause, and all I could do was nod along, over and over.
The trembling in my body was definitely not just my imagination.
I thought I had a strong mental state, but the pressure coming from Setsuna right now was something else.
She was giving off this dark aura, and it felt really dangerous.
Maybe worried about me, Ichinose leaned in to talk to me.
"Are you okay, Master?"
Wait, her way of addressing me changed. Is she really calling 'me' Master?
Well, given what she said earlier, it must be true, but in this situation, it felt a bit embarrassing.
I thought I understood a little bit how those otaku who wanted to go to maid cafes felt, but that aside, I was definitely not okay in this situation.
Still hugging Ichinose, I responded.
"I might not be okay… Can I hug you a little longer?"
"Yes, of course. As much as you like. Being needed by you, Master, is my joy."
Ichinose looked at me with feverish eyes.
I thought she was expressionless until just now, but seeing her up close, her cheeks were slightly flushed.
I was somewhat impressed that she could show such an expression, and I couldn’t help but look up at her.
And for a moment, our gazes intertwined, but then―――
"―――What are you two staring at each other for?"
A chilling dead voice sliced through the space between us.
"Hiiii… S-Setsuna-san, this is, um, different!"
"What’s different? You were just flirting with Ichinose-san, were you not? I saw it with my very own eyes."
"No, that’s not it! I-Ichinose! Tell her we’re not like that, please!"
I was seriously freaking out at Setsuna’s pitch-black eyes piercing onto me, and I couldn’t help but plead with Ichinose.
But,
"...Master, could you please call me Himeno?"
"Huh!?"
"I think it's a bit unfair to call Takanashi-san and Tsukishiro-san by their given names casually while referring to me by my surname."
Saying this, Ichinose puffed up her cheeks. It was a side of her I hadn’t known, but I felt there was absolutely no need for her to show it in this situation.
"By your name...?"
Watching our exchange, Setsuna's dark aura intensified. She was no longer a bright idol but a full-on darkness-cloaked bunny girl.
At this point, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to take my head off in one swift motion.
Seeing that, I panicked. I genuinely felt a sense of danger. I had no choice but to act desperate.
"No, this isn’t the time for that!?"
"But it’s very important to me. Please, call me by my name."
"W-wait, hold on!?"
Ichinose insisted, leaning in closer.
Wow, she's surprisingly this selfish, huh!? No, more than that, she was completely missing the atmosphere!!??
Anyone could see that we were in a major crisis right now!?
"Hmm... I see. So Ichinose-san feels that way… I thought we could get along, but that’s too bad."
Before I realized it, Setsuna had moved right next to us.
At a hair’s breadth away, my dark bunny childhood friend glared daggers at the white bunny maid.
"......Takanashi-sama, could you please not interfere? We're currently in the middle of forming a master-servant bond."
Yet, Ichinose didn’t flinch.
Any man would be trembling for being confronted by this much hostility, but she held her ground without a trace of fear.
"Do you think I’ll just allow that?"
"Why would your permission matter? You're merely Master's childhood friend, aren't you?"
Sparks were flying between them.
My legs felt like they were turning to jelly from fear.
This space had already transformed into a battlefield between the two.
"Hey, both of you, please calm do..."
"I promised Kazu-kun I’d take care of him for life."
"That was a childhood promise, wasn’t it? This person is my destined master now."
"Hawawawawa!"
Nope, this is bad. Really bad.
"It’s my job to turn Kazu-kun into a useless person. I absolutely can’t let anyone take that role from me."
"I see. Then I’ll take on that responsibility and make him an even bigger failure. You, Takanashi-sama, should focus on your idol work and pleasing the young lady."
Setsuna's gaze grew even sharper at Ichinose's provocation of using her master as a bargaining chip, which is unthinkable for a maid.
"You’ve got some nerve, don't you…"
"And you, as well."
At this point, the atmosphere had become so tense that no one could intervene.
No one could stop this black-and-white bunny standoff.
They both took a deep breath together, and then, they shouted in unison,
""I’m the one who will turn Kazu-kun/Master into a useless person!!!""
......Excuse me, but what about my will here? There was absolutely no way I could say that here.
