Vol 5 Chapter 6 (2/2)

[No, please . ]

I invited the proprietress into the room at once .

[Thank you, then let me replace it . Oh? This book… May I ask if this is the book that got really popular recently?]

The proprietress who noticed the book took it and held it in her hand for a while .

I talked about the book’s popularity whilst trying to remind her of the bedsheets . She didn’t react much and put the book back onto the desk .

[Yes, it seems so . I couldn’t read because I had no time but ……]

[Is that so!?  You should read it by all means . ]

I somehow got really embarra.s.sed when I saw the appearance of the proprietress stripping off the bed sheet .

[I would like to read it if I have a chance . Well then, I shall take my leave . ]

The door closed and I was alone again .

When I looked out of the window by chance I saw the proprietress cleaning the front door?!?

I got puzzled when I heard a voice .

[Customer? I have the replacement sheet, may I come in? ]

[Didn’t you just leave a few moments ago?]

Not even ten seconds had pa.s.sed since she left .

I was at a loss to the proprietress who had come back at that speed .

[h.e.l.lo? I came to replace the bed sheet . ]

[Yes! I’ll open the door . ]

After I opened the door whilst being surprised the figure of the proprietress disappeared from the door . The proprietress exchanged the bed sheet without sparing the book a glance and a clean impression returned to the bed .

[Is something the matter? ]

[You’ve just left, right? ]

[Yes, I went out and came back? ]

[You were cleaning outside, right?]

[… I did . ]

[I’m here now, right?]

[… You are there . ]

[What’s going on… Huh? ]

It was very questionable .

As an answer to my confusion the proprietress put her index finger on her mouth and said

[It’s a secret ☆ ]

「…」

If the proprietress wouldn’t have been expressionless I might have completely fallen in love with her .

It was a appearance with such a destructive power .

[Well then, I shall take my leave . ]

After I had stiffened the proprietress left the room .
