Chapter 367: Naos Identity (1/2)
”Thank you, Young Master,” Nao replied and bowed to him respectfully.
”I don't know if this works, but I think it does. Do you want to test it yourself?” Lawrend asked with a smile on his face.
”...Yes,” Nao replied, a bit unsure.
”Give me your hand.”
Lawrend grabbed his hand and flipped his palm upright.
'Huh? It's so smooth…' Lawrend thought to himself in confusion as he stared at Nao's hand.
”Y-Young Master..?”
”*Cough* This will hurt a bit.”
Lawrend regained his composure and pointed his right index finger on her palm.
*BZZZT*
Lawrend created a small cut using his lightning magic.
”Ahh~!” Nao moaned weirdly like a girl.
”...”
Nao quickly realized what she had done and covered her mouth with her hand. Lawrend stared at her in disbelief.
”Wait, don't tell me you're gay!?” Lawrend exclaimed.
He was immediately reminded of horrible memories from his past life when a gay man would sneakily approach him in a tight full train before touching him somewhere weird.
Although not all of them are like that in his past life, the way Nao approached him on purpose made him think that he was one of those people.
”...What?”
Nao was stunned by his words.
”M-Master, it's not that…” Humility said.
Even she could tell what was going on by now—why a butler would approach her Master in the first place.
In her opinion, there could only be one reason why, and that was…
”What do you mean?” Lawrend asked Humility in confusion.
”Master, look at her face,” Humility replied.
”Her face??”
Lawrend raised his head and stared at Nao's face. She was blushing red like a girl caught doing something bad.
”Huhhhhhhhhh!???”
Lawrend widened his eyes in disbelief. He stared at Nao and Humility alternately.
”I-I can explain…” Nao said shyly.
”You're a woman!?”
”Yes…”
Nao nodded her head embarrassedly.
”Fufufufu. As expected of Master to attract another woman,” Aezel laughed on the side.
”So that's why Nao smelled weird,” Amene muttered.
”I don't smell weird!” Nao responded angrily in a manly voice.
”Nyahahaha. You smelled fragrant,” Amene replied.
”!!”
Amene's words only turned Nao redder in embarrassment.
Lawrend closed his eyes and relaxed himself. He grabbed her shoulders and opened his mouth.
”Why are you crossdressing?”
Lawrend had a serious and determined-to-get-her-answer look on his face.
”I can't become a butler if I'm a g-girl,” Nao replied.
”Did Albert know this?” Lawrend asked.
”He did,” Nao replied.
”That sneaky old butler… I will scold him when I see him,” Lawrend said with gritted teeth.
