Chapter 16 (2/2)

「No. Wilhelm-sama is the person that is going to be Ojou-sama’s companion. If that is so, it means that you are my master. As long as you had not disagreed with Ojou-sama, I will serve as a maid」

Natalia is a great maidservant, but it is her bad point that she is a little stiff.

Wilhelm-sama is also confused.

「Well then, Wilhelm-sama, is there a good place to have lunch?」

「……hmm. If that is so, we should go to the rooftop after a long time」

「Rooftop!」

That is very pleasant.

Even in the school, I have been longing to take meals on the rooftop. But in the end, my closest friend, she refused saying「It’s troublesome going to the rooftop」, so I was not able to go with her.

It means, it is my first rooftop lunch. It is my first time.

“I had my first time together with Wilhelm-sama”, just thinking of that makes my cheeks red.

「Well then, let’s go. Is there no other knights on the rooftop?」

「Ahh. Only I have the key to the rooftop」

That is excellent. It is really a conversation with just the two of us. Natalia’s also there though.

Come to think of it, I wonder what would Natalia eat for lunch.

「Ojou-sama, please do not worry」

「Eh」

「My meal, I have prepared it separately. In the basket there, it only has Wilhelm-sama and Ojou-sama’s part. I will take my meal in a place not that far away」

I wonder why.

My servant is so excellent that it is scary.

For the meantime, Wilhelm-sama and I, and also Natalia, we went towards the rooftop.

Because the area is very wide, the rooftop of the order of knights is not that high, although there is still three floors. We climbed up the stairs, and we finally reached it.

I am the only who is out of breath.

Wilhelm-sama, your strides are too long…….

Along the way, he had matched it with me, but at that time, I was already out of breath.

My lack of stamina is very depressing.

「Let us do it around here」

「Yes, Wilhelm-sama」

Natalia spread out the cloth that she had brought, and I sat beside Wilhelm-sama. Wilhelm-sama who sits for about more than half of the cloth, he is really big after all.

After opening the basket, there were colorful sandwiches placed inside it.

It is Chris’s sandwich that I really like.

「Please, help yourself. It is made by our House’s cook」

「I will have some, excuse me」

「No. Not at all」

I also, while saying that, I ate the sandwich. As I have thought, Chris’s sandwich is very delicious.

The perfect balance of salt, it is very hard to copy.

「Hmm, delicious」

「Isn’t it? Chris is very good at cooking」

「Before, when I was invited to your home party, I had thought that it is delicious too……had your cook not change?」

「Yes. At that time, she is not the head cook though」

「Hmm. I had really not shown my face there that long huh. I had not shown myself since……」

「It has been four years, three months, and twenty-one days」

I remembered the days that I had longed for him, unable to meet him, and could not help but saying the date.

I, had taken count of it very well.

Wilhelm-sama had lost himself for a bit, and after that, he slightly nodded.

「……I had not gone, that long huh」

「Yes. Uhmm……Wilhelm-sama, I have a suggestion」

While holding back my pounding heart, I said that to Wilhelm-sama.

I want to have a connection with him somewhere. If this continues, I think that the days that I would not be able to meet Wilhelm-sama would continue.

If that is so, I want to have a connection with him here.

「Starting tomorrow……Wilhelm-sama, can I bring you lunch?」

For at least, during lunch.

I want blissful times to pa.s.s.
