Ayanokoji POV
I manage to fake my death, thanks to Matsuo-san's help. I hope he'll be okay in the future.

Flashback
"Kiyotaka-sama time for your snack."
Matsuo the butler said.
"Just leave it there Matsuo-san, I'll eat it later." Normally I don't use honorifics to anyone except Matsuo-san. Truth to be told he's the only person who showed me love and compassion even though I'm not his son.
"Kiyotaka-sama, come here let me tell you something."
"What is it Matsuo-san?"
"Kiyotaka-sama do you want to experience what's the feeling in the outside world?" He whispered.
Now this piqued my interest.
"Of course, but how are you going to do it Matsuo-san?"
"I'm going to let you escape, but you'll work as a butler. Are you fine with that?"
Butler huh?
"I'm fine with that Matsuo-san, but what about you? I don't know what my father will do to you if he finds out you help me escape."
"Don't worry about me Kiyotaka-sama, I already lost my loved one's, and I already lived long enough." I'm grateful to you Matsuo-san. You have my respect.
"How will we do it? There's tons of guards watching for me."
"Don't worry, Kiyotaka-sama I've planned this for a while. While you take your bath, I will leave the gas stove open and blow this mansion up. I then will hide you in the underground and plant a dead body and fake the DNA test. You remind me of my son and I pity you for not experiencing freedom."
"Thank you very much Matsuo-san, I won't forget this."
"You're welcome Kiyotaka-sama."

Timeskip 3 days later.  3rd person view

Matsuo blow the mansion up and hid Kiyotaka underground and prepared the dead body of another kid and fake the DNA test.
Kiyotaka successfully escape and became the butler of a prestigious family.
3 weeks after completing the training for being the butler.

Kiyokata POV

The training  isn't that hard, but I still have trouble smiling since I don't have emotions. I wonder how is Matsuo? I hope he is alright.

Another day of training how to smile, they said to think of a memory or an event that makes me feel happy. I think about having a normal and peaceful life and I unconsciously smile.

"BINGO! That's what I like Kiyotoka boy!" said the butler instructor with a pumped up energy.
"Ehh? Did I smile?"
"EHHH? You didn't notice?"
"Uhhhhh... Maybe because I was thinking of a happy event in my mind."
"Just think about a happy event in your life, but never space out. Okay?" seriously this instructor looks like he has unlimited energy.
"alright, sensei!" My father said that emotions drive us weak, but other people say that it's what human drive to go on, or be motivated.
"Kiyotaka, there's a party later. Don't forget to smile okay? There's also a reward."
"What's the reward sensei?"
"You'll be a 1st class butler and you'll get a high payment every month base on your performance."

Timeskip
After the butler competition, they task me to play the piano. Taking advantage of the chance, I touch the piano keys gracefully and play the moonlight sonata, and fur elise.
I was chosen as the personal butler of their child Kiryuin Fuka, of the Kiryuin Family.
My first impression of her is beautiful and looking at her physique she's strong.
They said that she's quite strong and can easily defeat boys her age.

1 and a half month later
After being hired as the personal butler of Kiryuin Fuka, they said to spar with her.

"Kiyotaka-kun please spar with my daughter, she's itching to battle you since she saw your daily routine and she said you're quite strong." Albert-sama said.
"If you say so, Albert-sama."
"Butler-kun, don't hold back." She said while smirking.
"Ready? Start!"
I immediately rush towards her and launch a punch at her ribs, she dodge sideways, she didn't know that was a trap to catch her off-guard, using my momentum from the punch I spin and launch a sidekick towards her temple, but I stop midway and air rush through her face due to the power and speed.
They're shock that someone is capable of defeating their daughter in matter of seconds.

"Bravo! I didn't expect you to be this strong Butler-kun."
"Thanks for the compliment, Kiryuin Fuka-sama."
"Call me Fuka-sama, and I'll call you Kiyotaka-kun, how's that?"
"I'm fine with that Fuka-sama."
"I hope you're not just a muscle head, Kiyotaka-kun."
"Fuka-chan, if you didn't know he aced the test of a university level test I gave him yesterday. And also he finished it in an hour and 45 minutes."
"Well well... Can you tutor me Kiyotaka-kun~?"
"Of course, Fuka-sama."
"Hmmmm.... Ever since you got here I didn't see you smile." seriously what a cheeky employer.
"I'm very sorry Fuka-sama, but I have trouble expressing my feelings." Well that wasn't a lie though.
"Well then, how about I teach you how to smile?" that's not a bad offer tho.
"I'm honoured Fuka-sama."
"I'm glad you two are getting along.
Oh yeah! Kiyotaka-kun, you will transfer to Fuka's middle-school, please take care of her."
"Of course Albert-sama, it's my job as her personal butler."

"Good morning class I have an important announcement! Today we'll have a transfer student~! Please introduce yourself Ayanokoji-kun."

"Greetings! My name is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, you can call me Kiyo. My hobbies are reading books and playing chess. Feel free to call me if you need tutor as I am confident in my academic ability. I'm pleased studying with all of you."
I unconsciously let out a smile as I was satisfied with my introduction making the girls a blushing mess.
" Ara~. I thought you don't know how to smile."
"Ehh? Did I smile? By the way Fuka-sama. Are you sick?"
"Oh~~ I'm not sick. I'm just surprised how handsome my butler is." Wow she's quite bold.
"Thanks for the compliment Fuka-sama."

"Fuka-sama can I check the basketball club?"
"Of course! I'll watch your try out. If you impress me I'll shout 'That's my baby!'
Or something like 'Darling gambatte!'
HEHEHE." How bold.
"Uhhhhh... You don't have to say something like that Fuka-sama."
"Just don't impress me Kiyo-kun~."
*sigh. I guess I have to hold back. Just enough to join the basketball team.

"Lineup! There'll be 7 minutes every quarter so do your best everyone." The coach said with a joy and excitement in his eyes.

I'm part of the first 5. As soon as the refery whistled, the jumpers jump their hardest to get the ball first.
I immediately guard the ball handler not to tight as not to stand out too much.
Or so I thought. I decided to test if she really have the courage to shout those words.

I steal the ball from the handler, and run towards our ring and shoot the ball for three points. I scored and run back to defend.
I didn't hear her said that so I'll go a little rough on defense.
4 minutes have passed our score is 15-10 for the enemy team. My individual score is 10 with 4 steals and 3 blocks. Still I didn't hear her said anything.
With only 1 second remaining for the quarter they pass the ball to me and shoot the ball from the enemy's ring and scored, then a disturbing word echoed through the gym.
"THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND!!" Well that really caught me off guard.
........
..............
......................
"EHHHHHHHH!" Shouted the players and students.
"I told you that if you impress me I'll shout those words!"
"Well, Fuka-sama that was just sheer dumb luck." I said.
"I don't care, you still impressed me."
"Gonna admit that caught me off guard."
"Heh! Don't underestimate me Kiyotaka-kun." Well that's the proof.
"Ayanokoji what a lucky bastard you are!
You got the prettiest girl in our school just from a full court shot?!"
"Well she's just joking."
"Joking my neck! She's blushing really hard right now!"
"Who wouldn't blush if someone shouted like that?"
"Now, now. Please observe the game." the coach said.
After the tryout I was immediately accepted.

"Congrats Kiyotaka-kun. The two of us will be the center of attention tomorrow thanks to me." Yeah it's all thanks to you. I have a feeling that she's planning something..
