My Knight in Crimson Armor (On-Hold For A While)

CHAPTER X: Beauty and the Best

(YOU CAN IGNORE THIS IF YOU WANT TO. Hey guys!!! So before you read this chappy, I just wanna apologize for the wrong Japanese words that I have written in this story. If you noticed it. You know, like 'wate' which is supposed to be 'matte' and 'sota' which is supposed to be 'souka.' I'm kinda new at this, so sorry for the mistakes minna-san~~~ I also want to thank ms. azkazarkasya for reminding me... Arigatou!!! As my deepest gratitude, this chappy is dedicated to you 😊😊😊 And sorry, I can't reply to your message since I have issues with my phone. Now minna-san, read this chappy and enjoy~~~)

Arata's POV

I heard about Ikaruga Shimon's latest 'battle' with one of Ijika's men, Ijika Yamato, from Officer Tsuchimikado, and not only that: it seems that they also planned on kidnapping Lady Mayura.

Now that is dangerous. Considering that they can do it to the Ikarugas and the Amawakas who weren't even part of the rebellion that happened centuries ago, they can also do it to the others, to us. But no. I swear, over my dead body: I will not let them do it to the Inanaki household. Not when I'm around. And if they plan on killing me, then I'm sure they'll fail: for I will survive this war, now that I have one goal: watching SNO Season 2 (which will never be true *sobs*) with... HER.

Thinking about it, I don't know why I felt such emotions to that black haired, black eyed, tanned-skin, half-Filipina maid of the Amawaka household. And I'm confused, for I came up with a goal which includes her, us rather.

Well, she is an otaku, so yeah... I mean, she was excited when I announced that there will be an SNO Season 2. But... I'm attracted to her. I already met a lot of otakus, even female ones, but I only felt this towards her, ONLY her. And I don't know how, or why. She is only a humble maid, not that it matters. And aside that, she has long, black hair and black eyes, that seems so plain and usual, unlike the 2D waifus that I have. But... Did she put a spell on me or something?

Even with plain physical features, and a flat chest, I'm sorry, she still managed to look... Perfect. Much more perfect, far more perfect than Heartfilia Lucy (did I spell her name right?) or Scarlet Erza, or any other Fairy Tail waifus that I have (lol I don't know, I just suddenly began to think about Fairy Tail. *nostalgic*)

And I admit, aside from the 'business' that I have with Seigen, she is also one of the main reason why I keep coming back to the Amawaka Mansion. Although... She doesn't talk to me anymore. It's been 3 days since I keep coming back to this place, but it seems like she doesn't have a plan to talk to me or even just greet me. Well, she greets me. FORMALLY.

"Uh-uh-hmm..." Here at the front door again, waiting for her to stop stuttering. "Ohayo, Arata-sama." then she bowed. Hmn. Maybe I'll talk to her later if Seigen is still not around. "Is Seigen here?" I asked. She shakes her head. "He went to the officer-in-charge's office to file a case against Ijika Yamato." I see. Ijika Yamato. Now that's a dangerous foe. He was known for slaughtering the bodies of innocent children, and he is also the main reason why the Unomiya Mafia is... Facing many conflicts. Due to him slaughtering children, he also massacred the Unomiya children 10 years ago. Although Unomiya Tenma managed to survive, but he was left, lonely and traumatized. He already faced solitude at a young age, only 11. It's a good thing that he has been captured. And I will be expecting Unomiya Tenma to also file a case against Ijika Yamato.

But just my luck! Looks like I finally have the opportunity to talk to her. "Come in!" she invited. And of course I accepted.

-TIMESKIP, LIVING ROOM.-

"Here, have some tea." she said, offering me a cup of warm tea. "Arigatou." I said. Now is my chance. I smiled at her. I don't usually smile, but oh well don't mind me.
