'Just be your normal gentle self—that's all you need to do. You don't need to respect me or feel that you're below me.'
Mai could feel the heartfelt sincerity in Seiji's words and widened her eyes slightly in surprise.
This was when she finally noticed that she had been imperceptibly feeling beneath him.
She noticed that he was special and began to treat him as such.
He perceived this fact.
Rather than caring about his talent, he paid more attention to the change in her.
Honestly...
Mai felt helpless about the warm feeling that rose up in her heart.
'You... you make girls fall in love with you so easily, Junior."
A period of silence fell between the pair.
Seiji stood up and stretched. "I didn't expect that I would be resting on that sofa for so long," he said. "I'm feeling hungry. Although I'm a little embarrassed to ask, Senpai... when can I have some breakfast?"
Mai smiled gently as usual upon seeing the handsome boy scratch his face awkwardly.
"I've been taking care of a certain someone for the entire night, so I'm tired and want to rest instead of making breakfast."
"Ah..."
"But as long as that certain someone is willing to do one thing for me, I'll go cook breakfast."
"What is it?"
"Sign a marriage application form."
"...What?" Seiji was stunned.
Did he hear that correctly!?
Tee-hee.
"Just joking~" Mai said, chuckling.
When she saw how silly he looked, she felt a pleasant feeling in her heart.
"I just wanted to say that the only man who I'd possibly be willing to work an entire night for and still cook breakfast after is my husband." She turned around. "You're not my husband, so I won't cook breakfast for you—it's as simple as that."
"Oh..." Seiji answered dazedly.
"What's with that 'oh'? Shouldn't you be forcefully commenting at this situation?" Mai suddenly turned back around with a devilish grin on her face. "Your commenting skills are lacking, idiot junior!"
Seiji was rendered speechless at this.
Only after he dazedly watched her walk off and exit the room did he finally regain his senses and smile wryly.
He sighed helplessly to himself. 'That comeback was pretty good.'
He then proceeded to follow her back upstairs.
As Mai said, she wouldn't cook breakfast for Seiji.
But they still needed breakfast, so she asked Seiji to do the honors.
Seiji listened to her instructions and got to work in the kitchen... although he felt it seemed a little off.
Well, as a temporary guest, it was only natural that he should help out around here. Not to mention Mai took care of him for an entire night. He definitely should do something to pay her back.
Seiji's cooking abilities were rather average.
There was no way for him to cook at the level of Mai's professional maid skills, so he mainly just heated some leftover dishes from last night, and made a few simple breakfast dishes to go together with them.
