Who Said A Hikikomori Can't be Classy? [Cellphone Novel]

ღGift (Part 3)ღ

I watched tentatively
as Kaito and Gilbert started to pull out the long-forgotten kitchenware.

"Ah, I see you've bought some fruits."

Gilbert commented.

"Yeah.
I thought she could use the vitamins."

"How thoughtful."

Gilbert gave a nod of approval
and looked my way.

"Milady,
would you like some apples?"

"...no thanks."

Gilbert is being unusually friendly with our...guest.

Or is it just my imagination?

"Sir, those are...?"

"Bread from a famous bakery around here.
Waiting in line was hard,
but you said she liked sandwiches, so..."

My ears perked up
at the mention of the word 'sandwich.'

"What kind?"

"Hmm,
what kind would you like?"

Like a typical simpleton,
Kaito was grinning from ear to ear.

"Something with cucumbers."

"Pfft."

"What?"

"Nothing...Your wish is my command,
Ms. Kappa*~"

How irritating...

Kaito, however, was proudly humming to himself
while slicing the bread.

Well, whatever.

"I'll prepare some tea."

My butler declared.

He motioned as if he was about to leave...
but then stopped
just as abruptly as he had started.

"Enjoy yourselves."

"..."

Gilbert looked very happy.
