CH 112

(**Akihito’s POV**)

“Arisa-san…”

I looked at Arisa-san’s face as she stared back at me with a half glare.

Then Charlotte-san stepped in front of me for some reason.

“Charlotte-san…?”

“Um, please don’t say anything bad about Akihito-kun. He’s not the kind of person who would intentionally hurt other people.”

“Hee~…”

I was wondering what was going on because she suddenly stepped forward, but Charlotte-san was actually defending me.

I can’t hide my surprise at the fact that the kind girl I’ve used to know has slightly bared her fangs at a stranger.

Arisa-san, who had her fangs bared, was somehow impressed.

Then she looked at me.

“You should be thanking Ojou-sama and the others.”

“Huh?”

“No, it’s nothing. The ladies are waiting for you, please get in the car.”

What the heck were those words?

I wondered, but Arisa-san lost her intimidating atmosphere and started to guide us like a normal maid.

When I looked at Charlotte-san, she looked up at me as if she was confused.

If I, who knew Arisa-san well, couldn’t understand her, how could Charlotte-san?

“Let’s go.”

So I smiled back at Charlotte-san, trying not to worry her.

Then I asked Charlotte-san to get in first.

“…………”

As I looked at Charlotte-san getting into the limousine, I saw Arisa-san staring at me for some reason.

“What’s up?”

So I call out to her, and she stares at my face with a curt expression.

“Apparently, you’re looking better.”

That’s all what Arisa-san said, and she quickly sat down in the driver’s seat.

She didn’t wait for me to get in the car, as usual.

“Akihito-kun, is there something wrong…?”

“Ah, no… it’s nothing.”

Charlotte-san called out to me anxiously, and I answered with a smile.

We got into the limousine and the doors automatically closed and the car started to move.

“Oh… there are so many dogs looking at us…”

Charlotte-san was surprised to see all the unleashed dogs on the road looking at her.

“They’re smart dogs, they’ll be quiet if you don’t do anything to them.”

“Did Akihito-kun used to play here a lot?”

“No, I don’t think I’ve been here more than a few times.”

“I see…”

Charlotte-san didn’t ask any more questions.

Instead, she rests her head on my shoulder.

Since Arisa-san and I were far enough away that I would not be disturbed, I decided to let her do as she pleased.
