Prologue

“Mirei san”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

I was originally from a poor family.

“Hey! Go make some money!”

“I’m sorry.”

“Tch. Don’t go to high school, get a job after graduation!”

“Eh…”

My mother went to heaven before I was in junior high school.

My father is, in a word, a scumbag.

He never worked and spent most of his time playing pachinko and drinking every day.

So from junior high school I worked part-time delivering newspapers and somehow managed to make enough money to live on.

My teacher gave me a special scholarship to go to high school through the prefectural government, but…

I thought I would continue to be used by my father.

One day, as I was walking to school, thinking that the high school entrance exam was near, I saw an uncle walking dazedly.

“Watch out”

An uncle almost collides with a bicyclist at a turn.

The bicyclist seemed to be in a great hurry.

I pushed him away and struck the bicycle instead.

“Hey! Are you okay!”

Unlike the dizzy man I saw earlier, a crisp uncle approached me.

Thank God… he didn’t hit me…

My consciousness was fading away, probably due to my recent fatigue.

I noticed an unfamiliar ceiling and an expensive-looking urn near the bed.

“What? Not a hospital?”

When you don’t know where you are

“I think you’re awake.”

“You’re…”

“I’m the guy you saved.”

“Oh, thank God~”

I’m so glad to hear that you are all right.

“It’s been two days.”

“Two days?”

Not good! Father will be angry with me.

“I’m sorry! I have to go home! I’ll bring the money for the treatment tomorrow!”

I have a portion of your mother’s inheritance, so I’ll just have to make do with that… and I didn’t really want to spend it, but…

“That’s okay, I can pay for the treatment. And you don’t have to go back to that house.”

“What?”

“I’ve done some research. I was up all night and couldn’t move well, but I was concerned about you. At that age, you should want to do a lot of things, but you seemed to have given up on this life.”

“I guess so…”

I certainly had never thought of the future in that way.

“But you helped me. I’m a stranger. I could have died myself.”

“That’s…!”

I don’t remember what I said from there. I just cried and talked as if I was trying to get everything out.

All the while that person nodded and listened.

“Thank you for talking to me. And I hope you have a bright future ahead of you.”

“There is no such thing as a bright future!”

“There is. I will create it. I will make it, betting on the name of the Wakata Zaibatsu.”

“Wakata Zaibatsu…?”

One of Japan’s leading zaibatsu that even I can understand. And among them, the top one is…

“I am Takuya Wakata. I am the president of the Wakata Zaibatsu Group.”

“Eh!”

“So, you see? Let me help you with your life?”

I still had tears in my eyes that I thought had dried up.

I felt as if I had met a benefactor for the first time in my life.

From there it was quick. My father also offered me his son as soon as he asked him to give him his son instead of giving him money. Maybe he is still a bum.

There was no way I could take high school now. Or so I thought.

“Then go to Wakata High School.”

“Wakata High School?!”

He gave the name of a high school attended by the rich in Japan.

“Of course I will pay for everything And since you are our family from now on, we will of course guarantee you food, clothing, and shelter.”

“What?! I’ll get a part-time job myself…”

“No, you can’t. I’ll give you an allowance of 300,000 a month.”

“Eh—–!”

It is about the monthly income of a working person.

“Please let me do something in return. Otherwise …”

I feel crushed by guilt.

“In that case, I’ll ask you to be the house girl’s butler and boyfriend.”

“Yes?”

“Introduce yourself.”

She came in with silver hair and was about my height or a little taller.

She was about the same height or a little taller than me.

“Wakata Mirei”

“Umm I’m Sato Masaya “

This is where my life as a spring break butler apprentice began.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mirei san”

Mirei san is a cool person.

We talk about work-related matters and not so much about personal conversations.

We are supposed to be in a relationship.

At that time

“Dating someone like me is…”

I tried to turn it down softly.

“This is for Mirei’s sake, too.”

“Are you okay with this, Mirei san? about going out with someone like this?”

I thought that she would tell me herself

“No, nothing”

I was told to go out with her, and I ended up going out with her.

“School starts next week, are you ready?”

“Yes, I have studied everything I need to know for the first year of high school. “

“I don’t mean that…”

She said something to me in a whisper, but I couldn’t catch it.

“Umm I couldn’t catch what you said.”

“No, nothing. Good luck.”

I think this might be the first time I’ve ever gotten a compliment.

I don’t think I did enough to deserve the praise…

Studying is

“You are going to be Mirei’s butler in high school, so I hope you can be a little more worthy of Mirei’s side.”

President Takuya told me, so I studied a little.

By the way, I call him “President Takuya” because he asked me to do so.

High School Entrance Ceremony.

“Now then, our chairman, Wakata Takuya san, has something to say.”

“Hello everyone…”

He started talking about what spring is all about.

I was sorry to President Takuya, but I was not listening here.

But something happened that I couldn’t miss.

“In fact, there is someone close to my child who is Mirei’s butler, and he entered this high school this year, so I am here to address him on behalf of the school.”

Eh?

“Then, as the student representative, Masaya Sato san, please speak”

I didn’t hear anything about this?

These are the ones with the best grades or something…

President Takuya beckons me over.

I have no choice but to go.

“Just read what it says here.”

So he told me

I don’t remember what I said from that point on because I was so nervous, but I think I said it correctly.

“Masa I’m sorry !”

“It’s totally fine”

“I was actually going to have the person with the best grades, but he had a fever, so I thought…”

Masa is what President Takuya called me because Mirei always called me Masa

Mirei san, maybe you should get some rest.”

Mirei san, who had been in meetings during the entrance ceremony, was still working at 10:00 p.m., even though she should have been tired.

“I’ve got classes and extracurricular activities starting tomorrow, and I need to finish my weekend presentations.”

“Still, you should probably get some sleep…”

“Shut up! Then do it for me!”

“I understand”

“Eh, ah….I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

“I understand. I know, but please take a good rest today. I can do the rest.”

Mirei san also has a number of companies, so there may be times when she wants to take it out on someone.

That is also the role of a butler, in my opinion.

“Are you sure it’s okay…?”

“Yes !”

“Then please?”

“I’ll take care of it!”

“If you can’t do it, you can always cut off, okay?”

“I won’t do it halfway.”

“I see”

All right! Let’s go for it!

Don’t tell me I’ve gone a little over the sun.

next day

“Mirei san, here are the presentation materials. The data is saved on your computer as well.”

“Did you really do it?”

“Because I am Mirei san’s butler!”

“then I’ll take a look.”

“Oh, by the way, I made the rest of yesterday’s presentation and two newly revised ones.”

I read in a book I was reading during spring break that there should be more than one proposal.

“Two? I’ll take a look.”

The revised proposal is just a little bit more creative, so it doesn’t change much. It might be a little difficult to use mine.

“It’s amazing! You’re so creative!”

“Oh, by the way, Masa is supposed to join the tennis club.”

“What?!”

It seems to be the custom at this high school to decide in advance which club activities you like to join.”

“You don’t want to be in it with me?”

“No, not at all!”

Inwardly, I’m insanely happy.

But I guess I am a convenient butler for Mirei san.

Even so, I owe him a debt of gratitude for picking me up.

“Well then, please introduce yourself one by one.”

“I’m Sato Masaya “

When I said this, people around me started to buzz.

“He’s the representative?”

“That means he’s Mirei-senpai’s butler! “

Even the young lady who was quiet earlier started to make a fuss.

I don’t want to draw too much attention though~

And then the club activities started.

“Are you Mirei san’s butler?”

“Yes! My name is Sato Masaya !”

“Well I don’t know. Mirei is like my girlfriend anyway. I won’t forgive you if you do anything unnecessary.”

Eh…she has a boyfriend, Mirei san?

“Kyaaa! Mirei san is so cool!”

On the women’s side of the court, Mirei san is dominating her opponent.

“Good job, Mirei.”

“Good job, Umi.”

“Wanna go to karaoke after this?”

“I’m not going.”

“I see.”

I see. President Takuya didn’t know who Mirei san liked, so he tried to make me her boyfriend.

There was no way I could be the first…

“Heyy, that’s it for today for the first year.”

“”Thank you very much!””

I was actually going to wait for Mirei san.

I’ll go home alone today. I don’t want to disturb her.

After walking for a while, drops of water fall on the ground.

The street lamps appear blurred.

“What? Why am I crying?”

I never cried much even when my father beat me.

Maybe I was selfish.

I was picked up by the president of a zaibatsu group, who guaranteed me a future, and I got to work with the beautiful, cool, and lovely Mirei san. And I had a hope that she liked me even a little bit more.

“I’m such an idiot~”

From there, I tried not to bother that boyfriend anyway for about a month.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning, today let’s…”

“I’m studying ahead.”

“Okay. Have a good day.”

“Do you know? Mirei-senpai, I heard she’s dating Umi senpai, who’s in the same tennis club as you.”

My friend, who I study with early in the morning these days, tells me.

“I know.”

“Oh, as expected of a butler. and are you okay, about Mirei senpai?”

“If Mirei san is happy, I guess it’s fine.”

“You’re kind of amazing.”

“But more importantly, we have a test coming up, so let’s do our best.”

“I agree!”

As if to escape, I studied.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Mirei, what’s wrong?”

“Hnn?. No.”

“Ah Are you trying to find Masaya from the other side of the school?”

“I-I’m not!”

“You’re not supposed to be talking in there!”

“Excuse me.”

I never used to get angry like this before. Maybe it’s all Masa’s fault that I became like this.

I fell in love with him from the first time I met him.

To be honest, I didn’t understand why he was so hospitable just because my father helped him, but I heard that he had a complicated family situation and he wanted him to move in with us.

Even though he was younger than me, I still didn’t want to live with someone who I didn’t know what he was going to do.

I thought he was like those monkeys at school.

But I was wrong.

He was a little shorter and prettier than me.

I lost my mother when I was very young, so I didn’t know what it was, but I thought it was probably motherhood.

I could fully understand why my father wanted to protect him.

I also fell in love with the fact that he was so kind.

Then I told my father and he made him my butler and boyfriend.

I was much happier than if I had received jewelry from someone who was said to be handsome.

That’s why I thought he liked me, even though he didn’t say much at first.

And he was a hell of a hard worker, studying the content of his first year of high school.

When I was tired and hit him hard, I thought he absolutely hated me.

But Masa never complained, and he made the documents and revised them.

I thought that since he worked so hard for me, I would be fine in the future.

By the way, when I succeed my father, I plan to only make Masa my butler and pamper him a lot.

However, Masa’s behavior has changed since entering high school.

Even last time.

“Here’s a summary from the data I compiled on the advantages and disadvantages of the upcoming cosmetics.”

“Thank you. If you don’t mind, I’d be happy to make you some tea.”

“I’m sorry, I have a test next week and I need to study. Excuse me.”

“I see. Good luck.”

I feel like I’m being distanced.

I asked a detective agency to find out why, but they couldn’t tell me. I have my bodyguards watching him regularly, but I can’t get any information from them.

I thought he might be in love with someone else, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone else.

“That’s all for today. Make sure you review.”

“Mirei.”

Here comes the creepy monkey.

“What is it?”

“Now we’re going to study together, okay?”

“What? Why would I do that?

“You’re too cold, Mirei san… play with Umi san a little.”

“And if you don’t act like a couple, Umi won’t like you.”

“I’m not going to do that. I like Mirei.”

The bitches are screaming in the back.

The sows are screaming in the back.

This is why I don’t like the sparkly ones.

Even in class these days.

“Are you dating umi?”

I’m in a relationship with Masa, so I’m not.

I’m dating Masa. I don’t want him to misunderstand me.

But I can’t do it because it’s been like this since the first grade and if I make a big show of it, it might be mistaken for cheating.

I want to make out with Masa.

Maybe I’m a bit cold from his point of view.

Then the test is over and today is the day the rankings are posted.

“Wow! That’s a perfect score, Mirei!”

“It’s true.”

“Mirei san, you always come in first!”

It’s not about me.

It’s more about…

“There it is.”

I Look at the first-year rankings.

There is

1st: 1000 points Sato Masaya

“Amazing”

Masa got a perfect score…

When I think about it, he studied all the time.

He really is a hard worker.

Today I am going to give him exactly what he deserves.

I’m going to say it at club activities.

“Masa!”

“Ah, Mirei san”

“Is it okay now?”

“I think so….”

“Hey, freshman. The teacher wants to see you.”

“I understand”

That monkey is so annoying that I’m thinking of leaving him on Amazon.

“Umi”

“Yeah?”

“I just think of Umi as a monkey. Don’t tell me we’re dating or anything.”

“Eh….”

“Stop talking to me, you’re making me feel uncomfortable.”

The tone of voice did not seem to have emanated from the president’s daughter.

I said that and went back to my practice.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After the test, practice is over.

“Hey.”

“What is it?”

“Did you cry to Mirei?”

“Eh?”

“She told me not to talk to her again today, but that was your fault, wasn’t it?”

“Eh, it’s not.”

I didn’t know what was going on.

“I was not sure what was going on. She said she didn’t like you before.

“Ehh…”

Mirei san…that may be true.

I have not been able to work lately, probably from studying.

“We’re just a couple fighting and it’ll all be fixed up again soon, but you, I feel sorry for you…”

“I see…”

Worst case scenario, she might dump me for some reason.

I’ll work again then.

It might be better if I offered to do it anyway.

That would probably help Mirei san, too.

“Haha, I see…”

On the way home, I cry again.

“I’m such a crybaby…”

Let’s go to the park for a bit to wash my eyes. At least I’ll end up with a good impression.

“Ah, Swing”

My mother used to push me from behind.

I sat on the swing for the first time in years.

“I don’t want to stop…”

I was happy in my current life. But happiness doesn’t last forever. I know this by looking back on my life up to now.

“Huh, masa”

“Mirei san…”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m taking a break.”

“I’ll take a break, too.”

“I’ll get you a drink.”

“It’s okay. You stay here.”

“I understand”

Silence follows.

“First place in the test wasn’t it?”

“Mirei san, you are also amazing.”

We haven’t talked much for a while.

I don’t know how to talk.

I guess I should say it here now.

I think Mirei san would like to break up with such a guy as soon as possible.

“Mirei san”

“What?”

“Should we break up?”

“Eh?”

She seemed to have stopped thinking for a while.

“Eh! Wait, wait a minute! What do you mean”

Mirei san’s behavior is strange. It is different from the reaction I expected.

If it were normal.

“I see”

I thought she would say as usual.

But no.

“I’m quitting high school and going to work.”

“Why?”

“Eh, Because, Mirei san, I’m with you”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because your boyfriend said you don’t like me…”

“I never said that! I never said that! I mean, he’s not my boyfriend! He’s a monkey and he’s just saying that and making a fuss. You’re my boyfriend, aren’t you?”

“Are you okay with me?”

“I’m fine with you. I love the way you try your best to help me with my work, the way you are kind to me, everything. I love you. I want to make out with you. I want to have s*x with you every day.”

“Hey, calm down! I-I understand”

Cool Mirei san’s character is disintegrating.

I am surprised because she has never said a word about such things before.

“You don’t even have to be a butler if you want. I’ll take care of you. All you have to do is to be next to me.”

“That’s no good. You’ll get tired, Mirei san.”

“You are too kind to me like that. You are too kind.”

“It’s natural to be kind to someone you love.”

“I’m sorry. I may not be able to tell you how much I like you from now on, but will you keep liking me?”

“I love you too, cool Mirei san, so I don’t have a problem with that!”

“Shall we hold hands?”

Maybe Mirei san is rather manly

Then we headed home.
