Chapter 277: Mathematics is important knowledge
"What?" Nanami was dumbfounded.
Shishio didn't feel surprised by Nanami's reaction and said, "I want to hire you as my maid."
"What?"
"Maid." Shishio was calm and explained Nanami plainly. "Maid is a helper that helps the needs of her master."
"I know that!" Nanami's emotion was so complex at that moment. She thought of several plots on her mind where there would be a lot of tears, drama, then a happy ending, but she had never expected this plot!
"I want to ask why you want to hire me as your maid?!" Nanami couldn't control her emotions and even raised her voice right now. Right now, of course, she was quite disappointed since what had happened was different from what she had imagined, but she wanted to know why Shishio asked him to become his maid.
"I'll give you this much each month," Shishio told Nanami directly about her salary and how much she would get.
"....." Nanami was dumbfounded.
"Should I give you your salary now?" Shishio asked.
If before Nanami was doubtful by Shishio's intention to make her become his maid, right now, she understood what his intention was.
'He wants to help me!'
Shishio knew that she was troubled by money, but it was impossible for her to receive money for him without any reason. But what if she worked under him?
'But a maid..?'
'Why a maid?'
Nanami turned rosy in an instant, and she thought of various things on her head, thinking that Shishio might have a maid fetish, and at the same time, she thought about various orders that he might have asked her when she worked under him. "Pervert!"
"....."
'Why?' Shishio was speechless.
"But why a maid?" Nanami asked with a blush on her face since Shishio hadn't answered her question before.
"Besides being a maid, what can you do?" Shishio asked bluntly.
"Ugh..." Nanami felt an arrow pierced into her chest, and she didn't have any words to refute. She was just a student, and her skill was limited. Besides a household chore, was there something that she could do?
"I'm not doing this because I pity you or something, but I really need someone to help me," Shishio said with a sigh.
Looking at how troubled Shishio's face was, Nanami thought that Shishio was really in trouble, so she couldn't help but ask, "Trouble?"
"You know that I'm from Kyoto, right? I'm not used to household chores, or rather I might not have time to do it, so I want someone to help me," Shishio said with a sigh, lying without changing his face.
Shishio had a "Household Mastery," and it was so easy for him to take care of the household matter from cleaning, washing, cooking, and more. Still, if he had to say whether he wanted to do it or not, then without a doubt, he would say that he didn't want to do it.
Shishio wanted to help Nanami, but this girl was quite troublesome, and she was so stubborn. He felt that a gentle method was good, but it was too long, and he was quite impatient to see the result, so he was going to do it on his way, or else this girl might pass out during her work sooner or later in the future because she forced herself to work hard.
Nanami's problem was something that could be solved by money, and it was simply child-play for him to solve Nanami's problem.
Nanami was a hard-working girl, and she was very diligent.
Shishio knew Nanami's personality, and that was also the reason why he could trust her.
After a moment, Nanami asked, "Why me?"
"You don't want to?" Shishio asked.
"No, no, I don't mind..." Nanami felt that she didn't really mind working as Shishio's maid, but she just couldn't help but think of a perverted order that he might ask. Of course, she knew that she should hate or reject him if he really asked such a perverted request, but strangely enough, she might anticipate it.
Also, frankly, Nanami also felt that the salary given by Shishio was good, and by getting that salary, she didn't need to do her part-time job anymore.
When Nanami saw Shishio's expression, her maternal instinct also awoken, and she felt that he wanted to take care of him too, which made her not really hate the idea of becoming his maid.
"Then what's the problem?" Shishio looked at Nanami and asked, "Let me ask you again, Nanami. Let me hire you as my maid."
Nanami had to admit that Shishio might be the most handsome guy she had ever seen in her life, especially when he looked at her straight. She took a deep breath and said, "Let me think about it."
"No." Shishio didn't want to wait and said, "I won't wait. Give me an answer now. Whether you want to do it or not since if you don't want to, then I won't mention it to you again." He might be forceful, but this girl might not make her decision right away if he didn't do this.
Nanami was stubborn, but at the same time, she was also indecisive. However, as long as she was pushed to the corner, she would give a quick answer.
Nanami didn't expect Shishio's answer, and somehow it reminded her of the time when she talked with her father about her dream before. However, the situation was different now, but the question that she asked was similar. "Why?" When she asked her father why he didn't allow her to chase after her dream, even though she knew that he did this for her future, she didn't want to follow it and chased after her dream.
However, Shishio wasn't Nanami's father, so he could say, "Because I want you to stay by my side."
"............"
Nanami was stunned for a moment before a blush gradually covered her face and neck. "Huuuhhh!!!"
"Can you?"
Her heart was beating fast, she was happy, but at the same time, she knew that Shishio had a girlfriend. "What about Sunohara-san?" If Shishio was single, then she could agree happily right here and now, but it was different when
"Is there a rule that someone has to have one girlfriend?" Shishio asked.
"..........."
Nanami was too dumbfounded.
However, Shishio told the truth. It might be impossible for him to marry more than one girl, but he was free of many girls since it wasn't a crime.
According to the plot, Nanami should slap Shishio since he was a scumbag, but she just chuckled and said, "Shishio-kun, tell me the truth, why you want to help me."
"It's the truth," Shishio said softly.
Nanami's heart was beating so fast, but she knew that this guy wasn't serious, so she kept staring at him and didn't say anything.
"...Can I just say that I just want to help you?" Shishio asked.
Nanami wanted to say something, but she was cut by Shishio. "Before you ask "why," why do you need to ask that question? Can you just become my maid? And I just want to see you in a maid uniform!"
"Pervert!"
Nanami retorted with a red face. She took a deep breath and sighed. "I just didn't expect that the most handsome guy at school would be a pervert." She thought that Shishio would be a serious and gentle guy, but she didn't expect that he was a pervert. However, she had to admit that this side of him was quite interesting, and she didn't really mind wearing a maid uniform.
"Oh? Do you feel disillusioned?" Shishio asked with a smile.
"Not really, but..."
"But?"
"If I live on the Sakurasou, you won't be able to see me wearing a maid uniform, right?" Nanami smiled and asked, "Is that alright?" Her tone was full of teasing, watching him curiously.
"........."
Sakurasou was a dorm, and many people lived in that place, including his aunt, Chihiro.
If Shishio asked Nanami to wear a maid uniform in that place, there would be a lot of trouble. He rubbed his chin and started to think about this matter seriously. Money wasn't a problem for him, and he could take it out anytime. Even if he spent it for Nanami for free, he didn't really mind it since he had received a "Music Mastery" from her.
The worth of this ability was simply negligible compared to the money that Shishio would give to Nanami.
Still, hearing her tone, which was full of tease, Shishio could tell that Nanami didn't mind wearing a maid uniform for him. "Oh? So you don't really mind wearing the maid uniform for me?"
Nanami felt that her face was scorching since she was so shy at that moment.
'Just...'
"Just why are you helping me so much, Shishio-kun? You know... I'm not that beautiful..." Compared to Nana, who was so stylish, Nanami felt quite inferior, and she had to admit that Nana was more beautiful than her, which made her wonder what made Shishio attracted to her. 'Even if I wear a maid uniform, is it good?' But then, her chin was lifted, which made her surprised, and she saw him right in front of her!
Nanami couldn't look away from Shishio and felt that her heart was thumping so fast right now.
'Am I going to be kissed?'
Nanami closed her eyes, waiting for Shishio to kiss her, but she wasn't kissed, and she only heard his voice.
"Really? I think that you're cute."
Shishio had to admit that compared to Nana, Shiina, and any other girls he knew, Nanami was quite plain, or rather, Nanami was quite similar to Miu. However, Nanami had a bigger bust compared to Miu since her D cup wasn't for nothing since he had felt how soft it was before. Still, no matter what, she was still one of the heroines in the story, so her face was more beautiful than a normal high school girl.
"Do - Don't tease me...!" Nanami couldn't look straight at Shishio, lowering her head shyly.
Shishio sighed and said, "You know, you're so stubborn. Can you just let me help you?" He couldn't help but rub her head, thinking why this girl was so stubborn.
Nanami didn't say anything and also wondered why she was so stubborn. She could just accept Shishio's help and became his maid, getting a lot of salary by working under him, but she just couldn't give him a nod. If Shishio was just pitying him, she would reject him without hesitation, but she knew he didn't feel that way.
Feeling the pat on her head, Nanami didn't say anything and looked at Shishio, who was so close right beside her, and somehow she could only sigh, feeling envious of Nana. She looked at him again and asked, "Shishio-kun, you want to hire me to become your maid, right?"
"Yes."
"So, what will I do if I become your maid?" Nanami asked curiously, wondering what she had to do.
"Well..." Shishio thought for a moment and said. "Cooking."
Nanami nodded. "Then?"
"Cleaning."
"Um... then?"
"Washing."
"Okay."
"Including my underwear, is that okay?"
"........" Nanami blushed, but then she nodded. "... Okay - Okay."
"You don't need to force yourself, you know," Shishio said and thought that this girl was really working hard.
"No, no, it's alright. I can wash your underwear!" Nanami said without hesitation and asked, "Then what should I do next?"
"Do you want to do more than that?" Shishio asked.
"As long as I can do it, I'll help!" Nanami said without hesitation.
"Then... If I ask you to help me with that need, is that alright with you?" Shishio asked curiously.
"Tha - That needs!" Nanami's face was burning once again. "Wha - What kind of needs?"
"Well, the thing on your imagination," Shishio said subtly.
"Pervert!"
"Huh? What did you imagine?" Shishio asked curiously.
"You - You're teasing me again!" Nanami pouted.
Shishio smiled happily and asked, "Do you agree?"
"........"
Nanami looked at this smile and felt that this smile was too cheating, right?
"Um." Nanami nodded and bowed her head slightly, which caused her ponytail to move slightly. "Please take care of me from now on, Shishio-kun."
"Then please take care of me too, Nanami." Shishio then looked at Nanami, used his "Mathematics Mastery" to calculate her body's size, and thought to make her maid uniform later. He had asked Roberta to get him a sewing machine, and all he needed to do next was to buy fabric.
"What are you thinking about, Shishio-kun?" Nanami asked suspiciously.
"I was just thinking about the mathematical formula," Shishio said with a serious expression. He wasn't lying, and he was telling the truth, but even so, why did Nanami look at him with a doubtful expression?
It seemed that Shishio needed to educate her on how to act in front of her master in the future.
