On The Way To School
The next morning, I was getting ready to meet Odeta in front of her dormitory like I had promised her to go to school together.
Katsuki was in the midst of combing my hair while I was humming contentedly.
"Mistress?"
"Hmm~ Hmm~ Ah? What is it, Katsuki?"
"If I may, could I ask who was the girl who was accompanying you yesterday?"
It took me a moment to realise who she was talking about.
"Do you mean Odeta? I met her a few years ago! She was part of a Mercenary party that was under attack from a wyvern so I jumped in and saved them. Things happened and I gave her a place to stay and she feels indebted to me I guess?"
"I see… I thought she might be intimidating Mistress somehow with her strength…"
I giggled, "Oh she might look like that but she's actually my age you know? That means she's younger than you, Katsuki! Don't worry, she's a cutie~ But you're still cuter though!"
"Eh? Ah… Umm… Thank you Mistress!"
