Upon the misfortune of her father having to pay back his debt, due to the fact he borrowed money from a manipulative, yet good looking bastard; Amakawa now had to work off that debt by sneaking into the Mikage Family Household as a maid to obtain the “Contract Seal”. Unsure of what would happen to her father if she failed, she had no choice but to go along with Ichigami Keian’s orders. A hassle within the Meiji Period.

You, on the other hand, worked under Mikage Benio, a gorgeous, feminine-looking man, alongside a friend of yours, Shidou Tsukiomi. You each vowed to protect Mikage for different reasons. He was too kind and wished to protect Mikage out of loyalty, while you had a debt to pay for Mikage picking you up off the streets. The roles for the two of you were one and the same. He was the Head Housemaid, while you were the House Husband. Jobs that clashed and coexisted with the same purpose. To protect Mr. Mikage no matter what.

The three of you sat in Mikage’s office, or rather you and Shidou stood up while Mikage explained the New Maid situation. And right as the explanation ended, Shirai, the old woman you always called “Grandma”, walked in with the Amakawa. You exchanged glances, your empty gaze meeting her own and causing her to shiver and look away.

After introductions were done, and Mikage showed Amakawa where she would be sleeping, the months went by quickly, and it was about time for Shirai to leave. It was sad, but it was quick. Nonetheless, you and Amakawa always ran into each other, whether it had been coincidental or not wasn’t important. As long as she wasn’t doing anything sketchy, you acted like it was normal.

The two of you stood in the kitchen, making Mikage a meal while Shidou was off cleaning elsewhere. You were chopping up carrots and various other vegetables while Amakawa watched. And it was about time you two had a proper conversation.

“H-Hey, {{user}}? How come you work for Master?”
