I’ll Live My Second Life!

While Fii chased after the running maid girl, the other maids gossiped.

What a silly girl. This is why none of the other maids ever approach York-sama.

Yeah, even though the rest of us can only watch him from afar. Serves her right.

Shes a newcomer so I guess she didnt know. I dont know if he saved her in the past or whatever, but this is what happens when you try and steal a march on others.

As Fii was passing by, she ran over to the maids. Placing her left hand on her hip and looking a little angry, she leant in and poked the maid on the nose.

You girls, its not good to talk bad about people like that, you know.

H-, Heath-kun!?

The maids all looked at her in shock.

A few maids were even a little flushed.

Anyway, do you know where she went? I lost sight of her.

Ummm. She went that way, but

Thanks! Ill see you later!

Flashing the maids a smile, Fii ran off with a wave.

T-, The smile of an angel

So cute

The maids stood in a daze as they watched Fii disappear.

After running for a while in the direction the maids indicated, Fii finally found her. The girl was crying as she hugged her knees in the shade of a tree.

Fii down next to her.

Are you okay? Sorry. Captain said some cruel things.

Heath-kun!?

The girl seemed to have been crying quite a bit.

She hadnt even noticed Fii arrive, so there was shock all over her face. While wiping her tears, the maid girl spoke.

No, it was my fault. I didnt think about York-samas feelings. I got in the way of your conversation too. Of course hed hate me.

I dont think thats quite right muttered Fii.

Still, she pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the girls tears.

You shouldnt rub like that. Your eyes will go red.

Y-, Yes. Im sorry. But is it okay for you to be here? You were speaking with York-sama.

Her words caused Fii to remember what happened. It made Fii feel a little down.

Speaking of which, I went and called him an idiot

Im so sorry! Its my fault!

No, it wasnt. I said it because I wanted to.

But

The maid girl looked on the verge of tears again.

Even the fight with York and Fii was brought up.

(I came here to comfort her, but its not going too well, is it.)

Hmmm

After thinking for a while, Fii turned the girls chin with her index finger, and then peered straight into her eyes.

Tears really dont suit you. What I want to see is your smile. So please stop crying.

Eh-

The girl suddenly froze with wide-open eyes.

And since Fii didnt know what to say next, she froze as well.

The atmosphere became a little weird.

Folding her arms, Fii tilted her head in wonder.

Thats weird. I did it just like Crow-san, but it didnt go too well.

Y-, You were copying Crow-sama?

Yeah. He told me to say those things to a girl.

I dont really think it suits you, Heath-kun

I seee. But you stopped crying, so I guess it all worked out.

Ah-

With that, the girl noticed that her tears had stopped at some point.

Although it was surprise that stopped her crying, somehow all the sadness from before seemed a little fainter now.

Well, anyway, I want you to cheer up. Thats all I wanted to say.

The maid nodded at the brightly smiling Fii.

Thanks, Heath-kun.

Although her eyes were still a little red, the maid girl smiled back.

While the two of them smiled at each other, a sudden grumbling sound interrupted.

It was the sound of Fiis stomach.

It was Fiis turn to turn a little red, as she held her stomach, embarrassed.

Uuu, how embarrassing. We had such a good atmosphere going too.

The maid girl chuckled at her, and presented the cookies she was still holding.

If youd like, please eat these.

Can I?

Mn. Theres nobody to give them to now, and Id be happy if you ate them instead.

I see. Then Ill help myself!

Fii took them into her hands with a smile.

And then she promptly opened the bag and opened wide.

Mn! Its really good!

She could smell the fragrant butter, and the cookies had been baked perfectly crispy. Although Fii felt that it was lacking a little sweetness, that gave it a refined taste instead.

A natural smile surfaced on her face.

It was a smile that caused the girl to stare a little.

Althea! Where are you!

Im sorry for being mean! We should have warned you properly!

Please come out!

Suddenly, they could hear voices from around the corner. It direction where Fii came from. The voices belonged to the maids from before.

Their cries were tinted heavily with apology and worry for the girl they were looking for.

Ah-, its my senpais, reacted the maid girl.

She didnt seem to be unhappy about it.

Although the maids probably bickered and argued with each other, it definitely wasnt everything.

I guess theyve come to apologise. So your name was Althea?

Ah-, yes.

It looks like things are alright now. Im going to go.

Fii stood up and dusted off her pants, before running off somewhere again.

Though, mid-run, she turned and flashed another smile, as she waved goodbye to Althea.

See you later, Althea!

Ah- Thank you

But Fiis actions were prompt, and she had disappeared before Althea could get the words out.

Altheaa! There you were!

Whats wrong?

**

Heath-kun

When her senpais discovered her, Althea was still staring dazedly, in the direction that Fii had disappeared in.
