4 - Noble Son, Tell

As expected, things had gotten quite bad.

Sakurako crawled out of her Miraive Gear Cocoon and gazed off into the distance, a recreation of Kirschwasser’s gaze in the game. There was a dignity about her not usually seen in ladies in their late twenties. Sakurako Ogi had been through a few bloody battles in the first half of her life. Not as many as her master, but she had certainly had her ups and downs.

“Mmm!” Sakurako stretched her arms out wide to get her blood flowing, then left the game room. First things first: she needed lunch. With Ichiro gone, she didn’t need to make anything too fancy, but one of the cup ramens from the stock in her room wouldn’t be filling enough to serve as battle rations.

“Maybe I’ll make udon...” She could take advantage of Ichiro’s absence to make curry, but that would take a long time, and there would be a lot to clean up. She needed time to charge up her soul, so it would be best to make something quick. Tempura would be nice, but the effort of frying things...

Thinking it over, she entered the kitchen.

Nem’s statements had made the situation clear enough. Ichiro had clearly treated her badly, but at the same time, her own devotion to him was excessive. For better or worse, she was a rich heiress.

If she was Megumi Fuyo, as Ichiro had said, then she should be about the same age as Sakurako. However, she also seemed to be a rather sheltered girl. She probably didn’t know how to vent pent-up feelings of resentment. This likely would never have happened, had Ichiro treated her with more care... but that was one thing that was impossible to hope for.

But that was just fine; cleaning up after her master was a maid’s duty. Being the self-declared “perfect life form,” Ichiro didn’t leave her many opportunities to clean up after him, which made this a valuable chance. As a loyal retainer, she could finally achieve one more of her longstanding desires.

“La la la, lalala, la la la...” Humming the theme song of her favorite robot anime, she came and went from the big kitchen. Just then, the landline phone suddenly rang, and Sakurako was forced to stop both her preparations and her humming. She flew out of the kitchen — liveliness she wouldn’t usually show when her master was around — and grabbed the phone.

She picked up the phone, steadied her voice to its usual tone, and answered. “Yes? Hello?”

“Oh, um... S-Sakurako?”

Sakurako narrowed her eyes at the unexpected voice. “Oh, Asuha. You call us so rarely... This is Sakurako, yes.” She could count the number of times she’d spoken to Ichiro’s cousin on one hand, but she still remembered her very well. “What’s wrong? You need to make sure you eat lunch, okay? We only have an hour, after all.”

“Y-Yeah... I guess you really are Mr. Kirsch, huh?” Asuha asked.

“Hah hah hah! How are you doing, by the way?” Sakurako
