Chapter 27.1
Escort Maid Training
“…What are you doing?”
As I pushed the Cruz boy down and pointed the knife at his throat, I heard Sera’s voice unexpectedly from the side. …As usual, there were no footsteps or signs of movement. Still, I guessed from the loudness and direction of the voice that she was still a few meters away, so I kept my eyes on the boy with my knife at the ready without letting my guard down, and as if the boy were asking for help, he called Sera [Mother!!!].
“…”
He was Sera’s child… I’m glad I didn’t kill him accidentally. With the way I was now, if I were to antagonize Sera, certain “death” would await me.
As I gently moved away from the boy, releasing my blade to show that I would not antagonize Sera, Sera asked me, not her son.
“What happened?”
“He rolled up my skirt.”
“…I see.”
Sera looked at her son, whose face was still bright red, and scowled a little in disbelief, then looked at me straight in the face and lowered her head as she sighed lightly.
“Since he had done something this offensive towards you, as his mother, allow me to apologize.”
“No problem.”
