“Teacher Minae–”
I was in the middle of preparing dinner, but these four children burst into the kitchen .
“It’s dangerous here, children . Didn’t I tell you to tell your teacher before you came in?”
“Sorry…”
All of them were staring at the floor, looking remorseful . I hurriedly bottled up my anger and stopped what I was working on to face them .
“Is there anything you want from me?”
“Um, Miss Iris is here . ”
“What?”
Their answer scared me, to the point that I couldn’t help but shout . Seeing how unnatural I was
acting, the children started to look a bit confused .
“Le–no, Miss Iris is here? Are you sure?”
I needed to hurry and prepare tea…although that was what I wanted to do, we didn’t have any left and there wasn’t enough time to go and buy more . Plus, I had decided that we needed to be more frugal before the next donation came .
“all in all, we need to go out and welcome her…”
“Apologies for the disturbance!”
Yep, that was Tanya’s voice . There was nothing else I could do but walk toward the entrance .
Although I did not look presentable enough to meet her, it was even more impolite to keep her waiting .
“W-welcome…I…Lady Iris, Miss Tanya . ”
Although it was only a short way, because I had run over and because of how nervous I was, I felt that I could barely breathe .
The sight of Lady Iris filled me with a strange feeling . She seemed slimmer than I remembered, and her skin was even paler than pale, almost to the degree of translucence .
“Don’t be so nervous, Minae . I’m just a normal friend coming
friend coming to her friend’s house to have some fun . ”
Lady Iris’s stunning words disarmed me, and I spoke once again immediately .
“…friend?”
“Oh yes . Isn’t that what everyone else thinks as well?”
“Miss Iris, what are we going to play today?”
“Hey, hey, Miss Iris, I can read now!”
“Miss Iris said she was going to play with me!”
These kids…they were surrounding her with smiles on their face, speaking whatever came to their minds .
But this didn’t seem to bother her at all . In fact, her smile seemed quite genuinely happy .
“Haha…that’s true, we did make we did make a promise . Then let’s play a new game before we start reading!”
The children cheered, taking Lady Iris’s hand to prepare to play a game .
These kids…how could they talk to a lady like that? It seemed like it was too late for me to stop them .
Lady Iris was of noble blood, and was a substitute leader…I had kept these secrets from the children . Even if I asked them now to be less impolite to her, they probably wouldn’t obey if I couldn’t give them a reason for it .
