I stare intensely at the metallic door in front of me.
-What are you trying to do, master? (21)
I look at 21 with the face asking for help.
-How can I pass through this door, 21? (Farah)
-Eh, aren't you afraid that head will find out, master? She will punish you if she knows. (21)
-He, there is no way Hana can know about it. I looked around the room and didn't find a single camera inside. (Farah)
21 answers me while looking at the corner of the room.
-Heh~ (21)
I follow her line of sight to the corner of the room and find nothing in that place.
-What are you looking at, 21? (Farah)
21 instantly looked away when I asked her that.
-Nothing, master! (21)
I walk toward her place. I stand on the tip of my toe while glaring at 21.
-Your puppy glaring is indeed cute, like what the head maid told me. (21)
I raise both my hands and try to protest against 21. Since I woke up, I could feel both Hana and 21 continuously teasing me. 21 decides to change the topic by answering my previous question.
-Let me give it a try, master Farah. (21)
-Okay, then. (Farah)
21 goes to the front of the metallic door.
-First, we need to find a way to open the gate. (21)
-Uhm. (Farah)
-It seems we need to use voice to open this door. (21)
-Eh? (Farah)
21 places her hands on my shoulders and tells me.
-You must scream the secret password out loud to open that door. (21)
I turn to the metallic door and mutter.
Hmmm, is that so? (Farah)
In the meantime, I can hear that 21 talks to herself in a tiny voice.
-Why did the head maid make me tell an absurd lie like that? (21)
I call out to 21.
-21? (Farah)
-Yes, master? (21)
21 coughs.
-Ehem, master Farah must think of the password that head maid had set for this door. (21)
-Hmmm, I wonder how long the password is. (Farah)
-I think the password is three words long, master Farah.
-How can you be so sure about that, 21? (Farah)
For some reason, 21 coughs again while turning away.
-It's just my instinct, master. (21)
-... (Farah)
*Chi*
-You are so suspicious, 21. (Farah)
-What are you talking about, master Farah? (21)
-I feel like Hana instructed you from behind the scene! (Farah)
I say it as a joke, but 21 suddenly coughs like crazy. I wonder if it's the truth after all.
-I will leave it for now. (Farah)
-Right! You should focus on opening this door first, master. (21)
-Uhm. (Farah)
I turn back and look at the door.
-Hana is an idiot. (Farah)
-...Master, it's four words, not three. (21)
I form a mischievous smile and stick out my tongue.
-Moh, master. (21)
-Now, let me try other passwords. (Farah)
There is only one possible password I can think of in this situation.
-I... (Farah)
-What are you trying to say, master? (21)
-I love Hana! (Farah)
-Eh? There is no way our head maid will put a password like that, right? (21)
Unlike 21's expectation, the metallic door opened when I said that sentence.
My face becomes bright red since I don't expect the password to work.
-Moh, Hana. (Farah)
-... (21)
-All right, let's go inside. (Farah)
-I am right behind you, master. (21)
We walk inside the room and find there is another room behind the metallic door.
-And there is another door at the end of this room. (Farah)
The moment we step inside, many lasers lights come out from the wall beside us.
-Master, please be careful. (21)
Since there is a space between these lasers lights, 21 and I try to avoid them as much as we can.
-Ahhh! (Farah)
When I try to avoid those laser lights and lose my balance, 21 instantly reaches out to me and hug me.
-21! (Farah)
Because of that, 21 has touched the laser lights while holding. The alarm of the room suddenly rang out loud.
-It seems that we have triggered the security system, master. (21)
Many things that look like cannons come out from the wall surrounding us and aim at us.
-Master, this is going to be hurt. (21)
At this rate, 21 is going to be hurt because of me. I utilize my mana and create a shield surrounding us. I close my eyes while hugging 21 tightly.
-Uhmmm! (Farah)
I can hear something pierce through the shield I made and fly toward us. I try creating more mana shields to stop it, but the thing that flies toward us pierces those shields easily. It only takes a few seconds for those things to hit us.
-Urghh! (Farah)
I expect those projectiles that come from the cannons would hurt us.
-Soft? Eh? (Farah)
But I can feel the softness on my skin when they touch my body. I open my eyes and see there are many teddy bears around us.
-Teddy bears? (Farah)
-It seems that the head maid uses them as ammo since she knew the master would explore this room. (21)
-Ehhh~ (Farah)
I look at those teddy bears and notice they can move on their own. They make many cute gestures while waving their hand at me.
-They are so cute, aren't they? How about exploring the next room with them, master? (21)
I pull the helm of 21's maid uniform and tell her.
-Let's stop for today, 21. (Farah)
-Eh? It's still soon, master. We could explore this place a little longer. (21)
I shake my head and answer 21.
-I don't want to see you hurt because of my selfishness. So, let stop here. (Farah)
-Master... (21)
I smile at 21.
-Let's go back now. (Farah)
The adventure may be dangerous sometimes. However, today adventure result in success since I find so many teddy bears.
-You seem to like these teddy bears, master. (21)
-Ehehe. (Farah)
I pick one of them up and hold them in my arm.
-I don't know,21. But somehow, I feel really happy when I hug these teddy bears. (Farah)
Suddenly, an image flashes in my mind. It's a small girl handing over a teddy bear to a boy. As usual, I can't see the face of the girl and the boy.
-Maybe...just maybe, I used to receive them from someone important to me. (Farah)
