Chapter 554

Sella looked at him and said in an icy tone, "Mr. Amamiya, although I don't know why you're trying to curry favor with me, I have absolutely no desire to get along with you."

Shirou:"..."

"Excuse me for being rude."

Sella quickly began packing up the kitchen utensils and jars of seasonings, preparing to leave the kitchen.

At that moment, Shirou suddenly spoke up.

"I am actually very grateful to Miss Sella."

"What?"

Thank me?

The android maid was somewhat confused and looked at the boy with a puzzled expression.

Shirou said, "Miss Sella, are you tidying up the garden?"

Some flowers have sprouted over by the warehouse; you planted them, didn't you?

The courtyard of the Amamiya Residence is just an open space.

For ease of maintenance, Shirou didn't plant anything.

But ever since Sella arrived, she has helped tidy the yard even when Irisviel doesn't ask her to.

They not only swept up fallen leaves, but also planted some flowers and plants near the warehouse.

"That's... just my personal preference."

"Yes, I asked Miss Liz and heard about it from her."

Shirou said with a smile, "Sella really likes things in nature."

While in Germany, I secretly tried planting flowers and plants in my garden.

"That child, he even told you something like this..."

"So just let me know if you need any help."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to plant anything in the yard?"

"Because I'm afraid of trouble. If the diligent Sella is willing to do it, I'd be happy to help."

"So they just want to use me as free labor."

Let's start a family vegetable garden together!

"Hmph, no way."

The android maid gave a disdainful smile.

But for some reason, she felt a warm sensation in her chest.

The flowers were planted secretly, without anyone knowing, but he found out.

Just now, Shirou noticed me struggling in the kitchen and came over to help.

Although she has a somewhat carefree personality, she possesses a keen and meticulous eye for detail.

Perhaps it was from that time that Sella began to change her opinion of Shirou.

She began to understand why her master was so fond of Shirou, and why her sisters trusted Shirou so much.

From that time on, Sella changed her previous cold attitude towards Shirou.

She works hard as a member of the Amamiya Residence, both for Irisviel and for Shirou.

That's what Sella thinks.

Their relationship improved, and they started calling each other by our first names instead of "Mr. Amamiya" and "Ms. Sella".

At the same time, Sella also became increasingly interested in Shirou.

At the time, she didn't know what this feeling was.

Until she heard from Irisviel about her desire to be with Shirou and have his child—

Sella's mind went blank, and her body began to sway.

"... What's wrong, Sella?"

"N-nothing."

Sella casually shook her head.

It hurts.

It hurts.

It hurts.

The android maid pressed her hand against her chest, which felt like it was about to burst.

Although she couldn't understand it, she sensed the Root of this pain...

I think I've fallen for Shirou.

However, this is an emotion that cannot be allowed.

Shirou is the most important person to his master Irisviel.

There was no room for a servant like myself to intervene there.

Moreover—from the very beginning, I had misunderstood.

Shirou is gentle with Sella not for any particular reason, but because he is gentle with everyone.

But I took that tenderness as my salvation.

Sella decided to keep these feelings hidden deep in her heart.

Several years have passed since then.

Illyasviel, the child of Shirou and Irisviel, was born and grew up.

Sella treated the two children she loved most as her own, and took great care of Illya's daily needs.

Unlike Ley Stritt, although she is usually very strict with Illya, her bottom line is very low.

If Illya uses her charm, she'll grant any request, no matter how small.

Although they had shifted their focus to Illya's education, they were still living under the same roof.

Sella couldn't help but feel aroused whenever she witnessed Shirou and Irisviel being intimate.

Sometimes, inappropriate evil thoughts arise.

How wonderful it would be if I were the woman Shirou was holding in his arms.

I wish I were the woman Shirou was pinning down on the bed.

Well...

Will this kind of life continue...?

"Sella? Why is she asleep in the bathtub?"

In her dazed state, she heard a voice in the ear of the android maid.

"This won't do, I'll catch a cold... Waaah, isn't this the water that Eiri and I used before?"

Shirou stared in disbelief at Sella was asleep in the bathtub.

Although we've been told to conserve water, can't we just flush that water away?

"Taking a bath in this water will make even a clean body dirty..."

Shirou said, utterly speechless.

"Hmm... um?"

Sella awoke from a dream of distant memories.

"Shirou?"

Why do I see Shirou's face as soon as I open my eyes?

I understand now, this must be a dream! I haven't fully woken up from the dream yet!

The android maid thought to herself in a daze.

"Sella, are you awake? Can you get out by yourself?"

"Shirou... carry me out~"

"Ah?"

Sella spoke in a coquettish tone, opening her slender arms wide.

"Sella? You're not out of your mind from being in the water, are you?"

Shirou thought she looked a bit like a drunkard, her face was flushed.

"That seems to be the case, so Shirou... carried me out."

Sella urged again.

Although going back to ask Ritseliete for help was an option, Shirou ultimately decided to carry Sella out first for safety reasons.

He had just put his hand into the bathtub—

Sella suddenly grabbed him and hugged him, knocking Shirou to the ground.

"..."

Unlike Irisviel, the slender, beautiful body of the young girl pressed down on her.

Even though her bust wasn't particularly impressive, Sella's body was still very alluring; she was probably what people call curvaceous and shapely.

Shirou quickly looked away. "Sella? Don't keep sleeping here, get up first."

"Hmm~"

Sella was helped to her feet by the boy, but she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Should I take a shower? The water in the bathtub... I think I should."

"Um."

Without hesitation, Sella replied, "Shirou, please wash me."

"Stop joking, this isn't the time for jokes... I'll go get Liz to help you wash."

Sella clutched the boy's shirt tightly, looking up at him with teary eyes and began to speak.

"Didn't Shirou say that I can ask you for help if I need anything?"

"Uh, that's definitely what I said."

Sella nodded in satisfaction and sat down on the bench.

"All right."

Shirou stared at her proud, bare back, gritted his teeth, and picked up the showerhead.

I gritted my teeth and carefully washed every inch of my skin.

Justiça stood at the bathroom door, hearing the sounds coming from inside, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

Volume 8: Chapter 352 The Amamiya Residence's ○○ Handling Specialist +1

Sella stood alone, gazing up at the mottled ceiling of the room.

What I can't forget are the scenes etched in my mind.

Last night in the bathroom, she vaguely saw Shirou's face while soaking in the bathtub until she passed out.

The red-haired boy's appearance in the steamy bathroom was so dreamlike that she felt as if she were still in a dream.

Since it's a dream... it shouldn't matter what I do, right?

Things I wouldn't normally dare to do.

Things I wouldn't normally dare to say.

Even if it's an act of betraying one's master—if it's in a dream, it shouldn't matter.
