Emma : "Master... I have something to tell you-" Before Emma could finish her sentence, the bathroom door opened, revealing Alice wearing the clothes

that Emma gave.

Y/N looked away from Emma, now looking and blushing towards Alice.

Alice was wearing a slightly dark peach colored sweatshirt, one could clearly see her big bosoms.

She also wore baby blue jeans that perfectly captured her sexy waist. She looked very casual, yet very beautiful.

And yet, she had the same

blank look on her face.

Y/N : "Alice...! You look very beautiful-!"

Y/N honestly complimented Alice.

He really does thinks she is beautiful.

Alice's cheeks slowly

turned red, blushing.

Beautiful...?

Y/N thinks she's beautiful...?

It was the first time she heard a client call her that. Everyone would just call her "cold" or "emotionless". Never have she heard someone call her something as nice as "beautiful" with that much sincerity.

She was taken a back, even confused.

As she was blushing with confusion,

Y/N was seeing her blush.

It was the first time

Y/N saw that cute blush.

Who knew that an emotionless girl like Alice could blush so cutely like that?

Alice : "R-Really...?" She questioned, her heart throbbing, making sure.

Y/N : "Ofcourse!" He beamed.

Alice became quiet.

Her heart fluttering.

She doesn't know what

she is feeling at all...

Y/N turned to Emma.

Y/N : "What were you about to say again, Emma?"

Emma : "Huh? Oh... Nothing."

She answered weakly.

Emma heard everything her master said. And now, she finally made up her mind to kill him in the night.

After Alice got proper clothes for the mall, she and Y/N stood at the living room before Lucius, asking him if they could go out.

Y/N : "Please, Lucius! I finally have a bodyguard so I'm sure it will be safe!"

Lucius took a look at

Y/N and Alice, thinking.

He sighed.

Lucius : "Fine... You guys have already changed your clothes anyways..."

Y/N smiled wide. As for Alice, she was glad aswell. She doesn't know why, but she's hoping to spend time with Y/N.

After quickly convincing Lucius with ease, Y/N and Alice are now inside the family car, with Ressen driving for them.

Ressen : "Where are we going today?"

Y/N : "To the mall."

Ressen : "Ah, Lucius allowed you?"

Y/N : "Yep!" He happily claimed.

Ressen chuckled as

he stepped on the gas.

The car drove out of the mansion and into the roads. They passed by the beautiful urban landscape of the city. With green tress and tall buildings.

The city is busy, but there's

also some peace in it.

After driving, they arrived at the mall.

Ressen drove to the parking area

where he carefully parked the car.

Ressen : "Here we are."

Y/N : "Thanks alot, Ressen."

Ressen : "It's my job."

He gave a fake smile.

Y/N and Alice opened the

car doors and walked out.

Ressen watched them with vicious eyes as they walked towards the mall.

Ressen : "Idiots." He laughed.

The mall was bustling with activity.

People were playing games on the arcade. Eating at fastfood restaurants. Watching an awaited film on the cinema. Or shopping for their needs.

Whatever you need, the mall has it!

Which is the reason why Y/N is so enthusiastic about the mall, as a child of a rich family, all his needs and services was delivered to him and he was sheltered from the reality of the world in some degree.

He started to snuck out of school just to play at the arcade. This place really brings back memories to him.

Y/N smiled.

Y/N : "You know, I used to skip classes just to go here." He chuckled.

Alice : "Really?"

Y/N : "Yep. Don't tell Lucius though-"

A small smile formed on Alice's lips.

Alice : "I won't, sir."

Y/N : "So... I think its best

if we play at the arcade first!"

__________________

The two of them entered the arcade.

Flashes of LED lights and the sounds of various games greeted their senses.

Y/N bought of alot of tokens at the counter just so that they can play

alot of games.

They tried every game. And it was alot of fun. Especially for Alice, it was the first time she had played in the arcade.

And the first time a client wanted to do something fun with her.

She felt more like a friend rather

than a bodyguard to Y/N.

Her crusted heart had soften

for the first time in her life.

And as she stayed by the side of Y/N, the more she found within herself that she likes it being close to him.

As their tokens dwindled down,

they looked for any games

they haven't played yet.

And sure enough, they found one -

The Claw Crane.

They approached the Claw Crane,

as if in a menacing manner.

Y/N inserted a token, the token made a clacking sound as it reached inside. The red LED timer of the claw crane litted up, indicating that the game has started.

Y/N relaxed, composing himself so that he could successfully grab a plushie.

He spotted a cute white bunny plushie in a reasonable position to be captured.

He started moving the crane towards the bunny plushie. Lowering the crane so that he may retrieve it. But the crane only managed to grab the ear of the bunny, resulting into it not being captured.

A pang of disappointment kicked inside Y/N as he watched the crane return with no plushie extracted.

Y/N : "Dammit."

Alice could hear Y/N's disappointment.

She never truly really cared about people, only for her clients, but even then, that's not really care, that's just her being concern for her job. But it was the first time she didn't want to see someone to be disappointed.

She wanted to cheer Y/N,

no matter what it takes.

Alice : "I'll try it, sir."

Y/N stepped aside as

Alice stepped forward.

She inserted a token, starting the claw crane. She quickly focused herself, setting her target on the bunny plushie that Y/N was trying to get earlier.

She smoothly and calmly operated the crane, targeting for the center of the plushie.

She lowered the crane,

successfully retrieving the plushie!

Y/N : "You did it!" He happily cheered.

Alice got the white bunny

plushie and handed it to Y/N.

Y/N : "Huh...? But you won it, Alice."

Alice : "You can have it, sir."

Y/N : "Thank you very much! You're the best Alice!" He thanked Alice with a very cute smile.

Alice blushed as she heard those words.

She doesn't know why but she now wants to always cheer Y/N up.
