Will You Be My Servant? (26)

Megumi: And where are you heading off to?

Kimi: What are you doing in the Servant section?

Megumi: I heard that you were speaking to Rumi.

Kimi: And who did you hear that from?

Megumi: I have spies everywhere and don’t change the subject.

Kimi: I can’t say hi?

Megumi: I thought we had a deal and you seem to be breaking it.

Kimi: And what do you suppose I do, ignore her completely?

Megumi: Why not?

Kimi: Don’t you think that would look a little suspicious? People are going to notice and then they’re going to ask questions. And I think the last thing you want is people asking questions.

Megumi: You know me so well Kimiko, yet I don’t know that much about you. But I would like to. What are you doing after school?

Kimi: Let me be frank, Master Megumi. I am a Servant and as of right now, I claimed by no one. And if it so happens that I do become yours, it will strictly be a Master and Servant relationship. Nothing more, remember that.

Megumi: You know a Servant’s job is to serve her Master. Therefore, you have to do EVERYTHING I say. Remember that.

Rumi: Good you’re here.

Kimi: Scared I wasn’t going to show?

Rumi: Never. I know if you said you’ll be here, you’ll be here. So what did you want to talk about?

Kimi: I’ve been thinking about it and I don’t think this is a good idea.

Rumi: What do you say that?

Kimi: If Master Megumi finds out—

Rumi: Megumi won’t.

Kimi: It’s better and safer if someone else tutors you. Why don’t you ask Anika to help you?

Rumi: I can’t. She needs to focus on her studies.

Kimi: And I don’t?

Rumi: She has a lot of ground to cover and you, you’re #1. You’re the best and I want to learn from the best. Kimiko, I need you.

Kimi: If we’re going to do this, there has to be rules.

Rumi: Okay.

Kimi: Rule #1 No one finds out about us and I mean no one, not even Sakiko.

Rumi: I can do that.

Kimi: Rule #2 You do everything I say. EVERYTHING!

Rumi: So basically Rule #2 is I give up my right of being a Master.

Kimi: To others, nothing has changed. You are a Master and I am a Servant, nothing more. But when we’re alone, I am your Master. Do you accept Rule #2?

Rumi: … I do.

Kimi: You paused. Are you absolutely sure?

Rumi: I am you’re Servant and you are my Master. Please take care of me. <Bow>

Kimi: … For Rule #3…

Rumi: How many rules are there?

Kimi: Shhh… Someone’s coming.

Rumi: We’re in a closet. Where can we hide?

Kimi: In the corner, where the two shelves meet.

Rumi: Can we fit in there?

Kimi: We’re going to have to try.

Servant #1: If I find out that I have another test this week, I am going to scream.

Servant #2: I think we have one on Thursday.

Servant #1: Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Servant #2: Satisfied?

Servant #1: I needed that.

Servant #2: What you need is a brain like Servant Mizuno Kimiko. Then you wouldn’t have to study at all.

Servant #1: Mizuno, it’s because of her that we have to study so hard in the first place. She makes us all look bad if our grades aren’t up to par with hers.

Servant #2: I pity her. <Kimiko clenches her fist> All she has is her grades to comfort her.

Servant #1: And Megumi.

Servant #2: She’ll get what’s coming to her, just you wait. Now where did Sensei say the box was?

Servant #1: It’s over here. You carry this and I’ll carry the rest.

Rumi: I think the coast is clear. Are you okay?

Kimi: I should be asking you that. You were probably crushed by me.

Rumi: I’m fine, but are you?

Kimi: We should leave before we get caught. I’ll leave first and in 5 minutes you can do the same.

Rumi: You know… if you need to talk to someone, you can talk to me.

Kimi: You don’t have to force yourself to be my friend just because I’m helping you.

Rumi: I want to be your friend because I choose to. And I can be a really good one, but only if you let me.

Kimi: … You are my Servant <opens door>… nothing more. <door closes>
