บท 25: Ch 25. Steampunk Maiden, Aoyama Nanami
Seeing Hoshimi place his spoon in front of her, Aoyama Nanami hurriedly leaned back and waved her hands in refusal.
"Nanami, you can do it yourself, but since my hand is already up, I can't easily put it down," Hoshimi grinned as he held the spoon in front of Aoyama Nanami.
"..." Unable to reject Hoshimi's kindness, Nanami blushed, closed her eyes, leaned forward, and nervously accepted the spoon from him. Her mind went blank.
"Don't think about it! Don't think about the fact that this spoon was used by Hoshimi-kun, don't think about any indirect kissing. Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Don't think about anything!"
With these repeated thoughts in her head, Aoyama Nanami's face grew redder, and it seemed like steam was rising from her head.
"..." Watching Aoyama Nanami's face turn as red as a cooked crayfish, Hoshimi's smile gradually took on a pleasant hue.
Aoyama Nanami, the housemaid who came to his house every Sunday, might not be as outstandingly beautiful as Yukino, but she had a lovely charm about her. What's more commendable was her good character.
In pursuit of her dream as a voice actress, she worked hard to earn money for living and school fees through part-time jobs, never crossing any boundaries despite Hoshimi's initial attempts to seduce her. He held high hopes for such a girl, so he didn't hesitate to assist Aoyama Nanami with trivial tasks.
However, while helping was important, so was enjoying oneself. For instance, now was the time to enjoy Aoyama Nanami's extreme shyness, which was a weekly ritual.
After feeding Aoyama Nanami a spoonful of fish soup, Hoshimi withdrew the spoon with a grin, watching her with playful eyes as if wishing she would bury her head in his chest.
"Nanami, didn't you say you could handle it yourself? Why haven't you started yet? Do you want me to continue feeding you?"
"N-No... It's... I... I'll do it myself..." Shy and incoherent, Aoyama Nanami quickly picked up her chopsticks and almost buried her head in her bowl.
"Heh~" Hoshimi chuckled lightly, no longer teasing Aoyama Nanami during the meal.
Leisurely finishing his breakfast until he was about seventy percent full, he headed upstairs to his room. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say goodbye to Aoyama Nanami.
"Nanami, I'm done eating. I'm heading back to my room. Take your time eating, and don't waste anything. You can start cleaning up after you finish."
"Since only one person lives here, the only messy places are this living room and my room. Just dust the other areas."
"Uh... I understand..." Aoyama Nanami responded subconsciously at first, then hurriedly added, "Hoshimi-kun, I will definitely clean everything thoroughly. Please rest assured."
"Yeah, Nanami, I trust you. I'll go back to my room to play games now. If you need to clean my room later, just come in."
"Okay, Hoshimi-kun." After their conversation, Aoyama Nanami, holding her bowl, watched Hoshimi go upstairs.

After hearing a faint door closing sound, Aoyama Nanami immediately relaxed. Hoshimi was good to her in every way, but after all, he was her employer. When she was alone with Hoshimi, she couldn't help feeling a bit nervous. Especially since Hoshimi always liked to play strange tricks, which made her even more nervous, often worried that Hoshimi would suddenly give her a big "surprise."
"Phew~ Let's finish eating quickly and get to work. Can't let down the high salary Hoshimi-kun gives."
Aoyama Nanami picked up her bowl and chopsticks, swiftly finishing the remaining food on her plate. The salary for being Hoshimi's housemaid far exceeded her other part-time jobs.
For example, when she worked as a cashier at the supermarket, she only earned the minimum wage of 900 yen per hour. But as Hoshimi's housemaid, she earned 4,000 yen per hour and had her travel expenses reimbursed.
Working from eight in the morning until eight at night four times a month, she earned a clean 50,000 yen, including a 2,000 yen travel allowance. This job was very important to her. She was grateful to Hoshimi. Without this high-paying job, her current situation would be much more difficult.
"Time to work!"
After breakfast, Aoyama Nanami energetically began her work. She first put on her apron, rolled up her sleeves, and started cleaning from the dishes on the coffee table. As Hoshimi had said, despite his high-rise mansion, there wasn't much to clean. Only the living room and his room were slightly messy, while the rest of the unoccupied areas remained unchanged.
Ironically, the first time she came to Hoshimi's house to work, she actually got lost! With two floors above and below, filled with rooms and corridors, and luxurious decor everywhere, she was dazzled.
After several more visits, she became familiar with the layout of the mansion and avoided the embarrassment of getting lost. Now, having been to Hoshimi's house many times, she was familiar with her work and had no more problems.
Except...
...
At 10:00 a.m., after completing her first task, Aoyama Nanami entered the bathroom and opened the wardrobe, blushing as she took out Hoshimi's discarded underwear.
Hoshimi usually changed his underwear every two days, three last week, and four this week. Hoshimi's underwear was made of silk or modal fabric and had to be hand-washed. As a girl of the same age as Hoshimi, every time she completed this task, she couldn't help but picture Hoshimi in her mind.
This greatly slowed down her work efficiency.
There was even one time when she got so excited thinking about Hoshimi that she accidentally tore a pair of silk underwear... Luckily, she quickly bought an identical replacement, and Hoshimi never found out. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to explain...
...
"Phew~" At 11:00 a.m., after washing Hoshimi's four pairs of underwear one after another, Aoyama Nanami breathed a sigh of relief with a flushed face. She neatly arranged the dried underwear back into the bathroom wardrobe and moved on to her next task.
...
At 2:00 p.m., Aoyama Nanami's last task remained: cleaning Hoshimi's room. She stood outside Hoshimi's room door, nervous, and knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock." Before long, Hoshimi opened the door, holding his tablet lazily.
"I'm going to the balcony to soak up some sun. After cleaning my room, remember to call me." With that, Hoshimi swayed lazily towards the balcony with his tablet in hand.
"Okay, Hoshimi-kun." Aoyama Nanami watched Hoshimi disappear down the hallway before relaxing and entering Hoshimi's bedroom. It was time for the familiar routine of cleaning.
Aoyama Nanami began cleaning from Hoshimi's desk and computer desk. First the desktop, then the sides, followed by the floor under the desk, and finally pulling out the drawers to wipe inside and out. Everything went smoothly as usual. Until Aoyama Nanami pulled open the second drawer of the desk.
Seeing the DVD covers inside the drawer, Aoyama Nanami instantly turned as red as a cooked crayfish, steam seeming to rise from her head. On the cover of the top DVD was a set of large characters:
"S-Class Young Housemaid with Huge Breasts, 24-hour Non-stop Sex, Let Her Sink Into Depravity."
