章節 19: When She Is Feeling Shy
The doorbell rang just as Astra was reading her books and Hiro was watching the TV.
He stood up and opened the door to see three new faces together with Kaito.
"Hello Hiro, I have brought some of my friends. They were already acquainted with Astra and they brought with them our uniforms," Kaito greeted.
Hiro blinked his eyes, Astra became acquainted with such number of people in such a short time.
He looked at Astra before looking back at the four of them, "Very well, come on in."
"Oh how rude of me, I am Hiro, currently Astra's guardian and one of her companions in the mansion," he then remembered as they started entering.
The other three who couldn't take their eyes off him also realized that they too haven't introduced themselves.
"Oh, I am Kaname."
"Shinobu, it is our pleasure to meet Astra's guardian."
They didn't know whether to call him her brother for they knew that all of them were unrelated and just stayed together in one mansion.
"Hello, I am Takao."
Hiro smiled at them, "Very well, why don't you go and disturb that one?"
"What are you doing?"
The moment he said this, all four of them looked at Astra and there stood Kaito in front of her with her book in his hand.
"Come on, we have visited you, so why don't you come and see the reason why?" he then said putting the bookmark in front of her to the book and placing it down.
Astra tilted her head and looked to the side, there for the first time she noticed that the other three were present.
"Astra," Kaname waved her hand with a bright smile and approached her as well.
"I shall go out for a bit and buy some snack for you guys," Hiro, seeing that Astra nodded her head towards Kaname, who waved at her, knew that she was comfortable with them.
"I want some cream puffs," Astra looked at him and said.
This was something she had enjoyed in this land when she first tasted it.
"The chocolate one?" Hiro asked in return.
"And strawberry," was her reply, to which Hiro just smiled.
"How about you guys? Any particular request?" he then asked them.
The others shook their heads.
Hiro smiled again, "Very well, take your time then. I will be back."
And he left, the other three then breathed out as if they were holding it for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Kaito asked with furrowed brows.
"I don't know, he has this bright aura but I couldn't help but feel some pressure coming from him," Shinobu answered.
"You all three felt it?" he asked looking at the other two.
Takao and Kaname nodded their heads.
"I didn't feel anything though," was his answer as he ponder over it.
"What brought you all here?" Astra finally asked.
"Oh yes, they brought our uniforms to us," Kaito answered and looked at Kaname who was carrying a paper bag.
"Here, you go. Since they were already handing it out. We thought we could just bring yours," she said and handed her the paper bag.
What was inside was a long sleeve thigh length outer in dark blue color with white cuffs and a few silver embellishments as its design.
Together was a white leggings and in it was also a black long boots.
"Why don't you try it?" Kaname asked while beaming.
"Wouldn't I be wearing it by next week?" Astra asked.
And the disappointment was visible in Kaname's eyes, Astra caught the look in Kaito's eyes as if telling her how heartless she was.
Astra couldn't help but to sigh before standing up and entering her room to get change.
Takao and Shinobu patted Kaname's shoulder telling her that she was in luck.
They can see that Astra was an aloof one but it seems she can't say no to Kaito at all. His personality was something she can't disagree with.
It was fifteen minutes later before she came out wearing the whole uniform. She touched the collar while not exactly looking straight at them.
She does not feel comfortable at all.
"Why do you look so cool?" Kaname couldn't help but to smile wide as she looked at Astra.
For with this uniform, she looked like a noble from a story of aristocrats. She looks like a knight and the only missing one was her sword.
"Please don't tease me," was all Astra could say.
Just in time, Hiro returned and he turned agape looking at Astra.
"Woah never thought you could have such a different- ooof."
Before he could finish his sentence, Astra was already in front of him and punched him in the stomach before catching all the stuffs he was carrying.
"You really are so brutal," was all he could say as he hold his stomach.
Kaname, Shinobu and Takao laughed uncertainly while Kaito was laughing out loud.
"Look who's shy now," he even teased only to receive a strong slap in his arm.
"Ouch."
He could only rub his arm that was aching.
"You have seen it already, I am going to change now," Astra placed all the snacks on the table and returned to her room.
"Please forgive her, she was an awkward person, she never truly cared about uniforms and all. Wearing whatever she like," Hiro helplessly said.
He went to the kitchen and boiled some water.
"Are you alright?" Takao couldn't help but ask.
"Hmmm? Oh that? It is fine, that's just how she is when she is feeling shy," was his answer with a smile.
"Though I guess I should thank you?" he then said as he placed cups on the table.
They all looked at him with curiosity.
"I don't know if she had told you all this but this is the first time she had left the mansion. Don't get me wrong we did study there. We tasked her to do this but we are also worried that she might felt lonely."
He shook his head, "But it seems that our worry was for nothing, she was able to become acquainted with you. So thank you, her stay would surely be a wonderful one."
They looked at each other before smiling in reply just in time for Astra to come out.
