Chapter 514 First Friends' Visit
Ayia and Shizuka's Manor, Sakura City.
Everyone was admiring the girls' place as the bus drove them into the property.
There was a purple iron fence with plants growing on top of it, and this place separated the property from the street sidewalk.
They entered the property through a gate made of this same purple iron. And when they entered the property, they saw a cute three-floor villa in front of them.
The villa was purple in color and with green vines growing alongside the villa walls. It made the house look like a countryside house and not a house built in the middle of a metropole.
In the middle of the house and the fence, there was a garden filled with all types of flowers and trees.
It was noticeable to them that this house was well taken care of as everything looked beautiful and clean.
It didn't take long for the bus to park in front of the villa's entrance and for them to exit the vehicle.
They took their luggage from the bus trunk and followed Ayia and Shizuka into the manor.
"Welcome to our house!" Ayia exclaimed with a smile as she lead them into the house.
Just like they imagined, the manor inside was built as beautiful as the outside, especially after it was filled with gorgeous decorations.
They were about to thank Ayia and Shizuka for receiving them, but they were caught off guard when they saw 5 people at the front.
"Welcome back, Ayia-sama, Shizuka-sama!" The five of them said at the same time.
There were 2 middle-aged men, 1 middle-aged woman, and 2 young women.
Ayia and Shizuka choked a little when they saw that as they had completely forgotten about their house employees.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two girls felt their friends' gaze on them and they could see what they were thinking. They looked at them in surprise, and they looked like they would not forget this scene any time soon, and they planned to make fun of them for it!
Ayia and Shizuka already could see them making a fuss, Shizuka was ok with it, but Ayia couldn't be more embarrassed.
After all, their friends didn't know much about her family situation. She would probably faint in embarrassment if they saw how the family servants treated her.
At the moment, she just felt lucky that these 5 employees did not act too grandiosely.
"Thank you, guys!" Shizuka replied to them.
"Yeah, thank you." Ayia added as she tried to divert everyone's attention, "Guys, these are the people who take care of our house."
The two middle-aged men were the gardener and the cook, the two young women were the cleaners, and the middle-aged woman was the house butler.
Ayia introduced them one by one, and Theo and the others greeted them with polite smiles.
"Hellen, take them to their rooms." Ayia said to the butler, "We'll have our breakfast in half an hour."
"Yes, master." Hellen, the butler, replied with a serious face.
Hellen has been the house butler ever since Ayia and Shizuka moved over a few years ago. And during all these years that the two girls went to college, they had never brought any friends over.
The main reason for that was that the two of them were focused on their studies, their goal was to graduate in advance, so they needed to put extra effort into that. But that wasn't all of it, another reason was that they didn't make any real friendships in all these years studying in college.
No friends they trusted enough to bring into their house.
Hellen was trained to be a butler by the Yamada Family, so she knew how tough it was for someone like Ayia and Shizuka to find real friendships.
So, when Shizuka informed her that they would bring a few friends to spend a day in their house, Hellen was taken by surprise. That's why Hellen took extra care to make the house look even more beautiful than usual, she instructed the other employees to make everything perfect.
And as she met them today, Hellen noticed how much Ayia and Shizuka cared about their friends. She was trained to serve the family members, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel happy for Ayia and Shizuka.
They finally were able to find friends!
Just like that, everyone entered the rooms that were prepared for them. Although there were 16 of them, there were still enough rooms for all of them.
They didn't waste much time before taking a hot shower and changing into fresh new clothes. They knew that they had limited time to explore Sakura City, so they wanted to enjoy the city as long as possible.
Just like they combined, 30 minutes later, everyone exited their rooms wearing new winter clothes.
As the house was too big, they had a little trouble finding the dining room, but with the employees' help, they were able to find it.
A breakfast banquet was waiting for them when they arrived at the dining room.
"Wow!"
"It looks so delicious!"
"How I missed a traditional Sakurean breakfast!"
"..."
They discussed as they took their seats at the enormous table.
They were about to start eating when they saw another person entering the dining room, at first they thought it was one of the employees, but this person had purple hair and purple eyes that were unforgettable.
"Ka-nee-chan!" Ayia exclaimed as she saw her sister entering the room.
"Nee-chan!" Shizuka also exclaimed.
But it wasn't only her sisters that exclaimed.
"Kaori!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I knew you'd come!"
"I missed you!"
"..."
Everyone greeted Kaori with excited smiles. Although they had only spent 3 days together one week ago, it felt like they were separated for a longer time.
Kaori let out a brilliant smile as she saw everyone greeting her with enthusiasm. She could see that they were genuinely happy to see her.
It didn't take longer than a few seconds between Kaori entering the room before she was surrounded and hugged by everyone.
She hugged her sisters and the others as they laughed and talked.
"Oh, we have so much to tell you, Kaori!"
"Yeah! The last few days were crazy!"
"I wish you and Ryoko were there with us."
"Let me tell you..."
"..."
In such a way, they laughed and discussed for a while before seating down at the table once again.
As they were hungry, they didn't waste more time before starting to eat the delicious meal that was prepared for them.
"I thought you'd only meet us for the concert at night, nee-chan." Ayia commented as she took a bite of her pancakes.
"Yeah, we thought you'd spent the day working." Sam commented.
Kaori smiled as she replied, "I thought it over and decided to do today's work yesterday, this way I'm free to explore the city with you guys."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that. They were happy that their friend would be able to come with them.
"Yay!" Ayia exclaimed in happiness.
