As A Maid, I Can Fix Her!

Chapter 7: Chapter 6 - Joking Around And Find Out

Master Reina looked at me with a cynical look in her eyes, as if she was feeling annoyed.

Her cute face looked sad after being subjected to my pranks several times. With a look in her eyes that had managed to withstand my little pranks, she placed the empty cup of tea on the table.

Tap...

Tap...

While playing with her fingers on the table, Master Reina exhaled as if she were calming herself.

"I actually want to be angry with you, Liliana."

"But, it can’t be helped! THIS TEA IS TOO DELICIOUS TO BE MAD AT YOU."

"YOU’RE LUCKY THIS TIME!" said my Master in a loud, booming voice throughout the kitchen.

My body responded with incredible respect and bowed to receive Master Reina’s praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Reina."

"So, would you like to try some tea with chopped mint leaves?" I asked, keeping a mischievous smile on my face.

This prank I pulled seemed to almost make Master Reina lose control; her hand that had just put down the empty cup of tea now held it again, and she was getting ready to throw another cup of tea at me.

"Master Reina..."

"Please be patient a little bit longer and think of this as an exercise... in self-control," I continued, still smiling mischievously at my Master.

Master Reina’s face turned gloomy after her hand that was holding the tea had to be patient for a little longer in accepting my limitless mischief.

The trembling of her small hands was obvious, as if she were contemplating another move that would be equivalent to throwing a cup of tea at me.

The small tremors in her hands grew louder, and my Master slowly placed the cup of tea on the table.

"Phew... I almost got hit by a teacup for the second time," I grumbled as I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Master Reina.

"Good move to restrain yourself from my temptation... to throw teacup to me, Master Reina."

Without any guilt, I raised my thumbs as if giving her a short compliment.

"I had no idea about this plan of yours, Liliana."

"For sure, I can restrain myself from throwing an empty cup of tea at you."

My Master’s facial expression was still the same as before, looking annoyed and wanting to attack me with physical action.

If only the world of this novel had limited physical violence towards small children, perhaps I would have done something more than just tease my Master.

"This kind of training will come in handy someday, Master Reina."

"Please allow me to play a prank— I mean tease you like this."

Bonnkk!!

Right after my plans and my heart were accidentally uttered, I got a gentle hit from my mother using an empty teacup.

I had just dodged a teacup attack from my Master, but a teacup attack from my own Mother hit my head instead.

"Ouch!" With such a small scream, I could feel the pain spreading rapidly across my head.

Has torturing one’s own daughter become a mother common hobby in this world?

I need a Committee for the Protection of Minors right now!

Yes, although that is impossible!

I’ve already worked as a maid at such a young age!

My hopes of being a normal girl were gone after being born to a mother who worked as a maid in a high-ranking noble mansion.

"Mom, that hurts, you know!"

"My head can’t take the impact!" I screamed in a soft voice mixed with pain.

The dizziness I felt in my head now spread to the rest of my body, and my vision seemed to be blurry after receiving a tea cup attack from my mother.

"Even though the day before, I got a tea cup attack from Master Reina."

"Now, I’m getting a teacup attack from my own mother."

"Looks like I’m having bad luck today, hahaha..." With that little laugh, I could feel the small wound that had closed on the top of my head reopen.

The dizziness that was throbbing in my head now felt as warm as the blood flowing from my head.

"Ugghh!!" I couldn’t deny the pain, and my body felt too heavy to stand.

Buugghh...

Without any strength left to stand on my two feet, my body fell, and my ears were busy hearing the voice calling my name.

[ Reina’s POV ]

I don’t know what’s going on at the moment.

At first, I just wanted to go to the part of the kitchen that the Maids used for breakfast and meet someone to apologize.

I already knew, this was a troublesome action, but my mother always forced me to apologize to a girl who was the same age as me and worked as an apprentice maid at a young age.

The reason I do this?

Of course, it was an honorable act of a noble to praise the excessive taste of tea.

I don’t know the details, but I’ve definitely done something related to throwing teacup to appreciating a delicious cup of tea.

The details of the incident were hazy, so I assumed it was a minor incident.

However, I had to apologize to a little girl I accidentally hurt.

Our first meeting was quite awkward; I had to take the trouble to kick her with both my feet to stop her from running.

I have to admit, it was pretty rough to do, and it felt good to do it again.

The night before, my mother had told me about the girl I had hurt with a thrown teacup. Her name was Liliana, a commoner who was working alongside her mother as an apprentice maid.

Based on information from my mother, this kind of commoner will work at a young age to gain work experience and become a professional maid in adulthood.

I didn’t understand every word my mother said, and I agreed to apologize to the girl.

Even though it seemed like I was forced to do it, I made a sincere apology and asked her to make me another cup of that delicious tea.

It should have gone smoothly, if only the girl named Liliana hadn’t done something strange to the teapot she was carrying.

At that moment, I actually got a choice of a teapot that had a sharp smell and looked suspicious with her mysterious smile.

I don’t know what kind of courage possessed her. I felt like I was being played by this girl until I was forced to drink the cup of delicious tea until it was finished.

It’s hard to admit, really...

However, this cup of tea, with its delicious and smooth flavor, was perfect for my heat-sensitive palate. Unlike the steaming hot tea my mother often drank, this cup of tea was smooth and warm.

The only advantage this girl has is her skill in making tea that suits me.

On the other hand, her weakness was her constant temptation to throw an empty teacup at her.

Luckily, I managed to resist the urge.

However, the poor little girl was get an hit by her mother’s empty teacup.

Boonkk!!

Crack!!

I could hear the sound of the teacup breaking clearly and see the little girl’s expression as she was holding back the pain.

With such a hard blow, I expected her to be angry with her mother. Instead, she joked with her mother, causing the blood from the top of her head to trickle down her forehead.

Her unfunny little jokes continued until her body fell to the floor.

"Liliana?"

"LILIANA!"

A scream echoed throughout the room, and her mother dropped the cup of tea she had just used and hit her on the head.

Actually...

What am I seeing at?
