"O-Oh."
Jake let out a surprised sound at the sudden maid greeting.
Aria rose smoothly to her feet.
Then, without waiting for him to say anything else, she stepped closer and began helping him remove his outer coat.
Jake blinked.
"Ah, wait. I can do that myself."
"Your body appears to be exhausted, Master. Allow me to assist you."
Her tone remained calm and matter-of-fact as she carefully loosened his coat and slipped it off his shoulders. Jake could only stand still and let her work.
'She's really taking her role as a maid seriously, huh…'
Once Aria had finished removing his coat, she folded it neatly over her arm before looking at him.
"Master, would you like to take a bath first, have dinner, or…"
She paused.
Aria raised one hand and gently placed her index finger against her cheek.
Then she tilted her head slightly and shifted her posture, trying to strike what she presumably thought was a seductive pose. Her expression, however, remained as serious as ever.
