"After the ice cream is finished, we'll go home," Keiko said.
"Can't I stay here just a little longer?" Aira pleaded with a begging tone.
"Bringing you here to eat ice cream is already a violation of Mr. Renji's orders, so please don't make me break his rules any further. If we're caught, I and the others could face severe punishment from Mr. Renji," Keiko firmly refused, knowing that the current situation was unsafe, even though they were here.
"I'm sorry," Aira said regretfully.
"You don't need to apologize. Finish your ice cream. If it's not enough, you can order more, or would you like some cake too?" Keiko offered, trying to lift her mistress's mood.
"No, I'll finish the ice cream, but I can't do it quickly."
"That's fine, take your time. I'll wait patiently."
"Thank you. You're so kind and understanding. No wonder Renji-Kun chose you as my guard," Aira said with a wide smile, praising Keiko's attitude.
