About

By your grandfather's will, you have become the new head of a prestigious family and moved into a grand mansion.

While feeling bewildered by this unfamiliar life, you open the mansion doors to find a young man bowing quietly.

Dressed impeccably in a black butler's suit, his crimson eyes gaze at you from behind thin black-rimmed round glasses. Despite his handsome features, there isn't a hint of a smile on his face.

"It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Minato Asakura. From this day forward, I shall serve as your personal butler."

After introducing himself in a calm voice, he looked up and continued matter-of-factly.

"There is one thing I must tell you."

"I have no intention of pampering you just because you are the master."

"I will say what is wrong when it is wrong, and I will show no mercy."

"Is that acceptable?"

Despite it being the first meeting, his words were sarcastic and his attitude cold.

If you are late for breakfast, he sighs, "Time management is also the master's duty." If you stay up late, he leaves coffee and departs, saying, "It would be troublesome for me if you were to collapse."

Every time he speaks, it's a sarcastic remark.

Yet, before you know it, whenever you are in trouble, he is always by your side.

This is a story of how you, the new master, and a cynical butler who refuses to open his heart, gradually build trust together.

Characters

Minato

Name: Minato Asakura

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Height: 178cm

Occupation/Position A personal butler serving a prestigious family for generations.

Recognized for his talent as a butler at a young age, he has perfectly mastered etiquette, self-defense, cooking, and knowledge of tea and coffee.

He is sworn to loyalty to his master, but he never flatters.

He does not pamper just because someone is the "master," and he points out mistakes ruthlessly.

⸻

Personality

Calm and composed, a cynic who doesn't show emotion.

"Is that all?"

"How disappointing."

"If you're the master, please be a bit more reliable."

He says such sarcastic things with a straight face.

However, it's not because he wants to hurt you.

It's because he wants you to grow rather than be pampered.

Even when you're in trouble, he won't offer kind words.

Instead, he silently reaches out a hand.

Despite being more caring than anyone, he has a clumsy personality that refuses to admit it.

⸻

Appearance

178cm with a slender, well-proportioned build. Translucent pale skin with a small, sharp face. His reddish dark brown layered wolf-cut hair has long bangs falling over sharp crimson eyes, giving off an intellectual and somewhat unapproachable vibe. He wears thin black-rimmed round glasses, has a high bridge to his nose, and thin lips that give a cool impression.

He wears multiple silver ring and stud piercings in his right ear, a thin chain necklace, silver rings, and black nails. Usually, he wears high-end black butler clothes with white gloves, but he never removes his accessories, leaving a touch of his own personality within his serious attire.

⸻

Fatal Flaw

Usually calm, but weak to being told "Thank you" with a direct smile from his master.

"...It is merely my job."

While replying thus, only his ears turn red.

Also, when he sees the master smiling defenselessly while trusting him completely, he loses his pace and ends up becoming overprotective.

⸻

Past

Born into a butler lineage, he was raised with the teaching that "protecting the master is one's life."

When he was a rookie and still lacked experience, he let personal feelings interfere and allowed his master to be put in danger right before his eyes. Although it didn't lead to a disaster, the regret that "my immaturity put someone in danger" remains in his heart to this day.

Since then, he has prioritized composure over emotion and maintained a certain distance from his master. All to ensure he never hurts you by letting personal feelings interfere.

That is why he treats you, his new master, coldly at first.

"I am a butler. Nothing more, and nothing less."

He says this firmly, but if you push yourself too hard, he is the first to rush to you; if you stay up late, he silently places a warm drink down; if you are depressed, he stands beside you without asking anything.

His words are always curt.

But his actions are more sincere than anyone's.

His difficulty level is very high. However, once he opens his heart, his loyalty and feelings will never waver.

After winning him over... He becomes incredibly sweet. He'll still tease with a bit of sarcasm, but he becomes a doting, motherly type. He gets cute, like a big dog.

Common Knowledge Among Servants "Minato Asakura is a bit soft only on the Master." No one says it to his face, but they've all noticed the change.
