Bodyguards

"Sebastian? Whose that?"

"My driver of course" Said Rena as if it was obvious

"The driver?"

I turned back and glanced at the old man who was driving the car. Sebastian is normally used in foreign countries so I thought I missed something when I saw him before, but there was nothing foreign looking about him. I turned back and said in a confused tone

"But he looks like a normal Japanese person. What's with that name?"

"Of course he's Japanese! Sebastian is just the name I gave him. His real name Toshi"

Wait...What?

"If his real name is Toshi then why do call him Sebastian?"

She grinned and said

"Well, aren't all the butlers and drivers in anime and movies named Sebastian? It would be a shame if I didn't follow the same thing so I decided to call him Sebastian too"

WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!?

"For a reason like that!"

"What's so bad about it? It sounds cool right" Said Rena looking satisfied with the name she gave him

So she just changed a person's name just because it sounds cool. Is she a child? The partition window was open so Sebastian could probably hear us talking about him. I turned back and asked him

"Are you really okay with her calling you by that name?"

Without taking his eyes of the road, he smiled and said

"As long as Rena-sama is happy, I don't mind being called anything"

"O-Oh, I see"

He seems like a nice person. Usually someone would be angry when you change their name but he doesn't seem to mind it at all. Moreover he looks liked like he wholeheartedly accepted it

There are not a lot of people who can do that. And he's also dedicated to his work as a driver. He's the type of person I would like to get to know more about but to think I actually scared him. I need to apologize for that first

"Um...Sorry if I had scared you when you stopped for me. I really didn't mean to do that"

"No-No! It was my mistake! I should be the one to apologize for misunderstanding you" Said Sebastian in a apologetic manner

!

Out of nowhere Rena jumped to my seat and interrupted us with a frown on her face and said

"Sebastian, you shouldn't be the one to apologize! He was the one who was glaring at us like that! He should be the one to say sorry for showing us that sinister sight"

It was that bad? I wasn't even trying to look scary. I was just really excited I was going to kill people again. I guess even my happy face is too intense

"No Rena-sama, the fault is mine" Said Sebastian trying to come Rena down

"But-"

"It's okay Rena-sama. There's no harm in me apologizing for my mistake. You don't need to mind"

Rena looked down in the dumps when her driver had to apologize to me. I was wondering about how she treated him since she was calling him names but it looks like she really cares for him

!

Suddenly Rena turned and glared at me and exclaimed in anger

"Why were you grinning at us like that anyway!? Even the guys in the front and back, thought you were a dangerous person and were advising me to stay in the car!"

Guys in the front and back?...Oh! She must be talking about the men in the suits. What's their deal anyway?

"Sorry about that. I thought you were someone else and got a little alarmed" I said trying to ease the situation

"Huh? Which person can make you give a look like that?" Said Rena with her eyebrows furrowed

Who can make me give a look like that?....Too many to count

"Never mind that, what's with those cars following you? Do you know them?" I said trying to divert the topic. She looked at the car following us in the back and said

"Oh them, they're just my body guards"

"Bodyguards?!"

"Although I don't want them, my aunt insists that they should come along with me" Said Rena as if they were a nuisance in her everyday life

So that's why they had guns. But why does she need armed bodyguards? I get she's rich and needs safety, but isn't 4 of them with guns too much for just going to school. And why did she say that her aunt hired them? Isn't that supposed to be done by her parents?
