"Welcome, Onii-chan~"
The person who greeted Kamishiro Shiro was a little girl? ! !
Because the distance was too close and because of his height, Kamishiro could only see the top of the head, and then he looked at the blond and blue-eyed foreigner not far away with the eyes of looking at a criminal.
This store employs child labor?!
He had an urge to call the police, but then he remembered that this is Japan, where students could do some part-time jobs around the age of 13.
Thinking of this, he gave up the urge to call the police. He didn't want to spend his leisure time in the police station. It would be nice to experience the service of a younger sister character.
But why there are no customers in this store, it seems like I'm the only one there?
Is it because the food is too unpalatable?
Since he was already here, he decided not to change to another restaurant. Maybe this was just a special case, and the waitress just now was quite nice.
Kamishiro Shiro lowered his head and looked at the maid. He was so surprised that he didn't look at her carefully. Judging from her voice, she should be a very lively little sister.
(?ˉ??ˉ??)
Then
He saw a face full of disgust, and the lavender pupils seemed to be looking at some harmful garbage.
Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
"Mafuyu-chan?!"
Cold sweat broke out on Kamishiro's forehead. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
Moreover, his relationship with this acquaintance was not ordinary,...
During his time in A Certain Highschool, in order to study further about ero and difference on both parties, Kamishiro Shiro and Mafuyu-chan had done some memorable things together.
Um
At that time, Kamishiro Shiro felt that he was committing a crime.
After all, this person is only 135cm tall! At that time, she and Komoe Sensei were known as the "double loli" of a certain high school!
That's right
The girl in front of him who looks like a little girl is a legal loli. She is in the same class as Kamishiro Shiro and should be studying at a university in Tokyo now.
No, he just escaped and couldn't fall into the wolf's den so quickly. Besides, he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so how could she still recognize him?
So, now his charm cannot be sealed by masks and sunglasses?
As for Hoshikawa Mafuyu, the moment she saw Kamishiro Shiro, her good mood for the day was gone, and she even wanted to slap herself from a few seconds ago.
"Tsk, you're not dead yet."
It was the same voice, but her attitude was completely different from before. She went from being a cute girl to a cold-blooded killer.
(;?＿?)
"Ahahaha, I... I said I took the wrong way, do you believe me?"
"Well, I believe it. The door is over there. I won't see you off."
Mafuyu nodded. She didn't want to have anything to do with this scumbag. She remembered that this guy had said that he would feel guilty about being with her and then left?!
She wanted to stab a broom into his ass. Why didn't you tell her about this when you went to the love hotel?
It's so abominable!
Unable to bear it any longer, Mafuyu picked up the broom!
╭(°A°`)╮
Sensing the murderous aura, Kamishiro's behind tightened. He had a premonition that if he turned around now, something very terrible would happen.
Just as Kamishiro Shiro was about to retreat quietly, the blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner suddenly appeared between them.
"Mafuyu, you can't treat guests like this. Remember your attributes, your attributes!"
The blond and blue-eyed handsome guy, who didn't understand what was going on, reminded Mafuyu-chan, then turned and said to Kamishiro Shiro.
"Sorry, maybe Mafuyu is a little stressed out lately. Come in and sit...ah!"
The blond and blue-eyed handsome guy screamed and knelt down in front of Kamishiro before he could finish his words. There was a broom stuck in his poor ass.
At the same time, our lovely Mafuyu-chan glared at Kamishiro Shiro in frustration, "You just took the wrong turn, didn't you?"
"Hmmmm, wrong way!"
Kamishiro nodded frantically. After learning from his previous experience, he chose to follow his heart.
Turn around and prepare to leave!
But at this time!
His eyes saw two figures through the glass that shouldn't be here!
Kitahara and Kohei? !
Why are the two of them here?!
Are they here to find me?!
But why?
Kamishiro's brain was spinning wildly, but he still couldn't figure out why these two people came to find him.
However, his sixth sense told him that he must not be found by the two of them!
You know, his sixth sense is very accurate. He just saved his ass from a fatal blow.
Wait, am I forgetting something?
not good!
Back garden!
Kamishiro reacted and hurriedly tried to turn around.
Unfortunately, it's all too late!
Mafuyu had already set her sights on that filthy place the moment Kamishiro turned around.
At this moment, she was like a general charging into battle, thrusting her spear forward without the slightest hesitation!
Thwack—
The soft fabric was pierced, and the spear reached a place that had never been reached before.
And in that instant, Kamishiro understood the true meaning of despair!
"AAAHHHHHHH!!"
(╥_╥)
He finally understood how Mafuyu-chan had felt back then.
…
Outside the Stile Café
With no destination in mind, Iori and Kouhei were leisurely enjoying the streets of Tokyo.
The two girls had eventually agreed to Iori's plan of splitting up. After all, it was a rare trip to Tokyo, and they each had places they wanted to visit.
They were probably at the Tokyo Aquarium by now. Chisa had wanted to see how it compared to the one in Izu.
As for why Iori and Kouhei were strolling so casually through Tokyo?
Well, that was because Iori had no money~
With only a small amount of money left to spend, Iori decided to join the search party for Kamishiro. He even dragged his best friend Kouhei along for the ride.
However, Kouhei was already on the verge of collapsing…
Physically weak, he just wanted to rest now.
And the final straw came when they reached the sign outside the Stile Café.
"Hey, Kitahara, you actually do want to go into that maid café, don't you?"
"Hah? What the hell are you saying, you pig? As if I would."
!!!
"Eh? Why not?"
Kouhei looked at Iori with an innocent expression, genuinely confused by the rejection.
"But they're maids! Who doesn't like maids?!"
"Well, I don't, for one. That time with Aina completely shattered my fantasy of maids."
Iori held his face in agony. With the memory of that day still haunting him, he probably would never be able to look at a maid the same way again.
(´｀;)
Kouhei tilted his head, not understanding at all.
"…Have you been brainwashed or something?"
Judging by his expression, Iori could tell that Kouhei had completely forgotten what happened. So he decided to shut him down right away. "I'm not interested, and I don't have the money for it either. I only have enough for the trip back."
Hearing that, Kouhei nodded sympathetically. "I see. Well, it can't be helped."
Then, he pulled out his phone, tapped a few times, and showed Iori a well-made poster on the screen.
"Kitahara Iori lives with this beauty
Iori and Nanaka-nee together.jpg
Taken at a place Kitahara Iori is often seen frequenting."
"I hope you can understand my situation too, Kitahara~"
!!!
"I-I actually really wanted to go!! And as for the return fare, once we find Kamishiro it won't be a problem anymore!!"
Grrrgrrgrrr
Iori was grinding his teeth in rage. Who the hell started this horrible trend of using photos to blackmail people?!
That kind of person deserves to sink to the bottom of Tokyo Bay!
Seeing this reaction, Kouhei smiled in satisfaction and patted Iori on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm not a devil like Kamishiro. This café isn't even a normal maid café."
He gestured for Iori to look at the Stile Café sign.
"Specialty attributes?"
Iori looked at the sign in confusion. This wasn't what he expected at all.
"So this is what you were really after?"
"Of course! I'm sure they'll have a maid with the little sister trait in there!"
"..."
Yup, this guy was completely obsessed with the little sister archetype.
Well, if that's all it is, I guess it might be tolerable. I wonder what the "big sister" type will be like…
And so, under Kamishiro's horrified gaze, the two of them entered the "attribute café" together—
"Welcome~!"
Greeting Iori and Kouhei was our sadistic queen, Maika-chan~
Her terrifying glare nearly made the two of them flee. It reminded them far too much of Kamishiro whenever he was plotting mischief…
It wasn't until the tsundere girl, Kaho-chan, appeared that they were finally coaxed into staying.
"Tch! Should've just let those two idiots walk away! Why'd they suddenly come in here, anyway? This is just a plain, unpopular café!"
In a corner of the café, wearing sunglasses and a mask, curled up into a ball, Kamishiro was muttering complaints to himself.
He had planned to leave as soon as they walked away, but they came inside instead!
Now what was he supposed to do? All he could do was pray they wouldn't notice him.
Dammit!
His butt still hurt!
Thinking of his poor violated rear, Kamishiro glared resentfully at Mafuyu-chan sitting beside him.
But Mafuyu wasn't the type to back down. She stared right back, her big, expressive eyes instantly overwhelming Kamishiro's squinty ones.
"What are you looking at?. And just for the record, the only reason no one's here is because we just opened. Business is usually great."
Mafuyu defended her workplace. With their fresh and trendy attribute gimmick, the café was actually quite popular. People would be flooding in soon.
Kamishiro nodded. Fair point.
But that wasn't the issue right now! All he cared about was when those two idiots would leave!
"Mafuyu, what are the odds you can get them to leave? Just drive them out like you did to me earlier."
He looked at his long-lost "friend" with hopeful eyes and handed her the broom—the very weapon she had "stabbed" him with.
"Please, I'm begging you!"
(???)
Not only did Mafuyu not take the broom, she gave him a look like he was an idiot. "Have you gone completely nuts? The odds are literally zero. I actually love this job, you know."
(´｀;)
"Didn't you just stab your manager earlier?"
"What's that got to do with my love for this job?"
"..."
Kamishiro fell silent and silently lit three candles in his heart for the poor man still lying in the back room.
What a blessing to have such a passionate employee… Might as well buy some life insurance while he's at it. He'd even help him apply for it if needed!
"So who are those two? Your new lovers or something?"
Mafuyu pointed at the two men at the entrance, convinced they were connected to Kamishiro.
After all, who curses people to leave unless they're trying to hide from them?
She didn't remember Kamishiro being that socially anxious.
"Where the hell do you see lovers in those two?! Mafuyu, you of all people should know my taste!"
Mafuyu rolled her eyes. "Well, your tastes do change quickly. Maybe you're into guys now."
"There's no way I'd ever like guys!!"
Kamishiro was close to losing it. A legendary player like him, fall for a dude? Never. And even if he did, it'd have to be someone better looking!
"Mafuyu-chan, I think you're misunderstanding me. Even after all this time apart, I've never once forgotten about you!"
A sense of dread rose in Kamishiro's heart. He decided to play the emotion card. If it worked, he wouldn't have to worry about being homeless in Tokyo!
He looked deeply into Mafuyu's eyes. "I still dream about your voice every night. In those dreams, I—"
"Stop right there!"
Mafuyu cut him off before he could finish. She wasn't a gullible high school girl anymore!
"If you really meant that, then why didn't you ever ask me to be your girlfriend? You just said you felt guilty and dumped me! As if you even know what guilt is!"
Kamishiro twitched. Okay, that was true. The guilt part, at least.
In all his years as a playboy, that was one of the rare moments he was actually being honest.
"Well… There were some uncontrollable factors involved…"
"Uncontrollable? You mean like getting arrested on our date? You explained that later—um…"
Mafuyu's voice grew quieter. Thinking back, that was a pretty guilt-inducing situation.
(-ω-;)
A strange silence fell between them.
Kamishiro still thought the whole thing was ridiculous.
To think that his one and only trip to the police station in all his years in Tokyo was for suspected child abduction!
Absolutely insane!
He'd never forget the look of shock and disgust in that officer's eyes after the misunderstanding was cleared up.
185 cm paired with 135 cm… That's just a 50 cm difference, okay?!
Kamishiro admitted—he really did feel guilty. So much so that he couldn't even bring himself to flirt with cute little Komoe-sensei afterward, fearing he'd be arrested again.
"Ahem, actually—"
"The little sister types are over there~"
Just as he was about to continue, he heard a devil's voice.
Kamishiro looked toward the entrance in horror and saw the tsundere Kaho-chan cheerfully waving at him.
It should've been a bright and cheerful scene, but to Kamishiro, it was nothing short of a nightmare!
He could already see the suspicious looks Iori and Kouhei were giving him!
Quickly, he ducked his head and muttered under his breath, "You can't see me… You can't see me… I'm just a passerby… a background NPC…"
Still lost in their awkward reminiscing, Mafuyu snapped back to reality at Kamishiro's muttering, and a devilish grin spread across her face.
"Maybe the past doesn't matter anymore, right?"
She waved her hand and snapped back into work mode.
"Over here, Onii Chan~"
!!!
Mafuyu-chan?!
Kamishiro Shiro looked at her in disbelief—they had years of "friendship"!
Shouldn't she be helping him chase these guys away with a broom right now?!
But all he got in return was a devilish grin and an internationally recognized hand gesture.
?︵?凸
Go to hell, scumbag!
Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
Seeing that gesture, Kamishiro Shiro realized: he was on his own now.
He prepared to make a break for it!
He didn't dare bet on whether those two idiots had recognized him yet. All he wanted now… was freedom!
Thud!
Kamishiro leapt up and dashed toward the door.
Iori and Kouhei looked at the strange figure running off, confused. Why was he so panicked? Were they that scary?
I can do it!
Staring at the entrance ahead, Kamishiro felt a glimmer of hope... and mourned the "brotherhood" they once had—yeah right!
Right now, he just wanted out!
But just as Kamishiro was about to succeed in his escape, a brown-haired figure appeared with a broom in hand.
Like a dragon striking—swoosh!
#poke
"AAAAAH! MY BUTT!!"
Once again fatally wounded, Kamishiro collapsed. Even his most treasured sunglasses fell off.
Looking at the telltale squint in his eyes, Iori and Kouhei finally realized who it was. A devilish grin spread across their faces.
"Gotcha, Kamishiro~"
"You bastards! Let me go! That hurts, you know! (*?????)"
Inside the Stile café…
Kamishiro Shiro was being pinned to a chair by two devils. The tearing pain in his rear made him want to trade in for a new butt.
"No can do. We finally caught you~"
"Stay put! You almost got away, you bastard!"
Iori and Kouhei even brought out a rope. If it weren't for his signature squinty eyes, this guy might've actually escaped.
Still, all thanks go to Mafuyu-chan.
"Thank you so much!"
"Hahaha, I… I'm Imura Kouhei. Can I know your name?"
Kouhei was visibly excited as he looked at the petite girl.
That energetic smile, her petite figure like a little sister—she's the perfect little sister-type maid! Absolutely flawless!!!
"Eh?"
Mafuyu was startled by Kouhei's intense enthusiasm and stepped back a little, but switched to work mode and greeted them energetically.
"No need to be so formal, Onii-chan! Just call me Mafuyu-chan~" She posed cutely with a peace sign next to her eye.
!!!
Seeing this, Kouhei had a full-on nosebleed. He trembled as he pulled out his wallet.
"Please take it…"
"Uhh… Onii-chan, this is a legit business, you know."
Pfft!
Another nosebleed. Kouhei smiled in satisfaction—this is exactly what he was hoping for!
Mafuyu's eye twitched. Now she understood why this guy could hang out with Kamishiro—they're both completely abnormal humans.
In fact, the most normal one here might be the average-looking guy…
Or so she thought—until she overheard Iori muttering to himself nearby:
"Let's extort 300,000 yen. Cancel all the IOUs. Otherwise, something bad might happen. Then have him organize—"
(???)
She immediately took back what she just thought. Did she just let a bunch of kidnappers in?!
Just as she was debating whether to help Kamishiro, the "caterpillar" tied to the chair started to speak.
"Damn it, Mafuyu-chan, how could you treat me like this? Have you forgotten the good times we had together?!"
At those words, Mafuyu's mind flashed to a dark room, pink handcuffs, and all kinds of lewd outfits.
（＞д＜）
She turned into a steaming engine. Clearly, this scumbag brought it upon himself.
Facing Kamishiro, Mafuyu coldly switched to "real life" mode—the kind reserved for when she saw cockroaches.
"I was just doing what any maid in the café should do."
"Since when can café maids block customers from leaving and force them to pay?! You were smiling before—why give me that look now?! (╥_╥)"
"You should be grateful I didn't send you to jail to pork cutlets. And why did I stop you?
Obviously because you didn't pay! It's perfectly reasonable for a maid to stop a customer who hasn't paid."
Mafuyu gestured to the water glass on the table.
Yup, just plain water.
Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
"You guys are running a scam! Why are you charging for water?!"
"We're a café, okay? We sell service. Charging for water is totally normal~"
(′-ι_-｀)
Normal. Too normal. If he were the boss, he'd charge people the moment they stepped through the door.
Except…
"I didn't even get any service, wuuuuuu!!!"
Before he could finish, he found himself unable to speak. Kamishiro looked in horror at the golden-haired figure in front of him—eyes glowing red.
Kouhei had grabbed Kamishiro's mouth to shut him up.
"Hey, Kamishiro-kun, just having Mafuyu-chan, such a cute little sister-type maid, stand in front of you—that's already service, right?"
(.;゜;:益:;゜;.)
Service, my ass! That "little sister" is probably older than you!
But there was no room to explain. Iori had already calculated the blackmail fee and walked over with a beaming smile.
At that moment…
Kamishiro Shiro trembled like a piglet staring at the butcher.
Stay back!!!
