Part 3
After Noah and Kaori serve the customer.
Though the cafe was full, the atmosphere was peaceful. Many of the customers were relaxed and gentle. Though they were surprised by the cuteness of the new maids, they seemed to be watching over them kindly.
“I was worried about what a maid cafe would be like, but it’s a nice place with a warm atmosphere.”
Yukine nodded at Kaori, who breathed a sigh of relief between her work.
“Most of the customers who come here are regulars. Everyone is a nice person, so don’t worry.”
“Yes! …Oh, welcome, Master!”
As her nerves began to relax, Kaori’s natural charm began to show.
With a constant smile and a soft, refined voice, she captivated customer after customer with her hospitality.
Meanwhile, Noah was running around the floor with energy.
“Orya~~~!”
“Noah-chan, don’t overdo it. It’s okay to divide the work!”
“That would be a waste of time. I’m going to work hard and make a lot of money! Let’s go!”
Despite the concerns of the senior maids, she skillfully balanced the trays while taking care of the orders.
Yukine was also very impressed by the two maids’ hard work.
“This is even better than I expected. The customers are happy, and the store is saved.
Thanks to their efforts, the busy store began to slow down.
Noah looked at Kaori, who was serving customers, with a smile and a look of admiration.
“By the way, Kaori-san, you really have a lot of charisma. Everyone is completely mesmerized.”
It wasn’t just Kaori’s good looks that attracted people, but also her elegant manner and aura.
Noah watched Kaori with admiration when an idea suddenly popped into her head.
“Huh? Could this be a chance to make some money? Now is the time to use the knowledge I learned from the anime!”
Noah made a sign by hand, and when she saw that Kaori’s hands were free, she waved at her.
“Kaori-san, could you stand here for a moment?”
“Yes.”
Kaori stood on the small stage at the back of the floor, as Noah had told her to do.
Then Noah raised her voice and pointed at Kaori.
“Thank you for waiting; it’s time for the long-awaited photo shoot! A photo with a cute maid costs 500 yen each!”
“No-No-No-Noah-san!”
“Oh, I want a photo too!”
“Me too, me too!”
“Awawa, the line has formed so quickly!”
“Thanks for coming! By the way, Noah will take 20% of the fee as commission☆.”
People who want to have their picture taken with Kaori suddenly rush up to her.
“Um, can you make a heart shape with your hands?”
“Yes! Um, is it like this?”
“I want you to make a heart shape with your fingers!”
“A heart shape with my fingers? I’m sorry. Could you show me how to do that?”
The fact that Kaori was inexperienced in taking photos and was very polite to everyone made her even more popular, and the number of people who wanted to have their photos taken increased.
Sumimaru, who had been fully accepted as an AI robot, nodded his head with crossed arms.
“After all, Kaori’s charm is what attracts so many people-maru. That is what makes her a perfect pure princess-maru.”
In the end, all the customers in the shop had their pictures taken with Kaori.
“Phew, the line finally broke up… now I have to go back to my normal duties…”
Noah watched Kaori as she returned to the hall, feeling quite pleased with herself.
“Wow, we made a lot of money today, just like I thought Kaori-san would! Oh, by the way, I saw a service where they draw pictures on the omurice in anime! The price is high, and if Noah does it herself, I can take all the profits, fufu! All right, I’ll make a lot of money~!”
Noah made a new sign and held it up.
“Next up is Kyun Kyun Omurice Time! It’s 1,500 yen for a picture-drawn Omurice! The omurice comes with a ‘moe moe kyun♡’ service!”
“Wow, I’ll have the picture-drawn Omurice, please!”
“And I’ll have one too!”
The cheerful shouts captured the hearts of the customers, and the orders came in one by one.
“Thank you for waiting. This is the Kyun Kyun Omurice! Now Noah will draw a picture for you!”
Noah was humming a tune as she drew a picture on the top of the Omurice.
“Phew, it’s done! Look at this cute cat…”
“Kyaaa, what a cute piggy.♡”
“Huh?”
The customer’s eyes lit up as she looked at the four-legged animal with such a wonderful taste painted on the omu rice.
“I’ve never seen such a cute pig!”
“T-That’s right! Of course, it’s a fine Iberian pig! Heh!”
Sumimaru makes a comment to Noah, who is nervous and sits up straight.
“Noah, you have no artistic talent at all-Maru.”
“Shut up! …but I forgot something important! Then, to finish it off─it’s a burning, heart-fluttering finish!
“Kyaa, it’s so cute~♡.”
When Noah made a heart with his hand and winked, the female customers cheered.
The character pictures became very popular, and orders poured in.
“Excuse me, I’d like three omurices with pictures on them! I’ll eat them all!”
“And five more!”
“Sure, as you wish!”
Thanks to Kaori and Noah’s efforts, the cafe became even more lively.
Even Yukine, who was usually cool, was full of praise.
“Kaori’s customer service is perfect, and Noah has a talent for business. I’d like them to stay on as part-time employees.”
In the middle of all this, Kaori, who was serving the customers with all her heart, looked back at Sumimaru.
“Um, Sumimaru-san, is it really okay to do this? My mission as a magical girl is…”
“Ufufufu, this angle is the best-maru!”
What jumped into Kaori’s field of vision was the sight of Sumimaru lying on the ground and trying to look up her maid’s skirt.
“What are you doing, Sumimaru-san!?”
“What? I’m not doing anything-maru! I’m just cleaning the floor so that Kaori and Noah can work as maids in comfort-maru~, ufufufu! As for Debipachi, I’m keeping a close eye on her, so don’t worry-maru! Besides, making lots of people happy is also an important job for magical girls-maru!”
“I-I see!”
“Well, that was just a convenient excuse I made up-maru!”
“A convenient excuse?!”
“Well, I’ll keep polishing the floor until it’s sparkling clean-maru! The cleaning fairy Sumimaru-sama is on duty-maru, ufufufu~♪”
“I-I hope I don’t cause any trouble for the maids or the customers…”
Despite her lingering uneasiness, Kaori ran around the floor.
“Oh, what kindness and hospitality!
“It’s been a long time since I felt this happy, I’m so moved I’m crying…”
The sight of her working so hard, smiling at each and every customer, even moved some of the customers to tears.
“As expected from Kaori-san, she’s an impressive young lady! There’s even a line outside the building!”
“Eh?!”
Yukine nodded.
“This is the first time something like this has happened. The manager is overjoyed and wants us to continue.”
“But how on earth did this happen? It suddenly became too much, didn’t it?”
Yukine shows the screen of her smartphone.
“Look at this. It’s going viral on social networking sites.”
“I-is this me?!”
On social networking sites, people were talking about Kaori at work.
Since it was okay to take pictures in this maid cafe, customers posted videos and pictures of Kaori, and word spread quickly.
“Hurray! Just as we expected from you, Kaori-san! Now we’ll have more customers, and the sales will be pouring in! I can’t wait to get my reward!”
As they did so, word of mouth spread, and the number of customers increased.
“Wow, we’re getting busy! Let’s make more money!”
“Ugh, I’m starting to forget our original purpose…!”
Despite these concerns, the maids were busy running the popular floor.
A male customer, who had been enjoying himself until then, called out to a maid who happened to be passing by.
“Excuse me, I would like to order some Omurice.”
“Yes, of course.”
“And a drink too…─Ugh!?”
Halfway through his sentence, the customer collapsed.
“C-Customer? What’s happening?”
The maid was worried, but the customer slowly raised his head.
His dull eyes glowed eerily.
Then,
“Oh, you are such a sweet maid. Come sit on my lap.”
He suddenly started making unreasonable demands of the maid.
“Huh? I’m sorry, but that kind of service is a little…”
“Then let me touch your thighs. Just a little, that’s all.”
“P-please stop! What’s gotten into you all of a sudden…?”
The maid was startled and stepped back.
The customer suddenly became angry.
“Tsk, what’s the matter? Can’t you do what the customer says?!”
“Kyaaa!?”
“I’m going to wreck this place!”
The man shouted, picked up a chair, and began to rage.
“Noooo!?”
“Please calm down, dear customer!”
“Everyone, go away.”
Yukine calmly led the maids and other customers away.
The man continued to act out.
“If you’re a maid, you should do as I say! Open the omurice and feed it to me! Give me a lap pillow! Clean my ears for me~!”
Kaori and Noah were stunned.
“W-what on earth is this…?”
“That customer was so nice just a moment ago, but then he suddenly started acting out…!”
Yukine was also surprised by the customer’s sudden change.
“This is strange. That person is a regular customer and is always very calm and friendly. He would never do something like this.”
“Ugh, a lap pillow~…”
The male customer’s vacant eyes wandered around the hall and suddenly caught sight of Kaori.
“Ooooooh, you there!”
“Y-yes!?”
“I’ve been mesmerized ever since I first saw you, and I’ve wanted you to serve me for a long time! Give me a lap pillow~!”
“Kyaaaaaa!?”
Kaori screams as the man runs towards her.
However, on the path the man is heading down, Sumimaru is crawling on the ground.
“Ufufufu, I can almost see the Peach Blossom Paradise-maru. Pink is nice, but white is also nice-maru… (squish!) Bueeeeeeehhh?!”
“Ugyaaaaaaaa!?”
BANG!!!
The man who stepped on the Sumimaru and slipped lost his balance and fell spectacularly, taking the chair with him.
“Oh no! It’s a disaster! Or rather, Sumimaru, what the hell are you doing in the middle of this disaster?”
“I didn’t do anything wrong-maru! I was just trying to take care of the maids’ skirts while cleaning the floor as their guardian fairy-maru!”
“Get out of here, you perverted squid!”
“U-ugh…”
The man writhed in agony after being hit all over his body.
Kaori’s eyes widened when she saw the man’s back.
“Ah, that’s Debipachi-san!”
A black octopus was attached to the customer’s back.
