Part 5
“Wow, that was a surprise!”
Yukine said that after she had changed back into her temporary maid outfit, she returned to the floor.
Kaori and Noah also undid their transformations and stepped back onto the restaurant floor as temporary maids.
The staff rushed over to them.
“Ah, where have you two been? There was a magical girl here a while ago, and she fought an octopus, and it was amazing!”
“They were really cute. I wish I could have asked them their names.”
“E-eehh? I-is that really what happened?”
“Kaori-san, you’re not very good at acting…”
Kaori breathed a sigh of relief as she looked around the shop, which was still buzzing with talk of the magical girls.
“I’m glad; it seems like they didn’t find out our true identities.”
“Kaori.”
When she turned around to hear her name, Yukine was standing there.
She stares at Kaori’s face with eyes that show no emotion.
“Yukine-san, is something wrong?”
“…That magical girl looked like Kaori.”
“What? N-n-no way! It must be your imagination! There’s no way I would wear something so embarrassing!”
“Hmm. Now that you mention it, I couldn’t wear something that embarrassing either. Kaori probably wouldn’t either.”
“U-ugh~…!”
Kaori could only blush and say nothing.
Meanwhile, the customer who had been parasitized by Debipachi apologized profusely.
“I’m so sorry! I don’t remember when I was being rude… Why did I do that…?”
“It’s okay, but are you hurt?”
“I don’t really understand, but I guess it was because of that octopus, right?”
“As a fellow customer, I know how you feel. I’d like a maid to give me a lap pillow.”
“Yes, we all know that you’re a good person. Please come again without worrying.”
“Uu, thank you very much~!!!”
The customer who had been possessed by Debipachi was obviously acting strangely, so it was decided not to make a big deal out of it, and he even ended up deepening his friendship with the maids and other customers.
The maid cafe resumed business without a hitch, and by the evening, the temporary part-time staff had finished their shifts.
“Thank you for today. This is from the manager. Your payment for today.”
“Whaaaaat! Now I can finally eat something other than bean sprouts~!”
Noah jumped up and down with joy as she received her payment from Yukine.
Kaori bowed to Yukine.
“Thank you for your help. Good luck with your part-time job.”
“Hmm. If you feel like it, come back to work. I’ll wait for you.”
“Yes.”
“Bye!”
After leaving the maid cafe, they made their way home.
“Still, the way you were able to purify the Debipachi so easily… you really are amazing, Kaori-san!”
“Ah, thank you. But really, there are all kinds of Debipachi out there. I never thought they would possess people…”
“Yes! This kind of Debipachi is very popular because it becomes even tastier when dried!”
Next to Noah, who is in a good mood, Sumimaru rubs his tentacles together.
“Even if you eat it normally, it’s delicious, but it’s best when you drink it with Prism Water-maru!”
“What is Prism Water? Is it like the alcohol from the Magic Kingdom?”
“It’s not alcohol-maru! It’s magic water that makes you feel a little cheerful and improves your blood circulation and mood when you drink it-maru!”
“Well, is it like alcohol…?”
“Anyway, this Debipachi is selling really well in the Magic Kingdom~! We’re making a lot of money today~~!”
“So we’re one step closer to paying off our debt-maru~!”
“That’s good. But… I think Yukine-san knows my true identity…”
Sumimaru sticks out her tongue.
“Hmm. To be honest, I don’t know how effective the recognition-blocking function is-maru…☆”
“What?!”
“Don’t worry, even if they find out who you really are, it will only make Kaori-san more attractive!”
“Th-that’s not good…!”
Kaori’s eyes fill with tears, but Noah is completely unconcerned and rubs her cheeks against the envelope containing her part-time job pay.
“Heehee, but more than that, I worked really hard today, so I’m looking forward to seeing how much is in there! I’m sure it’s a lot of money! I think I’ll go out and buy some eel or something; I want to eat cake, too~.”
Noah excitedly turned the envelope over, and a 10 yen coin rolled out.
“Eh?”
She shook the envelope upside down, but nothing else came out.
“Is that all there is?”
“I only got a 10 yen coin, too…”
Next to Noah, who was staring in disbelief, Kaori also tilted her head.
“W-w-w-why is that? The photo shoot and the drawing of the omurice were so popular…!”
Kaori suddenly noticed a note inside the envelope.
“Ara, there’s a note inside. Well… ‘The floor got sticky from the mucus that the squid-shaped robot you brought in spewed, so I’ve deducted the cost from your pay. From the manager…”
“…What?!”
Behind the stunned Noah, Sumimaru sticks out his tongue.
“Speaking of which, I think I spilled some mucus while cleaning the floor too enthusiastically-maru.”
“Uhyaaaaaa, what are you doing?!”
Noah clenched his fist and yelled.
“Aaaaah, I can’t even buy bean sprouts now! I worked so hard, but it was all for nothing! Uhiiiiii!”
“No-Noah-san, please cheer up… that’s right, you’ll soon be able to eat your fill!”
“Huh?”
Kaori told Noah, who looked confused, with a smile.
“Actually, the enrollment procedures are finished! You can go to Ousei Academy after the holidays!”
“Wow, you did it! Now Noah can also make his debut as a student! But how will I be able to eat a lot when I go to school?”
“The cafeteria at Ousei Academy has a very large menu, but the student lunch is free!”
“Wow! Ousei Academy is amazing! Thank you, Kaori-san, or rather, Kaori-sama! I’ll lick your shoes~~~!”
“No-Noah-san, that’s really enough now~!”
Noah forgets how depressed she was just a moment ago and starts jumping.
“Yay, I’m looking forward to the daily lunch special! I can’t wait until the day after tomorrow!”
“Fufufu. It’ll be fun to see what school life will be like.”
“I’m also so happy that I can legally break into the school and do whatever I want with the high school girls!”
“Whoa, don’t plan anything naughty! Perverted behaviour is strictly forbidden!”
The lively voices echo through the city at dusk.
Thus, Kaori’s first official mission as a magical girl and her hectic day as a temporary maid finally came to an end.
