Chapter 29: Reunion
I didn't expect the commander to really open a maid café, the name is extremely public, of course, it is understandable to use Griffin's name to attract business, after all, when people think of Griffin, they will think of the famous security contracting company, and then they will think of cute tactical girls......
"Alright, you guys go in, and I'll give you a special discount for free. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info," the commander laughed.
"What about you?"
"I just went in through the back door of the kitchen to avoid causing unnecessary commotion. The commander bowed slightly, and turned to the alley behind the street, "Please enjoy!"
Patrick looked up at the sign again, and the atmosphere that could be felt through the window made it as difficult to walk into the store as it was to enter the safe zone.
"Welcome~ Is it two?" asked the maid at the door of the café.
It's a humanoid you've never seen before......
"Huh, shouldn't it be three?" asked Kira.
"Miss Somi is also the master's maid~" The maid replied.
Kira was stunned for a moment, then blushing to the base of her ears, and Sommy's face was a little flushed.
Scold...... I really envy these two people.
"Yes, we're two. Patrick said he thought it would be better to get in as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, two masters," the Kanban Niang apologized as she pushed open the door, "There seems to be no place inside, if the two masters don't mind, can they share a table with someone else?"
"Whatever you want. ”
"Yes, please enjoy, master~"
Wrong...... Not that way.
"Welcome light, light, light ......" As soon as I entered the door, the maid waitress at the cash register seemed to be stuck. Patrick looked over and could still recognize the figure despite wearing a pair of glasses and a double ponytail tied with a red ribbon.
"Pa, Pa, Patrick?"
"What's wrong?WA2000. ”
"You, you...... Are you still alive?" it is never boring to look at WA2000's flushed cheeks and the look of being overwhelmed. Customers who were closer to them also watched their conversations as if they had discovered a new continent.
"Ahh
Patrick shuddered visibly at the sight of the WA2000.
"Yes, I'm sorry, master. WA2000 bowed slightly and apologized. A long-haired maid walked up and bowed to Patrick and Kira with a smile on her face.
"Little girl Haruta, come and lead the way for the two masters," Haruta held out a hand, "This way, please." ”
She led them to a position against the wall, where there was a four-person booth, which was occupied by a fat man with glasses alone.
"Master, can you let these two masters dine together?" said Haruta smiled.
"Of course," the fat man looked pleased, "since it's Haruta-chan's commission, I'll definitely accept it." ”
"Thank you very much!
The fat man is very satisfied. I didn't expect the maid café to have such a convenient place, should it be said that it captured the psychology of a certain group of people?Patrick wanted to ask about madness, but it would seem strange to suddenly speak into the air, so he didn't say it. It was that he didn't make any comments, which made Patrick feel strange.
"Two masters, please look, this is a menu~"
"So, Somi?" said Kira, looking in surprise at the waiter who walked up to their table.
At this time, Suomi has changed into her maid outfit, the main color is still pure blue and white, the very cute hairpin and white gloves are retained, and the sequins on the skirt also make the overall image improved.
"Eh, Suomi-chan is pretty today...... I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been?" the fat man asked.
"I'm going on a date with this master~" Somi laughed mischievously, so scared that Kira almost spit out all the water she had drunk.
"Really, really!" the fat man looked untouchable, and then glared at Kira with a very resentful expression.
Alas...... These two are really ......
Looking around, Patrick also saw quite a few humanoids, including G36, Ithaca, and other figures he knew, as well as tactical humanoids he had never seen before but he knew the model. He didn't know if they had seen him, but they were so busy with their work that they didn't notice.
"So what do you want from the two masters?"
"I want an omelet rice with 'new life' written on it," Kira nodded with gusto, "and a cup of ranch milk tea." ”
"I'm ......," Patrick pondered for a moment, "I don't have anything to think about, so I don't need to do it for now." ”
"How can that work!" The fat man who shared the table had another opinion, "You must order something when you come to the maid café, otherwise it will be for nothing!"
Is...... It's amazing that there will be customers to help with the publicity...... No, should it be said that it is forced consumption?
"In that case, why don't you have a cup of our recommended iced coffee?"
"Well, remember not to put sugar. ”
"I see~"
Patrick let out a long sigh of relief. The environment here reminded him of the past, reminiscing about the short but comfortable time he had in the S09 Sector Headquarters.
He also thought that if one day, when the world no longer needed him, he would be able to live a long life quietly. Of course, it's not that the world needs him now, it's just his wishful thinking.
"This is your first time at the maid's café, aren't you?" asked the fat man.
"Yes, it's the first time," Kira said, "but I've been looking forward to it for a long time. ”
"Did Suomi-chan introduce you here?"
"Uh, yes......"
"It's so good to have such a girlfriend, although it is humanoid, you are still very happy. ”
Doll...... Is it ......
"Yes! Hosts' meals!" a very short humanoid with a tray on his head brought their food over, "Please use it slowly~"
"Now, tell me more about Suomi-chan, okay?"
Patrick stared at the iced coffee, the light brown hue was indeed tempting. He didn't bother to listen to Kira's boring conversation with the fat man, symbolically stirred the coffee, and tasted it.
Well...... In terms of texture and taste alone, it is superb. However, Patrick still felt that it was too sweet, despite the lack of sugar.
Suddenly, the lights in the café went out, leaving only the colorful stage lights shining from Patrick's back. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is even more ambiguous, and it seems to have transformed from a maid café into a nightclub.
Commander...... You're going too far.
"Oh~~~What day is it?It's coming, it's coming!One of the signboards of our store!" The fat man began to get excited.
"In the end...... What is it?" asked Kira, a little stiffly, to suit the stranger's taste.
Looking at the swirl of coffee, Patrick was unmoved.
"Look, listen, and you'll love it, I promise!"
"Oh, what a ......"
The lights began to gather, a beam of light illuminated the center of the stage, and Patrick heard the sound of the stereo turning on, followed by an inhale.
"Ready~"
As if his heart had been shocked, Patrick froze there, holding his coffee up in the air, pausing for a few seconds before putting it down again.
A line of singing is sung along with the accompaniment, without any prelude.
The head went blank, Patrick's head went blank. He didn't dare look back.
"You know what? This maid café is famous not only because of its name, but also because of its excellent service and quality. ”
That's what the fat man introduced to Kira in song.
"In the café called Griffin, there is a little maid who has been singing in search of her master. She searched and sang until the day she found it. But unfortunately, I tried too, and she didn't recognize me as the owner......"
Patrick suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Uh...... Friend, are you okay? Yes, don't you think it's amazing?"
"Hey, Patrick, what's wrong with you?"
He turned around, and the lights on the stage were so dazzling that he almost burst into tears in the darkness.
"Friend, sit down, don't get in the way of others!"
Step by step, he walked towards the stage, each step heavy and slow.
"Friend, I still want to see it!"
At the edge of the light, at the junction of light and shadow, a pair of orange eyes glowed faintly.
The music on stage was still there, but the singing came to an abrupt end.
"Master?"
He saw clearly, he saw clearly. A girl in a white dress, a pair of energetic dog ears.
"Master, is that you?"
The audience fell silent, and their eyes moved away from the girl on the stage, looking for the person the girl was pointing to in the darkness.
“G41......”
Patrick couldn't help but say the name.
Tears flowed down the girl's blue eyes like a flood of water. She had long forgotten where she was, and she just flew over and stretched out her hands, trying to hug her master she hadn't seen for ten years.
Since then, the romantic legend of Griffin's maid café has come to an end.
