"Yingcao and I are not people of the same world... Why, it's a bit fantastical to think about it... However, it is better to believe that there is something than not... Forget it, wait until the Tianyang Festival is over and ask Yingcao, but before that, you have to solve Shiori first~" Meijiu thought for a while, and then showed an ambiguous smile, looking forward to the arrival of the Tianyang Festival more and more!

。 Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"--Now, the 25th, Tiangong City Higher High School Joint Cultural Festival and Tianyang Festival have officially begun!"

When the announcement of the executive chairman was heard from the loudspeakers installed on the ceiling, the various exhibition halls were filled with applause and cheers.

Saturday, September 23. The long-awaited day for high school students in Tiangong City is the day when the Tianyang Festival begins.

Buildings 1 and 2, which are close to the front, are mainly food and beverage simulation shops, while buildings 3 and 4 are equipped with a variety of research presentations and haunted houses.

At present, Shido is located in Building No. 2, and there is a food stall that is an important base for deciding whether or not you can win at Zen High School.

However, Shido, who was supposed to stay in an important base, now puts his hands on the ground and does an OTL bend while exuding a gloomy atmosphere from all over his body.

"Oh, oh, oh......"

The reason is very simple.

Shido slowly raised his head and looked around. There are various mock shops open around. Takoyaki, crepes, and even the special rice dumplings that can be heard selling in the distance.

However, Shidao's winning strategy for coming to Zen High School was not to eat dry rice.

Shido turned his head behind him and looked at the sign standing behind him.

"MAID CAFÉ ☆RAIZEN~"

Repeat the name in your head, then cast your gaze underneath it. There,

"Oooh! Swinging back and forth!"

Grab the corner of the apron with a lot of lace and make it flutter back and forth.

"Poof, Kuku...... Scholars, scholars, even if you dress up as a woman, it's quite suitable!"

"Misstepping. I can't help but want to laugh!"

After seeing Shidao's appearance, he kept snickering.,Yakuya and Yuxian, who are dressed in the same way as Shika.。

After making this confirmation, Shido looked further down and looked at his own clothes.

- That is, the same style of clothes as the Ten Fragrance and the Eight Dance Sisters.

A long dress in a color between snow blue and black, and a pure white apron with dense lace. In addition, a flower headband decorated with cute trim is worn on the head.

To put it simply, it's a very standard maid dress.

"Why...... It's going to be like this......"

Even Shido didn't expect that he would have a cosplay maid one day. I always felt like something important in my heart as a boy was defiled, and I sank my shoulders again.

At this moment, someone gently placed his hand on Shidao's shoulder. ――It's a cloth (maid outfit version~). Behind her, you can see Mai and Meiyi, who are also dressed in the same way.

"What's the matter, Kanban Niang. It's almost time for a guest to come, so hurry up and get up!"

As he spoke, he gave Shidao a thumbs up. Shido staggered to his feet.

“…… That, this, isn't it a maid café?"

"yes. Isn't that great? If you want to win Gentian Temple, this is the only way!"

"Speaking of which...... I didn't expect to be able to get permission, this kind of thing~"

Although the scale of the Tenyang Festival is large, it is only a cultural festival of high schools. It looks free, but in fact there are all kinds of constraints, and if it is judged to be "something that is not suitable for students", it will not be allowed at all. Therefore, there will be more subtle standards for a store like this that focuses on picking up customers.

They must have known that too, and she shrugged her shoulders as she grimaced.

"So we took a lot of effort to grasp the bottom line. After all, it was originally proposed to be made in the style of a nightclub lady!"

"Poof!?"

Shido couldn't help but squirt out. Mai Mai laughed loudly.

"At that time, I was really scolded severely—"

"Uh-huh. That's why our real goal, the maid café, has become easier to pass the audit!"

"Well, I was trying to make the skirt shorter—"

As she spoke, Meiyi drew a line on Shidao's thigh on the basis of her skirt. Shido quickly pressed his skirt with a grim face. Seeing Shidao's appearance, Mai Mai Meiyi laughed again.

"Well, Shiori-chan, you stage performers are standing at the entrance to solicit guests. The waiters who work inside have already taught them how to receive customers, so you can greet them in peace!"

"Yes, that's right. Make it as spectacular as possible. It's like a queue to buy train tickets during the Spring Festival of the Celestial Empire!"

"Mmmmmm, innocent and peerless beautiful girls, twin girls with opposite personalities, and slender and weak women, so that the man who doesn't take the bait doesn't like mature women, then he must be a dead!"

“…………“

I don't know when I've been classified as weak. Shidao smiled bitterly with a complicated state of mind.

At that moment, Shido tilted his head to the side and made a "huh?" sound.

"Speaking of which...... Origami, what's wrong with her?"

That's right. When all the other stage performers got together to cosplay the maid, only origami didn't appear there.

"Well, Iris-san, I haven't seen her since the morning—"

"The place she's in charge of should also be a maid's café......"

"Could it be that day coming?"

After Meiyi finished speaking, the three of them burst into laughter. Shido didn't know what to do, so he smiled awkwardly.

"I think I'll be here in a while, though. As long as I catch the stage performance, I won't say anything. “

"Yes, yes. “

As Shido scratched his cheek in reply, a large number of footsteps rang out from the direction of the front entrance. It seems to be a guest...... It's wrong, it's the "master" and the "eldest lady" who have come over.

"Well, then, I'll leave it to you—!"

"I'll call you when the time comes—"

"Ah, everyone, I'll leave it to Shiori-chan here, so be sure to follow her instructions-"

After saying that, Mai Mai Mii slipped into the store.

"Huh...... Wait—"

Those who remained in front of the shop were Shido, Shido, Shika, the Hachimai sisters, and ten other handmaidens carefully selected from each class. Then everyone turned their attention to Shido, who had just been appointed as the captain of the pick-up team.

"That, that ......"

Shidao showed a look of embarrassment and many drops of sweat broke out on his cheeks, and then after clearing his throat,

"That's it, that, everyone, please do it!"

"Yes!"

In response to Shidao's voice, the maids and ladies saluted together. It is a very beautiful salute to put your hands together respectfully in front of yourself. Looks like they've been trained well, too. …… Well, there are people inside who raise their fists and shout "oh-!" like the Ten Fragrance and the Eight Dance Sisters.

Even so, the decisive battle has begun. Groups of guests with guidebooks in their hands entered the venue.

The guests are also varied. There are people who look like parents of students, students who don't have a job for the time being, college students who are obviously trying to pick up students, and junior high school students who take the opportunity to decide which high school they want to attend. Among them, there are also die-hard fans wearing embroidered uniforms with "Miku Family Guards" embroidered on the back. It seems that they rushed over to hear the information that the legendary idol was going to perform on stage.

At the same time, the war for customers is also heating up. The energetic shouts came one after another, and the whole venue was filled with vitality at once.

"Come on, come in, it's fun inside!

"Kuku...... Ahead of this is the furnace of hell. Can mortals endure it?"

"Informed. Here's the menu and its display. “

To the right of the maid café entrance, Toka shouted energetically (though not quite like a maid), and on the left was Yakuya saying something that she didn't know if she was soliciting or driving away customers, and next to her was Yuzuki holding a menu placard. Even with three propagandists like them, there was a steady stream of customers entering the maid café.

"Oooh...... Isn't that a thriving business!"

Indeed, even compared to the surrounding stores, it can be regarded as a good start. At least among the shops that Shido can see, there is no store that can match the popularity of the maid café.

That's when it happened.

“…… Looks like it's going well, little serge."

I don't know how long it took to open the store, but I heard a little sleepy from the front.

The voice is familiar. It's the analyst of Ratatoskr, and the voice of the deputy head teacher of Shido's class, and the voice of the village rain rein.

"Ahh

Just as Shidao naturally turned around, his body froze.

"Uh... Yingcao and Asuna. "Well, there are two other people standing next to Ling Yin, namely Yingcao and Asuna.

"Yo, I've heard about it, Shiori-chan~I'm here to help you~" Yingcao deliberately dragged out her tone and said like this.

"Although I don't appreciate this method, I'll help Shidao-kun as well. Asuna nodded, equally seriously.

The whole person has fallen into gray Shidao and has nothing to say.

"Well, but I won't wear such a shameful suit~ Asuna and I will be in charge of the kitchen~" Yingcao said with a smile.

"That's a great thank you. "Asuna's culinary skills are put in RB, so she should be able to select a senior chef... At the level of Shidao's half-ass, he has obtained a junior chef qualification certificate in RB... If Asuna is allowed to come, the effect will be very significant, although most of the guests are attracted by the maid, but there are not some more picky guests.

"Ahh Anyway, I'm still going to wear a maid's costume..... "Thinking of this, Shidao, who was in a good mood just now, fell into a gray state.

"Come on~Shiori-chan~" Yingcao patted Shidao on the shoulder, and then took Asuna's hand and ran into the back kitchen happily.

"Alas. "A heavy sigh that I have never had in my life~
