Chapter 9: The Other Side of Chinatsu

Hearing Chinatsu's exclamation, Hachiman said:

"That's right, this is the maid café, which is not only the shop that otaku love deeply, but also the shop where you will work next."

"Let's observe the work of the maids and try to learn something."

After Hachiman finished speaking, he saw a maid come over with the menu and said:

"Host, this is the menu, you can take a look, today's recommended dish is the love poached egg set"

"What's in this love poached egg set," Yawata asked.

"Hmm~, there is an omelet rice, a glass of Qinglian juice and a photo with the maid in the store." The maid paused for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll order this, what do you want in Qianxia?" Hachiman asked.

"Eh~, it's the same as you"

"Alright, please take two servings of this set," Hachiman said, closing the menu.

"I see, master, please wait a moment." With that, the maid took the menu and left.

After the maid walked away, Hachiman asked Chinatsu:

"What? Did you learn anything? ”

"Uh~, it doesn't seem to be" Qianxia said after thinking for a while.

"Hmm~, how come? , you think carefully about the maid's actions just now," Hachiman said again.

"Uh~uh~," Chixia held her head with her hand, constantly recalling the maid's movements just now.

"Oh, I see, it's confidence and a smile," Chixia exclaimed.

"Well, yes, you finally got it"

"When communicating with us, she always looked me in the eyes, spoke without a trace of nervousness, and always had a smile on her face, which was very comforting." Hachiman explained.

"Hmm~, it seems to be true, it makes people feel like a spring breeze," Qianxia said in agreement.

"Biqi Gu-kun, how did you find this store?"

"I searched for a nearby maid café on the Internet and found that this shop has the highest rating, so I clicked in and took a look, and found that the environment of this shop is pleasant, the food is delicious, and the maid service attitude is good...... It's perfect for you to work part-time, and I happened to see that the store was hiring, so I brought you here," Yawata replied.

……

While Hachiman and Chinatsu were chatting, the food for the two was gradually served.

Just as Qianxia said, "I'm moving", the maid next to her suddenly asked:

"Excuse me, master, what kind of words do you need to write?"

"Hmm~ just write 'come on, work hard'" Hachiman replied expertly.

"Okay, then may I ask this master what you need to write," said the maid, turning her head towards Chinatsu.

"Uh~, I don't need it," Chixia said embarrassedly.

"Hey, Chixia, you might as well try it once, it's also a novel experience." Hachiman persuaded.

Looking at Hachiman's skillful appearance in front of him, Chixia couldn't help but complain in her heart:

"Why are you so skilled?"

"Eh~, okay, just write the sentence 'Go forward, change yourself'" In the end, Qianxia still agreed and said a few words.

However, the next action once again refreshed Qianxia's understanding.

"Yo~, yo~become delicious~ become delicious......" The maid repeated the sentence as she wrote down the words we had just spoken.

Looking at the slightly ashamed movement of the maid in front of her, Chinatsu blushed and asked Hachiman:

"What kind of action is this? How do you feel so ~ so ashamed! ”

"It's a kind of 'magic of love', and it's said to make the food more delicious, and it's also a skill that the maids of this shop can do." Hachiman replied.

"How is that possible! , how can the food become delicious because of one action" Chixia said in disbelief.

"Of course this is fake, this action is just to cater to the needs of the majority of otaku, and it can't make the food delicious, but only satisfies a spiritual desire of customers. You wouldn't really believe it, would you? Hachiman said speechlessly.

"Of course I ~ of course I don't believe it, so I said how can there be magic that makes food delicious?"

Seeing the slightly far-fetched retort of the girl in front of him, Hachiman silently added another "cute" attribute to the girl.

However, Hachiman did not break it, but said:

"That's good, then you have to learn this move slowly."

"Hey~, no, it's absolutely not okay." Chixia said with a desperate shake of her head.

"Then Chinatsu, do you still want to change yourself," Hachiman asked solemnly.

"Uh~but~ but ......" Chixia lowered her head and whispered.

"It's nothing, you can take your time, let's start by learning how to deal with people," Hachiman said.

"Okay~good~ Okay," Chixia reluctantly agreed.

……

After eating, Hachiman and Chinatsu found the store manager and explained their intentions.

"Okay, no problem, if it's a cute girl, I'll give you a warm welcome," the store manager said warmly.

"Thank you store manager, when can she come to work then?" Hachiman said.

"Hmm~, come over from six to eight o'clock every day." The store manager said.

"Eh~, store manager, it's a little unsafe to take the tram home alone at eight o'clock in Qianxia, can you just let her come over every weekend?" Hachiman suggested.

"Haha, don't be afraid, don't you have a boyfriend? Wouldn't you just come and pick her up every day? The store manager said with a smile.

"Male~male~boyfriend......" Chixia immediately blushed and fell straight to the back.

Hachiman's eyes were quick, and he immediately hugged Chinatsu and called:

"Hey, China, wake up! Don't get dizzy! ”

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, the store manager said embarrassedly:

"Could it be that I'm thinking wrong?"

"yes, come and help, store manager" After saying that, Hachiman hurriedly put Chinatsu on the chair.

After nearly 10 minutes of explanation between Hachiman and the store manager, Chixia finally returned to normal.

In the end, the store manager agreed to Hachiman's request, and Chinatsu only came to work on weekends, but she didn't have to look forward to the salary.

In this regard, both Hachiman and Chixia felt indifferent, after all, Chixia did not work for money.

……

After discussing it with the store manager, Hachiman looked at the time and found that it was only about half past one, so he said to Chinatsu next to him:

"It's too early to go back, let's take a stroll, do you have any places you want to go?"

"Hmm~ So, I suddenly want to go to a nearby bookstore to buy a book, and then I want to go to a music producer's sales party," Chixia said after thinking for a while.

"Well, okay, let's go buy the book you want."

With that, Hachiman took Chinatsu to the nearest bookstore.

……

In a few moments, Hachiman and Chinatsu were standing in front of a bookstore called Reading Books.

Seeing that Chinatsu was motionless, Hachiman reminded:

"Aren't you going in and buying books? I'll be waiting for you right here. ”

Hearing Hachiman's words, Chinatsu said embarrassedly:

"Can you go in with me, there seem to be a lot of people here......"

"Well, okay," Hachiman said helplessly.

As soon as he entered the bookstore, Hachiman saw Chinatsu's new side again, and saw that she was like a fish in the water, birds flying into the sky, and saplings carrying into the soil...... The face is relaxed and natural, and there is no usual tension at all.

After a while, Hachiman heard Chinatsu's surprised voice, "I finally bought it, but fortunately there are still a few copies left." ”

Seeing the book in Chinatsu's hand, Hachiman couldn't help but say:

"This is not Tatsuo Hori's famous work "The Wind Rises", I didn't expect you to buy this book."

Hearing Hachiman's words, Chixia said excitedly:

"Have you read this book too? How's that, is this book good? ”

"Well, I've read it, this book is very good, and the details of family and love are very delicate."

"That's right, this book reflects a spirit of 'trying your best to face the problem in front of you', which is very touching, especially when I see Setsuko, who is terminally ill, and in order not to worry about her illness in Jiro, who is thinking about her heart, she has been enduring her pain and hiding that she has already known about her illness with a flat attitude, I was really moved to cry"

"And ......"

Hearing Chinatsu's continuous words, Hachiman hurriedly interrupted:

"Chixia, let's talk about it later, aren't you going to attend a sales party? Is there a time? ”

"Oh, indeed, let's go quickly, and I'll talk to you about this book later."

Hearing that Chixia had finally given up her plan to make a "tirade", Hachiman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief......
