Chapter 122 Festival Act, With Sister and Lover, Part Five
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Me too. But that’s okay then”
While Riko is discouraged, Aika seems to have changed her mind
She smiles at Riko and says a few words
”If we can’t handle it now, we can slap her when the chance comes. With a lot of pain”
”…ahaha. That’s pretty extreme for Aika”
These things seemed to have put Riko in a better mood
The blonde girl smiled and nodded
The remaining members, Suzu and Hana, also agreed with the policy of remaining quiet
”I think we should leave it alone, too. I don’t want to get involved in any fights or conspiracies as much as possible”
”Well, yes. I mean, to be honest, I’m too busy with the school festival right now”
If they are going to do something, now is not the time
That’s how they settled the matter
…Shortly, if they are going to make Kaede their enemy, they will put the matter on the back burner, including whether there is a real way to win the war
After settling the discussion, the group gets ready to leave in a hurry
As expected, there was hardly any time left
So, Suzu will tell Yotsuba about what they have just discussed. For the future, it is necessary for her to know the details
”By the way, Mishuku-san, it would be nice if you could visit us at the maid cafe in 1-C”
”Oh, yes. It would be a good chance to see “Chisato-chan” for the first time in a while.”
Hana, who has a tendency to treat Chihiro and “Chisato” as separate personalities, replied in this way
”But today, “Chisato-chan” is so busy that she may not have time to take her time to take care of me…”
”?”
Chihiro tilted his head, not understanding the meaning of her words
* * *
As it turned out, Hana was right
For some reason, Chihiro, or “Chisato”, who was on his first shift that day, had a much larger crowd than he had yesterday
”Oh, is that Chisato-chan?”
”She sure is cute”
”Don’t you think she looks familiar?”
”Hmm, I think I’ve seen her somewhere before”
Apparently, this was the effect of the Miss Contest
Chihiro, who was registered as a mysterious female student “Chisato” in the Miss Contest, made a strong impression on those who saw it. And the rumor seems to have spread by word of mouth
How many of them are made up by Maisaka and other students of 1-C, he does not dare to consider
He also does not consider how many of them are aware of his true identity
Anyway
The cafe was busy from the moment it opened, with curious students (mostly boys) who wanted to see the mystery maids in person, along with students who were looking for other maids such as Aika and Maria
”Hey, where do you live?”
”Hey, do you want to go out somewhere sometime?”
”Tell me your e-mail address”
”I’m sorry, Master, but we don’t do that kind of thing”
Chihiro responds to all the men who try to make eyes at him in a casual manner. After all, he is a man inside, so he does not hesitate to treat the same gender with disdain
However, he does accept photo shoots and normal conversation because it is part of his job
It was also necessary for him to smile and pose, and to react to their not-so-funny stories
”This is the third time I’ve been here since yesterday. I’ve only ordered juice every time”
”Thank you for visiting us again and again. We would be happy if you could order something from the food menu as well”
As he says this, Hana finally arrived as well
Still, he did not have much time to talk with her, but he did agree to have his picture taken with her. However――
”Chisato-chan. Please throw me a kiss right there”
”Eh? N-no, my lady. That’s…”
”Is it no good?”
The air was so thick that he couldn’t resist
He also had an appointment with Hana, so reluctantly, he endured his embarrassment and gave her a kiss
Still, he was too shy to care whether his actions were cute or not
Nevertheless, the guests who were present at the party were very excited
”Thank you very much. I was able to get a good shot”
”I’m glad you like it”
Hana, with an unusually big smile on her face, replied with her soul on the verge of collapse
”Yes. I will take good care of this video”
”Video?”
Chihiro had no choice but to ask her not to show it to others, even though he knew it was embarrassing to do so
On the other side, Chihiro is also annoyed by a “bad bug” that tried to seduce Aika
”Do you have a boyfriend, Aika?”
”From my view, I don’t think you have a boyfriend, you seem to be too shy. Don’t you?”
”Nope, I have a boyfriend. And I hope we can be together forever”
Howeve, Aika herself dealt with the man who was obviously trying to pick up on her, so Chihiro didn’t have to take a turn
”Do you have any pictures?”
”No, but…oh, he bought this bracelet for me. We went out together and spent hours to find it”
”Oh…yeah”
”You really have a boyfriend, huh?”
And so, it goes
By the end of the shift, he was quite exhausted
Chihiro sat down on the floor when he arrived at the changing room, leaving the cafe in the hands of Riko and the others who had come in as replacements
”…I’m tired”
”Thanks for your hard work, Izumi-kun”
”You were very popular. You really have a shot at the miss contest, don’t you?”
That’s what his classmates said to him
Even they have heard about the miss content
”I don’t really want to go for it…”
”Even so, it’s a popularity contest. Whether you win a prize or not depends on your popularity”
”It will be announced at 12:00 noon, right? So, you’ll know the results of the preliminary round when you work your next shift”
The deadline for voting in the preliminary round was 30 minutes before the announcement, or 11:30
If Chihiro is among the top five, he will have to participate in the final round, which will be held around 15:00. The final round will be held at the same time as the preliminary round, and the top five will be chosen by the finalists. Fortunately or unfortunately, he has neither a shift at the maid cafe nor a shift at the student council, so his schedule is fine
”Fufu. Shouldn’t you prepare for the performance, just in case?”
Aika smiles at Chihiro in a kind of happy way
