I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 9: True Colors Of The Maid

“It’s crowded here.”

“Well, it’s a famous chain cafe after all.”

This place was Maidream, a maid cafe that opened about a year ago. It’s relatively close to our homes, so both Manabu and I often come here.

Originally, during the summer break, I planned to hang out here with cute maids and have lots of conversations. But due to intensive body training, I haven’t been here even once since I was reincarnated into this world.

“Itsuki.”

“Hm?”

“Keisuke isn’t coming, is he?”

“Ah, he’s probably tired from being stared at so much at school.”

“I wanted the three of us to come together.”

“Well, he’s doing his best in his own way, so I think there’s no need to rush.”

“I guess so.”

Keisuke is not fond of crowded places, so I’ve invited him to the maid cafe a few times, but he always declined.

“Master Itsuki! Master Manabu! Please come inside.”

Our turn had come, so we nodded to each other and entered.

“It’s been a while! I couldn’t see you during the summer break, and I was worried all this time… huh?”

The familiar maid who always maintained a smiling face, upon seeing us, widened her eyes and half-opened her mouth. Then, she opened her mouth in surprise.

“Uh, um… I’m sorry, but you’re not VIP Itsuki-sama and Manabu-sama who always use this place, are you?”

It seems like she mistook us for different people due to our transformation. So, I explained to the guide maid to clear up the misunderstanding.

“Um… that’s correct. We’ve been working on changing ourselves during the summer break…”

“Eh, eeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!”

After hearing my words, the maid opened her mouth wide and screamed. Because of that, people around us started looking at us.

Among them was the cheeky blonde maid we’re familiar with.

We were shown to our seats, and we sat down.

“Well, it’s always soothing here, right, Itsuki?”

“Yeah.”

“Just by watching the beautiful and cute maids working like this, it relieves the stress in my heart.”

“Just watching won’t fill your stomach. Let’s order something.”

“That’s true.”

Manabu smiled and looked at the menu. Then, the blonde maid we saw earlier approached us.

Normally, she would welcome us with a casual tone, saying something like “Thank you for coming,” in an un-maid-like manner. But this time, she kept glaring at us while tightly gripping her skirt. It might be my imagination, but her cheeks seemed a little red.

“Uh, um… Maririn-sama?”

Unable to endure it any longer, Manabu asked Maririn-chan. She seemed to snap out of it and put on her usual expression before replying to us.

“Wow, it’s amazing. It’s really Itsuki-chi and Manabu-chi.”

“Y-yo… It’s been a while.”

I replied with an awkward smile, but from the perspective of the reincarnated me, it was our first meeting…

“Hmm..”

Maririn-chan placed her hand on her chin and stared into my eyes. I feel like I’m being scrutinized for some reason. Well, she’s a bit of an ‘S’ type, so I’ve heard that guys who enjoy being dominated consider such piercing gazes as rewards for coming here, but I don’t know how to react.

Seemingly teasing my confusion, she came closer to us, bent over slightly, and talked to us at eye level.

“Both of you look amazing. I was worried since we hadn’t met for so long, but seeing the handsome Itsuki-chi and Manabu-chi like this, I feel relieved.”

“N-No… I mean, I only changed because Itsuki guided me… I couldn’t have done it without him… He planned the workout routines and the makeover… I just followed his lead…”

“What are you saying? You put in the effort and sweat to change your appearance, right?”

Embarrassed, Manabu looked away and scratched the back of his head.

S-Stop it. I’m starting to feel embarrassed too…

“Haa… It’s all thanks to Itsuki-chi…”

Saying so, Marilene-chan lightly punched our chests like a mischievous imp and opened her mouth again.

“You did it! Hehe.”

“Wha!”

“Hey!”

Soft golden hair swaying, her emerald eyes reflecting our bewildered figures thoroughly. Moreover, the generously endowed chest, larger than the image in Kondo’s memory, accentuated its fullness due to the unique design of the maid outfit. Her slender wheat-colored legs peeking from the small skirt shamelessly displayed their beautiful shape, asserting her healthful attractiveness. She’s one of the most popular maids in this shop. Despite her slightly cheeky demeanor and using casual language, she elevates even that into a defining aspect of her personality. Her aura and skill at captivating people’s hearts could be considered among the best.

By the way, in the ‘Hypnotizing My Handsome Childhood Friend in Class and Stealing Him Away – Extra Edition,’ this girl gets messed up by me. It was truly spectacular to watch this little devil fall so thoroughly for the past, less-attractive me. It was a short story but left a profound impact.

As we gaped, staring at Maririn-chan, she seemed to become aware of our presence, lifted her hair in front, and then stood up.

“So, what will your orders be?”

“Uh, orders? Oh right, I’ll have the ‘Moe Moe Omelette.’ And you?”

“Oh, I’ll go with… I’ll also have the same as Itsuki!”

“Okay, two ‘Moe Moe Omelettes.’ Let’s make it a ‘Double Moe Moe Kyun’!”

“Yes! We’ve been waiting for Maririn-sama’s ‘Moe Moe Kyun’!”

Man, this guy is more otaku-ish than me.

Well, I’m the one who got this guy into anime and games… in my past life as Kondo.

Thinking so, I sent a warm glance towards Manabu as he passionately spoke to Maririn.

Maririn’s Side

“Hmm-hmm♫ I’m back~”

Singing a tune, a blonde girl in a school uniform entered her house from the front door. She took off her shoes and hurriedly entered the living room. In the living room, the usual person was sitting on the sofa, engrossed with his phone. The blonde girl frowned at him and spoke.

“Onii-chan… react if you’re here.”

“……”

“Why the long face? It’s funny. You shouldn’t look like you’ve lost a country just because things aren’t going well with Kanna-chan.”

“Shut up.”

“Hit a nerve?”

“Damn it…”

“Hehe~”

“With that kind of attitude, you seem to be in a very good mood.”

While humming, Hayama tried to probe his sister as she headed to the sink to wash her hands.

Hayama Maririn happily began talking to her brother.

“Because I found a super guy at work!”

“Oh really, cooler than me? The place you work is a maid café filled with creepy otaku, right?”

“Huh? What nonsense are you spouting? Disgusting. They’re definitely cooler than you. There are all kinds of people in the world.”

“But even if that’s true, you can’t exchange contacts with customers, can you?”

“Hehe! Well, I can.”

“Even if you did, I think the chances are high that he’s a total weirdo. Be careful.”

“Onii-chan… Well, I think you should change that hate speech-like way of talking. Someday, you’ll get kicked.”

“…Shut up! Don’t be cheeky just because you are my sister.”

“Okay, okay.”

His sister, Maririni, casually handled her brother and went into the sink. She recalled today’s events.

“Thank you for coming today! Even though you’ve become handsome, I’ll get mad if you don’t come.”

“Yes, Maririn-sama! I’ll do my best not to lose the VIP seat! Right, Itsuki?”

“Yeah, it was fun.”

At this pace, the two of them would leave. But Mariri’s objective hasn’t been fulfilled yet.

Therefore,

“Well then, Goshujin-sama, I’ll see… Oops!”

“Maririn-chan!?”

Deliberately stepping out of line, she stumbled towards Kondo. Kondo skillfully caught her as she fell.

“Are you okay?”

“Y-yeah… Sorry.”

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

The surrounding maids rushed over, bowing to Kondo and expressing their gratitude. As attention focused on his face, Marin quietly slipped a note with her LINE account into Kondo’s pocket.

*****

Checking her reflection in the sink mirror, Maririn smiled.

The firmness of Kondo’s muscles when he embraced her. Each time she recalled that sensation, it felt like an electric current flowing through her body. But this was not a bad sensation.

Changes achieved in just a month.

She knew well about his past self. That’s why she understood how hard Kondo had been working.

Instead of being satisfied with his current self and refusing to grow, he used his inadequacies as a foundation for improvement.

Maririn was still only a first-year high school student.

Yet, her slightly wheat-colored skin blushed with a sultry expression, licking her lips.

Sexy.
