When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 34: Deco-Chu With Snow White At The Maid Cafe.

Deco-Chu With Snow White At The Maid Cafe

“Alright, senpai, take your time.”

With a smile, Miki, who had guided us to our seats, left.

As she departed, she twirled around, showcasing her maid outfit. The short skirt fluttered, revealing a glimpse, but it seemed like she was wearing something appropriate underneath.

I hadn’t been to many maid cafes besides this one, but I knew that maid outfits tended to have high exposure, probably to appeal to the male clientele.

“Do you like maid cafes, Taka-kun?”

“Well, I might.”

Since Himeno sat beside me instead of across the table, I answered her question.

It’s rare for guys not to like maid cafes. After all, if you dislike maids, you wouldn’t come to such a place.

“So, do you like them? Those outfits are a bit too revealing, don’t you think?”

Speaking in a hushed voice, Himeno blushed as she observed the maids in the hall.

The fact that she was watching so intently suggested she might be interested in trying one on herself. Maid outfits were cute, so it wasn’t unusual to want to wear one.

“Shall we order something?”

“Yes.”

I called out to Himeno, who seemed fascinated by the maids, and picked up the menu on the table.

“Huh? Isn’t it expensive?”

Peeking into the menu, Himeno widened her eyes in surprise.

The prices did take me aback the first time I came.

“Well, it’s a maid cafe.”

“Do they use special ingredients or something?”

“No, I think it’s similar to a regular family restaurant.”

“But it’s double the price of a family restaurant.”

With dissatisfaction, Himeno murmured quietly.

Certainly, maid cafes were about twice as expensive as regular family restaurants, but the additional cost covered the service from the maids.

While regular family restaurants simply had staff bring your order and that was it, maid cafes provided more interactive services. Maids would engage in conversation, perform on stage like idols, and even have mini-games.

There was an additional charge of around 500 yen on top of the food and drink costs.

If I hadn’t met Himeno, I might have considered coming to a maid cafe to heal from the pain of unrequited love.

“Taka-kun, you really want to come to a maid cafe, even if it’s expensive. So, even if the outfits are revealing…”

Himeno looked at the maid again, muttering something as she seemed to be thinking about it.

I guess she really wants to wear a maid outfit.

(If I could see Himeno in a maid outfit, it might be worth buying.)

I decided that when I got home, I would order one online. A silver-haired maid was a common sight in light novels, and it would definitely suit Himeno.

However, since I didn’t want others to see it, I planned to have her try it on when she came to my house next time.

With these thoughts in mind, I went ahead and ordered drinks.

***

“Master, Your Highness, sorry for keeping you waiting. Here are your iced milk tea and cream soda. Now, I’ll recite a magical spell to make your drinks even more delightful. Please enjoy, Master and Your Highness.”

“Is Kasugai the one doing it?”

“Why do you look dissatisfied? Most people would be delighted to receive service from a beauty like me.”

While she was undoubtedly attractive, I couldn’t help but think that this wasn’t the kind of person I wanted doing this, especially someone I knew.

“Oh, is that it? Did you hear from Marika-senpai and decide you wanted to meet me here? That dissatisfied expression must be a tsundere attempt to hide that you secretly want to see me.”

“Haha, “Haha, talk in your sleep?”

“A wry smile? It’s rude, you know. This is how I deal with disrespectful senpai.”

“Ouch.”

It’s not appropriate to pinch a customer’s cheeks while working.

The fact that she mentioned asking Marioka Senpai implies that Miki probably learned about working at the maid café from Marioka.

Maid cafes offer a good hourly wage for high school students in this area, so it seems Miki chose to work at a maid cafe.

While it would undoubtedly be embarrassing if it were done to Himeko, the reason Miki doesn’t mind if it’s done to her is likely because she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for her.

“This implies that, besides Shikibe-san, Taka-kun has other close female friends, right?”

Turning a bit tsundere, Himeno looked away, visibly upset.

“Himeno?”

“While being with me, please don’t look at other girls.”

She grabbed the sleeve of my uniform tightly, clearly showing signs of jealousy, especially towards Miki.

“Sorry.”

“I’ll forgive you. But, um… I want some evidence that you’re looking at me.”

“Evidence? A kiss on the cheek?”

Recalling the recent kiss on her cheek, my body started to heat up. I really wanted to take a sip of the milk tea I had just ordered, but I had to wait until the magical spell was recited.

“Um… a kiss on the forehead.”

Blushing intensely, Himeno suggested something unexpectedly bold. Asking for a kiss in public must be a sign of intense jealousy, wanting to make sure I didn’t get too friendly with other girls for the sake of our coexistence.

“Oh, that’s… “

It was embarrassingly impossible to kiss in a public place. Even in private, summoning the courage for a kiss required overcoming significant embarrassment.

“Please do it.”

With teary eyes and a pleading look, Himeno’s blue eyes shimmered slightly.

“Okay, I understand…”

It was incredibly embarrassing, but I couldn’t refuse Himeno’s request for the sake of our coexistence. I gently brushed aside her silky bangs, closed my eyes, and slowly brought my face closer to hers.

“Ah…”

The moment my lips touched her forehead, a sweet sound escaped from Himeno’s lips. Through the touch of my lips, I could feel her warmth.

“Wow, you’re so sweet. It must have made the drink taste even better, but let’s recite the magical spell together.”

Forming a heart shape with her hands, Himeno embarked on the Moe Moe Kyun routine, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.
