Lunch break.
School canteen.
"Asakawa-kun, here." Ichika waved his hand and shouted.
Naoki carried the plate, walked over to the Quintuplets, and sat down beside Ichika.
"Slept in bed again this morning?"
Naoki put down the plate and looked at Ichika.
"I don't stay in bed." Ichika refused to admit it, "It's just that I didn't get a good rest last night, so I woke up a bit late
"I'm almost late." Nino complained. "You clearly hate getting out of bed."
Itsuki nodded in agreement: "Nino is right."
Miku didn't speak, and silently counted the grains of rice to eat.
As the smallest eater among the Quintuplets, his lunch portion was half less than Itsuki's
"I can not do anything." Ichika said pathetically "It's so cold this morning, every time I want to get up and lift the blanket, I feel like my whole body will freeze."
Nino gritted his teeth: "If you wear pajamas, you won't be able to get cold at night. It won't be too cold when you wake up in the morning."
"But sleeping in pajamas will affect development. Scientists have said that the most correct way of sleeping is to take off your clothes and sleep. Isn't that right, Asakawa-kun?"
"Right." Naoki drank the flavored soup "Actually, sleeping in winter will make you warmer if you take off your clothes."
"Hah?" Yotsuba turned her head in surprise, "No matter how I think about undressing, it's colder, right?"
"This kind of thing is like eating coriander. Some people think it's good, and some people think it's not." Naoki said slowly, "Regarding whether it is delicious or not, you will find out by trying it yourself."
Ichika: "I hate eating coriander."
Mino: "I hate it too."
Miku: "I didn't eat it."
Yotsuba: "I don't like cilantro."
Itsuki: "I..."
"What are you?" Naoki looked at Itsuki "If you can eat the taste of coriander potato chips, so can coriander. You can eat it."
Since it was divided into five equal parts, if Itsuki could eat coriander, the other four would definitely be able to eat it. The reason why they hated her was obviously prejudice!
...
Had lunch.
"Ichika, don't come back at night." Nino put his hand on his chest and looked at Ichika "So as not to make everyone late with you again."
"Too much, you kicked me out of the house." Ichika said sadly.
Miku sipped her matcha soda in silence.
His tone was sad, and she was clearly very happy at heart, right?
Miku even managed to make sure that Ichika woke up later and later every morning, just for this sentence... Only Nino was still in the dark.
"Who will go out with me at night?" Ichika asked.
Several girls looked at each other and did not speak.
Itsuki coughed twice: "Is it still rock paper scissors?"
"Right." Yotsuba nodded, "That's fair."
Nino didn't mind, and quickly extended his right hand.
These four girls were already familiar with the rock paper scissors thing.
After a while.
Victory and defeat.
"I lose." Yotsuba pulled his hand "I will take care of Ichika tonight."
...
Two afternoon classes passed in a hurry.
It's time for school.
"Going to the library to study?" Itsuki took out a meat bun from his school bag, and while eating the meat bun, she looked at Naoki, "Final exams are coming up, this time my ranking will be raised a bit. "
Itsuki's previous target was to pass the exam which was achieved last semester. Now the goal is to work hard to improve the rankings, and the enthusiasm for studying is also getting higher. On the other hand, Ichika and Nino enter college careers ahead of schedule – as long as the exams pass, the salted fish girl doesn't matter.
"Let's go." Naoki looked at the meat buns in Itsuki's hands, and suddenly asked, "How did the meat buns taste today?"
"Pork filling."
Itsuki's classic taste.
"I haven't eaten it in a long time." Naoki said, "I've forgotten what it's like."
"It's the only thing left." Itsuki reluctantly handed over the meat bun in his hand, "Wanna?
" Okay ..."
Naoki looked at Itsuki, the afternoon sun was just right, Itsuki's skin was bright and crystal clear, and the fine hair was covered with a halo, as if to merge with the sunlight, especially the lips that were extremely shiny seductively.
The four eyes face each other.
Itsuki understood Naoki's intention in an instant, his face blushed slightly, she quickly returned the meat bun, turned and left: "The meat bun is gone!"
Naoki stepped up to follow: "I'm hungry, I'm dizzy, and my hands and feet will be weak."
Itsuki said: "Don't talk to me!"
...
The two walked into the library while talking.
The end of the semester is coming, and the number of people reading and studying in the library is gradually increasing.
After studying together until 4:30, Furuhashi whispered.
"Asakawa-san."
Naoki nodded "Let's go."
Most of the preparations for the ball have been completed, and only the final costume remains unfinished. In the afternoon plan to go to the cafe where Furuhashi works part time during summer vacation.
"I will go too." Sekijou stood up quickly.
As an involved person, she couldn't help it anymore, and now Furuhashi would never be left busy alone.
Seeing everyone leave, Ogaya naturally won't stay behind: "Me too."
Furuhashi then said softly, "Then let's go together."
...
The four of them walked out of the school together.
20 minutes later, they made it to the coffee shop.
"Uh, maid cafe?" Looking at the maid dressed girl at the door, Sekijou said in surprise, "Furuhashi-san, where you work is actually a maid cafe?"
Furuhashi blushed. "A lot of things happened..."
Summer vacation, she clashes with his father, runs away from home alone, and lives in Naoki's apartment. Back then, she decided to live independently in the future, so she decided to work part-time at a maid cafe with Asumi senpai… How could such a thing be said!
Naoki looked at Sekijou: "Why are you so surprised?"
"Of course I was shocked." Sekijou complained, "At the school festival, Furuhashi-san definitely didn't want to wear a maid outfit… Those people know that Furuhashi-san will be dressing up as a maid to entertain guests, they will definitely crowd the cafe."
Naoki nodded solemnly: "It really needs to be kept secret."
"You two are too exaggerated!" Furuhashi shouted.
The four of them walked to the cafe door.
"Welcome…" A girl in a black and white maid outfit greeted it, her eyes sparkling when she saw Furuhashi, "Fumino-chan? Why are you here?"
Furuhashi smiled and said, "Machiko, good afternoon."
Of course it is very nice to meet friends who used to work together.
"Fumino-chan, why didn't you come last weekend?" the girl maid asked curiously.
Even after removing the estrangement between her and his father, Furuhashi is free on the weekends and often comes to work.
"I went to Kamakura last weekend." Furuhashi coughed lightly, "That's why I didn't come… Is the shop manager around? I have something to ask the store manager."
"The store manager is here, come in."
Naoki walked behind and slowly entered the cafe.
Before Furuhashi came, she had sent a message to the shop manager beforehand. After communicating, now with Sekijou and Ogata walking to the bar casually.
Wearing sunglasses, the store manager who looked threatening, slowly wiped the cup.
"Someone requested leave today, there aren't enough people, would you like to help entertain the guests?"
The bald shop manager looked fierce, but his attitude was quite sincere: "Suddenly asked for leave, I couldn't find anyone else to help in a short time, so I can only ask the three of you."
"Sawako, what do you think?" Furuhashi looked at Sekijou.
"I..." Sekijou gritted his teeth, "I'm fine."
Do not panic.
It is only wearing a maid outfit, she is not alone, and it is a good maid outfit that will not show up!
"I'm fine." Ogata said quickly.
Neither Sekijou nor anyone could overcome the embarrassment, let alone Ogata.
The bald shop manager looked up in embarrassment, "Maybe customers will complain to us about the use of child labor..."
"I'm not a child!" Ogata rebutted, "I'm already a high school student!"
...
After some conversation, the three girls quickly went behind to change into maid clothes, and Naoki naturally stayed behind and didn't follow.
"How is Asumi-chan today?" Machiko asked, "Since Asumi-chan said that she would concentrate on preparing for the exam and quit her job at the cafe, it's been a while since Asumi-chan came to play. She has to go to extra school every day, so she has no time at all."
Naoki said slowly: "Senpai is in good shape these days."
"Lie?" Machiko obviously couldn't believe it, "Asumi-chan complained to me a while ago, saying that the pressure of studying was so great that her hair was falling out."
She said that a while ago, It must have been before the study buff was added, Asumi who needed to add buffs every day was full of talent, and by drawing a conclusion from a single fact, there was no pressure in studying at all!
Naoki sat alone in a corner, playing with his cell phone, waiting for the three of them to come out.
After a while, three girls in maid costumes finally appeared, and Naoki's eyes lit up slightly.
The girl walking in front was Furuhashi, with long blue hair in buns, wearing a black and white maid outfit with a tight waist, and a white maid hair accessory on top of her head.
If I have to say that there is regret, it is a mediocre chest that is quite pitiful.
"Sawako, don't be nervous." Furuhashi whispered his experience, "You will get used to it in a bit."
Naoki looked at Sekijou behind Furuhashi.
Sekijou must be wearing a maid outfit for the first time, she looked a bit nervous, she grabbed the hem of the maid outfit with both hands and his face was as red as a ripe apple.
Sekijou encouraged herself.
Compared to Furuhashi, Sekijou definitely couldn't do hospitality, and could only do cleaning work.
Lastly, there is Ogata.
Naoki turned to look at Ogata, and his eyes must have been attracted by some kind of orb.
She was clearly just a normal maid outfit, but Ogata was wearing a "sees the ridge and forms a peak on the side" effect.
Moreover, the height of an elementary school student, combined with a mind that far exceeds his height, instantly becomes the center of the audience's attention.
"Come here." Naoki gestured at Furuhashi.
Furuhashi came over and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Naoki said firmly "I want coffee then continued: "Besides coffee, I also want a delicious magic omelette."
"No omelet." Furuhashi was angry "Just coffee."
An ordinary omelet, casts unknown magic, and then it can be delicious...
There's no magic in the world to make omurice delicious, it's all psychological. Even though Furuhashi was familiar with the process of omurice magic, she had never tried it once, it was too embarrassing!
"How's Sawako?" Naoki turned to look at Sekijou.
"Do not look at me." Sekijou quickly covered herself, his face turning bright red, "The store manager already said I only need to be in charge of cleaning."
Naoki looked at Ogata again: "What about Ogaya, what do you do?"
"Like Sawako, cleaning." Ogata tilted his head, "I just brought the cup to the kitchen, and the manager looked really worried."
Worry of course. When Ogata held the cup, she lowered his head, unable to see the cup!
There is an effect called the visual glitch effect. When people looked down, they would subconsciously think of themselves as 'small' because of a visual error. The right way is to look in the mirror, so there's no need to feel inferior. In fact, not as small as it looks.
This is Ogata's case. She doesn't think she is too big, but she doesn't know that in the eyes of others, holding a cup is very scary.
"It's fine if you don't have any omurice." Naoki said hopefully, "I want a group photo service."
"What is a group photo service?"
"It just means taking a group photo," Furuhashi explained, "Sneaky photos are prohibited in the cafe. If you want to take a photo, you have to get approval from the maid, otherwise…"
"I agree."
"This is my first time wearing a maid outfit, and I feel a little strange." Ogata pressed his right hand against the skirt of the maid outfit and said bluntly, "I want to take a photo with Asakawa-san."
"Sawako?" Ogata turned and asked.
Sekijou turned his head and whispered, "I can do anything."
Just a group photo, ity is nothing compared to what was done in Kamakura.
"Come and take pictures." Naoki looked at Furuhashi "The number of guests is increasing, and you should be busy in the future, so don't waste time."
