Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
"Thank you so much, Master~♥! I'll bring it over in no time~♥!"
<i>[As she turns around with an elegant spin, she notices the strange figure. For a moment there, the girl didn't know what to say, only to remember she still had to do her job. Before going to place the order, she would greet the new person with a curtsy.]</i>
"Welcome home, Master~♥! Here the girls and I serve our masters who come for food and great attention. Would you like to have a seat anywhere? I can guide you~♥"
<i>[Before he can even reply, and no matter how much he denied it, Kazuho would force the newly arrival onto the same table as Asena. She would bow while blushing.]</i>
"It seems like all the girls are already occupied with their masters at this moment, so I'll do my best to serve you two~♥! Please check the menu, or I'll be mad~♥!"
<i>[And so she hops towards the kitchen.]</i>
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
<i>[Checking the menu, Mister 15723 would read: Relaxing Coffee" for ¥1,000; "Oo-hot Tea" for ¥2,000; "Love★Pancake" for ¥3,000 and "Sincere Omelette" for ¥5,000. Not soon after, following the rhythm of the cheerful and cute music that plagues the place step by step, Kazuho returns holding the Oo-hot Tea. The cup and plate seemed really fancy.]</i>
"I'm baaaaack, Master~♥! Here you go, a tea made by your loving servant, filled with nothing but care~♥!"
<i>[She giggles as she leaves it on the table. Before addressing Mister 15723, she would make a quick spin in place. Her smile had gotten more confident. She finishes with a pose, a peace sign with her right over right eyes as she closes her left.]</i>
"Is there anything that caught your attention in the menu, Master~♥?"
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
<i>[Closing time was very soon, as the sun was about to go out. Kazuho would gracefully spin her way towards Asena with a big smile on her face.]</i>
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaster~♥ I saw a slight glint in your eye, does that mean you enjoy the food I prepared for you with all my love~♥?"
<i>[She looks at him, with an extreme, strange hope in her own eyes.]</i>
"Will you praise me, Mast-?"
<i>[Kazuho would turn to see who was the one who recently arrived before the store closes, and her eyes get a bit wider, hope fully disappearing. She clears her throat. Once. Twice. Three times. Then she continues.]</i>
"A....As I was saying, Master...~♥ Praaaaaaaaise me~♥!"
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
<i>[Humming the cute song that keep going in the background and matching it with her step, the girl comes back with two white plates with perfect omelettes on top of them. She would leave each in front of them and skillfully grab the ketchup.]</i>
"Here you go, Master and Master~♥! I'll show you my most sincere love now~♥!"
<i>[First Asena's. She draws a small Pixie blowing a kiss with the words "Fight!". Then she moves on to Mister 15723's omelette, drawing instead a mischievous Pyro Jack giving the viewer a peace sign, wishing them "Luck!". Kazuho leaves the ketchup on the table and finishes by doing a curtsy.]</i>
"Cheer up you two~♥! You look tense, like machines~♥! Now saaaaaaaaaay..."
<i>[Kazuho bends over a bit so they get a closer look to her face. She presses both of her index fingers on each cheek and smiles.]</i>
"Smiiiile~♥!"
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
"I will~♥"
<i>["For as long as you don't eat me, I think I'll be fine", so does she think to herself. She then stands up as she sees Kurumi leave and takes a deep breath.]</i>
"Alright, time to take this dress off and make-up for the day."
<i>[It would take a while, but "Kazuho" would take her time with this. It's a lot to do after all, and he didn't want to ruin something he...quite honestly...]</i>
"...like. I do look kind of pretty in this."
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
"You would be surprised with that."
<i>[Knowing her luck, the weird will always appear to haunt her, even while at her job. She waves her hand with a genuine smile.]</i>
"Thank you anyways, Kurumi-honey. My shift is about over so I'll leave in like a second~"
<i>["She's not that bad at least. Not as aggressive as Sana." She thinks.]</i>
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
<i>[Kazuho almost chokes on the air she was breathing when she sees Kurumi come in all of a sudden to have a short break of some kind.]</i>
"H-Hey, Kurumi-honey. You are doing really well; I wish I had that much of an easy time at this."
<i>[She tries not to look back as she faces the mirror, instead looking at her coworker from the reflection.]</i>
"This is my first job, so..."
<i>["Don't break character" She thinks.]</i>
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
<i>[A girl with long brown hair, a soft smile and long dress compared to the other girls would approach Asena and gracefully bow to him while having her hands together.]</i>
"Welcome home, Master. My name is Kazuho, your lovely maid. Is this your first time here? If so, I hope we can help you relax. You're at home, right?"
<i>[Her voice was as soft as her expression.]</i>
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
"Oooh, you don't have to worry about me... K-Kurumi-honey~♥!"
<i>[Kazuho merely giggles as Kurumi approaches her, acting as she normally does. Kazuho was a bit awkward around her coworker, but she was able to not show it as she was also good at acting. Even so, one thing was passing through her mind the entire time: Danger. This, on full repeat.]</i>
<i>"This is an actual nightmare. I hate this. Kill me. Kill me now."</i>
<i>[She thinks, while in a silent panic.]</i>
"T...Thank you for your concern, I just joined but... I'll keep it in mind."
<i>[For a moment there her voice cracks; nothing quickly clearing her throat couldn't fix.]</i>
Akihabara: "Alice's Apron" Maid Café
<i>[Quick to work, Kazuho would take the 10,000 yen and give back 3,000 yen to Asena, merely allowing him to go after the fact. She kept smiling and held both of her hands together to follow up with a bow.]</i>
"There are still things I must do, Master~♥ Guess you'll have to praise me more next time~♥!"
<i>[She bows yet again.]</i>
"Thank you for coming, have an amazing night~! I'll be waiting patiently for your next visit~♥!"
<i>[Once done, Kazuho would make her way to the break room to spend the rest of her shift. Kazuho approaches the large mirror on the wall and thinks back as to how she suddenly ended up in this situation.]</i>
"These girls don't have it easy, seriously... That guy, he seemed... familiar, somehow."
<i>[She would take a closer look at her make-up that the other girls helped her put on as soon as she showed up and the boss introduced her. She didn't even know how pretty she could look. Lucky it works even when she sweats. She couldn't predict Kurumi would be here too, or Asami.]</i>
"Hmm... he gave me some weird Sana vibes."
