On Thursday I was working at my part-time job again after school, I got to hear praises about my professionalism despite my young age. And a nice surprise arrived at the door, the Kawata brothers decide to visit me at work, just as they promised they would.

"Welcome Master." to which Nahoya responded.

"You really weren't kidding about working here." Was he possibly doubting me? Then again I was supposed to be 13, I must have been really lucky to get this job, or rather it was a deliberate plan by the system to have me working as a cute maid? I wanted to act like I usually did around those guys, but because the manager sang praises about me to even the other coworkers I had to keep up my professionalism intact.

"Follow me," I said while I guided them to empty seats beside a window. Favoritism, or at least I hoped they liked this arrangement because I sure liked to stare out a window when drinking hot beverages in a coffee shop.

"Here's the menu..." I gave them two sets. "Once you decide on your order, you can call me over by saying Nyan, Nyan~" Smiley looked mortified when I told him as such, why did I have a feeling he would bully Souya to speak it instead?

I was about to walk away but Nahoya grabbed me by the dress.

"Nahoya sweetie there are rules in place that you're not allowed to touch the maid staff." he withdrew his hand.

"How about you let us order right now." I guess he didn't want to force Souya into saying it either. I nodded and asked them cutely for their order. They order one omelet, one curry, and two strawberry lattes.

"Coming right up~," I said in a singing voice and walked away to the preparing station. We had the chef for the food, but I had to make the drinks myself. Once the food was ready I went with the tray to their table, it was drawing with ketchup and strawberry jam time.

"So what does the fine distinguished gentlemen want to be drawn?" I asked, wondering what kind of demands they would have.

"Penguin." That was such a cute request from Smiley.

"Please chant with me Moe Moe Nyan Nyan~" his smile dropped.

"There is no way that is happening." I decided to give him some advice and encouragement.

"Your tough friend are nowhere to be seen, nor judge you for saying cute chants, just enjoy the experience. You can't say no with such a cute maid by your side." I then did the cat pawn movement with my hands while saying.

"Nyan~Nyan~" as adorably I could possibly master.

"Maybe it was a mistake to come here." he looked so serious I couldn't stop myself from giggling.

"You will not tell anyone?" he asked carefully.

"My lips are sealed, I'm a professional after all." I gave him a thumbs up to show my determination in keeping this act a secret.

"Moe Moe Nyan Nyan." of course the chant was longer than that, but I knew there was a possibility of getting beaten up if I kept pushing him to say more. I drew him the penguin with ketchup as he wanted.

"How about the strawberry latte?" he just let me pick something on my own, so I tried my best to draw his face with his puffy hair.

"I'm something of an artist myself," I said smugly and then turned to Souya.

"And for you my dear?" I asked.

"Cat." I was surprised because he got attacked by one the other day. Unlike his brother, he did the chant without arguing and so cutely I wanted to bite his cheeks.

"Composure, composure," I whispered to myself while drawing the cat on the curry with the sauce per his request, on the latte he also wanted a cute self-portrait so I complied, even adding a little tiny heart as a bonus.

"You look cute in the maid outfit." that was so nice of him.

"Stop it, you will make me blush." I then went to tend to the other customers, but once they were finished with their food I came over and asked them which maid they wanted a picture with.

"You, of course, that's why we're here." Smiley was straight to the point, but I fired back.

"It's part of my work to ask customers that." he huffed and we went to the picture station. I let them choose their animal ears of their liking, and we took a photo together.

"Are you planning to carry it in your pocket everywhere you go?" I asked as a joke.

"I may not, but Angry may try." What was going on here? Souya denied such accusations, and so they left. That was weird, I shook my shoulders and went back to work.

Once I was done I felt really fatigued.

"Maybe I should take at least one day for rest." Running around like this couldn't be that good. At this point, I may have passed in everyone's eyes for an extrovert with all the things the system made me do. My plans for the rest of the day were just lazing around on my bed, but as my body hit the soft cushions a mission emerged.

'Would you rather call Keisuke Baji or Yasuhiro Muto?' I would call Muto if I wasn't so tired, with Baji honestly I could just hang upon him. So I found his name on the phone and pressed call.

"Hi, do you need something?" I pondered whether to answer or just

act as planned.

"Solely called to waste your time." he didn't say anything for a while, was his rotten brain plotting something?

"Are you at home?" Suspicious question.

"Yes... why do you need to know that?" he quickly declared.

"Great, we're coming over!" and hung up on me.

"I played myself didn't I?" I decided it was for the best to inform my family, and so I dragged my feet downstairs.

"Mom, Keisuke invited himself over." She nodded acknowledging the fact.

"Do you want me to prepare some snacks? We have watermelon." Did she say watermelon, that was one of my favorite fruits.

"Your dad brought some, what do you say?" I made some silly dance moves while chanting.

"Watermelon, watermelon." She smiled, cut it for me into small pieces, and put them on a huge plate.

"You're offering has been accepted." I carried it to my room but unexpectedly heard someone shouting.

"Michi! We're here!" Why were they so swift? I went downstairs again, this time to unlock the door.

"So care to explain why you suddenly decided to hang at my house?" They pushed their way inside.

"Since this time, it is just the three of us." That wasn't a proper explanation, and what were we the three musketeers?

"So you came over to gossip?" Keisuke never denied the fact.

"We brought manga to read," Chifuyu stated as I instinctively patted his head, having an image of a golden retriever in my head when I saw his bright smile. He seemed confused but didn't complain. I guided them upstairs and then took a piece of the watermelon and jumped onto the bed.

"You know guys... you shouldn't be so comfortable coming over to my house, just because I let you in once." Keisuke took a piece of the fruit as he tried to inquire why I said such a thing.

"A girl's room could be dangerous for a guy, this is the tiger's den you see..." Equality, usually that's what has been told to girls by guys, so checkmate. But then I had the urge to cutely say.

"Rawr~" Keisuke was now laughing, I guess he didn't take my threat seriously.

"Is that supposed to be scary?" he asked as I shook my head in denial.

"This is my deliberate plan to have you two let your guards down around me, so later I can strike you down when you least expect it." Chifuyu then added.

"If you did, you wouldn't tell your plan out loud." Hasn't he heard of the concept of people changing their minds?

"Maybe I want to that's why I'm warning you Chifuyu, think Chifuyu think." It was time to stop messing around and start inquiring about their visit.

"So what do you really want? I have a feeling you two came here to ask me something." Keisuke seemed hesitant at first but gave it a shot anyway.

"Do you really have feelings for Emma?" So that was the reason for his trip.

"You will find out soon enough. I say in about a week." I said feeling really smugly.

"Oh come on, aren't we friends?" Well we were, but.

"Yes but you've been friends with Draken for so much longer. How do I know you won't rat me out?" Then again why was he deliberately trying to butt himself into romance matters?

"I promise I won't." he seemed sure about it.

'Would you rather tell Keisuke Baji about your cupid plan or invite more people over to your house?' This company was already too much for my energy drained brain.

"Sure I will explain to you what I'm up to, but if either Mikey or Draken gets wind of this, I will send your ass to space." That's when Chifuyu interfered.

"I'm pretty sure you won't be able to beat up Baji-san." He could have kept his mouth shut.

"I know Waka Waka and Benkei." I wasn't sure if the infamous two legends would cooperate, but maybe I could convince them otherwise, with money perhaps?

"I swear I won't tell anyone." It was nice to hear this, I hoped he had enough brains to keep his promises.

"So to answer your question I don't like Emma that way, even if she's really adorable." Keisuke seemed confused.

"Then what was yesterday's incident about?" Chifuyu that seemed to have caught the drift faster than Keisuke suddenly said in realization.

"You're trying to make Draken jealous so he would confess to Emma, is that it?"

"Bingo," I said being proud of him.

"What for?" Keisuke questioned.

"Let's say I'm their number-first shipper." They were really cute together, and I didn't want Emma to miss out on the fun of dating. I was dedicated to saving her life while taking the hit for her in the future, but there was this uncertainty in the air, even if I knew how the story was supposed to go if I involved myself the future was bound to change. And if someone as crazy as Izana and Kisaki were out for her life, I felt like there was not much I could do. I could save her once, but could I do it twice, or three times?

"Why are you frowning so much all of sudden?" Keisuke asked as I just sighed since I never properly thought about that stuff before. Could I even save this annoying guy first? I already changed Kazutora's course, but was it enough to keep Kisaki from messing with his head?

"I just thought about something depressing." he tilted his head in confusion and then I stood up from the bed and put Keisuke into a hug.

"Your dumb ass is not allowed to die." Keisuke just laughed.

"You don't need to worry about me, I'm strong." I wish that was all he needed to keep living and thriving. Then something dawned on me, I exposed myself, didn't I? I was hoping that Chifuyu would forget this conversation ever took place. Or would he come knocking on my door during October with Takemichi? I stayed like this for a while, until at some point I decided to forget those dark thoughts with more watermelon and manga that Chifuyu brought over.
