Hi Everyone, This will be my first work ever here so feel free to criticize or even ridicule for constructive purposes, thanks!
"If you ignore my messages I'm going to cry.", Magane said to Souta, pulling towards him putting his phone back into his hand, all the while letting out a small sinister giggle. By this point the boy was scared out of his mind. Souta knew exactly what Magane was capable of, and talking his way out from her grasps was a definite no-go. With his instinct of flight over fight kicking in he was ready to book it out of the alley-way. Although right before he could make his mad dash out of there the sound of a woman clearing her throat behind him interrupted the horrid moment between him and Magane. Turning around stood another worker of the maid café, who held with her a bold attitude and a tapping foot in impatience to pair.
"Miss Chikujoin" the annoyed woman said, then gave the both of them a snarled look. Magane quickly spun Souta to her side and wrapped her arm over his shoulder to fake a friendly manner. "Hi boss!" Magane said giving a big smile with her sharp row of teeth, "I was having a good ol' heart-to-heart with my close friend Souta-kun here!". The maid boss rubbed her temple and gave out a slight sigh. "Listen as much as I'd imagine you two playing catch-up on your lives, you're still on the clock" She gave a point to her bare wrist to mimic her pointing to a wristwatch "Shimata-san had to leave early for an appointment so you're taking up waitress shift for her.". Magane clunk her shoes together and gave a righteous salute, "Roger that Boss!". After giving a heavy pat on Souta's back, shoving him forward a bit, she skipped out of the alley giving a back-handed wave goodbye to Souta. "We'll talk later Souta-kun!". After she turned the corner Souta finally decided it would be the best time to get the hell out of there. Before walking past the café boss she gave a quick comment as he passed by. "She seems like a handful to deal with.". Giving out an exhausted sigh, Souta responded, "You don't know the half of it."
The maid café was bustling inside, as it usually is on the weekends. Although Magane had only planned to get this job to intercept Souta as she quickly figured out his walking path, she thought she could use the job as a good cover that also made her a quick buck. Also, it gave her a chance to take part in here favorite activity: talking to people. Walking back and forth, table to table, she managed to work up a bit of a sweat getting all the customer's orders. After giving the last order for the chefs she finally had a moment a grace to relax. After wiping her brow, she noticed her boss was standing next to her, looking up at her with a small grin. "You're a natural at this kid, you sure you had no previous jobs before this one?". Magane gave back a big smile, "Nope! I've always been a great people person" She then posed in a dramatic fashion and gave a peace sign to the older woman "Magane Chikujoin never makes a misstep!". And after that comment a cacophony of voices from all the customers who had been served their food rose up, all equal with confusion and slight annoyance. All the voices seem to allude to the same thing, most, if not all the orders had been mixed up or wrong in one way or another. Still in her pose, Magane then gave a worried giggle to her boss. The boss's demeanor turned from impressed to severe disappointment. She then gave a nod of her head towards the customer's tables, "Go work your magic, miss people person.".
Magane strode along to the nearest table with a troubled customer. Clasping the menu board over her chest, trying to give her warmest smile to the man. "Does there seem to be a mistake master?'. Magane tried not letting her eye twitch too much calling people "master". She was far more used to people calling her their master in her story, although I guess in the land of the gods the case for her is much different, for now. "Uhh, yeah, there's a problem" The man pushed his plate closer for Magane to see, it was an order of the Mamika curry and rice. "When you took my order, I asked for the parfait, as you can see this is FAR, from a parfait.". The man was insufferable, and incredibly rude for Magane's taste. In her story, she would have no problem killing off this cockroach. However, she needed to keep this cover job for a little longer to avoid and watching eyes. Although she was also astonished the amount of work that was expected out of the gods in this world. Although the hard labor pays the ethics here to her were very questionable.
The man looked on at the maid waitress staring off into deep though. He couldn't help but to give a loud clearing of his throat to regain her attention. "Excuse me, lady", Magane then had to interject to the man's words "Magane-san", she corrected. It was obvious to her by this point she was running him dry of patience, not liked she cared though. "Magane-san, can you please just give this back and get me the correct order?". As much as she would love to, she decided to have a little bit of fun with the customer. "Oh, but master," she pushed his plate back in front of him, "this is, in fact, your parfait." She said giving off a sinister smile. At this point she gained the attention of all the surrounding tables, causing a bit of a scene. The customer had to rub the palm of his hand with his face and slowly dragging it down in frustration. "Listen, miss:" Magane came in closer to heed the customer's words, "This. Is. Not. What. I. Ordered.".
And with that Magane let out an evil laugh, striking a pose and covered her face with her arms in front of her with palms facing out. "A lie within a lie" she began to move her arms into opposite directions, revealing her face again, "turns itself inside out". Everyone around her stood dead silent after that. "What the hell was that?!" The man was obviously over her shenanigans by this point. "Listen, I don't care what kind of magician… cosplay… thing… you're trying to pull here but it's not going to help out your job for much long-.". His eyes went back to where his plate was, noticing the plate of curry and rice had been replaced with a parfait. "Hey when di- wait… how did you?" He was at a loss for words, he hadn't laid his eyes away from her for a split second yet somehow managed to sneak the parfait in without anyone noticing. Magane had to cover her mouth from laughing too hard. "A good magician never tells their secret!" She bolstered, giving a little peace sign and a wink. All the other customers clapped in unison at the waitress's little trick. Magane then continued on, "Who's else her claims they got the wrong order from me?", she said with boosted confidence. Customers from tables, even ones she didn't get orders from all raised their hands asking to be amazed by her act, at least what they thought to be an act. Looking back to her boss she gave a big smile to her upper management, who in return gave a small nod in approval. "The lie is running strong" She said to herself in joy.
Author's note: So far I have only this one story thought out but within due time I hope to add more one-shots to this little collection I'm planning to build up here. Hope you enjoyed!
