Today's theme: Neko.

"Ne, Satsuki-chan. What's this?" [Name] looked at the sign in confusion. She wasn't aware of the café having any themes.

"Ah, [Name]-chan! I forgot to tell you. Sometimes we cosplay to attract more people to the café!" Momoi explained, "Today we're cosplaying at nekos. So here are your cat ears and tail!"

"And also," Luka added in, popping out of nowhere and nearly giving poor [Name] a heart attack, "Just wearing the ears and tail doesn't count. You have to act like a cat as well!"

[Name] looked down at the ears and tail that was shoved into her arms, "Um, how am I supposed to act like a cat?"

"Like this," Luka held up her hands and bent them slightly as if they were paws, "Nya~"

[Name] tried to copy the girl, confusion showing in her face as she tried, "Nya?"

Suddenly, she was tackled by the two girls in front of her. "[Name]-chan you're just so cute! Even if you don't try, boys are still attracted to you!"

"Um," The girl was loss for words, was she supposed to take that as a compliment?

Maid Café: Open~

"Nya~ Welcome home masters!" Luka greeted the two customers that came in. [Name] could almost laugh at their expressions. It seemed like cupid had shot an arrow through both their hearts.

Hearing the bell ring again, [Name] rushed to the door, seeing how there was no one else available.

"Nya, welcome home, master~" [Name] tried to act cute although she knew she failed miserably.

"Eh? [Name]cchi?"

[Name] looked at the blonde for a while before finally realising it was Kise Ryota, another old friend from back in Teiko. [Name] mentally sighed, what were the odds. First meeting Akashi, now Kise.

"Oh, it's you," [Name] deadpanned and Kise feigned a hurt look on his face. "[Name]cchi, is this really how you talk to your customers?"

"I'm sorry master, please forgive me," [Name] bowed, mentally groaning at the words and suddenly she was being lifted off her feet.

"Of course, I'll forgive you~ You're just so adorable," Kise cooed.

"P-Please get off of me!"

Kise just laughed before setting her down and followed her to a table, "Gomen, gomen. I haven't seen you for so long. Last I heard, you're going to Touou?"

[Name] nodded as she gave him a menu.

"Ah, I'm having a match with Aominecchi soon, you should come and watch the match," Kise grinned.

"I'll see if I can make it," [Name] told him, "Now what would you like to order, master?"

"Omelette rice, [Name]cchi~" Kise told her and she nodded, writing it down before leaving to the kitchen to place down the order.

After a short while, [Name] returned with his plate of omelette rice and was about to leave before Kise grabbed her arm.

"Ne, [Name]cchi, you forgot to draw on my rice," Kise pouted. [Name] sighed as she left to get the syrup[1]

"What would you like on it, master?" [Name] asked, politely.

"Hmm," Kise pretended to ponder about it until he looked up at her and grinned, "How about your number~?"

"Not happening," [Name] replied bluntly which sent Kise into tears.

"Waah, so mean," Kise pouted, "How about [Name]cchi loves Kise then?"

Well, it could have been worse. Once she finished, [Name] saw the smile on Kise's face.

"Thank you, [Name]cchi~"

She bowed before leaving to attend to the other customers. Once Kise was finished, he called [Name] over once again to pay the money.

"That will be 1,400 yen please," [Name] told him.

[Name] took the money off him before Luka and Momoi both caught her eye. She realised that they were both indicating her to Kise a cute valediction.

"Nya, please come back soon master," [Name] held up her hands as if they were paws and prayed in her head that she didn't look as stupid as she felt.

Once again, the girl felt like she was being lifted up in the air and spun around.

"[Name]cchi is so cute~" Kise laughed.

"P-Please let go, m-master!"
