Chapter 6. School Festival

A girl with ponytail just stepped out of the school entrance, "it's seven already, no wonder the sky had turned dark already. I must go back soon to prepare for dinner." She was about to leave the school, but a force applied on her ponytail to prevent her moving.

"Aho, why don't you wait for me? Are you planning to go back home alone on your own at late evening? Don't you know that it's dangerous for girl to walk alone?"

Kazuha was still soothing her head, "Heiji!" She was quite surprised to see him at school this late, "I thought you've left already. Also, it's not that late, it's only seven now."

"But it's dark now, it's still dangerous."

"Don't you remember I know aikido? By the way, why're you still at school? I think that the Kendo club had left already. You don't need to prepare much for the School Festival tomorrow, right? I've heard that there'll be some kendo demonstration, all you need to do is teaching the others some kendo basic skills."

"You're right, we're doing things as usual, some demo games, but I still need to prepare for the katana, and bogu too." Heiji would never admit that he was actually waiting for Kazuha at the school entrance, and preparation of the kendo club had finished hours already. "Kazuha, what took you so long? I never heard what the aikido club will be doing tomorrow?"

Kazuha's face flushed slightly, but Heiji did not noticed. "Eh, we'll be opening a café shop. One of the senpai's home was a café shop."

"Café shop, that sounds nice, maybe I'll come to have a look too! Are there any delicious food?"

"NO! You don't need to come," said Kazuha loudly. Heiji was quite surprised by her prompt reaction, and Kazuha was surprised by her loud voice too.

"No?"

"I mean you must be busy on demo games, and teaching other kendo," said Kazuha. "So you don't need to come on purpose."

"Nice job, Hattori!" Said Tatsuya, "wow, you're so popular! Everyone wants you to teach them kendo. And your demo games are great too! No one could beat you here!"

"So, it's your turn to take care of things now," said Heiji, "I need to take a break."

"You can't wait to see Toyama-san?" Tatsuya really enjoyed teasing Heiji about his relationship with Kazuha, "you may be the most popular, while Toyama-san is the hottest for today school festival."

"Hottest? What do you mean?"

"Don't you know what the girls of the aikido team are doing?"

"Kazuha had told me that they're having a café shop," said Heiji.

"It's not an ordinary café, it's a maid café!" Heiji disappeared immediately after Tatsuya finished his explanation.

"No wonder Kazuha's reaction was so weird yesterday," thought Heiji, "and her face was blushing when I asked her about what she would be doing today." Heiji finally came to the entrance of the café shop of the aikido team. He read the sign at the entrance, 'Maid café' --- a café that makes you feel like a lord. "What is this stupid sign talking? Hope that Kazuha isn't doing anything stupid!"

At the entrance, a girl in maid uniform welcoming him, "welcome, master, please have a seat here." It was Natsumi-senpai at the entrance.

"Where's Kazuha, senpai?"

"She's there!" Natsumi pointed to a girl in ponytail, and a group of guys from the high school near-by were flirting with her. "Tell her to come here!" Heiji was trying hard to control himself not getting into any troubles with those guys.

"So, you want her to come here, that's VIPs service," said Natsumi, "are you sure you want it?"

"VIPs service? What's it?"

"So that you can stay in our VIP room with your Kazuha-chan," said Natsumi, with a teasing grin on her face.

"What do you think about making this café? And having this VIPs service, are you insane?"

"Don't worry, this's for you only," said Natsumi, "of course I won't let the other guys having their hands on your girl!"

"She isn't my girl!"

"Okay, okay, just wait here for Kazuha-chan," said Natsumi, while pushing Heiji into their VIPs room.

Heiji was sitting on the sofa uncomfortably inside the room, waiting for Kazuha impatiently, and "what kind of room is it? A sofa here?" He looked around, and there were also those "heart" decoration, and the pink colour in this room just made him more uncomfortable. Finally, the door was opened, and Kazuha was there in her maid uniform. No, she was not wearing a normal maid uniform as the others; she was wearing something more of a Lolita's style. The black maid dress was tightly wrapped around her body, with a white apron on top of it. There were also ruffles and laces trimmed around her dress, and Heiji really did not like it. "Kazuha! Take your clothes off now!"

"Aho, what stupid things are you talking?"

"I said take off your clothes now!" Heiji did not wait for Kazuha to answer; he already had his hands on her clothes. Of course Kazuha would not let Heiji did what he wanted, so she tried to escape from him. But the room was too small there were no room to escape, and she fell onto the sofa.

"Aho, what do you think you're wearing?" Heiji was so angry that his hands were about to take her dress off. He was on top of Kazuha, and their position was so precarious that they almost fell off the sofa. Then they heard a click sound at the door, and Natsumi-san was holding a camera in her hands. "Sorry if I'd interrupted you two, I just want to take a picture on the VIPs service we provided. Continue whatever you want to do."

"Aho, get off immediately," said Kazuha, her face still blushing deeply.

"You need to stay here with me until the end of today's school festival," said Heiji, "you didn't tell me that what you're going to do for the café today. And don't you know that it's dangerous to wear like this, there're lots of dangerous male outside."

"I didn't know that the dress is like this until yesterday, I've told senpai that I want one that's the same as the other, but they said that time is running out, so they can't make a new one," explained Kazuha, "and if I told you about the maid café, I bet that you would definitely have a fight with the senpai in the aikido team. Also, I don't think you would let me help them too."

"Of course, I would fight with them, what're they thinking? Idiots!" Said Heiji angrily. "Just change back to your school uniform, and let's get back home together. School festival would finish soon, let's go back sooner."

"But I need to help senpai to tidy up the things after the school festival," said Kazuha.

"Aho, who cares about them? And if you really like the dress you can wear it whenever you want either in your house or mine."

"Who like to wear the dress? Okay, let's get back home now."
