"You want me to WHAT?!"

"Please? We really need your help!"

"Well, it was fun knowing you."

"Wait, Welf, don't desert me here!"

"Master Bell, you brought this on yourself."

"Lili, not you too!"

"Well Mr Cranel?"

"Ms Ryuu, you're not helping!"

"WHAT'S WITH THE RUCKUS IN HERE?!"

"EEEP!"

The chatter stopped dead in the Hostess of Fertility as Mama Mia burst in looking furious. Bell immediately leapt behind a sheepish Syr, who raised her hands placatingly to try and calm down the incensed woman.

"Mama Mia, we were just asking Bell for help, since you know Anya is away sick and all!"

"The hell are you girls doing asking him for help? You know we only have uniforms for girls."

"Exactly!" Bell exclaimed from behind Syr, though she was quick to shush him.

"Yeah, but it won't be that big of a deal if he wore it, right?"

"Nope, not one bit." Lili agreed cheekily, Welf nodding in agreement next to her.

"Why are you siding with her?!" Bell demanded, his heart breaking from his party's betrayal.

"Would you please reconsider Mr Cranel? I know I'm usually not the one to go against you, but the work here will be too much without another pair of hands." Ryuu also joined in.

"How can I help if I don't even know a single thing about what goes on in here?"

"We'll help! Pleeeaaasseee?" Syr continued her pleading, giving him her most innocent, sparkly-eyes expression she could manage. Bell mentally cursed himself for not being good at refusing requests, especially against the dreaded puppy dog eyes.

"... F-fine." Bell mumbled, already knowing this was going to be a terrible decision.

"Aww but your butt will be hidden away from my view meow!" The albino boy heard catgirl Chloe complain from the kitchen.

'Yup, already regretting this…'

…..

"... and then you go over to them and ask what they want to order. You also need to know which table is which and you must deliver the order to the right one! Mixed up orders waste time and make people angry, and we don't need any more fights popping up."

Syr's lecture continued as Bell sweat-dropped, trying to cram every bit of advice into his head. Currently he was in the pub's dress uniform, an apron, knee-high socks (apparently they didn't have another pair of leggings, but that was a lie, Chloe had in fact spirited them away) and a frilly headband. He'd gotten over the fact he was doing this, and was just going along with it, in spite of how embarrassing it was dressing up like a girl.

"T-that's too much Ms Syr, please slow down…"

"Oh, we've got some more customers! Go! Shoo! Get out there!" With the arrival of a small party of adventurers, Syr pushed out the hastily prepared Bell, forcing him to sink or swim.

"U-umm…welcome!" Bell greeted the patrons, bowing mostly to hide his flustered face. Thankfully none of them recognised him. He could have gone without hearing some of their comments though as he led them to a table and took their orders.

Across the bar sat at a table with the best view to watch the fun were Bell's party members. "You're enjoying this too much…" Welf sweat-dropped as he glanced at the drooling Lili, who waved it off smiling innocently.

"Hey! What do you mean by that!? Master Bell just happens to look very...very cute in that!" She couldn't take her eyes off him. The dress hugged his body perfectly, and the bright red cheeks of his made him look so adorable too! And don't get her started on those legs!

"...He...probably doesn't want to hear that." Welf muttered, steadfastly ignoring the perverted giggles coming from the supporter in favour of his drink.

"So far so good…" Bell sighed as he delivered another order to the right table, tugging on his dress to keep it in place. He had never felt so mortified. Well, ok, he had, but that's not the point. Just a few more hours until the evening rush was over, he could survive that long, right?

"Oh boy. Our regular customers are here!" Syr giggled, leaning over the counter, and Bell gulped. 'Great, more people to laugh at me!' Actually, now that he thought about it, the women might just swoon while the men would be the ones laughing. That is, the moment took a closer look at him and realised he was a cross dresser . Great impression he was making on his fellow adventurers.

"Oi, albino! We're busy here so go take their orders!" Lunor ordered from the kitchen. Bell grumbled to himself, swallowed his complaints with a sigh and put on a fake smile. He made his way over to the table where the new arrivals were seated.

"Welcome! What can I...get...you…" the minute Bell saw who the newest group were, he stopped dead, his embarrassment growing tenfold. The customers stopped as well, staring at him in surprise.

"... Bell …?" Ais broke the silence, tilting her head in confusion and mild surprise. She'd never have expected to see her little bunny dressed like a maid girl. Though for some reason it made something in her heart flutter erratically. "What are you…?"

"Eh, the Loki familia!?" Welf blinked in surprise. Indeed, a good portion of the Loki familia was there. Including a rather shell-shocked Lefiya.

Bell froze, his embarrassed red fluster slowly morphing to a pale, horrified white. Lefiya also stared, not quite able to comprehend all the feelings she got from seeing the human she most detested in such attire, leaving her stuck in a strange mixture of disgust, hatred, and something akin to lust. Then, the silence was broken in a way only Bete could do.

"...BWAAAHAHAHAAHAAAAAA!"

"Argonaut-kun looks so kawaaaiiii!"

"Oooh! Now I gotta know how the captain would look in a maid dress!"

"Please don't say that…"

"...What are you doing, human?" Lefiya asked in a monotone staring him dead in the eyes, her own eyes blank and emotionless as she fought to sought through her chaotic emotions. This had the side effect of giving her a frozen stare that left Bell feeling like he was about to die.

"... nothing...?"

"Bell, take their orders already!"

"No way am I taking anything from this shameless human!" Lefiya yelled, Bell's pathetic answer evidently shaking her out of her reverie as she returned to her normal attitude regarding the albino human.

"Lefiyan-san, please spare me!"

"Go awaaaay!"

"Lefiya, behave!"

"I'm starting to wonder if this was really a good idea…?" Syr asked the chuckling Welf and fuming Lili, to which Welf started choking on his own laughs.

"You're asking that NOW?!"

The next morning…

"Wa-waaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Bell's wails echoed around the church whilst Hestia tried to keep a teasing smile off her face.

"Bell-kun, it couldn't have been THAT bad! Besides, I missed the chance of seeing you in knee socks…" she muttered the last part to herself. Bell just cried harder, having draped a blanket around himself for comfort.

"Aaaahhhh! Don't remind meeeeeee!"

"Well now I know what I want from you for my birthday~!"

"Kami-samaaaaaaaaa!"

I regret nothing XP
