Maid & Butler Day
Ryo had just started enjoying the tiniest bit of peace at work when Misaki stood on a chair and clapped her hands for attention.
Misaki (grinning): "Everyone, I have an exciting announcement! Tomorrow will be Maid & Butler Day!"
The café employees burst into cheers. Ryo, however, felt his soul leave his body.
Ryo (horrified): "Wait. WAIT. No, no, NO. I am NOT wearing a butler outfit!"
Ayane (smirking): "Oh? You'd rather wear a maid outfit?"
Haruka (crossing arms): "You are technically an employee, Ryo. You have no choice."
Reika (smiling): "Ara~ I think Ryo-kun would look quite handsome in a suit."
Misaki (ignoring Ryo's suffering): "Perfect! It's settled. Get ready, everyone!"
And just like that, Ryo was doomed.
The next day, the café was packed. Customers swarmed in, eager to see the special event. The doors opened, and Haruka, Ayane, and Reika walked out in full maid outfits.
Reactions:
Haruka: Tried to act serious but turned bright red.
Ayane: Played it way too naturally, even using a sweet tone.
Reika: Looked like she was born for this role, gracefully bowing to every customer.
Customer: "Haruka-chan, say 'Welcome home, Master!'" Haruka (dying inside): "D-Don't push it!"
Customer: "Ayane-chan, can you pour my tea?" Ayane (grinning, leaning in close): "Of course~ Anything for Master~"
Ryo (watching, muttering): "This is dangerous."
Then, Misaki shoved him forward.
Misaki: "Alright, Butler Ryo! Your turn!"
Ryo's outfit: A crisp black suit, white gloves, and a tie that felt like a noose. He hated it. The customers loved it.
🚨 Problem #1: The Female Customers Went Insane
"KYAAA! Butler Ryo is SO COOL!"
"Look at his tired expression—he's like a mysterious noble!"
"Ryo-sama, please glare at me again!"
Ryo (internally screaming): Why are they like this?!
Haruka (angry but flustered): "STOP FLIRTING WITH HIM!"
Ayane (fake smiling): "Yes~ Butler Ryo belongs to us."
🚨 Problem #2: Ryo's Sweet-Talking Accidentally Made It Worse
A shy girl spilled her tea, and Ryo, without thinking, helped her up.
Ryo (calmly): "Be careful. A cute girl like you shouldn't be so clumsy."
The entire café erupted.
Haruka & Misaki: "YOU IDIOT!"
Ayane (grinning dangerously): "Ohhh, so that's how it is?"
Reika (laughing softly): "Ara~ Ryo-kun, you should be more careful with your words."
🚨 Problem #3: A "Special" Butler Request
A rich lady pulled Ryo aside and handed him a card.
Rich Lady: "Call me. I can take care of a hardworking butler like you~"
Ryo (visibly sweating): "T-That won't be necessary."
Ayane (suddenly appearing behind him): "Oh, I insist—give me that."
She snatched the card, ripped it apart, and smiled sweetly.
Ayane: "Our dear butler doesn't need outside 'support.'"
Ryo barely escaped with his life.
Just as Ryo thought things couldn't get worse…
Misaki (grinning): "Time for a special event! A butler auction!"
Ryo (horrified): "A WHAT?!"
Customers could bid for a butler to personally serve them for the next hour.
Haruka (blushing): "I-It's not like I want to buy Ryo or anything!"
Ayane (smirking): "Oh, but I do."
Reika (smiling sweetly): "Fufu~ Let's see who wins."
And then… the bidding war began.
🚨 FINAL BID RESULTS: 🚨
Random Customer: 5,000 yen ($35) ✔️
Haruka: 10,000 yen ($70) ✔️
Misaki: 20,000 yen ($140) ✔️
Reika: 50,000 yen ($350) ✔️
Ayane: 100,000 yen ($700) ❌
MISAKI (ENDING BID): 500,000 yen ($3,500)!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Ryo (blankly): "I'm scared."
Misaki (smiling smugly): "Well, well~ Looks like I own you for the next hour, Butler Ryo."
Ayane (grinning but dangerous): "Enjoy it while it lasts."
And so, Ryo's fate was sealed.
After one full hour of Misaki making Ryo serve her like a queen, the café finally closed.
Ryo collapsed onto a chair, utterly defeated.
Ryo (muttering): "I'm quitting. I swear."
Misaki (smirking): "Oh? But you made us so much money."
Haruka (crossing arms): "Not to mention how much fun we had."
Ayane (grinning): "Ryo in a butler outfit~ What a sight to remember."
Reika (laughing softly): "Ara~ I wonder if we should do this again?"
Ryo's soul left his body.
And so… his suffering continued.
