“What kind of request?” Haruka asked curiously.

“My book will be published in two weeks at that time, I will have to do meet and greet to push my book sales, can you accompany me there? I’m quite scared there will be a strange people who enter the event,” Kasumigaoka said to him. She knew that she was a very beautiful girl and she was sure that there would be annoying fans who would try to hit or flirt with her. She wanted someone who could protect her at that time.

Haruka nodded, “Sure, I don’t mind, I will help you at that time.”

“Thank you,” Kasumigaoka sighed in relief. She knew that he could protect her since he had seen him fight before.

“Can you give me your phone number? It will be quite inconvenient for me not having it later,” Haruka said.

“My, are you trying to flirt with me?” Kasumigaoka asked.

“Well, you can interpret it that way if you want,” Haruka answered.

“Hmph, you’re not fun!! You should act like a v.i.r.g.i.n and blush since you have exchanged numbers with beautiful girls!!!” Kasumigaoka complained.

Haruka only rubbed his nose listened to her complain. He also wanted to spit that she called herself a beautiful girl by herself, ‘Well, she is really beautiful though.’ He didn’t really want to have that kind of relationship until he knew that his little sister would be fine without him. He knew that his time would be divided when he had a girlfriend at this time. He knew that this girl was really kind and beautiful, he also knew her for quite a long time. He didn’t want to play her feelings since he wasn’t ready yet for that kind of relationship.

Kasumigaoka started her monologue for ten minutes and he listened to her while closing his eyes. He wasn’t sure how she could talk that much.

“Anyway, here is the CONNECT account, email, and phone number,” Kasumigaoka said.

“Yeah, here it is mine too,” Haruka said.

Kasumigaoka looked quite satisfied when she had received his phone number. Though she was still quite unsatisfied with him to call her family name.

“Kasumigaoka,” Haruka wanted to say that he would go home now.

“Utaha…”

“Hmm?”

“Call me Utaha! And I will call you, Haru,” Kasumigaoka said to him.

Haruka thought this girl was really cute, “Sure, Utaha-Chan.”

“You don’t need to add -Chas suffix!!” Utaha said.

“Okay, okay, you don’t need to be that mad, I will call you, Utaha from now on,” Haruka said.

“Sure, you should be thankful to have had such a privilege to call me by my first name,” Utaha said.

“Yeah, I’m sure I’m a lucky guy to have that privilege,” Haruka said.

They were talking for a while and decided to go out together since it had been a while for them to talk to each other. They greeted Machida on their way who gave them strange eyes on him.

“How close are you with Machida?” Utaha asked.

“She helped me at the time, she was something of an akin older sister to me,” Haruka said.

“Hmmm,” Utaha looked at him.

Haruka felt the atmosphere felt a bit strange. He knew that he came because she invited him to talk, “Where are we going now?”

Utaha smiled and said, “The paradise of men.”

Haruka twitched his lips and wasn’t sure what she meant by that.

Haruka looked at the strange cafe in front of him. He had heard about this place but he had never come. He felt quite interested in this place and wanted to come. He didn’t expect that he would come to this place together with a girl for the first time.

“This is?” Haruka looked at her.

“This is Maid Cafe, how is it? Do you feel excited?” Utaha asked.

“I’m more excited to spend time with you,” Haruka teased.

Utaha blushed, “D – don’t say something stupid, let’s go inside.”

“Sure,” Haruka smiled and followed her.

They entered the store and were greeted by a beautiful girl with a maid uniform.

“Welcome home! Master! Mistress!”

She has long khaki hair with two ponytails and has Saffron eyes. She wears a typical maid outfit, consisting of a black undercoat and a white, frilled-trim apron and a white knee-length white with black shoes.

She looked at both of them and thought they were a pair of lovers. She blushed and said, “Please, let me show you, your table.”

“Thank you,” Haruka said.

Utaha nodded in response. She looked at him and looked at the maid in front of her. She had to admit that the maid was really beautiful and she had this feeling that made anyone want to protect her. She was also interested in this maid outfit thought that it would be interesting to show it to him.

“Do you like maid outfit?” Utaha asked.

“I don’t hate it,” Haruka said. He looked around and saw a lot of people in this place. He thought this would become a great business idea to set up a maid cafe since had money. He only needed a house to set up his maid cafe.

“Do you want me to wear it?” Utaha asked while teasing him.

Haruka raised his eyebrow, “Will you?”

Utaha smiled, “Of course, I can, this will be your prize when you help me later.”

“I don’t need that kind of reward!!” Haruka said.

“Really? I can give you a lot of services, you know?” Utaha asked with a smile. She also became closer to him to make him unable to resist her charm.

Haruka felt tempted to accept her offer since he also wanted to see it in that maid outfit.

“We have arrived at your table, master, mistress.”

Both of them forgot that there were still people around them. They looked at the maid who was blushing and her face was really red. They looked at each other and sat on their table.
