Miss Heir wasn't very kind to me.

Chapter 16. "A Must-Try Maid Café - Continued"

"Welcome home, Master and Miss!"

After entering the store, Masumi and his group were greeted by a sweet and gentle voice. A maid in charge of reception came over to greet them.

"Master and ladies, please come this way!"

The maid who entertained them was a petite girl with delicate features. Her hair was black and shiny because it was carefully maintained and rested neatly on her cheeks.

She was wearing a cute maid uniform. Although she was not the kind of impressive beauty, she knew how to fully display her feminine charm. Her every word and action seemed calculated, giving people a refreshing feeling.

The pantyhose wrapped around her legs like melted chocolate, and when you got close you could smell the scent of her makeup.

"Please be careful on the steps."

Masumi glanced around the restaurant. The interior was about the same size as Fanxing's, with approximately thirty tables for guests, but the occupancy rate was far higher, nearly all of them full. What surprised Masumi was the number of customers, nearly half of whom were women.

He had thought that the customers of this kind of store were all men.

The lighting is designed to focus on the maids and the food as they come and go. The aroma of sweet treats fills the café, creating a relaxing and soothing atmosphere.

"Please take a seat here."

She led the four people to an empty seat in the back and sat them down. An angelic smile appeared on the maid's face, and she spoke in an impeccably friendly tone.

"Welcome home, Master and Miss. I'm the maid Shiori. Please guide me!"

As he spoke, he made a heart shape with his hands.

After Asami's explanation, Masumi learned that in a maid cafe, guests are called "master" or "lady", and the cafe is the residence of the "master" and "lady", so they cannot be greeted with "Welcome", but "Welcome home".

"Hey! Thank you for your help today, Shiori." Asami seemed to be a regular customer of this store. She leaned back in her chair and greeted her familiarly.

"We are the same. Please give us your guidance."

Following her lead, the other three people responded with a slightly stiff attitude.

"Master and Miss must have had a hard time getting home."

Miss Shiori's smile remained unchanged as she handed over the menu, "Please tell me anything you need, Shiori."

She looked at Masumi, Rin'ne, and Kuon Mirai and said, "You three haven't been home for a long time. I'm afraid your impression of the mansion's menu is a bit vague. Do you need Shiori to introduce it to you?"

This is probably an introduction to the new customers. Masumi took the menu and scanned it. Seno was not kidding. This is a coffee shop that specializes in desserts. Even the most common pancakes are divided into many categories according to different toppings and sauces.

The menu features photos with the names of the dishes handwritten next to them, giving them a girly touch. Besides the standard dishes, there are also bonus items like Polaroid photos.

"I want this... 'Soft Cloud Maid Pancakes' and 'Prince's Black Tea'."

Masumi hesitantly read out what he wanted to order, feeling very ashamed.

"Okay, what about this young lady?"

Shiori looked at Rinne with a smile on her face, and Masumi also looked over to see her awkward reaction.

"This, this."

Kamishiro Rinone held up the menu to Shiori, tapped her finger on the photo of the dish she wanted to order, and said expressionlessly.

Too cunning. Masumi complained in his heart, isn't this something only foreign tourists can do?

Rinne Kamishiro had always given him the impression of being meticulous, making Masumi think she was the kind of witch who could calmly walk into Starbucks and fluently recite the ordering spell, "Please give me a medium vanilla skim with chocolate chips, extra coffee powder, and matcha whipped cream Frappuccino."

Kuon Mirai also followed suit and ordered, but in the end, only Masumi stupidly read out the names of the dishes.

"Please change my soft drink to an alcoholic one." Mami said.

"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment. We will serve a delicious meal to the master and the ladies shortly."

Leaving behind a sweet smile, Shiori turned and left, her fluttering skirt drawing a beautiful arc.

This restaurant serves food very quickly. After waiting for a while, Masumi's "Soft and Fluffy Cloud Maid Pancakes" were freshly baked and placed on the table.

"Everyone's meal is ready. Before you start eating, let's join Shiori in casting some magic to make the meal even more delicious!"

"Okay! Let's go together."

Asami made a sound of pleasure, her beautiful brown eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips turned up in a smile that seemed to show her watching the fun. However, the plan was canceled after Masumi and Rin'ne strongly protested.

"Although I'm sorry, since the master has ordered it, I won't disturb the master and the young ladies while they're dining. Shiori will be there anytime if you need anything!"

Although she refused the "delicious magic" service offered by the maid, Shiori still smiled brightly, and her smile was so gentle that people wanted to swim in her eyes.

As a professional maid, Masumi's view of maid cafes has changed drastically. He thinks the popularity of this subculture is not only due to the erotic atmosphere of beautiful girls in maid outfits, but also because of the emotional value they provide to the customers.

The enthusiasm that had made Masumi a little restless left, and he began to concentrate on enjoying the pancake in front of him.

Because it was garnished with blueberries, it sold better than the one Mami tried making in the store.

Masumi picked up a knife and pierced the thick pancake, cutting into bite-sized pieces and piercing them with a fork.

The soft pancake melted in his mouth. His was paired with butter, and the aroma of butter filled his nostrils as he chewed.

The salty butter melts away the sweetness of the pancakes, and after taking a sip of black tea, all sorts of aromas melt smoothly in the mouth. Even someone like Masumi who rarely eats desserts seems to be conquered.

"I'm not kidding you, the desserts in this shop are really impressive."

“Indeed, and the atmosphere in the store is very relaxing.”

Rin said this, gently dipping the tip of her fork into the cheesecake, cutting it into pieces, and putting the cake into her mouth.

The atmosphere in the store is full of energy. Although the maid's enthusiastic service may make first-time customers feel a little uneasy, after staying for a while, they will be infected by this enthusiasm and smile from the bottom of their hearts.

This is probably the meaning of the service industry.

“We want our guests to smile and have a relaxing time.”

It seems that the problem pointed out by Masumi is indeed very insightful.

Linyin fell into deep thought. As expected, she still had many shortcomings as an heir.

However, she did not look depressed because of this, but instead seriously considered her own problems.

"Rinne-chan, try it too."

Suddenly, Mami's voice rang out, pulling Rin's thoughts back to reality.

"Huh? What to try?"

The expression on her face changed from surprise to confusion.

Mami had a sinister smile on her face, as if she had planned this for a long time: "Maid experience event."

◇

"Maid~Maid~"

Asami hummed a lighthearted tune with newly rewritten lyrics.

Kamishiro Rin and Kuon Mirai were coaxed into participating in the maid experience activity, and only Masumi and Asami were seated.

Rin was determined to refuse at first, but after Mami gave the reason of learning advanced coffee shop experience, she accepted it after a little hesitation.

The girl with long black hair tightened her lips, and after her delicate and tempting lips trembled several times, they finally relaxed softly, her amethyst-like eyes revealing determination.

"Well, if it's for this cafe... I'm willing to do anything."

He calmly delivered lines that could be easily misunderstood.

She is really good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses. She is a very dangerous woman. Masumi thought that this person must not be allowed to work in an insurance or sales company.

"You didn't plan this from the beginning, did you? No wonder you had to drag Jiuyuan along."

"Mamami, you think too badly of me." Mami crossed her arms and said in a relaxed tone, "How could I have known that this shop has a maid experience event for customers every Friday?"

Masumi was even more convinced by the bright smile.

　The last day of 2024, the new year is coming
