Love Fest!

[Sorry we forget to post this.]

Hiroto and co. had gone to the customer area. Umi was a bit jittery but she didn't cower. She was more embarrassed by the fact of wearing the undeniably cute maid dress that showed frilly and cute aura.

The few customers felt great seeing new maids from left and right. There was the female customers counted at one hand as they felt really blessed seeing such a guy like Hiroto who was really handsome and the butler persone really suit him.

Umi was tasked to receive new customers while Hiroto assisted the only few female customers. They asked for his number and his things but didn't really proceed to answer and just smiled at them as he earned their blushing faces.

Honoka and Kotori helped with miscellaneous things. Kominami supervised everything while looking really cute. Seeing the two top maids made the customers really happy and overjoyed.

Maki was cleaning a table when she saw this. Kotori and Honoka was busy receiving orders and likes. Honoka had a talent for this as she naturally help out on the cafe for everything.

Umi was struggling to show a natural smile but she persisted since there were only handfuls of customers that was entering every 10 minute. She would help on other things if she does the miscellaneous things them she wouldn't shy but if it matters the customers then her work skills would drop 50% less. Until she gradually learn how to speak a few lines without stuttering and talking to them even with forced laughs and giggles, creeling out the customers.

In the end she persisted, there was still a week after the live performance so they had time to experience more on audience.

"Iyah, helping out here was good, not only we got some coupons but we get snacks and drinks too!!" Honoka popped her cola while her other hand was stuffing on some bread on the table.

"Don't be so unladylike Honoka-chan!!" Kotori criticize her but they only got the laughs of everyone.

Umi had calmed down and didn't realize she was accustomed to the maid outfit she was wearing.

"I survive at least, in the end it was still hard to speak in front without stuttering but I can probably get a decent performance if I sang a song rather than speaking." Umi consoled herself while she spoke what she was scared about.

"That's the way Umi-chan, we only need to do more things like this so we could improve our spirit!" Honoka raised her hands with food while she was going to stuff another bread in her mouth.

"I'm going to teach Kominami-senpai somethings before I go, Maki would join me, how about you guys?"

"Eh?, your teaching her, Kominami-senpai...how.." Honoka curiously asked but she got Kominami's scary stare.

"Do you have a problem" Kominami had a scrunched face while she looked at Honoka with a gangster eyes.

"Hi!!! no, I was just asking what the subjects Hiroto-chan would be teaching.." Honoka carefully said as she sighed in her heart.

'Crap, Kominami-senpai's really angry when I said that, she's an alumni so she probably…'

"Physics, she'll be preparing for the entrance exam the coming medical school examination..isn't that great??" Hiroto said with enthusiastic face.

"Don't be like that Kouhai, it isn't that good, and I'm not really the great person to hear their things said in others."

'Ayah, so scary..'

Everyone change their attire back to their normal school uniforms.

"Then, we'll go now, it's a bit late already, we thank you for giving us time in this Kominami-senpai and others as well." Honoka and co. said while bowing.

"Just say thanks to them and the manager as well, don't make me thank them, do it yourself." Kominami shrugged them off while she raised rr hands waving it.

"Right, then we'll go now." Honoka brought some snacks she was munching earlier.

"Be safe going home Honoka-senpai, Kotori-senpai and Umi-senpai" Hiroto said while waving at them.

"S-see you again guys." Maki said while she looked at the side without having a look but the three smiled at her antics.

"Off you go, help out again next time, well entertain you." Komimami licked her lips as she looked at Umi who got frightened by her gesture, she quickly got out.

"Bye…!" the two thanked the others before leaving the cafe.

Kominami looked at the silent Maki as she looked at her with intrigued expression.

"Your going to a medical school?" Maki curiously asked.

"Yeah.."

"Your a first year as well, same as Kouhai, then your my kouhai too, but I don't know how to say your name so I'll call you Ki-chan.."

"Don't call me kike that." Maki said while she got fl.u.s.tered.

"Why?" Kominami asked.

'It's because its too cute.'

"Why are you calling me like that, just because your an alumni doesn…." Hiroto felt the atmosphere going weird until he interrupted her.

"Let's start with the studies, I'll teach both of you."

"More like I'm going to study by myself and I don't know yet if your actually good at it." Maki didn't know yet how good he was at teaching physics so he just gave them both a high degree question.

"Well he's actually good, Ki-chan, don't worry.." Kominami assured her while Maki looked at him with 'hmm' look.

In the end, he taught both of them, like a flowing water, he spoke at them with accurate and precise words that can be easily understood by the others if they were mentally intact.

Maki gotten more curious about him. Not only being good at piano but also teaching and moreover a high degree of physics. Isn't what she aspired was to apply to a top medical school. If he knows more about one or more subjects, he could already qualify as a college student. Though she wouldn't say it since she would be embarrassed asking the male his own personal things.

Half an hour passed, Maki and Kominami gradually turned into study buddies and helped each other solved the questions Hiroto was showing. He was giving them college level questions. Maki was able to follow up since she good at studied and had a really good upbringing.

"What medical school would you apply?" Maki asked nonchalantly as she tries to answer the quick math examples Hiroto gave.

"Probably try with one of the best institutes…, I'm still deciding on things.." while Kominami was doing the same.

"You should try blah blah" Maki said.

"hmm"

After teaching both of them, Maki's mother had arrived. Maki was actually appointed for a cram today because her father was at home but in the end had allowed her not go since her mother told him that she had a study meeting. Seeing all of them discussing, she smiled.

'She already got friends, that's great.' Shio nodded while she waited for 10 minutes when they saw her as they waved at her. Shio talked for a bit to know each other, before heading out with Maki as they said goodbye. At the car,

"You should make your move, Maki, you'll get your prey taken from you."

"Mama!!, don't be like that..Were not in.."

"I'm just saying, he's teaching you as well in studies?, isn't that great not only he knows piano but he's great at studies as well, he's like your Papa when he's younger" Shio said the perfect qualities of the man she loved, she told their romantic rendezvous during her young years, butMaki she rolled her eyes but she had a blush since she was imagining herself with someone.

'Stop you brain, you will melt if you think more about him' Maki slapped her cheeks, and feel the pain as she cried out slightly.

She got reminded of her father.

"I said….that."

"But I-it's not like I'm not considering but I don't know yet." Shio found her daughter slightly sullen.

"..." Shio looked at her daughter, of course she knew what she was thinking.

"Don't consider everything as absolute, we just you study better so you can have a great future. It isn't a matter of talk to consider things like that for long, your still in the first year afterall."

"...."

"Think about having youthful memories rather than the future just like me he-he, and don't worry about him, I know his background." Shio laughed as she saw Maki looking at her.

From her interaction with Hiroto it isn't to say she had given her word for her daughter to him already. Maki's father was the only thing limiting them.

"You should talk to your father more openly, you always side to him but now your siding just in you rmama, talk to him when you decided in the future.."

Maki wanted to inherit the business they had. And her parents wouldn't have kids again so she was determined to get into a prestigious medical institute to succeed her father. But her mother wanted her to relax and be with Hiroto?, what happened in the world. Her father was the one pushing her.

"I'll help you talk to him if you need help, Papa was more understanding than you think, he's stubborn but he's a softy as well.." Shio said as she smiled.

"Then let's talk about Hiroto-kun"

"I don't want to talk about him.." Maki pouted as she looked at the car window.

"Don't always be like this to him." Shio said.

"But he always tease me." Maki looked at her hands and blushed.

"Because your expressions are cute."

"That's because he's a lecher and pervert that only know how to flirt with girls.".

"Have you seen him flirt with girls? If Hiroto-kun heard that, he'll get sad you know?."

"Mou, I have not seen him.."

"Mama is a bully, I hate you..." Maki looked

"He-he"
