Chapter 41

At a certain maid cafe in Natsuhabara.

Hideo was sitting in a corner of this maid cafe, which was famous for its cute faces and attentive service.

Before he started his full-blown shut-in life, Hideo was a regular at this cafe.

However, even if he was a regular, it doesn't mean he received the kind of service that other regulars might get.

Quite the opposite.

Hideo was the most avoided customer by all the staff at this establishment.

It's only natural. Every time Hideo visited, he would constantly leer at and sexually harass the staff.

Even though he was afraid of getting caught by the police and didn't directly commit sexual assault, these actions alone made Hideo a nuisance to the store.

Sexual harassment and various disgraceful acts not only made the staff frown but also the visitors, making him extremely unpleasant.

As a result, he was banned from the premises about a year ago, and around that time, Hideo also began his full-blown shut-in life, so Hideo and this maid cafe were no longer connected... or so it should have been.

The reason Hideo is sitting in this maid cafe again now is extremely simple.

Because he hadn't shown his face for a year, the staff had been somewhat replaced, and the ban had become vague.

Well, even so...

"Hit!"

The staff member who brought the menu was a maid who happened to remember Hideo's face, and she made a surprised noise and scurried away to the break room.

'Hehe, I missed this. There ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠were a lot of annoying memories, but I still liked it because there were so many pretty girls here.'

How often did I use the maids here as wank material? So many times ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠that it's stupid to even remember.

Of course, each and every one of those fantasies was a terrifyingly hardcore play.

'Well, anyway, it's lunchtime, so should I order something to eat?'

Hideo looked at the menu.

A familiar voice came from above Hideo's head.

"Hey, you... what are you doing here?"

"Huh?"

Looking up, there was a bob-cut pretty girl wearing a cute miniskirt maid outfit, but with a rather dignified air about her.

It was a familiar face.

"Yo, Yuu. Long time no see."

"Don't call me by my name, it creeps me out."

Yuu snarled, contorting her pretty face in displeasure.

Her name is Nakajima Yuu.

The most senior and the face of this maid cafe.

At the same time, she was like an older sister to the many staff members of this maid cafe and the vanguard for dealing with bad customers.

Without a doubt, Yuu's influence was strong in Hideo being banned from this maid cafe.

"I told you clearly not to show your face in this cafe again. I thought you were someone who could understand, but where are you crawling in from again? Do you want to die?"

"Do I want to die? Isn't that too much to say to a customer?"

"Our cafe doesn't need customers like you. You're here for sexual harassment anyway, right? Then get out of here right now."

Hideo shrugged his shoulders at Yuu's prejudiced glare and retorted.

"What are you talking about? I just came to use this cafe. According to very fair rules... I won't do any sexual harassment, so don't worry. It's been a year, so I've changed too."

"A guy like you usually doesn't change even if he dies and comes back to life..."

Yuu didn't hide her contempt for Hideo, but she also thought it would be bad form to kick him out when he hadn't caused any clear problems yet, so she only gave a clear warning.

"Be careful. If you make even one sexually harassing remark to our girls, you'll see. I'll kick you out right away."

"OK~"

Hideo lightly agreed.

Sexual harassment? I don't do that kind of old-fashioned desire fulfillment anymore.

Hideo is now a respectable law-abiding citizen.

Yuu glared at Hideo with distrustful eyes, but she couldn't stick to Hideo and monitor him forever.

She turned around to warn the new maids about Hideo.

"She didn't even say 'Welcome home, Master' once."

There's no point in coming to a maid cafe if that's the case.

Hideo chuckled and took out his cell phone.

The contents of today's gacha were written there.

[Quest Title]: 10 Yen Maid Cafe

[Alteration Depth]: 1

[Quest Rules]

1. Kimoda Hideo can visit any maid cafe and 'designate' one of the maids at that maid cafe.

2. The 'designated' maid must be exclusively attached to Kimoda Hideo and serve him.

3. Kimoda Hideo can 'order' various sexual requests from the maid attached to him, and the price of the order is 10 yen.

4. If ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the maid is a virgin, the price of her virgin Vagina is exceptionally 100 yen.

5. The store may request restraint if Hideo's orders are deemed to be a major nuisance to other customers.

6. However, if Hideo obtains the consent of other customers after seeking their understanding, Rule 5 may be invalidated.

Another quest given to Hideo where he can directly choose a woman to violate.

The maid cafe that Hideo thought of as soon as he received this quest was, of course, this place.

It wasn't that he had any resentment about being banned.

To repeat, Hideo is a man with such a shallow mind that he can't even properly engage in the thought process of 'holding a grudge'.

If he 'thinks' about something, it's definitely only about how to ruin a woman and play with her for his own amusement.

The only reason he came to this maid cafe is simple.

Because there are many pretty girls here. That's all.

And now, Hideo has decided which girl to designate.

"Hmm, I guess Yuu is the best."

It's not because he hates Yuu.

It's simply because this quest is Depth 1.

If Hideo's experience is correct, a Depth 1 woman will feel vivid disgust ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠and pain from Hideo's actions.

Hideo thought that in order to properly enjoy the fun of such a Depth 1 quest, it's better to have a strong-willed girl.

For the sake of Hideo's entertainment, Yuu was chosen.

"Excuse me~"

When Hideo raised his hand and called a maid, the maid who was close to him briefly made a disgusted expression, but quickly put on a business smile and approached Hideo.

"Yes, what can I do for you, Master?"

This kid is keeping up with the concept properly.

"Well, it's nothing much, I'm going to make a 'designation'? There's a girl here named Nakajima Yuu, right? I'm going to designate her, so please tell her."

"Ehh, 'designation'..."

For a moment, the maid seemed unable to understand the word 'designation', but that was only for a moment.

Immediately after understanding it, she stammered with a darkly dead face and hurriedly bowed her head and said.

"Yes, yes! I, I'll go tell her right now!"

I want to get away from this man right now. A retreat filled with such determination.

Hideo spoke to the back of such a maid.

"Ah, wait a minute. It's a bit boring to just come, so I'll add a little extra order. So..."

※

Because it took time to fulfill Hideo's order, it was about 10 minutes later that Yuu appeared in front of Hideo.

"Geez, you're so slow. You can't make customers wait."

Hideo was putting on airs and making unreasonable demands to Yuu.

Yuu glared at such Hideo with bloodshot eyes and clenched her teeth.

"You, you... you... bastard..."

"Oh? Bastard to a customer? This maid cafe's training is too lacking. Your attitude towards customers is terrible."

Hideo made a 'very legitimate complaint as a customer'.

That's right. He only made a 'perfectly legitimate request' as a customer, but if he was cursed at, anyone would have the right to protest.

Yuu gnashed her teeth as if they would wear away, but there was nothing she could do.

"Well, I'll let it slide because that outfit looks good on you. Hehe."

That outfit looks good on you. Should I take this as a compliment?

What Yuu is wearing now is not the maid outfit she usually wears.

A red ribbon and black bra on her upper body. Only a short apron on her lower body. At this time, the apron does not cover her crotch. Underwear is prohibited in that state, so her femininity is visible at a glance, and below that are black garters and white stockings.

The maid headdress on her head was claiming, in an irritating way, that she was also a maid.

"It looks good on you, doesn't it?"

"Shut up, you son of a bitch! Ordering me to wear such a perverted outfit, are you out of your mind?!"

Yuu shouted, veins throbbing in her temples.

This outfit, of course, was not an outfit that Yuu voluntarily put together.

An outfit specially worn to please Hideo, according to Hideo's request.

For Yuu, who is extremely hostile to men's sexual harassment, it's a reality that she can't help but feel frustrated... or so it seems.

"Huh?"

Hideo tilted his head in disbelief and asked.

"So what? Did I do anything wrong?"

"Ugh... th, that's... not it... but..."

Hideo tapped the 10 yen coin on the table and pressed Yuu.

"Ha, I'm really speechless? Huh? I'm just exercising my legitimate rights as a customer as is~? Look at this. 10 yen. Huh? 10 yen. The cost to make you wear that outfit. I paid for it. But do I have even one reason to listen to your complaints? Huh?"

".............."

Of course not.

There is no such reason.

Hideo is a customer, and since he made a legitimate request as a customer, he didn't commit sexual harassment, so there's no reason for Yuu to curse at him.

But then, the resentment welling up inside Yuu has nowhere to go.

"Do it right. Got it?"

".......I....I got it... you don't have to be so annoying."

Hideo pointed out to Yuu, who clicked her tongue.

"Ah, and you've been just saying 'you, you' since earlier, but that's weird, right? This is a maid cafe, and you're a maid, right? So, what's the right way to call me?"

Yuu looked down at Hideo with the feeling of looking down at a cockroach, but eventually succumbed to the correct argument and called Hideo as he wanted.

"Ah, I understand, Master."

"Hmm. Very good."

Satisfied, Hideo patted his stomach and then patted the seat next to him. It was a sign to sit here.

She had been somewhat prepared for it since she was designated, so Yuu sighed as if a steam engine was releasing steam, and then sat down next to Hideo.

"Here, one order of omurice!"

After ordering omurice, a staple menu item at maid cafes, Hideo chuckled and whispered to Yuu.

"When the omurice comes, feed it to me. I wanted to try saying 'aah~'. Hehe."

"....I understand, Master."

I'm really feeling nauseous.

Are unpopular men originally like this?

Yuu couldn't understand who would like being fed 'aah~' by someone they're not even dating in the first place.

'But still, well... is this much okay?'

Considering all the disgusting sexual harassment that came to mind when she was designated, it might be fortunate if it ends at this level.

'Whatever you do, please finish it appropriately.' Please.

Of course, Yuu didn't know that would never happen. Or she underestimated it.

Yuu didn't fully understand what kind of man Hideo was.
