The Day After "Close Your Legs and You're Dead"
The day after she warned me that closing my legs would get me killed, I showed up for my first shift at the part-time job. When I opened the café door and stepped inside, the owner greeted me with open arms.
“R-Rua! You really came! I was so worried you might not show up that I couldn’t sleep a wink all night!”
“......”
To be honest, I had wavered a little that morning. Wearing a maid outfit for a part-time job… do I really have to do something this humiliating? But the lure of five times the minimum wage proved far too powerful.
“Well then, now…” the owner mumbled awkwardly. “The uniform…”
“Ah, yes…”
I slipped into the changing room and peeled off my clothes.
“Puhut. What a truly historic moment, my lady—this debut of yours as a common whore! To think a magical girl would willingly choose the path of a filthy cum rag!”
“Please remove your panties as well, madam! When your skirt flutters while serving, a fleeting glimpse of your pussy would surely delight the customers, would it not!”
“......”
I ignored Adel and hurriedly pulled on the maid uniform piece by piece. I fastened the headband, buckled the choker, and stood in front of the mirror.
“Those holes over the chest look ready to let your fat tits spill out! You resemble a bitch in heat, madam!”
“......”
The reflection staring back at me was far more obscene than I’d expected. The thought of actually working like this made my face burn with shame. Still, I repeated five times the minimum wage like a mantra and forced myself back out front.
“O-ohhh…!!” The owner gazed at me with rapturous emotion. “My long-held dream has finally become reality…! Ah, but first you should look at this…”
He handed me a single sheet of paper. It was the customer service manual. I skimmed through it, then learned how to brew coffee. The owner was incredibly serious about extraction; he explained every detail from timing and water temperature to the perfect way to capture the aroma.
I tried it exactly as he taught me, but it wasn’t easy. More practice would clearly be needed. That, however, wasn’t the real problem.
No customers were coming. Three full hours after my shift began, the café door hadn’t opened once. For me it didn’t matter—I was still earning five times the minimum wage even without working—but the owner standing gloomily behind the counter looked utterly pitiful.
“Um, boss?”
“Yes?”
“How do we get customers to actually show up?”
“That’s the question, isn’t it… The location just isn’t great.”
“Then maybe we could advertise online?”
“That would help, but…” The owner studied my face carefully. “We’d need to take photos and upload them… of you, Rua.”
Ah. Photos. My barely-dressed body in this slutty maid outfit would be immortalized across the internet.
It made me hesitate, but the café needed saving first. My parents didn’t use the internet anyway, so the chances of them seeing anything were basically zero.
“All right. Let’s take the photos and promote it.”
My answer made the owner’s face light up with gratitude again. “Th-thank you so much!”
He immediately fetched a camera and began snapping pictures. Click. Click.
“Bend your knees just a little more and smile. Ohhh, perfect.”
I struck pose after pose according to his instructions.
“What is this, some elementary-school play advertisement? You must lift the skirt and display your bare ass! Allow me to assist!”
“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
I shot him a murderous glare. “Hik!” Adel flinched and scrambled backward. He was properly scared of me now. Part of me felt satisfied, but another part felt a pang of guilt. Sera and Yerin already kicked and stomped him; if I joined in, it would feel too cruel. I should buy him some tuna cans later.
The photoshoot ended. The owner immediately sat down at the computer and began uploading the pictures to promote the café. While he worked, I cleaned every surface I could find—tables, windowsills, the works. Even after all that, not a single customer appeared.
“Rua, you worked hard. Go ahead and head home for today!”
Before I knew it, my shift was over. Despite zero sales, the owner’s face was radiant.
“Tomorrow the customers will come flooding in!” His expression glowed with pure hope.
Hmm. Well, we had posted the photos, so there should be at least some effect.
I returned to the changing room, shed the maid outfit, and changed back into my plain street clothes. Only then did my nerves finally settle.
“See you tomorrow.”
I bowed politely to the owner, gathered Adel, and left the café.
Adel and I headed to the nearby supermarket. I loaded the cart with tuna cans for him first.
“It’s your first day on the job, so I’ll buy you plenty as a treat.”
“Ohhh! You are most generous, my lady! From this day forth I shall serve as your eternal tuna shuttle and—”
“Keep talking nonsense and I won’t buy any.”
“It was a jest!”
While I was there, I grabbed snacks for my little sister Rumi and a few treats for myself.
“Let’s hurry home and eat.”
“Excellent! Tuna! Tuna!”
In a good mood, I wheeled the cart to the checkout—then froze.
“Ah.”
I’d forgotten my wallet.
“Ha! Coming to the supermarket without a wallet—what a hopeless, empty-headed bitch! If you have no money, then pay with your body instead!”
“No, I can just run home and grab it quickly.”
I smiled awkwardly at the cashier. “Sorry, I’ll put everything back—”
At that exact moment a voice cut in.
“I’ll pay for it.”
Someone stepped up beside me and handed the cashier a card.
“Huh?”
I turned. A woman wearing sunglasses stood there.
“Wh-who are you…?”
She smirked and removed the sunglasses. My heart plummeted. It was Sera.
“Kyaaaak!!” Adel shrieked.
Sera seized him by the head. “Shut up. You’re too loud.”
Crack. Adel’s skull crumpled in her grip. His wings fluttered wildly. I stood frozen, unable to move a muscle.
“What are you waiting for, newbie? Grab your stuff.”
“Y-yes…”
I frantically gathered the bags. “Let’s go.” Sera started walking, and I trailed after her like an obedient puppy. Running away never even crossed my mind; she would catch me in seconds.
When we reached the parking lot, the red sports car I’d seen before was waiting. “Get in.”
Sera opened the door, hurled Adel into the back like luggage, and slid into the driver’s seat. I meekly climbed into the passenger side.
“O great and exalted Lady Sera!” Adel cried. “Please deliver a thorough cunt-education to this worthless mat bitch who dared flee last time!”
Sera gave a short laugh. “Obviously that’s the plan.”
She fished a cigarette from her cleavage and lit it. Since she wasn’t transformed she couldn’t use magic, so she used a regular lighter this time. Flick.
“Haa…” She exhaled a plume of smoke and turned to me. “So, newbie. Why did you run away last time?”
“W-well… my father told me to come home early… and I had to eat dinner…”
Sera pinched my cheek and stretched it. “Cute.” It hurt.
“Whatever. I found you again, so it’s fine.” She stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray and started the engine. The low, aggressive roar made my heart lurch once more.
“Let’s finish what we started last time.”
The car pulled away. I sat rigid in the passenger seat, speechless. She hummed cheerfully and slid her hand onto my thigh again, fingers creeping steadily inward. I instinctively started to close my legs—
“Close your legs and you’re dead.”
“......”
Tears stung my eyes as I forced my thighs to relax. Shame and self-loathing crashed over me. Why do I have to endure this?
Soon her fingers reached my most sensitive spot. She pressed against the slit, then began rubbing in slow, deliberate circles. A strange, tingling heat raced up my spine.
“Nngh… hah…”
I tried to swallow my moans. Sera watched my reactions with obvious delight. Adel stayed deathly silent in the back. Inside the car, only my ragged breathing and the wet, slick sounds of her fingers filled the air.
The tires screeched as we finally stopped at her house. Sera slowly withdrew her hand. Her fingers glistened with my juices. She brought them to my lips.
“Lick.”
“Huh…?”
“You made the mess. Clean it up.”
Tears blurred my vision. I wanted to refuse, but courage failed me. I didn’t want to lick it, either. While I sat there trembling, lips quivering—
“I shall lick it for you!”
Adel lunged from the backseat. Slurp! He latched onto Sera’s fingers and sucked greedily.
“Ahhh, this is the taste! The thick, sticky pussy nectar of a magical girl! I cannot yield this treasure to anyone!”
“Ah, fuck.” Sera grabbed him by the throat. “This insane penguin bastard really has lost his mind.”
She started punching him. Thud! Thump!
“Quek! Kweeeh!”
Adel screamed with every blow. I panicked and tried to intervene. “S-stop! You’re going to kill him!”
“Good. This furball is completely useless anyway.”
Thud!
“Kyuuuek…”
“Please, stop! I’ll do whatever you want, just stop hitting him!”
Sera’s fist froze mid-air. She glanced at me.
“You’ll really do anything I say?”
“Y-yes… so please stop hurting him…”
By then I was crying without even realizing it.
“Pfft.” Sera burst out laughing. “This little shit means that much to you?”
“......”
I couldn’t answer right away. Did Adel matter to me? Honestly, I wasn’t sure. All he ever did was spout perverted nonsense. But—
Just now, when he licked Sera’s fingers in my place, it was clearly to protect me. I had been too scared to do it, so he stepped forward even though he was terrified of her. He had sacrificed himself for me. I couldn’t abandon him.
“He’s incredibly precious to me… so please stop. I’ll do whatever you ask…”
“Heh heh, good.” Sera tossed Adel onto my lap. “Get out.”
She opened the door and stepped outside first. I quickly checked on Adel. He was twitching, eyes glazed. He looked up at me with unfocused pupils, then his head lolled and he went limp. He had passed out.
Knock knock. Sera rapped on the passenger window.
“What are you doing? Not getting out?”
“......”
I clutched the unconscious Adel to my chest and hurried out of the car.
