The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten (WN) (Volume 5+)

199 - Service Practice and the Angel's Smile

"Welcome."

"Ugh..."

After the showoff, it was time to practice, but they could not.

Mahiru's work smile immobilized all the boys. They, who had volunteered to be customers, crumbled before the smile. The Angel's smile truly was terrifying.

Those that managed to survive the initial attack were led to their seats, and were shot down by another smile. Amane felt it would be terrible if she was not under control, and his face twitched.

"The Angel is really scary...Amane, go stop Shiina-san."

"That smile isn't at full power though."

"Wait, she's not going all out yet..."

"Stop watching the fun. This isn't a joke here."

Amane watched from the sidelines, and Mahiru's smile remained a little pretentious to him. It was truly because she was giving a business smile to appeal to customers. If she put in a little more effort however, the boys would surely crumble.

The girls too were mesmerized. The Angel's smile was super effective.

"...We can't practice service like this."

Kido could only give a wry smile as she observed on.

Amane was used to it, and might have underestimated the smile's probably because they were always together, Mahiru herself had a beauty and disposition that would mesmerize anyone, and he should have expected this beforehand.

"I think the serving part is fine...but we cannot cause our customers' heads to numb there."

"Sorry."

"No, this isn't your fault or Shiina-san..."

Kido said, and gave a thousand yard stare. Amane was really apologetic, but he was hapless.

"...We should have ordered some cold drinks."

"Yeah...make it all cool and icy here."

The classroom might be boiling thanks to Mahiru, and they decided to pay attention to the air conditioning.

"But seriously, it'll be troublesome if we don't control her."

"Yeah, the victims..."

"Ahh no, its partly because of the victims...but mostly because I'm annoyed."

Kido gave Amane a dumbfounded look once she heard these true thoughts blurted out.

"I don't want my girlfriend to start smiling at other guys, even if it's a business smile. Look, I'm petty alright."

"...Say, I thought you're rather matured."

"Hm?"

The sudden change of topic had Amane widening his eyes this time. Kido smiled, and looked up at him.

"I used to think you're more calm and poised, more adult-like compared to the other guys. To be honest, you seem a little inapproachable...but you're rather cute."

"Are you roasting me here?"

"No no no, I'm just praising you. You seem to act your age now. Uuu, like, I get that you're a guy since you're acting all jealous, and you really like Shiina-san, so I'm relieved to see that. Yeah, anyway, it's good...I'm not falling for you. Don't worry."

"What's that at the end?"

"Eh, Shiina-san's stare."

She's looking at us. The nonchalant words had Amane noticing that Mahiru was look.
