That morning Yato had woken up with a splitting headache, a sore throat and the worst stomach ache he had had in a while. Yes, it was true: gods really could get sick. Yato wasn't particularly sure where he exactly caught the illness, but he had it now and he was miserable.

"Yukine," groaned Yato. "I don't feel good."

Yukine sighed as Yato sneezed. The blonde shinki pulled the blankets that had slipped off his master's shoulders back onto him and shook his head. Yato smiled as best he could at his young regalia and reached out to touch the boy's face. Yukine scowled and gazed at Yato's hand skeptically, before smacking it away.

"I don't want your sweaty, contaminated hands all over my face, Yato." Yukine hissed.

Yato's bottom lip stuck out at Yukine's response. The god of calamity rubbed his bloodshot eyes and yawned. He jumped when his phone started ringing. He quickly answered it.

"Hello! T'is...is Yatogagg...service...how...can...I help you?" Yato answered the phone with very slurred and almost unrecognizable words.

Yato nodded as he listened to the person on the other side of the line speak.

"Right...away...!" Yato sneezed and hung up the phone. "Yukine..."

Yukine glanced towards Yato, a bored look on his face. "What?"

"We have a job...but..." Yato looked around Kofuku's upstairs that was currently being used by Yato and Yukine as a living space. "I'm...sick..."

Yukine blinked a few times, "Yes you are."

"Can you please do it for me...?"

"What is the job?"

"It's a maid café...need you to work...because it's a "busy special day" and they need extra help..."

"A...maid café." Yukine rubbed his temples, "Only for five yen too?"

"Pleeasseee Yukine we need the money!" Yato begged.

"Ugh! Fine, only because you're sick."

"Thank you!" Yato weakly wrapped his arms around Yukine and began to rub his face over the boy's chest.

"Get off me! I don't wanna get sick too!" Yukine pushed Yato off of him and stood. "See you later, don't do anything stupid, Kofuku and Daikoku are out right now so you'll have to fend for yourself."

Yukine was given directions to the café, it was a walk but he made it eventually. He looked at the sign that read "maiden café". He knocked on the closed door, waiting for someone to come and open it because the shop was officially closed. A large burly man approached the front door and opened it.

"The café doesn't open for another hour." He grunted.

"Um – I – um...am here to help out..."

The man frowned and bent down to examine Yukine. He nodded and grinned, "You'll do just fine kid, come'on in!"

Yukine followed the man in, jumping slightly as the door slammed shut.

"So...what will I be doing?"

"We've got a big day today," explained the man. "lots of customers coming in for food sales and the maids. More so than other days, we're advertising a lot today so that we might win the award for best café in the area! But, one of my lead maids quit just yesterday and we don't got enough girls to fill the position, so that's where you come in, lad!"

"Huh?"

"What's your name, kid?"

"Uh – Yukine sir."
