Girl Next Door

Chapter Thirty-Six

In the next few days Kyosuke and Risa had been practicing with the rest of the baseball team for their big game coming up next week. When the weekend came though, Kyosuke was free to do what he wanted, so he was out into town that day running some errands. Once he was done, he intended to head back home. He had no plans for a rendezvous with Risa today, since they were all busy, and Kyosuke also heard Risa was taking a part-time job today, though he did not know what it was.

As he walked towards home, he received a text from Takeru.

Dude! Me and Ichiro are at the maid cafe right now. XD Come join us!

Kyosuke thought this must be some scam and that Takeru was only there to eye the maids, but he and the guys haven't hung out since that last time with the girls, so he reluctantly replied that he would come. Fortunately, he was still in the town, and he remembered where the maid cafe was located, since it was where he and Risa had their first date. He smiled at the prospect.

Kyosuke headed for the cafe and as soon as he entered, he was given a warm welcome by the maids, to which he replied with an awkward smile. He then searched for Takeru and Ichiro among the tables. He saw Takeru waving at him from a table next to a window. Ichiro sat across from him. Kyosuke walked over to the two.

"I was wondering if you were gonna come," said Takeru with a smirk. "Looks like you followed your manly instincts."

"So you really got me to come here for another journey into voyeurism, huh?" said Kyosuke with a sarcastic look as he sat down with the two.

"Heh, even better," replied Takeru with a devious grin as he pointed to a direction behind Kyosuke.

Kyosuke turned to see what he was pointing to. He was aghast at what he saw.

He saw that one of the waitresses was a girl with shoulder-length green hair who wore a pink maid's uniform, apron and all. He could hardly believe it was Mio.

"Is that who I think it is??" Kyosuke asked in a furious whisper, quite shocked.

"Hell yeah, it is," replied Takeru. "And she's not the only one."

Ichiro's eyes widened. "Y-You mean...?"

Takeru pointed to another direction, and Ichiro and Kyosuke looked and saw Yukie nervously waiting tables, also dressed in maid attire.

"Y-Yukie-chan??" said Kyosuke softly, still shocked. "Wait a minute... I-Is Risa here too? She said she was taking a part-time job."

"I'm not sure, but we'll find out," replied Takeru rubbing his hands together greedily.

"Whoa, whoa, wait a second, are you telling me you just got me to come here so we can stalk the girls?" said Kyosuke, lightly glaring at Takeru.

"No, no, no," retorted Takeru, smirking. "We're here as customers. Trust me."

Suddenly Mio approached the boys' table to take their orders.

"Hello, Masters," she said cheerfully, still not aware that she was serving the three. "Would you like to order now?"

"Yes, I would like a banana split please," said Takeru, and as soon as he spoke, Mio recognized him, and was greatly shocked.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?!" she hissed, so as not to embarrass herself in front of the other customers.

"We got hungry," replied Takeru with a wide grin, "so we decided to come eat here."

Mio looked at Kyosuke and Ichiro. They did facepalms as she did so.

From a distance Yukie saw the commotion and was shocked when she saw the boys being waited on by Mio. She covered her face with a round tray to hide from them.
