If anyone could hear Hinata Rion’s thoughts, they would definitely receive this kind of answer.
Hayakawa Kashi: Hello, yes.
Asano Nazuki: Hi, I’ll have one too when I grow up.
Shirakawa Sawahei: ? (indicating that the enemy has vanished)
Shirakawa Sawahei: ? (indicating that the enemy has vanished)
Asano Nazuki: (Shirakawa Sawahei) has muted all expressions and marks
Hinata Rion chuckled and said, "Ah, Jin, you actually misunderstood me. I just wanted you to try on the costume during the interview to show off the vibe of our cafe. I didn’t mean for you to wear the uniform while you work."
"Isn’t that the same thing!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin said tearfully.
"How about this, I promise not to take any photos or keep any records, just let the image of you in a maid outfit live in my mind!"
"Also, the kitchen job is yours on the spot!"
Ise Yu Yuzhijin stopped crying immediately and asked skeptically, "Really?"
"Would you really give me the kitchen job without considering Shirakawa’s objections?"
"Of course! We are good sisters~ How could I ever ditch... lie to you~"
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
"Could you at least avoid doing it in front of the person you’re selling out?" Shirakawa Sawahei sarcastically remarked.
"Don’t worry! Mr. Shirakawa, you have a new job!"
"If it involves wearing a maid costume, I refuse."
"No need!" Hinata Rion lowered her voice, "Actually, if you can convince those two ladies to join our cafe, I can pay you even if you don’t work~"
"That’s too difficult." Shirakawa Sawahei replied without a second thought.
"Eh? Mr. Shirakawa, you won’t even give it a try?"
"Clearly a dead end, so why should I try?"
Hinata Rion regretted it, "Then... just help persuade them to wear maid outfits and join the interview for me!"
"I will pay them for it!"
"Afterwards, I’ll arrange a job for you that doesn’t require wearing a maid costume and isn’t very tiring!"
Shirakawa Sawahei hesitated a little: "Only the one with the big chest."
"What are you guys plotting?" Ise Yu Yuzhijin suspiciously poked her head over and said: "I have a feeling you’re up to no good..."
"Nothing. Jin, hurry up and change clothes! The interviewees are almost here!"
Ise Yu Yuzhijin: (;′⌒`)
Being a considerate and caring friend as a beautiful girl is really hard...
While Ise Yu Yuzhijin went to change into her uniform, Shirakawa Sawahei pulled Tsukimi Sakurazawa aside.
For someone as thick-skinned as Tsukimi Sakurazawa, Shirakawa Sawahei straightforwardly said: "The tutoring session was suddenly canceled."
"We’re going to a maid cafe interview now, do you want to join in?"
Tsukimi Sakurazawa: (oﾟ▽ﾟ)o
Shirakawa Sawahei gave Hinata Rion an OK sign.
Sister Tachibana Chiboku who was brought along by Shirakawa Sawahei seemed to caught Hinata Rion’s interest greatly, she kept asking this and that. Tachibana Chiboku was so shy with strangers that she could hardly answer any questions without stammering, so Shirakawa Sawahei pulled her protectively behind him.
"Ise Yu will come out soon." He said.
Hinata Rion’s gaze was drawn to the door, but the one who emerged first was Tsukimi Sakurazawa, a top fighter.
The maid outfit, which balances between conservative and enticing, was worn in a way by her that gave it an impure look, the black and white theme was notably striking, with lace trim on the sleeves and intricate patterns on top.
If put up for sale, this maid outfit would be an expensive cosplay costume.
Hinata Rion looked at the long-legged big-breasted beauty in front of her and silently gave Shirakawa Sawahei a thumbs-up.
Tsukimi Sakurazawa showed no sign of a girl’s shyness or restraint, and after putting it on, she happily asked: "Does it look good?"
"Not bad." Shirakawa Sawahei placed his hands on the table, to show his innocence.
Tachibana Chiboku blushed, turning her head to look elsewhere.
"It’s perfect." Hinata Rion said seriously, "Little sister, you might as well naturally be a maid costume rack."
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
Don’t talk nonsense! Obviously, you’ve been blinded by the chest and long white legs!
Ise Yu Yuzhijin also quietly sneaked out.
Unlike Tsukimi Sakurazawa, who could wear pure clothing in an impure way, Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s figure, although similar to hers, perfectly accentuated the maid outfit’s advantages, looking both cute and alluring, with an unbelievably beautiful aesthetic.
"How...how is it?" asked Ise Yu Yuzhijin.
Hinata Rion pretended to pull out her phone.
"Stop her! Stop her!" shrieked Ise Yu Yuzhijin, "Shirakawa, grab her phone and smash it!"
Shirakawa Sawahei wasn’t daring enough to smash the boss’s phone, so he just took Hinata Rion’s phone and passed it to Ise Yu Yuzhijin.
"Darn it! Jin, you’re so cute in that outfit! Why can’t we preserve it!"
"Pfft!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin scoffed, "Sister Rin, why don’t you try it on yourself."
"If you wear it, I might consider taking a picture with you."
Hinata Rion thought for a moment: "Sure, I’ll give it a try."
"After all, the interviewees are all girls, so there’s nothing to be shy about!"
With that, three girls in maid outfits sat in the chairs of the interview room, starting the employee interviews for the maid cafe.
"Should we turn the chairs from them, and if it sounds good, spin the chairs around?"
"Neon Voice huh! That sounds fun!"
"There are no buttons! Shirakawa, go find some buttons~"
"Overruled." As one of the few sane people in the room, Shirakawa Sawahei rightfully rejected the idea.
"Next up, the first victim...um, interviewee!"
A girl with waist-length hair walked in.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Koyama Haruko, I’m twenty years old, and have previously worked at ’RUIX’ cafe and ’IUe’ cafe. I saw your cafe’s job listing and found it interesting, so I wanted to join you."
This waist-length-haired girl, whose voice was gentle as water, had a bit of a Yamato Nadeshiko air about her and was older than most of those present. According to her resume, she had extensive work experience, making her a good candidate for the job.
"You’ve written in your resume that you’re interested in the barista position... Just to let you know, baristas here also wear maid outfits," Hinata Rion said, switching to work mode, no longer joking around with Ise Yu Yuzhijin and others.
"That’s no problem, I am prepared to work at a maid cafe," Koyama Haruko replied softly.
"Great, could you briefly explain your understanding of otaku culture?" Hinata Rion asked.
Rephrased, this question was essentially asking the Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl in front of them:
