The next day, Maid Latte.
Misaki Ayuzawa, dressed in a maid outfit, was looking at Takumi Usui, who was standing at the door, with a panicked expression.
"Why are you here, and through the main entrance!"
Stare… Takumi Usui didn't answer, he just stood there staring at Misaki Ayuzawa.
She didn't understand what he was trying to do! Was he here to make fun of her?
Just as Misaki Ayuzawa was lost in thought, the door of Maid Latte was forcefully pushed open, and a cute, large dinosaur squeezed in.
Uh… it was someone wearing a cute dinosaur costume who squeezed in.
"Wow! So cute!"
The other maids in the shop looked at the dinosaur that had squeezed in, their faces full of surprise, and were about to go forward and pet it.
"Oh my, you're finally here. Thank you, Zhong Chen-chan."
The Manager looked at the constantly moving dinosaur costume, and a brilliant smile immediately appeared on his face.
"What! Manager, who did you say?"
Misaki Ayuzawa felt like she had heard a familiar name and couldn't help but ask the Manager loudly.
"Little Misaki, it's Mr. Zhong Chen."
As the Manager's words fell, the dinosaur head was lifted, revealing Zhong Chen's handsome face, full of mischievous smiles, beneath it.
"Why are you here too!"
Misaki Ayuzawa looked at Zhong Chen on her left, then at Takumi Usui on her right, and felt her brain start to ache.
The two people she could handle the least had both come to her workplace, what were they trying to do!
"I'm telling you, Little Misaki, my being here has nothing to do with you. I'm also here to work part-time."
Zhong Chen shook his head as if to shake off non-existent sweat, placed the dinosaur head on the table, walked to the side, and held up a sign.
It read: "Maid Latte Today's Event: Dinosaur Theme Day."
"You shouldn't be short on money, why are you working part-time at Maid Latte?"
Although Misaki Ayuzawa didn't know how much money Zhong Chen had, he definitely shouldn't be reduced to having to work part-time.
Zhong Chen, however, pouted, puffed out his chest, and said with a proud expression:
"What's wrong with this Headmaster coming out to be self-reliant after school? It's definitely not for the sake of seeing maids that I'm working here…"
"Hey, you just blurted out your true feelings!"
"Oh well, forget it. Come if you want."
In the end, Misaki Ayuzawa gave up on questioning Zhong Chen. Anyway, that guy wouldn't leak her part-time job.
The main issue was this person, Takumi Usui.
"Welcome back, Master!"
Misaki Ayuzawa revealed a brilliant smile and spoke to Takumi Usui.
For a moment, it was as if countless sparkling stars surrounded Misaki Ayuzawa.
Takumi Usui looked at Misaki Ayuzawa, who was putting on an act in front of him, and couldn't help but turn his head away.
"Pfft!"
Hearing the laughter coming from in front of her, a vein involuntarily popped on Misaki Ayuzawa's forehead.
Such humiliation.
Zhong Chen, who witnessed this scene from the side, also suppressed his laughter and leaned next to the Manager, whispering:
"Manager, don't you think these two are a perfect match?"
"Oh! So Zhong Chen-chan feels that way too."
The Manager, dressed in a maid outfit, looked at Misaki Ayuzawa and Takumi Usui, who were standing face to face, with sparkling eyes.
"Hehe, I feel like there's going to be a good show to watch later…"
Sure enough, for a period after that, whenever Takumi Usui had free time, he would run to Maid Latte to seek Misaki Ayuzawa's service.
And Zhong Chen would always appear at the same time with various strange excuses.
These days continued until the start of the Seika High School Festival… At this time, Misaki Ayuzawa was standing in front of a group of student council members, giving a motivational speech.
"The School Festival has finally begun! Whether Seika High School can be completely transformed next year depends on your efforts."
"Show some spirit!"
Thinking that this was an opportunity to change the outside world's negative impression of Seika High School, the many student council members responded loudly with high morale.
"Yes!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
As the school opened, many junior high school students who came to visit Seika High School continuously toured various parts of the school.
Misaki Ayuzawa watched as everything was being displayed in an orderly manner, and her worries gradually subsided.
"It was indeed correct to be strict in order to be popular with girls."
And just when Misaki Ayuzawa thought everything would proceed normally, an unexpected incident occurred, as expected.
Misaki Ayuzawa arrived at Class 2-2, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a huge banner and the boys inside wearing various messy costumes.
"Burn! Man's Battle Cosplay Cafe," what a bizarre title this was.
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, Misaki Ayuzawa couldn't help but shout for a moment:
"What is going on here!!!"
Just then, a girl in a maid outfit ran to Misaki Ayuzawa with a panicked expression and explained:
"Just now, the boys suddenly came and said that this place had been occupied by their army."
"What does that mean?"
As Misaki Ayuzawa looked puzzled, Takumi Usui's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"It means that the Man's Battle Cosplay Cafe looks very interesting, and I've joined it too."
Misaki Ayuzawa turned her head and looked at Takumi Usui, who was dressed as an airline captain, and her small face couldn't help but blush.
However, after a moment, she quickly retreated, followed by a wild crackdown on the group of boys.
In the end, the boys, annoyed by Misaki Ayuzawa's authoritarianism, all declared that they would no longer participate in the School Festival.
Misaki Ayuzawa looked at the departing backs of the crowd, remembering something Takumi Usui had said to her.
"You should occasionally listen to the boys' opinions…" "Wait…"
Looking at the boys who were still leaving, Misaki Ayuzawa couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Please wait!"
"Please help make the cafe a success! I beg you!"
The group of boys looked at Misaki Ayuzawa bowing. Although they felt a little unbearable inside, thinking that all their ideas had been rejected, they all spoke up and said:
"It's too late now."
"Exactly, I won't go back to help."
"Anyway, she doesn't listen to our suggestions."
Listening to everyone's discussions, Misaki Ayuzawa had no choice but to finally glance at the group with tears in her eyes before turning and running into the classroom.
Takumi Usui, however, had been watching Misaki Ayuzawa intently from behind the crowd.
"Heh heh, very good. To bully Little Misaki like this, it seems I'll have to teach you a lesson."
Zhong Chen, sitting in the Headmaster's office, looked at the scene from the water mirror, and a cold sneer involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zhong Chen didn't care if Misaki Ayuzawa had gone a bit too far. He only knew that anyone who dared to bully his people would have to pay the price.
Even if this incident allowed Misaki Ayuzawa to grow further, it was unacceptable.
Just as Zhong Chen was about to act, Takumi Usui in the water mirror had already pulled open the classroom door.
"Oh? Usui-kun, are you going?"
Listening to the male student's question, Takumi Usui tilted his captain's cap and said with a smile:
"After all, it's the President's request!"
After speaking, he turned and walked into the classroom.
"Hmph, you acted fast, otherwise I would have punished you too!"
After speaking, Zhong Chen took out a small disc, pressed it gently, and Testarossa's figure immediately appeared before Zhong Chen.
"Oh my, what a rare guest. Master actually contacted me proactively. Weren't you exiled to the New World by Sakuya to reflect?"
"Hehe, how about it, want to come and play in the New World? It's a lot of fun…"
Testarossa looked at Zhong Chen, who was full of anticipation, took a sip of black tea, and then responded softly with a smile:
"Okay…"
