Do you know "YD"?
"Going out in a Yukata"
Yukata de Date?
"I love BBQ"
Yakiniku Daisuki?
Wrong!
I can only do what I truly Yearn to Do... That's me, Junichiro Kagami!
I am Koyomi Hiiragi, chairperson of Hiiragi Academy.
I'm here to recruit you.
Trying to best me in Akihabara was a real bad move.
You there, Irregular Twin-Tails.
You can't expel her. Cancel that.

"Dignity of Maids"
Proper maid dignity?
That's right.
If you don't understand, you have no right to expel her!
The concept of maids began in the 19th century.
In the Victorian era of the British Empire, maids were popular as symbols of wealth.
There were about 17 types of maids ranging from Housekeeper Maids to Step Girls.
The "maids" in the Maid Cafes are completely different.
Silly fakes.
I knew it. You're way off.
Wh-What do you mean?! Explain!
Are you sure?
If you let me teach you that, you admit that I'm a teacher.
The principle of this school is
to learn, think, and devise answers by oneself, leading to growth and richness of spirit.
Maid dignity?
I don't need to know what that is.
Working at a silly fake shop has to be against the school's principles!
For sure?
Are you sure? Can you swear to that?
But it has to be...
Are you sure?
Well then.
Welcome home, master and milady!
Why am I...
Um, I'm off then.
Kagamin!
Thanks for coming again!
Hey, manager!
This girl is the manager?!
Wait, big bro, you've been here before?
Um, once or twice maybe...
Kagamin has the unbroken record of coming home 50 times in a month.
He's our most esteemed Platinum Member. In fact he was here this morning too.
Is that so... Is this what you've been blowing all your cash on?!
W-Well, this place has a school motif, so I thought it'd help me get into the teacher mindset...
You lying pervert!
They get along so well
"Maid Cafe: Heart on Heart" "Special Live"
Anyway, back on topic...
This is the manager of this school-maid cafe, Heart on Heart.
She looks small, but she studied maids in England after graduating with me...
Hi! I'm Minami Kitayama, 17 years old!
17 years old!
Anyway, manager, I need to ask you a favor.
What is it?
Can you let Irregular Twin-Tails work here for the day?
Huh? Why me?!
You have to experience it yourself to learn proper maid dignity.
If you don't want to do it alone, my sister can join you.
What?!
Then there's no problem, right?
What kind of stupidity is this...
Chairperson, can you say something?
Hi masters and ladies at home today! Here is a school announcement.
We have two new maids entering our school today.
Here's Makkie-chan and Suzu-chan!
You knew she hates maids.
Why didn't you say anything?
That's because... well, I truly love it when she looks like that.
I... see.
Th-Thank you for waiting, master...
Here are your Golden Potato Fries...
Please enjoy...
Hey wait, Makkie.
These fries are missing something...
You forgot to cast the Deliciousness Spell!
S-Spell?
There, watch how your senpai does it.
It's her!
Become delicious! Moe moe kyun!
I knew it. She's...
I have to do that?! Me, of all people?!
Can I have my spell please?
I'm waiting!
I can't stand this!
You're not as tough as I thought, Irregular Twin-Tails.
Those fries...
I got Kiriko to cast her spell on these.
Now they're awesome. I should call her Potatoes.
That nonsense has nothing to do with maids!
Moe moe kyun!
I don't need to be able to do that...
Well, whatever you say.
But how does it feel to expel someone
who can do something you can't do?
You're boring... really boring.
Options really is amusing, but with someone like you at her side,
I'd say her plan will last one season, at most.
Stop right there!
I was just taking a quick break.
Don't underestimate me; I'm Makina Momozono!
I'm going back to work.
Wow, impressive.
Okay then...
Time to start the lecture.
--Be home soon! --Be home soon!
You don't have to be so tense.
You're allowed to do anything to make your master happy.
There are no rules here.
Th-Thank you for waiting...
Wow!
Rice in omelet! Your favorite, Takeshi.
Yeah!
Um, just one moment, master...
"To Takeshi"
Wow! Thanks!
You're welcome.
Check this out!
I don't want to ruin it!
Please enjoy, master.
Hey, I hope you don't think you've mastered it with just that little trick.
No, I, uh...
"Name on omelet" is totally basic for a maid.
Look, even my sister can do it.
Check that out!
There you are, master!
Wonderful! A work of art!
It's not only that.
Each one of your masters is different.
You have to correctly understand what they want
and meet those individual demands!
Wh-What are you...
Look, over there!
Um, can I, uh, have some orange juice...
Huh? Orange?
Well, um, it doesn't have to be that...
There ya go.
Can I, uh, have a glass?
Oh yeah, my bad. Here ya go.
How am I supposed to drink with this...
Are you always this picky? Here ya go.
Oh, um, thank you...
That's horrible service!
Pay attention!
Huh?
--Look how that master seems so content. --She is who she is, I guess.
That's right.
The manager can instantly understand what the master wants.
She's doing that on purpose.
Um, can you like, cast a spell...?
Oh yeah, totally forgot.
Become tasty. Okay end of spell.
Oh I'm being treated so badly...
But I kind of like it...
That's the work of the expert. Sometimes she ignores them,
--sometimes she plays dumb, --I'm so sorry!
--and sometimes she plays little sister... at her age. --I'm so happy!
She understands everyone's demands and can adjust her character to suit.
Real deep, isn't it?
How close can you get, Irregular Twin-Tails?
I told you, don't underestimate me.
I'm going all the way... to the end!
That's right. You did say that.
Moe moe kyun!
Oh wow, back again?!
Please come home soon, master!
So, how does a good day of work feel?
Irregular Twin-Tails, do you get what maid dignity is all about?
I guess...
Having the creativity and understanding to think outside the box,
--to make sure people have the best time during their visit? --Become delicious! Moe moe kyun!
--to make sure people have the best time during their visit? --Thank you for waiting, master!
How is that?
50 out of 100.
You already know what the other half is though.
If I remember correctly, Icho Academy principles were
"to learn, think, and devise answers by oneself, leading to growth and richness of spirit," right?
Well, yes, but...
Then why is Potatoes expelled?
Don't tell me "because it's against the rules."
That would make you sound like a forgettable character.
Shut up!
Even if that were true, maid cafes are maid cafes.
That's what society thinks.
I have to protect our school and its image.
She needs to be punished!
The decision has already been made!
Good, I like where this is going.
Our lecture continues.
Thus ends Part A.
We settle this in Part B, after the commercial break!
Hey, did you see that tweet?
Yeah, I saw it.
"Something happening at 9pm today, Izuzu Building!"
9pm tonight, right?
I guess I'll go check it out.
Do you wanna go?
I guess so.
Let's check it out!
"Something interesting"
Is this the place?
"is happening"
I wonder what's up?
Who tweeted that anyway?
P-Part B?
Yeah, that's right.
Irregular Twin-Tails, you said that you understand that maids could be good,
but society looks down on them,
and so you have to expel Potatoes to protect the school's image. Is that right?
If that's the case, then society's views should be changed...
...by her!
Huh? Whaaaaat?!
What is this about?!
Just watch, Irregular Twin-Tails.
All right, you can sing now.
Wow, that tweet really spread fast.
Look at the crowd.
Wh-What's going on?!
Now all you have to do is offer a perfect performance.
Then society's views will change overnight.
That's the Part B?! Are you insane?!
That's impossible! I can't do that...
Of course you can.
You're the "maid amongst maids," the legendary underground idol...
..."Cutter Girl," right?
You used to show up on NukoVideo anonymously, in a maid outfit.
Your moves were so sharp, people began calling you "Cutter Girl."
When I saw you at the school gate, I thought I recognized you from somewhere.
However, you never showed your face on video, so...
But, I was able to confirm by watching you work.
I'm sorry! I...
Stop, Miss Shikishima!
Is that true, what he said?
That you're an underground idol?
Why would you do such a thing...?
I... I always thought maid outfits were very cute.
That's why I started working here.
I was singing and dancing as part of the job,
but I started to genuinely enjoy performing.
So I secretly began doing those things, away from the workplace.
I'm sorry. I told you that maids must make their masters happy.
I was doing all of that to make myself happy.
I'm not the maid amongst maids like Mr. Kagami said.
In fact, I'm a failure.
A selfish failure!
Look at this!
That's...
Hey, Irregular Twin-Tails, here's the other 50 points.
"Great! Thanks. Superb! I'm coming again."
Can you say what you said, after seeing these pictures?
Hey, Potatoes, personally enjoying the happiness of others,
doesn't that sound awesome?
You can be proud of that.
You are an example that Akiba maids should look up to.
I set the perfect stage for you.
Let the masters around the world enjoy!
Stop right there!
Stop it.
If you stop now, I am willing to reconsider your punishment.
But if you go out there to sing,
you're done, for sure!
You singing won't make those things that guy said happen.
It won't change a thing!
You'll just make a fool out of yourself!
Don't let that NEET otaku ruin your life!
Don't believe what he says!
You know, I realized.
Getting kicked out of school won't kill me
but losing my way of life most certainly will.
Irregular Twin-Tails,
watch, as she changes reality!
Is this happening yet?
I'm used to waiting, but this is pretty tiresome.
It should be soon.
Wait, what's that?
There's a girl there!
Serious?!
I'm at your service, master!
Wow, her moves are crazy sharp!
And the videos too!
How are they syncing all of the separate screens on each building?!
Record this! You don't see this often!
Hey, what should I name the file upload?
Don't you know?
That's the legendary maid, Cutter Girl!
Wow...
Makina.
The video has over 10 million global views already.
10 million...
If you expel her now,
it might lower our school image...
Why...?
Why do you take her side, Chairperson?
You got it wrong.
I side with amusing students.
She was able to bring back her amusing self through meeting Mr. Kagami.
Mr. Kagami will show us...
...how amusing Japan can truly be.
And thus I end my lecture for today!
Thank you!

Hi, this is Kiriko Shikishima, aka Potatoes.
I had an awesome time singing my heart out in front of all those masters!
Next episode,
the baddest student of our school, Seijuro Nanami, goes on a rampage!
Mr. Kagami has to face off with him!
Period Five, "Monster of Icho Academy."
Don't worry, I know just the right person for this!
Huh? You were Mr. Kagami's student?
