You accidentally made a promise to a Master?
Yeah, I totally screwed up.
He's been a fan of mine for a while now,
and when I answered him without thinking because the place was busy...
W-Will you really?!
Heh? Ah, sure.
Woo-hoo!!
What did you promise him?
There's that event this weekend, right?
I promised that I'd go on a date with him if he wins it.
Here at Maid Latte, going on dates with customers is forbidden.
I've done it now...
I totally brought this upon myself.
Basically, the problem is solved if he doesn't win, right?
I've got quite the sweet tooth, too.
But...
Let me handle this.
Off I go.
Is she sure they won't notice that it's me?
Don't worry. I'll totally prep you up into a Visual Kei type!
Hey there, Suzuna.
That's...
My Sis?
Bingo.
We want to know why you're here.
I was entering a parfait eating contest at a different café, then they told me there's another one here.
Quit joking. Only people who truly love Maid Latte are allowed to participate in this event.
That's right!
I figured the Moron Trio would attend, but I didn't think Shintani would come.
He's here!
He's totally pumped for it.
Good morning, Usui-kun.
Yo.
Looks like it'll be packed.
Check out the hall.
Sure are lots of interesting people here!
Sorry!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Sweet chiffon cake to go with your tea,
a lovely little cup cake.
Elegant yet gorgeous butterfly chocolat.
Thank you for waiting, Masters!
So cute!
It looks delicious!
Did he make these?
I knew it was going to be good, but when he makes it this cute looking...
Good job, Usui-kun.
Everyone loves the cute appearance and the taste.
I'm glad to hear that.
You can make a career out of this.
No way,
it's just a hobby.
Share some of your talent!
It's good!
I just have to eat more than Mr. I Love Erika.
We will win and...
Get that surprise...
I can't...
What?!
Kurotatsu!
The maids will punish the masters who leave leftovers.
Punish?
I'm sorry. I can't eat anymore.
He wants to be punished.
Really? Then it can't be helped.
Then please stay still for a bit.
A flick to the forehead?
Flick!
Everyone, please do not waste the food.
Yes, ma'am!
He's pretty good.
Thanks for the food...
We forfeit...
3 people remaining!
Just as I thought.
You're going to increase the serving sizes now?
You're such a sadist, Usui-kun.
Well, this makes things more...
Interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
When it comes to cake, you can't miss the strawberry and the whipped cream.
This is the "Short Cake with Maid's Heart".
Enjoy the love!
He's bringing this out at this stage?
The taste is different from one to another, but I've had enough sponges and whipped creams.
I can't hold it in...
Finally...
Curses...
It's over.
Bisanki-sama and Hinata-sama complete the plates!
Congratulations!
I've got nothing to regret.
From here on we have the decisive battle between the two.
I get to eat more?
This master seems to be ready for more.
I'm still hungry!
I will now announce what the surprises are.
Surprise 1 is homemade cookies by the maids.
Cookies, huh?
Surprise 2 is two maid special lunch gift certificates.
Lunch, huh?
Surprise 3 is a ticket for a photo shoot with any maid you like.
Oh, it was something like that?
Damn it! That's what we wanted!
By the way, who would you take your photo with?
I don't care who.
Then please pick your choice from these names.
If you choose a maid who's not here today, we will give you a ticket to take the photo at a later date.
Eh?
In that case...
Misa-chan!
It's just like the name of the girl I like!
What a wonderful coincidence.
Hinata-sama seems to be ready for this challenge.
How about you, Bisanki-sama?
Misa-chan?! What is she doing here?
I can't let any more guys from my school find out about this.
The winner will be the one who eats the Special Sweets fastest.
Please do not force yourself.
I'll do it.
I see. So she did take on the challenge.
Are you going to go easy on her?
She looked pretty full.
Going easy on her like that won't make the cake taste any better.
I'll make sweets amazing enough to send her to heaven.
Yeah, yeah.
Congratulations!
Yay!
I can't believe he brought out a whole cake in the end...
Misa-chan...
Why did Bisanki-sama work so hard?
Didn't she already accomplish her goal?
You all knew what was going on?
Nice disguise, but it stands out too much.
None of this is Misa-chan's fault.
She did it for me...
Let's explain it to the Chief later.
Yes...
Your appetite was unbelievable.
It's because every one of them tasted great!
Could you give us some feedback on the sweets you ate today, Master?
Oh, sure.
God...
It's painful...
I've been resting for nearly 30 minutes, and I still don't think I can move.
What to do...
What do you want to do?
Usui!
Why are you here?
Alright, dear. Let's not speak and throw up at the same time.
You really are an idiot, Misa-chan.
Take a nap if it hurts.
No thanks.
I'll lend you my lap.
I don't need it.
Hey.
If you don't want my lap, I'll punish you with something else.
Hey. This isn't fun at all.
I'm sorry, but I don't have the energy to deal with you.
Leave me alone for a while.
Did you want to pig out that badly?
What do you think you're touching?
Was that your tummy?
Why you!
It felt yummy.
Shut up!
Calm down. Considering how much you ate, of course you'd gain that much.
I'll burn the calories in no time!
You go, Misa-chan. Athlete maid.
Shut up, and stop playing around with me!
But you know, I wish you had a little more up here.
Shut up, you sexual harassment alien!
You don't understand how much I care!
You're always so...
I quit.
You know everything, don't you?
Damn you.
Did you just do something?
I don't know. Maybe you're imagining things.
Okay.
Misaki!
Let's go to an all-you-can-eat sweets event!
All-you-can-eat?
Sweets?
Sorry. I'm staying away from sweets for a while.
What? Don't tell me you're on a diet.
All-you-can-eat sounds savage.
Maybe next time then!
We'll ask you again.
The staff were pretty confused.
They don't understand why you wanted to win so badly.
What? You mean everyone knew that was me?
You thought you had yourself disguised with that?
Misaki-chan!
Shintani...
Come with me for a second.
What?
This way.
Did he catch on as well?
Do you play guitar at all?
Here it comes!
Do you walk around in black clothes with feathers on?
Oh, so that was someone else.
Then Misaki-chan, do you know what a maid café is?
No! Never even heard of it!
Really? Well, I went to one the other day for the first time and I was surprised.
But I thought girls would enjoy it more than guys.
I got a gift certificate, so I'll treat you to a nice lunch!
Go to Maid Latte with me!
Eh?
Over here.
This is the only way.
Let's go over the plan.
Misa-chan and Hinata-san will arrive together.
Misa-chan will go home first.
An emergency came up. You can have the rest.
You'll swiftly change into your maid outfit and disguise so he doesn't know you're Misa-chan.
Nice to meet you, Master. I'm Misa.
Nice to meet you, too.
Take the photo, and mission complete.
Yay.
Ready?
I make great disguises.
I'll have one ready.
Thank you very much.
Also, we're sorry about this.
I know you care about this place.
But you have your own reason why you have to keep it a secret, right?
Yes...
Then that's that.
We've gone through your parents to have you work here, too.
Come on, don't look so down.
Go back to the floor and work.
Yes.
Chief is so sweet, it makes me sick.
Good work today.
There goes Black Honoka.
Why is Takumi coming with us?
This is supposed to be our date!
Just so you know, I'm not paying for you!
Real cheap, aren't you, insignificant boy?
Usui tagged along saying he'd help, but I'm sure he just thinks of this as a way of killing time.
If there's anything you need, please let me know.
I'm here for ya!
Thank you, Erika-san.
I'm glad I chose today.
Thank you for waiting.
Regulars usually don't come during this event.
It looks great!
Only Usui knows that I work as a maid here.
It'll all work as long as he keeps his mouth shut.
Hey, there's a kid's menu.
I wonder if I can get this with the gift certificate.
No can do.
I never asked you!
Besides, why do you act like being with Masaki-chan is natural?!
Slap!
This isn't the place to be loud and screw around.
Behave.
What are you smiling about?
What is that outfit in the first place? Where's your uniform?
This is my part time job's uniform.
Good work.
I accidentally messed up my uniform.
You can work?
I knew you'd be more surprised than anyone.
I work at a gas station.
Do they feed you gasoline there? You have low mileage, so you must be a drain.
What are you talking about?
You don't make any sense.
Ah, sorry. You aren't the brightest, either.
I'm actually reliable at work!
I know! Come see me next time, Misaki-chan!
I want you to see how I am when I work, instead of seeing my former unreliable self.
I know you're different from how you were as a kid without having to see you work.
Oh, that's a pity.
You used to be a total slob.
Spaced out, wouldn't study, wouldn't work out, but ate like full grown man.
And a liar, too.
You-kun, you're eating snacks again, aren't you?
I'm not.
No lying.
I'm not.
You said you wouldn't eat anymore today.
I never said that.
You're so annoying.
That was a long time ago!
I don't lie anymore!
Yeah, you've changed.
You turned out to be a pretty passionate guy.
You-kun isn't the only one that changed.
It's due to your influence.
You were always hard working and you'd do your best at everything.
And you were nice, too, so everyone looked up to you.
Wow, such a lovely memory.
Quit sugarcoating things!
Some people didn't like me much and said I was picky and annoying.
Most of them were just embarrassed.
I mean, when you smile, you're so cute!
What are you saying?
Not just me. Ma-kun said it too, so it's true.
Ma-kun?
Oh yeah, the name rings a bell.
He came to see me with Shige once.
How did he do that when you were so far away?
Oops, sorry.
Don't worry about me.
What is this strange pressure?
Misaki-chan?
Ah, so anyways... Good luck with your work.
Yeah.
Oh, I heard you work, too.
What do you do?
Totally the wrong choice of conversation!
It's normal. Just an ordinary job.
Normal?
Like a convenience store or family restaurant?
Yeah. A restaurant.
Oh, so you're a waitress.
I'd like to see that.
It's nothing special.
Why?
You'd like to see it, too, wouldn't you, Takumi?
Wait, maybe you already have?!
Crap.
If Usui says he's seen it, the conversation would continue out of rivalry.
Please...
Just lie.
Misaki-chan?
Is something wrong?
Sorry. I have something to do.
Is she okay?
So he's someone that she doesn't want to lie to.
You said something, Takumi?
ZZZ...
She used to smile more.
You know.
I got in a car accident as a kid.
Both of my parents died then.
I didn't understand what was going on for a while.
Lots of relatives came and they were all crying and what not,
but it all seemed like it was something happening far away.
Every day felt insecure.
Grandpa says to come live with him, but there aren't any supermarkets or convenience stores nearby, so I don't want to.
He says I won't be lonely if we live together, but I'm not lonely now anyways.
I can eat all the snacks I want if I'm alone.
I wish he would leave me alone.
You're saying such nonsense again, Hinata?!
I've been looking all over for you since I didn't find you at home.
Grandpa!
Stop acting tough already.
I'm not.
I'm not sad or lonely alone, so you should go back to Grandma.
You can't lie about sad or lonely feelings!
Mom! Dad!
When the tears finally flowed, everything rushed in at once.
I'd never cried that hard before.
Grandpa saw it and cried again.
Misaki-chan may not remember it, but I can still see it clearly.
I'm sorry for hitting your cheeks, You-kun.
What Misaki-chan said to me, and the smile she showed me when I stopped crying.
She's the girl I've always liked.
Is that a declaration of war against me, You-kun?
If you feel the same as I do...
Asking him to lie... Just to protect myself as the President...
I intentionally chose to be both the demon president and a waitress at Maid Latte.
Oh, Misa-chan. That was faster than I expected.
I thought you were going to stand up in the middle of lunch.
Chief.
I need to keep my maid side hidden.
Check this out, Misa-chan.
You'll have a perfect disguise with this.
See? No one can tell it's you with this on!
Chief, actually-
Oh, the baby must be unhappy.
Do I have anything to lull him with?
Up you go!
There there, don't worry. Your mom will be back in no time.
What's this? You're smiling already?
You've got a great smile.
I'm sorry about the trouble.
Not at all.
Bye.
Sorry about that.
What? Takumi?
Here's your lunch.
Please take your seat,
Master.
Misaki-chan?
I'm Misa.
Misaki-chan, right?
Misaki-chan is Misa-chan?
You were working here?
Master, please quiet down.
You should have told me! Why did you lie to me?
Excuse me.
Will you please keep your hands off our maid?
Taku-
This is to apologize for my rudeness.
Do you like it?
You, too. A maid starting a commotion?
I-I'm very sorry.
Come with me. I need to give you a little lecture.
That was an interesting event.
Maid cafés are pretty fun.
I thought you were going to disguise yourself.
I was going to, but...
I couldn't lie to him.
I think that's very much like you.
Thanks for covering for me again.
Thank you.
You know, you're really...
Cruel.
Usui?
Misaki-chan!
Shintani. What are you doing here?
Takumi told me to come to the back of the café.
You both work here?
Well, Usui does... from time to time.
You look great in it, Misaki-chan.
You're so cute...
I'm seriously getting-
Like I said earlier,
If you touch Ayuzawa,
I'll bite you next time.
So you'd better be ready.
What's wrong with them?
Smart, yet completely unable to see what's obvious.
I so want to kick her ass.
Did something happen?
Honoka-chan's thinking of Misa-chan in her own way.
I'm sure.
Here's a sudden idea. How about we each use a unique way of talking?
How about adding something at the end of the sentence ~ho?
Honoka will say ~ho at the end of each line ~ho.
Then I'll say ~eri at the end ~erika?
The interrogative form works out nicely for you ~su.
I'll force it on ~gon.
We'll get used to it if we continue ~yu.
It's getting pretty difficult ~se.
It's pretty fun ~chi.
Good job, everyone.
Keep this up, and finish up the preview, please, Misaki-chan and Usui-kun ~Satsu.
Chief, you're crazy ~mi!
Usui, I'm leaving the rest to you ~mi!
Misa-chan's mama drops the fruits and the petty boy encounters magical maid ~usu!
