Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

"But in reality, even if you wear a maid outfit yourself, you can't enjoy the service of the maids. Without the heart to serve, even the prettiest maid is just cosplay."

I quoted Miss Melissa's words and looked at the other maids in the shop.

"Even if everyone becomes a girl, people can still come to the cafe to enjoy service and relieve the stress accumulated in daily life."

"Lady Miluno is indeed a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart!"

"So cool! He's always doing the right and meaningful things!"

"In comparison, we who are stagnating are truly..."

"Lady Milno, I want to take a picture with you!!"

Although surrounded by the noisy young lady, the voices in my head were still crystal clear.

“Miluno, Yang Wang said she ‘saw’ it.”

This is Miss Terra's report.

That catgirl's magic allows her consciousness to move freely within a ten-meter radius.

This is her power when she was a negative variant, but it became magic after she became a magical girl. Her function is similar to Terra's, but there are slight differences.

Terra's attention is focused on the entire store, upstairs and downstairs, and even the area around the maid shop;

However, the catgirl's consciousness was always by my side, so she reacted faster and could secretly monitor the magical traces around me at all times. This is why I asked her to help.

"The power of the sourceless magic is manifesting; that live stream is probably about to begin."

Has it finally arrived?

That jerk who secretly took photos was late today...

No, it's because this side started earlier that she missed it?

In some ways, she is quite punctual.

Before long, the young ladies started scrolling through their phones, clearly watching the live stream, adjusting their angles, and even the young lady who ordered food was holding her phone and watching my face in the live stream.

"I want a fruit pie, a snow-topped mocha, and... a kiss from Lady Milno!!"

"Understood, Miss."

After delivering the order to the kitchen, I added, "I'll come back and give you a kiss when your food arrives."

Ahem, just a disclaimer.

The so-called kiss is a quick "kiss" as the food is served.

To make this kiss look more worth the price, I'll use light magic to add a few tiny special effects, just like paying to watch a light and shadow magic show, the kind that's never the same.

However, even though I'm right here, this young lady is still watching the live stream and ordering.

Wouldn't it be faster and clearer to look up at me?

Is it because you're too shy to make eye contact with me?

As they speculated about the reason for the young lady's shyness, Mono's noisy voice came through Terra's telepathy again.

"The contact with Ptolemy! She and the hacker alliance she organized have started working. They said there's plenty of time today, and they must find a way to locate that supercomputer!"

Betelgeuse is obviously also there...

Did the undetectable and undecipherable supercomputer ignite their competitive spirit?

But I don't have much confidence in that area; after all, it's technology from the time of our ancestors...

"They contacted Avalon's technical experts for assistance in locating the location, right?"

Hmm, a technical expert from ancient times?

That might actually be a chance.

If I can pinpoint the location of the supercomputer, then all I need to do is seize it to stop the perpetrator from spreading my photos or livestreaming.

Ultimately, it was a treasure I dug up from the very bottom of the world's center...

That was my treasure; I just brought it back.

Let's temporarily return to the maid café.

Several groups of customers had come and gone without us noticing, but there was still a long queue outside, even though it was the dead of winter...

Among the guests were some internet celebrities and media reporters, making for a rather diverse group. They weren't necessarily my fans; they might just be there to ride the wave of popularity or create news. But I had to treat everyone equally to avoid giving anyone cause for criticism.

Although it was the last day, I was becoming more and more skilled at entertaining the young lady.

I have a thick skin, so even if I feel ashamed, I won't show it. In a way, I'm quite suited to working in a maid café where you need to overcome your shame...

No, it's not suitable.

If you can't put on a friendly smile, you've already lost.

But whether it's "improvised singing and dancing," "love kisses," or "using magic to make food taste better," I can openly engage in any of the embarrassing services offered on the menu.

They even use magic to add special effects. Can other maids do that?

Kagerou might be able to do it, but her special effects are a bit too much for a young lady.

Speaking of the other maids, Miss Locust displayed amazing... professional skills?

As expected of the leader of a small group running a water bar in a lunar city, he is not only quick and efficient at his work, but also always greets customers with a smile.

Ms. Koito has also taken over the bar at the café, and her flair bartending (mixing milk tea) in a maid outfit is quite dashing.

In addition, Sofia's performance was also surprising.

Just as Locust said, she acted normally in front of the guests, or perhaps she wanted to prove me wrong for looking down on her. Not only was her service excellent, but she even showed a warm smile that I had never seen before...

But occasionally, when their eyes meet mine, they still make a slightly unhappy expression.

Even in my home turf, Sophia attracted the attention of some young ladies. There was no way around it; after her "sanctification" (plastic surgery), she became a veritable white-haired, red-eyed loli...

Not difficult to understand.

This appearance comes with a built-in special attack bonus.

Chapter 395 Clues

Another day of business has come to an end.

The perpetrator who took the photos also finished his live stream on time.

Perhaps I've gotten used to being a maid. Today, even though I started work early, I didn't feel as tired as before. After all, what usually makes me feel tired is only mental fatigue.

"Everyone has worked hard, Kubo!"

The country girl owner of the maid café was stuffing money into my hand with a grateful expression.

A large bundle of cash, heavy with cash, probably worth tens of thousands of yuan.

"Lady Miluno, you absolutely must accept this! You've saved this shop!!"

"But that's all I can do to help. How well this store fares afterward depends on your own business skills... As for the money... I'll accept it."

Without making excuses, I put the cash into the storage space of the Heart of Light.

"You actually accept it!?"

When Yangyan complained like that, I immediately retorted, "What are you talking about! I've put in so much effort for this store these past few days. Do you know how tiring it is for me to fawn over my fans? This is my well-deserved reward, don't you understand!"

The delighted store manager surrounded me and said, "We will do our best to provide the best service experience for our ladies! It might be too late today, but could we treat Miss Miluno to a luxurious meal tomorrow?"

The "luxury meal" mentioned by the rich second-generation must really be luxurious, right?

Unfortunately, I've already decided on my destination for tomorrow.

At the European Rocket Launch Center in Guyana, I will board the most advanced lunar spacecraft to travel to the moon and check on the situation of the lunar city...

Of course, this is only the stated reason.

"Sorry, I'll be very busy after this."

The store manager scratched his head and said with some regret, "Then you can contact Kubo anytime you have free time!"

After leaving the maid café, despite it being late at night, I didn't go straight home, but instead was teleported to Ptolemy's cell.

With the remote assistance of Avalon's technicians, they seem to have made some progress, but they can only say so with Terra present, so let's go over and talk in person.

------

"Yo, good evening."

I led Mono and Terra through the teleportation portal.

Although it was the middle of the night, the glow of the computer screen still illuminated half of the cell, with only Gong Ling's bed hidden in the darkness... This old man, who could turn into a ghost, had a very low presence even without magic, and I couldn't find her outline in the darkness at first glance.

"Miluno, I want to stay in jail here."

Clutching his laptop, curled up on the bed, Betelgeuse burst into powerful remarks as soon as he opened his mouth.

"...What are you doing?"

"I want a single cell, with meals provided every day, and a high-performance computer with internet access would be even better, but if not, I can build one myself..."

Ptolemy's top-notch hacking skills granted him special privileges; unlike other prisoners, he didn't have to go to bed on time, and even if he stayed up all night, no guards would knock on his door.

This is an enviable environment for Betelgeuse.

"...Calm down, prison isn't a place for you to stay at home."

"Oh! It's a little dumpling!!"

Mono seemed to have discovered something. She pounced on Betelgeuse, reached between its breasts, and pulled out a black jelly ball.

This dark, round thing is a part of Azura, which was given to Betelgeuse as a reward. It's easy to raise, and you can even put it into your body...

There wasn't much darkness in the dango, and her intelligence wasn't high either, so Michelle didn't treat her as a human, and she didn't become a magical girl in the new world.

"You think it's a teddy bear?"

It was known long ago that Betelgeuse liked Azura.

"So, the location of the supercomputer has been found?"

Ptolemy looked at Terra and asked, "Could I ask this young lady for a favor?"
