They all have hidden attributes!

Putting aside the question of why the mechanical maid in the future would possess magic, Makoto Takahashi only felt awkward when such a story, common in light novels, actually happened in his life or when he had to do it himself.

It's also possible that he and Uesugi Maya simply couldn't fit into the atmosphere.

While waiting for the omelet rice, another table of customers ordered an unnamed set meal. All the idol girls in the store gathered around his table and sang a simple nursery rhyme together.

After undergoing a mysterious magical ritual, Hanakawa Kaori finally got to eat omelet rice as she wished.

"The taste hasn't changed much, it's just ordinary omelet rice, similar to what you'd find at a family restaurant." She commented quite realistically, as if she wasn't the one who had just been having fun.

Makoto Takahashi turned his gaze away from Hanakawa Kaori and towards Uesugi Maya.

After going through the whole process, she still had a straight face, but judging from her slightly empty eyes, she was obviously also a little embarrassed and empathetic.

As someone who is dependent on Uesugi Maya, Takahashi Makoto feels it is his duty to help her overcome her psychological barriers.

"Ah Ye, should you go first, or should I?" he asked seriously.

"Why must humans make things difficult for themselves?" Uesugi Maya just wanted to run away.

"Then I'll go first."

Makoto Takahashi took a deep breath, turned to face the idol, and was about to raise his hands when the idol, who had been watching this direction, walked over:

"Yes, Master. What do you need?"

Having saved himself a lot of trouble, Makoto Takahashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at Maya Uesugi's expression out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt like laughing.

"Please give me the Pink Meteor Shower Set Meal."

"Okay, order placed for you~"

Makoto Takahashi suppressed his embarrassment and completed a similar procedure to the one before, and finally it was Maya Uesugi's turn.

He looked directly into Uesugi Maya's eyes with encouraging eyes and slowly said, "Maya, it's only natural for humans to be afraid of shame. However, I won't laugh at anyone who wants to overcome shame. The more embarrassed you are, the more you will grow."

Uesugi Maya gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment, and she looked like she wanted to hit someone.

"Go, Maya-nee! For your brother's birthday!" Hanakawa Kaori raised her fist to cheer her on.

Maya Uesugi's pink lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to resist, but Makoto Takahashi threatened her with cat food: "Speaking of which, we don't have any ingredients left to make cream puffs at home."

Faced with the blatant threat, Uesugi Maya glared at him with a face full of shame and indignation, then looked at the busy idol girl, her ears gradually burning.

Under Makoto Takahashi's gaze, she slowly raised her hands, pursed her lips, and said in as monotone a voice as possible, "Meow~"

It's so cute it's almost unfair, but it's really not good for your heart.

Makoto Takahashi raised his hand to his chest and greedily urged, "Idol-san doesn't seem to hear me, shall we do it again?"

“She’s a maid, brother,” Hanakawa Kaori said, her mouth full of a spoon.

"Let's do it one more time." Takahashi Makoto's eyes were eager.

Seeing his excited expression, Uesugi Maya took a deep breath and said in a cold, almost monotone voice, "Meow?"

Her long, drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and her caramel-colored eyes were adorned with a hazy shyness, making her incredibly adorable.

"Yes, sir, here's your order."

Makoto Takahashi's attention was entirely focused on Maya Uesugi, and he didn't notice where the idol girl had suddenly appeared from.

"Terrible, scum, go to hell."

After scolding Takahashi Makoto and adjusting her mindset in this way, Uesugi Maya said to the idol girl, "Unicorn beginner's set meal, iced cola, and Demigras-chan."

"Okay, so next, hey ho—"

The idol girl began her operation, and Makoto Takahashi stared intently at Maya Uesugi, afraid of missing a single detail and wanting to firmly remember her cuteness.

After all the procedures were completed, he leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling, and said peacefully, "I will remember what just happened, and never forget it."

"Dirty."

Maya Uesugi stomped hard on Makoto Takahashi's foot from under the table, grinding it with the tip of her shoe: "Forget it, forget it, forget it."

Unfortunately, her spells, like the mechanical maid's rituals, lacked magic.

Once the atmosphere had eased a bit, Miss Idol brought over a set meal for two.

Makoto Takahashi's set meal consisted of takoyaki and yakisoba, but no drinks. Maya Uesugi reached out and handed him an iced cola, which he pulled open and swallowed.

“Now I’m going to draw something on it for you. Is there anything you’d like me to draw?” Miss Idol asked.

"octopus."

"Okay, I'll draw an octopus for you~ Do you like octopuses?"

"I guess so." Uesugi Maya flicked her long black hair over her shoulder.

After overcoming the most embarrassing part, the rest of the maid cafe was a breeze.

Before leaving the store, the three of them took a Polaroid photo together, refusing the idol's company, and took the photo with them.

Perhaps because the cartoon octopus drawn by the idol was so cute, apart from Makoto Takahashi, no one else was scolded by Maya Uesugi.

Leaving the maid café, the three strolled along in the dim light cast by the streetlights.

"Maya-nee, do you feel like you can sing now? How about we try karaoke tomorrow?" Hanakawa Kaori's crystal-clear purple eyes sparkled with hope.

Makoto Takahashi is also keeping an eye on Maya Uesugi.

"It's not clear yet. I'll think about it and get back to you tomorrow."

After speaking to Hanakawa Kaori, Uesugi Maya turned to Takahashi Makoto and said in a nonchalant tone, "Come to my room tonight."

Chapter 234 The End of the First School Year

The trees lining the streets in the residential area still bear traces of rain, with water droplets occasionally falling from their leaves.

The air was cool, and a layer of mist still hung above the tall buildings.

pat.

A girl with long black hair walked expressionlessly beside Makoto Takahashi, her black round-toed leather shoes splashing water as she stepped across the wet pavement.

As Makoto Takahashi gazed at her profile, he pondered how to accept Maya Uesugi's invitation to her room that evening.

Tatsumi doesn't like to play with others, but when she falls asleep, she likes to cling to me like an octopus. The only way to avoid being discovered is to apply for permission in advance.

Unless, we can find a way to exhaust the young lady after dinner...

"What lewd things are you thinking about while looking at me?" Uesugi Maya gave her a disdainful look.

Makoto Takahashi snapped out of his thoughts and looked back at the road ahead: "Really? Actually, I was thinking about what kind of dish to make for dinner."

"It's my turn to cook dinner today."

"I remembered it wrong."

"Ha, his head is full of lewd thoughts."

Uesugi Maya gave him a look that said, "I knew you were up to no good." Takahashi Makoto just pursed his lips and didn't argue back; he was used to being scolded.

With only a few steps left to go home, the two didn't bother chatting about anything else.

"I am back."

Stepping into the warm yellow light of the entryway, Makoto Takahashi called out towards the living room, and Yuki Tachimi's sweet voice came from inside: "Welcome home."

"I'll go make dinner." Uesugi Maya took off her school uniform jacket and headed straight for the kitchen.

She never greets anyone when she comes home, just as Tachimi Yuki never comes out to greet her.

Is this considered a case of "kings not meeting kings"?

Makoto Takahashi followed Maya Uesugi into the kitchen, and the sight of her putting on an apron over her school uniform was endlessly captivating.

He tied his long black hair behind his head with a hair tie, looked forward, and relied entirely on his hand reaching behind his back to tie the knot, his movements fluid and graceful.

Makoto Takahashi opened the refrigerator, took out a peach, and asked Maya Uesugi to cut it into pieces. The next second, she had already pulled out a fruit knife and was dancing on the cutting board.

After taking the peaches, I went to the living room, where I found Tachibana Yuki sitting in the center of the sofa, wearing light blue cotton loungewear and holding a game controller.

Instead of a variety show, the LCD TV screen was connected to a game console, where boneless humanoid characters writhed and moved limply, accompanied by upbeat music.

Makoto Takahashi placed the peach on the coffee table, poured Yuki Tatsumi a cup of black tea, sat down next to her, and picked up another handle.

"Is everything going smoothly?" Tachikami asked.

"Probably. Aya asked me to go to her room tonight."

"Then let's go."

The young lady readily granted permission, and Takahashi Makoto subconsciously turned his head to look at her. She said without blinking, "Makoto-kun's birthday is very important."

"Okay." Makoto Takahashi focused his attention on the game screen.

The couple worked together on a project, but both of them failed spectacularly countless times. While saying things like "Makoto-kun~ give it your all~", Tachimi Yuki casually operated the character.

The limp humanoid creature and the girlfriend fanning the flames are making things chaotic.

"Thank goodness, don't push me."

"Hmm~ Let me take a look at this first~ Ah!"

"Wait, don't push, pull me up."

"Ah, it's dead again."

"Try again."

"Come on...wait a minute, is this revenge?"

Two boneless humanoid beings repeatedly commit suicide together until the aroma of miso soup wafts from the kitchen, whetting their appetites.

"Dinner is ready." Uesugi Maya's clear and pleasant voice created a subtle contrast with the sweet atmosphere in the living room.

"Almost done, thank goodness, we'll finish this quickly." Takahashi Makoto was engrossed in the game.

"Looks like we're moving this rock? Wow, it's so heavy."

"I'll help you, wait, don't hit me."

Two humanoid creatures and a rock were swept into the shredder. Uesugi Maya crossed her arms and gave him a disdainful look: "You're really useless."

Makoto Takahashi looked up at her and said defiantly, "I'll buy another controller tomorrow, so the game can be played by three people together."
