I will never give in to Miss Death

"Eh? It's pretty good."

Philo, who was wearing a special "big breast support" maid outfit, happily placed several milk tea cups on the table and began to add ingredients into them: "I just figured out the payment system. They just need to scan it, and this screen here will generate the required milk tea... I don't even have to collect money face to face. The technology here is too advanced."

Well... modern technology is indeed like this.

In peacetime, what scientists and capital have to consider is how to get ordinary people to pay. In wartime, they have to consider how to get the country to pay.

I can understand the logic here - the other world is a place dominated by martial arts and magic, and everyone is born with one goal in mind, which is to practice martial arts or magic, otherwise they will be bullied by powerful warriors and magicians. In this way, personal abilities are infinitely magnified, and no one will think about "inventing props that benefit the country and the people for others". Capital tends to be "how to make magic stronger" and "how to write more powerful magic"...

However, I was still surprised that Philo was able to learn human language and adapt to the environment of the coffee shop in such a short time.

"So you're okay here alone, right?"

I took a largest leash from a shelf next to the second floor and said to Filo, "If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask Xiaomo on the first floor. I need to go out for a while."

"Do you want to go out?"

Philo nodded: "Okay, I'll take good care of it here, don't worry, after all, I've been a waiter for more than ten years."

So it seems that you have more experience as a waiter than I do...

After untying the bag of the leash, I squatted down and motioned Ding Man to lie down.

"Meow."

This cat, which was almost as big as me when it stood up, fell to the ground with a "plop", revealing its big furry belly.

I carefully put the straps under the leash onto Timon's front legs and buckled it, then picked up the big furry guy. I observed the several interfaces of the bag, and after making sure it was secure and would not cause any discomfort to the cat, I stood up and walked towards the staff lounge on the second floor.

I took out my bunny backpack from the lounge, moved my personal belongings out of the backpack, and then put the printed flyers in.

It can be seen that these flyers designed by Ouyang Xue have descriptions of many "traditional" items of coffee shops, such as the store's fast food and snacks, like fried chicken, cola, egg tarts, and milk tea and coffee, coupled with example pictures full of colorful pixels, one can tell at a glance that the designer of this flyer did not put much effort into it.

In addition, the back of the flyer also prints the address and some more niche services, such as taking photos with the maid, single-seat massage chairs, free cat petting, etc.

"Okay, let's go."

Finally, I put two bottles of water, a pet-specific milk feeder, and some cat freeze-dried food and cat strips into the rabbit's backpack, and I signaled to Timon in the staff lounge that he could go downstairs.

"Don't run around for a while, we're going to a place far away today."

Connecting the leash to the strap on Timon's back, I went down to the first floor and opened the door.

In an instant, a heat wave came towards me.

Phew...the world out there is really harsh.

At the door of the coffee shop, I tore open a pack of cat food and fed Timon some, then gave him some water.

"Let's go."

Riding on the heat wave, I took Timon's hand and walked towards the cobblestone path outside the coffee shop. The little leather shoes that matched the maid outfit made a "click-click" sound on the floor.

To be honest, I actually quite like this feeling now.

It’s just… wearing a pretty little skirt and cute little shoes, walking in the refreshing and clean world outside, there’s a sense of comfort as if the whole world is cute, beautiful, and full of life.

The material of the maid's leather shoes is very soft, and they feel almost weightless and hard when worn on the feet. The material used for the white silk stockings wrapped on the feet is also very soft and fits closely to the skin. It's just that on this hot day, the thighs and calves sweat and appear a little misty. The maid skirt is also custom-made from high-grade silk and cotton in the factory. It is very breathable, and you can feel very comfortable when there is a slight breeze.

I don't know when I started to get used to this combination of a little skirt, stockings and small shoes.

If I were the uncle I used to be, I probably wouldn't care about this kind of outfit - clothes, after all, just need to be comfortable. A pair of ten-dollar rubber shoes and a T-shirt are enough to travel around the world. What's the big deal?

My only problem now is...maid outfits aren't really mainstream clothing in the outside world.

If I go out dressed like this, I will definitely become the focus of attention of the people around me, just like when I accompanied Ouyang Xue to the hospital.

At that time, almost everyone in the hospital at least glanced at me.

But there is no way, when distributing flyers, the most important thing is attraction.

No one will notice ordinary people standing on the busy street. Even if you pass a flyer to them when they pass by, they probably won’t react. But this may not be the case if they are wearing “beautiful clothes”.

I don't remember where I saw the report, but it said that someone did a test. At the same place and time on a street, passers-by had obviously different attitudes towards flyers when an ordinary person handed out flyers and when someone was wearing a teddy bear costume. Both the speed of handing out flyers and the probability of passers-by being attracted by the content of the flyers were obviously higher when the person wearing the teddy bear costume was handing out flyers.

Similarly, if I want to distribute flyers faster, wearing a maid outfit will definitely be faster and more efficient than wearing everyday clothes.

"Wow……"

After walking along the path outside with Ding Man for a while, I came to the entrance of the commercial street behind the coffee shop. Following Ouyang Xue's instructions, I looked at the buildings behind for a long time and finally found the legendary "Mianyun Commercial City".

From a distance, that area seemed to be a relatively empty "building complex" with a layout somewhat similar to the squares around the central area of ​​Kamihama City. There was a very large intersection with standard traffic lights, and on both sides were particularly dense bushes, followed by street lights and some billboards.

Except that there are fewer people than in the square in the city center, this place feels like another "People's Square" to me.

Of course, all the equipment and buildings here, including public buildings, are brand new, so it can be seen that this area was built not long ago.

"Meow……"

Compared to most cats who either get stressed or instantly go into "cheating" mode when they go out, Timon's performance outside can almost be given full marks. Not only is he not afraid of the people and cars here at all, he is not even afraid of the buzzing and honking of passing vehicles. He even sits next to the flower bed and licks his paws.

"Whether we can attract people later depends on you."

After patting the big cat's head, I led Ding Man towards one of the buildings in the newly built commercial plaza. Amid the surprised eyes of the people around me, I looked for the house number and confirmed that it was Building 1 of Mianyun Commercial.

They are the two largest buildings on both sides of the intersection and are particularly eye-catching.

By the way... my current device has all the "eye-catching features", right?

Maid plus cat, no matter which element, taken alone is enough to attract a large crowd.

"Why is there a maid here?"

"That cat is so big, is it a cat? It should be a cat, right? It's not afraid of people?"

"Its face is so round! I really want to touch it..."

"That little girl is so cute too, she's wearing this... What are they going to do? Advertising? Should we go get one?"

Amid the discussions of the people around me, I turned the rabbit backpack behind me to the front, then unzipped it to reveal the advertising leaflets inside.

"Noel."

Just as I was about to find a relatively shady place to use Ding Man's beauty to advertise, a familiar voice came from behind me.

Someone followed...

"you……"

When I saw Yin Xiamo, I thought for a moment that I was seeing things, but her signature coffee shop maid outfit was so eye-catching that I quickly came to my senses - this girl really came out together.

"It's going to be lunchtime soon, why are you running outside?"

I took the flyer out of my schoolbag and held it in my arms. I looked at the girl in front of me in confusion: "It's so hot here..."

"Noer doesn't really like being alone, does he?"

As I watched, Yin Xiamo took away a stack of flyers in her arms: "Ouyang Xue and Lan Jiajia are over there, that's enough."

I was dumbfounded: "Then you..."

"Of course I'm here to accompany my wife."

In front of a large group of people around, Yin Xiamo kissed me directly on the face without any hesitation.

“When a couple works together, the work is not tiring!”

"..."

……

No. 220 That day, I remembered my past weakness

According to the notes in the "Ten-Year Plan for Minaminagi District in Kamihama City (Simplified Map)" that Su Yunjin had left in the coffee shop, the commercial plaza named "Mianyun" behind the Minaminagi District commercial street is planning to adopt the "physical store To e-commerce To customer" model.

I don't know exactly what these models refer to. I took a rough look and it seems that the Kamihama Municipal Government plans to build something similar to a "logistics base" and a "people's mall" here, which is the area where Ouyang Xue used to work before the coffee shop, focusing on fast logistics and retail sales.

Mianyun Commercial City is just an area of ​​the "Mianyun Commercial Plaza". There is a large intersection here. "Mianyun Commercial Building" No. 1234 is built at the four corners of the intersection, namely the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The commercial building in the northwest is No. 1, and the Mianyun Commercial Building close to the commercial street of Nannai District is No. 2, which is the one in front of me.

From the coffee shop, you can walk along the path next to the commercial street behind it. You don’t need to cross the road to get to the bottom of Building 2 of Mianyun Commercial Building. It’s just that this road is a little difficult to find, after all, it has just been built.

The reason why it was named "Mianyun" was explained in detail in the planning book. It seemed that the city planned to build this place into a square with a certain "leisure" atmosphere, and design the public facilities and various buildings here in a fairyland-like style, light and soft.

In addition, it is said that this name will also be the name of the tenth district of Kamihama City in the future, namely "Mianyun District".

Because looking at the map, these islands in the southern part of Kamihama City with a different color really look like clouds floating slowly in the blue sky, which is particularly poetic. However, the name has not been officially confirmed, and only the plan for the Mianyun Commercial Building has been finalized.

“This is to be distributed to passers-by around here, right?”

Taking most of the flyers from me, Yin Xiamo naturally waved to the passers-by who were attracted by our maid outfits and Timon on the ground: "Cat Maid Cafe is having an event! Come and have a look! Children's Day special event! 20% off for all items, and a free prickly horned melon of the same style as Thanos of the Father Alliance, while stocks last!"

Eh?

Yin Xiamo's unique elf-like ethereal voice instantly made the passers-by who were originally watching around her lose their composure, and several people immediately surrounded her.

"What flyer? Give me one."

"You guys... this is a regular job, right? Don't scare me, I brought my kids here because I saw a TV commercial saying there was a new commercial area here."

"This cat is so big, is it a Persian cat? I have seen cats this big before."

"Can I touch it?"

By the way, is it possible that Xiaomo is so awesome in society?

How come I hadn’t noticed her extroverted personality before?

I stood next to her like a lady and looked at the girl next to me with interest.

"Cat Maid Cafe! There are food and drinks inside, including fast food and drinks, and you can pet the cats for free!"

"We are definitely doing formal work here. This is our work uniform. Here is my work badge, and this is my health certificate."

"This cat is called Timon. He is the largest cat in our store. If you don't like big cats, you can come sit in the store. There are many other breeds of cats."

"Sure, Timon is very docile, but if you touch the cat you have to collect the flyer, right?"

Most of the people who gathered around us were young ladies, while the boys were mostly taking pictures with their mobile phones. I don’t know if they were not used to the maid outfits that Xiaomo and I were wearing.

After working as a maid in the cafe for a month, I discovered a phenomenon that I don’t know if it can be considered "strange", that is, the customers who come to the Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe are generally bold girls.

It’s not that boys are timid, it’s mainly because... most of the boys who come to the store are introverted. Often when I go to serve them and ask them what they need, 30% to 50% of the boys will lower their heads and dare not look at me, and then whisper "It's okay, I'll scan the code and order myself", and the remaining 50% of the boys will shyly ask "Can I take a picture?" and so on.

Whenever this happens, I would reply to them that taking photos in the store is not prohibited, nor is taking photos of the maids, but if they want to pose for a photo with us, they will be charged.

On the contrary, the girls who come to the store are much bolder, maybe because they are of the same sex, girls have no sense of restraint. Except for a few more gentle types, the girls who come to the store are almost completely different from the boys. Not only do they dare to look me in the eye when I serve them, some girls will even touch my skirt out of curiosity. While admiring the high-quality material of the skirt, they will ask questions like "Is it hot to wear such stockings?", "I see water stains on your socks, are you sweating?", "What does the cat bell on your neck mean?"

In addition, female customers are the ones who request the most for taking photos and posing. Some more outgoing girls will even specifically ask Ouyang Xue, "I want Nuoer to serve me, I want to hear Nuoer's loli voice."

Moreover, according to statistics, if we exclude the "family" customers who come to the store with their children, girls make up the largest number of customers, whether they are college roommates or just one person.

It was fine at the beginning, but as the coffee shop became more and more famous, the proportion of female customers coming to the store began to rise rapidly.

The amazing thing is that in the promotional video of Tongmeng.com, the official account of the coffee shop operated by Ouyang Xue clearly shows that it is a male... or the viewing ratio of male accounts is relatively high, but most people only stay at the level of "watching", and not many otakus actually run here.

Among the customers, the largest group is college students, especially those who live in the same dormitory or are close girlfriends, or those who live together and sleep in the same rental house after graduation and working. The second largest group is girls who live alone or in groups of three or more.

If the proportion of women continues to rise as it is now, it is estimated that in half a year, the proportion of girls coming to the store will exceed 80%, and this place may become an inadvertent "holy land of lesbians".

Not to mention half a year later, it’s only been a month and the coffee shop already has related signs.

On the Internet, the couple Yin Xiamo and I are almost torn apart. There are many secondary creations based on the store’s surveillance footage, or some extremely imaginative ghost works. Not many people noticed Elodie and Lan Jiajia because their working hours are staggered, but many careful people have discovered their ambiguity, and there have also been many submissions of Ai X Lan’s creations.

The sudden appearance of these large number of videos made the coffee shop like a "lesbian restaurant". They were widely forwarded and promoted, and then more and more girls came to watch me and Xiaomo play, or brought their roommates to try it out. Some were even real lesbians in real life, who came over holding hands and feeding each other.

Ouyang Xue said that this situation was indeed beyond her expectations and felt that it deviated somewhat from the direction of her propaganda.

But we can no longer control this trend.

Because the "Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe" focuses on yuri, strange public opinion about the yuri restaurant has spread.

We can only do it the usual way...make promotional videos when necessary and distribute flyers when necessary.

"Wow! You can pet a cat with just a flyer? Give me one!"

After listening to Yin Xiamo's explanation, some girls came over quickly, took a flyer from my arms, squatted down, stretched out their hands, and tried to touch Ding Man's head.

"Meow--"

Ding Man, who was lying on his stomach, yawned, then turned over and exposed his belly to look cute.

"It's showing its belly!"

The other girls also squatted down: "Hey... can we touch it? I remember cats seem to hate having their bellies touched, right?"
