About becoming a magical girl

"But..." Xue Nai paused, "I exchanged that letter with someone else..."

Because they met strangers who also drew the "wreck" lottery, it happened that Xue Nai and her held each other's favorite prizes in their hands, so they exchanged them logically.

"Well," unexpectedly, Nami Shino seemed to know about this, "then, have you ever thought about why 'that person' happened to appear in front of you, and why he just took a fancy to the thing in your hand?"

This is already a clear statement, Xue Nai is not slow, and immediately understood——

"Could it be... that person was also arranged by Naoko...?"

"After all, if you do it too directly, you will be suspected," Nami Shino explained solemnly, "After all, we are the 'official' that treats all fans equally (laughs)."

Shino couldn't believe Nami herself when she said this.

"So that's how it is..."

In that case everything makes sense.

"Well, did you feel pleasantly surprised after hearing this?"

"I'm... very happy..."

Xue Nai pursed her lips, complex emotions lingering in her chest, some wanted to laugh but felt sad for some reason.

"Right," Shino saw Nami with a smile, "Actually, isn't this a special gift? 'Surprise' can also exist in this way—as long as you make her happy and let her understand your intentions, I think she will like any 'gift' in any form."

"I may understand..."

A gift can be an item or a unique thought, the key lies in the person who gives it.

"Well, don't tell your sister about this, she doesn't seem to want to mention it."

After all, it is such a thing.

If it hadn't been for Shinomi to say it, Xue Nai might not know, because Naoko is the only one who is very dishonest about this kind of thing.

"All in all, thank you Xiaoxue Nai for inviting me, I will definitely be there then..."

Nami Shino replied in the affirmative.

"Well, Miss Shinomi, please keep this matter a secret from my sister."

"Of course, I'll cover for you, so go ahead and do it, and I'm looking forward to that day too."

Shino saw a few more words with Xue Nai before hanging up the phone - she still had a lot of work to do, she was a busy person.

"Naoko will have that side..."

Xue Nai remembered Shino Mi Nami's words in her heart, "As expected of someone who has been with Naoko for so long, Miss Shino Mi knows Naoko very well..."

While talking to herself, Xue Nai only felt a little envious suddenly.

"I wish I was the one who was always by Naoko's side."

But Xue Nai didn't have that chance.

If Yukina hadn't stepped into Naoko's world that day, perhaps the misunderstanding and estrangement between Yukina and Avenir would have continued forever.

That would be so sad.

"How is it?" Hua Zuoqin came over, a little strange, "Why do you have such an expression?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that I don't know enough about Naoko."

Xue Nai sighed.

Whether it's Senior Baiyan or Nami Shino, the Naoko in their eyes is probably different from the Naoko in their own eyes, right?Everyone sees Naoko differently, but it is precisely because of this that she can be portrayed as a whole.

Xue Nai bit the straw lightly, and the cold and sweet juice melted in her mouth. She was thinking, and suddenly said, "...Hua Zuo, what kind of person is my sister in your eyes?"

"Ah?" Hua Zaoqin put down the phone, "Why did you ask me?"

"What's the matter?" Xue Nai joked, "You said you would come to the birthday party, right? If that's the case, what gift would you choose?"

"Hmm..." Hua Zuoqin raised her brows seriously, and gave Xue Nai a white look, "Xijian Sang, you must be sending me troubles, right?"

Xue Nai smiled without saying a word.

144. Maid Cafe

"—Is it your senior's birthday?" Fu Lan's voice was always soft, just like her impression, "I think Miss Xijian, you can also try to think about what you like, whether it's to suit your liking or Sharing what you like is a choice..."

This is also a feasible suggestion. Since you can't find something that Naoko will like, it's better to give her something you like.

For example...for fun...

Xue Nai rubbed her cheeks, and immediately swept away the dirty thoughts from her mind.

"—something that she will be surprised by..." Fushihara Linghua pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly, "I don't know if she will be happy if she receives Masaki Hina's blessing. To be honest, she hasn't for a while." Seeing her, I suddenly feel that she is not so annoying."

Concubine Masaki... Former Commander, this Xue Nai really has nothing to do... After all, she doesn't have the contact information of Concubine Masaki, nor does she have enough authority to borrow cross-city communication equipment.

"—Dessert," Eileencia remained silent as always, "fruit."

These are Naoko's favorite food, and Xue Nai knows it too.

"—My words..." Yanila has only been in Xijing City for more than a month, and she has limited understanding of Efnir, so she can't give any advice, and she is not sure. "It might be good if we can sleep together."

But there is no suitable place in Xijing City.

The time quickly came to 03:30 pm.

"Xijian Sang, let's go to the coffee shop." Hua Zuoqinyin glanced at the time and said, "Sister is probably here soon."

The coffee shop was on a commercial street near the school, and they stopped a taxi and headed towards the school.

"Xijian-san, did you ask your sister's friend for any advice?"

"Well, there are some."

Xue Nai shook her head again as she recalled.

All in all, Xue Nai has contacted as many people as she can think of, except Xia Duo and other agents who are staying in Qiansakachuan, as well as some agents stationed in other borders and resident areas-those are in charge of their respective areas. Will not go back to the headquarters, so Xue Nai has not seen them at the headquarters.

"Have you contacted them all?"

"Yeah, almost."

Hua Zaoqin thought for a while, "Then it's almost time to move on to the next step."

"What's next?"

"Of course it's you."

"I?"

Xue Nai was taken aback, Hua Zuoqin said with a smile, "Think about it, since this is such an important occasion for both you and your sister, you must first dress yourself up well, right? Absolutely winning clothes and shoes, make-up must not be left behind, and perfume, that is also a must-have weapon for girls to date!"

"But... I don't have much experience..." Xue Nai was in trouble.

Not to mention perfume, Xue Nai also knows little about makeup.

After all, she is only a high school student, and her understanding of makeup is only limited to lipstick, mascara and a little whitening cream—what kind of makeup is popular now, what kind of makeup is more suitable for her temperament, and how to use makeup She doesn't know anything about modifying the shape of the face.

But this is obviously not a problem for Huazaoqin.

"It's okay, you can leave this to me."

Hua Zuoqin patted her chest and assured her, "There is also Miss Shino Jian, she is very good at this."

Nami Shino's usual style and work style are two extremes. At the same time, she is also Avenier's agent and part-time makeup artist, and she does have trustworthy accomplishments in this regard.

"After that, it's time to set up the scene."

It also takes a lot of time to set up the scene at home, which is also a crucial part.

Hua Zuoqin said, "But before that, let's go to the coffee shop. The ring is the most important thing anyway."

……

The senior girl Hana Kotone is talking about is actually the manager of the maid cafe where Hana Kotone often goes to work, and she is a third-year student at Tomosumi Girls' High School.

The two took a taxi to their destination - the maid cafe.Since its storefront is not on the main road of the commercial street, it does not look eye-catching at all. Xue Nai and Qin Yin got off the car at the entrance of the commercial street, and followed the map for a long time before finding their destination.

"It's here."

Hua Zuoqin pointed to Xue Nai with a little excitement, and there were already many people in the store at this time.

The so-called maid cafe is undoubtedly a cafe that incorporates the popular subculture of "maid" as a gimmick, and the element of "maid" is naturally the most eye-catching scenery.

Xue Nai looked from a distance, and her gaze was immediately attracted by the maids in the shop wearing uniforms and carrying teacups and trays.Most of those uniforms are similar to the uniforms lent to Xue Nai before Hana Qinyin, and Xue Nai can recognize it at a glance, while the Kanban lady and the barista in charge of making coffee wear different styles of maid uniforms.

The decoration style of the entire coffee shop looks very elegant. It does not seem to be a place that uses "maid" as a gimmick to catch people's attention, but skillfully combines "maid" and "coffee" to form a unique style of.

And as Hua Zuoqinyin said before, there are only girls in the coffee shop-this shop is only open to women, which also makes Xue Nai relax a lot.

——The only difference is that it is not as popular as expected. The store is very quiet, but all you can see are all kinds of women, ranging from energetic girls in junior high school uniforms with juice. From mature women whose clothes and temperament show the charm of their age, some who wear half-rim glasses look like a steady and intellectual teacher or doctor, and some have an elegant demeanor like a plane model walking off a poster... Xue Nai Can't even find common ground among these people.

"Ah, it's Xiaoqin~ good afternoon."

Huazuo Qinyin obviously knew other shop assistants, and there was even a customer walking towards him—a woman in mature professional attire greeted Huazuo Qinyin.

She is a regular customer here, so she knows Hua Zuoqin Yin.

"Miss Riko, good afternoon."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Is it because the school is busy?"

"Recently, the school held a school festival...so..."

Hua Zuoqin made up a reason casually.

After all, the staff and even the store manager here are all students of Yousumi Girls' Academy, and occasionally when the school is busy, they will naturally temporarily put down the part-time jobs here.

"Oh! It seems that I have heard of such a thing."

Hua Zaoqin finally smiled awkwardly, but the other party didn't doubt it, just smiled softly, "It's a pity, I don't have more time to spend time with Xiaoqinyin today, I hope I can meet Xiaoqinyin after a long absence next week .”

Saying goodbye to the working woman known as "Miss Riko", a girl dressed as a maid came over and smiled sweetly, "The store manager is waiting for you upstairs, come with me?"

145. Coffee and Chocolate

The air is filled with the mellow aroma of coffee and the fragrance of milk, and the soothing light music is swaying in the ears.

The cafe has a cozy feel.

"The price here doesn't seem to be as expensive as expected..." Xue Nai looked around in confusion and asked, "Is it because it's not in the center of the commercial street?"

This is Xue Nai's second impression of the cafe.

First of all, coffee itself is a relatively expensive product in this era, just like poultry, beef and mutton, wine, carts, and some rare fruits—this is especially true for Xijing City, which itself is not a coffee-producing area.

Therefore, the price of coffee is naturally very unusual. Ordinary people in Xijing City do not have the habit of drinking coffee, and it is considered a hobby that only a few people will come into contact with.

On the contrary, coffee is very popular in some markets. This kind of commodity that is difficult to obtain due to trade restrictions is itself a commodity that some people like to take as gifts. The price of expensive coffee in Xijing City is less than [-]% of that in a city rich in coffee. It is this huge price difference that breeds this phenomenon.

Secondly, generally speaking, coffee shops with value-added service elements such as "maids" will be more expensive. Although Xue Nai has never been to this type of place for consumption, she has been hanging out in Avenier all year round. In the fan group, I also learned a lot of knowledge that is "not very useful" but "can be heard" from other people.

Some restaurants also use "maids" as a selling point, and deliberately let the staff dress up as maids to attract some customers. The prices of this type of restaurant are usually relatively high, because it is not a very simple matter to recruit staff who can properly act as maids, so the expenses in various aspects will also increase.

Similarly, cafes that have maids as a major factor should be more expensive.

Based on the above two points, the charge of the maid cafe will never be low - but the price here is very ordinary, or in other words, it is not so cheap that it is not like a coffee shop in a commercial street.

"Actually, it's okay, other coffee shops are also at this price."

There are not many coffee shops, but they are not the only ones. Coffee is difficult to get, but it is not an essential necessity, and there is a market for it.

"It's hard to be the same..."

Indeed, most of the coffee shops in other places have the same price, but the rent in the commercial street is relatively expensive, so it must not be generalized, not to mention that this is a "maid cafe".

"Actually, you don't have to think so much," Hua Zouqinyin smiled, "If the price is too expensive, doesn't it mean that some people will be turned away?"

"...I always feel that this is something that idealists would say."

"You're right, Senior Sister is that kind of person—well, you'll know it when you meet her, and she's a real daughter, she probably doesn't care much about the store's income."
