"Even if Kawasaki Saki's workplace isn't that dangerous, it's still not right for her to work until dawn," Yukinoshita Yukino pointed out. "We need to investigate this as soon as possible and persuade her to resign."

"But..." Yuigahama Yui expressed her concerns, "Just persuading her to resign doesn't guarantee she won't find another job."

"Yeah," Hikigaya Komachi waved her little fist, "Just like whack-a-mole."

"So the goal shouldn't be to get her to resign, but to get to the root of the problem." Yukinoshita Yukino shared the same idea. "We must prescribe the right remedy. We must solve both the existing problem and the original one."

"That being said..." Yuigahama Yui's cheeks puffed up slightly, "How exactly should we do this?"

"First and foremost, we need to ensure she can resolve her problems on her own," Yukinoshita Yukino gave a crucial instruction. She emphasized that to resolve Saki Kawasaki's situation, they must unwaveringly adhere to the Servant Club's principle of teaching people to fish. They must grasp the essence of the problem and truly strengthen Saki Kawasaki's inner drive, allowing her subjective initiative to play a crucial role. "Compared to being forced to change, the risk of relapse is lower when relying on one's own strength," she said. "And it's virtually impossible to relapse."

"As for the specific method..." Yukinoshita Yukino paused, "Do you know about animal therapy?"

Animal therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy, is an intervention that improves physical and mental health through interaction between people and animals.

Using the companionship and interaction of animals can help people relieve psychological stress, improve social skills and promote recovery.

"Find a kitten, put it in a cardboard box, and place it on Kawasaki's path after school. If she's tempted, she'll pick the cat up." Yukinoshita explained confidently, "Then, with the kitten's company, she'll slowly return to her old self."

The bad girl took the cat home and showed her gentle side.

Quite a classic plot.

Maybe it's true...

Kawasaki Daishi weakly reminded: "But my sister is allergic to cat hair."

...Really not.

Volume 6: Chapter 210: There is an Angel Inside

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly: "Unfortunately, I have to give up animal therapy."

The obvious regret is not giving up animal therapy, but losing the opportunity to touch the cat.

Dong Yunshan came up with a good idea: "You don't have to give up."

Hope appeared in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes.

"If you're allergic to cat hair, how about a cat girl instead?" Azuma Yunshan felt Yukinoshita Yukino's cold gaze and said, "Just ignore what I said."

"Um..." Yuigahama Yui weakly raised her hand, "When students encounter problems and it's inconvenient to talk to their parents, shouldn't they go to the teacher?"

"That's right!" Hikigaya Komachi's eyes lit up, "Hiratsuka-sensei will definitely take care of it!"

-

"I see. I understand." Shizuka Hiratsuka stubbed out her cigarette in her ashtray and sighed briefly. "It's a serious matter for our students to work late at night—it's quite urgent. Let me handle it. I was planning to have a proper chat with her sometime."

After school, Saki Kawasaki walked out of the school alone.

His steps were tired and he yawned from time to time.

The backpack slipped from her listless shoulders. She didn't seem to have the strength to even lift it, so she let it dangle from her elbows.

"Kawasaki, wait a moment." Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly followed.

Kawasaki Saki stopped, straightened her hunched back, half-closed her eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "...What's the matter?"

Yuigahama Yui, who was observing secretly with everyone else, shrugged.

This is what she meant by terrible.

Yuigahama Yui has an exclusive card deck. The weather is nice today. Your bag is so beautiful. I ate cake yesterday~

Topics like this are used for communication between classmates.

Generally speaking, the other party will respond with something like, "The weather is really nice, I want to go out for a walk, where did I buy this bag, the cake is great, I ate at a very good restaurant before..."

Although the topic was not very interesting, with the cooperation of both parties, they naturally started chatting about it.

What I fear most is Saki Kawasaki's reaction.

I feel like if I don't make it clear what's going on in the next sentence, Saki Kawasaki will leave without mercy.

Actually, there was nothing wrong. I just wanted to use a non-essential topic to improve the relationship.

When you receive a reply like this, it goes without saying that the other party has no intention of getting closer to you.

In some ways, it's a scarier response than "Oh," "Hehe," or "Really?"

Compared to careless perfunctory behavior, irritable and dissatisfied resistance is more disturbing.

"Kawasaki, I heard you've been coming home very late lately. It's almost dawn when you get home." Shizuka Hiratsuka certainly wouldn't be scared by Saki Kawasaki's attitude. She's seen far scarier ones. "Where on earth did you go and what did you do?"

Kawasaki Saki threw her backpack over her shoulder and asked, "Teacher, who told you that?"

Yukinoshita Yukino murmured, "You're more resistant than I expected."

"Huh?" Yuigahama Yui was puzzled. "How did you find out?"

"The adjustment in her movements stems from a change in her mindset," Dong Yunshan explained. "She was more relaxed before, but now she's completely on guard."

It's like trying to peel an apple with a knife and then suddenly turning the knife around.

"I can't reveal the client's information." Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms over her chest. "Anyway, answer my questions."

"Nothing." Kawasaki Saki sighed lazily, "I can go wherever I like, right? It won't cause any trouble to others."

"Not yet." Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at Saki Kawasaki. "You're a high school student after all. You might be sent to the police station for counseling. When that happens, your parents and I will also be called in by the police."

Saki Kawasaki looked at her blankly, as if she didn't understand what Shizuka Hiratsuka was saying.

Hiratsuka Shizuka grabbed her arm and said, "Have you ever considered your parents' feelings?"

"Teacher..." Kawasaki Saki pushed her hand away, "You should wait until you become a parent before saying such things."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's body stiffened: "What?"

"It's too early for me." Kawasaki Saki paused. "After all, the teacher still has a long way to go before becoming a parent. There are still many obstacles on the way, such as getting married."

"...Gu!" Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned back as if hit hard, and then fell down stiffly and trembling like a rusty robot.

Saki Kawasaki left on her own, leaving Shizuka Hiratsuka helpless.

Yuigahama Yui saw Hiratsuka Shizuka's tearful face and couldn't help but sigh: "Teacher is so pitiful..."

Yukinoshita Yukino poked Azuma Yunshan.

"Hiratsuka-sensei." Dong Yunshan approached, "The meaning of life is not in marriage..."

"Wuwu..." Hiratsuka Shizuka wiped her tears and stood up shakily, "I'll go back first..."

Ignoring Dong Yunshan's comfort, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked away alone, leaving behind a desolate back.

Yuigahama Yui was about to cry after watching this.

"Let's proceed with the next plan." Dong Yunshan glanced at the email on his phone. "I asked a friend to check for restaurants in Chiba Prefecture that have the word 'Angel' in their names and are open until the early morning. There are two we can go to, and one of them..."

At Chiba Station, on the increasingly bustling streets, Azuma Yunshan pointed at a flashing sign: "This is it."

Maid Cafe, There's an Angel Inside

There was another sign next to it, with a picture of a maid wearing animal ears and saying, "Meow! Welcome back woof~."

"Meow..." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the sign in confusion, a question mark popping up in her head, "Welcome back... Woof?"

Is it a cat or a dog?

Yuigahama Yui hugged her all of a sudden: "Xue-no is so cute~"

"Huh? Ah!" Yukinoshita Yukino, who was being hugged, realized it later and blushed slightly, "I was just reading the sign."

Dong Yunshan coughed lightly and said, "Anyway, let's go in and ask."

"But isn't this a place for boys?" Yuigahama Yui looked troubled. "Should we wait for you outside?"

"Huh? Is that true?" Dong Yunshan was really confused. "Isn't a maid cafe also a cafe?"

"Most of them seem to only cater to men..." Hikigaya Komachi further explained, "Because the same techniques are easily seen through when used with the same sex."

"Is that so?" Dong Yunshan nodded. "Then wait a moment. I'll go explore the way."

"Female customers are also welcome here." Yukinoshita Yukino pointed to the sign on the side.

【Welcome ladies to experience maid time! 】

Dong Yunshan was stunned for a moment: "Do you want to experience it?"

"Yes." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, "I want to wear it for you to see."

Volume 6: Chapter 211 Maid Dress

Chewy~Delicious Omurice

Healing White Curry☆

Happy cute cake?

Most of the menu is of this style.

In addition, there are additional services such as rock-paper-scissors, group photos, and Sobu Line games.

Dong Yunshan ordered some food and drinks and waited for a while before hearing a knock on the door.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting... Master, Master..." Yuigahama Yui stared at the glass containing the drink, and her hand holding the tray trembled slightly.

The maid outfit is mainly black and white with light lace edges. The fluffy short skirt and tight over-the-knee socks form a strong contrast.

"This is your dessert~" Hikigaya Komachi put down the cake and showed a cute smile.

She chose a Taisho-style maid outfit, a kimono with a ruffled embroidered apron, which exuded youthful vitality.

"Eat." Yukinoshita Yukino put down the omelet rice.

The black long skirt and white apron, paired with Yukinoshita Yukino's long black hair and fair skin, make her look like a Victorian maid who has traveled through time to arrive here. Her dignified and steady image makes her simple clothes exude a luxurious atmosphere.

Dong Yunshan looked at her blankly.

"......" Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly, took out a cat ear headband from her bag and put it on her head, staring at Azuma Yunshan with an almost ferocious look, and made a weak sound, "Meow~"

Yuigahama Yui was dumbfounded.

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Actually..." Dong Yunshan realized that Yukinoshita Yukino had misunderstood his momentary distraction, "I was quite satisfied just now."

"..." Yukinoshita Yukino bit her lower lip lightly, took off the cat ear headband and stuffed it into her bag.

"Wait..." Yuigahama Yui realized belatedly, "So this is what Yunshan asked for after winning?"

"What else?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked back, "Would I wear it for him just because he likes it?"

Hikigaya Komachi: “…” Isn’t that the case now?

Azuma Yunshan liked it, and then Yukinoshita Yukino wore it for him to see.

"Ahahahaha...that's right." Yuigahama Yui laughed, "Right, right, Yunshan, how do you feel?"

"Yeah." Dong Yunshan said concisely, "Cute, lively, and elegant."

"Really? That's great, hehehe..." Yuigahama Yui smiled shyly, "But the skirt is so short, and the knee-high socks are so tight. I feel like people in the past must have had a hard time working in such clothes."

"People in the past wouldn't wear this." Hikigaya Komachi waved her hand. "This is an improved version."

"Improvements?" Yuigahama Yui tilted her head. "Wasn't it more difficult before?"

Dong Yunshan: "...There are many directions for improvement."

Yukinoshita Yukino got down to business: "I just checked, and Kawasaki-san doesn't work in this store."

Dong Yunshan thought of another possibility: "Is today a day off?"

"Her name isn't on the schedule." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head. "Since they called her home, that means they didn't use a fake name."

"I was thinking of asking the store clerk about this." Dong Yunshan glanced at the time. "Then let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow..."

-

"Just consider it as a reward for last time." Hayato Hayama said with a sunny smile, "Let me help too."

"Hmm?" Azuma Yunshan looked at Hayato Hayama, who came over to talk to him, in confusion. "What do you mean by help...?"

"You kept looking at Kawasaki-san. Are you trying to help her?" Hayato Hayama further explained, "Actually, I'm a little worried about her situation. After all, she's a classmate. It would be great if I could help her."
