Chapter 20:

Wearing a maid costume is...

Under The Shattered Eclipse


"A school festival?"

"Yes. Doesn't your school have one?"

"I guess not. What usually happens here?"

"Umm. We get around one week of free classes. Well, no classes happen during this time. And we get to decorate out classroom to fit a certain type. Like maid cafes, haunted house, etc etc."

"I am more surprised about the one week of free classes."

Hiroshi and Yuki were talking about Hiroshi's school festival.

"So what did your class decide on?"

"Maid cafe."

"What?"

She was a little furious. Because it means Hiroshi will look at his classmates dressing up as maids. Just the thought of it makes her angry.

"Tell me you won't join, right?"

"It's not my choice. Participation of everyone is mandatory."

"What did you say-"

She turned evil again. She is being a little overprotective...

People decided on a maid cafe for two main reasons. Firstly, they don't need to work much on preparations. Secondly, these cafes are popular too. They can earn a lot from it. But in the back, they had a third reason...

The third reason is the most important one. That is they can have the girls of their class wear maid outfits, call them masters, and much more. Their imagination is beyond comprehension.

Hiroshi was disgusted by this. He was thinking about how Yuki would look in a maid dress. But he felt guilty for fantasizing about her without her permission. But she wouldn't mind though, will she? But its better not doing it. Having a boner in the middle of the class would be problematic.

"Hey Hiroshi, how's your wife doing?"

He got surprised. But it was just Ren.

"She is not my wife, we are just sharing apartments."

"So, you two are living together?"

"So what-"

He was looking outside when he said that. But when he looked inside, he saw that all of his classmates were looking at him. He felt embarrassed. Word spread around quickly. And rumours were spreading too...

About the preparations, everything was ready. They just have to set up menus, make a giant Name and arrange the seats. And they are done. Now about the main part, cooking...

Well, their experiences in the cooking class speaks for itself. The girls are going to be maids. So the boys are the cooks. But none of them know how to cook properly. They were hopeless. Having females would make them short handed too. There seems to be no way out. When out of nowhere, Yuuji says,

"I know, I know a person who can cook well. Its Hiroshi's wife. Her cooking is so delicious. I want to eat more and more."

"I told you, its not like that."

Both Rin and Ryoichi agrees. This is hard evidence to deny. They begged Hiroshi to invite her to help. Well, its seems like it wasn't going to be a fun ride for them. But he demanded that she also gets paid, to which they agreed.

"So that's what it is."

"Yes. They want you to be the main cook."

"I can help. That's not a problem. But only in one condition. You must stay with me at all times. I don't want you to hang out with other girls. Nor do I want other boys to have their looks on me."

"Want me to kill them who does?"

"No. I don't want you to go to jail, especially when we almost got captured."

"Yeah."

So she agreed to help Hiroshi's class. Everything was okay.

It was the day of the public opening. Hiroshi told Yuki to arrive two hours early, as they need to prepare. She was the chief cook. As told, she came two hours early.

Everyone was minding their own business, doing whatever they were assigned to. But suddenly, the stopped. Their eyes was drawn to her beauty. Everyone was thinking,

"Who is she?"

Entering the room, she amazed everyone, even though she did absolutely nothing. She asked,

"This is Hiroshi's classroom which was doing a maid cafe, right?"

Her smooth voice calmed everyone on the room. Everybody was so amazed by her beauty that they forgot to reply to her question. But that was not necessary. Hiroshi heard her voice and recognised her. He came to the scene. He was busy fixing the curtains. He came and introduced her,

"So, she is Yuki that my friends were talking about."

"Hello. I am Yuki, Hiroshi's girlfriend."

That line made him embarrassed. Yuki noticed this and decided to tease him in front of the whole class.

"You didn't like that? Well then, Hello everyone, I am Yuki, Hiroshi's wife."

"Yuki, stop it. You're embarrassing me."

The whole class was thinking about one thing,

"These lovebirds are making me feel lonely."

She entered into the cooking room, wore her apron, looked at the menu and became fully strict mode. She is gonna do her best.

Meanwhile all the boys were thinking,"Her strict side is so cool."

But then, they saw Hiroshi giving a death glare at them. They had a feeling that if they even looked at her, he would kill him.

Yuki first did all the menu items for everyone to eat. It was like a test run. Everyone was amazed by her cooking skills. Some people even cried while eating it.

"Hiroshi. Your wife is amazing. You must be lucky having to eat these everyday. I feel energy sweeping throughout my whole body.

"Well, this was just a test run. For the real deal. I want everyone to cooperate and follow my orders. Those who will fail to do so will face consequences.", said Yuki in an evil tone.

"Yes. Master.", said the boys. They were genuinely scared of her now.

15 minutes before the official opening, everything was set. All the maids were in order, the signs were in place, the cooking place was set too. All that was left was the opening...

After the opening, customers slowly began to come. They were amazed by the quality of foods there. Even the local food critics were amazed too. Slowly, their maid cafe was developing its popularity. But it was absolute chaos in the cooking side.

They were working their asses off. Especially Yuki, for just one cook to do everything is just pure torture. But Yuki tried to look like she was not pressurised, but in fact, she was. Hiroshi was helping them too. But he was worried for Yuki. She seemed exhausted. Working like that is never good. She was sweating too. Hiroshi decided to give her a glass of water to drink.

"You should rest if you are tired."

"It's okay. I can handle this. I told that I was going to give it my all."

"Still."

The line for the maid cafe was going on. It seems like they are going to win this year's festival competition. Well, it was all thanks to Yuki.

Yuki was exhausted beyond comprehension. The students around silently decided to give her a break and have others take over the cooking. They pushed her with Hiroshi to just see other classroom's ideas, while they would take over.

But before that, they made sure to do one thing. The girls took Yuki away and got herself changed into a maid costume before sending her with Hiroshi. Yuki is now embarrassed, but she developed her courage to ask this question,

"S-so. H-how do I l-look?"

"You look cute."

A direct answer from Hiroshi. He was just looking at her. She was beautiful. They were going through the halls, but they were getting too much attention. In the end, they just returned to their classroom and rested there. But upon reaching there, there was utter chaos. All of the maids were exhausted. They took turns while cooking and got exhausted by that. They were even more amazed at how Yuki was able to do all that all by herself. Well, she decided to take over and try her best too.

In the end, the maid cafe idea was a blast. It also won this year's competition. All thanks to Yuki. They also got a fair pay too for their efforts. In the end, everything went well.
