Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 686 - 421: The Terrifyingly Beautiful Girl
CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 421: THE TERRIFYINGLY BEAUTIFUL GIRL
It’s almost November, and the weather is getting colder.
Uesugi Sakura closed all the windows and glass doors of the coffee shop, then turned around.
"Ah~ ah~ ah~~ ah~~~ achoo!!"
Towa Rina’s nose was red and swollen, stuffed as if blocked by two cherries.
Uesugi Sakura stepped back expressionlessly, "I suggest you wear a mask."
"Uesugi-san, you," Towa Rina sniffled and shook her head with effort, "don’t even care about girls, and... ah~ ahchoo! ...still say such heartless things."
"I went out and bought you medicine, that’s conscientious enough."
"Achoo!!!" Towa Rina sneezed heavily again.
It seemed she was quite sick.
She had shown signs of a runny nose since the morning, and after a customer opened a window, the cold wind hit her, and she couldn’t take it.
Tashiro Yuuri and Tashiro Yuno, the two sisters, stood in front of Towa Rina with one holding a kettle and the other with medicine and a cup. When she sneezed, everyone invariably moved away from her.
"Achoo!! Ah~ my voice sounds so muffled."
The manager poked his head out from the kitchen and said to the people outside, "Rina, if you’re sick, take a day off. Come back to work after you’ve recovered."
Towa Rina pulled out a tissue and blew her nose, "No way, if I leave, what about the customers in the shop?"
That was indeed a problem.
She was a veteran at the mimi café. Many customers came just to hear her call them ’Master.’
The café already didn’t have many maids.
Recently, more and more customers were coming. Uesugi Sakura estimated if she took a leave, he might have to serve as a barista himself.
"How about, Uesugi, you take over some of Rina’s work?" Manager Yanagi came out wearing a cartoon apron.
"Entertain the customers?"
"Yes."
Uesugi Sakura asked, "In the manner of a maid?"
"Of course, this is a maid café."
At this moment, Towa Rina pinched her nose and giggled from the side, "Uesugi-san, you should replace me as the head maid, remember to call the female customers ’Master’ when they come. They’ll be overjoyed, and your salary will go up, maybe even a tip!"
"..."
The manager added, "Of course, if you don’t want to do that, it’s okay. Uesugi, you just need to serve coffee to those female customers. They would be happy to enjoy your service and won’t overstep."
"..."
Regardless of whether Uesugi Sakura agreed, the others did.
But this isn’t right.
He’s not a Male Prostitute, and this isn’t a Host Club.
Uesugi Sakura glanced at the clock in the shop and walked over to Tashiro Yuno, taking the glass from her hand.
"What are you doing?" Towa Rina asked.
"Pouring you some hot water."
Towa Rina immediately laughed, "That’s nice, thanks."
Uesugi Sakura felt that the job of entertaining customers as the head maid should not be done by him.
Taking the kettle from Tashiro Yuuri’s hand, he watched the gentle stream pouring into the cup, thinking that a minor cold shouldn’t require much.
Just a little should do.
He handed the hot water to Towa Rina.
"Here, drink this."
"Ah~ thank you!"
"Take the medicine, rest for ten minutes before leaving." Uesugi Sakura turned to place the kettle and the used cup on the counter.
"Why is that?" Towa Rina asked, holding the cup.
"Medicine takes time to take effect."
Ding-a-ling~
Someone entered the coffee shop.
Tashiro Yuuri went over to fulfill her duty as a Cat-Eared Maid, entertaining the guests, giving Uesugi Sakura an excuse to return to the bar.
"Alright, there’s a customer, I’ll go work. Rina, just rest for ten minutes, maybe your cold will be gone."
"That’s impossible! I still sound so stuffy, if it’s gone, it must mean you added magic to the water."
Uesugi Sakura didn’t respond, he went back to the front desk and picked up the small note handed by Tashiro Yuuri to continue working.
Towa Rina played on her phone in the shop, and after more than ten minutes, when she wasn’t paying attention, the rest time was over, and she was about to say goodbye to the manager and head home.
"Alright then, you can go home first, get some rest." Manager Yanagi was busy making sweets and cookies.
Uesugi Sakura, preparing coffee at the bar, saw Rina about to leave.
"How do you feel now?"
"Now? I feel... huh? It seems, my nose cleared?"
"Since your cold is gone, you don’t need to go home."
"Is that so... but, why did it suddenly get better? Did you really put magic in that water?"
"Maybe a deity felt the café couldn’t do without you and specially cured your cold."
"Haha," Towa Rina chuckled, "I never thought Uesugi-san could be so cute."
There was really no other way, even Kobashi Rikai, who usually made coffee, had to be called up by the manager to act as a temporary maid, the shop really was short on hands.
After a busy afternoon, everyone felt exhausted.
Ding-a-ling~
"A customer has arrived, time to get to work." Uesugi Sakura reminded.
"I know, I know."
...
Suzuki Ryo pushed open the glass door of mimi café, feeling a bit dazed, as if he hadn’t broken free from the previous scene.
The beautiful girls in reality were too scary, too scary.
Could it be... that in the future, the girlfriends he dates will all be like that?
Just one punch can knock down a guy a head taller, while giving a creepy smile to that guy.
Aren’t girls supposed to be cute and delicate?
Suzuki Ryo suddenly didn’t want to be in a relationship anymore, women are too scary.
"Welcome home, Master." Towa Rina gave her signature smile.
