Chapter 346 – Festivals, Maids, and the Secret Service

Saturday I woke up with a good night’s sleep.

Nothing special happened.
Dranez, who was excited about being able to be with me, got tangled up regardless of whether it was me or Hyejin, and Hyejin was just embarrassed by such awkwardness.

However, unlike the afternoon that went by without incident, there was a very special event in the evening.
It was a dinner where me and my girlfriends all gathered together.

The original purpose was to introduce Airy, who had finally returned to Korea due to a change of place of work, to other lovers.
She (she called me Mr. Airy when we met before, but after that she kept in touch and ended up talking on my side).

Coincidentally, the relationship with de Laneige had been established before that, so he took her to dinner and introduced her to other lovers.

Talking about how it was, it wasn’t as chaotic as I thought.

Thanks to telling everyone about Dranez before everyone got together, even if there were people who were confused, no one was greatly surprised.

Of course, with the addition of de Laneige, she had nine lovers, so she made a sincere promise to everyone that she would not increase her relationship any more.

The dining atmosphere was also good.

Airy was already acknowledged by everyone, so she was a little awkward, but there was no big problem, and De Laneige participated in the conversation with her unique liveliness.

It will take time for the distance between Airy and Dranez and the existing seven to become more natural, but I felt that it wouldn’t be that difficult.

A month passed like that.
During that time, nothing dangerous or worth worrying happened, as if it were natural.

The eye to see death didn’t activate either, but maybe the people around me weren’t normal people, so the danger seemed to disappear on its own.

The foreshadowing of death cannot penetrate because there are great people who are hard to gather even if they intend to, such as the chairman of the school board, a former black witch, and the president of a large company.

I said that nothing had happened for a month, but in fact it was quite busy.

It is because the school festival that many students have been looking forward to has arrived.

For a successful festival befitting its reputation as a first-class women’s university, it is finally today after all the hard work of teachers and students.
The Scarlet Magic Women’s University Festival has begun.

“Um…”

Normal school hours.
From the entrance of the school, it is filled with colorful decorations, and you can hear loud music and people’s voices from the inside.

The festival atmosphere that had already been pervading the interior revealed a stronger presence.

Female students standing and busking with guitars.
A street stall made of a simple tent and the smell of food wafting from it.

Each of them was passionately appealing to the students and external guests of the results they had prepared for a month.

… When I was in college in Korea, there were many cases where morning lectures were held even during festivals, but there are no classes at all here.

With that thought in mind, I looked around and there was not a single man, but all women.
This is because the way the festival is operated is unique.

Four women’s universities in the nearby area take turns holding a festival, and only students from those four universities are allowed to enter.
Therefore, the name of the festival was more accurate than a simple festival.

It’s unusual, but there are no classes while the four universities rotate and celebrate, so it wasn’t a bad way for me.

“Kyaaaaa!”
“Ahaha. Hey, look at his face!”

A female student putting her face in a wooden board with a hole in it.
He got hit by a water balloon thrown from the other side and was drenched.

Seeing that, it reminded me of my college life that I had forgotten.

… Our department also did that in the 2nd year.

During the day, they sold water balloons, and in the evening, they made snacks and sold them along with alcohol.

Oh, this is not the time.

I didn’t prepare anything for a festival, but girlfriends are different.
By now, your classmates or club members are probably working hard on something.

So from now on, I had to appreciate and support the results of their hard work for a month.

… First of all, where should I go? Ah!

Having made up my mind, I moved on with a sinister smile.

—

… Staring at me a lot

Since I am the only male, the eyes of girls from other schools are focused on me.
I was also a student at this school, so I got in through the right way, but I was worried because I was stabbed for no reason.

Still, if I felt uncomfortable, I thought I would be the only one to lose, so I pretended not to know and headed to my destination.

“Ohh.”

The place I arrived was one of several classrooms. The ordinary classroom until last Friday had become a completely different place due to the festival.

… You run a real maid cafe.

It is true that it often appears in Japanese animation.

You may ask what kind of maid cafe it is in college, but in fact, this festival was more like a mixture of a Korean university festival and a Japanese anime cultural festival.

Why? In the first place, this game was targeted at men who like subcultures.

“Welcome, Master!”
“Ah, ah… Yes.”

I answered vaguely to the sudden voice.
I just explained it in a smug manner, but to be honest, I’m not familiar with subcultures, so I wasn’t intolerant of places like this.

“I’ll guide you to a seat, Master.”

The same first-year girl I had run into a few times in the hallway was now serving customers in a maid outfit that looked like something out of an anime.

Just that fact alone made me feel awkward and embarrassed, so I quietly sat down at the table for one person as instructed.

“What would you like to order?”
“Oh, I’ll think about it and tell you.”
“Yes. Call me when you decide.”

… Wow, you paid attention.

New wallpaper was applied to the walls and floors, and instead of an ordinary desk, a table that could be used by young ladies was placed.

Judging by the expressions on the faces of the customers at the other tables, the quality of the food and service seemed good.

Oh, this is not the time to be like this.
I did not come to such an embarrassing place to make a meaningless evaluation.
For the sake of a precious spectacle that can only be seen at this time, I have pierced my shame and sat down here.

“Here you go?”

As I raised my hand and called, a passing maid turned to me.

“Yes, yes. Master… E, Ian?!”
“Hello, Dania.”

Her eyes widened.

“Oh, why did you come when I told you not to come!”
“I came because I wanted to see Dania in her maid uniform.”
“Keugh…”

She blushes and bites her lip.
Her hair, which used to be tied up neatly, is tied up in half, which is very feminine, and she is also wearing a maid outfit, not her usual maid outfit.

Seeing her embarrassed by that appearance made her feel as if she had been rewarded for coming this far.

“If you’re that embarrassed, don’t do that.”
“You asked so earnestly that I couldn’t refuse…”

Thanks to someone in class who scouted Dania.
She should enjoy the current situation so that her efforts are not in vain.

“Can you give me some omurice?”
“I get it.”
“Huh? That’s strange. Wasn’t this a maid cafe?”
“Ugh… Ah, I see. Master. Please wait a moment.”

The blushed face is worth seeing.
As I waited while chewing on that expression, omurice on a pretty plate was placed in front of me.

“Oh, enjoy your meal, master.”

He called her in her haste, as she hurriedly turned around and was about to disappear.

“Dania, hold on.”
“What, what is it?”
“Can I ask for a magic that makes it delicious?”
“…Can not be done.”
“Why not? It was clearly written on the menu board? If you pay extra, the maid will cast a magic to make it taste better.”
“…I’m begging you. Please eat quietly and go.”
“Now, you should enjoy what you eat. I’ll ask you for some magic.”
“You really…”

Dania glares at her, but is she going to hit her master from here?

Looking at her with her bright eyes, she finally recognized her own identity, and she lowered her head.

“…Only once.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
“Ha….”

Her two hands trembled and gathered together.
Dania, who made a big heart just like that, said with trembling lips.

“Oh, it’s going to be delicious… Hey, yap.”

A professional spirit that fires handmade hearts into omurice and even forcibly winks.

She tried to hold back, but her emotions were so great that laughter leaked out of her mouth again and again.

“Pu-heop, keuh-heop… I’ll eat well.”

It’s a pity that I can’t leave a video because it’s forbidden to take pictures in the cafe.
It would be nice if I could see the expression on her face when she just cast the spell and the way she was covering her face with her hands in embarrassment.

“I-I’m sure it’s done now? Quickly eat and go.”

Dania turns around and runs away from her seat.

She wanted to eat the omurice because it looked pretty good, but she felt regretful to finish the meal as it was.

… I want to play with Dania more, but is there any way?
It would be nice if the seduction magic worked on the staff here.

It was the moment when I activated Search Eyes without much thought.
Startled by the unexpected situation, she rubbed her eyes with her hands and looked straight ahead again.

… Is it green?

I don’t know if you remember, but when I turn on Search Eyes, I can determine whether or not the person in front of me is affected by my seduction magic.

In the past, my magic level was low, so when I looked at the students at the same magic school, I could see a red light, but now I see a clear green light.

… I learned a lot in school, so I must have grown up too.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have turned on Search Eyes a long time ago.

I don’t know when it became possible, but the past time, when I knew it wouldn’t be possible, felt like a loss for nothing.

So now how do you cast the charm spell?

Since her head was spinning especially well in this way, she quickly finished her thoughts and secretly snapped her fingers at another maid passing by.

“Excuse me.”
“Yes, master?”

Like a smuggler in a crime movie, he quietly whispered to the maid who came to the table.

“Is there a secret service here?”

A nonsensical sound that would make anyone shake their heads.
However, the maid caught my suggestion and answered naturally.

“Sure. Oh, are you going to order one?”
“Yes.”
“Who would you like?”
“Dania.”
