>Nice!

>That's awesome, Chouno-san!
>Th-Thank you...
>Man~ That really suits you, Chouno-san!

>Cute!! Awesome!! Wonderful!!
>>Foo!! Foo!!

>Uwaah~ Uwaah~ Uwaah~
>Hah... Hah... Hah...
>That embarrassed look on you is the best!!! Very nice!!

>Very nice!!!
>Nice! Nice! So cute! Woop woop!!!
>>whistle~
>What even are you?
>It's not even making a sound.

>>Two chapters this month! Here's the first!

p2
>But you're right about it being cute.
>This could bring about a lot of customers.
>Ooh~
>Y-You jest...
>>Maid

>But I've got student council work, so I might have to slip out frequently...
>I see...

>The normal shift is two hours, but if that's too much then it's okay if you just do an hour at a time.
>Is there a time slot that works for you?
>This and this are already taken.

>Ah, erm. Maybe this one...
>Okay. It's decided, then.

>Which one?
>When is Chouno-san's shift gonna be?
>Uwaah...
>I really don't want to tell you, Ootani~...
>How mean.

>U-Um.
>I'll be heading to the student council then...
>Ah, sure. Do your best.

p3
>Ootani, should I put you on the same shift at Chouno-san?
>I'm sure you'd like that.

>Eh? No way.

>>Student council

>Ts-Ts-Ts-Ts-Tsukkunnnnn!!!

>Tsuzu, you'll break down the down.
>Waaaaaaaaah
>Tsukkun! Tsukkun! Tsukkun!

>Hello. Student council here!
>We came to see how things are progressing!

p4
>Okay.
>Erm, here's the checklist for Class 2-1.

>Ah!!

>A maid uniform!!
>Kya!
>We only had enough time to make three of them though.

>We'll have some really cute girls wearing them, so please come on by!!
>I certainly will!!!

>But I was certain you'd want to work shifts with us, Ootani.
>I'm surprised.
>What are you saying?

>If I was working a shift with everyone, I'd be too busy to appreciate Chouno-san in her maid outfit, wouldn't I?
>You just don't get it, Tsukachi~
>Uwah.

>Plus I can just come as a customer!
>Don't come. We'll be busy.
>How cruel!

>Having you come by and ogle us while we're desperately working our butts off would just piss me off.
>Eh~

p5
>I just want to be waited upon...
>>sniff uweeh uuu
>No, it's nothing worth crying about.

>Um...

>Being a customer is fine and all, but wouldn't working off each other on the same shift be more heart-throbbing?
>Oh?

>Order up!
>Uwah.

>Sounds nice...
>Right~?

>Not to mention that by acting like a customer while pracisting from the main event, you'll get to enjoy the maids while they're still awkward and unrefined, right?
>Ooh?

>Uwah.

>Are you a genius!?
>That sounds great!
>It is great, isn't it!?

p6
>Uwah~ Oh man~ My heart's throbbing~
>Hah... Hah... Hah...
>I know, right~?

>This is my first time seeing someone on the same wavelength as Ootani...
>This could be bad.
>Aha.

>Um, this bit on the shirt.
>If you remove the button and sew the cuffs, it should look prettier.

>Even without sewing, you can simply tape up the hems.
>I'll just try sewing it a little.
>Ooh, I see.

>To think the student council teaches stuff like this too.
>Ooh, you've got a good eye for sewing.
>Ahaha. I don't that's relevant to the student council.

>Is sewing your strength?
>I wouldn't call it a strength.
>I just like doing it.

>Since you're here, I'd like a good idea on how it looks while worn.
>Could you try it on for us?
>I want a cute girl to wear it.

>Eh?

p7
>Uuh
>hic
>sniff
>hic

>sob sob sob
>Hmm.

>I think you may have misheard her...
>I didn't mishear.
>She hates me.

>There has to be a resolute reason for it.
>And I'm gonna talk to her to find out what it is!!
>What's with the presentational tone?
>You're pretty energetic.

>I'm always so busy with the student council that I'm barely in the classroom.
>That's because you're always shy with strangers and seclude yourself in the student council office.

>Even when they invite me to hang out after school, I've never once gone with them.
>I've never once posted on the class group messageboard either.
>No, why are you being so stubborn about this?
>It's fine.

>I'm fine as long as I have you, Tsukkun...
>And Ichinose-san, of course.

p8
>Even if you say that, Tsuzu,
>what will you do about this year's school excursion?
>Neither I nor Ichinose-san will be there.
>Ugh.

>Not to mention
>that I'll be graduating next year.
>Uuuuuuh

>Uwaaahn
>Why are you saying that?
>Why do you have to graduate?
>Why did you have to be a third year, Tsukkun?
>There's no point asking me why...

>Come on. Wash your face.
>Okay...

>...Sorry.
>For making you hide.
