[Miyabigaoka] Meido no Hitsuji

[Apollymi]

A maid cafe situated in the lower portion of a nice brickwork building located between the perpetual construction zone and the residential district Miyabigaoka. It employs young men and young women who wear uniforms to serve and play hosts to their guests. It is run by a man named Waka who is both tall and impeccably dressed. At this establishment the maids and butlers are required to address their patrons with the utmost respect. Their only job is to make sure that their guests have the most pleasant experience possible.

Early one Thursday afternoon, the Sky King by the name of Takeuchi Shoichi encroached upon the maid cafe. He had surprisingly never visited this place before, but on this day, he had business here. Of course, that wouldn't stop him from relaxing after stopping by. He couldn't even be sure whether the person he sought here would actually be found, after all, but that hardly mattered, as he stilled pushed open the door and stepped inside to see what awaited him within.

Shoichi was stepping into the Maid Cafe for the first time, but the workers there would greet him as if he were a constant fixture around this place. Such was their job as they workers in this establishment. A group of maids dressed in varying degrees of a similar black and white french maid uniform all stood before the door. The ones who weren't working with customers would utter a greeting which was common in their line of work. "Okaerinasaimase, goshujinsama!~" there were many voices among these, and two of them were ones the young Sky King might recognize. One belonged to a rather scantily clad red haired maid with a skull shaped bow holding back the bangs of her styled red ponytail. Her modified maid outfit was a short skirt open midriff and thigh high black tights. The other belonged to a pink haired girl whose hair was up in a high bun with bangs and the light waves hanging loosely down below. This girl, had an entirely different appeal and seemed to be rather innocent and soft voiced. She was Nishimura Mikasa, the Thunder Queen of his generation. Unlike her co-worker, her maid uniform was modest and covered everything but fitted to the appeal that was the sweet look of her personality.

"Ohayou gozaimasu!" Shoichi said in response to the group of maids who greeted him. The two recognizable voices caught his ear, and though he was here for the red-haired woman, he was far too astounded by the presence of the other to not comment on it. "Eh? Mikasa? You have a job?" he asked, taking a brief pause before posing an even more imperative query. "... You have a maid outfit!?"

The pink haired girl looked directly at the Sky King and went white in the face. Completely pale as if she'd seen a ghost, it was completely and utterly shocking to her that he was here. After all she figured this place was one of the safest for not unnecessarily running into her peers. Right after the thought of that though the girl's face blushed intensely and she bowed immediately her large eyes pleading. "Sho-nii, I ah. Of course, I have a job, that shouldn't be surprising, I'm 19 years old and I live alone. I have to pay my rent. " and that was all she had to say about that. This would immediately caused her red haired senior to look at the blushing girl with a big grin on her face. But Mikasa would go on to explain about the outfit. "And the costume comes with the job..." she said. That pleading look returned to her eyes as she spoke again. "Please, please don't tell the others about this. I'd die." she said small tears coming to the corners of her eyes. She'd been really good about not crying about every little thing since they revisited their Tower, but the stress of this job seemed to bring back a few of her more childish tenancies.

"Mika-chan you know this guy?" were the words which came from the red haired young woman known as Akemi. Mikasa looked at the woman and nodded. "Hai, Senpai. Sho-nii is an old friend of mine. We... grew up together." she said knowing that explaining the life of gravity children to people who didn't know or understand it would be remarkable. Still a smile came to the woman's face as she also bowed, after all she was still on the clock. "Ah no worries then, but remember we're still on the clock. " she offered the small bit of advice to the girl as her eyes flicked over to the manager who was strolling through. Mikasa took the hint and bowed as well and they spoke in unison. "Who would you like to serve you, goshujinsama?"

"Ah, sou ka. Y'know, you could always just get a room at my place," Shoichi asserted, only remembering then that the house he lived in was now his by deed. "Oh, right. The house is mine now. No rent. So, y'know... if rent is stressin' ya' out and all..." As for the lass begging him not to tell the others about this job of hers, he merely nodded, only to then have his attention dragged toward the redhead he'd come to see. "Yare yare. I gotta choose between maids? That just ain't fair~" he said, though he then looked toward Mikasa. "Gomen. I gotta go with Kagami-san on this one. Next time, though."
