Under Yamada Ryo's precise critical hit, Ijichi Nijika ultimately chose to yield.
It was June, and also the rainy season. After walking all this way, her body was already sticky. She really wanted to take a bath… After taking a bath, she would definitely have to wash her clothes. Her backpack could only fit a towel and panties at most, so there was no choice but to wear the maid outfit.
"Nijika and I are going to take a bath."
Yamada Ryo, holding the clothes, walked into the bathroom.
Kitahara Makoto wasn't idle either; he went to the kitchen to wash the ingredients first.
Twenty minutes later.
Ryo and Nijika came out of the bathroom one after another. The two girls didn't soak or wash their hair, so their bathing speed wasn't slow.
"Hana, throw the clothes into the washing machine."
Nijika's voice rang out.
Following that was Hana's voice:
"Cupcake…"
Even her mother would use a cupcake as payment when asking her to do chores.
"I already gave you a cupcake when we just came in."
"..."
Kitahara Makoto wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, only to feel his eyes light up.
The maid outfits were proper maid outfits; there was no heart-shaped cutout at the chest, and the skirts fell to the knees. But seeing Nijika and Ryo wear them for the first time, he had to admit, they looked really great.
Yamada Ryo, being the pinnacle of short hair, had slightly damp hair at the moment, paired with her expressionless yet adorable profile, she was entirely a cool, ascetic type.
"But I always feel like something is missing…"
Kitahara Makoto's gaze shifted, and he looked at Nijika-senpai, who had just come out of the bathroom, finally realizing what was missing.
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Kitahara Makoto openly staring at her, Ijichi Nijika's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
Kitahara Makoto silently pulled out his phone and started snapping pictures:
"Nijika is super cute after changing outfits."
What was missing was shyness.
A maid who isn't shy definitely isn't a good maid.
"Stop taking pictures." Ijichi Nijika's pretty face turned even redder, and she said shyly yet reproachfully, "I'm not as cute as you say."
"This is my first time seeing Nijika in a maid outfit, so of course I have to take pictures as a souvenir." Kitahara Makoto said seriously, "If I don't take pictures, I'll definitely regret it for the rest of my life."
Ijichi Nijika couldn't help but retort, "It's just a maid outfit, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
"To Nijika, it might just be an ordinary piece of clothing, but to me…" Kitahara Makoto said softly while taking pictures, "At this very moment, the seventeen-year-old Nijika in a maid outfit will definitely become a unique golden memory in my life, forever etched into the depths of my soul."
"..."
Thump thump.
Ijichi Nijika pressed her right hand to her chest, clearly hearing the sound of her heart beating faster.
(Idiot, idiot! Why do I feel happy?! )
(It's clearly just sweet talk… He's so skilled, he must have said it to many other people!)
"Stare—"
Yamada Ryo crossed her arms over her chest, her face expressionless:
"I'm jealous."
Kitahara Makoto looked over at her upon hearing this: "Generally speaking, people who are jealous don't say they're jealous."
Yamada Ryo: "Because I'm not a general person."
"...Yamada Ryo, it's your turn."
Kitahara Makoto silently turned his phone towards Yamada Ryo.
It seemed he couldn't play favorites too much, otherwise even Ryo-senpai would get jealous.
Click, click.
Yamada Ryo, however, was quite cooperative, letting Kitahara Makoto take a few pictures, then said expectantly:
"Hurry up and play the game, I'm already dying of thirst."
"Okay."
Kitahara Makoto put away his phone, took out the game disc, and sat down on the sofa with Nijika and Ryo.
One minute later.
The three opened their eyes.
"We still didn't defeat the Boss." Yamada Ryo rolled around on the sofa, "Why didn't Nijika go forward and deal damage?"
Ijichi Nijika covered her chest with both hands, her pretty face flushed crimson:
"My clothes were already melted away, there's no way I could fight."
Yamada Ryo raised her chin: "I can."
Ijichi Nijika couldn't help but retort, "That's nothing to boast about!"
In the game space.
The three of them cleared monsters and advanced, directly confronting the slime Boss, but unfortunately, they were defeated again at the last moment.
Ryo could fight naked, but Nijika could never do it; people's sense of shame is not comparable.
"Speaking of which, the Boss only had a little bit of health left just now." Yamada Ryo tilted her head, "It seems Kitahara-kun's metaphysics really works."
Kitahara Makoto said shamelessly:
"That's natural. Tonight, I'll buy a few more maid outfits on Amazon, and you can rotate wearing them in the future."
Kitahara Makoto wasn't sure if maid outfits could increase critical hits, but as the number of games increased, everyone would naturally become more skilled.
Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, it certainly wasn't a loss.
Ijichi Nijika glared at him irritably, clearly seeing through Kitahara Makoto's sinister intentions, and stood up:
"It's getting late, hurry up and prepare the meal."
"..."
The number of game plays had been used up, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening. Kitahara Makoto turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Ijichi Nijika had originally planned to stay in the living room, but her innate sense of responsibility prevented her from standing by. After a moment of hesitation, she ultimately walked into the kitchen in her maid outfit to help.
When the meal was almost finished, Kitahara Makoto found an excuse to slip out of the kitchen and came before Yamada Ryo, who was watching TV.
"Yamada Ryo, there's something I need to ask you."
Kitahara Makoto whispered.
"Well, sneaking over like this, is it something Nijika shouldn't know?" Yamada Ryo blinked, then suddenly raised her hand to cover her chest, "Kitahara-kun really couldn't hold back and wants to do all sorts of lewd things to me?"
Kitahara Makoto said expressionlessly:
"If I really wanted to do lewd things to you, I would definitely choose a time when Nijika isn't around."
Yamada Ryo suddenly shook her head: "No."
"Hmm?"
A question mark appeared above Kitahara Makoto's head.
What did she mean by suddenly saying no?
Yamada Ryo glanced towards the kitchen and whispered:
"It's more stimulating with Nijika nearby."
Kitahara Makoto: "..."
Good heavens!
I didn't realize you had such an incredible perverted Hobbies!
"Yamada Ryo, let's go to the room upstairs to talk."
Kitahara Makoto silently changed the subject.
"Hmm."
The two tiptoed upstairs and arrived at Kitahara Makoto's room.
"This is a redemption coupon signed by Yamada Ryo herself." Kitahara Makoto took out the universal redemption coupon and lightly coughed twice, saying, "Due to some reasons that are difficult to explain, I want to redeem Yamada Ryo's cosplay today."
"Hmm?" Yamada Ryo tilted her head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"It's this…"
Kitahara Makoto took out his phone and found the famous scene of 'looking at your panties with a disgusted expression'.
"You actually want me to call you a pervert with a disgusted look on my face, Kitahara-kun, you really are a pervert."
Yamada Ryo covered her skirt and took half a step back.
No, no, by any measure, what you just said was more perverted!
