Fuyuki City. Two beautiful maidens walked hand-in-hand down the bustling street. The girl on the left had short blonde hair, a divinely beautiful face constantly beaming with smiles. The girl on the other side had long, brilliant blue hair like the starry sky, purple eyes, and a beauty comparable to the girl beside her. Her gentle smile made hearts flutter.
This pair of women constantly attracted the gaze of countless passersby on the street.
This pair was naturally Aika Sajyou and Asagami Fujino, and they were currently on a date. Mentioning this, Asagami Fujino couldn't help but recall the resentful looks everyone gave her that morning when she announced she was going on a date with Aika Sajyou. Those who hadn't yet entered a relationship with Asagami Fujino, such as Alice, Lia, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Scáthach, were relatively fine. But Touko and the others had strong objections, immediately launching into a barrage of complaints against Asagami Fujino. Just as expected last night, Touko brought up the issue of two more people joining the household. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been teased by Asagami Fujino, kept interjecting to undermine Asagami Fujino. In the end, Asagami Fujino had to swear that she would properly date them all before Touko and her group let her go.
Asagami Fujino had used the power of the Cosmic Dragon King to change her original purple long hair to blue, wanting a change of pace. It seemed the effect was quite good, but seeing many people on the road staring at her and Aika still made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Fujino, where are we going now?" After being corrected before heading out, Aika no longer called Asagami Fujino "Princess" in front of others. After all, Asagami Fujino still felt a bit embarrassed being called that in public, so she had Aika call her by her name directly.
"Aika, let's go have some fun over there." Asagami Fujino pulled Aika's hand and walked toward a shop not far away—a Maid Café.
"Okaeri, Goshujin-sama! (Welcome home, My Master!)"
Upon entering the shop, they heard the maid's pleasant voice. Should one say this was worthy of the "Two-Dimensional" world? Even the looks of the ordinary staff were quite good.
However, compared to Sakuya, they were far inferior. But Asagami Fujino wasn't picky; she was just trying it out. She had wanted to go before, but facing the dual problems of lack of money and lack of time, she couldn't fulfill this wish. Now that she had both, she naturally had to give it a try.
Asagami Fujino and Aika appearing in the Maid Café attracted the attention of everyone inside, as their looks were far more beautiful than any of the maids in the shop.
Asagami Fujino and Aika Sajyou casually found a window seat and sat down.
"Fujino, why did we come here?" Aika Sajyou looked at Asagami Fujino, confused. This deviated somewhat from the plan she had envisioned. Shouldn't they be going to a secluded Hotel or something, setting up a Candlelight Dinner, and then, in a good atmosphere, she would passionately confess her love to her Princess? Why a Maid Café?
"What are you thinking about! It's only morning! Why are you setting up a Candlelight Dinner?" Asagami Fujino looked helplessly at Aika Sajyou. Out of curiosity, she briefly read Aika's mind, only to find Aika was thinking about all these strange things.
Fortunately, Asagami Fujino had only read Aika's mind superficially. If she had continued reading deeper, Asagami Fujino would have discovered Aika's more profound thoughts.
"Fujino, why would you do that!" Aika looked anxiously at Asagami Fujino. If Asagami Fujino had read her true thoughts, she would definitely be hated.
"Alright, I won't read it again. It was just curiosity," Asagami Fujino quickly said.
"Mhm," Aika replied softly, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Judging by her Princess's reaction, she must not have read those things in her heart. That was good.
"Goshujin-sama, what would you like?" The maid attendant walked over, a sweet smile on her face.
"Let me see." Asagami Fujino picked up the Menu, flipping through it while asking Aika, "Aika, what would you like to order?"
"Fujino, just decide for me." Aika rested her chin on her hands and smiled. Looking at her Princess from this distance, Aika felt that the Princess was truly adorable.
"Then I'll have two servings of Omurice, plus two glasses of Apple Juice. Also, please write this sentence on the Omurice." Asagami Fujino leaned in and whispered a few words into the maid's ear, causing the maid's face to instantly turn red.
"Thank you for your trouble." Asagami Fujino smiled at the blushing maid, pressing her palms together.
"Y-yes." The maid nodded quickly, her face red, and shyly hurried away.
"Fujino, what did you say to that woman?" After the maid left, Aika's face was filled with displeasure. They were supposed to be on a date, yet her Princess was being intimate with that little maid. Just now, Aika had barely restrained herself from Humanely Destroying the maid, making her completely vanish from the world.
"It's a secret." Asagami Fujino tried to cutely blink her eyes. After doing so, she felt a little disgusted; as a big man in her past life, she had never performed such a gesture.
However, it seemed to work wonders on Aika. Her face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her head, her hands intertwined and resting on her skirt.
Seeing Aika in this state, Asagami Fujino couldn't resist the urge to tease her, but suddenly her attention was drawn to someone else.
Golden short hair, a standing ahoge, and a black suit—it was none other than the Saber of this Holy Grail War, the famous King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon.
The two girls were noticed by Saber, who possessed A-rank Instinct. However, Saber's gaze only lingered briefly on Asagami Fujino's brilliant blue hair, which resembled the starry sky, as such a hair color was truly rare. She quickly withdrew her attention. There was no trace of Prana on either of them, and her Instinct had no reaction. Saber simply regarded them as a pair of beautiful, ordinary girls.
"Saber, what's wrong?" Maiya Hisau, who was beside Saber, asked.
"It's nothing," Saber shook her head. "Just a pair of ordinary girls."
"Is that so?" Maiya Hisau looked towards where Asagami Fujino and Aika Sajyou were sitting. She only saw Asagami Fujino's long hair and Aika Sajyou's face, and felt a hint of astonishment in her heart. That hair color was truly beautiful and eye-catching.
Maiya Hisau quickly withdrew her gaze. Since she sensed no Prana, Maiya Hisau also regarded Asagami Fujino and Aika Sajyou as ordinary people, just like Saber did.
"Saber, let's go. There's a buffet ahead. Let's settle our meal there," Maiya Hisau said. She had witnessed Saber's terrifying 'King's Stomach' back at Einzbern. It would be difficult to satisfy her at any other restaurant; by contrast, an all-you-can-eat buffet was much more convenient and cost-effective.
Hearing there was food, the ahoge on Saber's head instantly stood up like an antenna. Although she was excited inside, she maintained a calm facade and said, "Indeed, hunger is the great enemy!"
Maiya Hisau was used to this look. It was quite amusing to see that the legendary King Arthur had such a side to her.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
"Great, they're finally gone." Seeing Saber and Maiya Hisau disappear, Aika was very happy. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about a fight breaking out and ruining her date with the Princess.
"Alright, don't worry about them." Patting Aika's little head, Asagami Fujino used her authority over The Root to ensure Saber's group wouldn't appear before their date ended.
"Master, here are your meals~" The maid who had left blushing earlier now walked over carrying a tray.
Quickly setting down two servings of omurice and two glasses of apple juice, the maid hurriedly retreated with her tray. If she stayed any longer, she felt she might turn 'bent.' Of course, Aika's piercing gaze from the side also made her feel a bit afraid.
The Body of Enchantment combined with world affinity was incredibly lethal to ordinary people without mystery. If Asagami Fujino hadn't suppressed its power before coming out, the maid would have already become her loyal servant, the kind she could play with at will. That was also why she had blushed earlier.
Two servings of omurice, one of which had 'Mystery' written on it in ketchup.
"Here, Aika, this one is for you." Asagami Fujino smiled and pushed the one with ketchup writing in front of Aika.
"This is?!"
Aika covered her mouth with both hands, her fair cheeks turning red like the evening sunset.
"Do you like it?"
Asagami Fujino propped her cheek with one hand, her lips curling into a smile as she admired the beautiful sight of Aika.
"Yes! I love it!"
Answering firmly, two lines of tears slowly trickled down from the corners of her eyes.
Outside the cafe, in a corner of an alley not far from the Maid Cafe, Aoko was wearing dark sunglasses and was wrapped tightly in a black coat. She peeked out from the alley, looking at where Asagami Fujino and Aika were sitting.
"Why is that girl crying?"
With her excellent eyesight, Aoko could see the tears on Aika's face. Of course, that was all she could see; other details weren't very clear. Aoko didn't dare use any magecraft, as Asagami Fujino would surely notice. She had originally just come out for some fresh air and to take Sakura and the other Little Lolis out to play, but she hadn't expected to run into Asagami Fujino and Aika walking into the Maid Cafe. Unable to resist her curiosity, Aoko let Sakura and the others play on their own while she secretly followed to observe. As for the safety of Sakura and the others, Aoko wasn't worried. After all, Scáthach and the others had taught them when they were free. Although they were just Little Lolis, they possessed abilities close to a Grand Magician, largely because Asagami Fujino used her power to cleanse their bodies and enhance their potential.
