Looking at the aloof and beautiful head maid, Li Wei sensed that her aura was exceptionally clean, indicating that she was a virtuous and self-disciplined girl. Moreover, she was one of the most beautiful girls Li Wei had ever seen in the real world; with such looks, she could easily star in TV dramas and movies.
However, after seeing so many beautiful women, although the other woman was indeed very charming, it wasn't enough to make him lose his composure.
Chapter 1. Maid Cafe
Li Wei had never been to a maid café before. Before gaining superhuman powers, Li Wei lived a frugal life to save money. Even when buying the models he wanted, he would compare prices from three different stores and choose the one with the best cost performance. So, he would only glance at extremely bourgeois places like maid cafés when he passed by.
As for now, Li Wei still doesn't have much interest in maid cafes. After all, maid cafes are places where you can "look but not eat," and no matter how pretty the maids are, can they be as pretty as his companions on the floating island?
But now, Li Wei had unknowingly been drawn into a maid café. Li Wei thought that it must be the maids' enthusiasm that moved him. The most important thing was that the exhibition he was originally looking forward to had failed, so he changed his mind at the last minute.
Li Wei looked at the aloof head maid and said, "Just give me the menu."
The aloof head maid was somewhat disappointed, but obediently placed the menu in front of Li Wei. Maid cafes have a tradition similar to that of the Chong Kingdom, where the maids announce the names of the dishes, which is also an opportunity for them to show off their charm.
Maid cafes are not just like those in anime where you just sell food and drinks. The main source of income for maid cafes is their companionship and chat services. So, showcasing your charm in these areas can help you market yourself better and get customers to choose you as their companion or chat partner.
Looking at the menu, Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly. It was all flashy and fancy, but the food was actually pretty much the same. For example, the "Love's Magic Omelet Rice" was basically just an omelet rice served with a maid acting out a magical girl entrance, squeezing ketchup or other sauces on top, and writing special words or drawing simple patterns according to the customer's request.
Despite his inner complaints, Li Wei was honestly quite looking forward to seeing this aloof and elegant head maid play the role of a magical girl in front of him. After all, her aloof style aroused an inexplicable desire to conquer her, and she was also a rare beauty in the real world, so Li Wei had some ideas in mind.
Of course, he still mainly uses the other person as a tool, since the Chinese New Year is coming soon and Li Wei will be returning to China, so he plans to find a female companion.
Although Li Wei could use magic to hypnotize a beautiful woman to come back to his country with him, to be honest, he didn't want to use magic too much in the real world.
Because the real world is like a single-player game to him now, excessive use of cheat codes will only make the game experience boring and tedious, which is not what he wants.
Therefore, in order to establish as many "anchor points" as possible for himself as a human, Li Wei will not use magic unless absolutely necessary. After all, if he wanted to, he could become the king of the world in thirty minutes, but would such a life be interesting? That's why, like a certain hand-fetish, perverted office worker, he only wants to live a peaceful life in the real world.
The reason Li Wei chose the aloof and beautiful head maid was that she was very chaste. Although she was over ten years old, she had retained her virginity, which was extremely rare in Japan, almost like a giant panda.
Then there's the other person's looks and temperament; compared to those cute maids, she's more to Li Wei's liking.
That's why Li Wei decided to let the other person into his life. He had to admit that he was a rather lazy person in life, and that cooking was like going to the execution ground for him every time, not to mention washing dishes.
Only now, with his extraordinary powers, is he able to escape from the tedious housework. Now, having someone to take care of him in real life is a good thing.
It can be said that if he hadn't gained extraordinary power and become someone who was above ordinary people, then this aloof and beautiful girl in front of him would be the type of partner that Li Wei most desired.
Li Wei said, "A serving of Magic Omelette Rice, and a cup of Coke. Oh, and you'll be the one to cast the spell on the omelette rice."
Seeing Li Wei's slightly playful smile, a blush appeared on the head maid's face. Her original aloofness was broken, and the huge contrast made even Li Wei, who was used to seeing beauties, feel a little expectant.
Li Wei sensed that the other woman was probably a newbie who hadn't been working there long. If she were a seasoned maid, she would probably have already started to climb the social ladder and build rapport with the customers by now. But she hadn't, which meant that her aloofness wasn't just a persona, but that she was genuinely a bit awkward in social situations. Li Wei felt like he had struck gold.
Li Wei asked, "What's wrong, Gong?"
The head maid shook her head and said, "No problem, leave the magic to me."
The head maid withdrew, greeted the kitchen staff, and then returned to Li Wei's side. However, she wasn't very good at socializing, so she seemed a little awkward when interacting with Li Wei. In contrast, the other maids in the coffee shop got along very well with the customers. This stark contrast made the head maid somewhat uncomfortable.
Li Wei said, "Sit down. Now I am your master. Can you grant me this request?"
Li Wei wore a sunny smile that made the head maid's heart race. It's not just men who love to look at beautiful women; women love to look at handsome men too. Li Wei's looks were quite striking, and he was already suppressing his charm. If he were to unleash his full charm, he would bring chaos wherever he went.
The head maid sat down obediently, appearing somewhat reserved. Her racing heartbeat made her face flushed, and her mind was a little foggy. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. She didn't even have the courage to look Li Wei in the eye.
She only found this job today and started her internship. After all, the tuition for the junior college she attends is not cheap. In order to cover her living expenses, she chooses to work part-time during her spare time. However, the income from part-time work is not high, and she has always been struggling to make ends meet. It was because of this that she saw the recruitment flyer for a maid cafe in Akihabara. After seeing the benefits listed, she was tempted and came over.
However, because of her overly aloof and elegant demeanor, the customers felt very uncomfortable in her presence. So, on her first day of work, not a single customer specifically requested her. Despite being the most beautiful maid in the shop, she was the least popular. She had come with a "let's give it a try" attitude, but to her surprise, Li Wei actually let her stay.
Chapter 4. The Flustered Head Maid
Looking at the other person's adorable reaction, even without using mind-reading techniques, Li Wei could glean a fairly good understanding of her current mood simply by reading her micro-expressions. The head maid was already quite nervous.
Li Wei said softly, "Relax. I'm not a man-eating beast. I can feel that your heart rate is a bit fast, which is not good for your health."
Li Wei's words made the head maid even more embarrassed. She hadn't expected to be so nervous in front of Li Wei. She secretly blamed herself for being so nervous because Li Wei was just too handsome.
The head maid glanced at Li Wei furtively. Li Wei still had a smile on his face, as if nothing could affect his mood. His sunny disposition made people feel as if they were sitting opposite him, like the warm spring sun and a gentle breeze.
The head maid said somewhat reservedly, "This is my first time being a maid, and I don't know what a maid is supposed to do. I was supposed to receive training today, but it was canceled because the manager didn't come. I don't know anything, and this is how I started working."
Li Wei rested his chin on his hand and said, "When I came in earlier, I saw you sitting in the corner. I was a little surprised when you walked over."
The head maid clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, her legs pressed tightly together, and said nervously, "I thought you... Master, you would reject me. I tried several times today, and you are the first person to accept me."
Because the head maid knew nothing about the place, she was extremely nervous, and when she was nervous, she would put on a cold face. Although she was incredibly beautiful and charming when she had no expression, far surpassing the other maids in the shop, her cold face also put immense psychological pressure on those who faced her.
Customers come to the shop looking for fun and naturally hope to relax. So, even though the head maid is the prettiest maid in the shop, no one dares to call her out. After all, most of the people who come to maid cafes are otaku, and many otaku in Japan have difficulty socializing. They feel awkward when faced with the other incredibly enthusiastic maids, let alone the head maid who is as cold and aloof as a queen. They are all scared out of their wits and don't dare to have any impure thoughts.
Li Wei said, "I see. I didn't expect you to be a new maid who hasn't received any training. It's understandable that you're nervous. You're very different from the other maids here. I can smell the scent of books on you, which the other maids don't have."
In Japan, only a minority of people can go to university. Most people start working after graduating from high school. In Japan, if you don't plan to go to university, it doesn't really matter how high your grades are. As long as you can just barely pass the exams to graduate, that's enough. So, the percentage of academically weak students among high school graduates in Japan is quite astonishing.
Most academically weak students don't like reading, but the head maid in front of Li Wei, besides her cold and beautiful temperament, also had an indescribable scholarly air about her. Li Wei had already imagined her wearing glasses, which made her even more stunning.
Li Wei didn't use mind-reading, but based on some details the other person showed, he deduced that the other person was probably a college student who was working here to earn some living expenses or tuition fees. In Japan, apart from a few top public universities where tuition is relatively cheap, the tuition fees of equally good private universities, as well as those universities that are relatively less prestigious, are not cheap, and there are not many subsidies for poor students. Therefore, it is very common for college students to work.
The head maid was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Li Wei to be so perceptive. She had worked part-time as a librarian at the school for a while, but the librarian's salary was too low. To make ends meet, she had to find enough work. However, the cashier jobs at convenience stores and bookstores didn't pay well, so she came to Akihabara to work as a maid at a maid café.
Cashier jobs at convenience stores and bookstores only pay a few dollars per hour, but even such jobs are highly sought after, and it's not always possible to get one.
At the maid cafe, even without customers requesting her services, she could still earn a fixed hourly wage, and with commission, it could be even higher. Moreover, she could work an hour a day at the cafe, spending her free time as a maid in Akihabara, which was far better than working at a convenience store or bookstore.
The head maid said, "I'm a college student. I used to be a librarian at the university. When I was working, I spent most of my time in bookstores, so I must have picked up some of the smell of books on me."
Li Wei said, "I like reading, so I'm quite sensitive to the smell of paper. I also enjoy interacting with people who also like reading. However, in Japan, people who like reading are ultimately a minority."
Books are the ladder of human progress. Although this statement is somewhat extreme, Li Wei also thinks it makes a lot of sense.
The difference between people who read and those who don't is enormous. When talking to someone who reads, Li Wei can sense that their language is very organized, making communication easy and simple. However, when communicating with someone who doesn't read, their language is very scattered, so he has to mentally organize their thoughts to understand their precise meaning. This is also related to the difference in language structure between Japan and Chinese. As a native Chinese speaker, Li Wei can only "assemble" the meaning of what the non-reading Japanese people are trying to convey.
Li Wei looked at the other person and said, "I'm curious which university you're from. I think your academic performance must be quite good. Your school must be one of the more famous schools in Tokyo."
The head maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "I study at Ocha Girls' University."
The head maid didn't want to reveal too much about herself in such a place, but Levi's charm was just too great. When she saw Levi's curious expression, her defenses were instantly broken down, and she revealed her information.
She wasn't a local from Tokyo, but from Hokkaido. Her family wasn't wealthy, and she couldn't get much financial support from them. Plus, Ocha Girls' University was full of weirdos, so she couldn't compete with that guy for scholarships. Therefore, she had to work part-time to make ends meet.
Furthermore, Ocha Girls' University does not have dormitories for domestic students, so she has to rent a place outside. Living in a big city is not easy, and after deducting her daily living expenses and monthly rent from her part-time job income, she can hardly save any money, so she has always lived a very tight life.
Chapter 1. Living in a Big City is Not Easy
Li Wei showed a "surprised" expression and said, "That's really amazing. Ocha Women's University is known as the women's version of Tokyo Metropolitan University. However, in recent years, Ocha Women's University has started to enroll a small number of male students. Strictly speaking, the word 'women' in the name can be dropped."
The head maid said, "The idea of a female version of Tokyo Metropolitan University is a bit of an exaggeration. Tokyo Metropolitan University is where the real elite gather. Ocha Girls' University is far inferior to Tokyo Metropolitan University. My academic performance is actually not very good. I can't even get a scholarship at school."
The head maid gave a wry smile. The top student at the school was incredibly gifted, and as an outsider with insufficient knowledge, she could only barely keep up academically.
These days, studying has become a matter of family wealth. In high school, one can rely on talent, but in college, she finally realized how big the gap is between herself and her peers who were born into wealthy families. Now, she only wants to keep up and graduate smoothly.
If she can graduate smoothly, her degree from Ocha Girls' University will be enough to find a decent job and allow her to gradually settle down in Tokyo.
Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm also a college student. My grades aren't that great. Most of the top students went to Dongda University, while I'm just an ordinary art student."
The head maid looked curious. Li Wei gave off a very warm feeling, while artists, in the eyes of ordinary people, often seemed a bit neurotic. She found it hard to believe that Li Wei, with such a personality, could be an art student. Of course, this preconceived notion was a common misunderstanding many people have about art students; people tend to react this way to some extent when faced with a field they don't understand.
The head maid said, "The art university in Tokyo... could it be Tokyo University of the Arts?"
Li Wei nodded.
The head maid looked surprised. Tokyo University of the Arts is considered the pinnacle of art education. Although it is an art academy, Tokyo University of the Arts has very strict requirements for academic performance. Students studying there face double pressure, and those who can graduate can be called elites.
The sounds from the kitchen came through the discreet in-ear headphones. After the head maid quietly apologized to Li Wei, she went to the kitchen to retrieve the order form.
Back at the booth, the head maid looked at Li Wei's amused smile and felt her head spinning. Li Wei had previously said that she would "cast a spell" for her. As a new maid, she felt incredibly shy watching her companions in the other booths jumping and dancing in front of the omelet rice.
However, Li Wei was a guest, and as long as a guest's request did not involve personal insult or indecent assault, the maid had no right to refuse. Even without training, the head maid knew this.
The head maid took a deep breath, stood in front of the omelet rice, and stiffly began to mimic the magical girl's movements. In her lackluster, somewhat cold voice, she began, "Magical girl Miyu-chan loves you, lovelove! Boo-boo..."
The head maid hesitated, especially when she saw Li Wei's upturned lips. The shyness in her heart made her not know what to say. After all, she had not undergone professional maid training. She had only imitated the appearance of her other colleagues. Her ability to respond in the context of a coffee shop maid was very weak.
Seeing the other person's embarrassed look, Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Judging from your expression, you probably won't be able to finish talking about the rest."
The head maid, her face flushed, sat down, her head bowed, not daring to look at Li Wei. Li Wei noticed her shyness. What had just happened was probably similar to a humiliating play for her, who had just started working. Those coffee shop maids who were very skilled at doing this kind of thing had not only received special training but also had a certain amount of experience, which was why they were so skilled.
Li Wei cut the omelet rice with a spoon. The omelet rice at the maid cafe is relatively simple to make. If it weren't for the maids "coloring" it in the last step, the omelet rice at the maid cafe would not be as good as the ones at home restaurants.
The head maid was a little reserved and didn't know how to start a conversation. She hadn't received any relevant training in this area. Li Wei wasn't just an ordinary otaku; he was a top student at Tokyo University of the Arts. Topics that worked for an average otaku might not work for Li Wei.
Li Wei used a soup spoon to cut the omelet rice and put it into his mouth with elegant movements. It has to be said that when a person is good-looking, everything they do is pleasing to the eye. In ancient times, there was Xi Shi holding her heart and Dong Shi imitating her. As long as Li Wei's actions were not picking his nose or sneezing, they were pleasing to the eye in the eyes of the opposite sex.
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··
The head maid felt that she and Li Wei had switched places. Originally, Li Wei should have been the guest, but now, she was the one looking at the handsome man.
The omelet rice was devoured in no time, and the iced cola was finished. Li Wei pushed the plate aside, and a professional waiter from the coffee shop quickly came over and cleared away the used plates. The division of labor in the maid coffee shop is very clear: the maids' duty is to encourage customers to spend money and increase the shop's revenue as much as possible, while the professional waiters do various logistical tasks and try not to delay the maids' time.
... ...
Li Wei said, "If possible, I would prefer to run into you at the library, but the current situation is fine too. Can we exchange contact information?"
The head maid was somewhat surprised. Maids in the coffee shop are strictly prohibited from getting too close to customers. Work is work, and life is life. The coffee shop does not allow the maids' private matters to affect the overall operation of the shop, so this rule was established.
The head maid said somewhat awkwardly, "Master, there are rules in the shop."
Li Wei laughed and said, "I understand, and I can also understand what the coffee shop is doing. But rules are rigid, but people are flexible, aren't they? Besides, a job like a coffee shop maid isn't suitable for you. I can sense that you're forcing yourself."
The head maid didn't know how to answer Li Wei, because she had only worked there for less than a day and found that her quiet and introverted personality was not suitable for this kind of environment. She could do this kind of work for a short time, but doing it for a long time would only cause her psychological problems.
Because the head maid didn't like to flatter others. The other maids, for the sake of making a living, had to serve the customers who came into the store like royalty, no matter how strange they were, but she didn't like that.
It was precisely because of this that, compared to the other maids' initiative and enthusiasm, she appeared much more passive. After several failed attempts, she huddled in a corner watching others. It was only when Li Wei entered the shop that she mustered the courage to try again.
