In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

The Grand Formal Cafe is the project chosen by Kaguya's class this year. All the girls in the class changed into elegant grand formal maid outfits. In this era when Japanese maid short skirts are popular, it does give people a good sense of freshness. However, for Haruno, the sense of freshness is not very good. For some reasons, she often goes to Riko-Riko recently, and has become immune to the grand formal maid outfits of the two top beauties, Chitsuka and Takina.

"Our black tea is imported from Hassam. From picking to roasting to shipping to the country, we use the highest standards in order to provide the best black tea for the young ladies."

At the table of Honghong and Yangno, Kaguya, wearing a light pink maid outfit, was brewing black tea for the two of them while explaining the origin of tea.

But Honghong and Yangno were obviously not interested in Kaguya's explanation at all. Yangno was still screaming in pretending to be surprised, while Honghong was already swaying left and right out of boredom, her head constantly looking towards the door, waiting for Ouyang Falcon to arrive.

"Assam tea has a mellow and sweet taste, and you don't need to add too much sugar to enjoy the sweet and delicious tea. The snacks that go with it are also carefully selected light and salty snacks, which are just right for pairing with Assam tea. If you feel it's not sweet enough, you can add some milk to it to make milk tea, which will taste even better."

Putting down the tea strainer, under Kaguya's exquisite tea-making technique, a stream of brightly colored and fragrant tea was waiting to be opened and enjoyed in the glass teapot. From the time Honghong and Yangno sat down to the time Kaguya finished making the tea, it took a full twenty minutes, which was far beyond the normal time for making tea.

Hayasaka! Why haven't you brought Master Ou back yet? No matter how long I delay making this pot of tea, twenty minutes is the limit!

My plan of "making tea next to Lord Ou's lover so that I can get close to him with a legitimate reason" is going to be ruined!

"Ms. Shinomiya." Yono called out to Kaguya who was in a delusional state.

"Just call me Kaguya, Miss." As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya recovered in an instant.

"Outside of school and at other times, I'm the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, but right now, I'm just a coffee shop clerk, so there's no need to use honorifics or honorifics."

Kaguya's tone was calm and natural, but in just a short time, Yang No could no longer see the cold feeling that once kept people at a distance in Kaguya. It was as if an iceberg had melted and collapsed, but the collapse was too exaggerated and rapid.

Kaguya's upper body was still calm and composed, but her feet were not so calm. Realizing that her plan might have failed, Kaguya's pair of white socks on the clogs were twisting restlessly, and the clogs were rubbing against the wooden floor anxiously, making a creaking sound.

Ouyang is worthy of being a Taoist priest. He has a good connection with peach trees. His luck in love is so good.

As a witness, Yang No naturally knew the reason why Kaguya had changed so much. It was all because of her lover who was obviously made of alloy wood but could always suddenly win the favor of girls. However, there was nothing she could do about it. Although the hero saving the beauty was old-fashioned, it was useful if you couldn't hold him back. Look, a girl had fallen into his trap.

"Kaguya, you don't have to stay with us. If you need anything, we will teach you. The store is so busy, we can't always monopolize the most adorable waiter in the store." Yang No teased Kaguya.

"You're joking." Kaguya said, "If you need anything, please feel free to give me your orders, young lady."

Kaguya still wanted to rescue her plan of "making tea next to Lord Ou's lover so that she can get close to him with a legitimate reason", but in the current situation, it is really not suitable for her to stay. After all, her original intention was to let nature take its course and get close to Lord Ou quietly. If she finds various reasons to stay, wouldn't that tell Lord Ou that there is something wrong with her?

Hayasaka Ai: My dear lady, do you need to explain your idea? Even a deaf person can see it, okay? Even that blockhead surnamed Ou has noticed something is wrong, not to mention the girls around him. Which one of them is stupid? Will they give you the opportunity to steal his house?

Why hasn't Hayasaka brought Master Ou over yet? I specifically saved that piece of chocolate cake that Ms. Akanejiu made for Master Ou. Even if it's been in the refrigerator, it's only two or three hours away from being best enjoyed. No, I have to contact Ms. Akanejiu and have her make a piece of chocolate cake every half hour.

Kaguya quietly hid behind the screen where the materials were piled up and gave new instructions to Hayasaka Ai, asking Akane Kubo Momo to make a chocolate cake every half hour.

"Another vixen who covets the Taoist brother."

Looking at Kaguya hiding quietly, Honghong said sullenly.

"Aren't you a vixen yourself?" Yang Nai laughed, thinking that Honghong was just having a childish temper tantrum.

Chapter 66 Would you like some black tea?

"It's different. Honghong is the fox demon who loves Taoist Brother the most and only loves Taoist Brother. She is a fox spirit." Honghong defended herself, "Like that person just now, she is the mistress who covets Taoist Brother. She is a fox spirit in the literal sense."

Hmm... If we're talking about the third one, it should be 2B, and the fourth one is Kotoko. Even if you want to be Honghong, you can only be the fifth one.

"Yang No, you are thinking about something rude."

"No, I was just thinking that we should finish this black tea quickly. When Ouyang comes and there's nothing left to drink, we can show off to him that we drank delicious black tea."

"No, if we finish drinking now, and the Taoist priest comes later, that woman will find an opportunity to get close to him again." Hong Hong looked as if she had seen through Kaguya's plan. "She just wants to find an opportunity to get close to the Taoist priest, but I won't give her that chance."

"Did you learn this from TV again?"

"Yes, that's what was said in the TV show this morning." Honghong hesitated for a moment, but Yang Noi, an ordinary human, couldn't notice it.

"I thought Honghong had gotten smarter, being able to spot Miss Shigong clearly right away. Turns out she learned it from watching TV."

"Honghong is actually very smart. It's the fool who calls others stupid like that."

After Yang No and Hong Hong had finished half of their tea, a new guest came in through the open door. It was Hayasaka Ai who finally returned with Ouyang Jun and the other two.

"Welcome to the Class A coffee shop in Grade 1. This isn't just any maid cafe, it's a proper coffee shop. Senior Ou, if you see girls in maid outfits, please be careful not to stare at them."

Hayasaka Ai blinked playfully. As soon as she entered the classroom, Hayasaka Ai's external display mode switched again, from maid mode back to hot girl mode. The speed at which her face changed was so fast that even Kotoko was surprised.

"Not interested." Ouyang Xuan was talking about the maid outfit, which he had a lot of opinions about.

The girls in Kaguya's class are all quite cute and pretty. They look even more stunning in formal maid outfits that have both exotic and local characteristics. However, compared to Chizuka Takina, there is still a big gap.

"Haysaka-san, you've worked hard selling things outside." Kaguya, who had been guarding the door, was the first to greet her, and then she heard Ouyang Jun say that he was not interested.

"Shinomiya-san, that was really tough. Not only did you have to be seen by the whole school, but you already had a heavy burden on your chest, and you also had to carry such a heavy display box. It was really tough."

Hayasaka Ai complained as she moved her arms, not much bigger than Kaguya, yet she said it was a heavy burden.

"I'm so sorry to bother Hayasaka-san." Kaguya clasped her hands together and said apologetically, "The chocolate cakes in the store are almost sold out. Could you please go to the students at Totsuki Academy and get some more? Please."

"Hey, but I just got back."

"I'll give Hayasaka-san more time to rest then."

After pushing the happy-looking Hayasaka Ai out of the classroom, Kaguya turned to face Ouyang Falcon and the others, slightly pinched her skirt with her fingers, and performed an elegant skirt-lifting salute.

"Welcome home, Master, Miss." This is the maid etiquette specially trained by Kaguya's maid (Hayasaka Ai).

"Oh." Ouyang Xuan responded indifferently.

Yeah~~ When it was time to vote, I should have won over those wavering people and asked them to cast their votes for the British maid cafe. The cafe that Lord Ou often goes to recently has staff wearing formal maid outfits. If I wear one now, how can it make a difference to Lord Ou?

This cannot be blamed on Kaguya. Before the class vote, Ouyang Sun had only been to Riko Riko once. Who would have thought that he would go there so many times in the past month.

"Miss Tushan and Miss Yukinoshita have been waiting for Master Ou for a long time. Please allow me to take Master Ou in—"

"Brother Taoist!"

Accompanied by screams and the sound of ringing bells, a pink figure rushed past Kaguya and threw herself directly into Ouyang Falcon's arms. She hugged Ouyang Falcon tightly with her arms, buried her face in Ouyang Falcon's neck, and breathed the air around Ouyang Falcon with an intoxicated look on her face.

"Taoist brother, Taoist brother." Honghong shouted and tried to get into Ouyang Xuan's arms like a kitten.

However, after being separated for more than an hour, Ouyang Jun did not expect that Honghong would act as if she had not seen him for several years. Although her actions were more intimate and passionate, when he thought of Honghong's previous actions, Ouyang Jun just thought that Honghong was just acting coquettishly.

"Let me take Ou--" Kaguya still had a smile on her face.

"Ouyang, this way, this way." Without Kaguya leading the way, Yang Noi had already stood up and waved to report the location to Ouyang Falcon.

"What did you do? Why is Honghong suddenly more attached to Ouyang?" Qinzi asked curiously.

"It's nothing, at most I just walked around in the haunted house."

"A haunted house? What's so fun about that?"

For someone like Kotoko, who sees ghosts as often as eating and drinking, going to a haunted house is probably the most boring form of entertainment. She sees quite a few of them every day, and it would be even more boring to go to a small dark room and watch a group of humans pretending to be ghosts.

Holding Ouyang Xuan's arms tightly in her arms, Honghong pressed most of her body on Ouyang Xuan, leaning on his shoulder with her eyes narrowed with happiness on her face.

Hmm? Has Honghong become lighter?

Because this is an action that Honghong often does, Ouyang Jun is very familiar with Honghong's weight. However, today's Honghong is a little different. It is a little lighter than yesterday's Honghong. Although the difference is extremely small, Ouyang Jun still noticed it.

"Brother Taoist, have some tea. This tea is delicious." After absorbing enough of Brother Taoist's energy, Hong Hong temporarily let go of Ouyang Falcon's arm and picked up the cup she had just drunk from. "This tea tastes sweet and delicious. Brother Taoist, come and try it."

Honghong held up the teacup and wanted to put it into Ouyang Xuan's mouth, wanting to give Ouyang Xuan an indirect kiss.

But Ouyang Xuan didn't want to drink Honghong's cup of tea. After hearing Honghong say that the tea was sweet, Ouyang Xuan frowned, which was rare for him.

Although he didn't say it directly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ouyang Xuan was expressing his resistance to this cup of sweet black tea. In Ouyang Xuan's view, tea soup should be slightly astringent with a sweet aftertaste. Adding sugar to tea soup is simply heresy among heresies. Since you have added sugar, why not just add some milk to make it milk tea?

"Lord Ou is from the mainland, and he probably isn't used to the sweet English black tea. Our store can provide you with mainland tea." Kaguya appeared beside the table, holding the tea set from the mainland.

If the first phase plan fails, start implementing the second phase plan immediately.

For today, Kaguya had done her homework. Not only did she investigate Ouyang Xuan's preferences thoroughly, but she also found a tea master from the mainland to cater to Ouyang Xuan's preferences and learn how to brew mainland tea from scratch.

He used black tea to restrain Qinzi and the others, and then when Ouyang Xuan said that he didn't like drinking black tea, he appeared and brewed a pot of good tea for Ouyang Xuan. Isn't this a perfect way to increase his favorability?

"Your future husband must be very happy to be able to brew such wonderful tea, Kaguya."

"Master Ou, you are too kind. I am still single. Husbands and lovers are too far away for me."

[Really? Kaguya, I'm infatuated with you. Please marry me.]

[I am not very talented, so I hope Master Ou will give me more guidance in the future.]

"We have prepared the best Tieguanyin and Pu'er tea here. I wonder which one Lord Ou would like to drink?" Kaguya took out two tea cakes for Ouyang Shun to choose from.

According to the Shinomiya family's investigation, the most popular teas purchased by Ouyang Xuan in supermarkets in Chinatown are Tieguanyin and Pu'er. He also brews tea for himself and serves tea to guests with these two types of tea. It can be seen that Tieguanyin and Pu'er are Ouyang Xuan's preferred teas.

The brewing method for each type of tea is different. After knowing Ouyang Xuan's preference, Kaguya officially conducted special training on these two types of tea.

"No, give me a latte."

"Eh?" Kaguya's smile froze.

"If Lord Ou is worried that the snacks and tea don't go well together, we can also provide him with snacks from his hometown, such as water chestnut cakes, chicken feet, and barbecued pork buns." Kaguya tried to persuade Ouyang Falcon to drink tea.

"I'm not very interested in morning tea. I want a piece of chocolate cake and a latte." Ouyang Jun directly rejected Kaguya's suggestion. After ordering, Ouyang Jun handed the menu to Kotoko and didn't even look at Kaguya.

It’s not that Ouyang Jun is not interested in the tea from his hometown. It’s just that when they were at the door, Hayasaka Ai said that the coffee beans used in their class’s shop were newly cultivated beans. When used to make lattes and other coffee that requires milk, the milky flavor can be more prominent. When you drink it in one sip, it’s like milk beads bursting in your mouth. The overflowing milky aroma can further highlight the original mellow flavor of the coffee. Ouyang Jun wants to try this coffee.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. The technique of brewing black tea is what Kaguya learned in elementary school, and the method of making tea is the result of intensive training for half a month. As for the technique of brewing coffee, Hayasaka Ai commented that it is at least at the level that humans can drink.

"Okay, I'll prepare it for Master Ou."

Although she was a little devastated inside, Kaguya remained calm and composed on the surface, even though the villain in her heart was already crying and throwing a tantrum.

Don't panic, it's still according to the plan. As long as Lady Ou stays here, I can show her my feminine power. A rich lady can actually make tea, snacks and coffee. With such strong feminine power and contrast, even Lady Ou will look at me differently.

With the purpose of showing herself to Ouyang Xuan, Kaguya put all her effort into making a cup of top-notch coffee for Ouyang Xuan.

Taking out the coffee pot imported from Rome, Kaguya put the beans in, placed paper pads, covered the ground coffee powder, dug out a hole, and poured hot water into the pot in a clockwise direction. Immediately, a rich coffee aroma wafted out.

Kaguya's process can be done behind the scenes, so that it can be prepared in front of the customers with a performance element, just like when eating sushi, you can see the chef cutting meat and kneading rice, and when eating teppanyaki, the chef shows off his cooking skills. These are just additional value-added services.

Most people would definitely feel pleased to see a beautiful girl in an elegant and formal maid outfit making coffee for them. Even the bitter coffee would have a sweet taste. The coffee poured from the coffee pot lifted by her white fingers would have a sweet and smooth taste even without sugar and milk.

"It tastes so bad." Ouyang Xuan commented mercilessly.

Kaguya's body trembled slightly, as if an arrow had hit her heart.

"Ouyang, this coffee is quite good and very unique. Stop talking nonsense." Yang No winked at Ouyang Falcon because Kaguya looked like she was about to break.

"This coffee masks most of the bitterness, allowing the flavors of the milk and sugar to stand out even more. Lattes are known for their smoothness, but this one feels like a tank attack. Well, after drinking it, the milky and sweet flavors don't linger in your mouth for long, and the deep, bitter aroma of the coffee takes over."

"Kaguya-chan, although this isn't everyone's cup of coffee, it's really unique. If Ouyang drinks it a few more times, he'll definitely like it."

Holding Kaguya's somewhat shaky shoulders, Yono looked directly into Kaguya's eyes and expressed her praise for her.

"Ms. Yukinoshita~~"

"If Kaguya-chan wants to entertain Ouyang, it's actually very simple. Just give him a glass of grape soda and a piece of chocolate cake."

"Really?" Kaguya's voice seemed to be breaking.

"Well, I think I'd like it."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Lord Ou and Miss Yukinoshita. I'll go get the best chocolate cake for Lord Ou right away!"

With her mood fluctuating so much, Kaguya's brain seemed to have crashed. She was so distraught after Ouyang Falcon said the drink was unpalatable that she couldn't understand the meaning of Haruno's words at all. She was as stupid as a pink woman. Hayasaka Ai, who had returned a long time ago and was hiding in the corner, looked at her eldest daughter in amazement as she was fooled by Haruno.

My eldest lady, don't even think about wanting to be a concubine. Your intelligence has decreased by 1000% after falling in love. You can't even keep the position of the main wife. How can you be so smart and become so stupid after falling in love with someone else?

If you really marry that guy and I go with you, then the work environment will be even worse than it is now.

Perhaps she was infected by Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai actually began to consider how she would help Kaguya after she and Ouyang Shun became a couple in the future.

Chapter 67: All Canines

After Kaguya left, the image of the older sister that Haruno had always maintained collapsed instantly, and her face distorted in an instant.

I don’t know if it was because of the subconscious method of brewing black tea, or if Kaguya used herself as a model, but after taking a sip of the coffee, Yang No didn’t even know if it was coffee. All she could feel was the rich taste of milk and sweetness. Only after she finished drinking it did Yang No realize why it was so sweet.

Because the milk and sugar all float on the surface of the coffee, when the milk and sugar are finished, the bitter taste of coffee will flow into the mouth. Yang Nai was once a candidate who drank iced American coffee as water. The taste of coffee was not a terrible thing to her, but the bitterness that came after the extreme sweetness would be particularly prominent.

"If it tastes bad, don't drink it. It's not good for your health."

Looking at his lover with a bitter expression, Ouyang Jun handed her a glass of water to help Yang Nai wash away the strange taste experience brought by the interweaving of sweetness and bitterness in her mouth.

"I'd rather drink black tea." Qinzi put down the coffee silently.

"Computers can't calculate it. They can't describe the taste." 2B's mouth opened and closed beneath the eyepatch, but she couldn't utter a single comment.

"Her tea is so delicious, but why is her coffee so terrible?" Kotoko didn't see any monster possessing Kaguya that would make coffee taste bad. "There are indeed some people in this world who have certain physical conditions that make certain dishes taste terrible. I didn't expect we'd actually encounter one."

"How can there be so many weird things?" Honghong expressed her opinion. "I think that woman is just obsessed with the Taoist brother. She's so focused on looking at the Taoist brother that she's completely oblivious to what she's doing with her hands. Humph, I know what that kind of woman is thinking just by looking at her."

"Yo yo yo." Yang Nai joked, "Our little Honghong hasn't even become Ouyang's lover yet, and she's already starting to get jealous. It's a bit early now. With Ouyang's charm, there will be a lot of jealousy for her in the future."
