Yes, Lady Funina!

Chapter 210: Let the Shadow Feel a Little Involved

Maid-themed restaurants, does that mean guests can role-play as maids in the restaurant?

Although Funina may seem a bit naive at work, she's not stupid. What restaurant would let a customer dress up as a maid?

How presumptuous!

"Crolinder, did you secretly receive favors from Yae no Miko and the others?" Funina looked at Crolinder suspiciously, now seriously suspecting that her secretary had betrayed her.

“I didn’t.” Clarind said, feeling wronged and not understanding why Funina would say that to her.

Honestly, she has always been on Funina's side... at least this time she really didn't intend to betray her.

"So what's going on now?" Funina asked, pointing to her outfit.

“I wore it too.” Clarind tried to clear herself of suspicion in this way.

"So they gave you an offer you couldn't refuse?" Funina sneered.

Clorinde: ...

After Clarind's sweating explanation, Furnessa finally believed that the other party had indeed not colluded with the enemy.

That's exactly what's planned for tonight; everyone will be changing into maid outfits.

Wait! Everyone...

"Richard also wears maid outfits?" Furnessa looked at Claurind with shining eyes.

When Clarinde heard Frynn ask such a question, she was also a little dumbfounded.

Would Richard wear a maid outfit?

Probably... no?

Just as Clarinde was about to say something, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Funina thought it was Richard, and instinctively picked up her clothes, trying to hide.

But looking around, the only place to hide in this private room is probably under the table.

Although she may not live up to her title, she is now considered a prime minister of a country. Is it appropriate for her to hide under the table?

So Frynn dodged behind Clorinde, letting her take the lead in fighting the enemy.

Claude felt a push from behind and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. The footsteps coming from outside the door were clearly those of someone wearing high heels. Could it be Richard wearing high heels?

The door opened, and Yae no Miko, seeing that Clorind had already changed her clothes, asked with some surprise, "Clorind, are you alone?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yae no Miko noticed a long white ahoge (cowlick) growing from the other person's right shoulder.

"Ahem, I'm here too." After seeing that the person who came was not Richard, Furina breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out from behind Clorinde.

"Oh my, it suits you very well, Lady Funina." Yae no Miko said with a smile when she saw Funina, who had changed into a maid outfit.

"Well, it's alright." After being praised by Yae no Miko, Funina completely forgot about questioning why the maid cafe required customers to wear maid outfits.

She also returned the compliment by praising Yae no Miko, saying, "Yours is beautiful too."

This wasn't just mutual flattery from Funina; she genuinely thought Yae no Miko looked beautiful in her maid outfit, which had a mature and alluring vibe.

Actually, Funina also wanted to try this style, but...

This is a story of heartbreak.

"By the way, when I came in just now, I think I heard you talking about something, about who you were going to dress up in a maid outfit?" Yae no Miko asked.

Clarind did not reply, but looked at Frynn with expectant eyes.

Furina thought Claurind was far too cowardly. She was so afraid even when Richard wasn't around. She had never seen her so cautious before.

As if hearing Frynn's thoughts, Clarinde silently shifted her gaze to the side. The past is the past, and the present is the present.

In the past, no matter how terrible Richard was, all that could be done was to give her more work. But now it's different. If you still speak ill of him now, even if you apply lubricant, you'll still get your skin rubbed raw.

“Richard, since it’s a maid-themed restaurant, there’s no reason for us to wear maid outfits, right? What do you think, Lady Yae?” Funina voiced her idea, and as expected, she received Yae’s agreement.

"Lady Funina is indeed very resourceful. I think this idea is excellent." Yae no Miko's eyes lit up. She hadn't really thought of this before. To have Richard wear a maid outfit...tsk tsk, just thinking about it is quite interesting.

This water god is indeed very knowledgeable; he seems much better than my own clueless blockhead.

Meanwhile, in another room, Ying, who was leisurely changing her clothes, seemed to sense something. She didn't say anything, but silently added another mark against the scumbag fox in her mind.

It's like an ordinary person talking about a deity behind their back; the deity might not hear it. But as a member of the deity's retinue, aren't you underestimating the connection between the deity and their retinue?

"No need to call me 'sir,' just call me Funina," Funina said, waving her hand. In front of the other person, she didn't really seem to be considered 'sir,' oh, she meant age.

“Then you can just call me Divine Child, Furness. Speaking of which, getting Richard to obediently wear a maid outfit is no easy task…” Divine Child Yae looked at the silent Klorinde and asked, “Do you have any good ideas, Klorinde?”

Letting Clarin go is definitely out of the question. Everyone is plotting how to "trick" Richard. You want to quietly stay out of it? Are you trying to be a double agent?

And most importantly, Yae no Miko knew very well that Richard was notoriously petty, and if he found out later that it was she and Funina who came up with the bad idea...

In the end, he'll definitely be the one who suffers. After all, Fulina hasn't been taken by Richard yet. Men, once they've got something, they won't cherish it as much as before. They'll use it until it's broken, then use it to the point of ruin.

Yae no Miko wasn't exactly a fan of Ace; that feeling of being on the verge of breaking down was enough for her once or twice, but she couldn't handle it if it kept happening.

Since Funina can't help share the firepower, we definitely need to bring in someone who can... don't you think so, Clarind?

Regardless of whether Clorind's idea will be useful, the fact that she brought it up is enough.

There's even a specific term for this "Fanghui River" practice: "presenting a pledge of allegiance."

“I…I don’t have any good ideas.” Clarind saw right through Yae no Miko’s thoughts.

You can play with fire if you want, but you can't drag me into it!

However, Yae no Miko had no intention of letting Clarind go. The fox spirit's smile remained unchanged as she continued, "How could that be? You know, before you..."

“I’ve got it! How about rock-paper-scissors? Or some other drinking game where the loser has to agree to one condition from the winner.” Clarin quickly interrupted Yae no Miko, while glancing awkwardly at Funina out of the corner of her eye.

You can't say that!

Yae no Miko keenly noticed this. Huh? There's an unexpected bonus?!

Although Yae no Miko didn't understand why Clarinde was so nervous, she felt that Clarinde was even more nervous than when she had unexpectedly joined the party before.

It's like I did something shameful... well, it does seem a bit shameful.

But no matter what, as long as Clorinde still cares about this matter, she, the Eightfold Divine Child, can keep the other party completely under her thumb.

Hmph, that'll teach you a lesson for helping Richard catch me by the tail last time we were in bed.

There are only five tails in total. Richard has one in each hand, and you have one in each hand. It's almost not enough to go around.

In all my life, apart from Richard and Shadow, no one else has ever touched her tail in human form!

"Isn't this a great idea?" Furnessa looked at Claurind in surprise, feeling that the latter did indeed have a talent for setting up Richard.

Don't let Clarinde's usual submissive demeanor in front of Richard fool you; when it comes to scheming against someone, she doesn't hold back at all.

"Is...is that so? Ha, ha..."

Hearing Furna's praise, Clarinde could hardly smile. If Richard knew, she'd probably be forced to drink a lot of alcohol again.

"Then leave the task of getting Richard to accept the drinking games to me. After all, everyone is so eager to offer their ideas, I can't just do nothing, can I?" Yae no Miko said with a smile.

She had it all planned out. She would use the photos she had secretly taken while Ying was changing clothes, along with some everyday photos, as an exchange to lure the other party into the scheme.

This is a classic case of luring someone into a trap.

It also allows the shadow to feel a bit involved.

As expected of me!

"So maid-themed restaurants are for customers to dress up as maids?" Fukaros exclaimed, echoing the sentiment of Funina. Although the outfit Yae no Miko had prepared for her was similar in style to Funina's, the color scheme had been reversed.

In short, she was wearing black stockings.

Hmm, if we put the two of them together, that should satisfy both the black and white parties, right?

Don't worry if you're into bare legs, just tear it off and you'll have bare legs again, right?

Three wishes can be fulfilled at once, while an LSP can be fulfilled three times.

"Speaking of which, Lynette, you seem quite familiar with maid outfits. Have you worn one at home before?"

Lynette pursed her lips. When did Fukalos release the armor-piercing outfit?

Seeing that Lynette didn't answer, Fukaros didn't seem to care. Instead, she said with a sigh, "But then again, this outfit really suits you... Can I touch your ears? Please, I'll do anything."

It's obvious that Fukalos not only looks like Funina, but they even have similar tastes, both being cat lovers.

I simply can't resist catgirls and maids!

Fukaros rubbed Lynette's cat ears with a satisfied expression, while Lynette looked at her boss with some helplessness.

What to say?

Although Fukaros may behave differently from Funina in everyday life, they are essentially the same. They are both so innocent and kind that even as rivals in love, they are not worthy of being disliked.

"Are you done massaging? If you are, Lady Fukaros, please put this on as well." Linette pulled out a cat-ear headdress from somewhere.

At this point, some people might ask, why does Lynette, who already has cat ears, also wear a cat ear headband?

Actually, it was a free gift when she bought the catgirl maid outfit at the (404notfound) store, and it also came with a cat tail.

However, considering that the way the cat tail ornament is worn might be a little strange, we won't take it out for Fukalos for now.

"Huh, there are actually requirements?" Fukalos was shocked.

Lynette gently patted away Fucarus's hand that was still resting on her ear, and then personally helped Fucarus put on the cat ears.

"Of course, we refuse to take advantage of others."

"What if Richard wants to touch it?"

"His request has already been paid."

After hearing Lynette's words, Fukaros blinked her beautiful eyes.

"It sounds like there's a story behind it, but I'm fine..."

"Don't be curious," Lynette interrupted Fukalos's spellcasting.

"Eh……"

"It's no use."

"Well……"

“I told you it’s no use,” Lynette said helplessly. “Besides, it’s nothing worth remembering, and the story is very cliché.”

“It’s alright, I can be an ordinary person. Please, I’ll do anything.” Fukaros said, clasping her hands together.

"I'll tell you when the time is right," Lynette said, indicating that it was clearly inappropriate to bring it up now.

“Then it’s settled!” Fukaros’s ahoge (cowlick) stood up high, making him look very energetic.

"It's a deal, but you also have to promise me one thing."

"Eh……"

The ahoge (cowlick) that had stood up so high immediately wilted.

When Fukaros and Lynette came out of the small private room after changing their clothes, they found that everyone had already arrived.

Of everyone, Richard seemed to be the only one dressed out of place.

After all, everyone else was wearing all sorts of maid outfits, while he was the only one wearing a proper suit, looking like a working person who had just finished get off work.

This doesn't need to be Wanru; he really just got off work.

Now Richard somewhat understands the feelings of those who want the city hall to open a maid cafe.

"So that's what a maid cafe means?" Richard asked Yae Miko.

"Do you like it?" Yae no Miko asked with a smile.

"I like it." Richard always tells the truth.

"Which one do you like the most?" Yae no Miko followed up with a deadly move.

"Of course it's you."

"Um?!"
