Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

The reason for the name is quite simple. As a maid... cough, mainly for social practice, Ragnar, a name derived from a legendary pirate, would give people a rather fierce impression.

Then... he chose Asura, the wife of the legendary pirate and daughter of Sigurd, the dragon slayer in mythology, as his stage name.

Since they were all names from Northern Europe, Ragnar didn't feel uncomfortable.

...Being called by that name by Rita gives her a very strange feeling.

The teacher is a maid, and the students are maids too...

She should keep her job as a maid a secret.

"Hey, Rita, why don't you get a stage name too?"

"Is my name fierce?"

"Yeah, Rita-chan's name is so cute."

The stormtroopers, pretending to be ordinary guests, were making a fuss.

"Keep pretending!"

Ragnar reprimanded his team members.

But then Ragnar sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"But it's a bit strange that all the customers at a maid café are women, isn't it?"

"Let's just pretend the seniors are older, homebodies, it doesn't really make a difference anyway," Rita reassured Ragnar with a kind smile.

—Anyway, they are all single women who can't find men.

"...Rita-chan, did you just say something heartbreaking while smiling?"

Don't underestimate the sensitivity of single women! You bastard!

Rita still wore a gentle smile.

"Waaaah... Give us back that cute, shy little angel from back then!"

Several team members were pounding their chests and stamping their feet, and Ragnar rolled his eyes at the sight of these scoundrels.

Well, Ragnar was also puzzled as to how Rita had become so distorted.

Could it be that Rita sees me as a seductive woman?

Seduction my foot! I've never seduced a woman, let alone a man!

Um... okay, if we're talking about being shameless, Rita is one of them.

But she's not a lolicon... and she doesn't have any hobbies about raising or nurturing young girls...

Right now, picking up a cute little boy might make her quite happy.

"...Rita, do I have any improper lifestyle habits?"

Ragnar's expression suddenly became very serious.

Even though Bianca-chan, who was also trained by me, is very proper.

"Huh? No, I've always looked up to you as a role model." Rita was taken aback by these words. "Sorry, did I say something too harsh?"

Although it is a statement of facts, reality is often the heaviest.

Ringing~~

Suddenly, the welcome bell behind the door rang, and all the guests instantly resumed their chatting. Ragnar also stopped talking and began to sweep the floor.

"Welcome to the maid café, Mr. Liu Bai."

Rita, dressed in a dark rose-patterned dress, slowly walked out of the front desk carrying a menu.

"There are still empty seats here, please follow me."

"...That's amazing."

【? ? : Constitution 3 Strength 4 Agility 3】

……

"By the way, why are you wearing glasses?"

“Equipment to enhance the effectiveness of negotiations.” Bai gently pushed up his glasses.

Your guests are quite sophisticated!

Anyone you pick out has this kind of quality. That sweeping maid over there has 7 Constitution, 6 Strength, and 4 Agility, which is about the same as yours!

Why did this happen? Everyone here has pretty high stats.

Is Rita planning some kind of trap?

However, judging from the fact that the favorability rating hasn't dropped... Is this person planning to force me to my knees?

“She does look a bit more intellectual now,” Rita chuckled.

"..."

Liu Bai silently took off his glasses. At this moment... shouldn't he reduce Rita's interest in him?

"...Please have a seat. Would you and this young lady like something?"

Rita paused for a moment as she looked at Liu Bai who had taken off his glasses. At the same time, after entering the room, Rita glanced at Yu Yuchiyo, who was following behind Liu Bai, for the first time.

At a glance, Rita could sense the aura of a powerful figure emanating from Miyuki Chiyo.

An unfamiliar, powerful figure...

Hmm... Is it from Inazuma's side?

Chapter 124 The Feast at Hongmen

Rita's mind raced with various speculations.

It doesn't matter who it is, as long as he doesn't bring General Thunder.

General Thunder is far too sensitive.

"Is this what you meant by having all-day availability, Rita? Working part-time?"

“It’s just social practice,” Rita smiled.

But those who know, know.

Ragnar, who was behind, was in an even more awkward position.

Well... after all, Ragnar was somewhat aware of how awful her actions were, having come here as a maid for social practice.

The imposing head coach of Destiny can't possibly be a cute and cuddly maid.

—As a semi-homebody, Ragnar feels like she's practically overflowing with light novel vibes.

However, compared to Ragnar's "self-reflection," the other assault team members were much more direct—they were all staring at Liu Bai.

Holy crap, isn't this guy a top-tier handsome guy?!

Rita, you're something else! No wonder you're ignoring your seniors now! You've got a boyfriend after all!

"What our younger generation said is absolutely right."

One of the team members calmly put down his chopsticks, took out a brand new pair of disposable chopsticks, gently placed them on the table, and then turned the chopsticks so that the tips were pointing towards Liu Bai.

"...Do you think this is a social gathering?" The teammate on the other side looked at his teammate speechlessly.

This isn't a social gathering, what's the point of pointing at people with chopsticks?

"Then take away the chopsticks in front of you first."

"...That's precisely why nobody's going to indulge you, since this isn't a social gathering."

His companion touched the chopsticks in front of him with a tense expression, as if to show his firm stance.

Just because you point to it doesn't mean it's yours! Why don't you just fly to the moon?!

"Hahaha~~"

"Hahaha~~"

Several tables erupted in such "harmonious" and "joyful" laughter.

Everyone at the table had a pair of chopsticks pointing at Liu Bai.

In the unwritten rules of the assault team's social gatherings, the chopsticks pointed to one's own social target, and no one else could interfere.

—Although no one organized any social events for them, well, in another sense, the underachievers had a lot of stationery.

"...Lord Liu Bai."

At this moment, Mikoto Chiyo's pretty face was frosty, and she reached her hand under her casual clothes. It was only after taking the wakizashi out of the suitcase that Mikoto Chiyo realized that she was not wearing her usual thick twelve-layered kimono, but a thin casual outfit.

The feeling of stuffing a knife into casual clothes... Chiyo found it rather strange, but as a martial artist, she could accept this awkwardness.

Of course, these are not the things we are going to discuss now.

The problem now is... it feels like everyone in the entire maid cafe is watching her and Liu Bai.

Was it a trap?

Moreover, they all had eyes that seemed to prey on people.

What exactly did Lord Liu Bai do to be so hateful? Even the Fox Abode Palace didn't do something like this.

Well... anyway, since things have come to this...

Based on this distance from the gate... if I risk my life, I should be able to get Lord Liu Bai out.

but……

Mikoto Chiyo glanced at Rita's hands... those slender hands, which made one wonder if they belonged to a maid, were now clenched so tightly that veins were showing, the small menu bearing a pain that it shouldn't have to endure at its age.

Is the other side also preparing to retaliate? Or have they even begun to lose their temper?

Mikoto Chiyo didn't think anyone would normally show such an unbearable attitude.

—But Rita's mother was furious!

Can't you bunch of bastard seniors at least have some backbone?! Don't act like that shark that smelled blood!

"Rita, um... I suddenly remembered something urgent."

Liu Bai noticed something a little strange... For example, was no one watching his Dust Song Pot?

Why should one take action against oneself without removing one's own dusty song pot?

—As expected, Rita, you're going to beat me to my knees and drag me back to the Heavenly Destiny Star!

—No, they might be planning to turn me into a star right here!

Save me, Yellow Springs!

“Mr. Liu Bai~” Rita gently stopped Liu Bai from reaching for the pot and getting up—of course, Rita didn’t actually reach out to stop him, but Liu Bai could hear a hint of dissuasion in her tone.

Ah, his face was showing a smile on one hand and veins bulging on the other.

What a terrifying woman.

"...Have I not given you your medicine these past two days?"

Liu Bai still picked up the teapot, while trying to reason with Rita.

This atmosphere put Liu Bai under a lot of pressure.

You didn't drink the love potion, so why are you attacking me?

"…Give me medicine?"

Ragnar was stunned, as were the other members of the stormtroopers.

I haven't fed you these past two days = I fed you two days ago.

Give her medicine? What kind of medicine? Rita wasn't seriously injured!

"..."

For a moment, all eyes in the coffee shop that had been focused on Liu Bai dispersed.
