Blind date 9: Takebayashi Kotaro

You yawned in front of the restaurant,waiting for your unlucky parner for the blind date.

“Blind date is so bothersome.”

You turned around and saw the otaku in your class,Takebayashi.

“Oh,Takebayashi.”-you called out.-“I see you agreed to join the blind date too.”

“It sound fun,and the chance to date with my crush is higher if I agreed to join.”-he said which break your heart a little.

“I see.”-you replied.-“You have a crush in our class.”

“Yes.”-he said.-“Now where should we go?”

“Well,I have a place I wanna go.”-you answered.-“If you don’t mind.”

“I won’t mind if it’s…

“Never mind.”-he said.-“So which place is it?”

“Akihabara.”-you answered.

“Oh,I didn’t know you wanna go there.”-he replied.-“Is it because I’m an otaku,so you choose that place?”

“No,I need to buy something.”-you replied.

“Oh,I see.”-he said.-“I thought you wanted to mock me for being an otaku.”

“What’s wrong with being an otaku?”-you replied.-“It’s fine as long as you didn’t disturb others.”

“I think you’re right.”-he said and you noticed a little curve on his lips.

[Is he smiling?And I wonder about his crush.]

“Thank you miss.Have a good day.”-the cashier said as she put the game you purchase in a plastic bag before handing it over to you.

“Thank you too.”-you replied and approached Takebayashi who waiting infront of shop.

“I didn’t know you like to play games.”-he said.-“Like Kanzaki.”

“Yeah,I love games.”-you replied.

“He mentioned Kanzaki.Does that mean he like Kanzaki.-“you tought.-“But he got to date me instead.”

“What’s on your mind.”-you said.

“Kanzaki is beautiful,isn’t it?”-you asked.

“Yes,she is.”-he said.

[And you like her.]

“But my crush is more beautiful.”-he continued,shocking you with the unexpected replied from him.

“Oh,I see.”-you said.

“Let’s go.”-he said.-“I know a nice place for a date.”

“Oh,okay.”-you replied.

“Takebayashi,why do I have to wear this?”-you said,covering yourself with an oversized jacket.

“Isn’t it nice.”-he said.-“You will be cute wearing that uniform.”

You uncover your maid uniform infront of him and noticed him smiling.

“How did you convinced them anyway.”-you asked as you stand beside him.

“I’m the loyal customer.”-he said.

“So,what can I help you today,master?”-you bowed.

[Thank god I played maid character before.]

“Let me see.”-he said.-“Fetch our meal at the counter.”

“Eh?”

“I told them before that my personal maid will take my meal,so they don’t have to deliver it here.”-he said.-“Here,take this to the counter.”

You bowed and took the seat number to the counter and showed it the real maid of the café.

“Oh,I thought you’re the worker here.”-she said.-“But you’re Take-chan’s personal maid.”

She handed over a meal for two to you and you slowly walk back to your table.

“Hey,maid-chan.”-a customer stopped you.

“What about you entertained us after you deliver that meal.”-he said.

“I can’t.”-you replied.

“She can’t!”

You saw Takebayashi standing in front of you with a serious face.

“Eh,And why is that otamegane?”-they said.

“Because she’s my personal maid.-“Takebayashi replied before grabbing your waist and signalled you to walk with him.

[Personal maid?]

You putted the meal on the table and stand beside him as you know that’s what a maid should do.

“You can enjoy the meal with me.”-he said and smile.

“But,I’m your maid.”-you replied.

“It’s okay.You’re a special maid.”-he said.-“So you can enjoy a meal together with your master.”

You nodded your head and sit in front of him.You noticed there’s something written above your omellete rice.

WOULD YOU BE MY PERSONAL MAID FOREVER?

You looked up at him and saw his smile.

“I like you (y/n).When we graduate high school later,I’ll be a scientist and by that time,would you be my special personal maid forever?”-he asked.

You nodded your head with tears rolling down your cheek.

[I was jealous with myself.]

“Why are you crying?”-he asked.

“Well,when you say you have a crush…I was jealous of the girl.”-you answered.-“But I never thought that I’ll be jealous with myself.”

“Does that mean you like me too?”-he asked.

“Yes,I like you too,Koutarou-kun.”-you said.

He stands up and approached you before pulling you into a hug.

“I know that.”-he said.-“It’s just that I’m not sure about it.”

“My answer is yes.”-you replied.

“Thank you for accepting a lame otaku like me.”-he said.

“You’re not lame.You’re special.”-you said.

He kissed your cheek and smile.

“I see.So both of you are couple now.Why don’t you kiss her.”

You looked at the door and saw Terasaka.

“Oh,Terasaka.”-you said.-“I didn’t know you like to visit maid café too.”

You noticed his red face as you tried to control your laugh.

“I suggested it to him and he eventually like it.”-Takebayashi said,adjusting his glasses like usual.

“Shut up,Takebayashi!”-Terasaka said and left.

“Everyone have their own secret.”-Takebayashi said and smile.

“Yes.They did.”-you replied.
