"Welco! Master! My ladies!"
Bowing slightly to Shido and the others, Yutsuki showed a bright welcoming smile on her face.
"You..."
An unexpected person appearing before her made Mukuro frown deeply.
Although she had no interest in anyone other than Shido, this woman who claid to be Shido's family had still left a certain impression on Mukuro.
"If Muku rembers correctly, your na is Yutsuki. Why are you here?"
"Hm? Have we t sowhere? My lady."
Hearing Mukuro's words, Yutsuki tilted her head in confusion. Looking at Origami and Tohka, she asked,
"Are these two friends of yours, Tohka and Origami?"
"Eh? Ah, yes! That is right, Yutsuki, these two are my friends!"
Suddenly spoken to by Yutsuki, Origami froze for a second, then reacted and nodded.
"Hmph, what are you blabbering about! Get inside quickly!"
Tohka completely ignored Yutsuki and urged impatiently.
(Has this person not recovered her mory?)
Mukuro thought in confusion. Indeed, this person was different from the other two annoying won. The lock applied by Michael showed no abnormalities, and from her words and actions, she did not seem to know her or Shido. She probably had not recovered her mory.
(No, I cannot let my guard down yet.)
Mukuro remained secretly vigilant. This was the shop chosen by the white-haired woman nad Origami ,so running into Ryougi Yutsuki here was hard to imagine as pure coincidence. It was possible the two had colluded beforehand to put on an act for her.
And—
"Nushi-sama!"
"Ah, ah! S-Sorry!"
Called by Mukuro, Shido finally snapped out of it, awkwardly moving his gaze away from Yutsuki.
"Ugh—!"
Seeing Shido's reaction, Mukuro puffed her cheeks unhappily, her hostility towards Yutsuki growing thicker.
"Okay, okay~ A party of four, this way please~"
Not caring at all about their reactions, Yutsuki nodded with a smile, turned, and led the four to a corner table in the cafe.
"What would Master and the ladies like to order?"
After serving ice water for everyone, Yutsuki took out the nu and handed it to Mukuro. Because her movents were so practiced, if they had not known beforehand, Origami and Shido might have actually thought she was a maid working there.
"What is your goal? Are you trying to trick and steal Nushi-sama from Muku?"
Having no intention of playing along with Yutsuki, Mukuro got straight to the point and asked.
"Hm? What are you talking about, my lady?"
Yutsuki looked at Mukuro in confusion. She tilted her head and thought for a mont. Seeming to realize sothing, she stepped forward and closely observed Mukuro.
"You! Is this your sche?"
Seeing Yutsuki suddenly bring her face close, Mukuro got a little flustered. She secretly got ready to summon Michael to guard against a sneak attack from Yutsuki.
"Height around a middle schooler, very large chest, beautiful long blonde hair... Oh! I rember now! You are the boy from this morning."
After looking Mukuro up and down, Yutsuki muttered to herself, then clapped her hands, pointed at Shido, and said in realization.
(This person really does have mories of Nushi-sama!)
Biting her lip tightly, Mukuro's guard against Yutsuki instantly rose to the sa level as Yatogami Tohka.
"Are you the lost girlfriend the boy was looking for?"
However, Yutsuki's next sentence confused Mukuro again.
"Ufu? What do you an by that?"
"Mhm. When I ca here to work this morning, the boy next to you... ahem, Master ca to our shop once looking for a girl nad 'Mukuro'. It seems you got separated while sightseeing in the city. I heard from the manager that this Master went all over Tengu City asking about you. That person is you, right?"
Hearing Yutsuki's words, Mukuro looked at Shido in surprise.
"Nushi-sama, is this true?"
"Mhm... yeah. I was very panicked at first. I wanted to see you but I did not have your contact information, so I had to look everywhere for you like that."
After hesitating for a mont, Shido nodded with a bitter smile.
"Nushi-sama..."
Mukuro was speechless. She felt a warmth in her heart, but also could not help feeling a little guilty.
"Muku is very sorry. Muku had important business at the ti and was not by Nushi-sama's side."
"Mhm, it is fine. I understand."
Watching the interaction between Shido and Mukuro, Yutsuki gave a gentle smile and said.
"I see. You two really are a close couple."
—Couple.
This word sounded so beautiful to Mukuro's ears. Instantly, the hostility in Mukuro's heart vanished, and she looked at Yutsuki with much gentler eyes.
"That is natural. Muku and Nushi-sama already have a promise of marriage. In the future, Muku is destined to serve Nushi-sama for life as his wife."
"Oh my—! How sweet!"
Hearing Mukuro's words, Yutsuki seed touched by the sweetness, covering her mouth and sighing softly.
"What have you guys been whispering about since earlier?"
Just then, Tohka seed to lose her patience, looking at Yutsuki with an irritated face.
"Also, what does 'couple' an? Is this woman plotting sothing?"
"Ah, you misunderstood, Tohka."
After giving Tohka an apologetic smile, Yutsuki explained unhurriedly,
"'Couple' is simply a term for two people who plan to be together forever. There is no special hidden aning."
"Hoh, then whatever. My only goal is to make this man's heart surrender. I have no intention of staying with him for life."
Hearing Yutsuki's explanation, Tohka snorted disdainfully, clearly having no interest in it.
(What a wicked and heartless woman. Muku will definitely not let you have your way.)
Hearing Tohka's words, Mukuro felt a surge of anger in her heart. She secretly resolved to protect Shido and not let him fall into the clutches of this wicked woman.
(As expected of Yutsuki. Not only did she not anger Tohka, but she easily dissolved all of Mukuro's suspicion and hostility.)
Watching the whole conversation from the side, Origami felt both admiration and a little fear towards Yutsuki's way with words and acting skills.
"By the way, it is not good for to just stand here. Could everyone order now?"
Seeing Mukuro and Tohka glaring at each other, entering a staring contest, Yutsuki asked Shido.
"Ah... g-got it."
After staring blankly at Yutsuki's maid outfit for a second, Shido finally snapped out of it and picked up the nu.
"...Please give your shop's recomndation."
Looking at the exaggerated and nonsensical nas of the dishes on the nu, Shido could only give this fake answer and leave the choice to Yutsuki.
"Okay, Master, please wait a mont."
After bowing politely, she turned and walked toward the kitchen.
Master. Hearing Yutsuki call him in such a sweet tone, Shido could not help but feel his heart skip a beat.
"Hey! Woman, we are at the place you ntioned! Hurry up and tell the way to make this man's heart surrender."
"Speak quickly, do not delay. Muku will definitely make this wicked person understand who Nushi-sama's heart belongs to."
"Eh? Wait for —"
(This is my chance!)
Seeing Tohka and Mukuro take their attention off him, Shido made a decision in his heart.
Take a picture of Yutsuki's maid outfit!
Although logically, Shido knew perfectly well that doing sothing like this while trying to conquer Mukuro was very dangerous! But as a man, Shido absolutely could not convince himself to give up recording this once in a lifeti mont!
(Calm down, be calm! I cannot let Mukuro and the others notice... I have about five seconds. You can definitely do it, Itsuka Shido!All the training from my birth till now is just for this mont.)
Reaching his right hand into his pocket, Shido did not rush to take out his phone. He used his fingers to swipe the screen by touch, opening the cara and setting it to silent.
(Now!)
Aiming for the mont Yutsuki returned from the kitchen, Shido used his body to block Tohka and Mukuro's line of sight to the phone and pressed the shutter button.
However—
[I am very sorry, Master's phone cara function is temporarily unavailable. —By Ryougi Yutsuki.]
This notification popped up on his phone screen.
Damn it, this maid is flawless! (〃＞皿＜)
