March 27th, Sunday.

After a week of adapting, except for two embarrassing moments in the first day or two when Natsume Naoki was not used to always leaving the bathroom door unlocked, he had slowly accepted the fact that there was an extra girl in the empty room.

But it’s strange. Logically speaking, this situation should be caused by girls being shy. Aren’t those girls who entered the wrong public restroom screaming and covering their eyes and running away?

But every time, Asai Mao immediately closed the door and left with a calm face, while Natsume Naoki hurriedly caught herself with the zipper.

During the five days since Asai Mao came, Natsume Naoki completely changed her look. Not only did she change her hairstyle, but she also got rid of her bad habit of staying up late under the strict supervision of Asai Mao.

There is no coder who doesn't stay up late, but Asai Mao is like a humanoid plug-in that can optimize Natsume Naoki's hundreds of lines of code into dozens of lines, which greatly shortens the time.

Unfortunately, even though he stopped staying up late and ate regularly, his body was still very weak.

Natsume Naoki, who has been sick since childhood, is also used to it. The bitter smell of medicinal herbs in the room is the smell he is most familiar with.

"Are you sure you want to go out wearing this?"

Natsume Naoki stood in the bathroom and looked at Asai Mao standing behind him in the mirror and asked.

She was still wearing the standard maid outfit.

"This is my business attire," Asai Mao replied calmly: "Going out with you to buy clothes is also part of my job, so of course I have to wear work clothes."

Naoki Natsume's clothes at home have been put through Asai Mao's eyes, and she concluded that she must buy new ones.

Originally, she planned to make several outfits for Natsume Naoki, but after Natsume Naoki put on a suit of plaid shirts from the wardrobe, Asai Mao closed the book and asked him melancholy:

What new breed of science idiot are you?

Natsume Naoki protested and said that everyone in the engineering department was wearing this and carrying a backpack, so they looked like college students.

Asai Mao complained that "men in science and engineering look handsome wearing plaid shirts and carrying backpacks". This is the biggest lie in science and engineering, and it is a measurement commonly used by seniors to deceive their juniors.

No matter how handsome you are, you can't match the perfect combination of a plaid shirt and a backpack. It's even more hopeless if you're short-sighted and wear full-frame black glasses.

Natsume Naoki suddenly realized that everyone in the Engineering Department had been deceived by their seniors.

"Let's change it," Natsume Naoki looked at Asai Mao who had already grasped the door handle and asked, "Have you ever seen anyone wearing a maid outfit when going out? She will be mistaken for an employee of a maid cafe."

Asai Mao thought seriously for a moment, and then answered firmly: "Thor will go out like this."

"So I am Xiaolin, right?" Natsume Naoki was speechless: "You are actually proficient in the ACG field. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Asai Mao opened the door, squinted her eyes against the dazzling morning sun outside, and whispered to herself: "That's about right. After all, Xiaolin also saved Thor's life."

"What did you say?" Natsume Naoki asked.

The sound of the door opening and Asai Mao's voice was so low that he couldn't hear what she said clearly.

"It's nothing, I'm talking to myself." Asai Mao stepped aside and bent slightly: "You go first, Natsume-kun."

Most of the areas near Waseda University are school districts and commercial streets. Although Tokyo does not have the division of "Waseda Ward", with the school headquarters in Shinjuku as the center, the surrounding area can be called "Waseda" among local people.

The main consumer group here is students, so apart from the housing prices, it is very affordable.

Natsume Naoki doesn't like to go out, so she has only been to the nearby commercial street a few times. Shopping with Asai Mao feels like a novelty of a young couple going on a trip... Of course, this is in the eyes of outsiders.

He has no plans to consider Asai Mao as a love partner yet.

In a Tokyo full of scumbags, Naoki Natsume is like a breath of fresh air.

He is handsome, but he keeps himself clean.

No matter what kind of girl you are, you can always find something you like in Natsume Naoki.

But it is a pity that he spent most of his time studying, and his frailty and bad luck also made him a little lonely.

Coupled with the fact that he didn't take good care of his appearance, his pearls were eventually covered in dust. Girls didn't even have the chance to look at his face under his long hair.

Otherwise, maybe he is another "fraternity" high school student whose family owns a dessert shop.

Or maybe he can essentially be a Tokyo scumbag, but he was not good at dressing up before and lacked an opportunity to transform.

And now I took this opportunity to put on a maid uniform and knock on his door very politely.

After getting a haircut, more girls looked back at Natsume Naoki along the way than he had seen in the past year combined.

"Buying clothes with you went pretty smoothly." Natsume Naoki looked at Asai Mao who was carrying a lot of big and small bags and said, "It's very painful for me to watch short videos and go shopping with girls. It takes a long time to walk and I have to carry bags."

"What is said on the Internet is correct." Asai Mao did not deny: "That's because their female companion is a girlfriend and not a professional maid. A maid cannot let the owner carry a bag when going out. It is against the rules."

"What are the rules of a maid..." Naoki Natsume looked up at the sun and sighed, "Let's start with friends first. I really can't treat a living person as an inferior servant. To be honest, the word maid

That would have been far away from me a week ago."

Asai Mao glanced at him and said calmly: "No matter what you say, the money will not be refunded."

Natsume Naoki smiled slightly when he heard this: "It doesn't matter, I won't let you reduce your work, I'm just talking about the relationship between us. Can't the master and the maid be friends? In "Green Book", Tony and Don finally

We’ve become friends too, haven’t we?”

Asai Mao was silent for a while, and then whispered: "As you like, Natsume-kun."

"It's quite hot today, how about a cup of fruit tea?"

Natsume Naoki didn't give her a chance to refuse, and took Asai Mao to a nearby milk tea shop.

"Two cups of fruit tea, please...ah, wait a moment."

He turned back and asked Asai Mao: "Is it okay to add ice?"

Asai Mao nodded silently.

Natsume Naoki smiled and pointed out two fingers to the boss: "That's two cups of fruit tea, both with less ice."

It stands to reason that Tokyo should still be very cold at the end of March, but today's temperature is surprisingly hot, so ridiculously hot that many weekend tourists were caught off guard.

So there were three circles of people outside the milk tea shop.

"Hey, boss, is our milk tea ready yet?"

Two young men with dyed yellow hair were leaning against the door of the milk tea shop with impatient expressions on their faces. The hot weather can easily make people irritable, especially unemployed gangsters who already have a bad temper.

One of them was grinning and looking around, and suddenly saw Asai Mao in a maid outfit. He was stunned, and then poked his companion in the waist.

"Hey, look! y! Are there any that are on point?"

The companion turned his head impatiently and was stunned when he saw Asai Mao.

Really on point.

Not only was Asai Mao who was stunning in her maid uniform but also cool and cool, Natsume Naoki beside her actually made the little gangster take a second look.

It turns out that top handsome guys who are too much above the average attract the attention of men and women in similar proportions.

"What the hell? The maid and the pretty boy from the coffee shop across the street came out to buy milk tea. I have no idea."

The person who spoke waved his hand to show disdain for his companion. Unexpectedly, because the movement was too large, he slapped the woman waiting for milk tea on the buttocks.

At this moment, Xiao Huangmao, the woman and the strong man beside the woman were all stunned.

"I did not do it on purpose……"

"You've watched too many fucking movies!"

Before Xiao Huangmao could explain, the strong man had already punched him in the face.

What a outrage, teasing his girlfriend in broad daylight?!

This punch was very hard on Huang Mao. He staggered as if he was drunk, holding his nose, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.

When Xiao Huangmao's friend saw that it was okay and there was no point in saying who was being irked, he yelled, rolled up his sleeves and kicked him.

This friend is a good friend, you can go to him if you need anything.

Suddenly, there was a fight at the entrance of the milk tea shop. The little yellow guys, who were not physically dominant, tried to grab whatever they could, and almost lifted up the milk tea shop's sealing machine and smashed it over.

Customers who were nearby dispersed one after another.

Asai Mao stared intently at the three men and one woman who were struggling together, always on guard against whether someone might accidentally injure Natsume Naoki.

Her fists were clenched, and her calves were straightened, ready to kick the guy who stumbled over with a side kick at any moment.

The battle maid form is activated! As long as she is protecting her master, the maid is invincible!

What happened...

Before she finished reading the lines, the next moment, a figure wearing a plaid shirt blocked her sight.

Natsume Naoki pulled her behind him and slowly retreated to a place out of reach to watch the show.

Within five minutes, the Yakuza organization that had jurisdiction over this area rushed to the scene to stop the dispute. Ten minutes later, the police also arrived at the scene, and the farce came to an end.

The milk tea shop employee who was hiding in the store came out holding his hat, put away the overturned chopping board, and started making milk tea again.

After the first four cups were gone, it was soon the turn of Natsume Naoki and the others. The two of them drank milk tea and prepared to go home.

"Why didn't you hide immediately?"

Asai Mao asked casually: "I heard from Aunt Natsume that you are in poor health and you will be tired even if you run fifty meters. When you were a child, you would run faster than anyone else when there was a fight."

"It's just me at that time, why don't I run away?" Natsume Naoki thought for a while, then realized that Asai Mao was talking about protecting her behind him just now: "I can't shrink back when I encounter something like that just now.

Let the girl protect me behind me, okay?"
