1. "These additional services seem so sketchy! What in the everloving fuck is this?!"
2. "Our competition has increased lately, plus fishing is prohibited during the summer, so prices are up..."
3. "The restaurant's been losing money and we're in the red, which has been causing mr. Sent a lot of stress. So, the other maids and I came up with this solution."
4. "Don't worry about it, evie. Our wages will go up if we can increase our cafe's revenue, so this is a good thing."
5. "Good", my ass!!!
6. "You imbecile! What are you going to do if some creepy patron harasses you?!"
Naglo-load…Naglo-load…
1. "It's fine! We just sit next to a guest, pour them wine and help them with their meal. That's it..."
2. "Plus, we all take care of each other at this restaurant, so that kind of thing won't happen."
3. "But, what if??? What if some- thing bad happens?!"
4. "Well, evie, I can protect myself, you know?"
5. "If I'm not available for those services, all I have to do is not wear this thing~"
6. "But aren't you wearing it right now?!"
7. "In any case, it's not like what you're imagining."
8. "Miss maid, some help over here, please!"
9. "Ah... Someone's calling for me."
10. "My apologies for leaving you now, evie, but you can call me over once you're ready to order."
11. This girl just doesn't get it!
12. As the heroine of an otome game, she's a powerful magnet for guys and bad situations!
13. What is she going to do if she encounters someone with ulterior motives?!
1. This is unacceptable. I have to stop something like that from happening!
3. "I'd like to pick a maid."
4. "Whoa... Who are her parents? She's dropping those coins like they're nothing!"
5. "Rich folk really do have queer tastes."
6. "E-evie?"
7. "Certainly. Which maid would you like?"
8. "I want her."
9. "I want this girl to serve me exclusively for the rest of the day."
1. "What should I do now, mr. Manager?!"
2. "Just go for it! You're young, after all!"
3. "???"
6. "What are you doing just standing there? You've been chosen."
7. "Do I have to teach you how to do your job, too?"
9. "........."
10. "A-alright! Right this way, master!"
12. "Um... Evie, are you bullying me right now?"
14. "I. Am. Not!"
1. "*groan* I really can't eat any more!"
2. "Hmph... You're full after eating that little?"
3. "Well then, we can end the meal service."
4. "I'll go put these away right now-"
5. "Sit down."
6. "I purchased your work hours for today, so I'm your master now."
7. "Maids shouldn't do anything without their master's orders."
8. "...yes, master."
9. Evie is definitely mad at me, right?
10. "May I ask... What you would like me to do next?"
11. "Come over here and sit down."
12. "Um, okay?"
13. "Huh? Huuuh?!"
14. "Hmph, see how vulnerable you'd be if I were a guy with bad intentions?"
16. "I don't understand. How is it acceptable to provide a service like this?"
17. "It's not safe! As your guardian, I'll never allow it!"
18. "When did you become my guardian, evie...?"
19. "And anyway, this is just part of my job as a maid."
1. "So, would you be okay with this if someone else made the same request?"
2. "Of course not! I'm only okay with it because it's you, evi-"
3. "Hmph.... In any case, it's easy for men with ulterior motives to take advantage of you through these add-on services,"
4. "So I don't want you to take on this type of work."
5. Ah... So this is why she's angry?
6. I know evie doesn't mean it that way, but...
7. Her anger and jealousy make her sound like an overly possessive lover~
8. "You know, if you're having problems with money, you can just tell me."
9. "I may not be a noble anymore, but I can at least pay for your living expenses as well."
10. "No, I can't take your money, evie."
11. "Why not?"
12. "I'm freely offering it to you. Forget about interest, you don't even need to pay me back."
13. "Because-"
14. "I would like us to be equals who can support each other in every way!"
15. "(The married kind)"
16. "If I kept relying on you for money, I'd always feel ashamed around you!"
17. ...oh, so that's what she was concerned about?
18. "Well... I have no problems with the maid work you were doing before,"
19. "But you can't do this kind of sketchy work! Got it?"
20. "Got it... If you don't want me to do it, I won't."
1. Weird... She's being extremely agreeable today.
2. Normally she would push things a bit further in a situation like this,
3. But today, even though I'm lying down on her lap, she hasn't done anything ridiculous...
4. Maybe it's because I acted more aggressively today?
5. So this works with her... Hmm, I'll keep that in mind.
4. The "closed season for fishing" (禁渔期 jinyu qi) is a designated time in China during the late spring and summer during which fishing is prohibited in order for fish stocks to replenish.
5. "Wow, I'm mr. Manager."
