The Itan Private High School festival was in full swing, with each classroom transformed into its own unique world. Among the many intriguing setups, one room stood out—a maid café. The classroom buzzed with activity, its walls adorned with charming decorations, and a sea of girls in pristine maid dresses flitted about, serving guests with grace.

In the midst of this whimsical scene, Shuko, Komi and Shousuke's mother, was stationed at a cozy corner, assisting with the café’s operations. With a warm smile, she accepted a glass of water from Tadano.

"Have some water." Tadano said, offering the glass with a sheepish grin.

"Thank you!" Shuko responded, her eyes lighting up as she turned to him. "Tadano-kun?"

Shuko's surprise was evident as she recognized Tadano, who was a familiar face from when Komi often brought him home. However, today Tadano was donning an unexpected look—a long, pink wig styled into playful pigtails and a maid dress.

"I was... Kind of forced into this." Tadano explained with an awkward chuckle, prompting Shuko to laugh softly at his predicament.

As Shuko was about to respond, her attention shifted towards the door. "What are you doing? Come on, Shousuke!" She called out, causing the conversation to pause as everyone turned towards the entrance.

Shousuke, emerging with a slightly apprehensive but curious expression, made his entrance. His arrival was met with a chorus of delighted exclamations from the café girls, their faces flushing with admiration. They cooed over his appearance as he took his place on a regal chair, elevated like a throne. He settled himself with an air of nonchalance, one hand resting casually on the armrest, his head propped up with the other, and one leg crossed over the other.

The maids, visibly smitten, hovered around the throne, their gazes locked on Shousuke, who exuded a blend of charm and poise. Komi observed from a distance, her eyes wide with surprise.
