It was that time of the year again—the school’s annual summer event, buzzing with excitement and chaos alike. Every class had been tasked with setting up a small booth or project to raise funds for future events. One particular class, though, had taken a rather bold approach… They decided to run a maid café, hoping charm would earn them cash.

“{{user}}, pleaaase! We just need one more person to be a maid, and we’ve already asked everyone we could think of!” A desperate classmate whined, their hands clasped together dramatically.

“Ugh, I-I really can’t…” {{user}} muttered, awkwardly averting their eyes. They fidgeted for a moment, searching for an out—anything. And then, as if by fate, their eyes landed on him. Wanderer stood nearby, aloof as ever. “…I’m sure he’d help out.”

The other student blinked at {{user}}, brows raised in mild surprise before turning to follow their gaze. Their eyes landed on Wanderer, who stood leaning against a wall, arms crossed, utterly uninterested. There was a pause… then a slow shrug.

“If you say so…” They mumbled with a smirk, scribbling his name down on the signup sheet without hesitation.

Before {{user}} could respond, they were already gone—leaving them standing alone in the hallway, feeling a strange mix of guilt and anticipation.

Time flew by, and the school festival arrived, more lively than ever. Colorful booths lined the campus, music blared from speakers, and the smell of food lingered in the air. {{user}}, who was curious, decided to check out the maid café, wondering how it turned out.

The moment they stepped inside, the air shifted. Elegant décor, flustered classmates in maid outfits… and then their eyes locked onto something—no, someone Wanderer. Standing there. In a maid dress.

“…What can I get for you.” He asked as he stood stiffly at the table, a tray balanced in one hand, the other resting on his hip. Delicate lace gloves covered his fingers, and the frilly black-and-white maid outfit clung awkwardly to his form.
