The Incubus System-Novel

90 Chapter 88. Maid In Pink Pigtails

We were standing in front of a building in dark brown paint in silence. All the windows were covered by boards and the front door was closed by a rolling door. A 'Closed' board sign was still hanging in front of it, but the cafe's name had been removed, indicating that it was permanently closed.

"That's too bad," I said in a disappointed tone. We used to come here once a month, but since we lost our father and decided to save more money, we never came again.

I glanced at Celia who was still staring at the cafe with a sad and disappointed face.

"Shall we try another cafe?" I tried to cheer her up.

She nodded reluctantly and we moved our feet again, walking down Peace Blossom Square's street, past the shops that were just getting ready to open.

After walking a few meters, she stopped and grabbed my hand. Her eyes suddenly glinted in excitement.

"Do you see that?" she said excitedly.

I turned to the direction she pointed and found a cafe in pink with cute girly ornaments not far from us. A colourful 'Tutty Fruity Maid Cafe' board sign in front of it.

"Let's try it!" she pulled me vigorously without asking for my approval. Celia really liked everything in pink, that's why I was not confused she was so excited about it.

- Tring!

A small bell rang when we opened the door and we were greeted by several women dressed in maids with cute headbands. Some of them in pigtails, some were wearing fake cat ears that made them look cute.

"Welcome to the Tutty Fruity Maid Cafe, master!" they greeted with a smile.

Celia looked excited while I also could feel Foxy moving on my head, I guessed she was also excited about this. But luckily her movements weren't that obvious, so the others didn't notice it. A maid led us to our seats and gave us a menu list in pink which contained lots of cute food pictures. The maid explained the food one by one since the food name looked weird to me, so weird that I couldn't imagine what it was. Like 'A lover in a blanket' was actually chicken fried rice wrapped in egg or omurice and 'Sweet Love' was honey pancakes.

"I'll have an omurice and a latte," I said.

"All right, one 'A lover in a blanket' and a 'Sweet bitter potion'," she repeated my order as she entered it into the tablet computer in her hand.

"I'll have a 'Sweet love' and a 'Rainbow potion'," said Celia.

The maid repeated her order and entered the order on the tablet computer. Then she collected the menu.

"I'll deliver your order soon, master," the maid said in a cute voice. Then she lowered her head and left.

My attention turned to Celia who sat across from me and looked around excitedly.

"I'm in heaven ..." she muttered with a happy smile.

While Foxy also showed the same happiness, even though she was still in a cap form, I caught her moving several times to change her position and point of view.

I chuckled silently at their reaction but a moment later a disturbing noise came from two seat behind Celia.

"Ruby, please be my personal servant," said a guy of my age who stood facing a maid with a pleading tone.

"I'm sorry. I'm not interested in it," said the cute-faced maid. Her long pink hair in two pigtails and two fake black cat ears on top of her head. I could tell that she didn't feel comfortable with that guest since she didn't call him master anymore.

"Please," that guy took her hand. Not only us, the other maids and guests also started looking at them.

"Please let me go." The maid named Ruby tried to release her hand but that guy didn't want to let her go.

Another man stood from his seat and approached them with a displeased face.

"Let her go!" Even though his body was smaller than his opponent, but he wasn't afraid. I had to admit his courage.

"It's none of your business," said the guy who was still holding the maid's hand.

As they started to argue, the cafe atmosphere was getting tense and it made us uncomfortable.

"Brother ..." Celia started to hold my hand on the table. Her face began to turn scared and her eyes were on them.

I exhaled in annoyance. I didn't know what that guy had to do with that maid but he shouldn't treat her like this. Their argument started to heat up, I could see the other maids starting to call for the security district, while the pink-haired maid could only bow her head in silence.

I glanced over the guy's head.

[Name: Tyler Cliffash]

[Level 2]

[HP: 48/48]

[MP: 16/16]

Secretly, I grabbed a pebble in the flower pot, placed it between my index finger and thumb and lowered my hand under the table to cover it from the CCTV's view.

As those two men were about to start fighting, I flicked my fingers, tossing the pebble into Tyler's hand, the guy who was gripping the maid's hand tightly.

[You have hit a human for 2 HP.]

"Aw!" he let go of her hand in reflex.

While the other man looked confused because his punch hadn't landed on him.

Tyler stared angrily at the man in front of him.

"How dare you!" He raised his fist. The man in front of him raised his arms to protect himself, while the others started screaming in fear.

But before his punch landed, I snapped my fingers at him.

'Hell Thunder.'

[Hell Thunder's power is limited to 20%.]

Thin dark lightning shot out of my fingertip and struck that Tyler guy. ????n????????????????????. ????????????

[You have struck a human for 12 HP.]

His body shook violently for a moment before he fell and passed out.

[The enemy has fainted.]

[You have gained EXP!]

Everyone looked at him in confusion including the man in front of him, but soon, one by one, they clapped their hands and praised the man who protected the maid, including me and Celia. While he could only turn his head around in confusion. Shortly, several people in security uniforms came into the cafe. They were the security district, the guards who were assigned to maintain security in each shopping district. Their task was to solve problems like this, assist the police in criminal cases and also help evacuate citizens if the demon's attack occurred. And instead of magic guns, they were only armed with shock tonfa.

They checked his condition briefly, made sure he was okay then they took him to a security post. Meanwhile, one of them took the CCTV footage as evidence. Even if I used my Hell Thunder skill, I was not afraid if they checked the footage, since my dark lightning was as thin as a thread. I was not sure the CCTV could record it.

The maid named Ruby approached the man who was helping her and said something to him. Meanwhile, my attention turned to Celia.

"You should have helped her. I'm sure you can beat him easily," Celia pouted.

"If I help her, she'll fall in love with me. Are you not afraid she will take me away?" I said in a half-joking tone. The reason I didn't want to help her directly was because I didn't want to cause any trouble like when I met Diamond for the first time. There were too many people here, I wanted to keep myself low profile.

"I know you're just teasing me," she pouted.

"Sorry for making you wait, master," said a maid who had come with our orders. One by one the cute looking foods and drinks were placed on the table.

"Thank you," I said as I turned to the maid and realized that she was the maid named Ruby earlier.

Her status appeared above her head.

[Name: Ruby Roseflame]

[Level 31]

[HP: 712/712]

[MP: 178/178]

As soon as I saw her unusual level and status, I immediately checked her with my observation skill.
