On the way to the restaurant, Lin Wuming once again saw a familiar figure…
Today, the Seventh District Student Dormitory was filled with active “maids,” but among the many maids, the one before his eyes was unique.
Although she also wore a standard maid outfit, the color scheme was yellow and black, completely different from the black and white of the other maids.
Perhaps it was the privilege of being the Head Maid, or perhaps just Yun Chuan Ju Ya’s personal preference; in any case, her maid outfit was noticeably different from the others.
And at this moment, this Head Maid, who was in charge of all the maids today, was behaving very strangely, bowing her head and bending over, moving and looking around stealthily.
It was as if she was searching for something.
“Yun Chuan, what are you looking for?” Shirai Kuroko couldn’t stand it anymore and called out to her.
Just this morning, this person had repeatedly emphasized the importance of proper etiquette and not leaving a “rude” impression on visitors.
But now, it seemed the Head Maid herself had broken the rule?
Noticing someone approaching, Yun Chuan Ju Ya seemed to switch instantly, immediately standing up straight and revealing a flawless expression: “My apologies, I was a bit out of sorts just now. May I ask… Oh, it’s Shirai.”
Yun Chuan Ju Ya showed a relieved expression: “With Shirai, it’s fine. Well then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go ahead.”
“Oh, right,” Yun Chuan Ju Ya stopped again and said, “If you’re looking for Misaka Mikoto, she’s not in the restaurant. Shokuhou and Hu Feng Tong Xue aren’t either.”
“Don’t trouble yourself,” Shirai Kuroko said, “We’re just going to have lunch, and I’ve already contacted Onee-sama.”
“That’s good,” Yun Chuan Ju Ya said, “Please wish her a successful performance for me.”
“Wait,” Shirai Kuroko pressed, “What were you looking for just now? Do you need help?”
“I was looking for a special visitor,” Yun Chuan Ju Ya said, “But it’s just my private matter, so don’t worry about it.”
As she spoke, Yun Chuan Ju Ya seemed to suddenly think of something, turned and walked directly towards Lin Wuming: “Boss, you might encounter them. If you do, please keep an eye out for me. If there’s a special visitor…”
Mid-sentence, she shook her head and changed her mind: “No, never mind. Just enjoy today’s event. Well then, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll take my leave.”
With that, Yun Chuan Ju Ya lifted her skirt and curtsied. Then she turned and left.
“Did she… recognize me?” Lin Wuming asked.
“Clearly, yes,” Shirai Kuroko spread her hands.
“So what went wrong again?” Lin Wuming turned to look at the window on the other side of the corridor, examining himself in the reflection on the glass. “How did she recognize me?”
Thinking back carefully, the words “Senior Wuming” didn’t seem to appear in the conversation just now, did they?
“Don’t let her appearance fool you,” Shirai Kuroko explained, “Yun Chuan is indeed an excellent student of Liaoluan Housekeeping Girls’ School.”
“I know that, of course,” Lin Wuming said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked her to manage my foundation.”
“No,” Shirai Kuroko shook her head, “My point is, by that school’s standards, only a maid who can recognize her master at any time is a qualified maid.”
“Just because of that?” Lin Wuming clicked his tongue, “Isn’t that a bit exaggerated…?”
However, thinking of Tsuchimikado Maika’s various actions in the original work, he felt that this level of high-spec maid might not be impossible.
After hearing this, Saten Ruiko couldn’t help but exclaim, “What an amazing maid…”
“It’s simply unimaginable,” Haruue Erii was even more full of admiration, “And the person who can afford such an ultra-spec maid is even more unimaginable…”
“Senior Wuming is one of them,” Shirai Kuroko, however, was calm, “So don’t overthink it, just treat it normally.”
“Senior Wuming is also an impressive figure,” Haruue Erii said.
“Alright, let’s go in quickly,” Lin Wuming said, “We can talk while we eat.”
The density of acquaintances in this building today was too high; not only Lin Wuming himself, but also the girls around him often encountered their classmates or friends.
And every time they met someone they knew, stopping to greet and inquire was the most basic etiquette, and sometimes they even spent more time chatting.
As a result, a short corridor became a stop-and-go journey, making it exceptionally difficult to traverse.
Finally, the restaurant was within sight, and Lin Wuming really didn’t want to be delayed at the entrance again for some strange reason.
“Uh… excuse me, may I ask,” at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind them again, “Is the restaurant in this direction?”
Turning back, it was indeed the spiky-haired figure of Kamijou Touma.
However, Kamijou Touma wasn’t asking Lin Wuming’s group, but rather other maids passing by in the corridor.
“I’m really sorry, I got a little lost…” Kamijou Touma said, scratching his head and chuckling awkwardly.
After confirming the direction was correct, Kamijou Touma also walked towards them, muttering with great emotion, “It’s really not easy; it’s so hard to even find a restaurant…”
“And I even got lost. Am I being assimilated by that guy Wuming?”
“…” Lin Wuming looked over with a speechless expression.
The girls around him also looked at Lin Wuming.
However, this time, Lin Wuming’s disguise finally worked; when Kamijou Touma passed by, he didn’t recognize him.
“Ah, it’s you, Shirai.” Among the group, Kamijou Touma only recognized Shirai Kuroko, so he stopped to say hello and incidentally reconfirmed, “Your clothes… You’re also a maid today, right? Is the restaurant here?”
“Yes,” Shirai Kuroko said helplessly, “It’s just ahead, there’s a nameplate on the room door.”
“Ah, thank you very much, I won’t bother you all…” Kamijou Touma quickly said.
“Seriously, you already asked just now, didn’t you? Is it necessary to confirm again?” Shirai Kuroko complained.
“Well, it’s better to be cautious,” Kamijou Touma chuckled, “After all, this is a girls’ dormitory, not just anywhere you can enter…”
Alright, Lin Wuming somewhat understood why this guy was so careful.
Considering Kamijou Touma’s inherent “good luck with women” and “harem protagonist” traits, he might have gotten lost in a strange place just now and triggered some special event.
Shirai Kuroko thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: “I see, your consideration certainly makes a lot of sense.”
Because their destination was the same, both parties walked and chatted. By the time the conversation ended, they had already arrived at the restaurant entrance.
“It really is close,” Kamijou Touma’s face lit up with joy, and he nodded in satisfaction.
Then he tilted his ear, seemingly confirming something, adjusted his expression, and walked in with great momentum.
“Index!”
