※Alisa’s Frustration
“You’re going to ask Kogure-kun how to cook while doing housekeeping, right? Don’t worry! I chose the sexiest one, so Kogure-kun will be totally smitten with you.”
“What does cooking have to do with being sexy!?”
“You want to win against Hiiragi-san, right?”
“That’s right!”
My first love. The first time I’ve ever fallen for a boy. I’ve never felt this way before.
I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll make Ryouma take notice of me.
“Shizuku, give me the outfit. I’ll master it by tomorrow night!”
“That’s the spirit! But let me take photos first.”

Yesterday, Shizuku ended up taking various photos of me posing. Thanks to that, I think I’ve managed to master wearing the maid outfit. After school, I’ll immediately go home and put on the maid outfit. I’m preparing to welcome Ryouma, who will be coming after club activities. I’ve done a lot of simulations to make sure Ryouma will notice me.
The skirt is short, and the chest area is loose… Isn’t this too perverted? But if Ryouma is the only one who sees it, there’s no problem!
I’ve also received a charm from Shizuku, so I’ll be safe even if something happens. Not that it will.
Shizuku said she wouldn’t stop by the house today, so there shouldn’t be any interruptions.
“Everything’s ready… Hurry up and come, Ryouma!”

That’s when it happened. The doorbell rang. The sound is different for the gate and the front door. The only people who can come in through the front door are family, Shizuku, or Ryouma.
So… I opened the front door as is and struck the pose I had planned in advance.
“Welcome home, Master! Meow~!”
“Wow…! Alisa-chan, you’re so cute!”
“Meow?”
There stood a dumbfounded Ryouma and… Hiiragi-san, who was smiling with interest at me.
“Why is Hiiragi-san here?”
“Alisa-chan has this side to her, huh…”
“Ah… ahh… I’ve been seen! In this outfit! Nooooo!”
I want to die.

Ryouma’s POV
What on earth is happening here? At school, the strikingly beautiful and strong-willed Asahina Alisa, who could be called a queen for her dignified and cool demeanor, is now…
“Meow~”
She was wearing something unbelievable. White cat ears that matched her platinum blonde hair perfectly, along with a white frill. For some reason, her midriff was exposed… and the loose neckline offered a glimpse of her chest. Her black skirt was so short that bending over would reveal everything underneath. On top of that, her white thighs were dazzling. This was truly indecent.
“It’s a maid outfit, right? Why… are you dressed like that?”
“I-I thought I’d ask Ryouma to teach me how to cook.”
“That’s way too revealing for that!?”
If it’s about learning to cook, a normal apron would suffice! However, the sight of Alisa, embarrassed and unable to look me in the eye, was unbearably cute.
“The maid outfit is one thing, but why the cat ears…”
“Because I heard Ryouma likes them.”
“Where did you get that information!?”
“Shizuku.”
“That means it was Reo! Don’t go spreading my personal tastes around!”
That guy Reo, he’s so smitten with Otsuki-san, he’d spill anything, even my personal preferences.
“Meow?”
Damn, she’s cute. The compatibility of cat ears with a maid outfit is off the charts.
Otsuki-san really knows what’s up.
Before I knew it, Tsumugi was staring at me intently.
“Now that I think about it, Hiyori-chan had a cat-eared headband… but that’s…”
“Eh… your little sister?”
“Tsumugi, Alisa. Wait, just wait a second.”
Tsumugi placed her hand on my shoulder.
“Ryouma. I think it’s questionable to impose your fetishes on a five-year-old sister.”
“I didn’t mean it like that, so stop it!”
It was the result of thinking about how to make angelic Hiyori cuter. It was never meant to be lewd.
Lewd is like the outfit Alisa is wearing right now!
Alisa stepped closer to me, her gaze fierce.
“By the way, why is Hiiragi-san here?”
“We happened to be walking home together… Tsumugi wanted to come. I tried to contact you for permission, but there was no response.”
“Ah, I left my smartphone in my room.”
So, she’s been here all this time in that outfit without her smartphone. I wonder what she’s feeling.
“Anyway! …Why are you looking away?”
“No… that’s…”
“Maybe it doesn’t suit me after all… I guess so, right? Ryouma, you probably prefer someone cute like Hiiragi-san.”
Tears welled up in the corners of Alisa’s eyes, and I was flustered by her unexpected reaction. I grabbed both of her hands.
“It suits you too much!”
“!”
“That’s why… That’s why I can’t look directly at you, Alisa. You’re too cute with those cat ears that it’s not fair!”
“Eh… tehehehe, you think I’m cute… tehehe, well, it’s not like I’m happy or anything.”
Her teary face transformed into a melted expression. As cute as she looked, calling a girl cute like this was too forward, even for friends. I might be ridiculed by Tsumugi for this pathetic sight. When I looked at Tsumugi, she was holding a multitude of cat ear headbands at the back table.
No, why are there so many?
“Hey, Ryouma.”
Tsumugi called out with a slightly spoiled voice. On her head, she wore the cat ear headband she had picked up earlier, and she placed her hands, curled like a cat’s, beside her face.
“I’m a black cat, meow!”
“Ugh! I knew black cats were my favorite, and the impact is just devastating.”
“Mu~~! So Ryouma really does like black-haired girls like Hiiragi-san! Stupid!”
When I please one, I anger another. Handling girls is very difficult…
For now, I decided to ban the cat ears. I had Alisa and Tsumugi take them off, and finally, we could start preparing dinner. The plan was to teach cooking, but it was already late, so we decided to postpone it to another day. I quickly prepared dinner for three with Tsumugi’s help…
“Hiiragi-san can even cook… I stand no chance.”
Alisa, still in her maid outfit, was gobbling up her food. Tonight’s dinner was chicken saute. I made a spicy sauce to go with the rice, and Alisa couldn’t stop asking for seconds.
“The food Ryouma and Hiiragi-san made is so delicious. It’s filled with love… I feel like I could become your child.”
What is she talking about? I held back my retort and continued eating.
