Otaku. (Kiss him not me)

CHAPTER 27:

Chapter 27:

I was confused while heading home.
I wish I never told Mutsumi, I'm more confused than ever.

Since I'm not rich, unlike the many people in this world, I was heading back home while walking.

Then I remembered.

I had a shift today.

I have never run so fast in my entire life.

-----

I huffed and puffed as I reached my workplace, even though I took a train, it was still far.

Yuki looked at me with a smile.
"Ah! Right on time!" She exclaimed.

'Miraculously.' I thought in my head.

I entered the back part and begrudgingly put on the maid outfit.

I walked inside ready to greet the customers, but when I saw one customer's face, my smile dropped.

"Kazuma...Mutsumi?" I mumbled in shock.

When his eyes met mine, his eyes also widened in shock, until he gave me a smirk and took out his phone.

Is he doing what I think he's doing..?

I saw the flash.

I glared at him and stormed to his direction, but he acted all innocent while looking on the menu, the smirk remaining on his face.

"I want one Latte--"

"Cut the bullcrap, Kazuma." I said and glared.

He fake gasped.
"I never knew you cursed."

"I never knew you like going to maid cafe's." I shot back.

He  smirked at me.
"I want one Latte---"

"Tell me what you really want, Kazuma, you can't seriously just be in here for a Latte."

He rolled his eyes.
"No, I'm serious, I need a latte, and since you're the waitress...chop chop."

My eye twitched in annoyance.
Then I remembered something, something that has also been bugging me.

"We need to talk." I told him.

He smiled at me.
"Sure, even though we're already talking but...after your shift and when you give me a latte."

Before I turned back I gave him one last glare.
"You also need to delete that photo."

While I was walking away, he called out to me.

"Oh right! I want one chocolate cake! With extra nutella, two waffle sandwiches, and a banana!"

I stared at him in confusion.
"A...banana?"

"I need to stay healthy." He answered.

I huffed in annoyance, and looked at the time.
"Coming right up." I mumbled.

Two hours and thirty-five minutes until my shift ends.

..Damnit.

---

My shift was about to end, just four more..minutes.

I looked at Kazuma's table in horror, he kept ordering non stop, just how much money does this man have?

No, scratch that, Why is everyone richer than I am?

When the clock hit Nine, I sighed in relief, my shift was finally over.

I changed at the back and looked for Kazuma.
"I told you, we need to talk." I told him as I crossed my arms.

He put his hand on his chin.
"Talk about what?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

He then fake gasped.
"Is this the part where you confess your undying love for me?" He asked.

I pushed his face.
"No, It's...important." I told him and led him outside.

He smiled.
"So, what's this about?" He asked.

"About Izumo and Kira.." I said.

His eyes hardened.
"What about them?" He spat out.

My eyes narrowed in confusion.
When Kira, Izumo, and I, returned a book to Mutsumi-senpai, he wasn't like that.. He..accepted them.

"When we visited your house, You were fine with them, why the sudden change?" I asked and bit my lip.

His eyebrows shot up.
"They..did?"

He gasped.
"No...I remember now, those damned fools, I forgot everything but...I'm glad the experiment didn't work long on me." He then looked away.
"So that's why Asuma never made a move, he didn't remember...because of them."

I tilted my head.
"What...do you mean?"

He sighed.
"When I saw you at the amusement park...but its not like we ever went inside, anyways..when I saw you there, it felt like the first time I saw you...in this time." He told me.

"But then you reminded me that I also saw you before that time, when I snuck in my brother's house....so I wonder, why did I forget? How, rather."

I narrowed my eyes.
"You know things I don't, what's wrong with Izumo and Kira?"

"They're the children of a famous scientist and doctor, it's no surprise they were able to find..something like this."

"Your confusing me."

He looked at me one last time before walking away.
"Since Asuma is my brother, I'll try to find a cure for him, but since the effect on you is stronger, you're on your own." He told me.

"Your saying gibberish!"

He looked at me with sad eyes.
"It won't be gibberish...if you still remember."

"What don't I remember?"

"..You need to remember, yourself, just like I did."

I didn't know it was possible to be more confused than earlier.

I need answers..but from who?

Everything...is...so confusing.
