My Avatar is the Heroine

"Huh? Wait... what did you say? Impossible."

What kind of logic is that? A love at first sight, throwing yourself at someone, that kind of cheesy plot? How could it happen so easily?

Not to mention the other party was a chicken.

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. From the very beginning, I thought you were a cute girl, and my strictness towards you was just out of care as a senior. Although the job of a maid isn't dangerous, you're so pretty, it made me worried, so I gave you the cleaning work. It wasn't until the U.A. Sports Festival that day that I found out your true form was a handsome guy, exactly my type. Even though I only saw you from afar a few times, I'm sure I really fell in love with you, like love at first sight."

"Pfft..."

Damn it, no way?

"No, no, wait, let me think." Seeing the other party getting closer, Su Lin leaned against the wall with a thud, his expression a little panicked.

Can you believe it? Someone with the lower body of a normal girl and the head of a chicken?

And this chicken has fallen in love with you at first sight and confessed.

"You think it's absurd, don't you?" The Maid Manager suddenly sighed. "Don't let my beautiful appearance fool you, I've always felt very lonely. Before I truly saw you, I never thought I would develop feelings for anyone. But now, not only have you arrived, but you've arrived so suddenly that I can't resist. No matter what, I must hold you tightly in my hands."

"No... Big sister, you have to give me a chance."

Holy crap...

Su Lin raised his hand to block the other party. Seeing the sharp beak about to kiss him, he was truly about to break down.

He never imagined that one day he would be forcibly kissed by a chicken.

This sharp beak is really for poking people, isn't it?

Thump!

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a maid called out urgently, "Maid Manager, a guest specifically requested you to play board games with them."

The Maid Manager's expression changed, then she let out a "Tch," stepped back half a step, tidied her clothes, and said, "I understand, I'll be right there."

Then, she cast a gentle glance at Su Lin: "I'll be waiting for your answer, tonight."

Watching this person leave him, Su Lin, who slowly reverted to Yukino's appearance, looked at his hands with a sense of existential dread.

After waiting for a few minutes, she finally left the changing room and returned to the hall.

"Yukino."

A cute twin-tailed little maid ran up, tilted her head, and smiled at her: "Someone specifically asked for you to serve them."

"What, me serve them?" Yukino pointed at herself, bewildered.

"Yes, we told him you were leaving tomorrow, so he offered to pay more to have you come over, and he guaranteed it would just be for chatting."

"Alright."

She wanted to see who dared to ask for her.

When she arrived at the familiar corner and saw Fumikage Tokoyami sitting there expressionlessly, Yukino immediately grumbled:

"It's you?"

Chapter 53: The Most Exciting Way to Refuse

[PS: There were a few minor errors in the previous chapter, which have been corrected.]

--- Divider ---

"Ahem."

Seeing Yukino appear in her maid outfit, Tokoyami-kun felt a little embarrassed and turned his face slightly, calming his mind before saying calmly, "I don't know you."

"..."

The maid beside them glanced at the two suspiciously and muttered to herself, "What do you mean 'don't know each other'? Could this be some cheesy romantic entanglement from a TV drama?"

On the principle of not disturbing, she carefully retreated, while silently wishing Yukino well in her heart.

A few veins on Yukino's forehead throbbed. Finally, she asked faintly, "Then, Master, what do you need me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything." Tokoyami-kun scratched his crow-like head.

Actually, being called "Master" by Yukino was quite thrilling, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Yukino was also slightly relieved. This classmate was the type to keep secrets, so he wouldn't expose her embarrassing job at the maid cafe. Otherwise, shouts of "What, the Class President is a maid!" would probably spread instantly beyond Class A and even Class B, instantly collapsing the image she had long cultivated, and adding some indescribable meaning.

"I won't kneel on the ground for you like other maids," Yukino said coldly, seeing other maids kneeling to feed their masters omurice.

Fumikage Tokoyami shivered inexplicably. Just as he was about to refuse, Dark Shadow popped out from him and said, "Exactly what I wanted. Although I think it would be very stimulating to see the Class President kneeling on the ground, calling someone 'Master'."

"How can you say that?" Fumikage Tokoyami righteously retorted to Dark Shadow.

Yukino's lips twitched. "Then, Master, what do you want me to do now?"

"Hmm, just sit opposite me."

"Okay." Yukino sat down, brewed him a cup of tea, handed it over, and then recited in a formulaic, displeased tone, "Enjoy, Master."

"Honestly, that look of disdain on your face..." Dark Shadow couldn't help but want to complain, but seeing Yukino's ashen face, it wisely shut up.

"So, tell me, what do you want me to do for you during this hour? If it's just playing games together, I'd be happy to."

"Ahem, to be precise, I hope you can stay with me until closing time. There are a few extremely annoying customers here, and from a classmate's perspective, I don't want you to be wronged for any reason," Fumikage Tokoyami stated truthfully.

Dark Shadow also let out a chuckle, "Honestly, if your classmates saw you acting subservient and calling someone 'Master' in front of others, they'd be quite upset."

"I think they'd be very happy," Yukino calmly poured herself a cup of tea, changing the subject. "I also have to thank the Maid Manager for not assigning me any work that requires close contact with customers. But speaking of the Maid Manager, I always feel like you..."

Under Yukino's gaze, Fumikage Tokoyami tilted his head slightly, "Initially, that was my intention, but after you arrived, I changed my mind."

"What do you mean?"

"If even your charm can't compare, Dark Shadow definitely wouldn't be able to accept it," Fumikage Tokoyami expressed his approval of Yukino.

Yukino's eyebrows twitched unnaturally a few times.

Looking at him, he didn't seem like someone who would fall for anyone. She guessed he had seen something that fit "darkness" in the Maid Manager, and then discovered an even stronger "dark aura" in Yukino, so he decisively "changed his heart."

"Dark Feast," Yukino said expressionlessly.

"Dark Feast!" Dark Shadow immediately roared excitedly.

Damn it!

Fumikage felt like he had exposed something.

Three hours later, closing time.

"Master, welcome home. We had a very happy chat today," Yukino said, calling someone that for the last time, her mood was good, and her tone was considerably lighter.

Fumikage took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, trying to conceal his inner excitement.

After saying goodbye like this, Yukino also faced the most solemn matter.

The Maid Manager's confession.

Pulled back into the dim corridor next to the changing room, she leaned against the wall, facing that sharp, beak-like face, her feelings complicated.

"Can I have your answer now?"

"Can you... not be so hasty?" Yukino placed her hands behind her back, saying helplessly.

"No, this is your last chance. I'm afraid you'll leave and never return."

"Alright, then... I'll give you my answer."

Yukino swallowed, calmed her mind, and then separated her main body.

The next second, right in front of the Maid Manager, Yukino hugged her main body tightly, deliberately showing a look of deep affection, and kissed her deeply.

The Maid Manager was completely stunned.

In front of her, a man and a woman were embracing, kissing as if enjoying themselves. And one of them was the man she had fallen in love with at first sight.

This answer was indeed direct enough.

Su Lin, to make his performance seem less like acting, deliberately made the kiss more passionate, even using his tongue without hesitation.

Soon, Yukino began to pant, making the Maid Manager's face even more dejected.

Ten-odd seconds later, their lips parted, and a trace of clear liquid hung at the corners of their mouths.

Su Lin turned his head, staring at her emotionlessly, "Do you understand now?"

The chicken-person and the human stared blankly at each other. After a short while, the Maid Manager's eyes turned red, and a tear rolled down.

"I understand. Perhaps I really don't deserve you."

After saying this, she turned and left the scene, leaving only a stumbling, lonely figure.

"Ugh~"

As soon as the other party left, Yukino on her side immediately gagged.

Although her main body felt great, on this side, due to her male thoughts, she couldn't accept kissing herself.

It was unavoidable; kissing someone who looked exactly like herself felt truly disgusting.

But what was terrifying was that this disgust, coupled with the pitiful appearance of having no choice but to do it, gave her main body a sense of conquering pleasure.

"Still not adaptable enough. It's ultimately a mindset issue. How can one not accept oneself?" Shaking her head, she controlled Yukino's avatar and went to the boss to collect her 120,000 yen salary.

"It's a real shame you're leaving. Once you're made permanent, your monthly salary could at least triple. Although the work might be a bit tougher then."

Perhaps it was because her customer reviews had been getting better lately, but the boss now saw Yukino as a cash cow and was reluctant to let her go.

"Thank you, boss, but I've realized I'm really not suited for maid work."

"That's precisely why the customers like you."

"..."

Chapter 54: Daily Training

By the time she returned home, it was already completely dark.

Su Lin's main body went to make dinner, while Yukino took off her shoes, set down her backpack, and took out paper and pen, sitting on a chair to start planning her future training.

She discovered a serious problem.

That is, no matter how much their minds were shared, there was still some disharmony between different bodies when they cooperated.

It was like after eating sticky candy, the tongue knew a certain tooth was stuck with sugar and could precisely locate it, but when trying to feel for it with a finger, it couldn't be found.

"As expected, I need more practice. Since Takanashi Rikka is here, it's necessary to conduct some higher-intensity, more skillful training to enhance Yukino's combat power."

With that thought, she summoned Rikka, and the two bodies went to Seaside Park together, finding a deserted corner to begin their practice.

"Alright, let's spar."

Takanashi Rikka pointed at the empty air and shouted in a chuunibyou manner, "Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Ice needles from the void, heed my call!"

Swish swish swish~

Slender ice needles materialized in mid-air, spun a few times, and then flew towards Yukino one after another.

Puff puff puff~

"Damn it, I couldn't dodge at all."

Protecting her head with her hands, Yukino was immediately pierced by the ice needles, each about 10 centimeters long. Blood flowed down her collar.

"Mmm, so, if I were to face such an attack personally, even if I sensed the direction of the flying needles, I wouldn't be able to dodge in time?"

Yukino was somewhat disappointed in her own reaction speed.

Strictly speaking, most people in the hero academy fought in a straightforward manner, with little to no technique. This was also why Yukino hadn't suffered much when fighting others hand-to-hand.

But this didn't mean technique was useless.

It was impossible for her to defeat Katsuki Bakugo even if she had the same power level as him. The reason was simple: Bakugo's mastery of his Quirk was extremely high. The combination of various techniques was far superior to that of other Quirk users.

"If I'm still like this when I go to other worlds in the future, it definitely won't be enough."

Thinking this, she had Rikka strike two chuunibyou poses and shout, "Appear, automatic attack blades!"

Slender iron swords materialized in the air. This form of power was close to Yaoyorozu's creation, but with many limitations.
