Scoring Contest

(Ceruno)

"Okay, that's enough for now."

"Your order has been received and will be delivered to you shortly. Please wait a moment!"

Hearing the noise coming from the changing room, I handed the tablet I had used to place my order back to the short-haired waitress, who left the private room with a professional and polite smile.

But speaking of which, is this waitress really a woman?

Given that this shop turns male customers into magical girls, I have reason to suspect that the waiters are also men...

Ah, me too?

There were many suspicious points about this restaurant, but finding dinner was one of our objectives.

It's worth mentioning that the food here is quite eclectic; none of the greasy dishes are there, and the greasiest item is probably the steak.

You say this menu is healthy...

Although it contains very little oil, it is packed with sugar.

Various salads, cakes, and muffins, as well as things that don't seem like a proper meal, such as black tea, cookies, milkshakes, and ice cream.

This shop...

We really wanted our guests to enjoy a magical girl-themed afternoon tea.

Imagine yourself as a cute and pretty young girl, dressed in all sorts of exquisite and gorgeous outfits, enjoying a colorful and delicious afternoon tea around the dining table and coffee table, laughing and discussing current hot topics, or simply rolling around on the bed together and playfully fighting, creating a rosy and girlish memory.

Buy back a girl's dream with money.

This restaurant exists for that purpose.

"Ceruno, we're all changed!"

After shouting, Xiaoling finally came out of the changing room.

She changed into a red and black witch outfit; the cape and witch's hat perfectly satisfied her chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) spirit, but her current appearance only made her seem cute, like a little sister!

Xiaoling Ling walked towards me with one hand on her hip, like a runway model.

"Let's rate our food pairings before the dishes even arrive! I'll start!"

I didn't think about it much.

"Then I declare Xiaoling to get nine points."

"Huh? Ten is the maximum score? Great!"

Xiaoling was overjoyed by my rating; she even turned her head to look at me.

Luckily, the waiter had already left the private room, otherwise he might have startled them.

I explained the reason for the points deduction.

"Your outfit lacks color; it's all red and black from head to toe, and it also lacks any small accessories, so deduct one point."

"Then I should wrap some bandages around my body!"

"Can bandages be considered anything other than decoration?"

"Director SpiCa even wears bandages as clothes!"

That's true...

"Hehe, next one... Xiaojie!"

With my hand gesturing to her head, Xiaojie Jie hopped out of the dressing room like a cute bunny. Her long, pointed ears resembled those of a dark elf from a fantasy story, but her attire was very modern: a pale blue T-shirt and a gray jacket, with her white sideburns tied into a braid, giving the impression of her clothes being worn backwards, as if a character from a fantasy work had been incorporated into a modern city.

This combination is great.

"Nine points!"

Xiaoling tilted her head up in my hand and asked:

"Huh? So where should this one be kept?"

Who found her those high heels?

"... I found it."

I looked down at her, momentarily speechless.

Pawa's Base Body is tall and slender, which suits her well in white stockings and high heels.

But Xiaojie was just a child, and her innocence clashed with high heels.

The next one to take the stage is the Golden.

She was wearing a onesie shaped like a husky.

"Woof!"

The Doggy barked at me with a grin, its eyes filled with anticipation as it awaited my rating...

Zero points!

The Doggy howled and pressed for an answer:

"Huh? Why?!"

"You're a Golden Retriever, not a Husky."

That's certainly not the real reason.

But there are no golden retriever pajamas!

"Finally, what's the point of matching outfits with a onesie? And why did you choose a dog-themed one?!"

I wouldn't be angry if she were any other animal...

Sigh, how can I make her forget that she's a dog?

"Ceruno is so mean!"

The Doggy ran through the dining room and living room, then pounced on the bed and rolled around.

Next up was little Mono, wearing a deerstalker hat.

"Hmm, seven or eight points, next one."

"Huh? That's low! And they're still not sure! Plus, their tone is so impatient!"

It's not that I have any objections, and there's nothing wrong with the outfit itself, but this cute boy style of dressing isn't really to my taste.

Most importantly... I'd rather see how the Yezi are dressed.

As everyone knows, the show before the grand finale is always the one that gets sacrificed; this is an age-old, cruel truth.

But after Mono, Yezi didn't come out of the locker room for a long time.

Where are the Yezi?

Mono chuckled, looking like he was ready to watch a good show.

"Perhaps he's just embarrassed?"

"Hmm, what exactly are they wearing?"

Mono then chimed in, "Little Yezi, come out quickly and let Ceruno see you!"

"Stop chattering in my head all the time."

Complaints first came from the locker room.

Then, Yezi walked out somewhat awkwardly...

Wow?

The oversized white long-sleeved sun-protective shirt, with its hem covering all the way to the buttocks, creates the illusion of being naked from the waist down, teasing the mind.

Beneath the sun-protective clothing, which resembled semi-transparent frosted glass, she wore a two-piece black swimsuit with an X-shaped fabric.

The coat added a touch of mystery to everything, including her figure, except for her chest, which was clearly visible against the sun-protective clothing, making it impossible to look away.

Her long, slender legs, which seemed to be cramped, were covered in high-density over-the-knee stockings. The tops of the stockings ripped around her thighs above her knees, creating a white, unsightly expanse of skin against the hem of her sun-protective clothing.

I looked up and examined Yezi's face again only after seeing her feet the whole way.

She was wearing a straw hat, the brim of which obscured her eyes, but couldn't hide her tightly pursed lips, a result of shyness...

"Ten out of ten!" *5

A perfect score, unanimously approved.

If you wore this on the beach, you'd probably attract a swarm of bedbugs...

"Hehe, Miluno, I'm not incapable anymore~"

Mono approached with a lewd smile.

There were bedbugs here.

"Stop fooling around."

Yezi sat back down beside me with a reproachful tone, took off her hat, and naturally took my hand.

Even if she doesn't become Miluno, she's already a true beautiful girl... which means my former best friend is gone forever.

Thinking of this, a bittersweet feeling welled up inside me, a feeling I couldn't quite grasp.

"Have you ordered all the food?" Yezi, oblivious to my thoughts, looked at the Golden rolling around on the bed and asked, "Since each private room only operates once a day, can we stay overnight here?"

Xiaoling said confidently, "It's possible, but there will be an overnight fee."

Upon hearing that money was required, Yezi hurriedly shook her head.

"Then forget it. Why don't you come home with us tonight? Aunt Yuehan will be very happy if you Past."

Xiaoling nodded on my lap, indicating that she had no objection.

"Then let's not go back to the City School tonight, okay? It's just that Xiaojie..."

Knock knock--

The food is served.

The waiter was asked to push the food cart in.

I quickly tossed Xiaoling's head across the table so that Xiaojie could press it onto Xiaoling's neck...

"Ouch! That hurts!"

However, neither the force nor the angle was controlled.

Xiaoling's head fell to the ground, and she cried out in pain as she rolled to the waiter's feet.

"Eek--Eek!!!" (Screams in agony)
