Rita suddenly didn't know what to say. She had only been joking, but Shiro had taken it seriously!
"It's not as delicious as Rita's cooking."
Shiina Mashiro added another sentence.
"..."
Had she spoiled Shiina Mashiro's palate?
Still... Rita was happy to hear Shiina Mashiro say that, but they were in someone else's shop. Rita looked around and made sure no one had heard.
"Shiro, just make do with this meal for now. I'll make you something delicious tonight."
"..."
Shiina Mashiro stopped talking!
The two continued eating in silence. Just as they were about to finish... a transparent butterfly that ordinary people could not see flew over to Rita, making her pause slightly.
A few seconds later, a glint of interest flashed through Rita's eyes. She had found that uncle from before...
That meant the imprisoned girl would be found soon as well.
After receiving the news, Rita's appetite improved. She quickly finished her food, then took a few sips of her drink.
After the meal, Rita took Shiina Mashiro's hand and prepared to leave. As they stepped out of the maid café... Chidori happened to wave at them with a smile.
Rita returned the gesture and calmly left the shop.
Just as Rita stepped outside, a somewhat familiar figure brushed past Rita and Shiina Mashiro.
Watching the girl's back as she passed by, dressed in some unknown cosplay outfit and cosplaying some unknown character, Rita felt that she had seen her somewhere before.
But she couldn't remember where.
She didn't think much of it. Next... she should send Shiina Mashiro home first, then go find that uncle and complete the mission.
Side Mission triggered~
After taking a few steps, Ai-chan's voice suddenly rang out again, and it wasn't a special event trigger this time.
