School Festival~

As soon I woke up this early Saturday morning, I looked out the window to check the weather.

"The sky is clear, awesome!" It looked like luck was on my side, which meant I could enjoy the festivities to the fullest. I prepared my maid outfit, concluding it was much easier to arrive in this getup than hassling around with an additional set of clothes. I still needed to pack the performance clothes and guitar it seemed like enough goods to carry around.

So once fulfilling breakfast was consumed and I packed the kissing booth contraption into dad's car, I was escorted right under the school's entrance.

"Are you sure you don't need help with carrying all this around?" I shook my head, although the booth was the most difficult thing to carry around because of its funky size, on the contrary, it was fairly light.

"Don't worry about it, I'm strong dad, I already accumulated 73 points in strength." He nodded, promised me he would arrive later in the day, because the gates weren't yet open for the guests, and so he drove off.

I walked inside the school and was shocked to find out Kisaki came there before me, wasn't he all grumpy with helping with the preparations, what caused his change of heart?

"Sup," I said after dragging my contraption to one of the far corners of the classrooms, right where our seats were supposed to be. Most of the preparations for the maid cafe were indeed complete.

"What the hell is this?" Kisaki asked as he pointed at the kissing booths banner I so painstakingly made myself, by carving some letters into the wood.

"Don't you see? Are you finally losing your brain cells that are eating away at your reading comprehension?" He seemed to become even more agitated at my words, and suddenly Mr.Nomura appeared giving me a thumbs up, I guess from his point of view Kisaki's anger indicated jealousy right from the get-go.

"So what are you doing here? I thought you didn't care about this festival at all." He just groaned after admitting.

"I was forced into being the accountant for this maid cafe of yours." I guess since we didn't have a real cash register, Kisaki's brain would be used as one.

"Well since I'm not really participating in it... it's not really mine. But yeah I did give the suggestion first." He seemed quite confused.

"What about that maid dress of yours then? What is it for?"

"Disguise, every time another teacher that isn't Mr.Nomura comes by I will just tell them the kissing booth is just a simple decoration, like a break station for maids to sit on." Kisaki's eye twitched.

"Are our classmates bullying you again? Why don't you just beat them up outside school?" He was worried about me? Suddenly I was touched, even if his methods were totally wrong.

"Violence isn't the only way that you can make people submit to you," I mentioned and smiled suspiciously. He left the conversation at that, so I went to the club room to put away my costume and guitar since the performance we planned would be during the afternoon.

Once the festival began and everything went into motion I just put up the prices for everything, but when one of the pesky teachers came lurking around I hid it from sight. For some time no one was coming, of course, I was solely confident in luring delinquents into my booth.

Yet the first people to arrive were the twins.

"Michi what is this?" Nahoya asked as I pointed at the banner.

"I as a delinquent maid rather than working with the other ungrateful maids is selling other services? Are you interested?"

"This is not a joke, is this for real?" Nahoya asked as Souya just stood there with his mouth wide open.

"Yep as real as it can be, and you can be the first customer, how does that sound?" The peachy guy quickly turned to his brother.

"This is your chance brother!" And so he slammed some bucks onto the counter.

"You want just a simple touch of the lips or a whole make-out session?" Was he really gonna be so obnoxious, it seemed like the other maids couldn't believe his eagerness to push his brother onto me.

"I'm not sure," Souya replied, his face all red, him trying to cover the fact with his hands.

"Don't worry I got your back, whole make-out session... but like in private... you know how shy he is about those things." I then pointed at the additional charge.

"Come on, how about a first-customer discount? Do it for him?" Smiley mentioned, was he planning to save money.

"Nope." But then I moved my finger to ask him to come closer.

"But for friendship's sake, I can give Souya money out of my own pocket so you two can buy snacks later." He grinned and accepted the deal.

"Go on, I will be waiting." He started to push his twin out of the classroom, as I caught his hand and guided him to the club room, watching as the halls started to flood with people.

"So I guess your guys' shift is later in the day?" I asked as he nodded his head cutely.

"What are you going to dress up as?" was my next question.

"I will be a mummy and my brother is going to dress as a zombie." For some reason, I wouldn't mind getting jumped by such a cute mummy.

"I will try to come by later." Soon we reached our destination and I let him inside, and once I closed the door he seemed really fidgety.

"Are you really okay with it?" Selling kisses to strangers? Not really, but I had to do it thanks to the system. However, on the other end, did it really matter? I could just have fun with it, and treat it as some kind of kissing practice simulation.

"Who could say no to such a cutie."

"Then how about thinking seriously about my confession?" I guess he wanted a proper answer from me on that matter.

"Sorry Souya..." He sighed sadly.

"For now the only description I have for you is the cutest boy in the world... but but there is a problem. You know how much I like teasing people, so I have a concern, what if you just explode from all my bullying, what will I do then? You don't deserve to be corrupted by my chaos ass."

"I think you formed a strange image of me in your head Michi," Souya mentioned as I pondered about his words, yes I must have thought of him as a pure cinnamon roll that could do no wrong in this world, putting this cutie on some kind of pedestal. Creating some unreal expectations, and what if he made a mistake? I would probably be just utterly devastated.

"You're right..." It was kind of toxic in a sense.

"We got off the track, so the kiss where... you want to sit on my lap?" He actually did after I sat on the sofa, taking me by surprise, by just going for the kiss. It was gentle, and totally to my liking.

After I gave him some of my money for Smiley's snack budget we returned back.

"That took you some time... but how was it?" Souya didn't answer Nahoya's question so I decided to intercept this conversation.

"Awesome...I was taught something new." Causing Souya to run away, so I sat back at the booth once again.

"But you know I don't think you will have that many customers." Why did he seem so sure about that?

"Did you forget about my ability to attract delinquents... beside here is another one." I pointed in the entrance's direction, as Ran was coming closer, a wide smirk spreading across his face, once he saw me and the banner resting over my head.

"Well, well, well who do we have here~" Smiley looked around to see who I had in mind.

"Before you purchase my services... lemme ask you one thing." He nodded his head while I continued.

"What are you even doing here? I never invited you." So he began explaining.

"Emma invited our boss over, and because we happened to be there at the scene we also were invited... together with the whole harem." For real?

"So lemme see... I will take everything." Even Peachy was shocked about how much money this guy wanted to spend on me.

"Do you think this is some all-you-can-eat buffet?" He just chuckled and responded with.

"That wouldn't be such a bad idea?" He sent me a wink and then turned to his brother.

"Rindou, what do you want?" Wait he would make his brother also purchase something?

"Ummm... what's with the special request section?" He questioned.

"Customer gives me a suggestion in private and I will deduce if I will follow thru with it." He seemed really mulling over it, but it seemed like Ran's patience have ran out.

"Let's go first, he can have fun later."

"Okay, I'm coming, I'm coming." Why was he so impatient?

After we made our way to the room, I asked him.

"So what's your special request, what could you possibly want?" He suddenly pointed at my shoulder.

"May I?" I guess since he decided to throw so much money, I guess.

"Or, actually I have a better idea, you will do all the work." So he basically wanted me to initiate all of the kisses?

"I mean if that's what you want."

"And I thought you would shy away and ask me to take action instead." I rolled my eyes and began. One kiss on his hand, one kiss on the forehead, two on each cheek, and then one peck on the lips.

I saw some mischievous twinkle in his eyes and just went for the make-out session to keep him quiet so he wouldn't have any opportunities to tease me.

"Ohh~ I see you learned something from me~" I was about to give him a quick peek on the shoulder but he came with a ridiculous demand.

"Gimme a hickey." I whipped out my phone as he tilted his head to the side.

"What are you doing?"

"Checking some pointers on the internet of course," I answered bluntly.

"You're so innocent... so cute~" I had a feeling he no longer believed I was an angel in any shape or form, but not like I would outright ask him about it.

I couldn't believe that once we returned this guy was showing off the hickey to his brother, thankfully Smiley didn't stay around to witness this.

"Stop fooling around." It seemed like this weirdo decided it would be a brilliant idea to show it to Izana.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Rindou decided to just settle for a forehead kiss, unlike his brother. It took roughly ten minutes for Izana and his crew to arrive.

"Pay for me and Kakucho," Izana said to Ran, who strangely enough decided to proceed with the request.

"I'm not too sure about this," Kakucho said as Shion emerged as well.

"I want some action too!" He actually had money to cover for himself.

"Wow, even more people to add to my kissing tier list," I mentioned sarcastically, but Ran seemed to be intrigued.

"So what's my ranking?"

"B-rank."

"Ohh~ and what do you think your kissing rank is?"

"I have no idea, lemme just ask this one specific individual." I then yelled across the room.

"Tetta how high would you rank my kissing from F to S?" He just stood there taken aback by my question, realizing I just announced to the whole classroom we did indeed kiss.

"Nah I don't think I am getting an answer." Despite Kisaki's initial astonishment we actually did manage to get a reply.

"A-tier." Wait, was this guy for real? And then he just returned to help the customers of the maid cafe like this never transpired.

"You heard him." I shrugged my shoulders, but Kakucho just furrowed his brows. I could already tell by his facial expression he didn't approve of the guy in the slightest.

So we settled with the payment and even Mocchi turned up. Were they gonna tell me they came as a package? Additionally, the Haitani brothers tagged along and Ran spent some extra money on himself.

"Are coming along for part two?" I asked him as he nodded, was he planning on returning during the afternoon as well?

"So who wants to start?" It looked like every single one of them let Izana go first, he just smiled and picked me up and soon enough my back pressed against the wall. Someone decided to not waste time.

But then we heard whistling coming from the other guys in the room. Was he really gonna kiss in those conditions? It seemed like the answer was yes since he didn't seem too bothered about the commotion. He went in brave but after finishing he was nothing but a shy boy.

"Next!" Ran yelled, he seriously was not gonna let me catch my breath? Izana just decided to drop me on top of Kakucho.

"I'm not too sure about this." Of course, he would be hesitant, but I didn't have time to voice my opinion on this matter, because Ran decided to butt in.

"Don't worry she likes the attention, why else do you think she made this booth for?" Could I just smack him? Kakucho's kiss lasted shorter than anyone's else, but after the fact, I just wanted to sit in his lap pinching his cheeks and whatnot. But my teasing didn't last long because someone's arms got wrapped around me and the next moment I was unexpectedly sitting on the table.

"My turn~" We are in for a treat girl. I told myself in my mind, sarcastically. I didn't expect this guy to be anything but rough, but strangely he asked for my hand.

"Come on take it." I did as he just interlocked our hands together and his other hand was on my back and then he decided to whisper into my ear.

"I have you where I wanted to." And then he went in for the kiss. I wasn't sure whether I liked it or was feeling like my whole mouth was somehow violated. My eyes were getting watery and as I was about to kick him off, having enough, it finally ended.

"How was it?" I looked at him while admitting.

"Your pretty face is your only redeemable quality right now that stops me from messing you up." Thankfully Mocchi just wanted a simple kiss, but I proceeded with it after going to the toilet to freshen up a little. Ran's second kiss felt like a desperate attempt to upgrade his kissing tier.

"We will come back." They assured me while I silently whispered.

"Please don't."

The next person that popped up was Emma, with Draken and Mikey. Emma looked at the banner and was quick to ask for three forehead kisses.

"You don't expect me to agree with this do you?" Draken questioned as Emma decided to sulk.

"Don't worry I can take two," Mikey announced and came closer as I proceeded to give him a forehead kiss, but then got one in return, Emma asked for a forehead kiss as well, despite Draken's annoyance at the matter.

"Did anyone even purchase the make-out option?" The beanpole decided to ask, I just looked down.

"That's the most popular one, despite its higher price point." He was taken aback, but Mikey had other concerns.

"How about dad? Did he come by?" I was shocked he was expecting Ran to be here.

"He didn't shy away from spending money, asked for every single thing I had to offer." Emma just blushed at the mention of it.

"Michi... you're so bold." Says the person that attempted something more ridiculous in the manga.

"But I wasn't expecting Kisaki to be here," Draken noted, was he perhaps doubting my words from before?

"I will let other girls know you're here." It seemed Emma wanted the other girls to spend their money here as well, but then Draken hurried away hastily somewhere dragging Mikey along. I was perplexed by his behavior at first but realized what was going on when Hanma, Keisuke, my brother, and Jun walked thru the door. No not the giraffe. They came forward to my booth.

"I told you she had a kissing booth but you didn't believe me," Kazutora spoke to the bewildered Keisuke, as Jun was sending me a lot of suspicious smirks like he was awaiting something fun to happen.

"As your number one supporter, I will pay for this endeavor. Let's get everything on the list." As this was happening I could see Hanma suspiciously extorting money from Kisaki's pocket when no one was watching.

"Here you go sister, have fun~," Kazutora said, pushing us two away from the scene.

"He's quite dedicated isn't he?" I remarked as Keisuke looked like his soul left his body as I was guiding him to the private room.

"Wait is this really happening? I'm not prepared." But soon it dawned on me, I could totally tease him for it, did most of the experience today make me bolder? Perhaps.

So I pushed Keisuke to the sofa.

"One kiss for my pretty boy, and second and third." It was fun watching someone that liked to act cool and tough, melting away by so little.

"Weren't you just recently demanding an explanation about me kissing you, what is this development?" I conveyed the first thing that came to mind.

"Gotta stick to the role I was given." I stuck out my tongue at him.

"That's the only reason?" He asked as I replied while playing with my hair.

"I mean I do like messing with you so, there could be something to it."

"You're saying this only to tease me right?" I didn't answer just went for the make-out session he paid for.

"So last thing, what is your special request? Any hidden gem places that desire a kiss?" I asked as, unlike Ran he wanted to give me a hickey instead.

"Please~" I, what? My brain logged out at the moment.

'Would you rather agree or give him a hickey instead?' Venus was striking again.

"Okay, but no one is allowed to know about it, do you understand? If I hear Tora talking about it, I will come for your head."

When we were finished we walked back only for this fool to keep babbling.

"I heard you-" I put my hand on his mouth to shut him up, realizing that Hanma would most likely want to go next and it was time for lunch I decided to escape.

"Let's go eat something together!" I said to Kazutora and put up the closed sign and ran out with him and Keisuke, Jun following us behind.

"Was that your strategic retreat?" Jun asked once we were far enough from the scene.

"I hope he will be gone once I return, but I have my doubts." But taking a break from sitting there was nice.

Once I had some snacks from the onigiri stand and returned back to my post, Shuji Hanma was still there.

"You have the nerve to make me wait."

"Oh, you were waiting so long? I thought you would get tired after some time and disappear."

"Nope but I managed to get enough funds from Kisaki for three sessions, you see he wanted me to bully you a little." Talk about petty.

"Listen we can totally talk it out." I began but was quickly picked up, it seemed like Kisaki already gave him details on where the private room was.

"Nah, I will make sure you upgrade my tier to something better than C." Wait there was no need to be afraid, I could always end the kiss earlier and count it as one session, right?

Nah wrong, this dude decided that the best position was just laying on the sofa on top of me while kissing so there was no space to pull away.

"Fine, I will put you on B-tier." It looked like he wanted to protest.

"I still want the S-tier." Only Yuzuha or maybe Souya was allowed such glory. Denied.

I managed to slip away and chased him out of the club room.

Next, I had the opportunity to see once again some normal customers. Yuzuha, Senju, Hinata, Chifuyu, and Takemichi emerged.

"So tell me, did Keisuke come around?" Chifuyu asked looking all excited, I guess even if his bestie was away fooling in another gang, he was still rooting him in his love life endeavors.

"What was his purchase."

"My brother asked for every single thing I had to offer and paid in his stead." Chifuyu suddenly squealed like a fangirl, so I asked Senju for some backup.

"I shall have one kiss on the hand," Senju mentioned and Yuzuha thought it was humorous so she asked for the same thing.

"Anything for my beautiful girls." They just laughed at my quick reaction as I stood up and planted kisses on their hands while kneeling, even before they managed to complete the payment.

"Such quick service." They joked and handed me the money, them knowing full well what I needed it for.

"Yes my favorite customers, please come again." I sent them flying kisses. Yet once they left another person I didn't predict would appear here, came thru the door.

"Ah yes, finally found you," Taiju mentioned as I just stared at him in wonder, how did he even get to hear about this festival in the first place?

"Ohhh interesting," Koko said that was tailing behind his boss.

"Just make sure you won't spend too much money on this boss." Taiju didn't seem to like having Kokonut telling him what to do.

"Let's go, you can charge me after I had my fun." Would this guy actually spend more than Ran?

As soon as I passed thru the door a mission came out.

'Would you rather tell Taiju Shiba you want to have fun with him for 2 hours straight or say something embarrassing?' Wow I felt bullied by the system, but what was I supposed to tell him?

"Um... Ummm... please hold me up with those bulky arms of yours." Okay, I voiced it and wanted to die on the spot. However, I heard Taiju chuckle and was lifted up effortlessly in the air.

"Any other requests?" He asked, but I shook my head as he initiated the kisses, but after this was another and another.

"You know that will be really expensive..." Maybe I should have charged him in advance.

"Don't worry about it." He said, but once we came back Koko saw the calculations I performed and gave him the end estimate, he was frozen in place witnessing the number.

"And you allowed him to?" I didn't want to be accused of bad service.

"How about a discount?" I decided to mess with him.

"Oh... maybe if I get a kiss from your boy Inui I can think about it." I just wanted to see, what would be more important to him.

"How about a kiss from me instead?" Was he really trying to use that as a barging chip in front of Taiju?

"Sure." I just wanted to witness if he could follow thru on it. He actually did, and took some bucks from the pile and ran away escaping Taiju's wrath.

"Mad lad." Was my only comment about his behavior. There were other customers after that, but at a certain point, I had to leave my stand behind, to follow thru with my promise. When I went to the twins' classroom for the haunted house experience, it felt like I was targeted by Smiley, who wanted to make it his life mission to scare me.

"Ah shit you got me this time, but mark my words vengeance will be mine." I was ready to put him thru a deliberate prank to make him suffer.

After this, it was time to prepare with the girls to go on stage, but Emma had to be really observant, so she elbowed me and asked.

"So which guy did you allow to leave that mark on you?"

"Someone that is one foot inside their grave." I guess she took it as I was ready to personally kill them and get rid of their body afterward.

"I will not inquire further details." So when we walked up the stage, I felt dread inside my bones. Because all I could feel before was only excitement, my fear of public speech must have been sitting forgotten in the back of my mind.

"Are you girls ready?" Yuzuha asked as I decided to hold Emma's hand for the moment to replenish my mental energy. That's when I spotted the guys that kidnapped me before in the audience. They actually held their promise and came to see our performance.

Suddenly it felt like I got an adrenaline kick, and got even more excited when I spotted my parents in the crowd. It was time to give the audience what they wanted, a total bop.

I felt like nothing was holding me back anymore and after Senju yelled.

"1, 2, 3, 4." We began singing our song, Emma taking the lead on the first verse.

And what was our song about? Simple, telling our first love that he can't escape our grasp, no matter how fast he runs. And whose idea it was? Mine.

The song was a success the audience loved it and once we walked off the stage as it was prepared for the next group, I received my 8 points for completing this mission.

And yes in the end I won the bet with my class as well and made them kneel before me in apology at the end of the day getting another bonus stat, this being possible by my sponsors, Ran, Taiju, Kazutora, and Kisaki that paid for Hanma.
