<p>The next day, noon, Seika HS, ???.<br/><br/>In a space between the school main building and the tennis court, three guys in Seika uniform were chatting with nobody around. They were the 'Moron Triowho were complaining about their poverty.<br/><br/>"Shiroyan, how much do you have now?" (Ryūnosuke)<br/><br/>"Like yesterday, My mother will give my allowance this Thursday, sigh." (Naoya)<br/><br/>"Me too..." (Ryūnosuke)<br/><br/>"We can't go today either..." (Ikuto)<br/><br/>"Guys, you really look pathetic now." (???)<br/><br/>"Ahh-, oh Tadao-san, don't rub salt in the wound. We're enough sad." (Naoya)<br/><br/>A voice came from the half open window behind them of the school main building. It was Tadao watching the show with his arms laid on the edge of the window. He was going to the school cafeteria, but he saw a depressive scene on the way.<br/><br/>"Mmmh, if you want, I can introduce two jobs that suit you. One is work as a web artist. For that, Sarashina draw, Kurosaki give him his opinion as pervert, and Shirokawa can handle the viewers comments. The second one is about manage a forum for otaku like you, a sort of moderator job. I can recommend you to some sites but it'll depend on your performances." (Tadao)<br/><br/>""Eh, Ikkun can draw?!"" (Naoya, Ryūnosuke)<br/><br/>"Erm..." (Ikuto)<br/><br/>"He became a closet otaku time ago before you met him. He has some quite good skills." (Tadao)<br/><br/>"How do you know it?" (Ikuto)<br/><br/>"I saw you at FuyuComi of 3 years ago and I took a look on your notebook." (Tadao)<br/><br/>"..." (Ikuto)<br/><br/>The guy shrunk back as if he was facing his worst nightmare. Considering there was a rumor about Tadao being in a relationship with Takumi, the poor guy was scared of losing his other virginity.<br/><br/>"...That's all too suddenly. We have to discuss before we can give an answer." (Naoya)<br/><br/>"You don't have to rush. You know where you can find me, bye." (Tadao)<br/><br/>Before he could even reply, Tadao went away and disappeared behind a corner. Today he didn't have time to make his own lunchbox, so he didn't have choice but buy one.<br/><br/> ***<br/><br/>After school, Seika HS, courtyard, behind some tree.<br/><br/>Tadao was holding a paper with some words and a time and write on it and before him, there was a shy girl who was hesitating to say something. Right! A girl wanted confess to Tadao! To be exact, the girl was Asuka Hoshino, one fo the three female students of class 2-2. By the way, Tadao could see the others girl of his class hide behind some bushes.<br/><br/>"So, why did you asked me to come here? (Tadao)<br/><br/>"Erm..." (Asuka)<br/><br/>"Come on, just do it." Whispered Miyako from behind the bushes. She had seen many girls confess to Takumi last year, and she knew her friend need a little push to confess. Obviously, she has been heard by Tadao.<br/><br/>"Erm... Tadao-kun, you has been always reliable and friendly since I met you. Even during School Festival, you're seemed always calm behind your emotive expression and you looked like you had everything under control, and....mmh, your dishes are really delicious! Tadao Usui! I like you! Please go out with me!" Confessed Asuka who has bowed a little with her clenched hand laid on her chest while brushing more than before.<br/><br/>She started address him with 'kun' since the School Festival. She also chatting more often with Tadao and some time she would ask him for help her homework since the start of this year. Tadao had already noticed her intentions but he let it take its course. Finally, now he was forced to give an answer to her.<br/><br/>"Hoshino, I like proactive girls like you. You has been like a flower with your friends in our class full of idiots." (Tadao)<br/><br/>"Then..." (Asuka)<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, I can't accept your feellings." Bowed Tadao while he answered her. Hearing his answer, tears come out from Asuka's eyes. However, she wiped away her tears and, with a resolute look, she asked calmly. "Why?"<br/><br/>"I planned to not date anyone until I graduate. Furthermore, I already love another person. I decided to propose her right after I'll graduate, so I can't accept your feelings." (Tadao)<br/><br/>Saying that, Tadao turned himself and walked away towards the gate. However, after he took few steps...<br/><br/>"... I'm not giving up! I'm going to make you fall in love with me!" (Asuka)<br/><br/>"As you like." Said Tadao without turn behind his head while raising his right hand like to say 'farewell'.<br/><br/> ***<br/><br/>Night, near town, ???.<br/><br/>Tadao was wandering around the districts where was Maid Latte like he was waiting something. In that moment, he took out his phone and tipped on an app on it. Then, the screen started show 4 images, or rather 4 videos at once. Those videos were showing the actual status of Maid Latte. He installed some microcameras in the local yesterday for the occasion. He saw that the lights in the local suddenly turn off and some figures come from the kitchen. Seeing that, he closed that app and made a call anonymously.<br/><br/>"Moshi Moshi, keisatsu desu ka?" Said Tadao while he started walking to a certain buildings.<br/><br/> ***<br/><br/>About 10 minutes later, on the avenue before a certain building.<br/><br/>Satsuki just came out from the building where was held the district meeting. She was wearing a blue suit-like and a white shirt below and holding a white purse. She was a bit worn out, but still lively. She went towards her local with 'relief'.<br/><br/>"Sigh, I really wish they could make it faster..." (Satsuki)<br/><br/>On the way, she saw Tadao walking slowly in the same direction before her. She greeted him, They talked about the reasons to be out at that late time. Then, he 'decided' to accompany her since he was going to Maid Latte, too.<br/><br/>After 15 minutes of chatting, they arrived to their destination. During all the way over here, infinite flower sprang out from Satsuki every moment. When they were still out of that alley, they saw some police cars went away. They entered in that alley and saw Misaki together with Takumi.<br/><br/>"Misa-chan. Sorry, I'm late." Said Satsuki with her cheerful smile while she get closer to them. She didn't recognized Takumi because of the darkness in the alley. Meanwhile, both Takumi and Misaki noticed a smiling Tadao behind her and reacted showing wry expressions.<br/><br/>"Ah, so you were with her, Usui-kun." (Satsuki)<br/><br/>"Manager, welcome back. Um..." (Misaki)<br/><br/>"Weren't you two looking into each other's eyes? Sorry, I bothered you. I should take more time with Tadao-san. I'm so inconsiderate." (Satsuki)<br/><br/>"It's not like that, manager." Said Misaki while she was blushing.<br/><br/>"Mmh. manager, why is Tadao with you?" (Takumi)<br/><br/>"Oh well, Tadao-san was-." (Satsuki)<br/><br/>In that moment, she felt a hand laid on her shoulder. It was Tadao who wanted gain her attention. Then he said something while pointing with his finger towards the first floor of Maid Latte.<br/><br/>"Manager, look up." (Tadao)<br/><br/>"What is it, Tadao-san? Look up?" (Satsuki)<br/><br/>Then, she turns her view where was pointed by Tadao. She saw a broken window on the 1st floor of her local.<br/><br/>"Ohhhhh. What happened?" Said Satsuki while showing a blank stare. She was too shocked to be surprised while her face became more paler.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry." (Takumi)<br/><br/>"You see-." (Misaki)<br/><br/>Before Misaki could explain the situation, Satsuki collapsed while her soul was just to leave her body. Fortunately, Tadao, who was behind her, putted an arm behind her to support her before she could hit the ground.<br/><br/>"Manager!" (Misaki)<br/><br/>After that, they could only bring Satsuki inside. After laid her on a chair, Tadao took out a dark green handmade sachet from a little sealed box. When Tadao opened it, a strong stink has unleashed making all the presents pinch their nose and get away. Satsuki, who was passed out, instantly woke up and pinched her nose. "The smell!"<br/><br/>"What is that?! And close it now!" (Misaki)<br/><br/>"These are only some piece of 'titan arum', a smelly plant. I bought some of them fro situation like this." Said Tadao while he put away his smelly 'weapon'.<br/><br/>After that, they tried to maintain awake Satsuki and explain what happened. Then, Tadao and Takumi left after the first one told to Satsuki that he already bought a new glass to replace the broken one and it'll arrive tomorrow. Then, Misaki left after changed her clothes since she was still wearing her maid uniform.<br/><br/> ***<br/><br/>???, ???, ???.<br/><br/>A phone rang in the darkness and its owner took the call.<br/><br/>"... bring them in the warehouse n°4, I will take care of them... For the moment you can rest... yes, farewell." Said that person before end the call.</p>
Hi, guys, over 1,4k words for you today. What do you think about this chapter? I made the confession a bit too cringe than expected. I wonder with who I should ship Tadao. Well, you know, I'm writing a fanfic based on a shoujo manga, I think you should guess her.
