New Quest

Haru had placed the job offer on both the internet and a notification in front of his store. He only needed one employee since he could do the other thing by himself.

After that, he stayed at his store to make a robot to clean the dishes and the house. He thought it would be convenient to have a robot to do it. He wasn't sure how smart Tony Stark was since he had never seen him, but frankly, he could match Tony Stark if he put in his effort, probably.

Haru made the robot in his cafe since it would be troublesome if he made it to the apartment since he needed to bring it to his cafe, if he did that.

*Tinkle!* *Tinkle!*

Haru looked up and was surprised.

"Yuri? What are you doing here?"

Yuri looked at him and was surprised to see him tinkering with a machine. "What are you doing?"

"I'm making a robot to clean dishes and cleaning, you should sit down, do you want a coffee or tea?" Haru stood up from his seat and prepared something for Yuri.

"You don't need to do that, but I have to admit that it's pretty amazing that this house has changed so much..." Yuri still remembered how bad this house was, but suddenly it had turned into something amazing.

"It's pretty nice, right?" Haru smiled and asked, "You're fine with a coffee?"

Yuri nodded and said, "I'm fine, but I want sugar."

"Sure."

Haru prepared a coffee for Yuri. The process was quite short and after it was done, he brought the coffee to her. He looked at her curiously and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yuri didn't answer Haru's question for a while. She took the sugar, put it on her coffee, then stirred it for a while. She sipped and nodded since it tasted very good. She looked at him and said, "Let me live here."

Haru was stunned and it took him quite a while to wake up. He looked at her for a bit and asked, "Why?"

Yuri looked a bit hesitant but she started to tell him that she was fighting with her parents. She told her parents that she would live alone from now on.

Haru thought for a bit and said, "You shouldn't fight with your own parents."

Yuri shook her head and said, "You don't understand."

"I understand since I don't have a parent now," Haru said while looking at Yuri.

Yuri was stunned and wasn't sure how to respond. She looked down and knew that she had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize. I don't mind you staying in my place but you need your parent's permission to do that," Haru said, and added, "I also need a cute waitress for my cafe when it's open."

Yuri smiled brightly and said, "Sure, I can be your waitress."

"Deal, you can't back down now," Haru said with a smile.

"Somehow, I feel regret when I see your smile." Yuri sighed and asked, "Why kind of cafe is this?" She had to admit that the renovation was pretty nice, and she felt very comfy in this place. It also gave off the feeling that she was at European level for a moment.

"It's a maid cafe," Haru answered.

"....."

Yuri blinked her eyes and asked, "Sorry?"

"It's a maid cafe," Haru said.

Yuri sighed, but after a moment of ponder, she nodded and said, "Ok, I will do that. I will be your maid in this place." She didn't think too much since she wanted to live in this place.

"Good, but is it alright? You're in your 3rd year, right? Don't you have an exam in high school?" Haru asked.

"It's okay, I have a recommendation from my kendo," Yuri said and asked, "You're going to Shuchiin Academy, right?"

Haru nodded and asked, "Yes, I'm going there, are you also the same?"

Yuri nodded and said, "Of course, I'm also going to apply there."

"It's good that we see each other more often at that time," Haru said.

Yuri smiled sweetly and asked, "Are you trying to flirt with me?"

"I don't mean it that way, but you can interpret it that way. I'm just happy that I can be in the same school as you," Haru said while shrugging his shoulders.

Yuru smiled and asked, "Are you really that confident that you can enter that school?"

Haru nodded and said, "Of course." He thought for a bit and asked, "Why are you fighting with both of your parents?"

"Well..." Yuri started to tell him that it started with a small matter and it became complicated suddenly. She knew that she was wrong but she didn't want to admit it.

Haru thought that he had become a bartender on an old established bar that listened to the rambling of his customer. He had somehow become a listener for her, though he also gave her some advice from time to time.

Both of them talked for a while and they were also talking about a lot of things from family, friends, cafe, novel, kendo, and the robot that he was making right now.

In his robot, Haru didn't make an AI, but only simple programming since the action which needed to be done was pretty simple.

Yuri was looking at Haru quietly while enjoying jazz music in the cafe. She wasn't sure why but it was pretty nice looking at him.

While talking, Haru tinkered with his robot until his smartphone rang. He looked at his phone and felt surprised when it was from the group chat.

"Haru, what's wrong?" Yuri asked.

"No, it's just Sora is asking me for a cake when I'm going home," Haru said.

"Sora?" Yuri frowned after hearing this name since she thought Sora was his girlfriend.

"She is my sibling," Haru said.

Yuri sighed in relief when she heard it.

'One Piece, huh?'

Haru thought that this quest was quite hard, however, it was also very interesting at the same time.
