Who the hell did Ion think he was? What gave that twerp with his split-ends and unevenly shaped nose the right to be here? To win Kiku-sama's attention? To look at her like she was some afterthought even though she was his superior? Everyone knew that she was the alpha female here and now there was this androgynous newcomer who couldn't decide if he wanted to be a girl or a boy.
Mei's eyes burned with the intensity of a thousand suns. Her maiden form stiffened with an impatient tapping of her foot as Ion played dumb and only smiled like an idiot at Kiku-sama. What did Kiku-sama see in this person? Did he think Ion was really prettier than she was...? Had she, once again, lost Kiku's affection...?
Mei's lips quivered, water pooled in her eyes. How could Kiku do that to her...! First, there was that Yukiko-chan with her big forehead. Then, there was Sho-kun with his fat lips. And now, this Ion... who didn't even speak a word of English or Japanese... hoping to take over her rightful place at Kiku-sama's woman!? Ha! Over her dead body.
For now, she kept quiet, keeping her place next to Kiku. Just wait, just wait and see... She was going to make Ion's life as a cafe maid a living hell.
Kiku smiled, oblivious to Mei's plight (and subsequent plans to become his woman/ruin Ion's life). He was focused more on getting Ion's training fully underway so the next few weeks would run a bit smoother.
"Let's see," he began patiently. "It seems your uniform fits rather well...as does your makeup. That is a good start. Have you learned anything about waiting the tables yet?" After a pause and another blank look, Kiku changed tactics.
"I suppose the best way to learn would be to observe a bit, right? While nobody's here, we can do a few quiet test runs. Mei-chan, would you mind giving a model? I'll be the customer, and Ion-chan, watch carefully. It will be your turn next."
