Harmony of Dishonest Girls

W-welcome-ow! I'm R-Rita, meow!

This is going to be hard to fix...

I think this maid is the most incompetent maid since Elizabeth.

Morgana...!

But why are you trying to forcefully change your personality?

There are probably customers who actually like that.

Ethan... You like this type of...?

Ethan just likes all women.

Hmph, don't talk like you know anything!

I didn't come to YOU for an advice!

(Such a waste...)

And my customers are... not weirdos!

Everyone likes kind and gentle maids like Enya!

...

Who is kind and gentle...?

Ethan! Stop...!

But why do you work so hard?

It's just a job anyway, you could just take the money and be done with it.

...

You bastard... How dare you steal my wallet!

Why is this yours? You stole it from someone else, too!

Enough with the yapping... Just die!

(So, this is the end of me...)

(I'm sorry... Kay.)

Hey, cuties!

I wouldn't mess with our employees if I were you.

Would you mind just walking away?

What the... it's just a maid.

Go do your job and serve others, maid!

...

Looks like you cuties are hopeless.

Augh...?!

Gahhh-!!!

Hey, cute miss. I hope you aren't hurt?

You are...

Haha, you seem like you've seen better days.

...!

It's pretty good, right?

It is...

I have these delicious candies piled up like a mountain at my place...

Do you want to come with me?

Enya saved me after I ran away from home.

And the innkeeper took me in even though I looked fishy.

I want to stay at this cafe.

And I want the customers to be... happy when I'm there.

S-so cute!

I-I think you're doing just fine!

N-no! I need to be more straightforward!

So please help me! I need to become different!

B-but... I'm really not the person to ask...

(Ha... If you look at me with that kind of face, I kinda have to help...)

Elizabeth, the next place we have to go is Cornwall, right?

Yes.

Princess Isolde invited us because she wants to repay us for the last war.

Nice. Let's take Rita with us.

Rita? With us?

What are you up to, Ethan?

Lua is in Cornwall.

She's probably the most straightforward person we've met.

Let's ask her about this and see if she has anything to say.

Y-you're right, if it's Lady Lua...

That's a great idea, Ethan!

Why are you deciding things on your own again! If more people come, it'll be harder for me!

This is a win-win for us, Morgana.

What?

If we solve this problem, we will become the saviors of the maid cafe.

Meaning there may be some free frappes and cakes on the house.

...

What are we waiting for?

At least act like you gave it a thought...

Long time no see, Swordbringer.

Why are you in this remote alley instead of the castle?

I'm... looking for a cat...

Haha, you haven't changed a bit...

Why have you come looking for me?

That's... a concern...?

Just say what you have to say.

Most people tend to hold things in... when it's something too embarrassing to talk about.

For example...?

Like one's three sizes?

Morgana!

I don't know what that means but... I won't lose.

...

W-what are you looking at, you perv!

I was just standing still since I didn't know how to react!

Ethan...

Anything else besides that...?

Hmm...

Humm... how about love stories?

Love story...? I still don't understand.

Because...

I like the Swordbringer.

...

What?

What??!!?!???!

L-lady Lua likes Eethaan...?!

You have quite unique tastes. To think you like this perverted pig with muscles for brains.

H-how can you say such a thing with a straight face...!

Lua, you... just when did you...

And my teacher... and my cat too.

...

I'm on the same level as a cat?!

Ah, so that's what she meant!

Hahaha... Well, the definition of love is different for everyone!

Don't tell me you were actually expecting something, Ethan? There's no way the Sword of Cornwall would like a pig like you.

I... I don't know.

Why this is embarrassing... and why you're surprised.

But if you want to be straightforward... I know how.

How...?!

My teacher said... that only when facing a great crisis can one truly... confront their inner self.

In other words, you can become more straightforward by fighting strong enemies.

Man, that's some brutal advice.

And that doesn't sound like the right kind of advice for this!

It sounds like a good method.

Elizabeth?!

Do you remember the day when you collapsed in the Cave of Trials?

That was the first time I had cried like that since my father passed away.

If Rita also continues to express her emotions through combat...

She will become the best maid ever!

You actually mean that...?

If you think so... I'll try it!

Me too!

Let's go! I want that frappe now!

Ha... Sure... Whatever...

It's a Minotaur!

Is this really the right method...?

Facing real danger for something so trivial... Humans are truly foolish.

If it's for my customers... This is nothing I can't overcome!

Everyone... Let's go.

Was the Minotaur this weak...?

The Sword of Cornwall is really something...

Swordbringer, still weak.

You need... more training to become stronger.

Are you sure it's not you who's extremely strong...?

(There was nothing I could do... while everyone else was doing their part...)

(It's exactly like when Enya saved me.)

(I'm just as weak as I was before...)

Looks like I can't change...

Elizabeth... Maybe I'm not fit to be a maid...

No, Rita! You're already charming as you are!

Why... are you trying to change yourself?

What? W-well... I'm sure no one likes my personality...

There's no need to... forcibly change yourself.

There's always someone you can lean on... like the Swordbringer.

Aren't your customers... that kind of people?

...!

I see...

I was the one... that didn't trust in my customers.

Looks like she finally realized it.

The customers will surely like you just the way you are.

So let's go back quickly. This isn't where you should be.

Hmph... I knew that all along!

But still...

T-thank you for helping me-ow...

I-I didn't do much anyways...!

Meow...? Do you like cats too, Rita?

Ah, no. I mean, I do but this is a bit different...

I like cats too. Do you want to go searching with me?

N-no! It's not like that!!

Hmph, so you're back.

Did you really think I meant "Come visit again?"

Sorry! But I'm not interested in you at all.

What? You thought I was waiting for you?

No way!

Cut the nonsense and order something!
