Putting away the contract, Jhin eagerly rubbed his hands together. He pulled a black and white maid outfit from his storage space and showed Gabriel a benevolent smile:
"Then let's start by having you change into the maid outfit."
"You-you guy!" Gabriel was so startled her voice cracked. Her petite body pressed tightly against the wall, her right hand fumbling for the handle of a nearby door:
"And you say this wasn't premeditated?! You even have a maid outfit ready."
"Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions toward you. This is just a hobby of mine."
Hearing this, Gabriel's expression twisted, her small hand fumbling even more frantically for the doorknob:
"You like to wear women's clothing?!"
"Calm down. Nymph occasionally wears a maid outfit at home too, but hers can change styles at will, so she has no use for this one."
"You're the one who needs to calm down! To think you'd covet your best friend's body, I really misjudged you!"
Gabriel couldn't find the doorknob after fumbling for a long time. She quickly turned her head to look behind her. There was no door at all; she had pressed herself against the wall leading to the kitchen, putting herself even farther from the exit!
Seeing Jhin approach step by step with the maid outfit, Gabriel was like a mouse being cornered by a large cat, scurrying back and forth. Worried she would hit a wall, Jhin subconsciously took two quick steps forward.
Those two steps were like the fuse that lit the powder keg, directly setting off Gabriel's panicked brain. In her desperation, she shouted, "Angel Kick!" and sent a flying kick toward the unprepared Jhin.
"What the hell!"
"Thud!"
Jhin's curse and the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor rang out at the same time.
"Ow, ow, ow…" Gabriel sat up, rubbing the back of her head. She looked around but couldn't find Jhin:
"Huh? Where's Jhin? Don't tell me I kicked him into the air?"
A warm sensation touched her toes, accompanied by a hot, humid stream of air. Gabriel looked down and then let out a shriek that could pierce eardrums.
"Ahhhh!!! Wh-wh-what are you doing with your nose on my toes?!"
Gabriel snatched her right foot back like a flash of lightning, her face beet red as she shrank into a corner. Her left slipper had also been kicked off, and feeling even more insecure, Gabriel had to tightly cover her two small, fair feet.
Jhin rubbed his nostrils, which felt like they had been forcibly expanded several times over, and said in a muffled voice:
"Don't you go making false accusations. If you hadn't suddenly pulled that 'Angel Kick,' would I have ended up with your toes stuffed up my nose?"
"Never mind that, are you hurt anywhere?"
Jhin was thankful that Gabriel hadn't given him a nosebleed, as that would have been even more awkward:
"Let me see if you're injured."
"Oh, okay." Seeing that Jhin's first concern wasn't for himself but for her, Gabriel stopped making a fuss and let Jhin touch her head.
"Hmm, it should be fine. Does this hurt?"
"No. What about you? You were under me, are you hurt?"
"I'm a guy, I won't get hurt that easily."
"The maid outfit…" Gabriel's voice was as quiet as a buzzing mosquito.
Jhin didn't hear her clearly:
"What?"
"I said the maid outfit!" Gabriel suddenly raised her voice, startling Jhin:
"Give it here! I'll wear it!"
Taking the maid outfit, Gabriel glared fiercely at Jhin and warned him:
"Let me be clear. If you peek while I'm changing, or if I find anything wrong with this maid outfit, you're dead!"
Jhin patted his chest with full confidence:
"Don't worry, none of what you said will happen."
This was one of a bunch of maid outfits his sister had bought online and given to him. How could there be anything wrong with it? His sister wouldn't try to harm him, would she?
"Then you go wait on the balcony first. You can only come in when I say so."
"Okay, I'll go to the balcony."
Jhin walked to the balcony in a few quick steps and pulled the sliding door shut.
Heh heh, Gabriel doesn't know the personal terminal can take pictures yet. As soon as she changes into the maid outfit, I'll go in and snap a few dozen photos.
Gabriel unzipped her red tracksuit and took it off, revealing a plain white short-sleeved shirt and pure white panties underneath. Because the shirt was two sizes too big when she bought it online, it was long enough to cover the tops of her thighs, so Gabriel just wore the red jacket over it at home. She only wore pants when going out or to school; it was simple and convenient.
Gabriel changed into the maid outfit and checked herself in the full-length mirror in the room for a while. After confirming there was nothing strange, she felt a little more at ease, then hesitantly glanced at the black bundle on the bed.
"These stockings… should I wear them?"
Recalling the embarrassing moment from just now, Gabriel decided it was better to wear the stockings. When she picked them up, she realized they weren't black silk stockings at all, but a balled-up pair of fishnets.
Thinking that fishnets were better than being barefoot, Gabriel grit her teeth, placed one foot on the edge of the bed, and slipped a fishnet stocking over her upturned, pristine little foot, pulling it up her calf to her thigh until it was fully on.
She released her fingers from the edge of the stocking, and the fishnet snapped against her thigh with a crisp sound.
"O-Okay, Jhin, you can come in now." Gabriel's slightly shy voice rang out. Hearing it, Jhin immediately pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.
The personal terminal's camera mode was already prepared, and he began snapping away at Maid Gabriel.
The maid outfit concealed some of Gabriel's slovenly aura, making her look like a slightly unfortunate blonde loli maid. The fishnet stockings wrapped around her slender, tender legs were the finishing touch. Paired with Gabriel's dead-fish eyes, she had the look of a bratty maid who was forced to obey your commands.
"Kazuki! You are the ancient Greek goddess of beautiful feet!"
Seeing Jhin just stand there silently, staring intently at her after coming in, Gabriel couldn't take it anymore and put on a fierce expression:
"You-you could at least say something!"
"Sorry, it suits you so well, I was a little stunned."
Jhin's directness left Gabriel at a loss. Now she couldn't scold him, but not scolding him felt wrong too.
No matter what, Jhin was praising her. She couldn't bring herself to curse him out unreasonably.
Gabriel could only squeeze out a sentence dryly:
"Is there anything else?"
"Hmm… could I trouble you to make me a cup of tea? The tea bags are in the cabinet above the kitchen counter."
Gabriel stood on her tiptoes but still couldn't reach the cabinet door:
"Jhin, get me a stool. I can't reach the cabinet."
"Okay!"
Gabriel took off her slippers, stepped onto the stool, and stood on her toes. She then looked back warily at Jhin. He was standing obediently at the kitchen entrance and hadn't come closer or squatted down to peek under her dress, so she relaxed and continued to get the tea.
Only Jhin himself knew that his personal terminal's camera was practically smoking from overuse.
This original-flavor ice cream with a chocolate drizzle also has its own unique charm.
