Book 7: Chapter 419: The Hidden Evil Behind The Unnaturally Bustling Maid Cafe

The Rose Society’s booth in their new territory, the Margarita Resort Plains, on the outskirts of Olsylvia City. The Rose Society’s maid cafe was so full of customers that it was practically bursting at the seams as all three floors were at maximum capacity. A long queue had formed outside the cafe as well. To ease any potential frustrations of the waiting female customers, the Rose Society had purposely gone to the expense of constructing a temporary pavilion as a place for them to rest.

Bella did not think that the business would be this booming. In fact, when she opened the cafe, she only expected to achieve the bare minimum. Little did she know that the female customers who had come to visit had filled up the tables on all three floors. The only exception was the basement, a restricted-level restaurant, which was not open to the general public. Only the core members of the Rose Society had access to this area.

Initially, Bella had planned to invite the Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil to join her for a meal on the third floor of the maid cafe. Bella had retained the original designs of the third floor, keeping it in the mid-century Western-style as they could enter without having to change their outfits. The cuisine served on the third floor was from the same time period as well, which was not too different from the food in this dimension. This meant that it would not take new visitors to this Other World much time to get used to it. 

However, the Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil decided that she would like to try the Chinese cuisine on the first floor. The mid-century Western-style restaurant on the third floor did not interest her at all and the Japanese and the Chinese restaurant on the second and first floors were much more enticing. 

She was especially interested in the Chinese restaurant on the first floor. There were oriental style Dragons on the ornaments. As Hetivil looked at the imposing image of the Eight Clawed Golden Dragon, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. In terms of size, oriental Dragons were quite different from western Dragons. However, the similarities in dragon horns were enough to confirm that those two species were related, as it would not be a stretch to claim that they could be distant relatives.

This was the main reason why the Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil eventually decided to dine at the Chinese restaurant on the first floor. Either way, she did not have to fork out a single cent as this meal was Bella’s treat, which meant that it did not matter where she ate at all. 

When Bella was designing all three floors of the maid cafe, she had secretly incorporated many erotic designs and ideas. The most decent was the Western-style restaurant on the third floor. However, to promote fitness and health among the diners, Bella did not include an elevator in her designs as the different floors could only be accessed by climbing the staircases. 

Not many customers were truly willing to climb all the way up to the third floor as the food was much cheaper than those on the first two floors. From the beginning, the third floor was specifically designed for commoners. Those who were more financially wealthy, such as the girls from noble families, did not care to climb too many flights of stairs. Furthermore, they generally preferred fresh food, so the restaurants on the first and second floor were their first choice. 

Throughout the entire maid cafe, the third floor was the only normal place, while the first and second floors were filled with all sorts of benefits. For the second floor, the basic requirement was for guests to be dressed in kimonos. However, when Bella was drafting the rules and regulations for entry to the restaurant, she had purposely mixed up the concept of a kimono and a bathrobe and had requested that the guests go commando underneath. 

None of the girls who visited the second floor thought that there was anything wrong with this request. Since everyone present was a girl, it did not matter if they were naked underneath the kimonos. However, there were problems with the kimonos that Bella provided. These specially made kimonos would turn completely transparent upon contact with sweat as the wearer would seem as though they were not wearing anything at all.  

For some reason, every order in the Japanese restaurant on the second floor would come with a small complimentary bottle of Japanese sake. Not knowing that it was a trap, the girls drank the sake without giving it a second thought. It did not take long for them to start sweating after drinking the special sake as their kimonos were soaked through, revealing every inch of their bodies to Bella.

Many female customers felt embarrassed and tried to cover up, but they eventually relaxed. The second floor also offered a classic Japanese erotic cuisine – the “Nude Feast.” The Rose Society had specifically employed girls from the neighboring Antoinette Academy as “special cutlery.” Bella had requested Princess Aslan, one of their student union vice-presidents, to recruit them.

With such a bold display in front of them, the female customers on the second floor happily accepted the environment. Some of them even felt that it was not exciting enough and decided to remove their kimonos and climbed up on the tables to experience it for themselves. Since everyone present was a girl, they could let loose and enjoy themselves without worrying about outsiders.

In comparison, the Chinese restaurant on the first floor was relatively tamer as there were no sensual “Nude Feasts” here. However, the customers on this floor were required to dress in outfits from the Tang Dynasty. The Han outfits were made of sheer chiffon that revealed the parts of the wearer’s chest and would turn any girl into a thing of beauty. Some customers had chosen to wear qipaos but quickly decided to change into the sexy Han outfits quickly. 

There was a lot more to the menu of the Chinese restaurant on the first floor than met the eye, this particular restaurant within the maid cafe specialized in the tongue-numbing, spicy cuisine of the Sichuan province. As the residents of this Other World did not have much exposure to spicy food, many of the female customers had beads of sweat running down their backs after a few mouthfuls. Although it was extremely delicious, the food was far too spicy for their tastes and caused them to break out in a sweat. 

By this point, those girls who were wearing qipaos realized that their outfits, although aesthetically pleasing, did not fare well when exposed to heat. It was more practical to wear the equally beautiful and much more comfortable Han outfits, which perfectly fit the oriental aesthetic. The best thing was that the Han outfits were made of light chiffon and silk, making it practically transparent and felt cool when worn. 

Thus, many of the girls chose to change back into Han outfits after trying on the qipaos. Since Bella was a fashion designer in her past life, she decided to design the undergarments that the girls wore under the Han outfits and qipaos. They were all designed in the typical oriental style of tube tops and silk bodices. As the Han outfits were made of transparent silk, those undergarments were fully exposed.

If the Japanese restaurant on the second floor was a nude performance, then the Chinese restaurant on the first floor was performing an oriental style underwear show. A changing room separated the entrance to the maid cafe from the various restaurants, and the windows were closed as well. This meant that the nosebleed inducing images inside were only for the girls’ enjoyment as no outsiders could catch a glimpse of what was happening inside.

The maids inside the maid cafe were all being played by members of the Rose Society. After all, this was a club activity as it would not seem right if they did not attend or participate. Most of them wore a set of black and white western maid outfits, while those with loli body types wore special maid outfits in a gothic loli style.

Other than their figure, the loli maids and the regular maids could also be differentiated by their undergarments and stockings. The lolis were all issued white thigh-high socks with blue stripes and matching underwear, while the regular maids had translucent black lace undergarments and lace stockings attached to a garter that looked like they belonged in a sex shop. 

However, some of the dark lolis, such as the Devastating Evil Dragon Emperor Lolita and the Devouring Holy Dragon Euphenisia, were special exceptions and did not need to change into the set of blue and white undergarments and stockings. Instead, they were wearing dark purple lace undergarments and garter stockings. After all, being adorable was not their style as it was only logical for dark lolis to be wearing such sensual undergarments.

The members of the Rose Society who were acting as maids were all wearing undergarments that were designed by Bella. Although Bella was now in her surrogate body’s state and did not have x-ray vision, the undergarments were all her designs as she did not need x-ray vision to know what type of undergarment the maids were wearing at any given time. 

The maids in all three restaurants were dressed in the same outfits; the only difference was the accessory that they wore on their heads. The maids at the Western restaurant on the third floor wore bunny ears and had a more sensual vibe. On the second floor, the maids were wearing cat ears, which gave them an adorable look.

The maids on the first floor were wearing fox ears and were going for a foxy style. As for the forbidden basement, the maids’ style still remained a secret. 

“Princess Hetivil, do you really want to eat here? Why don’t we go up to the restaurant on the second floor, there’s delicious sushi there.”

“No, I wish to stay here. Please arrange for someone to assist me in changing, I want something with more cloth.”

Just as Bella suspected, the Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil eventually chose to put on the qipao, which had more coverage than the revealing Han outfit. It was such a waste. The Silver Dragon Princess Isabel and the Fire Princess Sulliman, who had come along with Hetivil, were intending to choose the qipao as well. 

Unfortunately for them, Bella instantly knocked the naive thought out of their heads. The maids that Bella had arranged to help them change simply led them to a changing room that was filled with elegant Han outfits, and there were no qipaos to be seen anywhere. Now, Isabel and Sulliman had no choice but to give in and change into the revealing Han outfits. Since Bella could not get any eye candy from Hetivil, these Dragon princesses whom she had taken in would have to make do in the meantime!

While the Dragon princesses were still changing in the guest’s changing room, the few Renegades at Bella’s side, such as her little sister Lisha and Princess Kriss, went into the employee’s changing room to change into their work clothes. Obviously, they would not be in a maid’s outfit. Instead, they had changed into chef’s outfits and had tall chef’s hats on their heads. 

The Chinese and Japanese cuisine in the maid cafe were all prepared by these interdimensional traveling ladies. Based on their memory, they directed the Ghost maids in preparing all sorts of delicious dishes. Those dishes were all from Earth, and no one would know how to prepare them unless they were interdimensional travelers. The only exception was the Western restaurant on the third floor. That restaurant’s food was not managed by Kriss and the others as it served Western cuisine. This meant that the other members of the Rose Society could handle it on their own. 

Bella did not change into a maid’s outfit either. Instead, she was dressed in an immaculate black women’s suit that she had personally tailored. Now, she was the “temporary manager” of this maid cafe. Once she had changed, Bella went into the kitchen to look for the three busy chefs and gave each of them a little gift.  

Bella had always given gifts based on the other party’s profession. The Mage Ariel was given a beautiful magic ring, the Assassin Noreya was given an invisibility ring, while the Puppet Master Elaine got a metallic grey spirit summoning ring. Previously, Bella’s little sister Lisha had gotten a golden Dragon Soul Ring. Even the Priestess Isaman, who was constantly rejecting Bella’s gifts, was forced to accept a platinum miracle ring that Bella had pressed into her hand. Kriss had gotten the best gift of all – a seven-colored Rose Heart ring.

“Bella, this ring… I love it. Are you thinking of… never mind, ignore my question.”

“Kriss, as long as you like it. What’s wrong, little sister Lisha, do you not like your ring?”

“I love it, I like all of my older sister’s gifts. But, is there really no special meaning to this ring?”

“There’s no meaning, it’s just a gift. Don’t let your thoughts run wild!”

Bella had gotten all those rings from the Fallen Angel Monarch Jasmine’s store as every one of those rings were extremely expensive. Most importantly, the rings were in the style of engagement rings. However, the cunning Bella would never admit that they were engagement rings. Moreover, none of the Renegades were stupid; there was no way they couldn’t see through Bella’s innocent act. Since Bella did not reveal her intentions, they had no choice but to pretend that nothing was wrong and go along with Bella’s act.

Without any hesitation, Kriss placed the Rose Heart ring on the fourth finger on her left hand, indicating that she had accepted Bella’s intentions. The Mage Ariel, who had been watching nearby, quickly followed suit as well. Although Lisha was Bella’s little sister, she placed the ring on her fourth finger, just like the other two.

The remaining three Renegades were not in a rush to put on the rings as their strategy was slightly different. For instance, Assassin Noreya did not wear the ring on the fourth finger on her right hand. She was an expert at invisibility magic. To be honest, this ring would not be of much use to her at all. However, this did not mean that she felt that the ring was not important. Instead, she added the ring to her necklace as it hung perfectly at the spot above her heart.

This was equivalent to telling the world that she would live and die with this ring, and her feelings towards it were as strong as the previous three had felt. On the other hand, the Puppet Master Elaine and the Priestess Isaman were not as obvious about their feelings. Isaman immediately put the miracle ring inside her storage ring and simply said a curt “thank you” to Bella in response to her gift. It seemed like there was still a long way to go for this maid’s “education”!

The Puppet Master Elaine was still unsure of her own feelings and did not want to make any huge gestures before any certainty. However, she immediately placed an extremely strong curse on the ring. Except for her and Bella, anyone else who held the ring for more than a specific amount of time would be attacked by the curse. At this moment, this was the greatest indication of the depth of her feelings. Otherwise, she would not spend so much time and energy to place a curse on it. 

Once Bella changed into her “manager’s” outfit, she took the plates of food from the other members of the Rose Society and personally sent them over to the Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil. The Dragon princesses were the only guests who enjoyed personal service from the manager, and the other tables looked on with admiration and envy as they watched the special treatment. 

“Bella, you’re too slow. Come on, bring us more dishes. I’m starving! The last time I was at a food festival, organized by our school, I was summoned back for official matters before I could eat anything. Today, I must eat to my heart’s content!”

“Hey, Hetivil, you’re still a princess of the Radiant Dragons after all. Could you mind your image? We are still in a public place. Don’t worry, you do not have to stuff yourself with food like this. Here in my restaurant, our mission is to ensure that our guests leave with their stomachs full and appetites satisfied. If you continue to eat in this manner and a member of the Knight’s patrol saw this, they may misunderstand the situation. They might think that I’m abusing my Dragon steeds by not feeding them and am planning to starve them to death.”

“I’m hungry and I don’t care about anyone else. If you do not serve more food, I may seriously consider reporting you for abusing your steeds by refusing to feed them.”

Bella had just placed the dishes on the table when she caught sight of Princess Hetivil, who was stuffing her face with the food without minding her public image. She was wearing a snow-white qipao with pictures of lilies on it. As Princess Hetivil was surrounded by girls dressed in Han outfits, she definitely stood out as Bella could not help but pay attention to her. Bella’s predictions were right; the Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil was truly a closet glutton.

The Silver Dragon Princess Isabel and the Fire Dragon Princess Sulliman sat at Hetivil’s left and right and wore white and pink Han outfits, respectively. Their outfits revealed creamy white skin that seemed to go on forever as Bella even got a clear view of a small part of their cleavage. The two princesses were focused on eating and did not dare to make eye contact with Bella’s intense gaze.

Both Isabel and Sulliman were silently praying that Bella merely invited them there for an innocent meal and did not plan to do anything strange to them, which meant they would be free to go after the meal. However, they were only lying to themselves as Bella soon dragged them back to reality. From the beginning, Bella had already intended to invite the three Dragon princesses to experience the hidden underground secret restaurant. 

“Bella, do you have more delicious food? The food here is clearly delicious, but by the look on your face, it seems like you have more tricks up your sleeve?”

“Well, I do. However, I’m not too sure if that place is suitable for you.”

“Since there’s good food, why wouldn’t I go? Please take me there later. Isabel, Sulliman, you will accompany me there too.”

Princess Hetivil was already completely engrossed in enjoying the food and agreed to the promise of more delicious food without a second thought. She did not even notice the pleading looks in the other two princesses’ eyes.
