“Th-This is... definitely the dark dragon’s emblem! It’s impeccable!” he exclaimed with astonishment.

“I can’t believe you actually managed this,” said Alicia. “There’s so much detail.”

“...Not to sound mean, but the one from the other girl looks like child’s play in comparison,” added Marni.

The sheer quality of Melia’s latte art elicited comments of earnest admiration from the other two girls.

“I can make stuff like this too, you know,” said Melia as she shot Sain a sullen gaze.

“Uh, right.”

Her gaze darkened into a glower and she leaned over him.

“I can make stuff like this too, you know .”

“Okay! Okay! I get it! I’ll ask you to do it next time! I’m sorry for what I said!”

He raised his hands in submission and begged forgiveness. His prior comment about how professional maids lacked skills with the kind of charm that could bring joy to others had clearly rubbed her the wrong way. Now that Melia had demonstrated the same skill, but with an artistic proficiency that outstripped the other waitress by leaps and bounds, he made a sincere apology and retracted the offending statement. The gesture seemed to satisfy Melia, who nodded with satisfaction at his forehead-on-table pose of apology, and she returned to her seat.

“Mmm... You know what? I think I still feel most comfortable in this outfit,” she said as she gave her maid uniform a pat.

Evidently feeling more at ease in familiar attire, she leaned back and took a sip of her own latte.

“By the way, where did you get that cappuccino from?” asked Alicia.

“I went to the back counter and told them I’m a professional maid and that I’d like to bring the drinks over myself. They were okay with it.”

That was definitely classic Melia; even during a bout of sullen displeasure, she never failed to follow proper protocol and ask permission.

“Huh. That reminds me. Maid, you know what the dark dragon’s emblem looks like?”

“Of course I do.” She took another sip for effect before answering. “Because I do my homework. No self-respecting maid would allow herself to be ignorant of her master’s tastes and interests.”

That was exactly the kind of thing that no maid cafe waitress could ever manage. It was a feat possible for Melia alone, because she attended to him and him only. She had no other master, and had served him with all her heart for as long as they’d known each other. The maids from the cafe had pleasant smiles and were eager to please, but they had no idea what his hobbies or talents were; they knew nothing about him as a person. That was what set Melia apart from all the other maids here, and it was what made their relationship unique — she was his maid. Having realized that vital distinction, he smiled.

“You are indeed the one and only maid for me.”

“...Good, because I’m all you need.”

She brought her cup to her lips again. This time, it was to hide the smile that had crept across them.
