Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Maid To Serve, And Maid To Fight!: Catering To The Public On The Side, At Cafe Mew Mew! (Part 2)
"Hello there viewers...Keiko here once again...*I proceed to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers as usual. To which I then proceed to bring my attention and eyesight back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers. I also now proceed to clear my throat, as I then proceed to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers...we will now dive right into, what is now going to be the next arc of this crossover...Oh, and like always viewers...a chapter recap is in order first...now then viewers...let us begin, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so since the last chapter. And after he had been shocked pretty severely, as well as several times by Misaka. Quiche had then chose to flee the scene. Which was probably done, because like Pluie, Aquelda, and the rest of Raindevila's henchman. And also along with the rest of the villains rogues gallery.
Which Angel Bluebell, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, Angel Salvia, Limone, Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Mercury, Super Sailor Mars, Super Sailor Jupiter, Super Sailor Venus, Super Sailor Saturn, Super Sailor Uranus, Super Sailor Neptune, Super Sailor Pluto, Tuxedo Mask, Sakura, Zachary, Li, Kero, Yue, Misaka, me, Kuroko, Mitsuko Kongo, Touma Kamijou, Sugiita Gunha, Misaki Shokuhou, Belldandy, Urd, Skuld, Lieutenant Rukia Kuchiki, Lieutenant Renji Abarai, Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto, Former Gotei 13 Captain Yoruichi Shihouin, Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, 3rd Seat Ikkaku Madarame, Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi, and Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, had all gone and fought against, and had done so, on more then one occasion.
But, nothing could have even remotely prepared me, Zachary, or Shinko, for what was currently taking place. Well not exactly, but what I actually mean by this was...well...
"You've got to be kidding me right?! I mean surely you must be?! No, in fact, heck no! There is absolutely no way that you make me wear that!" Shinko had just proceeded to say to one Ryou Shirogane. A 15 year old, with tan skin, as well as blond hair. He was also tall, had aqua blue eyes. And from what I could see, he was exactly the same, as the Tokyo Mew Mew anime had shown him in regards to his appearance. And also, Zachary actually knew about this well.
Anyway, both Ryou and Ichigo, for those who don't already know, both had what was called a Mew mark. Which is a type of mark, that is a sort of brand, that is to show that they are a Mew Mew. And as for Ryou's Mew mark? Well from what I knew from the anime, was on the side of his neck. But at the moment, it was currently covered with the collar of his shirt.
And as it just so happened, Ryou was the owner of the one and only Cafe Mew Mew. Which was basically a maid cafe, which was used to hide the the secrecy that was the Mew Project. Which was the project that had turned Ichigo into Mew Ichigo.
But, on the subject of Ryou, he had just told Shinko, along with Misaka, Zachary, Sakura, Momoko, and me, that we would be wearing maid outfits, as well as helping to cater to the customers at Cafe Mew Mew.
But, as of this current moment, we were the only ones that were currently in the Tokyo Mew Mew anime canon timeline. Well, that any of currently knew of at the current moment. But, this was something, that could very well not wind up being the case. In fact, we would be meeting up with a few of our allies in a couple hours time from this current moment. But, more on that in a little bit.
And as for why Shinko was currently still so upset...
"But you have to hear me out Shinko, as I think that you would look quite cute in a maid outfit. And besides..." Ryou tried to speak up to Shinko in response, only for her to then try, and then proceed to cut him off mid statement, in what was the most polite way that she could currently muster.
Which given her currently peeved sort of mood, from what I could currently see. As could Zachary, was the very same politeness of hers, that she was now starting to lose quite quickly.
But, as she was about to learn...
"Shinko, I am honestly finding it quite hard to understand exactly why you have a problem with wearing that maid outfit," I now proceeded to speak up to Shinko with. Which, upon hearing Shinko say this. I then noticed, as did Zachary, that she then briefly turned to me, in order to try and ask me exactly what it was that I meant by me saying this.
"Wait a sec Keiko, you're okay with wearing that?" Shinko now proceeded to ask me, with a now completely small comedic sort of small eyed and shocked looking expression, now present on her face.
"Yes Shinko, I am. As this isn't the only time, in which I have had to wear a maid outfit like that one. In fact Shinko, me and Misaka, have had to wear similar maid outfits, during every single one of Tokiwadai Middle Schools Summer Festivals. Isn't that right Misaka?" I now proceeded to say to Shinko, with a very knowing, and closed eyes smile, currently present on my face.
This was true, as back in "Chapter 13: The Two Tokiwadai Aces, The Tokiwadai School Festival, And The Violin Duet." Since me and Misaka indeed had had to wear a maid outfit, during Tokiwadai Middle Schools Midsummer Festival. And also, we both had had to perform a violin duet. Which from what I remember from when we had both played it, the song was actually the season one opening song to A Certain Scientific Railgun, which was 'Only My Railgun,' by fripSide.
And quite strangely, me and Misaka, weren't the only ones that were okay with wearing the Cafe Mew Mew maid outfits. As, with this now in mind, Zachary then proceeded to speak up as well. As a way to attempt to further convince Shinko, that wearing a maid outfit, or in his case a butler outfit, for obvious reasons. Was something that wasn't as big of a deal, as Shinko was currently making it out to be.
"I am with Keiko on this one Shinko. As like Keiko and Misaka, me and Sakura, have also had experience with wearing such outfits. Which in case you viewers need some context. During one of the episodes of the Star Card arc of Going In Almost Completely Blind, me and Sakura, had been part of a maid cafe at Tomoeda Elementary School. Mind you, Sakura was wearing a maid outfit, and me a butler outfit. So yes Shinko, it would seem that you and Momoko. No offense intended by the way Momoko. But it seems that both you and Momoko, are the only ones that don't have any sort of past experience with wearing these types of outfits. Which again Momoko, I don't mean any sort of offense regarding you in this particular conversation," Zachary proceeded to say. And while he had proceeded, while he had been saying this particular statement. Zachary had briefly turned his attention, slightly to the right of him, in order to briefly address the viewers.
And as for Momoko, she didn't wind up taking any offense to Zachary's statement. Which was a relief, to both him and Shinko. But, as for Shinko's particular response on this statement of mine that I had just said...
"Well I guess it would be alright then. As me and Momoko, also sort of have a bit of experience with this sort of thing. I mean after all viewers, I have transformed dozens of times into my usual armored battle outfit, over the course of this fanfic. So it is only natural here viewers...that I..." Shinko proceeded to say, only for someone else, to now proceed to interject once again, into her current fourth wall break.
Which not surprisingly, had now caused a sweatdrop to slowly form, and then slowly make its way down one side of Zachary's face.
"Hey Shinko?...You're doing it again...*I proceed to say this to Shinko with a sweatdrop of my own, and a similar small eyed expression to the one that Shinko had recently shown both currently present on my face. But, the only difference, is that it is a sort of mischievous looking small eyed sort of expression. Similar to the expression that Hinagiku Tomano had made in a previous chapter of the Going In Completely Blind fanfic*"
And not surprisingly...
"And you're one to be talking about having somewhat lengthy fourth wall breaks Keiko!...As don't you also have this exact same issue with your fourth wall breaks?" Shinko now proceeded to say back to me. And she had said this, with a now similarly looking mischievous small eyed sort of expression, present on her face as well.
And with regard to my pretty much valid response given the current situation...
"And I am still currently working on fixing that Shinko!...You know, that was a very low blow coming from you by the way!...And mind you, that wasn't even in the back...that was in the face...And yes viewers...that was a little bit of Amazon Prime's: The Grand Tour humor for you all...courtesy of one Richard Hammond...Oh, and remember viewers...rear wheel drive is best, because as Richard Hammond himself once said...It is so you don't see the tree that kills you...*I proceed to say this, only for Shinko to now proceed to start to giggle quite audibly. Which not surprisingly, was then followed by me turning my attention to Shinko, with a very visible tickmark, now present on my face. Which was having to do with something that I felt at the current moment, needed to be said*...What's so damn funny Shinko!? Would you please care to tell me, what exactly it is, that you seem to currently find so damn funny?!"
"I mean, you're kidding right Keiko?...You can't even get Richard Hammond's quote from that episode of Top Gear right!...And I should know viewers...as I said this very same statement back in 'chapter 38: Running In Top Gear!: Angel Saliva, The Lone Wolf Love Angel!'...And as for the proper way to say that quote of Hammond's viewers...for those who haven't read that particular chapter...for possibly having skimmed through it...It is said as...'Now remember, oversteer is best, because you don't see the tree that kills you.'...And that Keiko, is the proper way to say that quote...So Keiko, if you're going to say it, then at least say it right...As you did look like quite the immense lumpty when you said it...*Shinko now proceeds to quickly clear her throat, before then proceeding to continue to address the viewers*...But anyway viewers...this now marks the end of this particular chapter...and we will be getting right back into the action, in the next chapter...So viewers...with this now very much fresh on all of your minds...we all look forward to seeing you in the next chapter...okay?...*Shinko proceeds to say this, while smiling, with both of her eyes closed*"
"O-okay...well that was something...wasn't it viewers?...Anyway...as Shinko herself had just said to all of you viewers...both me and her, look forward to seeing you both in the next chapter...so viewers...see you there...okay?"
"Okay, thanks for that Zachary...I guess...*I proceed to let out a somewhat audible sort of sigh. And also while a sweatdrop, proceeds to temporarily appear, on one side of my face. Which then winds up disappearing. As I then, now proceed to address the viewers*...But anyway viewers...you heard it from the both of them...see you lot in the next chapter...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
And now that the chapter recap is now done. We will now proceed right into the current chapter.
Date: April 28, 2002
Okay, so proceeding into the next day. And into the current situation...
"My, don't you look cute in your maid outfit," A male customer that I had just finished taking their order had just said to me. Which surprisingly, since I had not been expecting it, I had now proceeded to lightly blush.
"O-oh...well thank you..." I proceeded to somewhat nervously say back to them in response. And as for the cute maid outfit, that the customer said that I looked in? Well it was a slight light blue colored maid outfit. With a white apron, that was similar in style to the maid outfits, that me and Misaka had worn during the most recent Summer Festival at Tokiwadai Middle School back in chapter 13 of this fanfic.
But thankfully, and unlike back then, Kuroko wasn't currently here to try any of her perverted antics on me regarding my maid outfit. But shockingly...
"Man, I really hope that Kuroko is doing alright...wherever she may be...Which by the way viewers...for those of you who want to try and jump to any immediate and very incorrect assumptions...I am only worried about Kuroko's well being...and as such, I am in no way considering Kuroko, to be anything more then a friend...I mean surely you all should've known that...as Shinko had mentioned this back in the second chapter of Going In Completely Blind...as she was not only referring to herself, but to me and Zachary as well...But anyway viewers...I now seem to be waffling a bit here...So, what do you say that we now get back to the chapter at hand...okay?" I thought to myself. Which as usual during this thought of mine, and similar previous thoughts. I had briefly turned my attention, slightly to the right of me, in order to briefly address the viewers. And I had also done this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner.
But anyway, getting back to the current situation...
"So Keiko, how are things going?" Ichigo proceeded to ask, as she walked up to me, in order to check how things were going with me as a maid at Cafe Mew Mew.
"It's going very well Ichigo, thanks for asking," I proceeded to say to Ichigo in response. Which I had said, while briefly smiling with both of my eyes closed.
But, with regard to others who were having a bit more difficulty...
"Oopsie, sorry about that..." The unmistakable voice of one Momoko Hanasaki now proceeded to say. Which she had said with a bit of nervous tone to her voice.
"Sis...no offense...but you really need to be a tad bit more attentive with carrying all of those dishes back to the kitchen..." I now heard Shinko proceed to say to Momoko. As Momoko had just dropped a couple of the dishes that she had been taking back to the kitchen. And not surprisingly, they had all hit the floor, and had shattered into several fractured and jagged pieces.
And not surprisingly...
"Well, at least Momoko means well...But still, I am really not at all that surprised that she and Shinko seem to be having the most trouble with serving as maids...as both of them don't have the experience, that me, Misaka, Zachary, and Sakura have...But viewers...it is both the effort, and also the thought that counts here...Because as long as you try your best..." I then proceeded to think to myself. Which was once again followed, during me having this thought. I had once again briefly turned my attention, slightly to the right of me in order to briefly address the viewers. With the only difference this time being, that I was now smiling with both of my eyes open.
Well, I had actually started to smile with both of my eyes closed, only for me to then snap them open quickly. As yet another crashing sound was heard. As a couple more dishes had now proceeded to hit the floor and shatter into several more broken and jagged pieces. Only this time, it was Shinko, and not Momoko, that had caused this to happen.
And upon letting out yet another big sigh, and then turning my attention over to Misaka. Who at the moment, had just finished taking a customers order. And after briefly smiling with both of her eyes closed. I once again had another thought...
"Well...at least we can consider this a sort of brief break from having to fight against Crowley...Which unfortunately, I don't exactly know where he currently is hiding at the moment...And why do I think, that this very fact...Is probably going to wind up forcing us all to travel through many different forms and dimensions of media...Until we finally do wind up finding him...And yes viewers...you read that part of my thought right...As these three fanfics, are actually nowhere even remotely close to being done with...I mean after all viewers...This was somewhat planned from the very start...As due to this, with the exception of a few forms of media, for obvious reasons...some due to a...*ahem*...big brand cartoon mouse...and others...because of less obvious reasons...that I won't be going into...But anyway viewers...this does mean, that you can all look forward to these three fanfics, being progressed for many more possible years to come...But viewers...this now marks the end of this particular chapter...But just to give you viewers a heads up...the next chapter will wind up being a non action filler chapter...So like all of the other previous chapters like it...you will once again have my full permission to skip it...But for now viewers...I will be seeing you lot in the next chapter...okay?" I thought to myself. Which was once again followed, during me having this thought. I had once again briefly turned my attention, slightly to the right of me in order to briefly address the viewers. And I had done this, as usual, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head tilted to one side in a very cute looking manner.
