"Hello there viewers...Shinko here...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open them again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So anyways viewers, before I proceed forward with this particular chapter...and like always viewers...a chapter recap is in order first...now then viewers...let us begin the chapter recap now, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed*"

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 me, 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, Keiko, 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, Keiko, or Zachary, for what was currently taking place. And what I 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!" I had 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, as I had recently learned. Both he, and Ichigo Momomiya, the civilian identity of the one and only Mew Ichigo, both had what was called a Mew mark.
Which was a 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 it is 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. As he had just told me, along with Misaka, Zachary, Sakura, Momoko, and Keiko. As we were the only ones that were currently in the Tokyo Mew Mew anime canon timeline. Well, that we knew of at the current moment. But, this was something, that could very well not wind up being the case. But, more on that a bit later on.
And as for why I was currently 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 me in response, only for me to then try, and then proceed to cut him off mid statement, in what was the most polite way that I could currently muster.
Which given my currently peeved sort of mood, was something that I somehow found to be quite easy. But, this was now something, that I was starting to lose quite quickly.
But, as I 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," Keiko now proceeded to speak up to me with. Which, upon hearing her say this, I had then decided to briefly turn to her, in order to try and ask her exactly what it was that she meant by her saying this.
"Wait a sec Keiko, you're okay with wearing that?" I proceeded to ask Keiko, with a now completely small comedic sort of small eyed and shocked looking expression, now present on my 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?" Keiko now proceeded to say to me, with a very knowing, and closed eyes smile, currently present on her face.
And quite strangely, they weren't the only ones that were okay with this...
"I am with Keiko on this one Shinko. As like her 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. He 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 me and him. But, as for my response on this statement of his...
"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..." I proceeded to say, only for someone else, to now proceed to interject once again, into my fourth wall break.
"Hey Shinko?...You're doing it again...*Keiko proceeds to say this to me, with a sweatdrop, and a similar small eyed expression to the one I had recently shown. 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 this 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?" I now proceeded to say back to Keiko. And I had said this, with a now similarly looking mischievous small eyed sort of expression, present on my face as well.
And with regard to Keiko's response...
"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...*Keiko proceeds to say this, only for me to now proceed to start to giggle quite audibly. Which not surprisingly, is then followed by her turning her attention to me, with a very visible tickmark, now present on her face*...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...*I now proceed to quickly clear my 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?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling, with both of my eyes closed*"
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 Keiko had just finished taking their order had just said to her. Which surprisingly, since Keiko had not been expecting it, she had now proceeded to lightly blush. And like Zachary, I also thought that it was kind of cute to see her blush.
"O-oh...well thank you..." Keiko now proceeded to somewhat nervously say back to them in response. And as for the cute maid outfit, that the customer said that she 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 her and Misaka had worn during the most recent Summer Festival at Tokiwadai Middle School back in 'Chapter 13: The Two Tokiwadai Aces, The Tokiwadai School Festival, And The Violin Duet' of the A Certain Scientific Pair Of Railgun Aces fanfic.
And as for me and Momoko's maid outfits? Well, I was wearing a darker blue maid outfit, that actually somewhat matched the dark blue butler outfit, that Zachary was currently wearing on him. And as for Momoko's maid outfit? Well she was wearing a similar pink colored maid outfit, that Sakura herself had worn back in a previous chapter of Going Almost Completely Blind.
But thankfully, and unlike back in 'Chapter 13: The Two Tokiwadai Aces, The Tokiwadai School Festival, And The Violin Duet' of the A Certain Scientific Pair Of Railgun Aces fanfic, Kuroko wasn't currently here to try any of her perverted antics on Keiko, regarding her maid outfit. But shockingly...
"Man, I am really not at all surprised that me and Momoko are having a somewhat tough time with being maids here at Cafe Mew Mew...But the thing with this is viewers...that like me and Momoko having to learn on the fly with fighting against Raindevila and the rest of the villains from our past...I am sure that this is also something, that we will wind up excelling at as well...given that as I have aforementioned...we have been doing more difficult things then this...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.
But anyway, getting back to the current situation...
"So Keiko, how are things going?" Ichigo proceeded to ask, as she walked up to Keiko, in order to check how things were going with her as a maid at Cafe Mew Mew.
"It's going very well Ichigo, thanks for asking," Keiko proceeded to say to Ichigo in response. Which she had said, while briefly smiling with both of her 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 proceeded 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 me and her seem to be having the most trouble with serving as maids...as both of us don't have the experience, that Keiko, 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.
And the reason for why this was the case, was that yet another crashing sound was now 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 me, and not Momoko, that had caused this to happen.
And upon Keiko letting out yet another big sigh, and then turning her 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.
