Chapter 702 Welcome Back, Master
"I think Xiaolin's expression is a little weird." Aqua said to the others in a low voice with disgust: "He must be thinking about some improper things right now."
Her original intention was to arouse everyone's vigilance.
Never thought about it.
Darkness’ cheeks flushed as she panted shyly, “No, something inappropriate? Are you fantasizing about us…!”
"Okay, now let's start the special training!"
Xiaolin interrupted their fantasy.
If not, they would definitely throw dirty water on themselves! ...Although it is indeed as Aqua said.
"Ah, we're getting off topic."
"Shut up!"
Kobayashi rolled his eyes at the stupid goddess, then said to the people who were also somewhat resistant: "You guys, start with the maid's terminology."
"A maid's term?"
"It's the name for customers who come to the store. Basically, male customers are called masters, and female customers are called misses."
This is also a common name used in the store.
Some coffee shops with special features will allow customized titles, which will give customers a better experience. However, Xiaolin does not intend to come up with so many strange titles. After all, it is good enough for these guys to be able to say ordinary titles smoothly.
"Master, master?"
"Young lady...?"
In fact, except for Aqua and Darkness, who was used to being called a young lady, the others were confused.
Xiao Lin continued to explain: "Based on this, the greeting is 'Welcome home, Master!' or 'Welcome home, Miss'... something like this."
"Oh! It's like treating the coffee shop as home." Chris understood a little.
"That's what I mean."
Xiaolin gave her full recognition.
"In summary, let's practice greetings first." He clapped his hands, signaling the lazy crowd to be more serious, and shouted the slogan: "Are you ready? Set - Go!"
"Welcome home, Master!"
Great!
Being welcomed by these beautiful maids, I feel that my life has reached its peak! No matter which man it is, he will fall into such a gentle place.
But Xiaolin was not satisfied.
These people probably couldn't let go. They didn't have the energetic welcome of the maids in a normal maid shop, whether it was Aqua or Chris, who was already full of energy.
"Hey, hey, hey, show some spirit."
"Even if you say so, it's a bit embarrassing to be asked to do something like this all of a sudden."
"If you don't practice hard, you'll grow up selling sweet potatoes!"
Facing their complaints, Xiaolin urged them loudly, "You have to keep practicing until you can speak well. Do you understand? When you put on this dress, you are no longer children. You have to play the role of a maid well and greet each master from the bottom of your heart."
These people listened reluctantly.
Xiao Lin shouted again: "Okay, let's do it again? Ready - all!"
"Welcome home, Master!"
Great!
Although the voice is great, the expressions and movements are totally off. It will take some time to train them.
And so, the special training began.
Although everyone was a little shy and restrained at first, they soon got into the mood and seemed to have a great interest in becoming maids. They followed Kobayashi's instructions and worked hard in training.
From various basic greetings, to the manners of a maid, to the sense of distance and intimacy with the guests, etc.
however.
Although the progress was very smooth, Xiaolin still felt anxious.
The reason is that Kobayashi doesn't know what else to teach them. There is nothing he can do about it. After all, Kobayashi's impression of maid cafes is limited to what he has seen in comics and on the Internet. In fact, Kobayashi knows nothing about the various matters necessary for running a shop.
But the arrow has been shot, and we can only take it one step at a time.
It doesn't matter, it will go smoothly.
"Xiaolin, what are we going to do next?" Aqua saw that he was distracted and leaned close to his ear and shouted in displeasure, "Hey, what are we going to do next?"
“It’s too loud!”
Xiao Lin pushed her cheek away and thought: "Let me think... what to do next... next..."
Suddenly, an idea flashed.
"It's cute! ...Yes, it's cute!"
Kobayashi was so excited that he could think of this that he cheered and shouted as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Cute point?"
"I don't understand, what do you mean by that cute point?"
Darkness and Megumin looked confused.
"It's hard to explain it to you right away." Xiao Lin said, "It's probably about attributes, personality, and many other aspects that can capture people's hearts."
This is also the selling point of the product.
Aqua and Darkness are not treated as commodities, but their services are used as selling points. From liveliness, playfulness, tsundere, gentleness... and so on, these beautiful attributes are displayed, making those otakus willing to pay for them.
"Forget it. Anyway, I'll try to teach you guys."
Kobayashi couldn't explain it clearly, so he decided to do it himself.
"Then as a demonstration, Youyou will go first."
"I, I'll do it?!"
"Ah, yes, that's right. As for Yunyun... maybe it would be more appropriate for her to play the role of a spoiled little sister."
Look at her appearance carefully and determine her attributes.
"A spoiled little sister?"
"Well, when a customer orders food, try to act as coquettish as possible."
"Even if you say so, I don't know how to act like a spoiled child..."
Youyou seemed very embarrassed.
Indeed, this is not her true character. It would be better to say that she is the type of person who will agree pitifully to any unreasonable request made by the customer and satisfy the customer's desire to conquer.
But Kobayashi does not want this attribute to extend to reality - many maids are different from those in real life, and like idol girl groups, they are jokingly called in business status.
"Well... for example -"
Xiao Lin suddenly covered his cheek with one hand and touched his lips with the other, deliberately pretending to be disgusting and pretentious, and said in a low voice: "This dish is really good. I like it very much. I really hope you can taste it~"
"Little Gaga?!"
Youyou looked at him with her jaw dropped, as if she couldn't understand why Xiaolin could do such a weird thing as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, it doesn't matter how you address her. If you're being coquettish, that's probably what it feels like." Xiao Lin casually answered her, and at the same time, he demanded firmly, "Come on, try it quickly!"
"that……"
Youyou's cheeks were slightly red, her eyebrows were slightly lowered, and her shy look made people's appetite increase.
"This dish is really good. I love it so much. I really hope little Gaga can try it too~"
"Okay! That's the feeling! Not bad, not bad! When you really get on stage, just be more emotionally invested, understand?"
"Aha……"
Hearing Xiaolin forcing himself like this, Youyou wanted to refuse, but because of her soft personality, she was too embarrassed to speak up.
Even if other people want to speak up later, they will not be so resistant when they see that Youyou has already agreed.
Plan pass.JPG!
Kobayashi deliberately chose her at the beginning, using Youyou as a flaw to gradually break down the girls' defense barriers.
"it is good!"
He clapped his hands and said, "Just do it this way. I will design cute elements suitable for each of you in a while. Be prepared."
Although the others were very reluctant, they still agreed reluctantly.
Then it’s time to conduct a scenario simulation exercise.
After hearing what Xiaolin said, Aqua was the first to protest with disgust: "Hey————, do you still want to do this?"
"We are going to do business, so of course we have to practice. What should we do if we accidentally bump into a customer?"
“No way, I’m a goddess!” Aqua yelled, “Besides, there’s no need for rehearsals. As long as you have my charm that can make flowers bloom——”
"Okay, let's start with Wiz, who often receives guests."
"How dare you ignore me?!"
Ignoring the screaming stupid goddess, Xiaolin casually said this to the weak lich girl.
After all, the other party is the owner of a magic tool store and often entertains guests. This kind of thing must be very common, and it can also serve as an example for the others so that they know how to receive guests.
"Well, we have guests!"
"Ah, um, um... Welcome, dear customer, what can I do for you today?"
"No! It's not welcome here, it's welcome home!"
Xiaolin discovered a problem.
Although Wiz was good at entertaining guests, her way of entertaining guests was like that of a magic tool shop owner, which was completely different from the maids in a maid cafe. In fact, she had called out the wrong name from the beginning.
"It's the owner! Not the customer, it's the owner! Didn't I just say that!"
"Y-yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Wiz apologized tearfully.
Not only does it not set a good example, it will also make others prejudiced against it.
Hui Hui sighed and said, “We understand what you said, but I just can’t understand the reason for calling you master.”
"Calling customers 'master' is the etiquette of a maid cafe." Kobayashi said as a matter of course.
Darkness said unhappily, “How should I put it? It feels like a fake world is being created.”
"What's wrong with fake things?" Kobayashi immediately said loudly, "That's right! That's why customers... or rather, owners, visit maid cafes to escape the real world full of stress!"
"Hey, this is so profound~"
Youyou couldn't help but admire.
Chris scratched his cheek helplessly and said awkwardly: "Ahhh, this doesn't seem like anything worth lamenting about."
"Well, let's do it again! Well, a guest is coming!"
"Welcome home, Master."
"Pretty!"
Kobayashi looked at Wiz, who was so graceful and not shy at all, and treated the guests perfectly, and he praised her highly.
“As expected of Wiz. Her elegant and graceful manners, coupled with her gentle and virtuous greeting, are perfect!”
This is also the cute point that Xiaolin designed for her.
No matter how Wiz changes, she cannot change her weak side. Unless a human is killed in front of her, and the other party is the Demon King's army, she will be angry.
Otherwise it will just be like this.
But it’s also good like this, at least many people like this one of Wiz.
The witch lady smiled contentedly after receiving the compliment, "Really? Thank you very much for the compliment!"
"Okay, based on Wiz's performance, you try it next, Aqua."
"Wait, why do I have to reference this rotting undead guy?"
"rot?!"
After being scolded by Aqua, Wiz's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful, weak, and helpless.
Xiao Lin raised his head and said, "So what you mean is that you can come up with a reception method for everyone to refer to, right?"
"Of course, it's time to show off the customer service skills I developed while working part-time in the commercial street!" Aqua said seriously.
The provocation method was successfully executed!
The second choice of Aqua is also very particular. Only by provoking her to resist can the stupid goddess be convinced. Otherwise, she will soon get bored and quit.
"Well, then, we have a visitor."
"Welcome - we'll prepare fried snacks for you right away, please wait a moment."
Aqua said this with a smile on her face.
Even though he's a fool, his looks are undoubtedly top-notch, and -
"Very friendly, and his smile is also acceptable..."
"Not bad right?"
“But it’s totally wrong!”
Kobayashi cursed loudly, her smile full of pride and provocation completely frozen.
"We are going to open a maid cafe, not a home-style restaurant!"
"But I sold out all the beef hash browns with this reception, and the store manager also praised my smile as the best."
"A smile is nice, and it can satisfy customers. But the point is, the customers who come to maid cafes are not those stingy uncles! The customer group we are targeting is not the uncles and aunts who seek civilian services. Although affinity is also important, the most important thing is taste, taste!"
Kobayashi tried hard to teach her the difference.
That's right.
The uncles and aunties who went to buy fried beef hash browns bought them because the hash browns were cheap and Aqua's acrobatic performance was free. But maid cafes are different. They don't sell cheap goods, but high value-added services!
"What? In that case, wouldn't it be fine if I just showed my original self?"
"Oh? Well, try it yourself."
"Ahem. Welcome, Master?"
"Well--"
"How about it, very elegant, right?"
To be honest, Kobayashi is defeated.
This girl's style was not that of an idiot, but that of a goddess, which immediately caught his eye. Rather, when Aqua was around, the other maids pale in comparison.
Originally, Kobayashi planned to let her face the customers in this posture, but it would be better to believe that Kobayashi could attract male customers than to believe that she could maintain it for the whole day.
no way.
Instead of giving guests hope at the beginning and then having their illusions shattered, it would be better to let Kobayashi break other people's illusions from the very beginning.
