Chapter 2 Clash! Maid Coffee Shop and the Butler Cafe

Sierra Zadou was really furious.

She told Jin before to call for her, but her high school class break already passed, not only did he not answer her calls, but he did not even went to school.

Sierra is a genie of the lamp, but even so, she's still just a beginner. And as for her to continue to live a life of abundance, she must level up as a genie.

She have to follow the orders of the owner of the lamp, her "master". Her level increases according to the satisfaction gauge of her Master. And as long as her master doesn't call for her, her level won't increase.

"Excuse me ..."

That afternoon, Sierra interrupted Jin's roommate Yuuya in the classroom.

She have an aura of rich princess that is usually not of this world, her long hair and slender physique as slim as the model. Big round and beautiful mulberry colored eyes , that causes both men and women to be attracted to her and as the daughter of a wealthy family exude elegance of the others, she can seen with praise by people around her.

She is surrounded by girls everyday in the classroom, boys can talk with her -if the boy talk, she would respond to him. But very few guys dare to start on their own initiative to speak with Sierra, the hardest girl reach, which they can only worship with their eyes.

Sierra, spoke to him, Yuuya quite nervous, was stiff with tension with his whole body. Even though he's a Music Club member, he still flustered and stammered.

"w-w-what, Ms. Zadou is the problem?"

Cold sweat continue to exude from his body, as he nervously wipe his forehead with his handkerchief. To see Sierra's face up close, her beauty has greater impact, compared from seeing her from a distance, like her deer-clear brown eyes, slender and thick eyelashes... saying it is god's miracle in no way an exaggeration.

He then recalled his dream that one evening, a week ago, this dream of holding Sierra (in fact, indeed, of hugging her ...) that dream, smelling her sweet fragrance, his memory clearly recalled, where he and other people were acting unrestrained.

Because he blanked out Sierra asked, "... um, is there a problem?"

"Don't worry, no problem." He cleared his throat, but also like a business-like, evening rubbing his hands together.

"The boy who is always with you, what was his name... you know, the one who is a fan of archeology, sorry, I forgot his name-"

"You mean Jun? He certainly isn't normal and he isn't popular, quite different from Ms. Zadou."

Of course, Sierra is deliberately lying. In order not to arouse any suspicion, she must feint ignorance, thus, Sierra asked carefully.

"That ... he recently stop coming to school, is there a problem? I'm a little worried as his classmate..

"To even get worried for a guy like him!, Ms. Zadou, is such a gentle angel."

Yuuya placed hands in his chest, moved to tears, which dripped from his eyes.

"But do not worry, it's just a cold."

"He did not come to school for one week just for a cold?"

"Err, that is... he got a forty degrees of fever, aching joints, unexplainable red rash in his body, his tongue turning green, ...hey, ah, it is just a cold."

"Quick, take him to a doctor!"

Sierra's face paled, as she grabbed Yuuya's collar. Yuuya also seems to be very surprised to see Sierra's outburst.

(Ah, it can't get worse...)

Almost a long time before Sierra calm down.

(Mainly, I wouldn't be so worried about that commoner! But if he died, that devil, then my level will be reset to zero and I don't want that to happen! Yes I don't care about that commoner other than that!)

Unconscious of how serious her look is, Sierra desperately wants to convince herself. But the problem is that other party seems misunderstand. Sierra to continue shaking him, his hands were against, red cheeks once again.

"That, Ms. Zadou you're a bit too hasty."

"What too hasty?"

"Suddenly forcing people..."

"You are totally not listening to what I'm saying, right?"

Sarah asked with a smiling lips but angry that the veins in her temple looks about to burst.

"Ah, it really means to be wrong or I ah, I wonder, how could Ms. Zadou, I do like, but until I win the rock band contest, be sure to ..."

"Getting red rash at this stage, it's obviously not a cold. If you don't take him to the hospital, don't you think that maybe even you will get infected?"

Sarah tried every means to be understood, as she regained some of her composure. Yuuya also moved to the chest, said pressing.

"Let Ms. Zadou worry about me, it does not matter if he die!"

"That's totally wrong to say about other..."

"Don't worry, I couldn't be infected, because the last three days, I didn't stay at the boy's dorm."

"What?!"

"My rock band contest is coming up soon, the contest may not be prestigious, but we still we have to practice ..."

"So these last few days, you didn't see the commoner, huh?"

"commoner?"

"Ah, no, no ..." Sierra quickly cover her mouth, and turned her back to Yuuya, and added "Oh, thank you. Please convey to our classmate Jun to take care."

"Oh ok, about after a week."

Yuuyi also casually answer, making Sierra extremely worried.

Jun may be dead, now what to do... she want to go check his condition, but girls can't enter the male dormitory. Asking Yuuyi for help may result to trouble, Jun's secret relationship with her, the genie of the Magic Lamp... exposing her becoming a slave of the lamp's owner would be the worse thing ever. Especially, as the Yuuya is also interested in Sierra and if he ever learns this secret, would do anything to become Sierra's master.

(Well, sorry, I'm not willing to serve anyone, Jun! When, of course, it's not like I want to serve your friends you commoner...)

Who can give her assistance, Sierra grew impatient. Suddenly, an idea struck... that person who knows the secret between them.

(Alf. It would be better if she ask her...)

Sierra, worried about the Jun, does not want to give up any faint hope, can be seen holding her fist in her chest, her eyes wide open, looking up.

There is a figure hiding in the dark staring at Sierra. She is a second-year student, the student council vice president, Himuro Eriko.

(Sierra Zadou... you're really as I thought. Yuuyi also has contact with Jin!)

Himuro Eriko is sitting in a seat near the room window, holder her monocular camera with a telephoto lens, has been monitoring the classrooms where two classes of Sierra has already ended. Their high school has a normally shaped school ground, Sierra’s classroom is located just across the courtyard, overlooking Eriko’s. She covered the camera with a textbook, being careful not to let her cover be blown. But just as her body was the turning toward the window.

(She’s always putting on a false impression, being the eldest daughter, showing off as gentle and virtuous, but I know that Sierra Zadou secretly went to the male dormitory where girls are prohibited, she went to Jun’s room and also called for a pizza delivery! So I’ll get my proof, and that will be sure to show the president her true character. I’ll get my evidence, you little cat...)

After correcting her glasses, making it’s lens shining from the sunlight, she reveal a shrewd smile.

(To have spoken with Yuuya, I perceive that today she will be sneaking into the boys dormitory to play. Last time you may have escaped unscathed, this time ...)

Himuro Eriko body exudes evil atmosphere. She was oblivious that the female teacher at the podium just finished writing a question on the blackboard, suddenly asked Himuro Eriko for its answer.

"... So, what is X + Y equals to? Himuro Eriko!"

"Yes, yes! The Kamakura shogunate!"

Himuro Eriko answered in her panic, at the same time she also kicked down her chair in her attempt to stand up.

(Miserable, miserable. All of a sudden, even an accomplished student like me...)

Himuro Eriko was silent, the female teacher after some thought, come to a decision, while drumming in her hands a stick, replied.

"Correct answer. Himuro Eriko is indeed right, we all have to emulate her, we all have a lot to learn."

"Amazing Oh, Himuro Eriko! I didn’t know the answer I swear!"

"Oh so cool Himuro Eriko. You’re a genius."

Listening to her classmates praising her, Himuro Eriko sat down with hands on her chest, relieved.

(What a stroke of luck... damn)

But she was still very doubtful of it herself.

After school, Sierra went to an eatery behind the school named "Alf Layla" -which means One Thousand and One Nights in Arabic, is a Persian restaurant. Staring from the school in front of the large imported car, parked in front of the small cheap looking canteen. Driving home is job the chauffeur of the Zadou Family, Nicolai Pavlov. Resembling a butler with his head, wearing a black hat, wearing a suit, a silver glasses pretending to be mature and unilateral, but is actually 21 years old the young butler, watching this cheap canteen where the sun shone color and stuff full of scatter food samples, frowned.

"Young Miss, only the underprivileged people patronize this shop, and not appropriate for your someone of your standing. If you are hungry, then let us quickly go home, I will prepare for you an authentic Russian tea and traditional Russian Romanov royal dessert.

Nicoletta's family is ancient serve the Russian Romanov royal butler. He came from Russia with a very tasty tea.

"Dessert?"

Sierra heart is shaken. The dessert have a special place in her heart She’s now weighting the importance of the two matters on the scales, with only a little gap between the winner, a really slight gap.

(Stop, Stop. My attraction to sweet almost made me leave the commoner)

Sarah decided carry out her objective, and said to Nicolai,

"I ask you to find a parking lot. It may take some time."

After saying that, went into the eatery.

A Persian restaurant... Alf Layla” feels like public canteens operated by the Persians, and today the shop is crowded with students on their way home. The wall posted handwritten menu, shows the price to be very cheap, with used disposable chopsticks lying on the table, inside you can feel the ancient sense of the beautiful 80’s atmosphere.

"Hey, welcome!"

Full of energy today, speaking in pleasant voice to meet the customer is Alf Shamshir, her hand holding a silver tray. The same age as Sierra, she has not see her since then, having graceful figure, light black skin, golden hair tied on both sides, full of energy and vibrant.

Alf Shamshir, blinking mulberry blue eyes stared at Sarah's face. The students in the cafeteria meanwhile found out that the goddess rich princess Sierra came to the store, and one after another stand up.

Sierra feel their stares and felt very embarrassed, couldn’t ask her question to Alf Shamshir.

"Ah, that, Miss Alf Shamshir... .... One thing I want to ask you."

Looking around the crowd, the subject to ask about specific secrets, so Sarah felt uncomfortable. Getting it, Alf smiled, and patted Sarah's shoulder.

"0K, I understand! Not specifically to what happened, I can talk to you about some things. Daddy, I need to go out!"

Alf Shamshir reach around her back, her hands promptly untied her apron.

Her father the cook who’s currently roasting meat in the kitchen, looked at her and answered like a true Tokyoite.

"Well, be careful? The Shop is busy, you better come back before the sun set!” The too fat shopkeeper, replied, which he turned to after a long time in Japan

Alf pushed on Sarah's shoulders, took her to the back of the shop. They went to a narrow alley as they exit the building and, Alf to sit down in the cemented ground and stretch the legs.

"You sit ah, Sierra."

"Ah ... ... Well, thank you."

Sarah answered, but still continued standing in front of Alf Shamshir. After ten seconds, it looks like she do not want to sit down.

Alf, very puzzled, frowned at Sierra and ask.

"So you want to continue standing?"

"I want to sit. Um, I’m now just waiting for you to cover the ground with a handkerchief for me."

Something snapped, as Alf’s blood vessels in her temple looks like to burst a vein. Alf impatiently stood up, placed her face close to Sierra and glared. Alf's height is relatively higher and she’s looking down on Sierra.

"So you think that’s a funny joke? Missy, what, are you ready to fight with me?"

"You commoner... I’m new to this situation, don’t you know that?"

Even Alf was really infuriated, managed to calm down, spoke, and ask Sierra out what she wants to know. The problem is too surprising, had Alf shocked.

"How can you say something like this matter?"

"What else do you think?"

---

Alf is a genie of the sword, with particular magical strength as those of the holy ark daemons. She eats demons as a staple food, which for her, is very delicious.

Then, in the dim corner of the alley, something rustled.... Sierra startled, took her eyes off Alfa and looked. Metal trash can on the corner of the alley... it sound like slightly shaking, the next moment, there is a black shadow flew out.

"Bzzz!"

An immense mosquito the size of a crow, the buzzing wings making the sound as it fly in the air. The strength of the wind caused by the wings, causes Sierra's hair, her dress uniform blowing with the wind whipped up. It also blowing up dust, which forced Sierra to put up her hand to protect her eyes.

"... what is that?”

"Demon...Mosquito ... “food"

The mosquito wings making have black and white striped pattern as it buzzed . In its head protrude a sharp long thick needle, like the one used when making tatami mat.

It flew toward Alf.

"Alf, Look out!" Sierra cried.

Alf Shamshir spin in a ballet-like motion, she then did a legs split move to the ground, a stance that evaded the mosquito attacks. The violent attack of mosquito, can’t control its offensive in time, hit straight the storehouse wall. Its needle stuck deep in the hard warehouse walls, like darts in a dart board. Sierra felt her body chill.

"Why is it attacking us?"

"Because the two of us are “genies”, being together they can feel our magic and want to devour us."

“Bzz!”

Stuck deep in the warehouse, the mosquitoes refused to go back down. Struggling, buzzing their wings, desperately, it forcibly pushed its legs and manage to pull out the beak, leaving deep hole in the storehouse walls. The mosquito first flew up, then rapidly dived toward Sierra.

"Wah!"

Although being the genie of the lamp, not having been called for by the owner of the lamp, Sierra is currently just an ordinary girl. As a genie she can attempt to use magic, but it’s impossible right now. Also she is unable to dodge the attack. She will be skewered ...

when...

"Bastard, like hell you can!"

Alf Shamshir picked up a trash can cover, and shielded Sierra. The mosquito hit the shield-like cover, which the mosquito pierced through.

"Buzz!" Mosquito wings buzzed, and once again tried to pull out its beak. But Alf held the lid up, and smashed it hard in the ground.

"Clang!"

The force smashed the large tin lid, along with it the mosquito, which got crushed. After a screech – disintegrated into a white smoke. Alf, as before, sucked it.

Sierra, sitting on the ground, stunned.

"Well, I can help you fight these things. With my mentoring, in short of a millions of years, you can too!"

"... Even you are still a physical weak you manage to subdue it, although you know, the units of the calculations are really beyond bad."

"I used Persian traditional martial arts ' Varzesh-e Pahlavani."

"Persian martial arts?"

"In Japanese language is, It’s practiced in a Zurkhaneh or ‘strength house’... it’s just like dedicated gym training exercise, where pahlavan learns out fighting skills, also known as 'Persian martial artist'. It was to free manipulate the strength of the relaxed fighting with the use of floor exercise techniques, isn’t it the best way to gain the most sexy and gorgeous body in the world?"

Alf Shamshir confidently posed her body with her twin tail hair.

(I really don’t get the personality of this overbearing girl and I refute her claim having the world's most beautiful body!)

Sierra thought so, but now is not the time to argue such things, she dismissed her thoughts.

"I am the genie of the sword, strictly speaking, my body is a weapon. Of course changing into the sword form, the attack strength will be higher."

"Seems to me, you’re strong enough now."

"As I am the only one's fighting, to eat the leftovers has been power consuming..."

Burph, Alf burped a little.

I don’t get the genie level-up from eating these weak demons, only from large demons or Holy Arc-level daemons.

That demon, who was controller of the one just right here, she said to Sierra. ... Because they are the demons in the human world take up wicked upheaval, was sealed in the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments which was then sealed in the Holy Arc and hidden in the depths of the Temple of Solomon.

But with the demise of the Kingdom of Israel, It is not known where the Arc disappeared to, from the seal of the Holy ark, daemons have appeared. They hide in the dark depths of the human world, possessing evil minions. To re-seal them, you need the sealing key, "Solomon's Ring" and seal them within the Holy Arc. Solomon's ring is now in the hands of Jun, but the ark is still missing...

"But since the Daemon is in the Japan, and they came from the holy ark, it is likely that it’s in Japan, near Solomon's seal ring. In the legend of Aladdin and the magic lamp appears that at least thousands of years ago, the ring has found in China. Jun has investigated these things, didn’t he told you these things? Asked Alf Shamshir. Sierra is quite worried and said. "The Commoner have not been to school, for three days and no message. I want to ask if you know something."

"Oh, but he didn’t come to our store."

"Can you go and visit to check about his situation? Using the food delivery as disguise to see him?"

"You may say that, but girls are still prohibited into the dorm."

"Don’t you think your skills strong enough that even those boys are no match?"

“You know there are things you can and you can’t do, so what you’re saying is really funny. If I wanted to, I would have eaten you already long time ago.”

Facing the arrogant Sierra, Alf Shamshir, smiled bitterly, with her index finger poking her chest as she speak. Sierra strokes her hair, and turned her face away.

"Then how about we ask your father to help for the food delivery?"

"If Dad leave the store, who’s going cook? It may not look like it, but he’s the only good cook in our family."

"Jeez, don’t you get it. The commoner not only have a high fever, but he also got weird rashes?"

"Oh. That’s common cold, but my friends heard that a rash is spreading among male students now."

"But having green tongue isn’t a normal cold symptom! Isn’t it too cruel, no one’s worried about him? Doesn’t it worrisome if his disease is fatal?"

"Oh, that is quite pretty distressing."

Alf Shamshir clenched her hands to her chest and made a crestfallen look. This caused Sierra to tense a bit.

"For me, Jun, is a very important person... if he really had an serious illness I’d worry."

"Huh, hey, wait a minute."

Seeing the sudden change in attitude of Alf Shamshir, Sierra felt another anxiety.

"Ah, for you, the existence of this commoner is not so important, right? You and I are different in that the commoner isn’t necessarily needed to call out your genie power. Indeed, anyone who can wield you as a sword to destroy the ark daemon, so you can eat the demon needs to be very courageous, but don’t you think anyone can take his place?"

"What nonsense?! To be able to control the kind of magic the ring has, that person has to be special. How can you say its simple replace him? If you are not the genie of Jun, I'd want to make him my master. Oh, Jun I hope your illness isn’t serious... Now I’m really worried, it’s almost heartwrenching."

Alf Shamshir’s hands clasp her cheeks then her shining eyes looked up to the sky. To see her in this innocent manner, consequently gave Sierra a feeling of an endless inner turmoil. Why is there an accumulation of raging fire burning in her stomach?

"I think there no need to be so excessively worried about that commoner."

"Is it my imagination that you just said a minute ago how much you are worried about him?"

"Listen, I am the owner of that commoner! You don’t have my permission to get worried about him and to have one-sided love for the commoner itself is particularly impertinent behavior!"

"I started from my grandfather's generation when we lived in Japan, but I find Japanese still very difficult. My ability to understand Japanese is limited. What did you just said before, I really didn’t understand?"

"Anyway, about the sick commoner, it happens that I own that one, so I don’t need your help, there is no need for you to get involved! So rude!"

Sierra walked out of the alley, got out her phone to call Nicolai.

"Hello? Nicolai, pick me up I'm going home!"

Sierra looked back at Alf Shamshir who watched her with arms crossed.

"... Didn’t you just said that you needed my help, right?"

Sierra completely didn’t understand what her thoughts are; suspiciously, Alf Shamshir happened to enjoyed touting.

"However, Jun's condition is indeed worrying, after all ..."

Alf Shamshir’s pink tongue stuck out gently licked his lips,

"How about letting him taste “vitality” to speed up recovery!"

she whisper this while flashing a devilish smile.

Inside the car on the way home, Sierra was outraged.

(That low class woman! To casually to worry about my commoner, there are limit to vulgarity. I didn’t choose to be saved by her, and having to share these kind of secrets with that thieving cat, it’s very annoying!)

Thinking more of this, Sierra suddenly felt angry and embarrassed,

(... I, I do not particularly interested in that commoner, but that was something I dare say ... ... ah, ah, No No, the commoner, he do not belongs to me, no, that is ...)

Sierra just keeps looking for an explanation to herself.

(Right, right! Yes, if the commoner gets taken away by others, my genie level advancement will have a lot of trouble. It so happens that I am worried for my own future and not for the commoner, yes – it’s concern of my future!)

After finding justification in her own reasoning, Sierra was starting to seriously consider how to go visit the cause of this situation.

(Who to ask for help?)

No, if she asked help from a third party, then that will cause misunderstanding "why would be Sierra get worried about Jun." Their relationship with the lamp is a secret. And, she does not want others to misunderstand on their own about the "get worried about" part.

(That being the case, I have to personally...)

Of course, women are prohibited to enter the male dormitory. Moreover, if she is caught sneaking into the boys' dormitory, there would be a big scandal.

(I personally think that the most important thing is not to get caught, is there a method to accomplish this task. How to do it ...?)

It is not easy to find a good way. Sierra sat in the rear of the car seat, deep in thought to think of something.

Nicolai want to know what is troubling Sierra, but he wouldn’t dare start a conversation, but her expression is unusual, so he asked cautiously.

"Er, Young miss. Are you alright?"

"No, no, I'm fine."

Sierra promptly answered that everything is well. However, soon after, the mirror reflects her face to Nicolai, exposing her worried expression.

Suddenly, Nicolai's eyes falls on the roadside open-air cafes promotion. A girl wearing a maid uniform is listening to customers ordering. Nicolai fixed his glasses, wrinkled his brow, exclaimed.

"What a dreadful maid"

"What?"

Sierra was surprised.

"And the way she’s providing coffee, is simply outrageous. The head should set a good example of how to. We should the notify the master of the house for an extensive training..."

"Nicolai, you have not seen the TV shows about them?"

"Since the start, I Nicolai, would work hard every day at home, and to serve the young miss, is the meaning of my existence. There is simply no need to watch the TV. If I have free time, I would read the great Russian writer Dostoevsky's novels. "

Sierra thought about it, Nicolai only have a short time to rest, and Spend that time to read those thick novels. No wonder he do not even know maid cafes.

"Nicolai, that is the so-called maid cafe."

"Maid cafe?"

It’s generally the dream of the commoner to see what it's like to be served by maids. The owner opened this coffee shop so that those can enjoy what its like, when in the store."

Sierra shows the tendency of the maid cafe with quite a different from the original, but Nicolai seems to understand what she said, simply nod a little, added.

"So to say, but that maid is not really a home employed maid."They work there as one of the restaurant staff, so do not chastise them to their superior."

"I really do cannot understand these commoners."

"I quite agree, but now it seems very popular."

"Oh, now that you mentioned that, I think I've heard the maid at home said, whenever going out shopping, they’d wear casual clothes because whenever they are wearing their maid uniform, they get approached a lot. What I would have thought before was an offensive thing, was that simply someone thought they’re working at a maid cafe."

"I’d say even if they’re wearing casual clothing, they are all true maid. Having received their strict training from maid Mary from the British Empire, they maintain the fine tradition of trained maids..."

Speaking of which, Sierra suddenly stopped.

"Is there a problem?"

Nicolai asked with concern. Sierra's mouth, revealed a little smile.

" Oh... I thought of a great idea, Nicolai."

"Huh? A great idea ... ... What do you mean?"

"Noblesse Oblige"

"Noble obligation...?"

During Medieval age, the European aristocracy, with power over the possessions of the people are squeezing taxes, relatively, when something happens it is necessary to protect the possessions of the noble people, burdened with their lives as a knight obligations during wartime. This is called Noblesse Oblige original meaning, in the absence of war took place in today's society, noble and rich people obliged to distribute wealth to the poor... is the so-called charity.

"Do you want to do charity work, Young miss?"

"Yes, oh, Hollywood stars or celebrities like Bill Gates, have engaged in philanthropy. Ladies of charity is the best proof, who would dedicate their life for the well-being of the underprivileged commoners."

"You are truly noble, young miss! I Nicolai Pavlov, am delighted from my heart that it’s a very great honor to have served under you!"

Nicolai moved his glasses because his blue eyes are wet with tears. Sierra nodded to him and said.

"Well, why don’t we quickly prepare our scenario...?" She spoke with a smile her face, her fingers gently brushed her hair, dialed her phone.

subsequently...

The male dormitory " Tachibana Dormitory", the center of the territory responsible for dinner, the kitchen, where boarders who are scrubbing huge copper pots and busy preparing the dinner for close to a hundred boarders.

Today's main dish is curry. First-year ice Himuro Keita, wearing a plain white apron, skillful prepared the chopped carrots, peeled and diced potato then the horse radish. He is the brother of high school sophomore Himuro Erika.

The boarders around have express their voice of praise.

"Amazing, Himuro! The previously cooked curry, the ingredients were not even sliced, geez."

"My sister has to study in addition to working part-time, I more or less want to reduce the burden of my sister, so I do so by cooking."

"It's a moving story guys... oh ..."
