## Roleplay

A man just came out from a classic old bookstore, that man's favorite bookstore. With a bag full of books, he walked passed people on the pavement to one of his favorite places to spend time and think alone. After some time, he finally arrived at his destination, the Three Wishes Bar owned by one of his precious classmates, Oomi Mika the Super High School Level Barmaid.

"Welcome, Rikimaru-kun!" Oomi shouted from a counter, happily smiling at the man who brought a big bag filled with new books. He is the Super High School Level Screenwriter of Heavenly Born Academy, Rikimaru Hakuryuu, famous for writing scripts for famous plays, movies, and games. There are not many game geeks in the bar, but God, it seems all the people in the city watched his theater and films. They quickly greeted the emotionless Rikimaru with "Good day, Shakespeare II." And so on, and so on. He doesn't care about their praise or greetings and immediately makes his way to the outdoor bar and finds his favorite seat.

Without telling, Oomi knows what Rikimaru liked the most during the afternoon, a sweet cup of milk tea with puddings and an eclair. "Here's your favorite beverage and meals, Rikimaru-kun. Enjoy it to the fullest, and just tell me if you need help. Anything's for you~!" Oomi said after she put all his orders on the table and left. Rikimaru only nods, still showing no emotion.

Rikimaru then proceeded to place all of the new books piled up on the table and his laptop from his bag. After taking a sip of the tea and a bit of the sweet eclair, he begins to multitask, reading the new books and writing his latest story.

The door to the Bar opened. Everyone inside was quite intimidated by the sudden appearance of an ominous figure: An elaborate maid dress hidden slightly by a black jacket and silver hair with various braids in a hat of the same color, almost like they failed in trying to conceal their extravagancy. Though dressed femininely, their sharp facial features made their gender disputable, even more with his large hands, which rested on his groin as he bowed to Oomi Mika and gently made his order. "Good afternoon. I'd like to order a Caffé Mocha, if possible. Thank you by now"

Answered simply with a nod, the ominous person went to the table area, as everyone, startled by his presence, started returning to focus on their meals. He made his way, curiously, to Rikimaru, to whom he had no hesitation to talk. "Rikimaru-dono? I cordially inform you I'm now your temporary servant for an unspecified amount of time. May I do a good job as your loyal maid and right-hand man? I'm Kazuo Akemi, officially entitled as the Ultimate Loyalty"

Rikimaru, who is super busy with multitasking, is also very absorbed in it and doesn't listen to what anyone says or does around him. He doesn't know why inspiration suddenly flows. Maybe this story he writes will be his next masterpiece that could impress the world. He writes a script for a game developer, his faithful sponsor corporation.

After a long time, Rikimaru took another sip of his delicious milk tea and found someone standing beside his table. "Huh... Who are you...?" He says, adjusting his glasses as per usual.

"Oh... You're Rikimaru Hakuryuu, correct? May I re-introduce me accordingly... I'm now your servant for the time being. Kazuo Akemi, Ultimate Loyalty. I apologize for the low quality of this introduction and for surprising you, Rikimaru-done!" Kazuo bowed as he said, trying his best to be polite in his genuine apology.

"Huh...?" Rikimaru takes a glance at the stranger, who is now his self-proclaimed servant. He observed him from the bottom to the top, trying to analyze what this man needed from him. "I don't need a servant..." Rikimaru replied, still showing no signs of emotion, then continued to read and write, ignoring the existence of the Super High School Level Loyalty.

"I will be here in case you ever need protection, information, or general maid work!" Kazuo took off his hat and jacket, fully assuming his maid appearance and standing a few centimeters away from his new temporary master, completely silent.

"...." Rikimaru silently stares at the maid's weird introduction. What's wrong with people nowadays? They just love to act weird around him. Does everybody like Shakespeare II this much that they willingly admit themselves as his servant? "....Don't mind me. I will completely ignore your existence." He said, then continued to focus on his work. He doesn't need a servant to disturb him when his inspiration flows madly inside his head.

"As you wish" He gave a slight bow with his head, closing his eyes.

Without caring about the self-proclaimed servant's existence, Rikimaru sped up his work and focused on his work twice than before. He wanted to finish his fantastic story soon and started to write the script back in his room in the academy. Thanks to his hyper-reading ability, he has already read five books and gained many references and inspiration from each book. Combined with the originality that he thought for quite some time, it would have the best result.

"...." Rikimaru adjusted his glasses, took the last sip, and bit his milk tea and eclair before finally finishing his work that day. "...." He silently prepared himself to return home.

"..." With steps that didn't emit any sound, the maid followed, unaware that he was being quite an annoyance to his new "master."

After he paid the bill and bid Oomi a farewell, Rikimaru silently walked away from the bar and headed back to his dorm. While walking, he didn't notice anything besides the book he read. Once absorbed into something, he will forget everything surrounding him and just do whatever he likes.

Rikimaru seems to forget that his self-proclaimed butler has already followed him since he left Oomi's bar. Well, not that he remembers nor cares about this strange stranger or anything.

"Halt! Caution!" Kazuo shouted, grabbing Rikimaru's arms and stopping him as he almost stepped on a 'surprise' left by a dog. "Do you wish I clean that inconvenience?"

"...............Huh?" Rikimaru doesn't respond to that warning until he finishes reading one chapter for five minutes after a stranger grabs his arms.

Rikimaru silently looked at his shoes that were already dirtied by a dog's shit. Well, whatever. Rikimaru casually dropped both of his shoes there and walked with bare foot, continuing to ignore the stranger and keep reading the book. He has plenty of money on his account and could buy a pair of shoes later.
