Even though she's wearing a maid outfit, the beautiful girl is still so cute and charming.
Those delicate features, long flaxen hair, and quiet demeanor.
She became the mascot of Yosuga no Sora Cafe simply by standing there, and the most eye-catching maid in the shop.
However, Sayuri Sawamura, who knew Minami Kotori well, could tell from the girl's smile that she wasn't in a very good state.
"Little Bird, is something on your mind?"
Sawamura Sayuri walked up to Minami Kotori, only to find that the girl was completely lost in thought.
Left with no other choice, Sayuri Sawamura could only push the girl's body.
"ah!"
A clear and melodious cry.
Then Minami Kotori came to her senses and noticed Sawamura Sayuri standing in front of her.
"Sorry, manager, I didn't notice just now."
"Hey, Kotori-chan, what happened to you in your life?"
Sawamura Sayuri took the sign from Minami Kotori's hand and placed it aside.
Then he pulled the girl to sit down at the counter.
When her manager noticed that she wasn't paying attention, Minami Kotori's delicate face showed a startled expression.
"I'm sorry, store manager, I will never do it again!"
Seeing Minami Kotori stand up in a panic and apologize to her, Sawamura Sayuri gently waved her hand.
"I'm not blaming you, Kotori-chan, I'm just worried that you might be having some problems in your life."
Sawamura Sayuri pulled Minami Kotori back to her seat, looking at her with a worried expression.
"If you can't solve this or have any problems, you can talk to me. Don't let my young appearance fool you, I'm already an old lady with a daughter the same age as you."
"There, the shop manager isn't an old lady at all. She's still so young and beautiful. Among the customers, you're even more popular than me."
Sawamura Sayuri simply smiled at Minami Kotori's praise, accepting it without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
"Hey, so, Kotori-chan, can you tell me if you've encountered any troubles in your life?"
Sawamura Sayuri's question caused a look of melancholy to appear on Minami Kotori's delicate features.
Sawamura Sayuri immediately understood that Minami Kotori had really encountered something.
"Manager, my school is going to be closed down."
Sayuri Sawamura raised her eyebrows slightly. As a Love Live! fan in her previous life, she naturally knew Minami Kotori's identity.
A student at Otonokizaka Academy, and the daughter of the school's chairman—that's Minami Kotori's identity.
However, is Otonokawa Academy still facing this problem?
With the school closure crisis looming, μ's is probably the next group to appear.
This is the LL cult, which was known as one of the three major cults in China in its previous life, and a campus idol group.
"Should the school be closed down?"
Minami Kotori nodded bitterly; she was very reluctant to leave the school in her hometown.
"Yes, Manager, due to the continuous decrease in student enrollment, our school has begun to run into financial difficulties, and the finances have been in a state of loss for the past few years."
Otonokizaka Academy is the school that Minami Kotori has been involved with since she was a child.
Every corner of the school, those campus buildings, those two adorable alpacas—each one is a precious part of her childhood memories.
"A few days ago, my mother told me that if things continue like this, the school board will decide to close the school."
"Isn't there any way at all?"
When Sawamura Sayuri asked her question, Minami Kotori's wry smile deepened.
"Mom said she has tried many methods."
As for the effectiveness of these methods, we only need to look at Minami Kotori's condition to know what the result will be.
Originally, Sayuri Sawamura did not want to get involved in this matter. She knew that Kotori Minami, her childhood friend Honoka Kousaka, and Umi Sonoda, along with six other beautiful girls, would perfectly solve this problem.
It not only resolved the crisis of the school's closure, but also gave Otonokizaka Academy a second spring, which was on the verge of decline.
However, upon seeing the worried and distressed expression on Minami Kotori's cute little face...
Sawamura Sayuri was still a little reluctant, but she decided to let μ's appear ahead of time.
A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she reached out to grasp Minami Kotori's soft little hand.
"Little Bird, if there's really no other way, I actually have a solution."
"Really!"
Hearing Sayuri Sawamura say that, even the quiet and gentle Kotori Minami couldn't suppress her excitement.
She jumped up excitedly, looking at Sayuri Sawamura with anticipation.
Sawamura Sayuri, of course, wouldn't let her shop's adorable signboard girl down. She stood up with a smile and then pulled Minami Kotori into the office.
Sawamura Sayuri reached out and closed the office door behind her, then walked behind the desk under Minami Kotori's expectant gaze.
She opened the drawer, pulled out a poster, and handed it to Minami Kotori.
With a puzzled look, Minami Kotori took the poster from her shop manager and glanced at it curiously.
Then she exclaimed in surprise, a shy expression appearing on her face.
"Manager, are you asking me to become a campus idol?!"
Seeing Sawamura Sayuri nod with a smile, Minami Kotori hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head frantically.
"That's impossible! Becoming a campus idol is simply out of the question for a girl like me!"
"Why?"
Seeing the girl so vehemently deny it, Sayuri Sawamura was not surprised at all.
He simply smiled and looked at the girl.
"Kotori-chan is so cute and beautiful, with such a cheerful and optimistic personality, and so gentle. Your smile always brings a healing warmth to people."
Sawamura Sayuri spoke in a very calm tone, making Minami Kotori's face turn red continuously. In the end, Minami Kotori almost fainted.
However, she still shook her head desperately.
"Even if the store manager said that, it's impossible for me."
A hint of sadness appeared on Minami Kotori's delicate little face.
She looked down at her feet; white stockings covered her calves, creating a pale, absolute territory between them and her maid dress.
Even so, these legs look so cute, making one want to touch them.
But Minami Kotori herself knew that there was a scar about three centimeters long on the inside of her left knee.
That's because she was lame when she was a child and always dragged her leg when she walked.
Although he later underwent surgery and has since recovered.
But the scar on the inside of her knee remained etched in Minami Kotori's heart.
Beneath her cheerful and lively smile lay a slight sense of inferiority.
