One day Kanae asked Hotaru a favor...

"Hotaru, can I ask you a favor?" Asked Kanae.

"What is it? "

"Will you be my substitute in the cafe that I'm working to?"

"Sure... What will I do in there?"

"You will be serving there as a maid..."

"I can't be a maid dressed in frilly dresses..."

"Please~"

Kanae looks Hotaru in the eye like a whimpering puppy to convince her.

"NO!" Hotaru objected.

"Please Hotaru, I'm begging you! Its only for a day. Senpai with asked me out. And you know that I

have a crush on him for so long and there's no turning back because I already said yes."

"I know but..."

"In the name of love and justice?"

"Okay! In the name of love and justice!"

Hotaru, is easily swayed when she hears the word JUSTICE. Hahahaha!

Hotaru realized that the day that she will be substituting Kanae is in the 14th of February. That's why Kanae's senpai asks her out in that day. But in the name of justice, she will fulfill her promise to be a maid for a day.

One afternoon, she went to the maid cafe where Kanae is working. She was greeted by the manager who is already regarded by Kanae and gave her a change of maid outfit. One of the maid was quite pleased with her personality and is already fond of her and helped her dress up and fix her with makeup.

Hotaru is already teary eyed of what she is doing but in the name of justice... She will fulfill her promise with Kanae. She was informed that there will be a special activity with the customers this Valentines and she must engage with it.

She did quite well and the manager was quite pleased because she is a fast learner. She also acts like she is because she is calling herself in third person like a child that is a plus for her roleplaying as a maid. Little did they know, Hotaru is already bursting inside, doing this girly thing against her will. When suddenly, Yukki and Mattsun came inside the cafe, and it turned out that they are regulars in there. Oh my Gosh! Is that Yukimura and Matsuoka-san? Tachibana must hide."

"Tachibana-chan. Can you please serve the customers in table #2?" ordered by her fellow maids. Unfortunately, that's the table where her two teammate's at. The other maids are quite busy with that picture taking, playing card games and pocky games as the cafe's Valentines promo. Hotaru has no choice but to comply with her senpai's order.

Approaching the two, Hotaru covered her lower part of her face leaving only her eyes appear with a tray.

"Can I please take your order sir?"

"Don't hide your cute face maid- chan. Are you new in here."

"Y-yes..."

"Why are you so red? Do you have a fever?"

"N-no... May I please have you orders?"

Hotaru is blushing with her embarrassment learning that she is serving her friends as a maid, wearing a sexy maid outfit. She suddenly got surprised when they turned the poppers that made a loud sound to celebrate Valentines. To her surprise she left her face uncovered. Even with a heavy makeup she is still recognized by her friends.

"I-is that you Hotaru-chan?"

"N-no sir... I think you have mistaken me from someone else."

Yukimura winced and fixed his glasses to confirm.

"You are definitely Tachibana-kun."

Maid #2 suddenly interrupts.

"You got a special promo reward which is a pocky game with one of our maids, goshushin-sama for

this Valentines day."

"Can we have a pocky game with Tachibana-kun then?"

"Of course!" the maid replied.

Maid #2 holds Hotaru's left shoulder winked at her with amusement and said.

"Good luck newbie!"

A bunch of pocky sticks is served in a glass goblet. Hotaru on the other hand is cursing inside knowing that she will do this embarrassing with her friends. She can't defy to what her senpais ask her because its too impolite to say no to them.

Masamune is agitated, knowing that the cute maid in front of him is his dearest Hotaru- chan. Hotaru took the initiative to pop the end of the pocky in her mouth.

"Oh, too bad one of us will be having a pocky game with her. You go then Mattsun."Said Yukimura.

"You go instead, afterall, you are a regular in here Yukki."

"Eeh? But I only want to have a pocky game with you Mattsun."

Hotaru on the other hand is upset, having the pocky stick stuck in her mouth while the two guys are ignoring her. She glared at Masamune when she met his eyes.

Masamune has no choice but bite the end of the pocky, and slowly bites again as Hotaru does. Masamune is too embarrassed to take this long with his eyes already closed and quickly nibbled the pocky. So as Hotaru because she wont allow herself to lose. Little did they know, their lips met. Knowing that Masamune already backed off. Hotaru cleaned the remaining chocolate on her lips with her tongue but she is still a nano centimeter from him that made her tip of her tongue touches his lips.

Yukimura on the other hand is quite amused with the show, discreetly taking videos of them with his phone. When Masamune felt something is touching his lips, he backed off partly blushing like an innocent schoolboy from her.

"S-sorry!"

"I should be the one who's sorry Masamune-san...."

They both covered their mouths then. Hotaru, who couldn't muster any word to say retreated to the staff room to cool off herself of what happened just a while ago.

Yukimura then teased his bestfriend, amused of his friend's shocked appearance. Hotaru made use of her breaktime to hide from them. Her friends left the Cafe without giving their regards to her.

One morning, Hotaru left obligatory chocolates in her friends' mail box before going to school even though Valentines is already over. 

Masamune opened his opened his mailbox. He received a box obligatory chocolates left for him. Much to his surprise he finds out that the chocolate is from Hotaru and she left a small note saying:

"You dummy! That's my first kiss!"

Masamune smiled, quite amused thinking that she too clueless believing that she even counted that as a kiss.

One night, when Hotaru is about to open her apartment's door Masamune approached her. She couldn't even look at Masamune, gazing at the open space, clenching her bag's strap.

"Good evening Matsuoka- san. Lets forget of what happened yesterday."

"What if I'm not."

"Please Matsuoka-san remembering it makes me too embarrassed..".

Masamune chuckled of how innocent Hotaru is acting. Though she is. Haha!

Out embarrassment, she is about to uppercut Masamune but he caught her fist and gently held her chin upwards that make her look in his face and made her wince. She suddenly felt a pair of lips touching hers that she indeed experienced for the first time from a guy that is passionate enough that make her heart pound faster.

"That is how the way you kiss and can be counted as a kiss. And that means, I'm still your first."

Hotaru got furious and stepped on his foot believing that he is making fun of her. She retreated to her apartment and slammed the door close and shouted.

"Matsuoka-san you BIG PERVERT! I'll make you pay!"
