Helbram and Sydney headed to the mall.

On their way, Helbram enjoys watching food stalls but– he accidentally glimpsed on Frederick, together with Rose.

"Wait, is that— Rose and Frederick?"

Both are happy, as for Helbram, his expression shifted from joy to annoyance. Sydney finished packing up the clothes and calls Helbram but the man looks like he doesn’t hear her.

"Helbram, what are you doing? Come on! Let's g—!"

Suddenly, she followed where Helbram’s looking and saw Rose and Fredrick. That’s when she starts teasing.

“Oh mama? I sense jealousy!”

Helbram flinched.

“What?! Me?! Jealous? NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!”

 Sydney laughed. “Oh come on, a girl like me knows all!”

Helbram glares and exhales. “ARE YOU DONE OR WHAT? My legs are itching to walk.”

Sydney giggles. “Oh? Is it? Well, how about this? I'll treat you to that milktea stall over there. Matcha flavor with extra boba pearls, wat do ya say? Great deal from Class Pres. hmm?”

Helbram made a grumpy look. “Fine.”

Sydney smiles. “Attaboy!”

9 P.M.

At Sydney’s house, the woman is checking Helbram’s facial features and anatomy.

“Wow, I didn't know you're this hot! I mean... Not only your body but the moment I get closer, you–"

Helbram rolls his eyes.

“Just shut up and familiarize my facial structure.”

Sydney smirk.

“Ya got it boss!”

“Oh, by the way, I’m going to remove your eyepatch so I can have a clear look on what contact lens I’ll use. So, will you grant me acce– ”

Helbram gone serious.

“Request denied!”

Making Sydney disappointed.

“But – why?”

Helbram starts being protective on his eye.

“Nothing. Just do your thing and leave my other eye alone.”

“But Helbram, if we remain that eye-patch of yours, they'll recognize you! So, my advice is the use of contact lens.”

Helbram exhales. “I agree with contact lens but I won’t let you do it. I will be the one putting them. The only thing I only allow is your make-up.”

Sydney pouts. “Alright, alright. I get it.”

3 A.M.

Alarm’s up, Helbram’s still sleepy but he must wake up, eat his breakfast, and do lots of stuff such as taking a bath so, the Sydney can do her stuffs.

“Alright, before we start, I’d like to ask what's your dream.”

Helbram gasped.

“Wait, why? What's the connection with the make-up?”

Sydney felt embarrassed.

“Just... answer me, will ya?”

Helbram sighs.

“A soldier, so what?”

Sydney smiled. “Okie dokie! Now….”

She let out a deep breath and exhale.

“POSITION YOURSELF FUTURE SOLDIER!”

Helbram jolt.

“What in Tophet?! Don't act like a– ?!”

Sydney points at him, menacingly.

“50 push-ups in 20 minutes! Now!”

Helbram's shocked.

“WHAT?! YOU WANT TO DESTROY MY MUSCLES?”

Sydney squats and crossed her arms.

“HURRY UP, YOU SLOWPOKE!”

Helbram’s confused but heeded her plea.

“A FUTURE SOLDIER MUST START HONING THEIR DISCIPLINE AND BODY! SO, HURRY UP! DON'T SLACK AROUND!”

Helbram's angered.

“Curse you!”

An hour has passed….

Helbram falls on the floor, panting heavily.

“That's…. my first time I had…. 50 push-ups for a… minute!”

Helbram's trying to catch his breath and Sydney nods.

“Hmm... Not bad for a nerd! So, you are indeed telling the truth! You really are honing your muscles, huh?”

Helbram just glare at her.

“I just…. took a bath, not too while ago…. Are you seriously… okay with this?... I'm all … sweaty!”

Sydney smiles innocently.

“You’ll just take another bath. We have water though.”

Helbram clicked his teeth.

“YOU–!!!”

Sydney laughed from his reaction.

"Just take a rest for a while. 10 minutes, I think? And after that, take a shower and dry yourself up.”

Helbram try to stand up.

“What’s the purpose… of that sudden work-out?!”

Sydney smiled.

“I’m just testing to confirm whether you are really working out.” She childishly admits. “Since you’ve passed, I am humbled.”

She shrugs. “Anyway, rest as I prepare my make-up set.”

Helbram lay on the floor, all exhausted.

“Tophet! I can’t believe this! I can’t even hold my phone to play games!”

30 minutes later…

“Alright Helbram!  Sit here and lemme do your make-up touches!”

Helbram sits and noticed that the prepared outfit is not maid.

“Hey, aren’t you gonna turn me into maid?”

Sydney giggles. “Oh? You’re that excited to try it out? I’m flabbergasted!”

Helbram raised a brow. “What do you mean by that?”

Sydney put both her hands on her waist.

“Have you forgotten what Bryan told you?”

Helbram’s thinking.

“His the Goth Butler of Senior High Cafeteria. Since his shift is morning, you’ll disguise as Goth Butler. In afternoon, you’ll disguise as a maid, like we’ve agreed.”

“Wait, how long does this cafeteria goes on?”

Sydney thinks and shows her two fingers.

“Two weeks.”

Helbram shows signs of discomfort.

“Then, I have to undergo 2 make-overs in a single day, and repeat it for 2 weeks?!”

Sydney nods.

“You seriously gonna destroy my face!”

“Oh come on, your skin will be perfectly fine! You’re built like a soldier, I’m sure you’ll gonna make it.”

She prepares her cosmetics.

“Now, relax as I do my humble skills.”

Helbram rolls his eye.

“I can’t believe I signed up for this.”

He wondered as Sydney starts doing his make-over.

Hour later….

Sydney finished her task and Helbram’s face is hidden.

“Woah! You look awesome, Helbram!” She cheered. “Now, go and start wearing the Butler attire so we’ll head to the School before the clock hits 7.”

Helbram stood up.

“Fine, fine!”

Later….

5 minutes before the Cafeteria opens, there’s a mob of girls near the classroom. Most are hyped in taking selfie with this goth butler who’s standing at the entrance.

Sydney came out to enact order. “Alright girls! The grand opening of Senior High Cafeteria is now ready to serve ya!”

Crowd cheering.

“Do you like our Goth Butler? How about visiting our cafeteria and let this handsome butler serve his mistresses?”

“WAAAAAHHHHH!!!??? I want it! I want it too!”

They hurriedly entered the cafeteria. Sydney takes a peek and gave a thumbs up.

“Great job bribing female customers, Helbram!”

Helbram glares at her.

“I didn’t do anything, you greedy woman.”

Sydney giggles. “Oh, such words coming from our Cafeteria’s MVP!”

Helbram blushes. “Shut up!”

Sydney looked at the female customers.

“Say, some of those girls are mean to you in daily basis just because you’re a nerd in their eyes.” She put her hands on her waist. “And look at them now, swooping like a swarm.”

Helbram didn’t speak and she clapped. “Now, start entertaining our customers, dear butler. You can’t just stand here like a lifeless statue for an entire morning, ya’know.”

Helbram sighs. “Right… right.”

He starts tending the customers.

Ladies starts asking Helbram for a selfie.

"He— hello Mister! Ca— can I have a picture with you? Please?"

Helbram paused and remembered that girl. She's the one mocking him in the hallway.

"Sure."

He complied since he is merely doing his duty.

That moment on, they start rizzing him but he didn’t pay attention and start tending the other. "Hey handsome! Please give me your autograph! I could pay an extra service for that! Please!"

Some are asking his autograph but he didn’t give them or it’ll blow his cover.

"No... Sorry."

Suddenly, one of the girls posted their selfie on social media. Many are caught by Helbram’s attractive demeanor.

“Hey girls! Check out the Senior High Cafeteria! They have an unexpected guest that will treat you like a Queen! Also, he’s a hottie!”

Many commented thus, it caught Rose’s attention.

“Senior High Café? Isn’t that where Helbram is? And this Goth Butler, I’m pretty sure this is Helbram.”

She wondered and one of the SSC officers came, showing the same post.

“Look Pres! I didn’t know those guys recruit a decent-looking man! I wonder what degree is he?” SSC officer(1) starts rubbing her chin.

“His height seems to match those in College. But, I thought Senior High only accepts fellow Senior High student?” She starts getting excited.

“Eeep! I wonder who’s this guy though!” SSC Officer(2) looked at Rose.

“Hey Pres, how about we check on em?”

Rose shakes her head.

“Let’s perform our duties for now. The cultural fest just started. We can only relax when things are nearing to end.”

SSC Officer(1) pouts. “Pres., you’re no fun! I guess you really have no interest on hottie men, just females.”

SSC Officer(2) nods. “Agreed.”

“Anyways, let's start doing our task everyone.”

Rose and her fellow officers continue performing.

10:00 A.M.

Bryan dialed Helbram.

“Hey bro? How’s cafeteria going?”

Helbram sighs. “Don’t even dare to ask.”

Bryan chuckled. “Well, being a waiter is a tiresome work but you’ll get used to it.”

Helbram flinched. “Ye– wait… Waiter?” He looked surprised.

“Yes, waiter.” Bryan is slightly surprised.

“But I thought your role is a Goth Butler!?”

“What??! No, no bro! My role in cafeteria is only a waiter. There’s no such thing as– wait! Don’t tell me you’re…. you’re that goth butler which every girl fantasized about?!”

Helbram didn’t speak.

“Oooh! I can’t believe it was you! Like– bruh! You’re too attracting ya’know! Even in boys, they’re jealous and wanted to investigate you!”

“The – what??!” Helbram can't fathom what's happening.

“I want to secure a selfie bro! But sadly, my hands are full! The first stage of the culinary contest is about to begin! Time to hung up, byeee!!!”

Bryan hung up and Helbram’s in total shock.

“Helbram! Come inside, we need your aid!”

Helbram releasing a menacing aura.

“Pres, why didn't you say that Bryan's role is only a Waiter?”

“Whoops! I'm busted!”

She knocks her head and made a goofy look.

“Pres, you owe me a long explanation.”

Helbram glares at her but–

“ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'LL EXPLAIN ALL THE DETAILS LATER!” She panicked. “For now, I really need your assistance. These savage monsters are getting out of hand! Please!”

Helbram sighs.

“Why am I always the victim of deception?”

When the noon bell rings...

“Wew! What a haul! Thank you Helbr– !”

Helbram’s glaring.

“Okay, Okay! I admit I lied! And I feel terribly sorry for that!” She apologized.

“But, you see... The cafeteria and I discussed about putting cosplayer in our service to add fuel of interest.”

She made a fidgeting motion to her thumb.

“Please forgive me! Please!”

Helbram keeps glaring at her but later, he sighs.

“If that were the case, you should’ve told me about the entire idea. Not lie all the way round, ya’know? Either way, I accept your apology.”

“Though it’s a bit late.”

“Thank you so much Helbram!”

She felt delighted and she takes a look at the clock.

“Hmm… We still have an hour to prepare for the afternoon shift.”

“Oh, Helbram! There’s something I forgot to ask.”

Helbram shows signs of annoyance.

“What is it this time?”

“Do you know voice acting? Especially a feminine one?”

Helbram scratches his cheeks.

“Umm… slightly? Why do you ask?”

“You’ll be needing that in your next shift!” She smiles.

“So, what will be this maid’s personality?”

Sydney smiled. “Here’s an idea. The maid you’re gonna cosplay is– she’s a little violent.”

Helbram raised a brow.

“Oh? Like some sort of boyish?”

Sydney snaps her finger.

“Precisely!”

Helbram rubs his chin. “Hmm… Sounds good to me.”

“So, is the bet still on?”

Helbram didn’t speak and thinking.

“Ooh? Why a long face? Are you scared that once you lose, you and Rose will– ”

The cafeteria staffs were looking at them, making Helbram flinched and quickly covered her mouth.

“PWEEEHHH!!! What was that for?! Gross! Your hand's salty!”

Helbram releases her.

“Don't say it out loud, will ya?!”

Helbram’s blushing.

“Oh, I get it. Sorry about that.”

She wiped her mouth.

“Anyways, everyone! Me and our MVP Helbram is going to leave, preparing for afternoon’s shift. We’ll be back later.”

“Helbram, thank you for your hard work!”

Staff(1) bids farewell and Helbram didn’t respond, just the look.

“Hey, Pres Sydney! Go easy on Helbram!”

Staff(2) wishes them great and Sydney replied.

“Ooooh…hohohoh! I will.”

And so, all staffs bids them.

“Take care you two!”

And so, Helbram & Sydney left.
