[color=0072bc][i][b]“F*** A DUCK!” [/b][/i][/color]

This angry roar was followed by the sound of a plastic object hitting a wall and breaking into pieces. Ayato glared at the broken gamepad while raggedly breathing before moving to pick it up and throw it into trash and then he sat on the sofa and took out a cigarette. With the familiar sensation of the smoke filling him up, Ayato calmed down and his breathing returned to normal. On the TV screen across the game he was playing was still on, but Ayato just blankly looked at it, as if it wasn’t there. Once the cigarette was finished he put it in the ashtray and stood up to connect a new gamepad to the console. However, just as he was about to sit down and continue playing a familiar sound reached his ears. 

Ayato indifferently looked out of the window on his right at the red-coloured sky. [color=0072bc][i]“A job, huh?”[/i][/color] he muttered to himself before standing up once more and turning the console off. Then, he walked to the bookshelf on one of the nearby walls and pulled out a few books. With a click the wall behind the shelf opened like a door, revealing a secret compartment. Inside one could see all manner of firearms neatly arrayed. With practiced movement, Ayato put on a shoulder holster, took two pistols, checked them up and then put them into holsters. Afterwards he left the hidden room, hid its entrance again, put on a jacket and left the apartment. 

There wasn’t actually much of a distance between Ayato’s flat and Dengeki, but he still took his bike- there’s bound to be running around the city. If you wonder how Ayato felt about getting job contracts in the maid café, he never really minded it. In fact, he found that he quite liked the place. He never really held interest in maid cafes when he was just a regular person, but he must admit he found the appearance of Shiina and Ikkime in their maid uniforms pleasing.  Ugh, no, this is just a natural reaction, he’s not a creep, okay? OKAY?! 

Once at maid café, Ayato saw that he wasn’t the first one to come. Some Chasers he knew were already there and even a few unfamiliar faces.
