Yes of course

“I-I’ll take the job, but can you give me a week or two before I start?” You ask rubbing your neck anxiously as you can’t believe you are actually saying yes to this.

“No worries, I’ll let you have a few weeks to get everything in order, in the meantime let’s get the paper work done so this can become official.” Josh then motions for you to follow.

Trotting behind him he leads you into a small hallway, which leads into a even smaller office. There take a seat at a chair in front of a desk, while Josh sits behind it, and boots up a computer. Then you both hash out the more boring details needed for the job, like your name, pay rate, days of work, and bank accounts.

“Okay that should be it.” Josh says, as he finishes typing away at his keyboard, and turns too you.

“Alright thanks for the job, and oh your probably going to want these back huh?” You say referring to your cat ears, and tail.

“Well you can take them home if you wish they are already calibrated to your brainwaves, no one else can really use unless they are recalibrated.” Josh says, speaking casually as he points at your tail.

Your cat ears perk up in surprise hearing this.

“Really, they seem pretty like pretty expensive technology to let employees take home.” You says, touching your ears as you still amazed that you can feel out of them.

Josh just shrugs nonchalantly.

“Yeah well if you lose them you’d be liable as said in your employee contract, so it’s no skin of my nose.” He smirks with a devilish expression.

“H-how much would that cost?” You stutter nervously hands still on your cat ears.

Josh looks up a second. He moves his fingers around in the air seemly doing a bit of mental math. Then coming to an stop he looks at you dead in the eye.

“One hundred million.” He announces in absolute an seriousness that lets you know he’s not just making up a number.

Hearing that amount makes you slowly lower your hands away from the ears. Calmly you then turn them off as well as the tail. Then you unclip the ears from your hair, and unhook the tail from your waist. Yeah your not risking having to pay that off, signing a contract basically means you would be screwed if anything happens to these ears, and tail. Though you don’t know much about your mom’s job as a lawyer you do know about liability wavers, and how iron clad they are.

“You know what I think I’ll just leave these here.” You say trying to not act so on edge as you place the ears, and tail on desk.

Josh chuckles taking the cat accessories in hand.

“Right probably a smart move.” He says then placing the two items into a draw in his desk.

“Haha, R-right.” You say giving an weak smile, and a small thumbs up the thought of having to pay all that money back still leaving a bit twitchy.

“Anyways I should get going...” You trail off rubbing your neck awkwardly.

“Alright then your first day will be Monday afternoon two weeks from then.” Says Josh giving you a wave off.

Then as you turn around, and just about as your poised to open the door to office Josh speaks once more.

“Hey, one more thing.” Josh calls out to you.

Turning back to look at him, you see he’s leaned back in his chair, with his feet on the desk.

“Welcome to the team.” He’s say giving you a smug grin, and a jovial nod.

“Yeah thanks.” You says wondering what the hell you’ve just gotten yourself into.

Trotting off you, quickly head back into the break room for a quick second to grab your back pack, which you find Cora, and Nico left near the couch you were resting on. After grabbing it you head back out to the front of the cafe, the good food, and cute neko maids making you wish you didn’t have to leave. Yet it also got you worried a bit. Looking around you see that the cat guys, and girls of the cafe play a pretty committed character. While you know your role at the cafe is going to be a bit more focused towards the ‘sensual’ side, you realize you still are probably going to have to develop some kind of personal flare of your really going to satisfy the customer.

“Nyah, hi master!!!”

Suddenly a hug from behind, and a shout interrupt your train of thought.

“Wah, whose- oh hi Nico.” You says as your eyes fall upon the familiar cat girl.

You give her a smile, yet as you look at her standing their with such a upbeat aura, you quickly find yourself frowning. Nico then cocks her head to the side noticing something is wrong she gives you a look of concern.

“Nyah is something wrong master, Nico sees you look upset.” The cat girls says as she looks at you with puppy dog eyes full of gentle consideration.

“Well it’s just I’m a little nervous about working here...” You speak with a wavering tone.

“Why master you showed Nico, and Cora a great time, you left us sooooo satisfied no one could possible resist how good you made us feel.” Nico chirps lightheartedly, nuzzling her face against your chest, as she snuggles up to you right in the middle of the cafe.

Quickly you pull Nico aside between two booths. Both so that you wouldn’t be in the way of other customers, and so that you wouldn’t make such spectacle of her grind against you in the middle of the cafe.

“No, no, it’s not that.” You insist as you hold Nico at arms length for a second so that she isn’t rubbing all over you.

The cat girl then looks at you confused.

“Then what master?” She asks cocking her head to the side again, as she puts a finger to her lips in just the cutest little poise.

“Well i-i- it’s I’m just not sure I can find the right you know attitude that would umm endear me to the customer.” You speak hesitantly trying to find the right words with

Nico’s eyes then flash with a look recognition that seems beyond her cutie character. Her demeanor then seems to shift a bit, and you can tell she’s letting her real self starting to slip through in order to help you.

“Well master what Nico did is that she researched what kinds of things people who come to this cafe like.” Nico motions to all of the anime stuff around the cafe.

You nod looking at all of the anime decorations.

“I then Nico took inspiration from characters, and tropes to chose a personality that both masters, and mistresses would like, and Nico felt confident that she could pull off.” Nico smiles happily explaining the process to you.

Yeah that makes sense people come her to meet cat girls, and boys. A trope in anime brought to life, it only makes sense to try, and imitate some characters, and aspects from that media.

“I see...” you say already staring to think back to some of the more iconic characters you’ve seen in what little anime you’ve watched.

“Yeah just find your niche, master I’m sure there’s some character you can excel it being.” Says Nico dropping the persona momentarily enough for her to even refer to herself in the first person.

You nod to yourself starting to feel not so anxious about this whole thing.

“Hey Nico quit your flirting, we got a table waiting for waiter get over here.” A brown haired cat boy calls over to her.

“Nico’s coming!!” She calls back.

Before she does though Nico gives you a quick affectionate peck on the cheek.

“I’m sure your’ll do great master, Nico’s super glad your working with us.” She talks in sweet voice before running off to the cat boy.

You then put a hand up to your cheek where Nico kissed you. A pleasant buzzing feeling lingering where her lips touched your skin. This sensation, and Nico’s advice making you feel like you could really do this. Not only that, but you can actually be great at this. Determination building in you, an eagerness flares up as you think off all the possibilities.

Pumping your fist, you smile as you quickly rush out the door of the cafe. It’s time you got home, and did your research for what kind of cat boy you were going to be.
