“Special Edition: Concept Cafe Le Ciel" - CHAPTER 1"

▋Kumon: Whew~ Talk about a fun day, amirite!
▋Muku: Yeah! It's been so long since you guys came over; my family were so thrilled to see you both again!
▋Juza: We were glad to see them again, too.
▋Kumon: But the most exciting part about today was definitely visiting that cafe near Muku's house!
▋Juza: Was that your first time there, too, Muku?
▋Muku: Mhm! I heard about the newly opened cafe before, but today was the first time I got to see it.
▋I've been curious about it for a while now, so I'm really glad that I got to go there with you two!
▋Kumon: Same! I'm soooo glad I went with you and Nii-chan, too!! Not to mention their food— it was amazing!
▋Juza: They had an insane number of dessert options to choose from.
▋Muku: The staff and guests were so comfortable to be around as well. The store's whole atmosphere was so relaxing; oh, it was such a wonderful cafe.
▋Juza: We should all drop by 'gain someday.
▋Kumon: We should totally! And when we do, I'll have to try the other stuff that I couldn't pick this time!
▋Muku: Fufu. I did notice you were staring hard at the menu the whole time today, Kyu-chan… Hm?
▋Juza: What's the matter?
▋Muku: That person over there… Isn't that the owner of the Actors' Cafe?
▋Owner: Ah! You guys are from MANKAI Company, right? What a coincidence!
▋Muku: Good afternoon.
▋Juza: G'day.
▋Kumon: What are you doing around here?
▋Owner: I had business to take care of in the area. I was just heading home, actually.
▋Speaking of, I heard about how well-received the concept cafe was— the one your company helped out with for their limited-time Easter event.
▋Muku: Ah! Are you talking about the one with the "Bunny Butler" theme?[1]
▋Owner: That's the one. I'd really like to thank you again for that time. It was sincerely all thanks to MANKAI Company's help.
▋Juza: The gratitude's ours… We'll let the others know when we get back home.
▋Kumon: The three guys who helped out seemed to have had a lotta fun with it, too!
▋Muku: Right? Arisu-san especially had a lot to say about the cafe.
▋Owner: Really now? I'm pleased to hear that.
▋Actually, because of the help from before——

▋Kumon: We're hoooome!
▋Tsumugi: Welcome back.
▋Homare: Oh, what's this? Did the three of you go somewhere together?
▋Muku: Yes! We all dropped by my family's home.
▋Kumon: Woah, what do you know; the same three people are already here!
▋Juza: Seems like it.
▋Sakyo: What're you talking about?
▋Kumon: We actually bumped into the owner of the Actors' Cafe just now!
▋Tsumugi: Really?
▋Banri: Hooh. That must’ve been some timing.
▋Muku: He was talking about the "Bunny Butler" concept cafe that Banri-san and the others helped out with before, and how much of a big hit it was.
▋Juza: He said he really ‘ppreciated the help again.
▋Kumon: Yep! Said it's all thanks to MANKAI Company's support!
▋Sakyo: Well, now. Looks like you three deserve some praise, huh?
▋Tsumugi: Even though I didn't get to help each day of the event, I'm still glad to hear it was such a success.
▋Banri: Guess with a theme like bunnies and butlers, how would it not turn out big?
▋Homare: Indeed. I heard only a bit of it from the owner myself, but apparently, the cafe had full seats every day.
▋Muku: Apparently so. I would've loved to have seen everyone's bunny butler outfits, too.
▋Kumon: We were hella busy at the time. There was barely any opening in our sched's to check it out at all!
▋Juza: But it looks like there’ll be another chance, though.
▋Tsumugi: Another chance…? What do you mean by that?
▋Banri: That concept cafe was only in business for the Easter season, wasn't it? S'not like they're still running, right?
▋Homare: That is what I recall as well, yes.
