"Special Edition: Concept Cafe Le Ciel" - CHAPTER 7

▋Izumi: To think it's already opening day! Are you guys nervous at all?
▋Guy: We're doing well here.
▋Muku: I'm a bit nervous, but after the owner explained to us about how to serve the customers, I feel like I'll be able to do it…
▋Kumon: Let's do our best! Muku! Nii-chan!
▋Juza: Yeah.
▋Staff: Is everyone's preparations all set? Now then, let me explain today's procedures once again.
▋In the first two hours after opening, we will be accepting a limited number of guests in. We'll be taking photos of you as you entertain the guests.
▋Don't worry— The customers who will come in during this time period have made reservations with the knowledge that we'll be having this photoshoot, so we've already gotten their consent.
▋Now that I think about it… The slots for reservations were sold out almost immediately after we opened the window, didn't we?
▋Owner: Haha, it sure did. But that's certainly a good thing.
▋Guy: It must be thanks to highly-received reviews that the bunny butler event got— the one that Tsukioka-san and the others helped with before.
▋Juza: (Which also means Settsu had a hand in that… I ain't gonna lose to him.)
▋Sakuya: Then just like before, we're gonna do our best to give them a service that'll make them come back to the cafe again!
▋Owner: It's almost time to open the shop. Everyone, please work hard!
Troupe Members: Yes!
▋Izumi: Right. I'll be observing over at that side there, so if you need anything, just let me know.
▋Sakyo: Got it.

[ENTRANCE BELL RINGS]
▋Izumi: (Here come the customers. We'll only have a few of them for the first two hours after opening, so they're letting them come in by two's for now…)
▋Guest A: I've returned home.
▋Izumi: (That guest seems to be acting along to match the concept cafe's setting by playing a young lady.)
▋Juza: Welcome back, young miss.
▋Kumon: We have been waiting for your return.
▋Juza: Please allow me to guide you to your seat.
▋Guest B: Good afternoon.
▋Guest C: We made a reservation, so…
▋Muku: Welcome back, young miss, young master.
▋Sakuya: Let us take you to your seats. Please, this way.
▋Guest D: Servant, I've returned.
▋Sakyo: Welcome back. We've been waiting for your safe return.
▋Guy: You must be quite exhausted from your errands. I shall take you to your seat right away.
▋Izumi: (It looks like everyone's handling everything well, thanks to all the practice they've been putting in.)
▋Cameraman: Alright. That takes care of the escort set of photos.
▋Staff: Then let's move our focus to the tables next.
▋Izumi: (The photoshoot seems to be going smoothly too, thank goodness.)
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Izumi: (Oh? It looks like Juza-kun and Kumon-kun are about done with escorting the customers out.)
▋Kumon: Please watch your step.
▋Juza: We will be awaiting your return, young miss.
[ENTRANCE BELL RINGS]
▋Staff: Good work today, everyone! That wraps up today's photoshoot.
▋We'll be able to make a great article for the special column with this, so please look forward to it. We'll be taking our leave from here, please excuse us.
▋Izumi: Thank you very much! Can't wait to see the finished article!
▋Owner: Everyone. There's still a little bit more time left until the next round of reservations will be welcomed in, so please feel free to use the remaining minutes as you please.
▋Sakyo: Alright.
▋Juza: Director.
▋Izumi: What's the matter, Juza-kun?
▋Juza: Was I… able to use my keigo properly? I feel like I did alright, but I wanna hear what your thoughts were while watchin' us…
▋Izumi: You were perfect! Even though you ended up returning to your usual speech at first, you were able to talk like a real butler today.
▋Juza: That so… That's good then.
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Owner: The next round of reservations are coming, please get ready!
▋Guy: The tables and chairs have been properly adjusted back into place.
▋Izumi: I'll be going back to the rear side of the room, so just let me know if you need me, alright?
▋Juza: Sure thing.
▋Izumi: Keep it up with the amazing service, everyone!
▋Muku: We'll do our best!
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
[ENTRANCE BELL RINGS]
▋Sakyo: Welcome back, young miss. Please allow me to lead you the terrace seatings.
▋Sakuya: Please let me hang your coat for you, as well.
▋Kumon: Here's your seat, ma'am. Please wait while I bring you a lap cover.
▋Guy: Would you care for a second serving of your tea? We've prepared a special flavor just for you, young miss.
▋Muku: I am your dear servant after all, young miss. If there's anything that troubles you, I'm here to ease them for you.
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Juza: Your plate of Black Panther Pasta, as you requested.
▋Guest E: Thank you. Ohh, it looks so delicious…!
▋Juza: The chef made it especially for you, young miss. Please, enjoy your meal.
▋Guest F: Uhmm…
▋Juza: Is something the matter?
▋Guest F: I'd like to make my order; one order of the Koala-Shaped Meat Sandwich, and one set of the Bear's Mini Choco Cakes.
▋Juza: As you wish.
▋Guest G: Uhm… About that Black Panther Pasta that the other table ordered— is it the spicy kind?
▋Juza: Yes… I would say it's quite on the spicier side.
▋If you are not good with spicy foods, may I recommend the Japanese-style Tanuki Pasta instead?
▋Guest G: Yes, I don't deal with spicy stuff that well… I'll take your recommendation then— One order of Tanuki Pasta, please.
▋Juza: As you wish.
▋(Looks like I managed to be of help to them… Really glad I took the time to review my stuff.)
▋Guest G: Ah! Can I order one more thing, actually?
▋Juza: Please, feel free.
▋Guest G: Can I have this mini parfait here? The one with that's just like you— with the wolf motif.
▋Juza: (...!!)
▋Thank you kindly. Would you like for us to serve your mini choco cake set and mini parfait after your main dish?
▋Guests: Please and thank you!
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Juza: (...Looks like Guy-san's on break.)
▋(Which means no one's on standby at the terrace area, right? I should check things out over there.)
[FOOTSTEPS WALKING AWAY]
▋Muku: ……

—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Guest H: Hmm…..
▋Juza: (That guest staring at the menu… She seems pretty troubled…)
▋(It’s already been a while since she got escorted here, right? …Maybe I should check in on 'em.)
▋Young miss, have you decided on your order?
▋Guest H: Ah! So sorry! I can't be taking my time when my reservation hour is limited, can I…
▋Juza: You are fine. I was merely wondering if there's something troubling you, ma'am?
▋Guest H: Well, to tell you the truth…
