"Special Edition: Concept Cafe Le Ciel" - CHAPTER 8

▋Guest H: To tell you the truth… I have allergies to certain ingredients…
▋But the menu only has the dish names written down on it, so I've been extra cautious of what to choose…
▋Juza: (Food allergies…)
▋Guest H: I'm really sorry to have troubled you.
▋Because of my condition, I normally go to stores that already have ingredients written on the menu, so that's what I've been used to…
▋When I saw the posts and reviews about the Bunny Butler cafe on social media, it made me want to try this place at least once. It looked so amazing.
▋Juza: Is that right? Thank you for coming, then.
▋Our sincerest apologies for not taking allergies into account of our menu listing… After all the trouble you've taken to come to us, too...
▋Guest H: No, please don't apologize! It's not like it's an obligation for it to be written down on your menu or anything.
▋Besides, it's on me for not double-checking before making my reservation.
▋Juza: (I never looked that much into the ingredients at all. And I can't just give some thoughtless answer when it might endanger someone's life like that…)
▋(Got no choice but to ask the kitchen staff. What would a butler say in this sitch' though…)
▋Guest H: Maybe I'll just settle for some tea in the end.
▋Juza: (Ain't no time to be ponderin'. I was taught to not keep a guest waitin'—)
▋… Please excuse me, but may I inquire what food allergies you have?
▋Guest H: Anything with poultry is no good for me. It used to be only with eggs, but now I can't consume anything that comes from chicken at all.
▋Juza: … Poultry allergy, then. I appreciate you answering the question.
▋(Now that I think 'bout it, there's eggs in my parfait recipe. Muku's cake set too…)
▋Muku: Uhm, excuse me. Pardon me for listening in to your conversation…
▋But if it's alright with you, I can tell you about our dishes that don't use any chicken or eggs in them?
▋Juza: (Muku…?)
▋Guest H: Ah… Yes, if you could please.
▋Juza: (Muku must've done his own research 'bout the ingredients then. I can probably just leave the rest to him.)
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Muku: — And that should be every dish and dessert we have without poultry ingredients in them.
▋Guest H: Thank you so much! It was such a big help!
▋Alright. Then I'll have the Black Panther Pasta and the Horse-Shaped Sherbet. For the drink… I'll have this tea here.
▋Juza: As you request. As extra caution, we will raise to the chef about your allergy as well.
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Guest H: The food was so amazing! I had such a great time here.
▋I really appreciate that you noticed me when I was troubled. Thank you so much.
▋Juza: It was nothing; the pleasure was mine.
▋Guest H: Please pass my thanks to the other butler as well— for telling me about the non-poultry menu items in your store.
▋Juza: Of course. I'll make sure your words of appreciation reaches him, young miss.
▋Guest H: I'll drop by again! Well then… I'll be off.
▋Juza: Take care, young miss. We will be eagerly awaiting your return.

▋Juza: Muku. There you are.

▋Muku: Ah, Ju-chan.
▋The owner mentioned that the shop will close in about an hour. There were no more customers in the terrace area, so he asked me to clean up all the tables here.
▋Juza: I see. Lemme lend a hand.
▋… Thanks for helpin' me out earlier. That lady told me to give you her thanks.
▋Muku: That must mean she left the store in a good mood, right? Thank goodness…
▋By the way, did you let the owner know about that incident?
▋Juza: Told 'im as soon as I could. Seems like he'll be giving the menu a rework to make sure they've got the common allergy ingredients written down.
▋Muku: That's good to know. That'll make it easier for people with allergies to order without worries, then.
▋Juza: Yeah.
—— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— ——
▋Juza: Right… That takes care of everythin' out here. We should be headin' back in.
▋Muku: Yeah… Oh? Ju-chan, hold on for a second.
▋Juza: What's up?

▋Muku: Just stay right there…
▋Juza: —What're you doin'?
▋Muku: Hehe, the wolf ears were sliding off.
▋Juza: Huh. Since when…..
▋Muku: It must've been starting to slip while we were cleaning up?
▋Juza: I wouldn've noticed that myself.
▋Muku: — Alright. That should do it.
▋Juza: Thanks for that.
▋Muku: No worries! There's still some time left before the store closes. We've got to do our best being Animal-Eared Butlers until the end.
▋Juza: Yeah. We have to carry out our butler roles 'till the last second.
