MEIKO

Listen

What to use for today's special blend...? Ah, let's go with this.

MEIKO

And then I need to... Oh?

Listen

Hello, MEIKO!

Kohane

Listen

Um... Is this a bad time?

MEIKO

Listen

An, Kohane, welcome!

MEIKO

Sorry, but I'm not quite ready to open yet.
Please, take a seat. It won't be too long.

Kohane

Listen

Oh, actually... We're not here as customers today.

MEIKO

Listen

Huh?

Kohane

Listen

You've already done so much for us, MEIKO, so we've been trying to come up with some way to pay you back.

Kohane

Listen

So would it be okay if we helped out with the cafe?

Listen

We really want to help as long as you're okay with it and don't think we'll be too much of a bother.

MEIKO

Hehe, so that's why you came so early! Okay. In that case, you could help me get ready to open.

Kohane

Listen

Yes, of course! Thank you!

Listen

No problem, MEIKO!
Just tell us what needs to be done.

MEIKO

Listen

The tables need to be wiped, the floor mopped... Oh, and we also need to get the cups and saucers ready...

Kohane

Listen

The cups and saucers?

MEIKO

Yes.
I change them out from time to time.

Kohane

Listen

Oh, I see! I didn't know!

Listen

Looks like that caught your interest, so I'll do the tables and floors then, okay?

Kohane

Listen

Really? Thanks, An!

Listen

No problem. MEIKO, can I borrow that cleaning cloth?

MEIKO

Listen

Be my guest.

Kohane

Listen

Excuse me, MEIKO.
Which cups and saucers should I get out?

MEIKO

Hehe. Pick any design you like, Kohane. There are six of each, and make sure to give them a wipe with a clean cloth.

Kohane

Listen

Okay! Hmm... Oh, wow.
These antique ones are so cool!

Kohane

Listen

Okay, so now I just need to wipe them...

Kohane

Listen

MEIKO, like this?

MEIKO

Listen

Yes, just like that. You're doing great.

Listen

MEIKO, I'm done wiping the tables.
Where can I find a mop for the floor?

MEIKO

Oh, it's at the back, over there.

Listen

Got it!

MEIKO

Listen

(Hehe. Their differences in personality really show through here.)

MEIKO

(Kohane's very careful and precise.
An's independent and full of initiative.)

MEIKO

(It also makes a big difference that An's used to working at a cafe like this.)

Kohane

Listen

Phew... I finally finished cleaning one set.

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. There's no rush, so you can go at your own pace.

Kohane

Listen

Thanks, but seeing the way An works makes me want to do better too.

MEIKO

Oh? Why's that?

Kohane

Listen

Because I'm her partner.

Kohane

Listen

I owe her for getting me into singing and encouraging me to be braver.

Kohane

Listen

She has this dream that she's chasing relentlessly, to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

Kohane

Listen

She's amazing in so many ways that I'm not.

Kohane

Listen

But at the very least, I want her to be proud that I'm her partner.

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. You like her a lot, don't you?

Kohane

Listen

Yes!

MEIKO

(Amazing in ways that she isn't, huh...)

MEIKO

Listen

Thank you and good job!
It was a breeze with your help!

MEIKO

You've earned yourself a little treat. Here's a cup of today's special blend coffee for each of you.

Listen

Oh, really? Are you sure?

Kohane

Listen

Thank you, MEIKO.

MEIKO

Listen

You're very welcome!
Please, sit down and relax.

Kohane & An

Listen

Okay!

Listen

Hey, Kohane. When I went to get the mop, I overheard you telling MEIKO that you like me a lot?

Kohane

Listen

Oh, you heard that...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Listen

Hehe. I love you too!

Sound Effect: Play

Kohane

Listen

Wah...!
Hey, that tickles...!

MEIKO

Hehe.

MEIKO

Listen

(Right now Kohane's learning a lot from An...)

MEIKO

(But one day An may find out that Kohane has her own unique strengths that she can draw from...)

MEIKO

(These two, together with Akito and Toya, are shaping up to be a team with a huge amount of potential...)

MEIKO

Listen

I can't take my eyes off of you guys at all...
