Toya

Thank you very much for the delicious lunch and coffee, MEIKO.
2

MEIKO

Listen

Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Good luck with practice.
3

Kohane & An

Listen

Thank you!

4

MEIKO

Hehe. They seemed to have no problem getting through all the colorful veggies I included in the special lunch.
5

MEIKO

Listen

(Although, tomatoes and carrots would've gone a long way in terms of balancing out the colors...)
6

MEIKO

(At the same time, it'd be pretty mean of me to include them since I know certain people would rather not have those things.)

MEIKO

Listen

Oh, Miku, welcome.
8

Miku

Listen

Hm? I thought Kohane and the others would be here. Did I just miss them...?
9

MEIKO

Yes, they went off to practice just a moment ago.
10

Miku

Okay...
11

MEIKO

Listen

But since you're here, would you like some coffee?
12

Miku

Listen

Yes, that sounds nice.
I'll take a cafe au lait.
13

MEIKO

You got it.
14

MEIKO

Listen

By the way, An and Kohane are supposed to work as models tomorrow.
15

Miku

As models?
16

MEIKO

Yes. An's playing a bride with Kohane supporting her as a bridesmaid.
17

Miku

Listen

Oh, An's the bride?
What kind of dress do you think she's going to wear?
18

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. I knew you'd be curious.
So, I asked them to bring by some pictures once they're ready.
19

Miku

Good call.
20

MEIKO

However, one thing is bugging me...

Sound Effect: Play

21

An

Listen

A long time ago, I saw an actual bride on Vivid Street...
22

An

Listen

Like you, MEIKO!
She seemed so beautiful, mature and collected!
23

An

Listen

I'm reminded every time of that moment when I think about what a bride is... I don't really fit the bill, do I?
24

Miku

Listen

Oh, she believes she doesn't fit the bill...?
25

MEIKO

Listen

Yes. Speaking of which, Miku, what image comes to mind when you think about brides?
26

Miku

Hm? Nothing all that specific...
Someone who's dazzling and full of joy...?
27

Miku

Listen

But I also think the individual matters quite a bit when it comes to “being a bride”.
28

MEIKO

Right...
I sure hope An doesn't take what she said too far...
29

Miku

If you feel the need, why don't you visit them during the shoot tomorrow?
30

MEIKO

Listen

But that means I'd have to close up shop...
31

Miku

Listen

Don't worry. I'll keep things running while you're gone.
32

MEIKO

Wait, Miku, you will?!
33

Miku

Yes. Well, to be fair, I'll only be able to serve coffee and the sandwiches I've learned how to make.
34

MEIKO

Listen

Th-Thank you, Miku.
I really appreciate the offer...
35

MEIKO

(But Miku using the kitchen knives all by herself... No, I can't go knowing that it could actually happen...!)
36

Miku

Listen

Hmm... I guess just sandwiches and coffee wouldn't really count as keeping this place running, huh?
37

MEIKO

Listen

That's not entirely true...
However, I wouldn't want you getting hurt doing something you're not really used to...
38

MEIKO

(Looks like my visit's a bit out of the question now.)

Rin

Listen

Hiya! We dropped by for a visit!
40

MEIKO

Listen

Welcome, Rin.
Oh...!
41

KAITO

Listen

MEIKO, can I get my usual...?
42

MEIKO

KAITO! Perfect!
There's something I need you to do for me!

43

KAITO

Hm? Me?
44

MEIKO

Listen

Yes! You're the only person I can ask, KAITO!
45

Miku

MEIKO and I were just talking about how she could make some time to visit An and Kohane tomorrow.
46

Miku

Listen

And if it'd be okay for me to keep this place running in her stead...
47

KAITO

Listen

Wait, Miku, you?! In charge?!
Does that include serving the food...?
48

Miku

Yes, but all I'd be able to serve is coffee and the sandwiches MEIKO taught me to make.
49

KAITO

Are you sure about this, MEIKO?!
50

MEIKO

I mean, I really appreciate Miku's offer... But I'd rather not see her get hurt by trying to do something she's not used to...
51

Miku

Listen

But I really don't think you have to get so worried about me making some sandwiches.
52

KAITO

Listen

Hold it right there!
They're not just “some sandwiches” in this case!
53

Miku

Oh, right. MEIKO does put a lot of thought into them, so it's wrong for me to devalue them in any way...
54

KAITO

Huh? Um, yes! That's right!
As long as you understand.
55

MEIKO

Listen

So, KAITO... Would you mind keeping Miku company tomorrow while she keeps this place running?
56

Miku

Listen

I'd prefer it if you were here as well.
57

KAITO

Listen

Okay, understood...
The two of us should be able to handle everything!
58

MEIKO

Really?! Thank you so much, KAITO!
59

Rin

KAITO's gonna be running things?!
Len and I might have to stop by tomorrow to see that.
60

KAITO

Wait, you're not going to help?
61

Rin

Listen

I mean, what's the point of running a shop if you don't have any customers?
62

KAITO

Listen

Haha. Point taken!
63

MEIKO

Listen

Thank you for making such a kind offer, Miku.
64

Miku

Don't mind me.
I just ask that you be there for An and the others tomorrow.
65

MEIKO

Listen

Yes, I promise to do just that.
