Today, we'll once again be doing preparations for the School Festival!

To start, I'd like to ask those who have brought plushies, animal goods and such to gather with me.

Let's all do our best today!

Yeah!

(Okay...)

Oh, Ichi!

We should ask everyone to see what they think of the things we brought!

Right. But it'll probably need to wait a bit since there might be some people who brought plushies.

Hoshino, do you have a second?
I brought some plushies with me...

You did?! Thank you so much, Kiritani!

To my surprise, not many others did, so I really appreciate it.

I see.

As for me, I brought mostly penguins.
I hope that won't warp the image of our cafe...

Oh, Haruka, can I take a look at your plushies?!

Of course.
They're right here.

Wow! So many penguins!
And they're all really adorable!

Our animal cafe's gonna look so cute!

At the same time, we're going to need some other animals. I'm worried that our animal cafe's going to turn into a penguin cafe.

(Oh, they also brought some bags.
But it doesn't look like they're full of plushies...)

Did you two also bring some animal goods?

I bought some animal ear headbands after Saki suggested that we should. I'm a little embarrassed about wearing one, but shall we try them on together?

Animal headbands?

Ta-daa!
Here, have a look!

Oh, they're animal ear headbands.
I'm seeing rabbit ears, dog ears, cat ears... They're all very cute.

I know, right?!

Saki was saying how we should dress up as animals since our classroom's going to be filled with them.

That makes sense. We're doing an animal cafe, so it might be fun for everyone in class to be dressed as different ones.

Yeah. So, we decided to go around to some party goods stores and buy an assortment of things.

Hehe. Having everyone wear these adorably furry ears is such a great idea if I do say so myself♪

We even got some tails!
Hang on... Here! You can be a doggy or a kitty!

Oh, they're really fluffy too.
They almost feel like the real thing.

Wanna try one on? All you really have to do is put on a headband and the belt for the tail!

Okay, let's try some on.

Awesome! Which animals should we pick?

Hmm... Kiritani likes penguins, but...

They didn't have any penguin headbands...

So... What else would suit her...?
Something simple might actually be the best option...

Then, how about a cat?
I bought a set for a black cat that looked fairly straightforward.

Oh, I bet she'll look great as a black kitty! Haruka, if you will!

Okay, one second.

The ears should be good here...
As for my tail... How do I look?

Perfect!
They both suit you really well.

Now, Haruka, try waiting tables like a kitty cat♪

L-Like a cat?

A cat, huh... M-Meow...

W-Welcome...meow...?

Whoa! That was amazing!!!

It was?
Then, I'll try a little harder this time.

Try harder...?

“Welcomeow♪
What would you like to have meow?”

...

Um... Is something wrong, you two?

Y-You're...

I'm...?

Blindingly bright!!!

How do I describe it?! It's like we were just swept away by a torrent of happiness and sunshine!

Y-Yeah... This must be what Minori's always talking about. Kiritani's idol aura...

Hehe. You're exaggerating.

No, we aren't!
We talk to each other every day, so we're used to being around you. But what about our customers?! They might not be able to handle your power!

I agree... Also, I'm not sure I could do that even if someone asked me to...

Oh, right... Some people might not feel all that comfortable with talking like a cat or dog.

The ears and tails are already plenty cute, so why don't we just talk normally to our customers?

I agree.

Thank you for trying them on for us, Kiritani. You taught us quite a lot just now.

Yeah, totally!
And we got to see you as an adorable kitty cat! Thank you so much!

You're welcome.
I'm glad that I could help.
