Hehe. Let's all share.
Here, take a napkin.

Airi
I've got the spoons and forks right here.
Mizuki
Thanks, Airi!
Mizuki
*Sigh*
I'm surrounded by friends and get to have all this delicious food. And I'm getting paid...?

Airi
Hehe. Call it a reward for a job well done.
Airi
Seriously, thanks for doing this.
I'm really glad I asked you, Mizuki.

Hehe. You're welcome♪
And thanks for choosing me!
And thanks for choosing me!
Mizuki
Also, I'm super glad that I said to you guys how I wish I could try on this cafe's uniform.
Airi
Yeah. I might not have asked you to do this if you hadn't.
Two weeks earlier
Airi
Wow! Cakes, parfaits, souffles...!
This sweets menu's got everything!

Ena
Isn't this place great?
Their lunch menu's really good, but everyone comes here for the sweets.

Mizuki
Whoa, hold up.
Don't forget who told you about this place originally.

Ena
I know.
But I deserve some credit for saying that we should come here together.

Shizuku
Hehe. Very true.
So, Ena, thank you for inviting us.
So, Ena, thank you for inviting us.
Airi
Yeah, and sorry for flip-flopping on you so suddenly. I really didn't think we could go at first.
Ena
No, that's totally fine.
The appointment you had today got postponed, right?
The appointment you had today got postponed, right?
Airi
Yeah, they had to call it off because one of the other personalities apparently had a scheduling conflict.
Mizuki
Haha. That means we should thank our lucky stars. We left this day open just in case.
Waiter
Welcome. Here's some water to start. Please press the button once you're all ready to order.
Mizuki
Okay♪
Ena
Hey, why do you keep staring at all the staff...?
Mizuki
Hehe. I really like their uniforms. They're so cute.
Mizuki
Dress shirts and aprons are pretty standard, but how cute are those ribbon ties?
Ena
What do you mean? Striped ribbons don't seem all that out of the ordinary to me...
Mizuki
I know, but theirs are all a little different to each other. Some are gathered, while others have a bit of lace on them!
Airi
Oh, you're right...!
That waitress' tie has some lace on it.

Shizuku
Your eyes are so sharp, Mizuki.
I never would've noticed.
I never would've noticed.
Mizuki
Heh heh heh. I always keep an eye out for cute uniforms♪
Ena
Still, I'm not sure how I feel about you staring at them the way you have...
Mizuki
Hey, don't make it sound like I'm some sort of weirdo. I'm simply appreciating their fashion choices.
Mizuki
Oh, speaking of cute uniforms, the ones from that other cafe were also really adorable!
Shizuku
Other cafe...? Oh, do you mean the one where Minori works?
Airi
If you're talking about pale blue dress shirts, white aprons and blue ribbon ties, then yes.
Mizuki
Yeah, that's it!
Mizuki
I've always wanted to try on a cute uniform like the ones they wear. Even if it's just once.
Ena
Then, why not just start working at a cafe?
Mizuki
True, but I love clothes in general♪
So, I'll stick with apparel shops since that means I get to be surrounded by them.

Airi
Yeah, I get what you mean. It must be nice to be surrounded by the things you love.
Airi
So, how was it?
Did you enjoy working while wearing that uniform?
Did you enjoy working while wearing that uniform?
Mizuki
I've got no complaints about the uniform! It was so comfortable!
Mizuki
I also enjoyed working here.
Things did get a little crazy there for a second, but decorating parfaits and stuff was really fun.

Airi
Okay, that's good to hear...
Airi
(But things did get pretty hectic back there... So hectic that they didn't get to take any real breaks...)
Airi
(Mizuki got to wear this uniform and is gonna get paid, so that's technically two birds with one stone, but...)
Mizuki
Airi...? Is something wrong?
Airi
Oh, um...
Airi
Hey, I know...!
We should hang out together sometime! Just us!
We should hang out together sometime! Just us!
Mizuki
Wait, just us?
Airi
Yeah. We haven't done anything together yet just by ourselves, right? So, what do you say?
Mizuki
Yeah, I'd love to! That sounds really fun!
Mizuki
My schedule's pretty open, so just let me know when you wanna hang out! That day's totally fine too. I'm usually awake around noon.
Airi
Hehe. Thanks.
In that case, you'll hear from me then.
In that case, you'll hear from me then.
Mizuki
Great! I'll be looking forward to that♪
Shizuku
Hm? Airi, Mizuki, have either of you tried this pasta yet? It's very good.
Airi
Oh, we were talking so much that we forgot about the food.
Mizuki
Yeah, let's go dig in!
