*Sigh*
I'm so bored.
Why'd Dad have to go and say that...?

Ken

Listen

You just performed in a series of tough events. Knowing when to take breaks is important, so no practice tomorrow.
3

Ken

Listen

I'm sure you know what that means.
No singing tomorrow. Period.
4
(Yeah, I know what he's looking out for us, but no singing...? Not even a peep...?)

MEIKO

Listen

Here you go, An.
A refill for your coffee.
6
Oh... Thank you...
7

Miku

Listen

You seem bored.
Are you not sure how to spend your time when you're not allowed to sing?
8
I mean...
Until now, I'd spend whatever time I had practicing on my own or helping my dad...
9

MEIKO

But he closed the cafe, which eliminates that option.
10
Exactly. I'm super bored...
Wait, I know!
11
What if I worked here, MEIKO?!
Would that be okay?!
12

Miku & MEIKO

What...?

Luka

Miku, MEIKO, I came to hang out... Wait, huh?
15
Oh, Rin, Luka!
Welcome♪
16

Rin

An?!
You're working here now?!
17
I can't practice today, so I thought I could work here instead!
18

Luka

Listen

Really?!
Then, we came at a good time♪
19

Rin

Listen

Hehe. Lucky us!
20
Haha!
Then, I'll show you to your seats!
21
Okay, here's some water.
Do you two know what you wanna order?

22

Luka

Listen

Oh, I want my usual blend!
But I'm also pretty hungry, so... I'll have a tuna sandwich and a grilled cheese!
23

Rin

Listen

I'll have some milk tea and the fruit waffle sandwich!
24
Okay, coming right up!
25
MEIKO, I need Luka's usual blend, a milk tea, a tuna sandwich, a grilled cheese and a fruit waffle sandwich!
26

MEIKO

Listen

Got it. Thank you.
27

Miku

Listen

You seem right at home, An.
I don't think there's anything I need to teach you.
28
To be fair, I've been doing this forever now. Plus, I always get to see how you and MEIKO run things around here.
29
So, I want you to take it easy today♪
30

Miku

Hehe. Then, I think I will.

31
Oh, welcome!
Huh?
32

Toya

Listen

Shiraishi?
33
Come on in, Toya!
I'll show you to your seat! Follow me!
34

Toya

Listen

O-Okay...
Are you helping out here today?
35
Yup! Remember how my dad said we're not allowed to sing today? I was bored out of my mind, so I decided to give back a little by helping out here today.
36
Anyway, you want your usual blend?
37

Toya

Listen

Yes, and some cookies.
38
Okay!
Oh, that reminds me...
39
MEIKO!
The cookies are almost ready, right?
40

MEIKO

Yes.
41
Just give us a minute, Toya, and you'll get to have some fresh-baked ones. Want me to bring out your coffee when they're ready?
42

Toya

Listen

Yes, that sounds nice.
43
Then, I'll take the cookies out of the oven! MEIKO, can you take care of the coffee?
44

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. Thank you for being so quick on your feet, An. I really appreciate it.
45

Toya

Listen

Still... Shiraishi, it feels like it's been so long since you last waited on me like this.
46
It does feel like it's been forever! After all, we've been spending all our time practicing, and Dad closed our place down!
47

Rin

An! Can I order some more stuff?!
48
Oh, coming!
Enjoy your visit, Toya!
A few hours later

MEIKO

Okay, it's getting pretty late.
Why don't you stop here for the day, An?
50
Huh? Oh, you're right!
I didn't realize what time it was!
51
I was having so much fun helping you, MEIKO, that I completely lost track...
52

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. Thank you for helping me today, An.
53

MEIKO

So, as a small token of my appreciation, I'd like you to have some pancakes on me.
54

MEIKO

Listen

As a special treat, I'll throw lots of fruits on top, as well as a mix of whipped and custard cream.
55
Wait, really?! Are you sure?!
56

MEIKO

You were a huge help today, so I'd like to reward you properly with a nice helping of food. So, Miku, let's also take our break now.
57
Woohoo!
Time to dig in♪

Sound Effect: Play

58
Still... Waiting tables really is nice!
59
Especially because you get to see firsthand how your customers are liking their food and enjoying their visit!
60

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. That should also be true of the events you perform in.
61
Oh... You're right!
If the crowd reacts well, that can be a huge boost of energy...
62
And seeing them bounce off the walls is seriously the best feeling in the world...!
63

Miku

Listen

Then, you'll need to make that happen during your next event.
64

MEIKO

Yes, I hope you, the others and the audience all get to have lots of fun.
65
We will! These pancakes are gonna be the fuel I need to keep doing my best!
