Hey, what do you think they're doing at that booth over there? It's all covered in curtains!
Customers
Oh, when we came in, one of the waiters said that they're gonna be doing a shoot for TV or something here today.
Customers
Wait, really?!
That means some celebrities are here, right?!

This is the show that airs late at night on Wednesdays, right?! I sort of have this attachment to it since I watch it all the time while I'm working on stuff!
Airi
Now then!
Today, we're visiting a cafe called “carino/carina” located on Main Street in Shibuya!

Lately, their new Mount Everest strawberry parfait has been going totally viral on social media.
Haruka
I saw some pictures and couldn't believe what I saw. It really is a mountain of strawberries and whipped cream.
Manager
Yes!
Not only does it look spectacular, it also tastes wonderful.

Manager
So, bon appetit!
Airi
And all these strawberries...
This has to be a month's worth... No, several months worth all in one place.

Minori
At the same time, I get why everyone wants to post their pictures on social media. It looks adorable!
Airi
(Minori in particular is doing a good job of acting like it's her first time here. I was worried at first that her reactions wouldn't feel natural...)
Airi
Anyway, let's start digging in!
Also, we should have the camera do a close-up of the first person to take a bite.

Ah, thank you for noticing that!
We try to make the whipped cream not too sweet since that can become heavy and tiresome after a while...

As for the strawberries, we tried many kinds until we found a cultivar that helps create the balance you just mentioned.
Airi
Hehe. Alright, since Shizuku just gave us a good shot of her enjoying this, let's join her!
Haruka
It's really nice mix of sweet and sourness. I could eat a whole pile of these. How's the custard...?
Haruka
I like how the top and bottom halves leave different impressions in terms of taste. The part with the cornflakes and custard is nice and refreshing.
Manager
Hehe. Thank you very much.
I'm glad you're all enjoying it so much.

Haruka
I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but I don't see myself getting tired of this parfait anytime soon...
Haruka
That being said, I'll have to exercise quite a lot starting tomorrow if I'm going to work this all off.
Minori
Oh nooo!
That's way too cute, Haruka! My brain's gonna overload if you keep saying stuff like that!

Airi
(I'm not sure what Haruka means by “exercise quite a lot”, but I get the feeling that she has a pretty grueling workout schedule in mind...)
Shizuku
Have you had some yet, Airi? There might not be anything left for you if you don't hurry.

This is one of her 1,000% Happy Idol Mode skills! She always looks so cute whenever she eats anything!
Mizuki
Y-Yeah, you can sorta tell she's doing it on purpose, but I can see how this would make someone's heart flutter...!
Shizuku
Thank you so much, Airi!
It's been so long since I'd last seen you do a Happy Snacker!

To be fair, this was originally meant for when I had to eat or drink really strange stuff like natto juice or wheatgrass stew for variety shows...
Saki
*Sigh*
I'm so glad I was scheduled to do this shift. I'm never gonna forget what I just saw for as long as I live...

And it's not as busy as I was expecting it to be. I'm starting to feel bad about being paid for this!
Saki
We do have a group coming in later, but it's pretty calm today. We should be able to handle everything...
