Rolling in...!
Four, three...

Hey, everyone! Ready to catch another...?!

Big wave?!

Cowabunga!

Let's see what's hot right now!
It's trend surfing time!!!

Hey, what do you think they're doing at that booth over there? It's all covered in curtains!

Oh, when we came in, one of the waiters said that they're gonna be doing a shoot for TV or something here today.

Wait, really?!
That means some celebrities are here, right?!

This is so cool!
I get to see a TV shoot take place literally right in front of me!

I know, right?!
And everyone in MMJ's sooo cute!

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!

Oh, really?!
I didn't know it aired so late at night!

Yeah, it's been gaining a lot of traction lately!

And as fun as it is to see them shoot an episode, I can't wait to see it on TV♪

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.

I saw some pictures and couldn't believe what I saw. It really is a mountain of strawberries and whipped cream.

And we get to try it today, right?!

Yes!
Not only does it look spectacular, it also tastes wonderful.

So, bon appetit!

O-Oh my...
It's much bigger than I was expecting...

And all these strawberries...
This has to be a month's worth... No, several months worth all in one place.

Don't forget the whipped cream...
I'm really glad we decided to split it.

Yeah, I doubt one person could ever eat all this!

At the same time, I get why everyone wants to post their pictures on social media. It looks adorable!

(We're off to a good start.)

(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...)

(But she's on a roll...!
So, let's keep this fun going!)

Anyway, let's start digging in!
Also, we should have the camera do a close-up of the first person to take a bite.

B-But who...?

Heh heh heh.
Eeny, meeny, miney...♪

Looks like Airi's choosing.

Just go with the flow!
Anyway...

Shizuku!
Show us what you got!

Okay!
Then, without further ado...

Hehe. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how it tastes...

It's delicious...!

I worried that it'd be too sweet because of all this whipped cream...

But the strawberries' tartness balances it all out! It's a wonderful combination!

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.

Wow, so quite a lot of work went into this...

No fair, Shizuku!
I wanna try it too!

Hehe. Alright, since Shizuku just gave us a good shot of her enjoying this, let's join her!

Oh, yes!
Then, I'm also gonna start digging in!

It's so yummy!

How do the strawberries taste?

Oh, um...
Th-They're really good!

It's really nice mix of sweet and sourness. I could eat a whole pile of these. How's the custard...?

Y-Yeah... It's delicious!

This isn't just a matter of replacing words with others that mean the same thing.

But this really is good.
Like Shizuku said, it's very nicely balanced.

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.

Despite how big it is, I can't seem to put down my spoon.

Hehe. Thank you very much.
I'm glad you're all enjoying it so much.

I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but I don't see myself getting tired of this parfait anytime soon...

That being said, I'll have to exercise quite a lot starting tomorrow if I'm going to work this all off.

Oh nooo!
That's way too cute, Haruka! My brain's gonna overload if you keep saying stuff like that!

(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...)

Have you had some yet, Airi? There might not be anything left for you if you don't hurry.

Yes, you should try some.
It really is delicious.

Then, stop moving your spoon towards your mouth!

*Sigh*
They're probably gonna finish this whole thing themselves at this rate.

I think this calls for a Happy Snacker. It's been far too long.

Happy Snacker?

Whaaat?!
W-W-W-W-We get to see you do a Happy Snacker?! Right here...?!

Hold up...
What's a Happy Snacker?

It's one of Happy Everyday's skills!
Whenever she eats something...

Then, without further ado.

Mmm. This is so yummy♪

This is one of her 1,000% Happy Idol Mode skills! She always looks so cute whenever she eats anything!

Y-Yeah, you can sorta tell she's doing it on purpose, but I can see how this would make someone's heart flutter...!

Thank you so much, Airi!
It's been so long since I'd last seen you do a Happy Snacker!

Yeah, same!
It's been so long that I'm so moved!

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...

But this is beyond delicious!
I'm a Happy Snacker in every sense!

*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...

Me neither! I really gotta thank Airi again for inviting me to work here!

And it's not as busy as I was expecting it to be. I'm starting to feel bad about being paid for this!

Haha. Yeah, I get what you mean!

We do have a group coming in later, but it's pretty calm today. We should be able to handle everything...

Oh, more customers!
Hello! Welcome to... Huh?

Excuse me!
We have a reservation for a group of eight under the name “Fujin”!

Wh-What?! A group as in a group of...?!
