Welcome to carino/carina!
Customers
I can't really see because of the curtains, but it definitely sounds like Airi Momoi and Haruka Kiritani are doing a shoot!
Customers
Yeah, I just saw in the news that they're both in a different idol group now. Do you think they're all here today?
Customers
Oh, what if this means they're gonna serve us...?! How amazing would that be?!
Airi
(Hehe. The customers sure all sound excited.)
Customers
Wait, where's Shizuku Hinomori...?
I became a huge fan after seeing a recording of one of the shows she was on. I really wanted to see her in person...

Still, this was a great idea.
How do you think they arrived on getting Shizuku to wear the male staff's uniform?

Airi
I guess it wouldn't have been all that interesting if we all just dressed as regular waitresses.
Airi
I thought we could do just that, but the stylist insisted she do this...
Haruka
Hehe. I see.
And she looks stunning. I'm sure the customers are going to really enjoy this.

Speaking of which, there's a nice area for taking pictures at the back of this cafe...
Airi
Why don't we go there?
You may or may not appear on TV if that's okay.

Haruka
Hehe. It's turned into a photo shoot all of a sudden.
Airi
Yeah.
But I don't mind as long as we can use this area. Here, we should be able to stay out of the cafe staff's way.

Airi
Also... I appreciate that you want to post them on PicShare, but please make sure to mention this cafe and TV program when you do!
Minori
Hehe. Everyone's having so much fun!
Mizuki
Yeah, they're so caught up in trying to take pictures that we've been getting less orders!
Mizuki
This is our chance to get everything out!
Saki
Yeah, we can't let Airi's efforts go to waste!
Mizuki
Right!
Also, Minori, thanks for jumping in to help with the kitchen! We feel so much better having you around.

Minori
No, I should be the one thanking you! Our shoot's been going well because you've all been doing such a great job so far!
Minori
Especially you, Mizuki. It's hard to believe this is your first day considering how many orders you've been handling!
Mizuki
If I'm gonna be honest, I was really worried in the beginning... But that massive pile of orders ended up being a good crash course.
Saki
Then, Mizuki, I've got a job for you!
I just finished working on the bottom halves of these parfaits, so mind doing the whipped cream for me?

After that, I'll need you to help decorate the waffles. But they still need some time to cook.
Mizuki
Okay!

I'm sorry that they took a little longer than expected to make. Things have been so busy today that, well... I hope it hasn't been too much of a bother.
Emu
No, we've been having a lot of fun! We were just talking about how this all feels like a big show!
Mizuki
I'm glad you're both enjoying things so much! And I really hope you enjoy these!
Hinata
Actually, I'm surprised at how cute these parfaits are. I can see why so many people would want to take pictures and show their friends.
Emu
Yeah!
I wanna take some for Nene and the others!

You're so talented.

And I guarantee that they taste amazing, so I really hope you enjoy them.
Emu
Yeah, then...
Emu
We promise to savor every bite of the parfaits you so lovingly made, Mizuki!
Mizuki
In that case...!
Bon appetite!
