Waiter

Listen

Thank you for visiting.
2

Cafe Customer

Listen

That was a really nice cafe!
3

Cafe Customer

Listen

Yeah, the tea and anmitsu were both really good!
4

Shiho

Listen

Seems like we should be able to get inside soon...
5

Saki

Listen

I can't wait to see what this cafe's like.
You found this one, right, Shizuku?
6

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, in one of the magazines.
This cafe was apparently renovated from an old Japanese-style house.
7

Shizuku

Listen

It even has a long porch that runs adjacent to the garden, which means we'll be able to have some tea while enjoying the greenery.
8

Tsukasa

Listen

Tea by a garden... That sounds exquisitely Japanese! I can't wait!

Waiter

Listen

Thank you for your patience.
You're our group of four, yes? Please follow me.
10

Shiho

Listen

Oh, we get to go in.
11

Waiter

Listen

Here are your seats.
12

Shiho

Listen

Thank you very much.
13

Shiho

Listen

(Oh, interesting. We're supposed to sit by letting our feet hang outside over the edge...)
14

Shiho

Listen

(And they really did take an old house and turn it into a cafe.)
15

Shiho

Listen

(It actually kinda feels like our house...
But I've been to a cafe that felt like this.)
16

Shiho

Listen

Let's see... I think they're going to place our tea on these tables and trays, so why don't we all sit side by side and—
17

Tsukasa & Saki

Listen

...
18

Shiho

Listen

What's wrong?
19

Tsukasa & Saki

Listen

It's...
20

Tsukasa & Saki

Listen

It's really by the gardeeeeeen!

21

Shiho

Listen

You're both that moved...?
22

Saki

Listen

Yeah, I mean!
I've never been to a cafe where you let your feet hang over the edge while gazing at a garden!
23

Tsukasa

Listen

Me neither...!
I was completely under the impression that there'd be tables and chairs! To think that we'd be sitting on the floor like this!
24

Tsukasa

Listen

We get to enjoy this lovely breeze while having tea... How fantastic is that?!
25

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. I'm glad you two like it here so much.
Then, why don't we sit in pairs and place a table between us?
26

Saki

Listen

Hehe...
It's sunny, nice... And I'm having such a great time.

27

Saki

Listen

I wish we could do something like this at home.
28

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, it would be nice to relax as a family at home like this.
29

Tsukasa

Listen

Based on what this cafe has to offer...
What if we had tea on the veranda?
30

Saki

Listen

Oh, great idea!
We should ask Mom and Dad about this.
31

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, it would be nice to give them a chance to relax for a change!
32

Shizuku

Listen

They seem to be enjoying themselves quite a bit.
33

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, so I guess this place is a hit.
34

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. Anyway, enough about them...
35

Shiho

Listen

Huh?
36

Shizuku

Listen

Open wide, Shii. Say, “Ahh.”
37

Shiho

Listen

Not happening.
I don't need your help with my anmitsu.
38

Shiho

Listen

Come to think of it, you've hardly eaten any of yours.
39

Shizuku

Listen

That's not true. And really, I'm feeling very full after watching you enjoy your treat.
40

Shiho

Listen

There you go again...
41

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe...
It's been so long since we spent time together like this.
42

Shizuku

Listen

You were so busy preparing for that festival.
43

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, true.
44

Shiho

Listen

But you know...
We could do something like this at our house...
45

Shizuku

Listen

Yes, we have a porch like this at home, so we could have tea there.
46

Shizuku

Listen

But we can't really see much beyond the walls around the garden.
47

Shizuku

Listen

I think enjoying people-watching and gazing at the scenery is the best part of this.
48

Shiho

Listen

Hmm...
49

Shiho

Listen

(Is it really that big of a difference? I don't really get it, myself...)
50

Shizuku

Listen

For example, that family over there.
They seem very close, don't they?
51

Shiho

Listen

Huh?
52

Shizuku

Listen

The little girl is tugging on her father's hand. She seems so eager to get to where they're going.
53

Shiho

Listen

Yeah.
She's pulling so hard that it almost looks painful...
54

Shiho

Listen

(She's right. There are a lot of different people here.)
55

Shiho

Listen

(Those people over there seem like a group of friends. They're having fun taking pictures together...)
56

Shiho

Listen

(The person next to them is having yakitori alone. Is it from the stall over there...?)
57

Shiho

Listen

(Oh, three pieces in one bite...
That's starting to look really good.)
58

Shizuku

Listen

Doesn't this look like a piece of art?
59

Shiho

Listen

A piece of art?
60

Shizuku

Listen

Yes. All these different people are here enjoying this village and making their own precious memories...
61

Shizuku

Listen

You can see all that just by sitting here...
62

Shizuku

Listen

Which is why this view feels like art to me, and I think it's really wonderful.
63

Shiho

Listen

A view that looks like art, huh...?
64

Shiho

Listen

(I never would've thought of it that way.)
65

Shiho

Listen

(From my perspective, I just saw a bunch of people going about their daily business...)
66

Shiho

Listen

Yeah... It is a nice view.

Rin

Listen

(Oh, Shih's smiling...)
68

Rin

Listen

(Also...)
69

Rin

Listen

(She seems more relaxed than usual.
This is perfect☆)
70

Rin

Listen

(And having tea by a garden like this seems like so much fun!)
71

Rin

Listen

(I should ask Len to see if we can do something like this in SEKAI☆)
