Salon de Thé - Chapter 6 Next Chapter

Kaoru

Woo, found a cute girl here! It must be my lucky day today!

Kaoru

Anzu-chan~ You're not waiting for anyone, are you? If not, why don't we have tea together?

Kaoru

You're looking forward to enjoying the limited-time Tea Set?

Kaoru

Why, it must be fate that we're meeting here like this, For us to get a chance to enjoy dessert together and to deepen our friendship♪

Kaoru

What? You've already ordered a Tea Set already? That's a shame, I'm just a moment too late.

Hajime

Is that Hakaze-senpai......? It is! Hello~♪

Kaoru

Ya Ho~, Hajime-kun. I see you're helping out the cafeteria staff and you're even wearing an apron. Good boy, good boy!

Hajime

He he he....I'm actually doing a school part-time right now! Anyway, are you here for the dessert set too?

Hajime

It's limited-time only, so if you want that I'll let Akehoshi-senpai know right away.

Hajime

Aside from that, you can also order what you can normally get from the ticket vending machine.

Kaoru

Haha! Well, there's been a lot of commotion about this dessert set.

Kaoru

On the poster, it says, "Don't miss the chance to eat Chocolate Fondant made by our school's cute Idol!!"

Kaoru

I'm guessing you're the cute idol?

Hajime

Wha-No...I mean, it's true I did help make the Chocolate Fondant.....

Hajime

But I wouldn't say I'm cute or anything....what's up with that......

Hajime

Err, that was written there before I went to help in the kitchen....

Hajime

It's like it appeared out of nowhere...

Hajime

Well for me, no matter how cute the boy is, it's still made by a boy. I'd way rather have something handmade by a girl.

Kaoru

Like if Anzu-chan handmade something, for example....By the way! Where did Anzu-chan go?

Kaoru

Oh, phew! There she is...she disappeared for a second and scared me there!

Kaoru

Why is Anzu-chan wiping the tables down? I didn't think she was involved in the school part-time job, right?

Hajime

Anzu-san, don't take my work away from me~ Besides, you're a customer, it'd be bad if you did our work....

Hajime

I was so busy with bringing orders to everyone that I didn't have time to clean the tables. I was waiting for it to die down a bit....Though really if I think about it, even if it slows down, it might just get busy again.

Hajime

So I should really just clean up right away afterward and so customers feel good about the place.

Hajime

Hmm, you also want to help out too....?

Hajime

So, seeing us work so hard is really invigorating your working spirit and you feel like you can't just sit back and relax.

Hajime

But Akehoshi-senpai and I applied for this school part-time position.....We can't just have you wrapped up in our work too....

Hajime

A break? Well, no, we haven't been able to have a break since the job started......

Hajime

It's true it got really busy starting with you as our very first customer. But it's died down quite a bit now.

Hajime

So now, let's see, we will have to clean up. Washing the dishes isn't part of our job description, but we shouldn't just leave the dishes around...

Hajime

You'll also help with that too? I know you keep saying that, but I really don't know if you should be doing any of this, though...

Kaoru

Hmm, okay, well how about this?

Kaoru

You'll do everything you need to do, like clean the tables and all. Then after that, you can leave the rest to me and Anzu-chan ♪

Kaoru

Mhmm, yup, I know you want to ask why I'm also helping out too, right, Anzu-chan?

Kaoru

Well think about it, both Hajime-kun and Subaru-kun started this part-time job at the same time. So if you and I take over for both of them for a bit, then both of them have time to rest! Am I right?

Hajime

But doesn't that cause a lot of work for both of you? It's not like Hakaze-senpai, you came to the cafeteria to do work. The same goes for Anzu-san too.

Kaoru

But I get to be together with Anzu-chan this way. That's the best part for me, you know~ ♪

Kaoru

You can leave the cooking to me too! A guy gets points for being able to cook, right? Plus, I can make desserts too!

Kaoru

Hahha! So what do you think, Hajime-kun? Seems like there's no objection from Anzu-chan.

Kaoru

I bet the cafeteria staff won't object to it either! I mean hiring part-time workers and not giving them a break isn't a good image for the industry. If we put it that way they'd be horrified.

Hajime

Come to think of it, Akehoshi-senpai also hasn't gotten a break either since we started working. Is it really okay for us to take you up for your offer?

Hajime

Okay, we will take you up on your offer! Let me run you through ropes. Hakaze-senpai, you'll have to bring out the orders, and then you'll have to clear the tables......

Hajime

Wait a minute, I thought Hakaze-senpai called me over to order a Tea Set. Was I wrong about that?

Kaoru

Nono, you're right. I'll take one Tea Set! Hmm, what should I do about the drink? I got it- I'll have a herb tea with the set.

Hajime

Alright, Herb Tea with the set. Anzu-san, if you want a refill on the Black Tea, just let me know anytime, okay?

Hajime

If you're finished with the cup, you can just leave it on the table. I'll bring over a new set over.

Kaoru

By the way, Anzu-chan, where are you even sitting? .....Your seat's over there with Morichi? Oh, I see, I see him over there....Mmm. could it be that you guys are on a date?

Kaoru

Ooh I see, Subaru-kun asked you to sit with Morichi 'cause he seemed like he was bored and alone, I get it now.

Kaoru

*Nod nod* Yeah I was thinking there'd be no way you'd be on a date with him. I mean it's Moricchi we're talking about here! Okay, I feel better now ♪

Kaoru

If I'm not intruding, can I join you guys too?

Kaoru

The more the merrier, you say...Haha, I wonder if you really see us as guys here?

Kaoru

Well, whatever, I guess that's the kind of thing that makes you, you.

Hajime

Ummm, so I'll just bring over the Tea Set to that table over there then.

Hajime

Our peak hour's passed, so it shouldn't be a long wait.

Hajime

I'll bring your Chocolate Fondant and Herb Tea right over! Hope you'll enjoy it!
