Fruit Parlor - Chapter 4 Next Chapter

Mitsuru

Good news, Tsukasa-chan! I talked with the people at cash register and they said we can play with it if we want. So, here you go~☆

Tsukasa

Wha! When did you even....?

Tsukasa

Anyway, let's see. It's true, there are star signs on the sphere. My birthday is April 6th, so I'm an Aries.

Tsukasa

There's a Coin slot over each star sign, so I guess I just need to put the coin in the slot. ...hmm ☆

Tsukasa

Eug......Aurgh...i-it won't go in! It just keeps getting stuck at the end. I'll just have to force it in some more!

Yuta

If you keep doing that, it's going to break...Hmm, I think the slot is meant for 100 yen coins, not 500 yen ones.

Yuta

I'm a Pisces, so I'll insert a coin here, and it starts spinning...and out comes my horoscope fortune.

Yuta

And the verdict is....Big Luck. It says, "Everything I do will turn out great today."

Mitsuru

Imma try too! Okay, I put the money in here and- Oh, it starts spinning around and around! How fun, hahaha~☆

Mitsuru

Score! Big Luck, the same as Yuchan's! It says my money's in good condition. That's so accurate. How cool~☆

Tsukasa

Okay, I'm also put a 100 yen in....I wonder if it'll be Big Luck like you two, hehe. This is so exciting ♪

Tsukasa

And it is....! Wha? What in the world is this? Small Luck? Why am I the only one with Small Luck?

Tsukasa

Aurgh, stupid machine! Ostrisizing me from my friends....! Fine, I'm going to keep inserting coins until I get a Big Luck!

Tsukasa

Damnit, Small Luck again! This time it'll be a...Medium Luck! So close! It's gotta be the next one. Okay...Small Luck?! Why? This is so frustrating....!

Mitsuru

Tsukasa-chan, it's getting to your head now. If you keep putting coins in like that, you're gonna go broke.

Mitsuru

There are horoscope fortunes everywhere on the table. Why don't we call it quits, Tsukasa-chan?

Tsukasa

Yo-you're right. I know it's time to stop. This will be the last one. Won't you kindly let me have this one?

Yuta

You really promise this will be the last one？

Yuta

I didn't think you're the type to get worked up over little things like this, though. Yay, I found something new about Tsukasa-kun ♪

Tsukasa

Wait, no- I swear I'm usually much more Elegant than this!

Tsukasa

You just caught me in a bad mood today, I guess. No...that's not it...I mean, I'm usually not like this!

Tsukasa

I mean, it's not that I'm in a bad mood since I'm hanging out with you two. I'm just getting so upset that this machine is toying with me....

Tsukasa

Wait, what's this? Big Luck?

Tsukasa

Excellent....☆ My hard work has paid off! I finally get to reap the benefits of my labor by getting a Big Luck.

Tsukasa

Er, it says, "You, with Big Luck, will have good health."

Tsukasa

Well, that's sort of boring.....

Tsukasa

I take that back, good health is important! I can take my horoscope fortune back home with me, right?

Tsukasa

Alrighty, let's put my Big Luck fortune aside carefully so it doesn't get mixed up with the others when I take it home.

Mitsuru

Oh! They're carrying our food orders over ze. But there's no parfaits ze. What's going on?

Mitsuru

Oh okay, they said it takes time to make all the parfaits, so they're bringing out the curry and the Wiener coffee first.

Mitsuru

Is it okay if we start eating first, Tsukasa-chan?

Tsukasa

Of course! I don't mind. In fact, I'd feel horrible if you all have to wait because of me. Please go ahead.

Yuta

Alrighty, I'm digging in....Oh my, this is good! The spices blend together wonderfully. I could just eat this all day.

Yuta

The curry was a right choice! I'll have to make a memo of the other light meals they have.

Yuta

And they have such an abundant selection of sweets. I wonder if I should come with my Aniki sometime.

Yuta

I think we might have found a wonderful place ♪ There aren't a lot of places that fulfill the sweet and non-sweet food item criteria.

Mitsuru

Ha? Huh....? Huuuuuuuh.....?

Yuta

Why are you glaring at your cup of coffee so intently, Misturu-kun? Is there like trash or something in it? Should I call the waiter over?

Mitsuru

It's weird, Yuuchan! I ordered a Wiener coffee, but I don't see no wiener in here ze.

Mitsuru

Is this white foam a wiener? Or maybe it sank to the bottom?

Mitsuru

Let's find out by drinking it ze.

Mitsuru

Ack! I burned my tongue ze. Water! I need water!

Mitsuru

*Sob* There's no wiener in it ze! And now I have a sour taste in my mouth. I think I've just been had ze!

Mitsuru

Tsukasa-chan, you okay? You're awfully deep in thought....

Tsukasa

It's just that, I've never heard of a Coffee that has Wiener in it.

Tsukasa

I think the word Wiener comes from Austria. The capital of Austria is Vienna and Wiener actually means Viennese in German.

Tsukasa

And Viennese Coffee has Whipped cream in it. In Japan, we call this Wiener- er I mean wiener coffee.

Tsukasa

So that's why I'm guessing you thought it was a coffee with wieners in it.

Tsukasa

It's easy to mistake if you didn't know that, though.

Mitsuru

I didn't know that at all ze. I totally just learned something new~. You know so much, Tsukasa-chan. I completely admire you.

Mitsuru

It sucks that there's no wiener in it, but it's full of whipped cream. I bet that's delicious ze.

Mitsuru

I'll just use this spoon and mix it up! Haha, I created a whirlpool ze. A whirlpool~☆！

Mitsuru

Eugh, it's....bitter?

Mitsuru

Bleh, bleh.....it's extremely bitter! Is coffee supposed to be this bitter....?

Mitsuru

Give me your curry, Yu-chan! I need to taste something quick so the bitterness doesn't take over my whole mouth ze!

Yuta

Okay, but let me warn you, I like spicy...so it's pretty spicy.

Mitsuru

I'd rather have something spicy, as long as it get's rid of this bitterness in my mouth right now- *Nom*

Mitsuru

.....Spicy!! Now I don't know whether it's spicy or bitter in my mouth ze. Water, I need water! *Gulp*

Mitsuru

Phew! Water is so delicious, I'm relieved. I think I'm done with this Wiener coffee, I'll just have water.

Tsukasa

I should have warned you that Wiener coffee doesn't have wieners in it. That was my fault. Sorry, Mitsuru-kun.

Mitsuru

No, no. I came up with that idea all on my own, so it was my bad. No need to apologize.

Mitsuru

*Sniff* I think I smell something sweet?

Mitsuru

I bet that's the parfaits you ordered. Just smelling that sweetness has revived me to 100% ze~♪
