Chapter 216 – Ikemen Part-Timer #2
“What should I put on my hair?”
Miyuki came up to me and complained as I was applying wax to strengthen my hair.
I guess I don’t like to look good to someone.
When I put my waxed hand out in front of Miyuki’s face, she backed away half a step in disgust.
Looking at her like that, I asked her while washing her hands, bursting out laughing at her pick her.
“It ends before dinner tonight. Would you like to watch a movie together?”
“Huh.”
It’s pretty to see her answering with a brightened face, as if she hadn’t complained when.
“Then stay home. I’ll pick you up when I’m done.”
“Okay. You want to leave now?”
“Uh. You should wear a coat too.”
“Why me?”
“I’ll take you home and go.”
“Then aren’t you late?”
“Not late.”
“Then put it on.”
When Miyuki often acts cute like this, she feels as if she is living a newlywed life.
I’ve never done it, though.
After putting a thick padding on Miyuki, I held onto her hand and went to the car.
After dropping her off at her house, she headed straight to her cafe and parked in her staff parking lot.
Anyway, why is the name of the cafe ‘Cafe 24’?
It’s not even a place open 24 hours… What about the naming sense?
In the corner of the parking lot, where no one was there until he entered, the boss appeared at some point.
I approached him and bowed slightly.
“Hello, I went to work.”
“Welcome.”
The boss who accepted the greeting looked sideways at my car.
You seem to recognize that it’s a moderately expensive car… Do you think your parents bought it for you?
Or do you think it’s Kapoor?
I don’t know what happened.
“This is a work card. I registered your information, so take a picture there. If you forgot to take a picture, you can tell me when you went to work, but I have to take a picture if possible.”
In the car, the boss who caught my attention held out a plastic IC card to me.
Many stores use paper time cards, but this one is quite up-to-date.
“All right.”
“After filming and changing clothes, I can start working.”
I swiped my card into the machine the president pointed out and went into the locker room.
A light blue shirt with dense blue stripes and a brown apron hang on it.
It was the uniform I would wear in the future.
It’s a strange combination, but I thought it looked strangely suited, so I changed my clothes and went to the counter.
Afterwards, I briefly reviewed the things I learned yesterday with the president.
It was a little staggering, but the boss nodded his head loudly, as if he liked me for making drinks and using force machine without clogging.
“You’re good. Inoo has to go to work in an hour, right? Can you do it alone until then?”
“I have confidence, but I think it would be good to see the first order.”
“Okay. Let’s go in.”
I came into the cafe with the boss, and I played calm music on my laptop that was turned on.
Then, while drinking a drink prepared as a trial, I had a conversation with the boss, and when the first customer arrived, I greeted him with a smile.
“Welcome, this is Cafe 24.”
“Uh…? Hello…”
Seeing me, she hesitated and then sneaked up to the counter.
Looking at the menu table at the top of her inside, she glances at me, her face apparently sniping at her taste.
“May I take your order?”
“That… A mocha latte, please…”
“I ordered a mocha latte. Would you like something warm?”
“Yes…”
“How about the sugar content?”
“Just plain…”
“Are you going to eat?”
“No, takeout…”
At the checkout counter, her upper body was slightly pushed forward, and the face of the customer who looked at me with a smile as she asked me about this and that, slightly heated up.
The reactions of the extras that are common in love comedies… It’s very thrilling.
Also good looking is the best
“Has confirmed. It is 450 yen. Do you have a coupon for our cafe?”
“No…? I came here for the first time today… Do you have a coupon?”
“There is. I’ll give you one.”
I held out a piece of coupon paper the size of a business card to the customer and continued.
“If you order from the drink menu, we will stamp one for each menu, and if you collect ten, you will receive one free regular-sized drink.”
“Anything?”
“Yes. I’ll give you anything. No matter what kind.”
“I see…”
“I’ll help you with the calculations.”
“Ah yes…! With a card…”
A guest carefully holding out a card.
Accepting it, I finished the payment with a bright smile.
“Thank you for your order. I’ll make it right away.”
“Yes…!”
Mocha Latte. It is one of the relatively easy menus.
First of all, espresso is extracted first, and in the meantime, milk is steamed in a dedicated container.
After that, pour the extracted espresso into a paper cup, squeeze the chocolate syrup twice, stir well, and slowly add the steamed milk to mix with the espresso.
Finally, cut off the milk injection once and add it again to make white foam rise.
There are a few bubbles, but it’s not like latte art, so this is great.
After finishing the latte, I put the paper holder in the cup and asked the boss who was watching me still from the side.
“Boss, can I put an additional stamp on the coupon?”
“Why?”
“Since this is my first guest, I want to instill a good image so that next time I come again. He is the only customer right now, so I don’t think there will be any issues with fairness…”
“Okay? Do whatever you want.”
“Yes.”
After receiving permission, I called the guest who was sitting in an empty seat and looking this way.
“Mocha Latte is here.”
Since it was my first order, I made it with great care.
You seem to be an office worker, but if you see my face shimmering while working, please come back and spread your legs.
There’s a surveillance camera, but it’s not in the warehouse, so you’ll have to do it inside.
“Thank you…”
“Thank you, enjoy your meal. Oh, and I’ll stamp it.”
“A seal? I already have one…”
“You said you were the first guest, right? Please come again next time…”
I lowered my voice even though there were no other customers in the store.
It was to make it look special.
You shouldn’t say that you take extra pictures for granted. This is the most important.
“Oh really…?”
A customer who gives out a coupon.
After giving her a purple round stamp with the name of her café on it, I let her go and looked at her boss.
His complexion was very bright.
I was satisfied with the process and the result.
“Done.”
In particular, I think I liked the shy reaction of the guest.
If you see him muttering such words in a tone that reminds him of that.
“What?”
“Ok? No. I think you can do well enough by yourself, so don’t go to the store next door. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me right away. It’ll be at the store next door, so just dial the extension number once. Call me even when I’m suddenly very busy, and you know how to use a vibrating bell, right?”
“Yes.”
“I get it. This is Inoo’s IC card, so when you come, tell him to take a picture.”
“Yes, please go in.”
“Okay.”
The president goes to the gyudon shop wagging one hand.
It seems like I’m being engulfed in capitalism a bit, but it’s like trying to treat me comfortably, and silently watching what I’m doing…
He is a rare likable character. Let’s not even think about wife netorare.
In any case, it was successful in impressing the boss.
For the time being, I will work passionately and make the boss completely trust me.
So that he trusts me and looks less at the camera in the store.
**
The back door opened with a slight creaking sound.
While memorizing the location of the menu on the force machine, I greeted Lenka as she entered while squeezing the bottom of my eyes.
“Hello.”
“… Hi. Who is the boss?”
“I went to a gyudon shop. Take this, shoot it on that machine, change into a uniform and come out.”
“Okay.”
Lenka, who obediently stamped her IC card into the machine, entered the locker room, and she came out about three minutes later.
Wearing a dress shirt that was just the right size, her arms stand out.
Why do you look ugly just by looking at her arms? Should I go to the hospital?
Anyway, seeing her wearing the same outfit as mine makes her feel strange because it looks like her couple look.
Lenka was also a bit hesitant, probably thinking the same thing as me.
I said, thinking that she was a little girl.
“What are you doing? Not coming.”
“Ah, yes… How many guests have you had?”
“About ten people.”
“Is it less?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Were there any problems?”
“There was none except for one customer who asked for a decaf latte.”
“A latte without decaf…? Didn’t you say decaffeinated latte wrong?”
“That’s right.”
“So how did it go?”
“I told it well and it went naturally.”
“I’m glad. But you… Why do you look bad?”
Lenka asks a random question.
I narrowed my brows as if I was saying something strange and asked back.
“What is your expression? Am I okay?”
“No, not good. Did something bad happen today or yesterday?”
You’re trying to talk about the notes you shared at Anyshare.
I can see it clearly, I see it.
“No, why are you forcibly making other people’s expressions disturbing? Are you okay?”
“Okay…?”
It’s still going to be long.
Throw more rice cakes.
“Why are you sorry? Do you want something bad to happen to me?”
“Who said he was sorry? I have severe delusions. Ever since…”
“Last time?”
“Day before yesterday…”
If it was the day before yesterday, it was the time of Comiket.
Lenka is stepping into her tiger’s den with her feet.
You can’t make fun of me like this.
“Day before yesterday?”
“…”
Tired, I strode toward Lenka, who had a calm expression on her face.
“Director.”
“Oh, why…”
Then, Lenka suddenly became calmer.
I said, thinking that she was going crazy because it was so cute that she didn’t make eye contact properly and looked away.
“Why don’t you just admit it now?”
“What, what…?”
“Animations, cartoons… You like subcultures like this.”
“It’s not…? My nephew…”
“Aren’t you tired of making excuses for your nephew all the time?”
“Isn’t that an excuse…?”
“Then call me. Listen to your nephew’s voice.”
At those words, Lenka was startled and frowned.
“My, why do I have to call my nephew to get credit from you…?”
“If you’re like me, you’d be willing to admit it and stay comfortable… How long are you going to stay in this uncomfortable atmosphere?”
“Isn’t it uncomfortable…? I’m proud…”
“Your voice is too low for a proud person.”
Lenka fanned her hand over her own face.
It seems hot. I’m very excited.
She was like that for a while, then she tidied up the lid of her little cup and said,
“If… Just in case, it’s true that I have such a hobby.”
“No, it’s related to the manager himself, but if it’s right, it’s right or not. Why do you make the assumption that if?”
“Ah, listen…! If so, what are you going to do?”
“What should I do? It’s a secret between the two of you.”
“Is that the end…?”
“Why? Are you afraid of spreading rumors? If you are uneasy, please do a cosplay only once. Then you can keep it a secret for the rest of your life.”
“My, I knew this would happen…! You crazy bastard…!”
“Why are you cursing? Wasn’t this just a hypothesis?”
“…Even if it’s a hypothesis, since the intention itself to use people’s sensitive parts is impure, there’s no choice but to say harsh words… Anyway, I have to work.”
“I have nothing to do. Because I’ve done it all.”
“Why is there nothing to do…! I have to memorize the menu of the post machine, and I have to figure out where all the ingredients are… Do you know where the straws are? I just saw that it was a bit lacking.”
“Storage.”
“Okay. I will be back.”
Lenka trying to get out of the counter against me.
I, who happened to be seated at the entrance, moved my feet to the side and blocked the exit with my body.
“… What are you doing?”
He frowns and glares at me, and even that expression is cute.
“I just tried it once.”
“Could you please clean up your annoying face?”
“Are you annoyed?”
“Very annoying…”
“Hmm.”
“I’m not…! Not annoying…! Are you okay?”
Now you’re just reacting instinctively.
This will develop into a delusion of persecution.
With a grin, I turned the body of Lenka to the side to let the strenuous Lenka pass.
“Let’s go.”
“… I’m crazy…”
“What are you crazy about?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Lenka let out her snort briefly and ran into her shed as if to escape.
I’ve been like this since the first day of my part-time job, how could I not be thrilled?
A fresh and popping cafe date with Lenkawa… Let’s enjoy it in earnest.
