Let's cut there for now!
We'll do the close-up of the parfait now, so let's get a light on it! Oh, let's get a napkin with the cafe's logo to go with that shot!
I feel like the crew's working constantly during these shoots even when we're on break...
Yeah, only the personalities get to rest. I honestly can't thank them enough for all their hard work.
Short segments like this one will only end up being a few minutes long, but it takes an entire day to film it.
And it's our job to make this show as fun as possible. So, let's do our best and make the most of what the crew is doing for us.
Yeah, let's!
I'm so glad we were able to make a reservation!
You heard about how this cafe's doing a shoot today because it's been going so viral on social media, right?
Yeah.
And the staff was so polite about us visiting. I hope we don't startle everyone else here too much.
I mean, we are a pretty rowdy bunch.
I sorta think they have every right to feel that way.
The cafe's become much livelier all of a sudden...
Oh, I think that's the group the manager was talking about!
We should be fine because we have these curtains up, but we still need to be on our best behavior.
Right!
Still, it's pretty rare for groups to make reservations for here. I wonder what they're...
Huh?!
That group of customers...
What's wrong, Minori? Wait, huh?
I can't wait.
I'm starved.
Order as much as you like.
We warned this cafe beforehand that we'd be coming.
Awesome!
And it's like they came up with these Mount Everest sized menu items just for us! Thanks, Fujin! You always find the best places!
Hehe. Anytime.
I mean, what's better than stuffing our faces in sweets after doing an event?
H-Hey, isn't that the female professional wrestler, Riser☆Fujin?!
Oh, is she famous...?
She's really popular on PicShare!
She has like 1.5 million followers!
Lately, everyone's been talking about how she's been helping wrestling teams and organizations who've fallen on hard times get back on their feet!
Oh, I had no idea she was so popular...
Yeah, and she's famous for being a huge sweets connoisseur. She's even come up with some for a few convenience stores...
But she's most famous for taking other wrestlers from her organization out after big matches to tackle mountains of sweets.
Wait...
Mountains of...
Okay, let's order...
Excuse me!
To start, we'd like ten of your Mount Everest strawberry parfaits and eight of your seasonal waffles!
U-Uhh, wow...
This is turning into a pretty big test for the staff...
Okay, break's over!
Let's resume our shoot!
W-W-We have to get back to work!
I hope Mizuki and Saki are going to be okay...
We can't do much to help right now, so we'll just have to believe that they will be...
You've got this, you two...!
Huff... Huff... Huff...
I've got two plates of waffles ready here!
I've got three!
Mizuki, how are you doing on your end...?!
G-Gimme a sec...!
I'm still not done with the first three I got!
Wait... Five dollops of whipped cream, right...? Two, three, four, five.
Okay, done!
Heh heh heh.
Not bad if I do say so myself!
I'll start working on the ones we just got!
Really?!
I'm just about done making my batch, so I'll help you with the whipped cream and...
Huh...?
D-Did something happen?
The cream on the edge of this plate sort of fell apart...
Wait...
Y-Yeah, it's a little lower than the other ones... But is it gonna be that big of a problem?
I mean, the bow in the middle of this one looks better than any of the other ones...
Nope, do it again!
Whaat?!
But I thought it turned out really well!
Yes, I know it's really hard to get everything to look all nice and pretty when things are super busy. Which makes cutting corners all the more tempting...
Each plate may be one out of the many for us, but each one means everything to our customers!
So, we have to give each plate the love it deserves regardless of how busy things get...
That's the motto of carino/carina!
Give each plate... The love it deserves...
Yeah, you're right...
I also obsess over the tiniest stuff whenever I'm making something.
Hehe. I'm glad you understand.
The first time our boss told me that, I also thought it was a really strict rule.
But I began to understand the reasoning behind it after seeing the smiles on all our customers' faces.
Yeah...
If you're making something for someone, you should do everything you can for it. Otherwise, the person receiving it won't understand what you were trying to do...
Okay.
I'll start over!
I'm gonna make it look gorgeous this time!
Yeah, that's what I like to hear♪
Then, I'll show you how to gussy up the whipped cream. For the ones that fell apart slightly, just do this and...
Whoa, that's so cool!
They look perfect now!
I know, right?
You just have to do this now if something goes wrong.
So, let's try to get those orders out and...
Oh, excuse me!
We'd like five more plates of your mega pudding a la mode!
E...
Eeeeeepp!!!
Was that a scream I just heard...?
(I really hope Mizuki and Saki are okay...)
(I wish we could lend them a hand...)
A-Anyway...
Including our parfaits, we've put quite a lot of thought into each of our menu items. As a result, our customers have been giving us some very nice reviews.
(Oh, that's right...!
Now's our chance to...)
I agree! The parfaits are one thing, but the rest of the menu also looks amazing! I've even been hearing some of the other customers ordering some of these items...
Which gave me an idea...
