I can't really see because of the curtains, but it definitely sounds like Airi Momoi and Haruka Kiritani are doing a shoot!

4
Character icon
Customers

Yeah, I just saw in the news that they're both in a different idol group now. Do you think they're all here today?

5
Character icon
Customers

Oh, what if this means they're gonna serve us...?! How amazing would that be?!

6
Character icon
Airi

(Hehe. The customers sure all sound excited.)

7
Character icon
Customers

Wait, where's Shizuku Hinomori...?

I became a huge fan after seeing a recording of one of the shows she was on. I really wanted to see her in person...

8
Character icon
Airi

Just a second.

Shizuku's getting ready as we speak.

9
Character icon
Customers

...!

Airi Momoi...!

10
Character icon
Customers

Wait, getting ready? For...?

11
Character icon
???

Welcome, everyone.

12
Character icon
Shizuku

It's so wonderful to be making your acquaintance today. I hope you enjoy everything.

13
Character icon
Customers

Sh...

14
Character icon
Customers

She's looks so cool!!!

15
Character icon
Staff

Wow...

16
Character icon
Show Director

You, focus on Hinomori!

Lock your camera onto her!

17
Character icon
Haruka

So much excitement...

18
Character icon
Airi

Her aura really is brilliant.

Like, blindingly brilliant...

19
Character icon
Haruka

Still, this was a great idea.

How do you think they arrived on getting Shizuku to wear the male staff's uniform?

20
Character icon
Airi

I guess it wouldn't have been all that interesting if we all just dressed as regular waitresses.

21
Character icon
Airi

I thought we could do just that, but the stylist insisted she do this...

22
Character icon
Haruka

Hehe. I see.

And she looks stunning. I'm sure the customers are going to really enjoy this.

23
Character icon
Customer

U-Um... Excuse me...

Would you mind if we took a picture together?

24
Character icon
Airi

Yes, of course!

25
Character icon
Airi

Speaking of which, there's a nice area for taking pictures at the back of this cafe...

26
Character icon
Airi

Why don't we go there?

You may or may not appear on TV if that's okay.

27
Character icon
Customer

Y-Yes, of course...!

I don't mind as long I'm allowed to have a picture!

28
Character icon
Airi

Great.

Then, I'll go grab Shizuku now, so—

29
Character icon
Customer

Oh...!

N-No, I meant...

30
Character icon
Airi

Huh?

31
Character icon
Customer

I want to take a picture with you, Airi.

I've been a fan of yours since you were still in training... And I watch MORE MORE JUMP! streams all the time.

32
Character icon
Customer

You don't get many chances in life like this...! But I also apologize if I'm asking for too much...!

33
Character icon
Airi

No, of course!

Thank you for being such a fervent supporter.

34
Character icon
Airi

Let's celebrate this moment by putting on the biggest smiles we can!

35
Character icon
Customer

*Gasp*

Airi...! She's right next to me...!

36
Character icon
Haruka

Then, why don't I take it for you?

Mind giving me your phone?

37
Character icon
Customer

K-Kiritani?! You're taking it for us...?! Thank you so much! I don't know what to say...!

38
Character icon
Haruka

Okay, smile.

39
Character icon
Customer

Th-Thank you very much!

I'll treasure this moment forever...!

40
Character icon
Airi

Hehe. Promise?

No hopping onto someone else's bandwagon, okay?

41
Character icon
Airi

I won't forget what you told me today, and I look forward to seeing you at our next show.

42
Character icon
Fujin

Whoa, hold up. We're allowed to ask for pictures? Take some with us next.

43
Character icon
Wrestlers

Yeah, I wanna post them on PicShare!

Let's take some as a group!

44
Character icon
Haruka

Hehe. It's turned into a photo shoot all of a sudden.

45
Character icon
Airi

Yeah.

But I don't mind as long as we can use this area. Here, we should be able to stay out of the cafe staff's way.

46
Character icon
Airi

Also... I appreciate that you want to post them on PicShare, but please make sure to mention this cafe and TV program when you do!

47
Character icon
Minori

Hehe. Everyone's having so much fun!

48
Character icon
Mizuki

Yeah, they're so caught up in trying to take pictures that we've been getting less orders!

49
Character icon
Mizuki

This is our chance to get everything out!

50
Character icon
Saki

Yeah, we can't let Airi's efforts go to waste!

51
Character icon
Mizuki

Right!

Also, Minori, thanks for jumping in to help with the kitchen! We feel so much better having you around.

52
Character icon
Minori

No, I should be the one thanking you! Our shoot's been going well because you've all been doing such a great job so far!

53
Character icon
Minori

Especially you, Mizuki. It's hard to believe this is your first day considering how many orders you've been handling!

54
Character icon
Mizuki

If I'm gonna be honest, I was really worried in the beginning... But that massive pile of orders ended up being a good crash course.

55
Character icon
Saki

Then, Mizuki, I've got a job for you!

I just finished working on the bottom halves of these parfaits, so mind doing the whipped cream for me?

56
Character icon
Mizuki

Yeah, you got it!

These going to Emu's table, right?

57
Character icon
Saki

Yup!

And can you take these out to them when you're done?

58
Character icon
Saki

After that, I'll need you to help decorate the waffles. But they still need some time to cook.

59
Character icon
Mizuki

Okay!

60
Character icon
Mizuki

Alright, I'm gonna make these look perfect!

61
Character icon
Emu

Hehe...

Everyone's having so much fun☆

62
Character icon
Emu

Look at how their eyes are sparkling!

It's like we're all a part of a big show!

63
Character icon
Hinata

Hehe. You're right.

And I'm looking forward to our parfaits.

64
Character icon
Mizuki

Thank you very much for waiting!

Here are your Mount Everest strawberry parfaits!

65
Character icon
Emu

Oh, yay!

Our Mount Everests have arrived♪

66
Character icon
Hinata

Wow, they're so big...!

67
Character icon
Mizuki

I'm sorry that they took a little longer than expected to make. Things have been so busy today that, well... I hope it hasn't been too much of a bother.

68
Character icon
Emu

No, we've been having a lot of fun! We were just talking about how this all feels like a big show!

69
Character icon
Mizuki

I'm glad you're both enjoying things so much! And I really hope you enjoy these!

70
Character icon
Hinata

Actually, I'm surprised at how cute these parfaits are. I can see why so many people would want to take pictures and show their friends.

71
Character icon
Emu

Yeah!

I wanna take some for Nene and the others!

72
Character icon
Emu

I mean, just look at this bow!

It looks so real! It's a shame that we have to eat it!

73
Character icon
Mizuki

Oh...

74
Character icon
Mizuki

Actually, I was the one who did all the whipped cream decorations for these...

75
Character icon
Emu

What?! Mizuki, you made these?!

76
Character icon
Hinata

But you said it's your first day here, no?

You're so talented.

77
Character icon
Mizuki

No, I'm just sorta good at decorating things. Still...

78
Character icon
Mizuki

I really appreciate what you just said since I put everything I had into these.

79
Character icon
Mizuki

And I guarantee that they taste amazing, so I really hope you enjoy them.

80
Character icon
Emu

Yeah, then...

81
Character icon
Emu

We promise to savor every bite of the parfaits you so lovingly made, Mizuki!

82
Character icon
Mizuki

In that case...!

Bon appetite!
