I'm all set to go.
I'm also ready.
Then, let's have another fun practice today and—
Saki, I think your phone's ringing.
Oh, it's my boss!
Sorry, I need to take this!
Hi, boss. Tenma here.
Yes... Yes, that's fine...
Why do you think her manager's calling her...?
This could be about them doing that shoot for TV. Saki's scheduled to work that day.
Oh, I almost forgot.
That shoot's fairly soon, no?
Not only that, Haruka and the others will be there too—
Whaaat?!
Huh...?
Wh-What?
O-Okay, I understand.
I'll also try asking around...
...
S-Saki...?
Everyone, please answer this as honestly as you can.
What...?
How would you like some extra money...?
...which is why this person with a ton of experience won't be able to make it that day.
And we urgently need someone to fill in now.
What about any of the other employees at the cafe?
Oh, my boss did manage to find someone who can come in that day.
But they won't be able to make up for years of experience. Which is why we still need one more...
By the way, what does this job involve...?
Umm... You'd be waiting tables and putting on the finishing touches to sweets.
Like decorating them...?
In that case...
How about it, Hona...?
As much as I want to help, I unfortunately have a prior engagement...
Okay...
Then...
Do you honestly think I can wait tables?
What...?
Shiho...
Wait, how did you...?! And don't give me that look!
I didn't want to get your hopes up.
In any case, Ichika seems like the best person for this job.
Hmm... I probably wouldn't have too much trouble waiting tables, but I'm less sure about decorating sweets...
No, wait!
Ichi, you know how to make hamburgers!
That just basically involves stacking things together. Anyone can do it as long as you follow the instructions...
You're talking about parfaits and stuff, right? I really don't know if I'll be able to decorate them properly. Even just putting on dollops of fresh whipped cream might be...
Don't worry! I was also really terrible at first! This one time, my dollops of whipped cream all turned into cream-shaped ghosts!
Please, Ichi...!
You're my only hope!
And you'll get paid!
You can buy whatever clothes or delicious food you like!
The money does sound nice...
But I still feel that I won't be all that helpful.
No, don't say that!
Just waiting tables alone would be huge!
Please...! I seriously don't have anyone else that I can turn to!
Think of it as helping me and the cafe...!
Okay...
I'll help if you can't find anyone else.
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad for you, Saki!
Thanks♪
Still, I really don't think I'm cut out for decorating sweets...
...
Then, how about I take over the decorating?
Yes, I have a feeling you'd be very good at that!
Sh-Shiho...!
Thank you, Ichi, Shiho!
I love you both so much!
Don't forget the part about looking for someone else first, okay...?
I know!
Hehe...!
