Good work today.

Oh, Murakumo-san. Good work.

Scrub scrub. Scrub scrub.

Is Kinari helping Ushio with making the desserts?

Yeah, he said they’re almost done.

Scrub scrub. Scrub scrub.

What’re you doing, Netaro?

My Scribble Board is all greasy, so I’m wiping it! Scrub scrub.

The Magic Hand’s quasi-skin oil, yeah? That stuff was seriously sticky.

Did you come to eat Shio’s sweets too, Tengu?

Well, Ushio was on his knees in tears begging me to let him show me his appreciation, so I didn’t really have much of a choice.

Huh?

Shio did!? Why!? How’d he do it!?

Yeah, none of that even happened. I didn’t beg, I wasn’t in tears, and I absolutely did not kneel on the floor.

Thank you for waiting, everyone. Here is Kurama-sama's special Meat Bun Parfait.

Murakumo-san, if you don't want to, you're more than welcome not to eat it.

...He says while putting the parfait right in front of me.

*Sigh*... I’m grateful that you got my spatula back for me, but I still don’t trust your character at all.

Moi~? But I’m just a harmless, ordinary college student.

Did you make this with that spatula too?

Yeah. Don’t worry though, it was greasy, but I made sure to wash it about 18 times.

Well then, I will help myself as well.

Now then, bon appé...wait.

?

No, nevermind. Enjoy.

*Munch munch*... Mm, I like that it’s less sweet than when we taste tested it before.

Well, I adjusted it a bit for the shop version so it could have enough of a punch to match Yowa-san's food.

Oooh, wow. You thought about it that much? Both versions are delicious.

...Thanks.

Oh yeah, so in the end the plan for Netaro’s second store got scrapped, right?

Everything got folded up after all.

Repairing the structure itself is possible. However, considering the time and cost required, it is currently best to focus on the operations of the main shop.

Liguang-san and Nayuki-san didn’t give us a passing grade either...

Honestly, if they did, I’d have told them to go see a doctor.

Well, there’s a buncha other ways to find my Beatrice anyway!

Taa’s bazooka felt pretty good, so maybe next time, I’ll go with a new plan that really puts it to use! ♪

Ehh!? The bazooka is a bit much...

Stingy!

Um... In exchange, I can just help out normally as a part-timer at Cafe 369...

DEAL!

I will also continue to help as your assistant.

Then I’ll stick around to make sure Yowa-san doesn’t do anything weird to Azekawa-san...

Aha! I’m so lucky to have such obedient assistants!

Umm, and what about you, Murakumo-san?

I’ve still got job hunting to worry about, so I guess I’ll probably just show up whenever I’m free.

Haha...well, I figured as much.

...Actually, on second thought.

?

If you swap the bazooka to a shotgun, I might move my plans around just to see it again.

Please give me a break...
