Track 6

...Phew.

Oh! Ten, Kotaro, good work!

Finally our turn, huh?

Oh... I was starting to think this car was being ignored because a peasant like me is sitting here.

It’s nothing like that, don’t worry.

It sounded pretty lively in the other car...?

You could say that.

After providing such attentive service and putting the customers first, why am I the one getting grilled?? Is Kawaii by itself not enough?

At least you got away. If Liguang-san got a hold of you, you’d have been listening to his old geezer lecture ‘til morning.

Whenever I give Lulee a sniff, he smells like he’s been fermenting for all 4000 years of Chinese history.

Wait... Did you two get bullied by Liguang?!

Eeek... Is this... CUSTOMER HARASSMENT!?

That’s right, it was awful. Wanna hear about it? Oh, lemme just take a seat here.

You’re taking a break? We were hoping to order soon though.

Oh! Th-Th-That's right! He just sat down so naturally...!

C’mon, what’s wrong with a lil break?

Today, I’m the customer and Ten-kun’s a low-level part-timer...

Which means I’m the God and he’s my servant, right!? We have to make sure we maintain the proper social hierarchy...!

Yachiyo. The phrase “The Customer is God” isn’t a justification for the customer to make unreasonable demands.

YYEeeEEESSS President!!! I’m sorry this lowly insect got ahead of itself!!!

Will you get rid of this trash!? Is this TRASH HARASSMENT¹? Please, anything but that!!!

Y-Yachiyo, calm down.

*Grumble grumble grumble*...

At this rate, I’ll fail the test opening and my plans will go down the drain. My global expansion and my search for Beatrice will all pop like bubbles and disappear. *Grumble grumble grumble*.

Netaro-san looks kind of down... Is he okay?

Forget him. He probably got chewed out next door.

More importantly, Toi... You’ve been wanting dessert this whole time, right? Order whatever you want.

Yeah! I’ve been really looking forward to Ushio-kun's desserts.

Can I order a bunch of different kinds? Will you split them with me, Ani-sama...?

Of course. It’s even written in the Kojiki² that you and I will share everything equally.

Hawawaa, a timeless line like that is making my heart kyun kyun kyun kyun kyun kyun kyun kyun like crazy! I can't take it~!!

You just built Susanoo’s Eightfold Fence with your kyuns³.

You heard him, Murakumo. Take the damn order.

Yeah, yeah.

Well then, I’ll have the “Woof Woof” Meat Bun Burger, please ♪

Ummm... What flavor should I get... Both the “Woof Woof” one Kafka got and this “Fluffy” one sound good...

Just order all of them! It’s free and all-you-can-eat after all!

Hmmm... Do you have one you recommend, Ten?

How about this “Poko Woko” one?

Got it! I’ll go with that!

You just randomly made that up, didn’t you...

C’mon manager, we’ve got orders.

*Grumble grumble*...

You hear me? C’mon, to the kitchen.

*Grumble grumble grumble*...

He looked really down...

He was so energetic just a minute ago though.

Ha, I don’t got a clue what happened in the other car, but I’m sure he’s just playing the victim card.

*Sigh~~~*...

That was awful...

Tao and the others are here too. And—

There was some sort of trouble in Car No. 4, so we came to help out, yes!

We performed, air purification, of the Kawaii Peppah.

Rescue complete.

Beep boop.

I’ve bwought the desserts you ordered!

Murakumo-sama. Could you tell us about the current situation?

I took the orders, and Manager Netaro just went back to Car No. 6. Dunno if he’s actually working though.

Got it. I’m gonna go launch a formal complaint then. Can’t believe that guy's an adult, what a joke.

Give me the full details later...

Netaro-san did seem like he was reflecting a bit on it though.

Either way, Lu-san and Nayuki-san are pretty mad, so I’ll have to bring him back to Car No. 4...

Murakumo-sama, would you mind coming along to help persuade Yowa-sama?

(What a pain… But, I guess it’s less annoying than staying here and explaining things to the prez.)

Roger~. Alright then, I’m off.

Everyone went to Car No.6 except the pet robots...

Gotta say, I’m pretty hungry...

Mashiro and the others brought the desserts Ani-sama and I ordered, but...it doesn’t feel right to eat before everyone else.

Damn it, fuckin’ Yowa...

*Gasp*...!? Could the reason that Yowa-san lost his motivation be—

Because a bottom-feeder, clueless nobody like me got carried away and ordered too much...!?

I highly doubt it...

No, no! If the president or our super celebrity talent starves to death because of this, my social existence will be erased!!!

I’m fine though. I’m used to holding back hunger...

NOT ALLOOOOOWED!! I’ll go give him a piece of my mind for you, Renga-san!! I’ll tell him to bring out every single thing we ordered, and to do it fast!!

Because...it’s free and all-you-can-eat!!!

BECAUSE!!! IT’S FREE!!! AND!!! ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT!!!

Wait, hey, Yachiyo...!

...What’s up with that guy’s mood?

I wonder if everyone will be okay...

HEY, YOWA-SAN! Give us an apology!

Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

Oh? Got your groove back?

Yup! I’m gonna fail either way, and I was getting bored!

Yowa-sama is not making a Meat Bun Burger right now.

Huh...? Then what is he—

HEY~~~!! Making the Great Renga Nishizono wait for his meal is an unforgivable sin~~~!!

Oh boy, here comes the runaway train.

It’s not like I’m a greedy glutton or anything! This is strictly for Renga-san's sake—

Gwah!? The edge of the table hit me in the solar plexus! Oww!!

Whoa!? Are you alright!?

...? The table Fuefuki-sama fell on started sinking under his weight—

Wait, why am I hearing a familiar siren right now!?

...It appears all the doors and windows have been locked behind shutters.

Oh nooooo, you’re in trouble, big, big trouble~!

Whaaa...? What happened...?

Piihyoro turned on the thing I was just working on—

«This establishment will soon be demolished. It is dangerous to remain inside. Please evacuate immediately. I repeat—»

The shop’s scrapping switch!
