On the next day, the Kako no Cafe was opened as usual and waiting for its customers. At 9am, the doorbell rang again, and stepping in was no one else beside their first customer, the “cyborg” girl. Hearing the bell, Yuki had a big smile on her face. But then she saw who it was, her smile turned into a frown. Quickly dried her hands with a towel, she stepped out of the bar and greeted.
“Irasaimase!”
The girl this time ignored her and went to the table that she sat yesterday. Yuki let out an annoying sigh and gave the menu to the girl. As if the girl was teasing her, she refused to take it and just simply said in a mono tone.
“Yesterday order, please.”
Yuki’s eyebrow rose as she walked back to the bar and told Takamina to make another strawberry cake while she made hot chocolate. In her thought, she started hating this girl as if the girl was mocking them by saying that. This was only her second time coming here so she couldn’t be a regular customer if this was a normal cafe. Yes normal cafe. So that girl was telling Yuki that their cafe was so unpopular that they could remember her yesterday order even when she just came here for the 2nd time. Too few customers.
The barista bit her lower lip to soothe her own anger. A few minutes later, she brought the chocolate and cake to the girl table.
“Enjoy, please.” She said reluctantly with an awkward smile.
But the girl didn’t listen to her when she kept looking at her sketchbook, again. Yuki hurried back to the bar and watched the girl again. She was expecting the girl to eat her cake while drawing something on her sketchbook. But this time, she was wrong. The girl put her sketchbook back to her backpack and ate the cake quickly. Finishing her meal, she sat up, paid for her order then left the cafe exactly at 10am, not to forget to shortly glare at the glass cabinet when she was walking out.
Yuki stared at the door for a minute then went away to clean the empty cup and plate with a sigh escaping her throat.
“This girl is in a hurry, isn’t she?” Takamina said, leaning on the bar.
“Seems so.” Yuki replied coldly. She brought the dirty things to the kitchen and started washing them.
“Are you OK, Yukirin? You sounds... angry.”
“I’m fine.”
Another cold and short reply, which sent a chill down on Takamina’s spinal cord. The owner just shut her mouth and went back to her baking task later on.
Around 7pm, Kako no Cafe was still empty as usual, despite the fact it was Sunday night, the time that people go out the most. The dark color of night made it even more desperate.Takamina was sitting on a bar chair, playing with her coin by tossing it rapidly. The barista was standing behind the bar but right next to Takamina and stared at the entrance door boringly.
“Seriously, Takamina. You’re some sore of unforturnate people or something. This is so strange that your cafe only has one customer after how many? 3 days!”
“Maybe I’m not destined to be in cafe business.” Takamina sighed while looking at the coin in her hand. “I guess I will close the cafe early again.”
Putting her coin back to her pocket, she walked to the door.
Reaching out for the wooden sign, Takamina was about to change the side of it before...
“Finally we’re here!!!!”
Suddenly, the door busted out quickly and violently along with an energetic voice. As the door flew open, it met Takamina’s hand in the way and pressed that little soft thing onto the wall beside, making a loud thud and a painful scream.
“IITAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!”
Takamina held her red hand and jumped around while blowing at the sore.
“Oi! Yuu-chan! Watch out! You hurt her!”
From the street, a tall girl with cat-like ears and brown long soft hair knocked on the shorter one, who had given the pain to Takamina’s poor hand.
“Gomen, Nyan.”
“Don’t apologize me. Her!”
Since the scene happened too fast, Yuki couldn’t react, except for her owl eyes. But now she had finally analyzed the situation, she instantly approached Takamina and checked the girl.
“Are you alright, Takamina?”
“Yes I’m fine. My hand is just red but no bones broke.”
Takamina replied but still caressed her hand. Yuki sighed then turned to the two new people.
“Irasaimase.” She bowed at them and received back another bow from them.
“Arigatou. Sorry for hurting your hand. Are you OK?” The shorter girl asked concernly.
“Yeah yeah I’m fine. Don’t worry about that.”
“So table for two?” Yuki asked.
“Yes please.” The short girl answered with a smile.
Yuki then guided them to a table next to the window and gave them the menu while Takamina went to the kitchen to grab some ice.
“A cold latte and a vanilla cake, please.” The taller girl said calmly.
“Cold mocha and chocolate cake~” The other girl quickly said.
“Right away.” Yuki smiled to them then walked away to prepare the order.
Later, Yuki brought the drinks and cakes to the girl and placed them down on the table gently.
“Please enjoy.”
Yuki stood there and watched the two customers taking their first bites and gulps. Both of their eyes went wide. Couldn’t hold back, the shorter one exclaimed.
“This is DELICIOUS!”
“And the coffee too.” The taller one nodded.
“Ne ne~ Your coffee and cake is so dlicious, really!”
The shorter complimented Yuki. The barista jsut gave a smile and a light bow.
“Thank you for your compliment. We’re glad that you enjoy it.”
“Can I ask you who makes these?” The taller one asked politely.
“I’m the barista here while the other girl you met is the owner and the baker.”
“Cool~ Both of you look so young but already able to make such good cake and coffee like this. I’m very impressed.” The shorter one said and took another bite of her chocolate cake.
“I wonder why here is so empty despite the quality of the service.” The taller girl said after taking a look around the cafe.
Yuki was still wondering that herself so she didn’t know what to reply the customer.
“I guess we’re just unlucky.” She said wakwardly.
“Hmm... I didn’t expect that it was worse than my imagination when I first heard about it.”
“Ehh?” Surprised by what she heard from the taller girl, Yuki stared at the girl in disbelief. “You heard about us? How?”
“A friend told us about an empty cafe in Akibahara and asked us to come here and help. So here we are, tasting the food and drink. We have to say that it’s such a pity that this cafe isn’t well-known.” The tall girl slowly answered.
“We decided to help you guys! It’s a big waste to let this excellent cafe go down!” The shorter girl continued.
“Really?” Takamina, who was listening to the conversation , ran from the kitchen and asked in disbelief.
“Yes.” Both of the customers nodded.
“Arigatou!” Yuki and Takamina happily thanked them and bowed at then.
“Don’t mention it. By the way, I’m Oshima Yuko, 23 years old, currently working at AY Entertainment, choreography instructor.” The shorter introduced herself.
“I’m Kojima Haruna, also 23, owner of NyanNyan fashion brand.”
“Wow.” Both the barista and the midget owner were surprised by their customer’s information. They were famous people. And they were wasking to help them. It was a their biggest fortune ever.
“I’m Kashiwagi Yuki, 21 years old, owner of Mielino Cafe in Kagoshima but currently working as barista here. Yoroshiku.”
“I’m Takahashi Minami, 21 too, owner and baker of this cafe. Thanks for your help.”
“We haven’t done anything yet so don’t thank us so early.” Haruna smiled.
“Mielino Cafe? No wonder why your coffee is so good, Kashiwagi-san. I’ve heard from my co-workers that Mielino is the best cafe in Kagoshima.” Yuko praised.
“Hahaha... I don’t think mine is the best... I still have a lot of things to learn.”
Yuki scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
“We’ll introduce this awesome place to our friends and co-workers. We promise that your cafe will get famous in no time, right Nyan?”
“Un.”
