In the evening, most of the staff returned to their houses. Akane-san was going to close the store by herself. She looks so small and cute, all hyped up to get it done. Ah, I want to pat her head so bad.
“Let us help you Akane-san”
Kira was slowly trying to slip away from helping her.
“What do you mean ‘us’? ”
“You‘re coming too!”
I dragged Kira to help Akane-san tidy up the place, placing chairs on the tables and closing the cafe.
After moments of brushing and moping, it was done.
“Thank you so much Toshiro-kun! It ended really faster than before! Y’know what, let me treat you two to a drink!”
Kira puts her arm over Akane-san and starts celebrating.
“Yay! I love free stuffs!”
“You didn’t want to do it in the first place!”
So many cars on the road, the lights of buildings illuminating the night sky. Kira skips like always. This was my first time going for a drink after work! WHOOOO New experiences! New experiences! Kira slows down her skipping and comes beside me at the back.
“Why are you always skipping?”
“It feels good! Feels bouncy! Come, try it with me Toshi”
We can’t enjoy our lives if we are too embarrassed about everything, or reject it because it's ‘cringe’. We should try out little things that bring us joy. I learned that after getting embarrassed too much, and getting my pride stripped off. But in the end, no one cares, it’s only ourselves! So why not? I thought to myself. I started skipping together with Kira.
“It does feels good!”
“Attaboy Toshi! Say, aren’t you getting all chummy with the manager, Akane-san hmm?~you’re into older women aren’t you?”
“WHAT’S WITH THE SUDDEN QUESTION?! Anyways, the older the wine, the finer it is. Besides, she must be married. No man wouldn’t deny her. She’s kind, gentle, hard-working and cute!”
“What about me then?”
“You’re…hmm… do you want the bitter truth or a sweet lie?”
“Im going to kill you Toshi”
With all those whispers behind her back, akane-san turns around and looks at both of us skipping, her eyes widens, and her smile gets big as if she was a child receiving a candy.
“Let me join too!”
She never needed to ask, we would’ve dragged her anyways.
“Haa~ i’ve always loved skipping when i was a kid”
“Why did you stop now Akane-san”
“B-because im a grown woman…people will think im weird”
“If you ever feel that way, please look at Kira and rethink”
Kira hits me hard on the head, Akane-san laughed
“You two are so close”
People looked at us weirdly, some of them were filled with jealousy. Well of course, a beautiful matured woman and another beautiful tall cat cosplay woman are skipping with me, It’s pure male fantasy! A black coloured building, Written ‘Enso’. Somehow, it looked too high end, I don't think I could even afford an orange juice in there.
“It’s on me~ don’t worry about it!”
Akane-san words were a beautiful harmony to my ears. I’ve never drunk beer before, I hope it's fine I guess. We entered the bar. A warm, amber coloured low-level lighting, jazz playing on the background, candles lit on tables. Luxurious wine arranged on the shelf. Plush leather seating in deep colours, the bartender on the counter is…
“REI-SENSEI!?”
“Yo”
Rei casually waves at us as if nothing happened. She was in a black vest, white shirt with rolled up sleeves and black pants. The people sitting around the counter look like someone who we should not mess with. Red coat with black inner clothing, scars on their face and tattoos on their hands. But they don’t look like troublemakers, it’s more of a high authority vibe.
“OI! STOP DROPPING THE CIGARETTE ASHES OFF THE TABLE! THAT’S WHY WE GAVE YOU THE ASH TRAY MUSCLES FOR BRAINS!!”
“Y-yes Rei-sama I'm sorry!”
Rei without hesitation yells at the tough looking man. Is she the owner of this place or something! And that tough looking man is not looking tough anymore.
“AND WHY ARE YOU THREE JUST STANDING THERE! COME HAVE A DRINK!”
I thought this place was supposed to be elegant and classy, but it was straight out military camp. Kira sat on the counter swinging her legs and looking at the surroundings with full awe.
“I know you were a bartender but I never knew you work in such a fancy place!”
“Are you not scared of these people, Rei-sensei?”
“Hah! Scared of these little yakuzas!”
Rei leans left and gave a threatening glare to them. They made sure no one makes eye contact and hid behind the menu board slowly. Did I hear that right? Yakuzas! And she’s already handling them like a shepherd. I know Rei-sensei is strong but- you know what, let’s calm down.
“You two know this bartender?~”
“Yeah! This is our neighbour Rei-sensei”
“Yeah! This is our neighbour Rei!”
Kira and I both answered at the same time, leaving her in more confusion. Akane-san ordered Whiskey Sour, Kira went for Bloody Mary, I've heard that name in movies before. I did not know what to ask for! What if I ordered something too strong! I searched through the available drinks and chose ‘Long Island Iced Tea’ because it's basically tea with a little mixture i guess?.
“That’s it boy! You’re proving you are my disciple!”
“Woahh! That was some choice of yours first time drinking alcohol! Hahaha!”
“Ah, such a bold man aren’t you Toshiro-kun~”
I have no idea why everyone is so surprised. Is ordering a tea that big of a deal? With a grace I've never seen from Rei-sensei, she prepares the drink. She first pours a liquor on the table in a straight, and she lights it up, a dim blue flame starts burning. She took her katana and a cube of ice, shaved it with incredible speed. After pouring the mixture in a shaker, she showed us some tricks by tossing, spinning and juggling the shaker. She did tease me by acting to pour it on me multiple times! And I fell for it multiple times!
With flavored wood chips smoked on top of our drinks, it was served.
Kira gulped on the Bloody Mary like it was nothing. Akane-san and I drank our drinks.
“HELL YEAH!! That’s what I'm talking about!!”
You may think Kira is the one who said that, it was Akane-san.
It’s like seeing a whole new person, she’s more louder, her voice is getting rougher
“A-are you okay Akane-san?”
“HUH?- Akane? Why are you getting all comfortable eh? That’s Fujimori-san for you, you @%#$!”
Noooo! It hurts when it’s coming from my goddess, The sweet Akane-san is gone! Who is this! She’s possessed! The way she sits changes, she spreads her legs wide like a delinquent, without thinking of modesty, her eyebrows are frowned, her feminine demeanour is gone! The cuteness burns away!
“Quit staring and give me another shot!”
I can’t take this anymore! I looked at Kira for help. She was a laughing drunk type, she’s just laughing the hell out of her stomach. Depending on her is hopeless.
I gulped my drink fully with overwhelming surprise.
The Long Island Iced Tea hit me hard like a speeding truck before I knew it.
***
Before continuing further, I will talk in third person because this Toshiro is too sober to tell the story.
***
It was the moment Toshiro realised the drink actually makes you jump island to island, it was too heavy for him. He grabs Akane’s collar and pulls her closer to his face- that is when the real Toshiro and Akane surfaced. With low whispering voice
“Who are you calling a @%#$ Hmm ?”
He exhales deeply, Akane’s heart is beating like the drums set of a rock band with their sudden close contact, her nervous quick breaths blankets his face gently.
“Y-you idiot!”
She slaps his face but their close contact remains unfazed. She squirms and protests but deep down she doesn’t want to break the connection. Toshiro leans further, his lips brushes her earlobe slowly
“What will you do if i keep calling you Akane”
Akane with a high pitched breathy voice
“S-stop it Toshiro”
“Make me Akane, Akane, Akane”
“T-Toshiro…~”
Toshiro lifted her chin with finger slowly, the words locked in his heart poured out before he knew it.
“Akane, I see sadness in your eyes, what makes my beautiful queen so sad. Tell me and I will slay anyone who causes your tears to roll down these soft cheeks that represents a petal of a flower. I will move the mountains, split the ocean into half for you my Akane”
(Rei is enjoying the scene from the counter)
Akane’s roughness disappears but she still remains sober, she hugs Toshiro tightly crying harder and harder. He gently rubs her head, her snot sticks on his clothes creating a long Snot-String.
“My staffs! They don’t respect me! They talk bad behind my back. They rub off the work I give them and I end up doing it myself. They’re so lazy! I just wanted to have a friendly, fun work environment! Is that too much to ask! I’m so tired Toshiro!!”
“Let everything out my precious. Don’t worry, I'll help you no matter what”
“Wow you’re treating her like a prince from shoujo manga, Toshi hahaha!”
Akane without having second thoughts leaned much closer and kissed Toshiro. Her soft lips connected with his, feeling her warmth deeply. They deepen their kiss as if they don't want it to end.
“Yay! Group hug!”
Kira jumped in and squeezed them tighter. Meanwhile, Rei was filming everything that’s happening in front of her.
After moments of sobbing, Kira was the least drunk person compared to both of us. She sent off Akane in a taxi, Kira and Rei dragged Toshiro back to the apartment.
***
Ah, it’s morning- why can’t I wake up, my body… It feels so heavy. I think it's because of the drink?. I'm going to be late for work, better i should take a bath and get ready. What is this soft thing on my feet
“HUUUOOAAGH!! Toshi! coughs you woman abuser! How could you step on me!”
“What are you doing under my bed! Don’t tell me you were watching me sleep this whole time!”
“I don’t know how I ended up here either!”
(what really happened was, Kira threw Toshiro on his bed and she tripped herself when turning back. She ended up sleeping where she fell)
As we were getting ready for work, there were sounds of blade sharpening as usual in the morning coming from Rei’s place. The both of us exited from our apartment and walked halfway, Rei called us from behind. She caught up to us
“I need to show you guys something”
Rei-sensei took out her phone and played a video which seemed really long, the faces looked familiar… Wait, it was us!?
“Let me just skip to the good part hehehe”
Akane-san’s darkside, my drunk seduction, the words I said to Akane-san, Kira’s idiotic laughs, everything. Every single thing was recorded. WOAAHHH! I- im kissing her!
“HAA! Way to go Toshi! Look at that! Full of passion! oo la la. I wonder if she remembers these things.”
What have I done? I just kissed my own manager! What if she fires me from this job! But, it seems I really did enjoyed it though, I finally showed how I feel towards her! THAT’S NOT THE POINT!. Meanwhile, Rei and Kira are playing when Akane-san slapped me on a loop.
“He’s still maintaining a straight face even after getting slapped! HAHAHA”
Rei-sensei did what she wanted to, struck thunder on my head in the morning and went away to her workplace. Now every step feels like a walk towards hell!
Bell clangs
“Ah, Good morning Kira-chan, Toshiro-kun!”
It seems she doesn’t remember what happened last night, but somewhere inside of me hopes she remembered it. She claps her hand
“It’s Saturday! There are going to be lots of people coming today!”
I'm not a cashier anymore, and I am a maidservant now. I must adapt to increase my performance here. The video Rei showed, it seems i was a natural at ‘gentle handling’ that’s what i wanted to call it. I must unlock my full potential!. Few male customers enter. Kira volunteered to serve them
“What would you like to order?, master~”
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
Her tail is swishing left to right, how is she doing that? a high pitched voice, is that supposed to be cute? And he likes it?! They’ve never witnessed the Kira I see everyday.
“Master, these are today’s special~ “What are you doing under my bed!”made with all my heart for you, won’t you eat it for your little Kira-chan”
Today’s special is the expensive dish! Oh poor man, I really feel sorry for him. Everything’s aside, she’s really good at this.
Bell clangs
Oh a female customer, let’s do this.
“I wish a wondrous morning to you my master, what would you like to order? Ah, serving such a beautiful maiden like you makes my day complete.”
She starts blushing and rolling her hair “I-i…would like to have a Cappucino, less sugar”
“I always admire a woman who takes care of herself, such a praiseworthy act indeed. I’ll bring the beverage that fills your heart.”
Placed her drink on the table.
“From my heart, to your stomach~nya, please come again, my heart already feels empty thinking about your absence”
She held my cloth as I turned from her “What’s your name?” she asked. With a sharp gaze piercing through her eyes
“It’s Toshiro… your Toshiro”
“I will come again for you Toshiro-kun”
She drank her Cappuccino and left. I smirked at Kira, declaring a challenge to her.
(Akane flustered seeing everything from behind)
“Toshiro-kun idiot, after everything last night, he’s flirting with others. It’s his job but…hmph” Akane is the type of person who does not forget anything that happened when she was drunk.
It was me, Kira and a few maids who were treating the customers. What are the others doing anyways? This cafe is already too packed! Let’s have a little peek at the staff only room. The door creaks slowly as I push it, Huh! Disco ball!. There’s one using nail polish, the other one is reading manga. Everyone is just hanging out here!.
“We need more people outside”
“Can’t you handle that? C’mon, you’re such a strong man. You don’t need us don’t you?”
One of them said with a lazy tone, her head hanging from the sofa
“Akane-san said those who did not come outside does not get their salary”
I added a little lie to get them back moving. Her cry from the video, I said I will help her no matter what. For my goddess.
The slacking pack runs to the serving area and starts treating the customers and cleaning the tables, but their faces do not show any happiness doing it. Only unwillingfulness and hatred.
“Toshiro-kun what did you do? They’re all helping the serving area all of a sudden”
“I said you won't be giving salary for those who do not come outside to do their duty, I'm sorry I used your name Akane-san.”
“They were preparing the dishes and cleaning right, why did you call them here?”
“No they were not Akane-san! Please stop believing everything blindly!”
I slightly raised my voice out of control, seeing a kind and gentle woman getting fooled easily by these lazy slackers made me frustrated. She did not say anything, her face was painted with shock and disappointment. “Stop thinking too much and order it already!” one of the staff talks rudely with the customer. The other’s services were starting to get bad, as if they were sabotaging Nyan Nyan Yashiki. Me and Kira were trying as hard as we could to keep the pace going well. Some were satisfied, some were not.
I could see that Kira was really pissed off by them, her cheerfulness was actually the trademark of this place. Even her getting pissed makes this place lose its soul even more. Why It’s really hot here all of sudden, even the AC is not cooling the place anymore! CAN’T THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE THAN THIS!. There are heat waves above Kira’s head, is she too stressed?
After running here and there, we were finally going to close it. As usual, every staff member went home before helping Akane-san.
Akane-san looked really sad.
“We uh… we need to talk Akane-san”
“No! Toshiro-kun was mean to me”
She pouts and turns back, crossing her arms. How cute can she become! Kira sneaks from behind and slowly places both of her hands on my shoulder.
“ooh, a lovers fight already? What did you do Toshi~ jezz i keep my eyes from you for a second and you did something bad~ hehehehe”
“(Whispering) we are not in a relationship from the first place! Don’t make things worse!”
I went in front of Akane-san to see her face to face. She had watery eyes, her eyelids holding her tears like a dam.
“Akane-san, i want to help you, WE want to help you. You need good leadership and demand respect.”
“A-am i not a good manager Toshiro-kun?”
I held both of her hands and looked into her eyes
“You’re the greatest Manager we could ever get, you were the reason I got into this job. We want you to be happy, Akane-san.”
Akane-san’s tears began to drop, I immediately wiped it away as i remembered i said ‘i will slay anyone who causes her tears to roll down her cheeks’. Slay?! I don’t even know how to fight!.
“Sobbing What are you going to do?”
“I know someone perfect for it. Tomorrow’s Sunday, why don’t you come to Kira’s apartment? We can meet up there”
Me and Kira returned to our apartment after closing the cafe.
“What do you have in your mind Toshi?”
“You’ll see”
“And why do you always care only for her! Can’t you be nicer like that to me as well!”
“You’re a strong person! You can take on anything! That’s why I look up to you”
“(mumbling) im also a woman too y’know”
“What was that?”
“NOTHING! IDIOT!”
She walked away fast into the horizon while I was calling out to her, is praising someone a taboo or something!
***
Doorbell chimes
“Excuse me~ Kira chan?”
I could recognize that voice from anywhere. Dark circles around my eyes, I opened the door, Akane-san wearing a long white skirt, hand-knitted pink long sleeved tops, a lychee coloured hat with a white furball on top and a small cute handbag. She was so cute, I could just hug her tightly…AAAAHHHHH IT”S TOO OVERWHELMING!!
“Toshiro-kun?! Y-you’re early”
Kira comes to the entrance from the back, bed headed and yawning.
“Early? He lives here! Hehehe”
She rubs my head with her big hands as Akane-san’s face is filled with shock.
“You’re living together!”
“Yes, but it’s not what you think! She’s just my roommate! please, enter”
Akane-san entered and sat on the sofa. Wondering what I have for her, I stood in front of her and spread arms to present the ‘ultimate solution’.
“The ultimate solution for your problems, the one who guides you to light! The one who puts any man on their knees, WE GIVE YOU….”
Kira carried and placed Rei like she was some kind of cardboard cut out.
“REI THE GALLANT!”
“Eh?! The bartender?”
“Toshi-boy explained everything to me, we need to shape you up!”
***
(what really happened last night)
***
I knocked on Rei-sensei’s door. Loud drums sound exploding through the door. She was playing the drums like someone from a heavy metal rock band, it was aggressive but i can’t help but shake my head to it. I spent just 30 minutes calling her through the phone and knocking on her door. SHE SHOULD HAVE SOME AWARENESS OF HER SURROUNDINGS!!! She finally opens the door.
“What are you doing on the floor? Come in”
She gave me hot tea and let me sit on her sofa,
“I'm sorry to have you waiting outside, I couldn’t hear you from the inside. What do you want, boy?”
“I want talk about Akane-san, you know, the one who’s with us at the bar yesterday”
I told her about Akane-san’s situation. Her face changed to more of ‘ah, this is a hassle’ type expression.
“Please Rei-sensei, you’re better suited for this more than anyone! I’ll do anything!”
“Woah, slow down Toshi-boy! Why are you so desperate for someone you just met?”
“Because I made a promise”
“Anything eh? follow me”
Her gaze turns mischievous. I don’t know what she has for me, but I hope it’s not something really bad. She takes me to the room I only had a glimpse of last time, a room filled with drums, electric guitar, synthetic piano and many more. She threw the electric guitar at me.
“I don’t know how to play it”
“Then learn, boy”
I have no idea what she’s trying to achieve by teaching me how to play electric guitar from scratch. She hit me with her sheath more times than I can count whenever I play a wrong note.
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY I RAN AROUND THE APARTMENT TWENTY TIMES WITH CARRYING THE GUITAR OVER MY HEAD! I spent literally 8 hours with her training me to play one. It’s 7AM in the morning and I finally got the basics.
“The landlord is out and does not come back for three days we can rock and roll all we want”
“What about the other tenants?”
“The other two got used to me”
Rei-sensei taps the drumstick together ‘ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR’, she beats the drums with fire in her eyes. Her sticks slammed against the snare, I can't help but getting pulled into her beat, it’s like getting sucked into a black hole. Without hesitation, my guitar pick dragged the strings creating an electrified growl. With an animalistic grin covering both me and Rei-sensei’s face, our instruments synchronised, creating a thunder-like sound that shook the walls.
I can feel the floor is rumbling, her hair flying here and there as she’s shaking her head aggressively, her sticks creating dimensional rift and my guitar grabs it and tear it even bigger. Totally, it feels like riding a shark in a thundering storm.
“HELL YEAH BOY!”
Rei-sensei cupped my cheeks painfully tight and started shaking my head
“YOU’RE SO GOOD AT IT!!”
She wrapped her arms around my neck and started grinding my head with her fist. I take it as a “yes i’ll help’ from her
***
(back to the present)
***
Rei-sensei staring at Akane-san closely, rubbing her chin
“Hmm… from what I heard, you’re too soft, you let your staffs walk over you. Tch tch tch i need to teach you The Art Of Commanding Presence”
I wonder how the teachings will go, I'm already having flashbacks of my electric guitar training.
“First is acceptance! Tell yourself how powerless you are!”
“I- im too soft, vulnerable and powerless”
“YOU’RE ALREADY SHOWING WEAKNESS IN YOUR WORDS! LOUDER! I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”
Akane-san’s eyes filled with tears with Rei’s intimidation. She shouts out
“I’M TOO SOFT! WEAK! THOSE SHITTY STAFFS ARE WALKING OVER ME!”
“YES! LOUDER! TELL YOURSELF HOW PATHETIC YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!”
The living turned into a military camp, Akane-san screams out her the position she’s in again and again. From my perspective, I could sense the ‘Delinquent Akane’ peeking out. As expected, Commander Rei.
“SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT!”
“I'M GONNA SHOW THEM WHO’S THE BOSS!! AAAHHHHHH”
Akane-san screamed as if she’s going to transform into a golden haired alien from the planet of a warrior race.
“Back off Toshi! The manager's going to shoot a laser beam from her hands!”
“She can do that?!”
“NO I CAN’T!”
Rei-sensei crossed her arms and nods her head
“Good, you’ve accepted yourself. Now, you have to strengthen your mind”
Rei brings a plate and fork, balloon, chewing gum and a pen. These things are too random, what is Rei-sensei going to do with these things? I trust her wisdom. She gives Kira the plate and fork, and asks her to scratch the plate with the fork. She gave me the chewing gum and pen.
“Chew it as loud as you can and don’t stop clicking the pen”
The whole living room was filled with annoying sounds.
“Meditate till you enter a state where you are not irritated of this sound”
“B-but it’s too loud!”
“THAT’S AN ORDER CADET!”
“YES COMMANDER!”
Akane-san sat on the floor and started meditating while me and Kira started making the annoying sounds. It’s really hard for me to stay inside, Akane-san was gritting her teeth, clenching her fist and squeezing her eyes shut.
After some time, her facial expression does not seem annoyed anymore. Her poster relaxes, she slowly stops clenching her fist.
It seems she’s getting used to the sounds, and my jaw kills me just from chewing this gum for a while now! Snore..snore…is that snoring i hear? Rei-sensei hit Akane-san’s head with her sheath. She awakes and continues meditating while we make the sounds.
“Able to sleep in these sounds is actually a good sign, it seems she’s not bothered by it anymore keep going Akane”
After an hour, she was completely unbothered by the sounds. Rei brought a set of dumbbells, she made Akane-san squat halfway and made her hold the top of the dumbbells.
“It’s heavy!”
“It’s only 2kg!”
I’ve actually seen this training in martial arts movies, if i remember it correctly, it’s to strengthen our mind.
“You two should go out now, stay in my place for today”
“What about the manager?”
“She has lots of dents to fix”
Rei-sensei pushed us out and slammed our own door behind us. I had a glimpse of Akane-san’s face before the door closed, it was…hollow. Rei-sensei’s fridge was filled with snacks and chocolate! She told us to make ourselves home- so why not?! Kira and I barged in her fridge and ravaged everything edible. Meanwhile, I hear screams and thuds next door. Is Akane-san doing alright?
They took a whole day, while me and Kira did roleplays and executions using Rei-sensei’s sword collections. Of course we put the swords back where they were (they were not). It’s night and our room was still locked, so Kira and I spent the night in Rei-sensei’s place.
It’s morning and it’s monday today! I wonder what the ‘Muscle Mondays’ is all about. Our door was unlocked, Akane-san went early to her place it seems. Rei-sensei was sleeping on my bed.
“Wake up sensei! We’re going to be late for work! And why are you not sleeping on Kira’s bed!”
“Her bed felt prickly with all her furs on it”
I shooed her away, and the words she said before exiting our place was.
“I may or may not, accidentally, perchance, created a monster”
What does she mean by that? Ooo i cant wait to see Akane-san in action! We went to the cafe and saw Akane-san sitting outside the cafe, still closed. She was waving at us with the same smile, she’s still the cute little Akane.
“Early as always Toshiro-kun, Kira chan~!”
We waited but Akane-san was not opening the cafe saying "not yet Toshiro-kun~” but it was way past working hours. The staffs came one by one, each of them confused why she was not opening yet.
“Everyone had a good sleep this morning~? WELL I WOKE MY ASS EARLY JUST TO OPEN THIS PLACE ALL BY MYSELF WHILE YOU ALL TAKE IT SLOW HUH? FOR EVERYONE WHO CAME LATE WILL GET THEIR SALARY DEDUCTED FOR EVERY HOUR YOU’VE WASTED!”
“NOW GET IN AND PREPARE EVERYTHING IN TEN MINUTES!”
That just happened…wow…like…damn. I've got nothing to say. Kira’s mouth was open till it reached her toes. Everyone did not say anything, they just started doing the jobs they were assigned for. But, things won't go easy just like that. I saw some staff members starting to get rebellious and do not like her actions. Akane-san came to me with a bag.
“Your custom made uniform, just as promised. And Toshiro-kun, call me manager when working”
Her eyes were not round and sparkly like before anymore, it was long and sharper. She wants to be professional in the work environment being called manager, i understand that so i can’t argue much about it. But OH.MY.GOD. This custom made uniform looks so good. Slim fit matte black pants, shiny cover shoes, matte black vest but the love shaped cleavage stays, red bow tie, dim grey sleeveless shirt for the inside. She even made sure it’s slightly tight enough to show off my structure. Ooooh Do I look like a million bucks or what.
“Toshi, you lookin as sharp as a knife!”
“The finest knife, dear Kira. I'm going to get more customers than you today, hehehe”
The manager was walking around in surveillance checking every staff member, her posture is more open but feminine at the same time, each step she places is landed with grace. She sees a rebellious staff reading magazines in the staff room.
“IF YOU WANT TO SLACK OFF, PACK YOUR BAGS AND DO IT AT HOME! GET OUT THIS INSTANT”
Her voice echoes throughout the dining area. The staff walked fast out of the cafe mumbling and cursing the manager. Her voice was a reminder to those who tries to defy her. Her gaze pierces through everyone working there. Rei-sensei drilled herself into the manager. But deep inside, I know she’s still our Akane-san. I approached her.
“Ah, Toshiro-kun! This new uniform looks really good on you!”
“Well, thank you manager, i want to ask what is the muscle mondays”
“Oh, yes, there are special spells and services for you~! You will flex your arms when serving or pouring the drinks, and also, flex when showing a heart sign with your arms. The premium services would be, the customers get to sleep on your shoulder and have conversations. You should treat them like princesses Toshiro-kun!”
Is this a maid cafe or a cabaret cafe?! Well, I should work hard to beat Kira and become the best employee, then I'll get paid more as well!
“And the spell is-”
“AH! Let me give him the spell manager!”
Kira jumps in our conversation. Her grin definitely says she’s up to something.
“Listen well Toshi…the spell is…Flex,Flex Kyuun~ May My Strength Fuel Your Smile!”
This is way worse than the last one! What the hell is even Kyuun! I should…relax…it’s only for mondays, i’ll get used to it.
