Himari leaped at the counter of the cafe, paper with the orders in hand.

“I need another ten portions of the seafood paella with diced steak and dummy soup!”

“Ten of them?! I haven’t even finished the previous order!”

Akane frantically ran around with the frying pan as she tried to handle all the orders. She was too naive and thought that a cafe would be pretty chill in terms of rush hour, and yet the place was stacked today.

“It’s because your menu is too popular! Also, I want steak with lots of garlic for five people!”

“Just give them slices of dried bonito!” Akane screamed in terror.

She was rather peculiar when it came to cooking and everything related to it, so making food focused on time was difficult for her. Unlike her, Maho was a lot better at adjusting, so she’d do just fine. Meanwhile, an office lady sitting at the counter started laughing.

“Your cooking is just that delicious, Akane-chan. Now that I’ve experienced this taste, I can’t go to another restaurant anymore.”

“Y-You’re too nice…” Akane didn’t know how to respond.

“It’s the truth. All your food is packed with love. I bet you’re always cooking for your boyfriend!”

“I don’t…have a boyfriend.”

Of course, all these dishes she came up with to make for Saito. Since the owner wanted a new dish for the menu, she suggested it, and when she made a test version, everyone loved it.

“Nice job bringing such a great cook over to our place, Himari-chan.”

“My Akane’s amazing, right?”

The female employee and Himari shared a high-five. Akane was happy everyone liked her food, but this energy was a bit too much even for her. Meanwhile, the owner crossed his arms.

“Now I won’t have to worry about a thing and just retire in peace, leaving the cafe to the two of you.”

“I have no intention of taking over, though.”

“I’m fine, too…”

“You two?! Couldn’t you have agreed at least in the heat of the moment?!”

Since Himari and Akane declined at the same time, the owner began tearing up. That said, Akane wanted to be a doctor in the future, so she couldn’t inherit the restaurant business. The businesswoman then paid for her check and waved her hand at Akane.

“See you tomorrow, Akane-chan. I can’t wait to try your delicious cooking tomorrow, too.”

“I don’t have any shift tomorrow, though…”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“Ugh…Okay.”

Akane didn’t have it in her to say no. She felt like the owner and Himari both gave the woman a thumbs-up behind her, too. After the storm of customers subsided and they closed up shop, Akane was taking a break at the counter, when Himari clung to her back.

“Great work today, Akane! I’m glad everyone liked your food!”

“…I guess.”

“Huh? You’re not all that happy, huh? Well, I’m feeling great that everyone appreciated my best friend!”

“I really am. It’s just…”

“Just?” Himari tilted her head.

Akane hesitated to continue her words. Having someone praise her cooking definitely didn’t feel bad at all. She felt a lot more fulfilled working here than studying at home. However…the happiness she felt when Saito would praise her…it’s lacking here.
