"Of course, let's talk in the store."

After seeming to breathe a sigh of relief, the woman walked into the shop with Kei.

................................

Inside the staff lounge.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself first. My name is Kyoko Tamura, and I am the manager of this coffee shop."

"How should I put it, today is the first day the store opens."

"An employee suddenly asked for sick leave.... The new store was short of manpower when it opened, and she asked for leave because of an emergency. I just called, so..."

"For a while, I didn't come up with any good countermeasures."

"At this time, I happened to see you."

"If you're not wearing a school uniform, you shouldn't be a student from a nearby high school, and you don't look like an office worker in terms of your age. If you're wandering around the mall at this time."

"I think it's better to ask you to have a better chance, that's why what happened later."

"Anyway, I'm really sorry for bringing you here so forcefully."

After saying this, Tamura Kyoko stood up from her seat and bowed to Kei.

"So, can you agree? As long as today is one day, the double daily salary is [-] yen."

Her eyes stayed on Kei's face, waiting for an answer.

"Um....."

Although I said that I came here to work, but I was a little troubled when I encountered this situation.

However, the answer has been decided from the beginning.

Kei thought about it and nodded.

"Thank you...."

Finally, the immediate urgent problem was resolved, and Ms. Tamura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that even the voice of speaking has become more gentle.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

What about the name... Megumi tilted her head when she thought about it.

"The name is Kato Megumi."

Megumi Kato... always seems to have heard it somewhere.

Ms. Tamura continued talking while strange thoughts were born in her mind.

"Oh, Kato-san, I'm counting on you today."

When she said that, her voice was full of serious requests.

"Well... Manager Tamura, I will work hard."

Manager Tamura looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall and pointed at [-]:[-].

"Let me tell you about your work today."

"The job of the employee on leave today is to deliver meals."

"So to put it simply, the meals prepared in the backstage of the kitchen are sent to the guests' tables. As for the order, they must be arranged according to the numbers on the number plate. The people at the front desk will remind you when the time comes."

"Well, I see."

Hui nodded.

"Then, let's try on the work clothes first."

"Eh?"

........................

"So, work clothes = maid clothes?"

Looking at herself in the mirror, Hui couldn't help but feel a little urge to complain.

There is a conspicuous black ribbon decoration on the head, the whole is based on black and white, the knee-length skirt is white with lotus leaves, plus fluffy lace, and a big bow as decoration, and the one-piece dress Below are black straight socks.

What a serious maid outfit.

Chapter 3 Preparations before opening

"Kato-san, does the uniform still fit?"

"The size is still suitable, there is no problem."

After answering that, Megumin walked out of the dressing room and came outside the waiting room.

At some point, it seemed that all the employees of this coffee shop had gathered outside.

Store Manager Tamura stood in front of everyone, talking as if he was giving a lecture before opening in his memory.

"It's time for business soon."

"Today Sena-san asked for leave because of illness, and Kato-san will take her place."

As Ms. Tamura said so, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Kei.

"Marina, Kato-san will leave it to you~"

"Okay, Manager Tamura!"

The girl who responded to her was standing on Megumin's left.

Her short hair and vigorous smile not only make her look very friendly, but also reveal a calm and reliable temperament.

"Other things are the same as I said before. Let's work hard together in today's business."

"Understood, manager~"

After the lecture, everyone returned to their positions.

The girl named Marina walked towards Kei.

"Is it Kato-san? Please give me your advice today, and you can come to me if you have any questions?"

"My name is Marina Yamane, let's work together today~"

Smiling kindly, Marina returned to her seat at the front desk after she finished speaking.

It is impossible to say that there is no pressure, and Hui is not without tension. After all, no one can be 100% sure that he can do things well.

But as long as you do your best, that's enough.

So nothing to worry about.

Waiting in the back kitchen resting seat with a plate, probably the number of guests will not increase until it is close to noon.

In addition, do you want to work part-time here for a long time?

It seems that the atmosphere here is also good, and Ms. Tamura also looks very good.

Seems like a good choice.

While thinking about these questions, Hui's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice from beside him.

"Are you Kato-san?"

The petite girl in front of her didn't know when she leaned over.

"Um.."

Hui quietly nodded.

"Well, my name is Sano Ayane! Like Kato-san, I am also in charge of delivering meals to customers. It's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Ms. Sano greeted her very politely. Her short shoulder-length brown hair was shining brightly, with light makeup on her face, and her petite figure looked very cute. Coupled with the maid outfit on her body,

It feels like a fairy maid.

Kei also introduced herself again.

"My name is Megumi Kato, Miss Sano, please take care of me today too."

"Huh? Kato Megumi?!"

Hearing her words, Sano repeated her name in surprise for some reason.

Those clear eyes suddenly became sparkling, and she began to look carefully at Hui in front of her.

"That? Sano-san...do you have any questions?"

"..wow..how..would..so.."

Her speech became slurred, as if incoherent from excitement.

After a while, she calmed down a little, and the spliced ​​words in her mouth finally became complete.

"It really seems!"

"And the name is exactly the same!"

"It's like the real Kato Megumi has traveled to reality."

Her last words made her back stiffen involuntarily.

Even so, Hui had a calm smile on his face and tilted his head slightly, as if to express his bewilderment.

"Sano-san, what are you talking about?"

"I was saying... eh?"

Seeing Kei who didn't understand the situation at all, Ayane calmed down a little.

"Doesn't Kato-san watch anime?"

"Hmm... I have watched the anime. I used to watch Sailor Moon carefully when I was a child. I still remember it very clearly."

Hearing Kei's words, Ayane couldn't help but sighed.

"Ah... that means you haven't seen it now..."

"Kato-san, you must have never watched "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine"?"

Kei shook her head calmly and answered.

"Unfortunately, I haven't seen it."

"Then you must watch it when you come back! Kato-san, the heroine of that animation is very similar to you! And even the name is exactly the same!"

Speaking of this, Ayane became a little excited again.

"Wow, there is such a coincidence in the world, Mr. Fukasaki may be based on you!"

"Kato-san, did an artist look for you before?"

"Kato-san, if you cosplay Kato Megumi like this now, you will be the three-dimensional Kato Megumi! The one that ranks absolutely number one."

Sano Ayane's thoughts were endlessly diverging, although Kei in front of her never opened her mouth to respond to her.

Just watched calmly, listening to her words.

"Sano!"

The head chef who came out suddenly from the back kitchen knocked her on the head.

"It's too noisy. The guest will come to work soon, so prepare carefully for me!"

"Well...... I know! Go now!"

Ayane, who held her head in her hands, fell silent instantly, and walked towards the tableware area next to her.

Seeing Sano leaving, the head chef turned his head and looked towards Hui.

"Kato-san, right?"

She showed a kind and gentle smile.

"This child is too excited to meet a stranger, please don't care."
