Part 1Part 2

Tsuzuru	Director, please!
Izumi	Eh, what's the matter?
Taichi	What?! Don't tell me, you're asking for a relationship?!
Muku	Eh?! T-then, this is a confession?!
	Director and Tsuzuru are a co-co-couple?!
Izumi	Err, you guys sure are stretching this conversation way too far. But really, what's wrong?
Tsuzuru	For a week only, I want to go help my friend in his part-time work
Izumi	Part-time work?
Tsuzuru	A university friend asked me. Seems like they're troubled because they don't have enough manpower, so I couldn't say no
	I will try not to hinder the practice! Please!
Izumi	I understand. There's no particular prohibition in part-time, so it should be fine.
Tsuzuru	Really? I'm relieved
Taichi	What a letdown, so it's not a love confession. It's because Tsuzuru-kun suddenly lowered his head, I thought I was right.
Muku	I-I was surprised. I thought I was going to witness a dramatic scene
Tsuzuru	Come on, even if that was true, I wouldn't suddenly confess in front of you all. It's common sense.
Taichi	Anyway, Tsuzuru-kun, you sure are tough. There's university, part-time work, and also practice. Isn't it pretty hard?
Tsuzuru	It's fine. I'm used to doing multiple tasks like part-time, so I have physical fitness.
Muku	Amazing, Tsuzuru-san, you're so cool...!
Izumi	Oh right, you did say you used to do a lot of part-time work.
Taichi	Hee-! I wonder if I should do a part-time work too~
	It's like something a popular person would do!
Tsuzuru	Popular, huh...
	Ah, there's a part-time work where you wear costumes. So you'll be popular, with kids though.
Taichi	I want to be popular with girls, not with kids! And your face wouldn't be visible in the first place!!
Tsuzuru	Haha, I was joking.
Muku	Part-time job... I want to try it someday too.
Taichi	Ah, Mucchan could work in a florist or something like that!
Tsuzuru	Now that you said it, Taichi looks suitable in part-time job
	If you work in restaurants, I think girls would frequently come too. Doesn't that sound good?
Taichi	Oh, I see!
Izumi	Tsuzuru-kun, take care of yourself.
Tsuzuru	Yes, I will!
Izumi	Finally, meeting's over. Next is in... one hour and a half later.
	(I have quite some time until the next meeting... I guess I'll take a break with coffee)
???	Welcome!
Tsuzuru	Huh, it's Director!
Izumi	Tsuzuru-kun?

Izumi	So this is the part-time job that you're talking about?
Tsuzuru	Yes. Now that I remembered, I didn't tell you which shop it was. My bad.
Izumi	It's okay. Hmm, which one should I get. Do you have any recommendations?
Tsuzuru	Let's see, we have a classic here but... How about Cafe Latte? It's moderately sweet and it's quite popular
Izumi	Oh, sounds good. Then, I'll have Cafe Latte please.
Tsuzuru	Alright, please wait a moment
	Thank you for waiting, here's your Cafe Latte
Izumi	Thank you. As expected, you're used to running around.
Tsuzuru	I've done part-time jobs at cafe in the past as well. So I'm used to it.
Izumi	I see
Tsuzuru	I used to be so nervous to carry a lot of coffee and not spilling them. Now, I can do it.
Izumi	Yeah, you've become amazing at this now, it fits you
Tsuzuru	Thank you very much. Haha, you're making me a little bit embarrassed
Tsuzuru's Friend	Tsuzuru! Please take this order to that table!
Tsuzuru	Ah, roger that!
	Alright then, Director, please enjoy your time
Izumi	Okay, thank you
Tsuzuru's Friend	Thank you. This is for table number 2. After that, clean up this one.
Tsuzuru	Okay. Ah, I'll also refill the water, fetch me the pitcher
Izumi	(It's rare to see Tsuzuru-kun talking with his friend. I usually didn't pay attention, but he's still a student after all)
Tsuzuru	Welcome
Taichi	Ah, there he is! Tsuzuru-kun, we've come!
Tsumugi	Hello
Tsuzuru	Huh, everyone came too
Muku	'Too'? ...Huh, it's Director!
Taichi	Director-sensei is here too!
Izumi	Yes. I was just taking a break, but I didn't think that Tsuzuru-kun would be working here
Tsumugi	So that's how it is
	After hearing from these two, I decided to go with them as well
Taichi	As expected from Strong Arms Part-Time Worker Tsuzuru-kun! Being a coffee shop's clerk fits him!
Tsuzuru	Flattering won't get you anywhere, you know?
Taichi	Geez! It didn't work after all...
Tsumugi	Ahaha
Tsuzuru	Alright, here's the menu. What would you like to order?
Taichi	Then, I'll have Ginger Ale!
Tsumugi	I'll have Coffee. How about you, Muku?
Muku	Err, what did Director have?
Izumi	It's Cafe Latte. It was Tsuzuru-kun's recommendation.
Muku	Then, I'll have the same!
Tsuzuru	Okay, please wait a moment
Taichi	Oh, doesn't this parfait on the menu look so good?!
	The fruits are overloaded, looks delicious~!
Muku	You're right, there're ice cream and star-shaped cookies too!
Izumi	(Unexpectedly, this has become a busy teatime)
Tsumugi	By the way Director, what were you working today?
Izumi	Today, I was just-- Wait, crap! It's almost time for the next meeting!
Muku	Eh?! Director, you have a meeting?!
Izumi	I was so relaxed that I forgot! Sorry. I'll be going first.
Taichi	Director-sensei, fight!
Izumi	Yes, thank you.
	Tsuzuru-kun, thanks for the drinks. Good luck on your part-time work!
Tsuzuru	Yes, thank you very much. You too, Director!
Izumi	Thank you.
Izumi	(Seeing Tsuzuru-kun in his part time job, and then having fun teatime with everyone. I have to work hard in the next meeting!)
