The Other Half [Tokyo Ghoul FanFiction]

Chapter 6: Anteiku

"Yaay! Coffee! Cake! Cookies!" Amaya sang as we got to Anteiku.

"Yeah, yeah." I mumbled.

I opened the door and a waft of coffee hit me.

"Welcome!" A woman with black hair said.

"H-hello. I'm. Here about the job opening?"

"Oh! You must be Nagao Mitsuru then! I'll go get the manager. Hey Enji, get them some coffee!"

"On the double!" He said.

Amaya and I sat down as the man called Enji handed us some cups of coffee.

"I hope you don't mind coffee with some milk in it."

I looked at the coffee and the thought of milk disgusted me.

"I'm sorry sir. I prefer mine black and no sugar." I said apologetically.

"Oh it's no problem. I should have asked you what you liked." He said as he took my cup away.

He went back to the counter and began making my coffee. He came back shortly after and I was just about to take a sip when the woman came back with an old man following her.

"Are you the one that applied a few days ago?" The old man asked.

"Yes sir. I am Nagao Mitsuru." I said as I bowed my head.

"Heeh? Is that the new guy?" A guy with glasses remarked.

"Be nicer Nishiki!" A girl with one eye covered said.

She elbowed the guy in the stomach and he spilled coffee on the counter.

"Look at what you made me do!" He yelled.

"Shut up! You need to learn to be quiet more often." She bickered back.

"Please stop fighting you two."

I looked over and saw a guy with black hair and an eye patch..... Wait!

"Kaneki Ken?!" I blurted out.

He smiled nervously.

"Y-yes? That's me... Heh."

The manager looked at me curiously.

"You know Kaneki?"

I realized the situation and tried to awkwardly compose myself.

"Uh... Well, you see..."

"Mitsu-Chan was saved by a doctor just like Ken-Kun!" Amaya blurted out.

"Ken-Kun?" The one eye girl asked.

"I think she means me Touka." Kaneki said.

"Interesting.....Very Interesting." The old man said.

"Well then, Mitsuru. Have you ever worked in a cafe before?

"N-no sir. I've only worked moving boxes in previous jobs." I said.

"Hm... Well you can serve the coffee and carry in the deleries we have on Fridays of coffee beans." He said.

"Yes." I said.

"Oh, where are my manners?" My name is Yoshimura." He said.

He smiled and then looked at Kaneki.

"Kaneki, can you get his measurements done for the uniform?"

"Hu? Sure." He said.

"This way Mitsuru."

I followed Kaneki and went to a room that had a table in the middle. He grabbed a measuring tape and smiled.

"Arms up." He said.
