"We're back-"
"We're back~"
Oh, that must be Himeji-san and Minami. We're saved!
"Just nice. I'm sorry, I know you girls are tired, but can you please help out outside?"
After both of them went for their match, we brought Hideyoshi and Hazuki, who have changed into the cheongsams, around the school. Though I felt that the initial effect wasn't great, but slowly, the number of customers starts to increase-about the time when Himeji-san's match was over. Most of the seats are filled up, so it seems that we were very successful.
"Good, it's back to how it was."
"Great."
"The number of female customers have also increased. Looks like everyone's talking about how good our food is."
Because I was unlucky to get a bad one, I don't know how good our food is, but from everyone's reaction, the teahouse seem to be doing well. I have a feeling that the reason why the number of customers have increased is because of the cheongsams.
"Then, can you two help out by being attendants?"
"No problem."
"OK."
Both of them sway their cheongsams as they head off to get some menus and a pen. With this, the number of customers should increase.
"Can I order something from you?"
"Ah, yes. May I know what you want?"
Just as I'm basking in the silhouette of those two, the customer nearby called me. In order not to be disrespectful, I immediately whipped out the menu and pen.
"I want some traditional Oolong tea and some sesame balls."
"Got it. So, let me repeat the order. You asked for traditional Oolong tea and sesame balls, right?"
After writing the order down, I lift my head towards the customer to confirm the order...eh? Isn't this the head of teaching staff, Takehara-sensei? He came here again.
"Thank you very much. We'll serve your food soon, so please wait."
"I got something else to ask, may I?"
"Go ahead."
Takehara-sensei asked me as I was heading towards the kitchen. In response, I turned back.
"I heard that there's a student called Yoshii Akihisa here. May I know who he is?"
"Eh? I'm Yoshii Akihisa..."
I'm surprised that he's looking for me without any forewarning. What is the head of teaching staff looking for me for?
"Oh, I see. You're Yoshii-kun? (laughs)"
"Head of Staff, I feel that it's weird to laugh when you mentioned my name."
"Ah, I'm really sorry. But I can't just call Yoshii-kun, a student, 'idiot'."
"Em, excuse me, may I know what do the teachers in the staff room call me?"
Why is the term 'idiot' always associated with me?
"Aki, Tsuchiya called from the kitchen, saying that we ran out of tea leaves, and he's asking you to get them." Just as the conversation was under way, Minami has already prepared herself and walked in.
"K, got it. Sensei, can I leave now?"
"No problem, I'm not looking for you because of any particular reason."
