PLEASE WAIT FOR ME

This is Stile, the slightly offbeat coffee shop

where the workers have characteristics and interact with customers.

This is Kaho Hinata who plays the tsundere.

I-I don't especially want you to come over or anything!

Mafuyu Hoshikawa plays the little sister.

I was waiting for you, Big Brother!

And me, Maika Sakuranomiya. I play...

What are you staring at, mongrel?

SADIST

...a sadist!

SWEETS WITHOUT HONOR

I finally found a part-time job, but playing a sadist...

EH...

It's really hard to get used to.

Still, I owe this café that hired me with the naturally scary look in my eyes,

so I can't stay a newbie forever!

I need to practice so I can get used to it fast!

Dumbass, dumbass, dumbass, dumbass, dumbass, dumbass, dumbass...

Scum, scum, scum...

Um, is this...

A curse?

Fat pig, fat pig, fat pig...

Oh, it's just Maika!

Sorry! I was just practicing my sadism!

Is that part of your practice, too?

M-Manager!

I had the sweetest dream.

You were sleeping?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was so focused on being sadistic!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I am so sorry!

You know what he was up to?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Staying up late watching anime again!

Being lost in thought is no excuse!

What I did was rude and embarrassing!

Get up already.

I'm sorry!

I wish...

I wish the manager...

I didn't want you to wake up.

Why am I like this?

I have to interact with the customers today, but this won't cut it!

I have to be more dignified and smile!

M-Maika...

I'll do my best on the job today, too!

Candy and a whip! Is that a new kind of play?

Should we prepare a bit before we change?

Good idea.

Smile.

Smile, smile, smile, smile.

Whoa!

What are you doing?

Smile, smile, smile, smile!

I just stumbled.

Table for two—

Are you okay?

(SMILE)

Y-Yes!

GULP...

Smile, smile.

Excuse me. Please give me your order once more.

HEH

Hold the pickles?

HAH

You were here yesterday, too, weren't you?

PFFT

Today's expression is better than ever!

SHIVER...

Smile!

Smile!

So, what are you doing in Japan?

I'm very much interested in Japanese culture.

Um, what's going on?

Maika, come here!

Look, a foreign customer!

I wonder what's up.

When the manager speaks English, he seems like a respectable person.

Yeah.

A live English conversation!

I want to be able to talk like that someday!

That's right! This is my chance to study! If I can catch what they're saying...

...you understand better.

Okay then!

RUMBLE RUMBLE

MAIKA SAKURANOMIYA

Nice to meet you!

Wow, a Japanese girl! With black hair!

Hello!

I've never seen such beautiful black hair before!

What should I do? I have no idea what he's saying!

At a time like this... That's it!

Like I saw in a movie once... I'll respond like I understand!

Sadistic...

GULP...

Well, Maika?

I think you're pretty well used to working here, aren't you?

Yes!

I've been smiling at the customers all day,

which seemed to please them!

- So that's her smile. - So that's her smile.

Well, let's start this month's meeting!

I'd like you to bring up something this café lacks.

What it lacks?

Like the variety of dishes on the menu, or anything!

There aren't enough girls.

There aren't enough girls!

It'd be nice to have two more, wouldn't it?

Like a big sister and a tomboy!

I'm not talking staff but customers!

Now that you mention it, the customers here are all males.

Well, that's the kind of café it is.

Um, Akizuki, why female customers?

It sounds dirty-minded!

I have nothing dirty in mind when I say I'm looking for female customers.

What I'm looking for is...

yuri!

Yuri?

What does that mean?

Crap! Sakuranomiya is a normal person!

It'll be a pain in the butt having to explain that otaku genre.

Well, how can I explain it?

You know, it's like when two girls are close.

But why are you looking for yuri customers, Akizuki?

Because if girls come to a place like this,

they'll feed each other a bite of their sweets or share it, of course.

I dig the sacred mystery and possibilities of allowable touching between girls.

Sacred mystery?

SQUEEZE

Holding hands!

Hugging each other in greeting!

SHEESH!

LONG TIME NO SEE!

JUST ONE BITE

An indirect kiss!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

GOOD

Buying underwear together! Et cetera!

That kind of thing is the mysterious domain girls are allowed to have!

I sense the dreams and possibilities inherent in that!

You're fired up today, huh, Akizuki?

If you want female customers here,

why not invite your girlfriend, Akizuki?

I don't have one. You trying to pick a fight?

Then how about your friends, Kaho?

Me?

Back in elementary school, we had a video game system at my house,

so a lot of male friends would come over to play,

but now I just have a lot of online friends.

I'm sorry!

Um, this wouldn't be customers,

but if you're looking for girls to eat here...

That's it! Maika and I can eat sweets here!

Yes! I like strawberry parfaits!

I like slightly bitter chocolate cake!

Okay, Manager?

I'll get on it right away!

It looks delicious!

Here, Maika! Have a bite!

Thank you!

Aaah!

Yummy!

Now let me have a bite of yours, Maika!

Sure!

I like "Kaho-Mai."

I choose "Manager x Maika."

This is the first time I've shared food with a friend!

Now that I realized it, I suddenly feel nervous!

Just like she said, I'll say "Aaah"!

Maika...

Why are you in work mode?

STARE...

Maika, are you listening to me? Maika!

The ice cream will melt and fall off the spoon!

Kaho...

Wh-What?

Open your mouth right now!

Maika, what's that stance for? What are you going to do?

I guess it's more "Mai-Kaho."

Stop! Stop! Stop!

I choose "Man-Mai."

I'm sorry!

I-I'll rinse it out with water, so please take off your vest!

That's okay, no problem! I'll put it in the washing machine at home.

Don't worry about it!

Take it off!

Maika!

- C'mon! Take it off! - Stop! Stop!

Should we put an end to this?

Probably.

Stop! Stop!

Sorry.

I'm late.

Tiptoe, tiptoe...

- Mafuyu! - Mafuyu!

Jeez.

What the heck were you two doing?

I'm sorry, Kaho.

I tried rinsing it out,

but there's still a small stain.

That's okay! Really, forget about it!

Um...

What should I do...

if the stain doesn't come out even in the washing machine?

Then I should...

do the same to my own clothes!

Maika, stop!

No, you're not!

Nooo!

What should I do?

I'm broke! And they're coming out with a new video game this month!

You just got paid.

I-I used it all at the arcade.

Huh? How could you use it all at the arcade?

You used too much!

What are you even gonna do with all of your winnings?

To be honest, I don't even care about the prizes.

I just respond to the challenge.

But I figured I'd give this one to either the manager or Mafuyu!

MAGICAL GIRL FRILL FIGURE

It's a Magical Girl Frill figure!

Well, I'm sure they'd both want it.

Right?

Manager...

Mafuyu...

A magical girl figure!

Magical Girl Frill!

I won't let anyone else have a magical girl figure, not even you, Mafuyu!

And I won't let any sacred kids' anime merch go to a guy

who changes waifus every three months!

Then I'll have to resort to force!

I was hoping you'd say that!

- Rock-paper-scissors! - Rock-paper-scissors!

C-Can I come in now?

My trailing frills are a sign of my neatness!

Magical Girl Frill!

MAGICAL GIRL FRILL EVERY SUNDAY AT 8:30 AM

I burned out. There's nothing left of me.

Is the manager okay?

I went easy on him, so he's all right.

More importantly, we need to have that discussion.

About making a new menu, was it?

Every season, that's the tradition.

We give customers a limited-time menu,

and the item that gets ordered the most is added to the regular menu.

Let's come up with an awesome menu togeth—

RUMBLE RUMBLE

Huh?

I want to get revenge for before!

Right now I'm broke, but I'm gonna win and get that new video game!

I'm gonna win and designate one day as Ladies' Day!

Um, it's competitive?

Of course!

We split up into two teams and the manager gives a prize to the winning side!

We'll draw sticks to split up into two teams of two and three people.

The sticks are colored.

Red team will have two people, blue team three people, including me.

Maika, you go first!

O-Okay.

Red.

Blue, huh? Let's win this, Akizuki!

Yeah.

Mafuyu, you're also red—

I feel a wave of hostility!

Mafuyu-Maika Team Strategy Meeting in progress! Keep out!!

U-Um...

Mafuyu...

I lost last time.

So I definitely want to win this time.

Because there's something I just have to have.

Understood!

Let's win! For sure!

I'll do my best!

Maika...

RUMBLE RUMBLE

That's right!

We'll put everything on the line to make minced meat out of them!

YIKES

I hope Maika will be okay.

Mafuyu takes this really seriously.

We don't have time to worry about the enemy.

Enemy?

He's right!

With apologies to Maika, we're going to win this contest.

- Ladies' Day! - The magical girl figure!

We'll win this with tower pancakes!

You two are really into this, huh?

I think we should go with parfaits for the new menu.

I like that!

To make an impact, we should produce something really eye-catching.

I like that!

But also keep the cuteness of what sweets should look like.

I like that!

The main point will be traditional strawberries.

I like that!

Maika!

I-I-I like that!

Jeez.

Your sole input is "I like that."

Don't you have your own opinion?

No. I thought I'd leave it to you since you have more experience.

If you're always that self-effacing, you'll have a tough time in the real world.

You and I are a team, so tell me your opinion.

Mafuyu...

Th-Then I'd like rabbit-shaped chocolate to be on the parfait!

You really are humble, aren't you?

Welcome!

LIMITED-TIME MENU

Special Parfait

Pancake Tower

Wow, this is their limited-time menu!

I'd be too embarrassed to order a parfait like this at a regular café.

But these pancakes look good, too! Which to go with?

I can't decide.

Mafuyu and I came up with that parfait!

- What? - Really?

Then I'll have a parfait!

I'll go with the pancakes!

Here's your parfait, sir!

- It's huge! - It's huge!

Dig in!

R-Right!

THUMP THUMP

H-Hey...

Spicy...

Salty...

Sour...

Is it so good that you jumped out of your chair?

Sadist!

BUZZ BUZZ

Maika's limited-time parfait?

Maika's dangerous limited-time parfait?

Limited-sadist play where you eat a dangerous parfait,

and then Maika asks you your opinion with a smile?

Excuse me! One sadistic parfait!

Me, too!

I'll have a sadistic parfait, please!

Sadistic parfait?

Out of ingredients, so closing for the day. Thank you for your understanding. -Stile

Yowser!

We finished a little early tonight, but good work!

Good job!

It was a total victory for Mafuyu and Maika!

But why did all the customers look so pale?

It's because the parfait Maika and Mafuyu made was so buono!

Maika?

Yes, we made an extraordinarily delicious parfait!

Thank you!

Huh? The ingredients—

I had them set aside just enough for one more!

Is that how a manager is supposed to act?

Here I go.

Manager?

M-Manager!

So what the hell did you put in there, Sakuranomiya?

W-Well, let's see...

A lot of sugar from the container with the black lid...

Salt, huh?

Vanilla essence I found in the back of the refrigerator...

Vinegar, huh?

And I wanted to make it colorful, so I put in a bit of the liquid from that small red bottle.

Tabasco, huh?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

The parfait won.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! How could I? I'm sorry!

But I don't think we can put it on the regular menu.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault the parfait didn't make the regular menu.

Still, a win is a win, and we're gonna get a prize, so it's all good.

Come to think of it, what's your prize gonna be, Maika?

I get a prize, too?

Of course.

You and I both won.

Before the contest, you have to get approval from the manager.

Isn't there something that you want?

But I feel like I already got a prize.

Other than my family, today was the first time I made something with someone.

It was a lot of fun!

So I kind of think that should be my prize!

Maika...

I'm telling you,

talking like that, you'll have a tough time in the real world!

Good morn—

I've been waiting for you.

Mafuyu!

What is this?

I wanted this outfit!

With your black hair, I knew it would look perfect on you!

It's even better than I imagined!

I won the contest, too!

You're part of my prize!

Look over here!

I've never seen Mafuyu so animated.

Yeah.

Amore! Mafuyu, I wanna participate in that photo event, too!

No way.

What?

This is embarrassing!

Welcome—

Akizuki, we have female customers!

What?

So Shiracchi is the catcher! Then you can eat anything!

But Gold is good , too!

With Gold, it'll be Gold x Silver!

I mean, have you seen the end card?

I saw it! It's lit! It's officially lit!

A-Akizuki?

Those girls are the polar opposite of what I had in mind.

GLOOM...

AFTER THE DATE, RATED R

Next time, "After the Date, Rated R"!
