Are you sure you're okay?

I'm totally fine! Fully recovered!

And I got lots of sleep, so don't worry.

Well, that's good, then.

Hayato-kun was really worried about you, too.

I've never seen him look so flustered before.

He was that worried?

Yep.

110!

Go call 110!

He really freaked out.

What the heck? What good would it do to call the police?

I know, right?

I see... But, you know...

It's not a bad feeling.

Anyway, I guess I should probably thank Hayato-kun, huh?

Seems like I had him pretty worried.

Wow, you're a student at Tokyo U?

That's awesome!

I'm on leave right now, though.

That's still amazing.

And you're pretty hot, too.

Hey, give us your contact info!

Let's hang out sometime!

Please?

Uh...

Yes! I'm so sorry!

I'll come take your order right away. Please wait at your table.

Riho, are you feeling better now?

Don't work too—

Don't think you can just chat me up!

Naturally wavy-haired jerk!

Huh?!

What's wrong, Hayacchi?

I showed concern for Riho's health, and she insulted me.

A woman's heart is as fickle as the autumn sky.

It's still the peak of summer, though...

I'm so bored.

Yeah...

Think they're busy over there?

I dunno.

But you know, I'm lucky you know how to make coffee.

Huh? Why?

Well, one of us has to stay here at the café.

Now I don't have to work with that nagging boss of ours,

even if it's just for the summer.

Hey, Ouka...

If you're bored, want to practice making coffee?

Huh? Why?

Wow, that's pretty cool!

Excuse me!

Coming!

See ya later.

Thank you for waiting!

We'll get three watermelon parfaits, too.

You got it.

The waitresses here sure are top-class, huh?

Thanks! Come see us every day if you want!

Hey, guys! You came to see us again?

Is that what they call natural talent?

That sociable, friendly vibe she gives off...

She's like that at college, too.

I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like Riho-chan.

Huh...

Did she study that somewhere or something?

Interpersonal skills or whatever?

I have no idea.

Riho-chan doesn't usually talk about herself that much.

Huh...

Speaking of college, you're both in your third year, right?

Yeah.

Not that I'm one to talk,

but shouldn't you be looking for permanent jobs?

Uh... I guess so...

I'm all right, though. I have a prospect.

Yeah? Does it involve cooking?

Yeah, sort of.

Then instead of just working part-time at a piddly café like this,

shouldn't you be working a job where you can learn more cooking skills?

That's not true at all! I mean...

You mean what?

Nothing.

Captain!

I'm permitted to unconditionally beat up any dude-types who come here, correct?

I never authorized that action.

But we're under attack by enemy units again!

Enemy units?

Over there!

Hey! Stop it!

C'mon, just sit down.

Chat with us.

I said, stop!

Those guys...

The ones who messed with us at the Cherry Blossom Festival...

They're still pulling crap like this?

Private Tsuruga!

I'm giving you a mission to rescue Tsukishima Riho!

Go ahead and scare the life out of them!

Yes, sir!

You boys sure are full of pep.

But this is a café.

How about I take your order first?

Wh-Who the hell is this?

Wait... That ponytail...

Rustle, rustle!

We have a Shoryuken, a Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, and our summer special, the Somersault Kick.

What'll it be?

She changed her mask...

Wait, isn't this...

Act now, and you can punch one of our wait staff, on the house!

Immediate initiation of legitimate self-defense!

It is you!

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Well...

Hurry up and place your order!

We're busy here!

That wasn't really what I meant by scaring them...

Whoa! Akane-chan!

It's kinda overflowing!

You poured too much in at once.

Yeah, but...

I won't need you here.

Go help at the beach hut.

Hey! Don't give up on me!

Thank you for stopping by!

Thanks for the grub!

Come back when Mad Dog Ouka-san is here!

Mad Dog

Like hell we will!

Th-Thanks. I'm not sure what just happened, but you saved me there.

Not at all!

Hayacchi told me to come and save you!

He did?

Come to think of it, Hayacchi seemed kinda down earlier.

He said he showed concern for you, and then you insulted him.

Was he that upset?

Yeah. He was making a face like this.

That dork. I was just kidding around.

It's not a bad feeling, though.

Oh, all right. I guess I'll go apologize.

See? Isn't he hot?

He is!

Hot and a Tokyo U student!

Talk about high-spec!

And that bit of curl to his hair is so cute!

Uh...

Riho?

It's just naturally wavy!

Mad Dog Ouka-chan!

Mad Dog Ouka-chan!

Th-Th-The Mad Dog!

Wh-What's your problem?

What's wrong with Hayato-kun?

He said no breaks other than the Obon Festival, right?

Despite how he sounded, I think he's just looking out for us.

Yeah! We've been really busy for a long time.

Plus, he was worried because Riho-san keeps working too hard.

Wait, really?

In that case...

We'd better have a damn good time!

The beach!

Sweet! There's nobody around!

You're right!

Yeah, 'cause it rained all morning.

It's like our own private beach!

Hey, Shiragiku.

Do you know where Hayato is?

Hayato-kun's where he always is.

Catch anything?

Not really.

I'm not trying to catch anything, anyway.

Only people who catch something get to say that.

Shut up.

It's been years since I played around at the beach.

I know. I think it's been since grade school for me.

Wow, that long?

Da-dun... Da-dun...

Now that you mention it, whenever we went to a pool or beach in grade school,

there was always some boy who peed in the water.

Farting's one thing, but...

Did... you just fart?

Um... Are you okay?

N-No way! I did not!

That wasn't me! I didn't fart!

I was thinking about a new song. A summery one.

Yeah? As a fan, I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Make it as exciting as your usual stuff.

Nope, this one's a ballad.

My first... love song.

Hey! I bet it was Ami-chan playing a prank!

I know you're there! Get out here, Ami-chan!

So...

Want to hear the lyrics?

What the heck is this?! It's crazy strong!

Hey! The lyrics!

Later! I've got a big one on—

Ta-da! It was m—

That was so much fun!

Ami-chan, you seem kinda down.

Hayacchi chewed me out bigtime.

Damn right I did.

Anyway, Ouka, I heard you farted in the water?

I did not!

Ami told me you did.

Ami-chan!

She bolted!

Come on in!

If you need a break, try out Seaside Café Familia!

Hey, isn't this the place?

The one with the cute girls that's all the rage on the internet?

Yep! This is the place!

Order up.

Got another order. Three watermelon parfaits.

Got it.

What a crowd, huh?

Yeah. Must be thanks to our chief of promotions, Riho.

Must be.

She really is a customer service genius.

I'm so glad we have her.

Have a seat right over here.

Oh, our summer-only watermelon parfait is really good!

Hey, lady!

Coming!

I told her to take a break.

Sure is slow here.

Hayato will yell at you again for serving customers in that thing.

No problem! I'll take it off if any come in!

Hey, Ami...

If you're that bored, want to practice making coffee?

Yeah! Let's do it!

A break?

I don't need one yet.

I'm having everyone do equal work.

Besides,

you didn't even eat breakfast because you said you had prep work to do.

Yeah, but we're getting a ton of customers right now.

No! Take a break!

If you won't do as your boss says, you'll be fired.

Yep! The staff meals you make are always the best, Kiku-chan!

You can eat a little slower.

Fine!

And I think you could probably slow down your work pace, too.

I know what Hayato-kun said to you,

but I think he's just really worried.

Excuse me.

Coming.

I know that.

It's just that I'm really happy.

Huh?

It feels good being needed so much by someone.

How's this?

Well, Akane-san?

Oh... Yeah. Not bad, actually.

Well, it's just pouring water in, right?

Anyone can do that!

You'd think so.

Okay, I'll teach you in a little more detail now.

Yes, Coffee Master!

Don't call me that.

Got a summer cold? Figures.

Snap!

What's that mean?! You saying I'm stupid?!

Um, excuse me.

I'm with TTS TV,

and I'd like to interview you for a news feature on beach huts.

Huh?

We heard one of your waitresses here was getting rave reviews.

Wow! They must be talking about Riho-san!

Sure, that's fine. Riho is—

My break's over now!

Wait, what's all the fuss in here?

Wait...

Riho-chan? As in Tsukishima Riho?

Huh? Uh, yes...

I knew it!

I used to work on a variety show with you! Remember me?

I guess not, huh? I was still just an AD then.

Uh... Hi.

It's good to see you again, Nomura-san.

Oh, you do remember me!

You know each other?

Idiot! How can you not know her?

This is the genius child star who got her big break fifteen years ago,

Tsukishima Riho!

Um, I'm sorry, but I'd rather not talk about my past.

Oh, sorry.

A child star? Riho-san?

They just said that's Tsukishima Riho!

Huh? Who?

Come to think of it, she used to be on TV all the time!

But then she just sorta disappeared.

She had black hair and a nice, clean look.

She's sure lost her innocence.

She was such a star, and now that she's grown, she's working part-time?

What a fall from grace.

Um... Riho-chan...

Riho-san!

Aw, damn. I shouldn't have done that.

Shiragiku,

go check on her.

S-Sure!

Ouka, go get Ami.

Two of you won't be enough to handle all this.

Uh... Sure.

Hey...

Why isn't Riho-san here?

Why?!

She said she's not feeling well.

But we promised we'd all eat meals together!

Shut up and eat.

You can have my Hamburg steak.

Really?!

Yay! Hamburg!

I'm sorry, Riho.

I can't be with you anymore.

But why?! I've been working so hard for you and Mom!

Then I'll work even harder!

Please don't go away!

Help, Ululman!

The monster's gonna eat everyone!

Please save us, Ululman!

Was she that big a deal as a child actress?

Yeah, she was huge.

You could probably find videos if you searched for them.

But her mother... well, she was very passionate.

Some said she was overworking her daughter.

Her husband wasn't too happy about that,

so he asked the TV station not to push her too hard.

Riho-san...

Aw, man.

I guess everyone knows now.

I was hoping no one stopping by a run-down old café by the beach would recognize me...

But I guess I brought it upon myself in the end.

Pretty stupid, huh?

Riho-chan...

Thank you, Ululman!

Then, around when she started showing up on TV less often...

I started hearing rumors that Riho-chan's parents had divorced.

Riho, please don't work too hard.

I'm worried about your health.

Don't worry! I'm okay!

And I'll work even harder! Watch me, Dad!

I mean, my mom gave me so much praise when I worked hard.

Besides, it didn't make sense.

If he was that worried about me,

then why...

So this is where you were.

I've been looking for you.

Hayato-kun... Why?

Shiragiku said your dinner's in the fridge,

so eat it if you're hungry.

You came out here just to tell me that?

Yeah, and also...

It seems like I had the wrong idea.

Huh?

I thought your sociable nature was a talent you were born with,

but it's not.

When I thought about it, I realized

it's a trade skill you obtained through hard work just to get by in life.

That was what I had in mind, at least.

The world and the TV industry are both harsh.

Once I grew up, they all latched onto a new child star

and wouldn't even look at me anymore.

In the end, child stars are disposable.

Some other kid who looked like me would just be forced to do the same stuff I did.

No amount of polite behavior or sucking up to important people did any good.

None of it meant a thing.

All it did was tear my family apart.

What a laugh.

Regardless of your family situation,

your sociable nature is indispensable to this café, both now and in the future.

Huh?

The reason business has been so much better than I expected,

and the reason we were able to open the beach hut,

was because we had you.

So, ultimately, the work you put in when you were a child star did have meaning.

And right now, above all, I'm really grateful to you.

Thanks for looking after Grandma's café.

I...

But you said we were your family, didn't you?

If we are, then no matter how the rest of them feel about it,

I, at the very least, don't want to put more stress on one family member than the others.

And yet...

What's your deal?

I keep telling you not to overdo it, because I'm worried about you!

B-But...

No buts!

I'm sick of saying it over and over! This is the last time!

But...

Riho, please don't work too hard.

I'm worried about your health.

Then don't go away!

What? I'm not going anywhere! Stop crying, you idiot!

I'm so glad!

Hey!

What are you doing?!

I'll stay here with you, Hayato-kun!

I'll always be here!

Okay, okay! Just get off me!

Pat my head, then!

Don't be a baby!

What? You knew?

Yeah. I saw you on TV all the time.

I thought that must be who you were when I heard your name, too.

But whoever you are, you're still Riho.

What you were in the past doesn't matter.

Now, you're just part of the family.

Yep!

That's right!

You guys...

I saw the videos! You were such a cutie!

Hey!

You grew up so big! Your big sister is so happy!

Did you actually meet Ululman?! Was he really that strong?!

Come on! You're burning my head!

Just cut it out already! I'm the big sister here!

And Ululman is just a costume!

Oh, good! You're back to the usual Riho-san!

Just a costume?

Enough being dumb! It's time to get to work!

Hey.

Listen...

That crying yesterday... It was all just an act.

Don't take it seriously, okay?

Oh, really?

Well, that's a genius child star for you.

That's "super genius child star"!

Wah! Don't go away!

Hey!

Episode 10: "Ouka and Kikka"

So you had the clean, black-haired look back then, huh?

But that would overlap with Shiragiku-san—

Hayato-kun! Let's lock ourselves in a hot, sweaty grapple!

Stop it!

Oh, yeah, I guess that doesn't overlap with anyone.
