[open] It's a time for new beginnings! And keychains. And making money

[nolicenseyet]

Characters: Keroro, Eve and anyone else in Metokkori R and the Hikan Cafe
Location: Metokkori R and the Hikan Cafe
Rating: G...unless you bring something higher with you.
Time: Febuary 21 onwards~
Description: The Hikan Cafe's grand re-opening and the first Chara Misfortune Series are going on sale!



Long time(?) customers of Metokkori R will notice some changes when they step into the store today. For one, part of the wall between the store and the Hikan Tea Shop has been broken down, and there's a glass shoji-styled sliding door installed in its place. If the customers are feeling peckish they can step through the door and enter to newly renovated Hikan Cafe...after paying for what they bought, of course.

The Hikan Tea shop has been renovated to match Metokkori R's decor. The place has a cute, friendly look to it, perfect for hanging out with friends, going on a date, or for family outings.

More important than all that, though, are the brightly coloured banners hanging from the ceiling of both stores advertising the "Chara Misfortune ☠ Metokkori R presents The Watch of Death City!". The whole series includes keychains of all the Zone Leaders and second in commands of the Watch. The display case near the cashier that usually displays Keroro's latest creation (read: Gunpla) is now proudly displaying a full set of Chara Misfortune Keychains.

Itou-kun...I didn't know you worked here!

[pawned]

[He gives Yamazaki a very long stare, notes what he's wearing, and sighs.]

You must be the new bus boy. And do not -kun me.

[anpan_tan]

Yes, I'm a bus boy, that's what Boss-san said. And you should be glad you're not alone here, you know!

[pawned]

I wasn't alone here in the first place. Do you even know how to bus? The rags for the tables are these-- [points at a set under the counter] and those are the trays-- [point point] and here are the mats, napkins, cutlery-- [point point point].

[anpan_tan]

[grins]

I didn't know...until now. Thank you, Itou-kun! I hope you'll help me out in the future, too. Because you are smart and I am not.

[pawned]

That's not something you should be admitted so cheerfully. Stop using your idiocy as a crutch to ask other people for help. [making a face] I'll have to ask Keroro-dono about your work so I can better boss you around.

[anpan_tan]

To boss me around? There's no need of it...I can boss myself well enough. I only need your advices.

admitting* sorry, typo!

[pawned]

If you're going to ask me about every part of your work, it'll be hard if I don't know what you're supposed to do. Did Keroro-dono say anything about seating customers and taking orders?

I thought of my typos, I didn't notice yours :)

[anpan_tan]

No, we didn't talk in person. He just told me I'd be a bus boy and I'll work at the afternoons, and...I'll help with closing.

Hahaha!

[pawned]

[RESIGNED, HEADACHE SIGH. Drinking his own tea, yes.] I'll talk to him.

[anpan_tan]

Thank you very much!

[sudden suspicion!]

Do you want to talk to him about me being fired?

[pawned]

It didn't occur to me, but thank you for the suggestion. I might do that if in the future, you prove to be an unskilled busboy. [GLASSES GLINT.]

[anpan_tan]

Itou-kun! This was a very bad joke! You know that I am unskilled as a busboy, I never did this kind of work before!

[pawned]

Then I hope you learn fast, Yamazaki-kun. I won't let an idiot get in the way of this café's success. [OMINOUS SMILE.]

[anpan_tan]

[that face scares cherries, too. They jump down from the tree to run away.]

I...I'll learn very fast. Trays, naps, matkins, butlery...Yes! I'll be a pro in a day for not bringing shame on your head, Itou-kun!

[not being fired would be closer to truth, though]

[pawned]

Excellent. I'm counting on you. [Still smiling that smile.] Any busboy's first task is to memorize the store's menu.

[anpan_tan]

I-itou-kun, why is your smile so wide?

[Yamazaki has the feeling that this is a situation. And not the best one.]

[pawned]

Because I'm so happy to have you around. [SMILE IS BIGGER.]

[anpan_tan]

Re-really? For me? Do you smile for me?

[this is SO TOUCHING!!!]

[pawned]

[THE SMILE IMMEDIATELY DROPS.]

No, not really. Get back to work, Yamazaki-kun.

[anpan_tan]

Yes.

[What a fake hope it was, gaining anyone's smile for someone like him! Yamazaki returned to his only buddies, the mats, napkins and trays.]

[pawned]

[To be fair, Itou doesn't actually smile much in the first place unless he's raining terror into other people and/or manipulating them. He's just going to go back to his work if Yamazaki is going to do his...]
