[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.

[Yamazaki's very first day as a bus boy. He's easily embarrassed and he's a natural born punching bag. Enjoy!]

[nolicenseyet]

[It's just as well that one of your bosses doesn't make a habit of punching people.

Except in special circumstances.

She tilted her head a little. This wasn't someone she recognized.]

Who are you?

[anpan_tan]

Yamazaki Sagaru, pol...khm, I applied for a job here as a...bus boy?

He bowed and smiled at the young woman.

[nolicenseyet]

['Pol-khm'? What was that?

Though she recognized the name. It was the one Keroro had told her about. The one he said he didn't really expect to succeed.]

I'm Eve.

[anpan_tan]

[He still thought of himself as a police-officer. Poor guy.]

Nice to meet you. So, where to start?

[How mean it was from Keroro! He was right, though.]

[nolicenseyet]

[...why are you asking her? She didn't know the first thing about how to bus tables.]

...you could try practicing. [Hm...] I can pretend to be your customer.

[...she may or may not be a bit bored. Also, she kind of wants to see if Keroro's assessment is correct.]

[anpan_tan]

Yes, my lady. So, please take a seat and err...take your time and let me know if you chose from the menu.

[He wonders how deep he1s in a pinch.]

[nolicenseyet]

...why are you calling me 'my lady'?

[That being said, she does go take a seat.]

[anpan_tan]

You...you are a precious guest of Hikan Cafe now. I can call you Princess if you want to...

[He did find the menu and gave it to Eve]

[nolicenseyet]

I think 'Miss' would be fine. [Taking the menu now and pretending to look it over even though she knew the entire thing by heart.] What would you recommend?

[anpan_tan]

Miss Princess or Miss is enough?

[Itou-kun was right. He must memorize the menu...What to recommend, hm...He tried to peek over Eve's shoulder.]

Our chocolate cake is the best in the city!

[nolicenseyet]

...just 'Miss' is enough.

Okay. What would you reccomend I should have with it?

[anpan_tan]

[What a tricky question!]

I'd recommend a fork and a plate, it's kind of hard to deal with cakes without them.

[nolicenseyet]

[...she's beginning to see why Keroro said he didn't expect this guy to succeed.]

I meant what I should drink with it.

[anpan_tan]

Oh. I see.

[Why does Eve-san make such an odd face?]

Apple juice? It's fresh and healthy.

[nolicenseyet]

...but it doesn't really go with chocolate cake.

[anpan_tan]

Mineral water, then?

[What a frightening girl!]

[nolicenseyet]

[If this were school, Yamazaki would have gotten a big red 'F' stamped on his forehead.]

I'll have a coffee. Black.

[anpan_tan]

[Hopefully Eve doesn't have any kind of stamps around.]

As you wish, guest-sama!

[Yamazaki bows but right after that he takes a quick look at eve.]

You know that black coffee is very, very bitter, don't you?

[nolicenseyet]

Yes. I know.

[anpan_tan]

O-okay. I'll bring a coffee and chocolate cake in a moment!

[nolicenseyet]

[She'll just wait for him then. While he's gone she'll take the time to observe some of the patrons eating in the cafe.]

[anpan_tan]

[He runs back with the cake and the coffee and places it at the table in front of Eve.]

A black coffee and chocolate cake. Do you still need something?

[nolicenseyet]

...no, that will be it for now.

Thank you.

[anpan_tan]

You're welcome!

[sheepish smile]

So, what do you think of me as a bus boy?
