[h3]Shizuka Otonashi || Cosplay Cafe || April 26 SUN[/h3] The familiar customer agreed to her suggestion and as she was about to excuse herself to bring him his first order, he inquired for her name. It must have slipped her mind the last time they met due to her early leave but it was compulsory for waiters and waitresses in this cafe to introduce their nickname or cosplayer name to their [i]masters[/i]. She fidgeted slightly with the rifle upon this realization before lowering her head in a short, apologetic bow. [color=violet]"O-Oh goodness, pardon me for my late introduction, master. I'm referred to as 'Shizu-chan'. I do apologize for having given my name on our second meeting."[/color] The waitress bows once again and upon raising her head back up, her lips flashes a faint smile. [color=violet]"But master, it would be my pleasure to serve you this time! Excuse me for a moment while I'll have your coffee prepared."[/color] With that, she returns to the area behind the counter and follows the standard procedures given to prepare the coffee. Meanwhile, the manager gladly patted the shoulder of the younger boy in response to his agreement to the favor as he spoke, [b]"That's the spirit! And of course, you will be given a proper amount of monetary compensation for your work today, don't worry. As for what you'll have to do,"[/b] He stepped out of the staff only room to take a glimpse at the main area of the cafe for the crew who were present today, determining who had more time on their hands at the moment. Spotting Shizu heading behind the counter, the older man gestured for Hashimoto to stay and added, [b]"Hold on for a moment if you will, I'll introduce you to someone who can coach you throughout the day. Let me fetch her."[/b] Just as he stated such, he left the room for a moment to approach the aforementioned waitress who was reaching up for a cup and saucer pair on the shelf. With ease, the manager picked the ones she was reaching for and held them in his hands. [b]"Making coffee, Shizu? I can take over from here since I'll need you to do something else. You saw the boy that entered the cafe with me earlier, yeah? Well I'll need you to get him ready to serve customers, appearance and mind set wise. Could you manage that?"[/b] Somehow, as if her prayers have been heard, Shizu's manager had granted her the position to make over the graceful male. With a tinge of excitement upon her expression and voice, the blonde replies, [color=violet]"Yes sir, I will try my best! But let us serve the coffee to our dear master, we hopefully won't take too long. I'll be sure to make him presentable!"[/color] The taller male gives a nod of acknowledgment as he tilts his head towards the staff room, gesturing that the mentioned boy was currently in that room. With a bow to her manager, she paces towards the staff room quickly while he started on the coffee making process. [color=violet]"Greetings! My manager brought me here to get you ready with your costume and mind set of being a waiter. Please do not hesitate to ask me any question!"[/color] Upon entering, Shizu greets the taller boy with a bow and a delighted smile upon her lips before searching through the usable costumes being hanged in a row, found at the side of the room opposite to the door. [i]Maid costume... maid costume.... maid costume..... Ah, a butl-- maid costume.[/i] [color=violet]"Ah, and my work name is 'Shizu-chan'. When one works in a place such as this, it is recommended to create a nickname for one's self when they want to conceal their identity. Speaking of such, oh my, we seem to have run out of butler costumes... I suppose majority of the waiters who are present today are male. It seems... we have no choice."[/color] While her expression was that of disappointment or something similar, her mind told her otherwise, in fact, she was glad for the scarcity of butler costumes today. ――――――――――――――― [color=violet]"May I present to you... our newest maid!"[/color] Shizu stood in front of the expecting manager who had been awaiting for the two for awhile, his view on the male [?] being separated by the blond waitress standing in between them. When it was time for the reveal, she side stepped out of the way and there he was, in full black, French maid outfit, long, pink wig with straight cut bangs and wavy ends, a holster around his waist to carry two pistols and a face powdered with expert-leveled make up with cherry pink lips. The manager was amazed by the unexpected result and releases a casual whistle. [b]"Shizu, you've really outdone yourself but... why a maid? Well, no matter, it doesn't change the fact that he indeed looks presentable so I'll let it pass. Go on, I had the coffee for the customer done, try your hands at bringing it to him while Shizu will be there to assist you."[/b] As the two approached the brunette bespectacled male, the blond waitress spoke up with a polite bow, [color=violet]"Apologies for the wait, master, here is your coffee brought by our new maid! Do introduce yourself."[/color] She let Hashimoto serve the coffee for the male customer and gestured for him to smile when introducing himself. A quick pointers of waitress etiquette and how to respond were taught to the other maid in the staff room but Shizu was worried nonetheless. [color=violet]"If you are ready, we will take your orders, master!"[/color]
