Shizuka Otonashi || Star Drop Cafe || June 7 SUN
As
Shimizu stood waiting for anymore customers, a pair had entered through the doors to which the usual greeting was said aloud in unison,
"Welcome home, milady, milord!" Turning to face the pair, he froze slightly at who they were.
The Dragunov siblings. Not too long after, another teen had wandered through the cafe doors, once more having the servers cheerily greet,
"Welcome home, milord!" This teen seemed to have flinched upon having greeted, as if he had not expected such treatment in a cosplay cafe. Taking a closer inspection through
his azure eyes (from contact lenses as usual), it was for a moment but the silver haired waiter flashed a nervous expression upon his features. Ryan Alon,
her classmate.
Was this some sort of 'Shizuka's identity revealing day' or something? That was a silly thought but having one of her classmates finding out about her secret hobby and obsession was not something she will EVER let happen. Who knows how fast rumors and gossips can travel through the halls of Warakuma High. But despite this, Shizuka is an
employee of this cafe, she had no choice but to entertain either of the party--
"Dear customers, may I have all your attention over here? Okay, great. First of all, I thank all of you for visiting us today and I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay!" It was Kenji, the manager and the owner of the cafe. Shimizu sighed in relief at such a good timing, why you ask? This announcement was the cue for certain waiters to gather and standby for some sort of an
entertainment for the customers.
"For visiting us on the first day of a new theme, as usual, we'll have a performance from some of your favorite waiters and waitresses! Please welcome our dashing princes onto the stage!" As he said the last statement, the manager pointed his arm towards a group of six waiters starting to position themselves on the stage, Shimizu being one of them. There was a pause of silence as the six stood in their position with their heads lowered. As an upbeat melody stated to play, their heads lifted and bodies moved in a lively motion. The
dancing performance started as the female populace of the cafe screamed and squealed in their seats, partly because most, if not all, of them recognized this song and mostly enjoyed the performance.
While the performance was on going, this one overly stereotypically suspicious customer under a dark hood with hands in his pocket stood from his seat and stealthily made his way towards the counter with all of the attention was turned towards the dancers. Even Kenji let his guard down as he beamed a grin proudly at his
waiters' enjoyable performance. The hooded customer ended up in front of the cash register behind the counter as he brought out some sort of lock picking equipment. It took a few to couple of minutes but the cash register finally opened as the performance was soon coming to an end. The moment the drawer with loads of money opened, some sort of alarm went off from the cash register, something that the thief hadn't anticipated.
The people close to the counter turned their gaze towards the hooded thief and gasped, one of them shouting,
"Thief! Someone is stealing money!" Kenji and the employees immediately whipped their heads toward the direction to catch the robber making his get away through the back door. Even Shimizu and the other waiters ceased their dancing at the sudden event.
"Someone stop him!", Kenji shouts as he himself started to sprint with a speed not too bad for a retired sentai actor.
