Ev2-Prologue - CAFE Horizon! And...?

Nereid:

Undine~ Thetis~

I'm back after distributing the flyers!

Thetis:

Hug...

Nereid:

Hug?

Thetis:

Heh...

Nereid:

Heh...?

Hey Undine, what's wrong with Thetis?

Undine:

Ah...see...

She was trying to pull a trick on Commander...and then...

She ended up...getting kissed for an hour...

Nereid:

Eh...

Thetis:

Uwoh...

Undine:

This is her gotten much better. She wasn't able to stand up until just now.

Nereid:

A, an hour-long kiss...uhh...

I wonder what would happen...if I get that kind of treatment...

Sirene:

Nereid, welcome back.

Nereid:

Ah, yup. I've handed out our flyers.

Everyone said they'd be here!

Sirene:

Great. We're almost ready to open on our end too.

All we need to do is check everyone's positions, rehearse, and then clean this place a little.

Undine:

I, the Genius Patissier, is ready too.

I can prepare more than 200 different dishes!

Nereid:

Whoa, really?

So that means we'd get a sample for each and every dish, right?

Undine:

Uhh...

N, not really. I haven't ordered enough ingredients yet.

So...like, as we open...r, right.

I'm going to add more menus as our business grows. It's a sort of a marketing strategy!

Sirene:

I've tried a few earlier, and they tasted great.

I left some for you here, Nereid.

Nereid:

Thanks, Vice-Admiral.

Ah! And by the way, I saw something while handing out the flyers?

Do you all remember the building opposite the fountain? They're opening a cafe too.

*Yum...* Whoa, this is good!

Sirene:

Another cafe...?

What if our potential customers choose that one over ours...

Undine:

Yeah, that's not cool! That's unethical!

Nereid:

*Munch Munch...* Ah, but like, it is a cafe, but not really a cafe.

It's a live...cafe? Something like that, I heard someone would be singing and selling booze.

Undine:

Hmm, so like a bar? Then I suppose we don't have to worry about losing our targetted customers.

Sirene:

But it would still affect our sales...

Undine:

Hmm, still concerned, Vice-Admira - no, Manager?

Sirene:

Yes...It was great that we all worked together to open up this cafe, but...

It would be a shame if we didn't get as many customers.

Undine:

Well then, it looks like this Genius Patissier need to come up with more genius menus -

??:

I know a way~

Thetis:

I have a great idea. Would you all like to listen~?

Undine:

Huh, you're okay now? How are your lips?

Thetis:

Urgh...

Ahem. See, my proposal is to bring back the Commander's secret menu to which we all said no because we thought it was too promiscuous!

Sirene:

...

It would be great if the Commander came for a visit, but we need a strategy to attract as many people as possible.

Thetis:

Kik, Vice-Admiral, you're too naive~ You're as pure as the driven snow.

Sirene:

Hmm...?

Thetis:

Think about it. If my, Thetis' Special Menu works...then we would have the Commander stay at our cafe for a very long time!

And naturally, we'd have customers coming to our cafe just to see the Commander!

Sirene:

Oh...?

Undine:

She has a point...

Thetis:

Kik, right?

Also~ if you give me a promotion as an Assistant Manager, I'd make sure that we all get to participate in this Special Menu~.

Nereid:

Ehhhh?!

Thetis:

Why, you don't want a part, Nerie?

Nereid:

N, no, it's not like I don't want to...

These clothes we're wearing...I heard they were designed to do something lewd with one another...and so if I imagine myself kissing with the Commander wearing this...

Thetis:

K, kissing...with the Commander...

Hnn...

Sirene:

S, still, we know Commander behaves with discernment!

I'm sure he wouldn't...d, do us in... the cafe...

Undine:

N, not gonna lie...but I don't think I would be able to say no when Commander decides to push me...

Thetis:

...

Undine:

...

Sirene:

...

We'd be okay, right...?

Royal Arsenal:

Why don't you just give in? We're wasting each other's time.

Perrault:

You should be the one who should give up, General!

Royal Arsenal:

Playing way too hard to get backfires, you know.

Make sure you don't act like that in front of the Commander.

Perrault:

My. Point. Was...!

Royal Arsenal:

But what's stopping you? I already have everything planned out from Cafe operations, our outfit, music, booze and much more.

All you need to do is just bring yourself, that's all, Miss Perrault.

Ah, if it's a title that you're after, then just say the words. For example, you can be the Manager.

Perrault:

That's not -

Azaz:

The interior design's almost done.

Go take a look, and let me know if there're additional requests.

Royal Arsenal:

Thank you. Will do.

Ah, one thing...

Would you like to work with me by any chance?

Azaz:

Sure.

Perrault:

...?!

Royal Arsenal:

Love the attitude.

I have everything ready for you. I'll be in touch, so all you have to do is show up on time.

Azaz:

Sounds exciting. What do you want me to do, exactly?

Royal Arsenal:

Singing for a start, and I would appreciate it if you learned how to play an instrument.

Miss Perrault here refuses to learn.

Azaz:

Oh my...

Perrault:

Ahh...Big Sis...save me...

Black Lilith:

You called?

Perrault:

B, Big Sis?

Royal Arsenal:

Ah, great timing.

Chief of Security, Lilith. I'd like to officially ask for your opinion about opening a live cafe with your precious younger sister here, what do you say?

Black Lilith:

Hmm...

That sounds nice.

Perrault:

Eh...?

Black Lilith:

Please look after Perrault. She's a very shy girl.

She told me once that she's so shy, and so she'd have to cover her mouth not to moan -

Perrault:

LILITHHH-!

Royal Arsenal:

Haha, don't worry, she's in good hands. I'll personally try my best to transform Perrault into a fine lady who's honest towards her feelings.

Black Lilith:

*Chuckles,* Yes. Thank you.

Well then, Perrault, be a good girl and listen to General Arsenal here, and make sure you're back before dinner by the gardens.

Perrault:

*Sigh...*

...Yes, understood.

What about Fenrir? She's on night duty today.

Black Lilith:

I'll leave some for her.

Well, I'm heading off then. See you in a bit.

Perrault:

*Sigh.......................*

Royal Arsenal:

All according to plan.

Well, I look forward to working with you, Manager Perrault.

Perrault:

...Since I'm the Manager, I'll be handling the operational business!

Royal Arsenal:

Haha, of course. The floor's yours.

Azaz:

I thought the building lacked something, so I put up a sign. Do we have a name for our cafe yet?

Royal Arsenal:

A name...yes.

CAFE amor it is. Love triumphs all!

(That Night)

??:

*Sniff Sniff* Hmm...

...The air in this place disgusts me.

This is...yes, it's the smell of a bunny girl...!

This is the source of evil that I've been noticing from far!

*Chuckles...* I shall bathe with blood soon...with the blood of the bunny girls!

...Hmm. Still, they have unusually high bunny spirit.

Okay...why don't I go make some friends first?

Nihehehe, nihehehe - *cough, cough...!*
