Savanaclaw Student
|
Alright, alright already. Hey, can I get a refill over here?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes, of course, I'll bring it right away.
|

That Tsum's so tiny but it's got a ton of stamina. It just keeps going and going.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Thanks to the Tsum's enthusiastic service, the first branch over here is overwhelmingly packed, as expected.
Compared to us…
|
Azul

I should angle the chairs like this... No, more in this direction, I think.
Now, I only need to set this for each table…
…Whew. Even half the space feels quite large when working by myself.
And then there's this serene silence…
Even the usual background music resonates differently when it's quiet.

Floyd
Floyd
|
Maan, what're you doin', Azul?
What, are ya just redecoratin' just 'cause you got nothing better to do? That's so sad.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Heh. Talk while you can. You'll understand soon enough.
|
[Azultsum bounces around the lounge]

Floyd
Floyd
|
Huh? The Tsum's just as energetic as before, but ain't it kinda weird?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Ah, so you've noticed, Floyd? That the number of our customers have been gradually decreasing.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Ah! Look over there.
|
Azul

|
Here we have the special for today, an herb tea. It will soothe your weary body.
Are you ready to order over there? I'll be right with you.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Are we losing our customers to Azul?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Oho. I see…
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Haaah? What's goin' on? All our customers're gone!
|
Jade
Jade
|
It seems so. And on the contrary, Azul's second branch is…
|
Azul
Azul
|
Yes, I shall go check on that immediately.
Forgive me, currently we have no available seats. Would you please wait outside?
|
Jade
Jade
|
It seems business is booming.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
I don't get it. What's this all mean?
|
Azul
Azul
|
Thank you very much for your patience. Would this table be acceptable?
|
Heartslabyul Student B
|
Wow! From this seat, I have a great view of that cute Tsum.
|
Scarabia Student A
|
This chair's so nice to sit in, too. The cushion is so soft and comfy.
|
Pomefiore Student B
|
How cute is that Tsum...!?
|
Ignihyde Student B
|
When it recommends stuff, I end up ordering too much and lose all my money. It's much better to be able to watch it from this distance.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Oh my, you seem so weary. Please, rest at this table.
|
Savanaclaw Student B
|
Wheeew~ This is so calming. I'm starting to feel a bit sleepy.
|
Azul
Azul
|
That is aroma oil with a maritime fragrance. I do hope you are able to relax with this bit of solace.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I see… You've put us in a bind, Azul.
|
Azul
Azul
|
Oh, why, if it isn't Jade-san and Floyd-san from the café's first branch.
You seem to have nothing to do. How pitiful.
|
Jade
Jade
|
So, you were adjusting the chairs earlier in order to cater to those who wished to view the Tsum from a fair distance…
When all's said and done, it seems the concept of the Lounge's second branch was "A relaxing space to observe the Tsum."
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
So, what, he basically used our own secret weapon against us? Seriously?
|
Azul

What the customers of the Mostro Lounge seek is a top-class experience that differs from their ordinary lives.
An exciting and new experience like you provided would of course pique their curiosity, but I cannot see them enjoying it for long.
In the end, they will pursue a soothing place to relax. That solace is what will drive people to come.
Thus, the demand for my various types of relaxing herbal tea is soaring through the roof.
I don't believe your side will have another customer ever again.
|
Jade
Jade
|
The competition has been decided, then. I can acknowledge it. We've lost.
I did think we'd be able to have a little fun since the Tsums had shown up again...
Fufu, it seems we've concluded this game with a reaffirmation of your abilities, Azul.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Awesome, that's Azul, for ya! Though that smug look's starting to piss me off.
|
Azul
Azul
|
This was a foregone conclusion.
It was beyond foolish to challenge me, as I am always thinking about what's best for the Mostro Lounge.
|
[Azultsum bounces to Azul]

Azul
Azul
|
This proves just how much of a difference our capabilities are. I hope you've fully grasped that!
|
Jade
Jade
|
Oh my, are you truly that pressed to be declared the winner like this against such a small creature? Your ruthlessness is quite admirable.
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Ah, the Tsum's doin' something.
|
…......
|
[Azultsum bounces in frustration]
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Ahahah! It’s bouncin’ like a flathead mullet! What, you getting’ all worked up on your own over there?
|
Azul

What a lovely rebellious spirit. I would have been disappointed indeed if my copy here were to have given up so easily.
While you weren't able to match my level, well, I suppose you didn't do too terribly, either.
Moreover, even if it was only for a short while, you did increase the profits of the Mostro Lounge.
When we eventually open a new Lounge, perhaps I shall seriously consider making you a manager.
It would be of that second branch, of course.
|
[Azultsum bounces happily]
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Aw, you're so nice, Azul. So, whatcha cookin' up then?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Well, it would be problematic if this money treeー or rather, I should say, this Tsum, felt dejected and chose to never come back again…
So I assume he merely said that to prevent that from possibly happening.
|
Azul
Azul
|
How could you possibly say that? I am always kind to everyone and anyone…
Aren't I just the epitome of generosity?
