Sebek  |
Jack! Good timing!!! | |
Jack  |
So noisy-. You got a loud voice as always, Sebek. | |
Sebek |
To tell you the truth, I wanted to present the ultimate shaved ice to the young master. When it comes to the best preparation methods, I figured it’d be best to obtain advice from someone like you, who hails from the Snow Country.
What’s that? You’re so carefully holding that flowerpot with both hands. | |
Jack |
Sorry about this, but I have to go to the greenhouse now. I thought I could go and give my cactus a chance to sunbathe on my day off. | |
Sebek |
Sunbathing, your cactus….? | |
Jack |
Well, it’s because this stump hasn’t grown all that much. I’m thinking if I give it sunlight and a warm atmosphere it’ll grow healthy.
As for the shaved ice, I’ll teach you next time, so forgive me for skipping out today. See you around! | |
Sebek |
He… has a gardening hobby? He’s a surprisingly diligent guy, huh. | |
| ||
| Botanical Garden - Temperate Zone | ||
Jack |
Well then, where would be a good place to put the cactus…. Oh-.
The top of this black cloth looks like it gets just the right amount of sunlight and warmth. Let me just put my cactus here… Wha- What the hell, this cloth is totally soaked! And there’s this soggy, worn-out wood underneath it… Who abandoned their trash in this place? I guess there’s no helping it, I’ll throw it away. | |
| *rustle, rustle… toss* | ||
Jack |
Right! I threw all the damp cloth and wood away and cleaned up the place pretty nicely. Now for my cactus… | |
???  |
Oh. | |
Jack |
Hmm? | |
Jade |
What…. Is “this” your doing? Jack. | |
Jack |
By “this” do you mean cleaning up? I did take care of the trash that was laying around this area. | |
Floyd  |
The sea urchin is so meea~n. Calling Jade’s treasure garbage. | |
Azul  |
You must’ve thrown it about, the wood’s all broken. That’s called property damage. | |
Jack |
The unscrupulous Octavinelle trio has arrived…
What property damage? I simply got rid of some bothersome wood that someone left in the greenhouse. Or are you saying that getting rid of trash is a bad thing? | |
Jade |
The thing you’re calling “trash” was my precious jelly ear fungus cultivation log. | |
Jack |
Jelly… Ear? What, that some jellyfish-related thing?[1] | |
Floyd |
It’s an edible mushroom you can get in the east. Well, it’s not like I know it very well either. | |
Jack |
Hmm… Huh? This shabby log was actually a mushroom nursery!? | |
Jade |
If you put it very roughly, yes. It was in the middle of its spawn run.[2] | |
Jack |
Spawn run? | |
Jade |
It’s what you call it when the mushroom’s hyphae take root on the cultivation log. | |
Jack |
I don’t understand a thing you’re saying. | |
Jade |
I even flawlessly took measures against the fungus’ greatest enemies, sunlight and dryness. All that was left now was for it to grow…
And this cultivation log, now that it’s been exposed to direct sunlight has been totally and irreversibly destroyed… | |
Azul |
Look, Jade is crying. Poor thing… | |
Floyd |
Jade, are you alright~? | |
Jade |
Sniffle sniffle. | |
Jack |
No way, there’s no way he’s crying. Can’t you tell he’s faking it? | |
Azul |
What a cruel remark. Have you no conscience? | |
Jack |
Ah… It’s true that I casually threw away someone else’s belongings, I can’t really refute that…! | |
Azul |
Now, how will you be taking responsibility? | |
Jade |
That’s right, for example…. How does helping out in the Mostro Lounge sound? | |
Floyd |
Yeea~ah~. If you work for about a week, Jade will feel better too, right? | |
Jade |
Sniffle sniffle. That’s right. | |
Jack |
……..
… I suppose I was wrong for destroying something left in a public area without checking first. | |
Jade |
Oh? You’re pretty amenable. | |
Jack |
I hate getting into debt. I will settle the matter properly.
I’ll help out in the Mostro Lounge for a week, starting tomorrow! …… But, what kinda help are you looking for? I’ve never cooked before. | |
Azul |
Rest assured, I’d like you to work as a waiter in the dining area. That should be much easier than cooking. | |
Jack |
A waiter, huh….. I’ve never done that before…… Is there anything I should take along? | |
Azul |
Ah, yes… Make sure you dress smart during work hours. | |
Jade |
Mostro Lounge is a restaurant after all. | |
Jack |
Right. Smart. Got it. | |

| Mostro Lounge | ||
Floyd  |
The sea urchin will be working here from today, right? If he’s not useful I might sque~eze him. | |
Azul  |
We’re getting Jack to work at the Mostro Lounge for a week…
Looks like Jade’s hobby can be pretty useful at times. | |
Jade  |
But it’s a far cry from the value of my jelly ear fungus that was killed before it had a chance to grow. | |
Jack  |
Excuse me. | |
Azul |
Aa, Jack seems to have arrived… Please, come in. | |
Jack |
Starting from today, I’ll be in your care for one week. | |
| …….. | ||
Azul |
….. Why? Why are you wearing your lab coat? | |
Jack |
You told me to dress smart.[1] | |
Azul |
Don’t you think this is a strange conclusion to come to. | |
Floyd |
No way~~~ Sea Urchin you’re way too funny~~! | |
Jade |
Mostro Lounge is a restaurant, so I wanted you to bring something like a smart-looking apron.
My apologies. I should’ve conveyed it in a kind and detailed manner so that even Jack could understand it. | |
Jack |
You’re not holding back what you want to say, huh…
Anyway, if it’s about an apron, it’s not as if I had one anyway. | |
Azul |
We don’t have any aprons that’d suit your physique… I’ll let you work like this, this time. | |
Jade |
Are you sure? | |
Azul |
Well, don’t you think it might be interesting if you think of it as if it were a show. | |
Floyd |
I’ll be thinking a lot of the Mostro Lounge from today on, so do your best alright, Sea Urchin. | |
Jack |
I’m getting a feeling you’re being condescending… Well, it’s true that I don’t have any experience working in a cafe.
Anyway, I’ll do my best to be useful. I’ll be working with you from now on. | |
| *chattering noise* | ||
Jade |
There’s an incredible number of customers today. Is Jack doing alright on his first day? | |
Azul |
True. I can’t deny I’ve been a little bit worried, after all, he came to work in a restaurant in lab clothes. | |
Jade |
Then let’s take a look at how Jack is handling work. | |
| Heartslabyul Student A | Excuse me! | |
| ||
Jack |
Yes. | |
| Heartslabyul Student B | Can you take our order? This, and this, and aah what else, this and this and…. | |
Jade |
It’s a customer that talks so quickly you barely have time to take notes, huh. Will Jack be able to remember it all? | |
Jack |
… Will that be all for your order? Let me confirm.
One ‘sea’ cake set with the special black tea that was picked in summer, one starfish buffet with extra cream on the side…. Two Cafe au lait, one hot and one iced, and vanilla syrup in the hot one. | |
| Heartslabyul Student A | That’s right. | |
Jack |
Please wait a moment. | |
Jade |
How surprising. He managed to repeat the whole thing without making a single mistake. Jack-kun’s got a surprisingly good memory. | |
Floyd |
The sea urchin figured out how to work as a waiter in no time at all. That’s kinda boring. | |
Jack |
… A change of water bottles? If it’s heavy let me carry it to the kitchen. | |
| Octavinelle Student A | Woah!? Incredible, he lifted that 48-liter box with one hand like it was nothing! | |
Jack |
I’m confident in my strength. Let me know if there’s something you can’t carry.
… Huh? That order from earlier, I’m pretty sure it was a regular ice tea with a tray, not an ice lemon tea. | |
| Octavinelle Student B | You mean the order that I took?… You heard all of that even though you were so far away? | |
Jack |
Yes. I have good ears. | |
| Octavinelle Student B | … You’re right. I wrote down straight tea. Good thing you told me before I started brewing it, thanks. | |
Jack |
All good. | |
Azul |
This is… | |
| Octavinelle Student C | He~y waiter! The cake set for table 5 is ready! | |
Jack |
I’ll take it over. *sniff sniff*… Huh? Did you put the special black tea in this cup? | |
| Octavinelle Student C | Yes, it’s the special summer-picked tea. More expensive than regular tea. | |
Jack |
You say that, but it smells exactly like the regular tea. | |
| Octavinelle Student C | No way… Huh- You’re right! The label on the can and the label on the lid didn’t match!
Who mixed these up… I’m going to get scolded by the prefects! Wait just a second, I’ll brew the tea again! | |
Jack |
Alright. | |
Azul |
You’re really doing this, huh Jack-san? | |
Jack |
Uwah-, you surprised me… What do you need? | |
Azul |
At first I was wondering how this would go but… You’ve been extremely useful. It’s been a real windfall.
You’ve got a serious work attitude, are smart enough to immediately remember things when taught, and you’re even good at physical work. | |
Jade |
You quickly realized your mistake of throwing away my cultivation log. If I think about it now, you’re pretty obedient and cute. | |
Floyd |
Haha~. He’s a good boy, a good boy~ | |
Jack |
Wha, quit tha-…. Don’t come closer and stop petting my head!
Oi, don’t mess my hair! Stop touching my ears! | |
Floyd |
Hey Azul. Can we keep him? | |
Jade |
We’ll properly take care of him. | |
Azul |
Hm, that’s right, it’d be nice to keep him as a guard dog… What do you think? Jack.
In addition to your duties as waiter, delivery man, floor manager, how about you also continue working in the lounge as a guard dog once this week is over? | |
Jack |
I strongly refuse!
You treat your employees too roughly… As soon as I’m done here, I’ll be heading back to the dorm. Well, of course, I’ll settle this debt first… Ah, right, the order for table 3, leave it to me. | |
