After School

These trays are for tables number five and six.
Hm? Table three's order hasn't came through? Please confirm with the kitchen.
How many people are waiting outside? 40 groups currently, you say? I see, this certainly is tough.
|
Heartslabyul Student A 
|
I'd like to make an order!
|
Heartslabyul Student B 
|
Us, too!
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Of course, I will be over shortly.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Here ya go. One Mostro Lounge Special Set...
...I've already said this 102 times today!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Both of you better keep working hard to deal with all these customers.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Oh my, we're almost out of napkins. Floyd...is probably not in the mood to go on a trip to the shop.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
It's fine. I'll go today.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
..."I'll go today," he says. Azul's in such a good mood it's creepin' me out.
|
|
Heartslabyul Student A 
|
Did you see Vil's Magicam?
|
Heartslabyul Student B 
|
I did! Ever since then, all the famous people in Twisted Wonderland have been drinking the Mystery Drink.
They're getting it delivered straight from Night Raven College!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Oh my, I see the Mystery Shop has a big a crowd as usual.
|
 Ortho
Ortho 
|
Hello, Azul Ashengrotto!
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Hello there, Ortho. Did you come here to buy a Mystery Drink, as well?
|
 Ortho
Ortho 
|
Yup. I thought it would be good to buy the current trending drink and let my brother taste it.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Good idea. I'm sure he'll be very happy.
|
 Ortho
Ortho 
|
Ah. Maybe I shouldn't have said that in front of you when you have your own restaurant.
Honestly, I want Big Bro to go visit Mostro Lounge as well, but...
he still doesn't like leaving his room very much. You even play with him so much during club. I'm sorry.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Oh no, please don't worry about something like that!
We get to compete with a rival company, while supplying a form of leisure to the school. I couldn't be happier.
I aim to provide the best goods possible without becoming too wrapped up in short-term profits.
The Mystery Drink will not simply end as the latest fad. I pray for its continued development.

 Ortho
Ortho 
|
Azul... You seem so kind and refreshed today! What happened?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Ortho, I'm always kind and refreshed.

After Closing
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Ugh, I'm exhausted... I don't want to move a single fin...
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Good work today, you two!
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Azul, please take a look. There are many pictures of the Mystery Drink uploaded on Magicam today, as well.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
You're right. They're all still obsessing over it without getting tired. One that knows little often repeats it... *chuckle*
How about we have them spread "our" popular product, the Mystery Drink, even further?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
*chuckle*
I never imagined you would get the rights to sell the Mystery Drink and then turn it into a product on our menu here.
I was surprised when you explained the plan to me, and even more so when you really put it into action.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
When Floyd said that we were barely even a rival to them, it suddenly occurred to me.
If there is no sign of victory when fighting against them, then I simply have to play my cards before we fight.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
I didn't say that 'cause I wanted to have to deal with this whole mess!
|
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Now, now. Floyd, you managed to "sincerely" appeal to Sam to gain us the selling rights.
And Jade managed to use his own "sincerity" to persuade Vil as a popular Magicammer to promote our drink.
It's all thanks to you two.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
It seems I misjudged just how much of a businessman you were. It was already interesting when you brought the prospect of a dealership to the table, but...
then you left the drink as-is, and sold it as a collaboration menu with the Lounge.
I didn't think it would gather this many customers.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Mostro Lounge's limited edition "Special Menu", featuring a collaboration Mystery x Mostro Drink...
People would naturally come flocking were they to see that the trending drink was being presented in such a unique fashion.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
You're sellin' it for 1500 Madol or something, right? That's, like, double the 600 Madol it's being sold for at the Mystery Shop.
The ingredients are the same, and yet you serve it in a fancy glass and they'll all buy the higher-priced version. Is this actually real?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
People want to buy a story.
Sam's Mystery Shop and Azul's Mostro Lounge...
Those two shops should be rivals and yet here they are working together hand-in-hand. That special feeling is important.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
I don't get it, at all. You think of funny things, Azul.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
I'm glad you were able to achieve the profits you hoped for.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
The money is important, but...the fact we were able to negotiate a deal with the school store is also important.
I intend to continue developing Mostro Lounge further.
I need as many connections as possible for that.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
... *chuckle*
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
What?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
You really do treasure Mostro Lounge, don't you?
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Is that something you really need to point out? I started this business, the last thing I want to do is watch it go bust.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
But if all you wanted to do was earn money, aren't there many other easier methods?
You have an attachment to Mostro Lounge.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Ahh, I get that. Whenever you talk about the Lounge, you always get all excited.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
Hah. An attachment? Do you really think I act based on such illogical emotions?
I can profit while also gathering information on the school's goings-on. That is why I treasure our Lounge.
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Yes, yes. Whatever you say.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
Heeeey, I'm all thirsty. Can I drink one of them? We have a ton, don't we?
|
 Jade
Jade 
|
Good idea. Let us toast to Azul's success.
|
 Azul
Azul 
|
No, I'm fine. I've already consumed the necessary nutrients for the day, so I'll refrain.
|
 Floyd
Floyd 
|
There it is. Azul out here ruining the mood again. You never change, huh?
