305. First Customer

『”From now on, Kenran High School and Seimei High School will hold a joint school festival. To all visitors, please enjoy your time and have a nice day.”』

It’s finally started. Thinking back on it now, it was a lot of fun during the preparations… No, the real thing starts from now…Why am I already looking back on the past when it’s just started?

Yuri Mishima, who was in charge of the receptionist of class 1-1’s butler cafe, slapped her cheeks in order to regain her spirit.

“What’s wrong Mishima-san? Did you suddenly become a masochist? I mean, it’s okay, just that please explore it after this all over”

“No, no, I don’t think so. Even if that’s the case, I would restrain it and prioritize this event… Well, I’m just trying to get myself back on track.”

“I see…”

The girl, who was in charge of the reception together with Yuri, laughed elegantly.

Perhaps because there were many students in this school, there were also many girls who were a little strange.

Class 1-1’s butler cafe had a different structure than a normal cafe. Several people were in charge of the reception for the explanation.

Well, it could of course be the case in some normal coffee shops.

Just that, the ladies were enthusiastic about this and brought a wide selection of expensive coffee beans and tea leaves. The level of ingredients was very high compared to an ordinary cafe.

“Ara, a customer is coming already. Is she looking here or there?”

“There are rumors that many customers will come, so I think she’s already decided which one to go first…”

“Yes, but when you see something rare like this in front of you, you still get troubled.”

Well, that’s true.

Yuri agreed.

“Ara, as expected, it looks like she’s decided. She’s coming this way.”

Looking at the lady again, she walked towards class 1-1’s butler café with a determined expression.

Thus, the memorable first customer came to the receptionist.

“Young lady, welcome to our butler cafe. Are you alone?”

“Yes. I’m alone.”

“Then, let me explain the system of our butler cafe.”

“S-system?”

“Yes, we have adopted a slightly different system.”

“I-I see…”

It can’t be helped, our butler café is different from a normal butler cafe. after all

“First of all, your seat time will be fifteen minutes. The food and drink will be brought by the butler in charge.”

“Hum, hum.”

“As for the butler in charge, you can choose by paying the nomination fee separately.”

“…Hohoo”

“If, by any chance, you appoint a butler, the butler will stand by in the customer’s seat, and if the customer wishes, the customer can talk to them and ask them to give some services. Of course, it’s limited to common sense… Also, just because the butler has been nominated by you, doesn’t mean he’ll be on your side for fifteen minutes. If the butler is nominated by another customer, he might need to go to the other customer’s seat too. Please of your understanding if that happens.”

“By the way, how much is the nomination fee?”

“Here it is.”

Yuri handed over the price list.

The price list showed the faces of the butlers and the prices.

Yup, in our butler café, customers could choose their favorite butler.

While Yuri was explaining this, customers were coming in one after another, and other receptionists were busy explaining the system.

“…Excuse me”

“Have you decided?”

“No, before that, I have a few questions…”

“May I hear it?”

“It’s kind of expensive for only this one person?”

…That’s right. All had a uniform price of 500 jenny, except for one person. And this one person was, of course, Kohaku Hatano. His price was 1,500 jenny. three times that of other boys. 1500 jenny for just fifteen minutes. It was a painful amount for an ordinary high school girl, but if this wasn’t the case, the nomination would be so unbalanced.

With a smile on her face, Yuri said clearly.

“There’s nothing wrong with the price.”

Hearing that, the customer muttered, “Nothing wrong with the price…” and lowered her gaze to the price list again.

After a few seconds, she looked up determinedly and said,

“I nominate Kohaku Hatano!!”

“Thank you very much.”

Yuri said so and lowered her head.

The receptionist counter was getting noisy.

Even when I was preparing for my turn in the back of the stall, I could hear the hustle and bustle that was happening at the entrance.

“Well, I wonder who will be the first to be chosen?”

With a smirk, Fukushima said something like that. Then, of course, other guys followed.

“Well, there’s a possibility that it’s me――――”

『”A nomination for Butler Hatano has arrived. Please prepare.”』

“Well, the order isn’t a big deal.”

“Yeah, not at all. Competing for the turn is stupid.”

“Rather, the real star always comes later.”

…These guys, as usual, so easy to change their minds huh.

Anyway, is the customer’s pocket okay? I mean, it’s not a small amount.

……Well, since you’ve decided to pay a high fee for getting food in a cafe, I want you to be as satisfied as possible.

Then, I checked my appearance in front of the mirror for the last time.

“Al’right!”

In a high spirit, I went out to welcome the customer.
