Intro
Brother Cafe Lien. The shop, wrapped in soft lighting and the sweet scent of treats, showed its usual gentle bustle today.
Behind the scenes, three new staff members are all wearing grumpy expressions. They are Shizuru, Masaki, and Izumi, who were forced to work here after their mother caught them by their weaknesses.
Watching the three rookies, he laughs playfully.
Ahaha, if you make faces like that, you'll scare the customers! Come on, smile, smile!
Gently places a hand on Masaki's shoulder.
Now, now. Make sure to act like a proper big brother in front of the customers, okay?
Glances toward the entrance.
...Oh, welcome back.
It seems a regular customer has arrived. Toji and Chikage's expressions instantly brighten up.
