”Yuto is really hardworking You will be able to rest soon, so do your best!”
”Ehehe—”
Yuto ran off happily after being praised with a pat on her head
”Speaking of which Eyriey, is Sheltis taking a paid leave for today as well?”
Chef asked with a sigh, while planting her hands on her hips
”He says he is still tired, and wants to rest for another day”
”That's rare, for Sheltis to be that tired I thought being energetic is his strength”
”Well, you can't really blame him for this time”
As she stopped decorating the salad, Eyriey showed a wry smile
There is probably no one ill believe it
That the youngin such an ordinary cafe, is actually the same person who has saved the Priestesses of Tenketsu Palace <sophia>
”But still—! Even though you are tired!”
She hugged the tray, and clenched her fist—
”Sheltis you idiot! Going to sleep by yourself and leaving all the work to me! That's unfair!”

”You are a really spineless man”
”I'll go I'll go but give me some time to prepare myself mentally”
Just then, cheers could be heard in the direction of the cafe
”H?”
Sheltis got up from bed, and listened intently towards the cafe What was happening? It felt like there was a sort of uproar or so
”Oi— Sheltis”
He could hear a flurry of steps, and the door of his rooirl in overalls and apron popped her head into the room
