Blend S (ブレンド・S)

Good morning!

Kaho, you got a suntan!

That's because it's been a while since I've been outside, like to the beach!

Rare to be outside...

You look like a girl from a tropical land!

Then Maika, too...

Like a girl from a tropical land...

Manager!

Good morning!

You've got a brave tan!

BUSY WITH BANANAS AND STRAWBERRIES

I wanna play video games.

I engaged in sunburn countermeasures, but I still got red.

You did say you were the type who turns red.

But I'm not sure if a suntan goes with the uniform here.

I agree.

Then why don't we wear swimsuits today?

STARE...

That was a joke.

Why have you suddenly become a gal?

There aren't gals like this these days!

Kaho, didn't you put on sunscreen?

Nah, that's a pain!

You need to put that on.

Otherwise you'll get wrinkles as you get older.

But I don't like that sticky stuff.

Jeez...

Miu, tell her.

Kaho, Kaho! Please let me see the tan lines on your chest!

Just show me a little skin.

You didn't tan at all, Mafuyu.

Of course not. I put on plenty of sunscreen—

That's it!

I've got a good idea!

I'm gonna keep you in anticipation until tomorrow!

Later!

PLEASE WAIT FOR ME

What the hell was that?

Manager...

He was obviously excited,

but what did he have in mind?

Good morn—

Whoa!

What is this?

From today, we're doing a limited time jungle-themed café!

Y-You were standing there? Wait, are you serious?

It sounds like fun, so I'm on board!

This way my suntan fits right in!

True...

Can't you muster up a bigger reaction than that?

Good morning, Akizuki!

Even with that, your bravery is on display, Sakuranomiya.

This is more of a jungle than I imagined!

Welcome!

I'll show you to your table.

Huh? S-Sorry. This way.

S-Sorry! This way!

Please be patient for just a moment. We should be getting to a table!

Huh?

What is she, an explorer?

To get lost in the café of all things...

I'm a failure as a staff member.

FWISH

A monkey!

Welcome, big brothers!

Today I'm a little monkey sister!

Mafuyu!

NOW USING NUMBERED TICKETS!!

Another banana.

Give me a banana, too, please.

Here.

Don't just give it to the customers like that!

Jeez!

Mafuyu is playing a monkey, so she's giving away bananas for free, huh?

Yeah.

But why Amano?

She's not playing a monkey.

There you are.

What? Already?

All right, fine.

Then...

I'll peel it for you.

Here you go.

HEH HEH

CHOKE CHOKE

That's the way. What a good boy.

That indecent monkey!

Miu is so great at customer service!

Wha...

All right!

I've got to up my customer service game and be just as good as Miu!

Maika?

Are you okay?

The food is safe!

I defended it with my life!

BOOM

T-Tragedy!

I have to deliver this food before it gets cold!

Wait!

Sorry for the wait.

Deep-fried chicken and fluffy egg rice omelet.

FRESHLY-KILLED CHICKEN

F-Freshly-killed chicken?

For crying out loud!

There's too much foliage in here!

Where'd he get all this from? Jeez...

Jeez!

Dammit!

Stop it!

What's that look for?

S-Sorry!

What's the idea of touching a girl's chest

and then having an expression like it's the end of the world?

Um...

Look...

You're tsundere, right?

So if I touch your chest by accident,

aren't you going to respond by abusing me until I lose my original form?

SHIVER SHIVER

I don't think that's the same thing as tsundere! Wait, are you crying?

That took a long time.

What's wrong, Akizuki?

Are you all right?

Hey! What was that?

Akizuki has such low tolerance for girls that I can use him as a character as is.

Don't do that! I only have eyes for Maika!

Stop!

For some reason, I'm pissed off.

Even though it just went back to the usual café, it seems so empty.

What? What is it?

I forgot to order strawberries!

Really? We're totally out?

Not a single one left.

I'll get some from the supermarket!

Good morning!

Maika! Good morning!

Maika, go with him.

Left to his own devices,

the manager will waste money on unnecessary things.

Oh, right!

M-Manager!

Should I have asked someone else instead of Maika?

Sorry you had to come with.

That's okay.

Well, let's go to the closest supermarket!

Sure!

Me and Maika, grocery shopping...

It's like we're on a date!

It's a waste, just buying strawberries, then heading back!

STRAWBERRIES

They're sold out, huh?

There's only one thing to do!

Try another market!

Why do you look so happy about it?

SOLD OUT

We'll be fine, as long as we're back before the café opens!

So, let's go to another supermarket!

Okay! I hope the next one has strawberries in stock!

My feeling of being on a date will end with the next store.

STRAWBERRIES

SOLD OUT

They're sold out here, too!

Yeah.

Only one thing to do!

Another supermarket!

Again, why do you seem so happy about that?

They're out!

SOLD OUT

RECOMMENDED STRAWBERRIES FRESHLY-PICKED STRAWBERRIES

Here, too!

OUT FOR TODAY

And here!

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

Why?

Okay, okay, calm down.

Um, excuse me!

Why aren't there any strawberries around here?

I'm so sorry!

It's about time to open.

What do we do?

Have they called?

No, we haven't heard anything.

Where the hell did they go to buy strawberries—

Oh, I got a text.

When are you coming back?

MANAGER

There are no strawberries to be had!

We'll go to the next town over!

This is fun, though, because it's like a date, so it's all good!

Please don't worry!

When he gets back, punishment is in order, huh?

Big Brother!

Today I recommend our rice omelet and banana crepe!

Okay, rice omelet and banana.

Oh, but the strawberry and raspberry almond jelly sounds good, too.

Which should I go with?

Big brother...
