A few days ago, I got a part-time job at Pallet Cafe as a barista and waiter at the same time. I had a floating schedule, and the salary of 10,000 PPt a week suited me just fine.
'Just like the good old days,' I thought.

- Tsuneo, a customer ordered a cocktail "screwdriver".
- Hai-Hai.
(Flashback off)
Okay. Let's get to work. This month, there were a lot of visitors. Seniors, freshmen, I was surprised to see Tachibana-sempai, but she was alone.
- Kyosei-kun, a customer ordered one iced coffee and a double espresso to go.
- The order is accepted. - I said, and got to work.
In some cases, I was a perfectionist. So, I tried to make the coffee perfect.
After the order was ready, I went to take it to the customer.
- One iced coffee and an espresso to go. - I brought the order to the table, and the person who ordered was Tachibana-sempai.
- Huh? Kyosei-kun? Hi. I didn't know you worked here.
- Hello, sir. I work here part-time. By the way, here's your order. - I handed her a coffee.
- Thank you.
- By the way, is that double espresso for the student council president?
- Yeah. The president hasn't been out of the office lately because of all the paperwork.
- Well, I'm gonna head back. If you need anything, I'm always at your service, sir.
She waved goodbye and left. As I walked back in, one of the waitresses approached me.
- Hoo. Did our barista find a girlfriend?
- No. She's not my girlfriend. - I said, "All the more reason to go to work.
- Hmph. You're so boring.
"And you're stupid," I thought.
(Timeskip)
During all this time. Some of the older girls came up to me and left me their phone numbers.
I didn't really care about them. So I burned those notes, 12 of them.
"Why, everything is getting absurd," I thought.
Then, I noticed Kiyo-bro talking to Kushida. Interesting...
I made a regular coffee and a cappuccino. I told the manager to put them on my tab, and he agreed.
- Hey, Kiyotaka-han. - I said, placing the order on the table.
