Chapter 182
Time goes back to a day ago, when the group "Apron boy&Spoon Girl" announced the topic for the next day.
"I'm going out to open a shop..."
“Although there is no limit on the type and quantity, the one in the cafe is a must.”
“There are not enough people—”
"This time, there is no restriction on you to invite outside aid."
The director's broadcast sounded in the living room at the right time.
"It's just that you need to pretend to be ordinary staff when you have customers - you are not allowed to use your real name, but your past character names can be used as pseudonyms."
"For a place like a cafe, even if we can hire outside help, it would be best if it were someone who is good at a variety of dishes, right? In that case..."
"I'm going to open a mobile snack bar." Shirou Emiya, one of the candidates for the cafe member who was being eyed by the other members, decisively spoke up and decided where he would go tomorrow before they made their proposals. "It's the kind of shop that is directly opened in a car - it's not interesting to shoot shops that are all open in fixed locations. Besides, although this kind of mobile shop only needs one person to handle it, the requirements are not low."
"Then let's call in some help from the cafe." Hoshimiya Strawberry took out her phone and started calling people, "Besides Sera, I can call a few more people here - but Aoi and Ki are focusing on the filming of 'This is just basic reasoning "Elementary"', so they probably don't have time to help. By the way, are any of you going to open a sushi shop? I can call Xiao Feng over."
"If there aren't enough waiters, Animusphia Office can provide some." Emiya Shirou took off his apron and gloves and opened a chat window with Fujimaru Ritsuka on his phone. "They can handle the work of both Western and Japanese restaurants."
"We can also provide someone to cook if you need it."
"Then I will open a bento shop with Xiao Caomei." Shouling Er, who was sitting on the sofa, had just said goodbye to his teammates in the practice room of Shining Office and hurried back to the villa to participate in the presentation of a new topic. "Even if I go back to my old business, what about Er Er San, Chen Chen and Koizumi?"
"Ms. Quan can only let her open a curry shop..."
"I'll call the troupe." Fushimi Omi smiled and called the head of the dormitory. While waiting for the call to be connected, he added, "There are many people who will be happy to go to the store with the supervisor. Besides, no one in our troupe except the manager can cook dark dishes."
"Then I'll go to the cafe." Izan Ran took the initiative to accept the assigned topic of the program team, "The candidates for the cafe are currently just the external aids invited by Miss Hoshimiya, right?"
"but……"
"...Then I will be responsible for going with you to look after Mr. Ibehara." Fushimi Omi, who was already chatting with the members of the troupe on the other end of the phone, took some time to arrange his own whereabouts, and then went on to explain the filming requirements to the members of the troupe. "The clear filming requirements are to play the role of a restaurant clerk when there are customers visiting..."
"Um?"
In the empty chat window of the phone in Shirou Emiya's hand, which was used exclusively for shooting the show, several messages suddenly popped up one after another.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka: Turn off the mic. I will inform Coles to cut this part out - but turn off the mic anyway."
"Fujimaru Ritsuka: After everyone turns off their microphones, tell them to recruit as many external players as possible. It doesn't matter even if the store they open is full of external players—"
"Fujimaru Ritsuka: Tomorrow the love show is a group date, and since there are only idols in the special spot, I need you to pretend it's a normal restaurant."
"Fujimaru Ritsuka: The more stores, the better, because I don't want the final effect to be a linkage between the two sides - it's better to say that the more stores opened by foreign aid, the better. I have already notified everyone on our side, and I am waiting for you to inform other offices through them. "
"Emiya Shirou: Understood."
Shirou Emiya raised his hand and turned off his own microphone first. The other members also reacted quickly. After seeing Shirou Emiya's action, they turned off their microphones one by one.
"Ritsuka asked me to inform you that the more people we can get to help, the better." After everyone turned off their microphones, Shirou Emiya leaned against the wall and informed everyone, raising his hand and pointing in a certain direction, "We need more restaurants - the more varieties the better. Tomorrow is a date next door."
"Are the foreign players mainly there to serve as backgrounds for the next door?" As one of the few directors in the singularity, Tachibana Izumi immediately responded and came up with the answer, "Because if the restaurants where the six of us hang out are the only ones they can choose from, then the two programs that originally had little connection will instantly be connected together - and it's a strong connection."
"Yes, we are just a backdrop for them." Shirou Emiya readily acknowledged Fujimaru Ritsuka's purpose, while announcing the members of Chaldea. "We can also add a coffee shop and a Japanese restaurant with our staff - there are also people who can cook all kinds of dishes. What about you?"
"Since it's a date next door, we should have a dessert shop, right?" Hoshimiya Strawberry stroked her chin, raised her head and began to fill in the list of candidates in her mind, "Chef Yotsuba of Starlight Academy is a dessert expert, Sumire of Luminas can also make desserts, and if I remember correctly, Madoka can too..."
"If it's just chocolate... I think everyone would do it." Shirou Emiya subtly turned his eyes away from the five people, "Although here we have always had the model of girls giving chocolates and boys just preparing gifts in return... well, there are also people who need to prepare both chocolates and gifts in return."
"Is there any work on costumes next? Tsuna-kun, I remember that after the work on 'The show must go on' was finished, I was dragged to 'This is just basic reasoning "Elementary"'." Tachibana Izumi opened her phone and began to check the schedules of the troupe members. "By the way, Mr. Omi, don't scare people away again this time."
"...Will the Aki Group scare people away?"
"Because the composition of the Autumn Group is bad, bad, former bad, gangster, gangster, gangster, and young gangster - the only one whose aura or appearance doesn't scare others away is Taichi." Tachibana Izumi sighed helplessly and told everyone about the past of the Mankai Theater. "When the Autumn Group was sent out to distribute flyers for promotion, the tourists looked as if they had been pardoned after seeing the words on the flyers - they were all scared stiff, and those who could still run away ran away before they arrived."
"...I can imagine what kind of scene it is." Shouling Er, who has always been at the forefront of the group's quarrels, smiled awkwardly, "When Xiao Miao and Lan Lan quarrel over here, it's also the kind of atmosphere where strangers stay away...and Lan Lan, who speaks the truth, always makes their anger rise to a higher level..."
"It's amazing that you've managed to hold on until now." Izawa Ranichiro was shocked by Shourenji's description of the fragmented quarrel scene at QUARTET☆NIGHT and exclaimed with true emotion.
"After all, when the office let us form..." Shourenji avoided everyone's gaze and sighed helplessly, "The four of us started with the idea of 'we can end it at any time'. But in the end, the first person to propose disbanding was me, the captain - even though I had been working hard to keep this group going all the time before."
"But that's all in the past."
"Ah, the song KIZUNA that Shining Agency didn't hand over to the agency for the agency's cover rights is probably a souvenir left after that incident." Shirou Emiya, who was looking through Ritsuka Fujimaru's performance repertoire and the arrangements for the groups that would perform at the upcoming joint concert, suddenly spoke up, "Ritsuka found out when she was deciding on our agency's song list."
"Well, after all, it's a song that commemorates our new beginning." After replying to Shirou Emiya, Shourenji called his junior with a smile, "ST☆RISH can send people to curry shops, Japanese restaurants, dessert shops, fast food restaurants and cafes - it depends on your needs."
"Then let Mr. Shan and the others hand over the work of the camera director and come over to help..." Tachibana Izumi pulled out the address book and started dialing people. "By the way, I remember there is an adult group next door? Do they need a bar or something like that?"
"Tsukioka Tsumugi didn't talk to you today!?" Shouren looked at the two people in the Mankai Drama Troupe in surprise.
"Mr. Tsumugi came back to see Mr. Cheng. They were childhood friends." Tachibana Izumi briefly explained today's situation to Shoulingji. "Mr. Chen and I really went back to have a meeting. They had already discussed it before the meeting... no, before lunch."
"Ah, no wonder you didn't know." Shoulinger pursed his lips and thought for a while, then decisively excluded the bar from the scope of preparation. "Among the adults next door, there are only two who are of drinking age. Judging from what I talked to Lanlan today, these two people should not be assigned together on the date tomorrow at least."
"Come to think of it, if we have to go out and be the background on the date..."
"There is a seaside training ground here." As a member of Chaldea, Shirou Emiya, who is overly sensitive to certain seasons, looked at the special point map on his phone and made a prediction for the other members, "Their next date should be a group date at the seaside - our mission at that time should be 'Sea House'."
Considering the change of seasons, Fujimaru Ritsuka does not need them to create a Christmas atmosphere for the love variety show - after all, Christmas is already a winter festival. Moreover, considering the need for a romantic atmosphere, the show that has already missed Valentine's Day and White Valentine's Day in the opening has a high probability of arranging Christmas as the end of the love variety show for confession.
So, considering the time point of late autumn and early winter——
"There's a chance that the last date will be themed around the Maple Festival - considering the changing seasons." Shirou Emiya pursed his lips, and considering the teaching policy of all Chaldea towards Fujimaru Ritsuka, he gave another possible direction, "There's another possibility that can't be ignored, that is, the theme this time will be 'daily life'."
"It can be as common as a couple sharing a steaming bowl of oden in their hands, or even just a cup of warm milk tea."
