Maki Ep. 32: Hidden Feelings
Maki is hard at work in the restaurant kitchen, hoping that everyone has a good time. Despite her concerns, Maki's work is well received. Maki starts to reconsider whether dealing with customers is truly impossible for her.
Player
Maki! Yoshiko! Good work back there! You made it through until closing time.
Maki
Thanks! Yeah, somehow I made it.
Yoshiko
This was nothing for I, Yohane! And the atmosphere was great, just as I'd expect from Maki's favorite restaurant!
Player
The owner was so happy. They said they never thought they'd have the chance to work alongside longtime customer Maki like that.
Maki
Really? Yay! I never expected them to say that!
Player
You weren't any kind of hindrance at all. You should believe in yourself a little more!
Maki
You're right. I guess I just got lost in my own thoughts.
Player
You know, I was thinking… Are you sure you don't want to try interacting with customers after all?
Maki
Wha?! But I…
Player
I just thought that you wanted to take a shot at doing anything you could do for yourself. No?
Maki
Ugh… You're sharp.
Player
People praised your skills even at things you didn't feel confident about, like serving food. I'm sure you'll do fine at dealing with customers.
Maki
Ugh… What should I do?
Yoshiko
Um… Could you stop being so indecisive?
Yoshiko
The fact is, we're understaffed. Don't leave it all me, okay?
Maki
You just said this was nothing for you.
Yoshiko
Sh-Shut up! I said that we need Maki to help deal with customers!
Player
See? Yoshiko believes in you too, Maki.
Maki
…Am I really capable of doing this?
| Option 1: “They need your help, Maki.” |
|---|
| Player Like Yoshiko said, they need your help, Maki! Maki Well, when you put it like that…I'll just have to do it! |
| Option 2: “You'll make it an even more wonderful tea time!” |
| Player I'm sure it'll be an even more wonderful tea time with you around, Maki. Maki So I'd be doing it to make it a wonderful tea time… You're right, I've got to do my best to make that happen! |
Maki
Yoshiko, can you teach me how to deal with customers?
Maki
You know, when I heard I'd be doing the work-study together with you, I actually imagined us both talking to customers together.
Yoshiko
Maki… Is that so?
Maki
I won't grumble. If there's anything I'm lacking, I'll get better! So please, teach me!
Yoshiko
Of course! And in exchange, will you teach me about serving food?
Maki
Sure!
