Chapter 114 ? The Diverse Styles of Customer Service 2
“Now, let’s start the third customer service practice session.”
After school, Reinhardt, Yoshida, Yutte-chan, who was helping out, and I gathered in our usual empty classroom.
“Alright, let’s start with Reinhardt today! Pretend I’m someone you’ve just met for the first time.”
“Okay, I’ll try my best.”
Reinhardt nodded with a smile and led me to the familiar booth seat.
“Oh, it’s actually pretty embarrassing to sit here.”
“Yes, knowing that you’re being watched could be quite embarrassing.”
Being treated as a customer is already nerve-wracking, and having others watch the interaction makes it even more so.
Respecting Rita-sama for always giving her all, I glanced at Reinhardt, who sat next to me.
“Um, aren’t you sitting a bit too close?”
“Not at all.”
He stated clearly, making me wonder if I was mistaken, but being this close is still strange.
Our bodies are pressed tightly together, with Reinhardt’s hand wrapped around my waist. A sweet scent gently tickles my nose.
“I see… So, this is the style.”
Reinhardt might have the same romantic customer service style as Arnold-san. If that’s the case, I need to respond properly as the customer.
“I’m happy to be alone with you like this, Rene-chan.”
“Alone… Yes, we are alone.”
Yoshida, who was fairly close, had a slightly awkward expression as he quietly moved towards the window.
Though Yutte-chan is here too, it seems Reinhardt’s attention is solely on me in this space.
“Oh, how about a drink…”
“Rene-chan, I bet even if I were to serve other people, you wouldn’t mind, huh?”
“… W-What?”
The topic was so sudden that I could only feel bewildered as Reinhardt looked at me with a sorrowful gaze.
“I think I wouldn’t be able to bear it if Rene-chan were to serve other people like this.”
“Eh… Oh!”
I was puzzled as to why he suddenly brought this up. Perhaps this was a subtle way of hinting that I shouldn’t let other customers be served and instead monopolize his attention by spending a considerable amount.
I see, that’s how it is, and I get motivated again.
“Rene-chan, you probably don’t care about me at all, do you?”
“That’s not true! I’m a big supporter of you!”
“I can’t do my best without you, Rene-chan. Will you really support only me?”
He gripped my right hand tightly, looking at me with pleading eyes.
Suddenly, it hits me. This is a manipulative tactic—displaying vulnerability to trigger protective or maternal instincts.
This kind of attitude makes me feel like I have to support him.
Feeling the need to maintain my role as a customer and respond appropriately, I quickly grabbed the menu.
“I-I get it! I’ll cheer you on, so let’s do our best!”
“Really, only me?”
“Of course, leave it to me! So cheer up!”
“Yes, that’s good to hear. I’m really happy.”
He smiled brightly, and I felt relieved.
Realizing Reinhardt’s face was too good, I inadvertently ordered an expensive tea.
“At this rate, I’ll go bankrupt.”
“Even if you go bankrupt, I’ll support you for life, so it’s okay.”
With the added marriage proposal, I found Reinhardt to be intimidating.
I realized that people like me and Rita-sama, who fall for this kind of sales pitch, should never go to a real host club.
“Rene-chan, it’s time to switch.”
At Yutte-chan’s call, the practice session ended. If it had gone on for a long time, I’m sure I would have ordered another expensive cup of tea.
Reinhardt, who had been nervous before starting, performed like a pro.
“Reinhardt, you were like a professional! I was surprised.”
“Really? I’ll keep trying my best for you, Rene-chan.”
“Thank you! I’ll do my best behind the scenes too.”
Reinhardt is likely to rake in quite a sum, not falling behind the second-year group. Even so, each of them has their own sales style, and before we knew it, we’ve formed a management structure with no blind spots.
Finally, it was Yoshida’s turn for practice.
As per usual, I settled into the seat beside him, and the menu was presented to me.
“What will you have?”
“W-Whatever Maximilian-kun likes… I want to like what Yoshida-kun likes too…”
“You’re already faltering.”
Having grown accustomed to being the customer, I decided to take on the role of a serious admirer for Yoshida, considering it was a rare chance for practice.
