Chapter 115 ? The Diverse Styles of Customer Service 3
“You can order anything expensive you like, okay? I want to be Yoshida-kun’s top customer because I like you…”
“No, you don’t have to do this.”
“Really? You don’t hate me for being such a cheap customer…?”
“I won’t dislike you for something like that, so don’t worry.”
“Eh, does that mean you like me then!?”
“Why does it have to be either like or dislike?”
Even when I act as a difficult customer, Yoshida handles it well and interacts with me in a wholesome, friendly manner.
“What type of girl do you like, Yoshida-kun?”
“I don’t have a particular type.”
“Eh, does that mean it’s me!?”
“You’re being too optimistic.”
As we talked and laughed, Yoshida’s occasional smiles made me happy. His smile is priceless.
“I’ll spend money so Yoshida-kun won’t cheat on me!”
“What’s your position here?”
With Yoshida’s reassuring and enjoyable presence, I could see why he’d have many repeat customers. I might have visited every day and become his number one customer. It’s really fortunate that it was just a two-day event.
Before I knew it, it had turned into a counseling session with the attentive Yoshida, and I quickly took the opportunity to discreetly consult him about my fluttering feelings towards Julius.
“So, when I mentioned I’ve been feeling nervous lately, Yutte-chan said it might be love, which totally surprised me.”
“Aren’t you the one who’s cheating on me?”
Yoshida’s words startled me so much that I almost dropped my teacup.
“W-What…? Y-Yoshida, are you drunk…?”
“Why does it sound like a joke when I say it? It’s really embarassing, so stop it.”
“Yoshida saying things like that, it’s so cute.”
“Enough already. What do you take me for? Even Theodore-sama makes jokes once in a while.”
“Really?”
I’d definitely pay to see the heartwarming scene of Yoshida and the prince joking around together.
Seeing Yoshida getting embarrassed because I took his joke seriously was adorable, and I almost found myself wanting to go get the money I’d been saving at home. I like him.
“Sorry, Yoshida! From now on, I won’t be the only one joking around. I’ll let you take the lead sometimes. I’ll also work on my comebacks!”
“There’s no need for that. Hey, let go, you idiot.”
As I clung to him, begging Yoshida to share more of his jokes, I suddenly felt an arm wrap around me and pull me back.
I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was; the familiar scent gave it away.
“Okay, that’s enough for now. Good job.”
“Thank you, you saved me.”
“Sure. I like Yoshida-kun, so it’s all good.”
Julius had come to pick me up without me noticing, and he ended the practice session. The time seemed just right, so we decided to call it a day.
“Yoshida did an excellent job with the service. I look forward to working with you again on the actual day!”
“Well, I’m going to do my best.”
With everyone’s practice now complete, I’m once again convinced that this will be a formidable stall. Since we had come this far, I was even more motivated to win.
???
Starting today, two days before the school festival, regular classes are canceled.
Only the student council members and students who would be setting up stalls were to attend school, so naturally, I arrived at the school with Julius in the morning.
Yesterday and the day before were holidays, and an interior decorator had come in during those days, so I opened the door with a pounding heart.
“Wow…! Amazing! It looks like a real store!”
“Yeah, it turned out well.”
What had been a regular classroom until yesterday was now a luxurious host club-style cafe, and I couldn’t help but gasp in awe as I stepped in.
The interior, with its predominant gold and black colors, is filled with several booth seats, and even the large chandelier is shining brightly.
Beautiful flowers and paintings are adorned everywhere, making my heart flutter. This is definitely not the typical quality of a student school festival.
“We’ve definitely secured the win…”
“Hahaha, that’s good then.”
Considering the quality of the venue and our members, I was sure we’d win and earn extra points in the ranking test. Feeling grateful to everyone, I clenched my right hand in determination.
“The sofa is really soft and comfy! Look!”
“You’re like a little kid.”
Sitting down on the sofa, I find it incredibly comfortable. Julius, who has taken a seat beside me, nods in agreement.
“How much did this cost? I’m a bit anxious to know.”
“That’s a secret. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly.”
While I trusted Julius with the finances, I had a feeling it was an eye-popping amount.
“Hey, what about those paintings over there—”
“Hmm?”
As I glanced at the painting and turned back, Julius’s face was suddenly very close, pinning me against the sofa’s backrest.
“W-What are you doing?”
“I thought I’d practice my customer service skills.”
“J-Julius doesn’t need any more practice…”
Feeling nervous, I averted my gaze and pressed my body against the back of the sofa, desperately trying to create distance. As I attempted to put some space between us, Julius sighed softly.
“Rene, something’s been off lately. You seem more distant than before, and I hate it.”
“… Eh?”
“I just don’t want that kind of treatment from Rene, you know? So, if there’s a reason, please tell me.”
His sad gaze makes my heart tighten.
Indeed, until now, when Julius got close like this, I would just laugh it off, saying, “You’re too close.”
He would never have thought that I was conscious of him as a member of the opposite sex and was feeling shy about it. As a result, he probably thought that I was avoiding him.
Realizing that Julius was hurt because of my lack of composure made me feel incredibly guilty.
“You said you loved me the other day, but have you really grown to hate me? If that’s the case, then I’ll stop getting close to you.”
“N-No way! It’s actually the opposite—”
I unconsciously grab Julius’s arm in a panic as he tries to pull away.
“Huh?”
Realizing what I had just blurted out, I quickly covered my mouth.
