Chapter 14: The New Workplace

MC: (Although I’ve started working here, Tom Collins and everyone else won’t look at me…)

Gin Fizz: Mimosa’s gonna get mad if you dawdle while wiping the glasses like that. Its fine to keep doing things just like Old Pal now, but you need to learn how to stand on your own two feet or you might get fired.

MC: Well, that would be bad… I just really want to talk to Tom Collins and everyone properly.

Gin Fizz: ….do they know? That you’re working here.

MC: They… Oh, you mean everyone at the bar across from us? No, I haven’t said a thing. I think it’s best to not tell them right now.

Gin Fizz: …Right. If you say that you’re working here, then Kamikaze would have a screaming fit. He’s usually quiet, but he has his impulsive moments.

MC: Huh, you know them pretty well don’t you? Do you not meet up anymore?

Gin Fizz: Ah… I don’t have the chance to meet them cause I’ve already quit working there.

MC: I see…

Gin Fizz: Looking at your job performance, it makes me think you all had some tough times back there. Well, judging from how lazy your work is.

MC: I’m not being lazy! I’m just being careful to not break the glass.

Gin Fizz: Haha, so that’s what you’re doing then. I’ll be going on ahead of you, See ya.

MC: Oh, wait! There’s something I wanted to ask.. Wah!?

Gin Fizz: Ah!

Mc: Heheh…N-nice catch…

Gin Fizz: ah…you’re kidding me with this. Guess it just can’t be helped, huh…

MC: I’m sorry, but thank you. Gin Fizz, you’re really nice; you know how to take care of others.

Gin Fizz: Ha-hah!? I’m not, it’s because you move slow so there’s nothing else I can do.

MC: (Wow, his ears are so red. Maybe it was a bit surprising for me to express myself like this.)

Gin Fizz: …what do you think you’re doing, staring at people like that?

MC: (…he stopped leaving, now’s my chance) Um… You and Tom Collins are siblings, right? I was wondering if you have asked the reason why they all came here?

Gin Fiz: …Well now. I don’t speak to him, so I don’t know.

MC: Huh….really? (Speaking of which, I haven’t seen the two of them talk in the few days I’ve been here…)

Gin Fizz: If that’s all it is, then I’m gonna go.

MC: Oh, okay… Good job today.

Alaska: Huh? You’re still here?

MC: Ah! You scared me… You’re still here too, Alaska.

Alaska: Yeah. I was working in the greenhouse today too, so I’m feeling a little under the weather

MC: Ah! Are you alright?

Alaska: I rested up, so I’m okay.

MC: Alaska, you collapsed already before… Does your body usually get weak like that?

Alaska: No, it’s not that my body is weak. It’s just that I don’t do so well in the heat.

MC: So that’s it. But florists can’t avoid working in greenhouses, can they?

Alaska: That’s right. It’s true what you say about greenhouses, but florists are always getting dirty with soil, there’s a lot of manual labor, so I guess it’s a pretty hard job?

MC: Manual labor Alaska…I kind of wanna see that

Alaska: Hahaha, come join me next time. Oh, it’s that time already… I’m going to go home. You should probably go home soon too.

MC: Alright, good work today. (I talked with Gin Fizz and Alaska, but I…)
