Chapter 2: Preparing to Move

*footsteps*

Kamikaze: Hey, don’t you think you should use the vacuum to suck up all the dust before wiping the floor down with a rag?

Gimlet: He’s right. I clean my room faster when I do that.

*footsteps*

Jack Rose: …Does anyone know what we’re doing with their luggage?

Kamikaze: Screwdriver said he would take care of it. You can go ask him if you wanna confirm.

Jack Rose: Oh, I might just do that…. Sorry!

MC: No, it’s my fault. I wasn’t looking at where I was going.

Gimlet: Don’t hurt yourselves, the both of you. We still have time, so there’s no need to rush.

MC: But Old Pal and everyone said they would be moving in, so now I feel energized…
Then why don’t I prepare rooms for the four of you?

Old Pal: Oh, thank you so much! Ah~, I’m bored of living in the hotel. Great timing! I welcome the lively lifestyle! I’m excited!

Gin Fizz: Ah, the number of people there will probably surpass ‘lively’.

Alaska: That’s the place where everyone took care of me when I fainted, right?

MC: Yeah, that’s right.

Alexander: You have a garden, don’t you? I can use it for my flower arrangements when the flowers are in bloom

MC: I think that’ll be okay. I’ll try and check with everyone.

Alexander: Thanks a lot.

MC: (Not only Old Pal and Gin Fizz, but Alaska and Alexander seem to be really excited about it) So that means the only one left in the hotel is… Mimosa

Alexander: Yeah

MC: (Mimosa, I wonder where he is and what he’s doing.)

Alaska: …

Gin Fizz: …

Old Pal: Ah~, if it’s Mimosa you’re worried about, I’m sure he’s off living his life somewhere, so let’s lighten the subject.

MC: …Yeah, you’re right. I haven’t heard anything about him, so I can’t help but feel a little down about it. Anyways, all of you should pack up your things at the hotel.

Alaska: Got it. We’ll get everything ready so we’ll be ready to move in whenever.

Gin Fizz: We don’t have many large things, so it we’ll finish quickly.

Alexander: There’s a space for me to display my flowers, right?

Gimlet: Hey

MC: …

Gimlet: Are you listening?

MC: Ah, sorry. I zoned out for a minute

Jack Rose: You alright? Maybe you’re tired from taking over the two bars…

Gimlet: If you’re suffering from exhaustion, why not give one of my smoothies a try?

MC: Your smoothie!?

Gimlet: I have one that’s great for nutrition. I think it’s still in the refrigerator. I’ll go to the kitchen and check.

Kamikazi: Hang on! You’re the one in charge of cleaning now, so if you leave, you’ll be in trouble!

MC: I’m completely fine! I was just thinking about what we should do about Mimosa.

Jack Rose: …We’re looking for him, but we haven’t been able to locate him at all.

MC: Yeah, Old Pal and everyone are probably still worried, so I thought that I should help them out.

Gimlet: Well, everyone is going to start living together here soon. So you’ll be able to share information. If you think about it, then maybe you’ll have a lot of solutions come to mind. Don’t you think it would be best to not be so hush-hush about it?

MC: You may be right

Kamikaze: By the way, are we going to have a welcome party like when you came?

MC: Good idea! We’re going to be having 4 people move in suddenly, so I wanna do it! I wonder if the dining room or the living room will be better for us to use…

Gimlet: Sounds fun. I’ll go let everyone know.

Kamikaze: I’ll help too if you’re going to think of what to put on the menu.

Gimlet: Counting on you. Well then, shall we get to cleaning the next room? They probably want to come over here soon.

MC: I guess this is it for cleaning the rooms. Thanks for your help, everyone.

Gimlet: Good work to you too. All that’s left is for them to move their boxes.

MC: (I’ll let Old Pal and everyone know when I go to work today.)
