Chapter 55: 1st Day Cultural Festival (2)
Russell, Ayaka, and Mikael spent the day waiting for their shift to start work. So they decided to see the opening event in the field, which is a welcome word from the principal followed by the performance of the school band. After that they also tried to enter the ghost house rides made by classes 1-1. Although Mikael had made a little noise in the vehicle, fortunately nothing bad happened. Then, as they exit the haunted house rides, it is seen that the day shift is about to begin, so they rush straight to class 1-2.
.
"Hello everyone, we came on time." Russell
"Well, thank goodness." Speech the class leader
"Where was the shift this morning?" Russell
"Rame really, our class can be in the best-selling category in this case.." Speech the class leader
"Yosh, we should be able to win at least one category.." Mikael
"Well, good." Russell
"So we can start the day shift now?" Ayaka
"Yes, you can start now. Please go to your respective positions." Speech the class leader
"Yosh, let's get Mik's spirit, Ayaka." Russell
"Yeah!" Mikael
"Y-yes.." Ayaka
.
After getting instructions from the class president, the morning shift work was completed, and they were replaced by the day shift. For the success rate of their projects during the morning shift. A maid cafe is a pretty good idea. Maid cafe class 1-2 is visited by many visitors since the morning, and they give positive reviews to the maid cafe, in addition to friendly service, and they give positive reviews, the taste of food in the 1-2 class maid cafe is also delicious, of course, with prices that adjust to the wallet of school children in general.
With this, the day shift begins. Russell, Mikael, and Ayaka will be working hard for the next 3 hours...
.
"Hmm.. So we have to promote to the visitors huh?" Mikael
"Yes, we have to buy these menus." Russell
"Hmm. okay with that." Mikael
.
Soon, a visitor of a cultural festival came to them.
"Haloo.welcome to class 1-2, we make a maid cafe here.." Russell
"Hmm. maid cafe yes.." Say the Visitor
"Yup, here we provide a lot of food and drinks menu." Mikael
"Hmm.. what is the most popular menu in this cafe?" Say the Visitor
"For the popular menu, here we have omurice." Russell
"That's a great deal, it's guaranteed to taste good. You can see for yourself through the response of previous visitors in this book of criticism & advice." Mikael
"Hmm. looks interesting too. So, yes, I entered." Say the Visitor
"Please.." Russell
.
"Well, that was our first visitor." Russell
"Where? The promotional skill I pointed out earlier?" Mikael
"Hmm. yeah, you can.." Russell
"Haha. now we just wait for the other visitors." Mikael
"Yes.." Russell
.
Without feeling, the cooperation of Russell and Mikael in the promotion seems to run very smoothly. The visitors seemed to come continuously without stopping. Although they are a little overwhelmed, but that also makes them more eager to live their work.
.
While Ayaka, who is a maid in the classroom, also does her job very well, she caters to customers very kindly.
"Ayaka, here's an order for table number 5. Omurice and strawberry milkshake." Assistant chef
"Oh-okay, just a second.." Ayaka
.
Ayaka brought ready-made dishes to the customer's table.
"Here you go, omurice and her strawberry milkshake. Please enjoy it.." Ayaka
"Wahh.. it looks really good..The maid is also friendly. Can you ask for her phone number?" Say the Customer
"Eh-a-" said Ayaka
"Hmm. I'm sorry, according to our cafe regulations such things are not allowed yes." Said Waiter who happened to be not far from there
"Ehehe. i-iya I was just joking around.." Say the Customer
"Okay, thank you.." Ayaka
"Yes, I'll eat the food.." Say the Customer
.
.
.
A few hours passed quickly, the three of them seemed to be working well, even though they were a little exhausted. At the end of the day, the day shift is over. Russell, Ayaka, and Mikael have been able to get the job done, and they now have free-back hours.
.
"It works well, everything.." Speech the class leader

"Good, good luck." Mikael
"That's how we go first." Russell
"Yup, have fun." Speech the class leader

After that Russell, Ayaka, and Mikael try to determine where else they will go after previously trying the ghost house rides class 1-1.
"Hmm. Where are we now." Russell
"RIGHT!! If it's not wrong Miko also appeared there." Mikael
"That's so excited for you, Mik." Russell

"Yoo!! MIKO!!" Mikael
"Sttts.. Mik! We're in the theater." Russell
"Hmm. the audience please calm down.." Said the standing guard staff
"Y-yes.." Mikael
.
.

It didn't feel like 45 minutes passed quickly, and the drama was over. Afterwards, Russell, Ayaka, and Mikael immediately dropped out of the theater, and wrote down their criticisms and suggestions for the 1-3 class theater which was then put into a suggestion box.
Since there was still about 30 minutes left, they finally decided to buy some food at the class 2-6 stand, before finally gathering in class for a sales evaluation throughout the day.

"What do you want to buy Cells for?" Mikael
"Hmm.. I bought yakisoba like, if you want to buy what?" Russell
"I want a snack, I think I want to buy dango aja deh." Mikael
"Ohh.. If you buy what Ayaka?" Russell
"I want to buy takoyaki with matcha ice.." Russell
"Jude, I'll be antherin." Russell
"Ma-thank you.." Ayaka

After they bought all the food and drinks. They head straight to class for a meeting and a closing evaluation of the first day of the cultural festival this time around.
"It's all right? Let's go to class now." Russell
"Udah. Uh but where's Mikael?" Ayaka
"Hmm, maybe still buy the dangonya. Yaudah let's go to class first.." Russell
"O-okay.." Ayaka
.
.
.
The first day of the cultural festival still continues, after Russell, Ayaka, and Mikael enter the haunted house made by the 1-1 class. The day shift finally began.
Russell and Mikael who got a part as the front door guard of the cafe will work as a promotional media for their maid cafe as well as welcoming visitors who will enter the maid cafe, explain the menus and also as the front face of the cafe (they get the important part because it will reflect the entire cafe).
While Ayaka who gets the part as a maid will run the task as a waiter who will give orders to cafe visitors. He also has an important role because like the name of his own cafe, namely Maid Cafe. So the maid became one of the most important elements in this project.
They did a pretty good job, Russell and Mikael were able to promote visitors by explaining the food menus, as well as the rating of the previous visitors, with which they get quite a lot of customers, thanks to good collaboration as well.
Meanwhile in the cafe, Ayaka looks quite good in his duties as a maid, he seems to serve customers with friendly. While helping them to choose a menu, bring food, and have a short chat. To the extent that, when Ayaka was bringing food to one of the visitors, Ayaka was instead asked for her phone number because the visitor was amazed by her.
Not feeling the time passed, they serve a lot of customers who continue to arrive, until finally the day shift clock ends, and they will soon be replaced with an afternoon shift.
Tired of work, Russell, Ayaka, and Mikael decide to tour the cultural festival again. Start by visiting the drama theater in grades 1-3. They bought tickets for the 3rd (afternoon) theater performance at 14:00. Incidentally, Miko is also being one of the fill characters in the ongoing drama. Suddenly, Mikael was immediately excited to watch the drama. Although at the end of the drama that ended sadly, but they are quite satisfied with the interesting plot of the drama that has been shown. After that they come out of the classroom and give criticism and advice in the theater visitor response book class 1-3.
Then, as they start to feel hungry, there are still about 30 minutes left before the first day's cultural festival is over. They decided to hunt for food stands that were around the school grounds. Russell buys yakisoba, while Ayaka buys takoyaki and matcha ice, and Mikael buys dango mitarashi.
Lastly, before going home. All members of grades 1-2 gather in the class, to evaluate what they are doing and the total earnings of the maid cafe throughout the first day of the festival. After that they all cleaned up the maid cafe to get back neat, and went home to prepare themselves for the day. 2 Day cultural festival, here we come!!
