The Excitable Youngest¹
Soun: Tomorrow's appointments… are fully booked, hm? There's quite a bit of overlap in assignments, so I'll adjust the schedule—
Hayate: Soun~! I'm all done cleaning the floor~!
Soun: Very good, thank you.
Hayate: What'cha doing? Oh, checking tomorrow's appointments? So tomorrow~ Those three regulars are gonna be here~!
Soun: Is that so?
Hayate: They contacted me earlier. They said something good happened at work, so they'd be happy to celebrate with us~
Hayate: We were talking 'bout having a nice bottle of wine. Tomorrow's gonna be lots of fun~!
Soun: …
Soun: …It looks like you've had one too many drinks tonight.
Hayate: Heehee, you think so?
Soun: Yes. You're more troublesome when you've drunk too much.
Hayate: Aw, isn't troublesome
mean?!
Soun: The undeniable truth is what it is.
Hayate: Okay, but like, I can't refuse if they're all like Hayate-kun, let's make a toast!
, now can I?
Soun: Indeed not, but… You tend to misjudge your limits from time to time.
Soun: You wouldn't conduct yourself in this manner in front of our clientele, would you?
Hayate: Don't worry 'bout a thing! I'm a total professional through and through.
Soun: So you say, though… You'll be drinking more wine tomorrow with your customers, no?
Hayate: Ahahaha! Soun, you gotta stop worrying so much, it'll be A-OK!
Hayate: I barely get hangovers, y'know?
Soun: …It's not the hangovers I'm worried about. All I'm saying is don't overdo it.
Soun: Let's think back on tonight. Were these customers likely to drink in excess? If I remember correctly, I believe they were not.
Hayate: It's just that as the talking goes on, so does the drinking. For sure, that might've been why I ended up drinking too muchttps://www.generateit.net/html-minify-beautify/#h…
Soun: …I see. I suppose that goes to show how much our customers enjoy talking to you.
Hayate: Talking with them's a lot of fun, and them having fun makes me happy~
Hayate: If it means helping out Wisdom, then I'm even happier—and you are too! Everyone wins!
Soun: …You really are drunk, after all. You're running your mouth more than usual.
Soun: However, it's good to know that you care enough to keep the lounge in mind.
Hayate: I'm care-care-caring~!
Soun: Yes, yes… Moreover, Hayate.
Hayate: Yeah?
Soun: I'm sure you'll be fine, but if you find yourself feeling unwell tomorrow, go get one of those lattes you enjoy before coming to work.
Soun: Caffeine is effective against hangovers.
Hayate: Ahaha, aren't you sweet! Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Soun!
Soun: Mhm.
