How to Spend Time at the Kamen Café (Soun)
Noa: Welcome, Soun-san.
Soun: May I sit here?
Noa: Of course, please have a seat.
Noa: Are you ready to order?
Soun: I would like the café's recommendations and wine to go along with it.
Noa: Certainly!
Noa: You know, I'm surprised you stopped by. I always thought Koki-san cooked you something before work.
Soun: Koki went to a wholesale market today.
Soun: Apparently there are some ingredients on sale that he'd like to use for the lounge's menu.
Noa: It's just like him to obsess over unusual foods…!
(Time passes)
Leon: Thank you for your patience. Here is the herb roasted chicken and baguette set.
Soun: Ah, thank you.
Soun: …
Soun: …This is good.
Soun: What kind of spices do you use?
Leon: It's an herb blend, sir. If I may say, it is our very own original recipe.
Soun: I see. And how did you select the platter?
Leon: Taking into account the color of the chicken, I decided on a material that wouldn't dampen its image. The harmony between the tableware and the food is one of the pleasures of dining.
Soun: Was the arrangement also your doing?
Leon: Yes, sir. Whatever I decide, I always make sure to get Master Noa's input as well.
Soun: Your food service is not only meticulous, but also beautiful. The quantity, too, is just the right amount.
Leon: Pleasing our customers is an endeavor that takes continuous trial and error, so it's a great honor to hear those kind words from you, Master Soun…!
OPTION A: Leon's dedication sure is amazing!
Soun: It's certainly an example to live by.
OPTION B: It sort of feels as if we're being tested.
Soun: …Not at all, I was just curious.
Soun: I'll have to visit again.
Noa: Thank you very much. We look forward to seeing you next time!
Noa: …Phew. I definitely didn't expect to be bombarded by so many questions. Soun-san is a stickler for details, isn't he?
Leon: …Perhaps he was here to scope out the enemy. Please be careful, Master Noa.
Noa: I suppose so…
