Finally the start of my freshman year's spring break

Hey... Aoi
Yes

I know you're happy about the first day of your part-time job...
But let's walk a bit more normally
There's no way I can not be happy!
/don't dance
/don't dance
/rurarari~

You can finally see the "You at the Door" every day
/and it's spring break!
Ha~n... so happy <3

But... that job is supposed to require cooking, right?
Are you sure you're ok?
/Aoi... can't cook at all...
I have the "Certain Victory Cooking Guidebook" right here, so I'm fine!!

Seeya
/good luck-
/of course-
I'm not giving up just because I can't cook!

I would regret it for the rest of my life if I passed up a chance to work with "You at the Door"

/ah, my hair's messy

Aoi... the beginning is important!
Calm yourself down...

Page 3
-... a customer?

I forgot to tell you, Youta-kun...
We're getting someone new to help out from today on
/changed
I'm Hyuuga Aoi
I messed up from the start...
Messed up!
Messed up!!

Page 4
Pleased to meet you!

Youta-kun?

Zama Youta, pleased to meet you

So you're named Aoi-chan...
Yes!
I... know about you
Eh!?

You come to this store often
Thank you very much

Page 5
Uh...
Uwa~h...
/welcome

He... noticed me!
/here, wet hand towels and water
/yes!

This is... too much happiness

/welcome
/if you've decided on your order, please call me

I met Youta-san the first time half a year ago...
He was working part-time at this shop I wandered into
/ah... not yet

I kept coming her since then and found out that he's a high-schooler and his name
And I eventually realized
/youta-kun this goes to table 2
/ok

Page 6
He had a habit of watching the door from the counter...

That side glance was so beautiful...
But also sad

I think it was love at first sight-...

Eh~...
A cramp!?

Page 7
What are you going to do about the store?
It's spring break, so there're a lot of customers...
Yes... so I have a request of you two

Can you two stay at this store for the two or three days I need to recover... and keep working
What~!?

There's an open room upstairs, how about it?
/i'll pay for expenses
I'm fine, but Aoi-chan is a girl...
I'll... phone home!

This means I can stay with Youta-san for an entire day under the same roof?
I have to convince my parents no matter what!!

- is the situation...
Is it ok?
Go for it?

Work hard, like it's practice for being a wife
-... ok
/my parents...
I'm a grown girl now, so you can at least worry a bit...

Page 8
Ok!
Good god~
They said to go for it like it's practice for being a wife...

Practice being a wife- then can Aoi-chan fix up dinner for us

Aoi-chan can make it, right?
/it was a good move to hire someone who can cook...
Yes... a bit
-... or rather none at all

I want to eat dinner made by Aoi-chan... too

Page 9
I'll... make dinner
/yay
I'll have to do it now!

It's alright... this is why I prepared the "Certain Victory Cooking Guidebook"!
If I use my love love powers towards Youta-kun it'll work out!!
/alright let's do it

Making dinner for someone you like...
It's like a newly wed

Page 10
What... is this?

How... from those ingredients, can something like this be made...
/i made it the way it's written in the book

Aoi-chan, is dinner ready?

Master, I'm hungry...
Kyaaa!
Not yet, don't come!!

Aoi-chan...
What is this
... it was supposed to be dinner

Page 11
... I thought I wrote on the ad that I wanted someone who could cook?

S... sorry
I wanted to...
I wanted to work at this store no matter what...

Master...
How about if I teach Aoi-chan how to cook?

There's nothing wrong with her job as a waitress
As long as she just centers around floor work like until now while she learns, it should be fine

Page 12
Youta-kun, you're the one who has to go through trouble, you know?
Yes...

...if Youta-kun says it like that, there's no helping it
Thank you very much

I'll make dinner tonight
/thanks
/Aoi-chan don't get too down
I'm sorry!

Youta-san covered for me...

Why did you cover for me?

W... wow!

Page 13
He's... cooking like he's performing magic!!

Here... Youta-san special "Sunflower Energy Lunch"
/did some simple help work

/ah, she took it

Youta-san's cute-

Page 14
Hey... what do you mean cute, when speaking to a senior?
Because octopus wiener and rabbit apple

This... is Master's portion!
I'll go hand it to him
/ah hey don't run!

I... can't stop myself

I like you so much it's sad

Page 15
Gochisousama-
Osomatsusama
/it was good

*Gochisousama is what you say after you eat a meal, and osomatsusama is the response by the cook

... I'm glad
Eh?

Aoi-chan is cuter when she's
Smiling like the sun

-... thank you very much

-... um
Youta-san...
Do you have a girlfriend?

-... hn?
I don't...

Page 16
I see-...
He doesn't have a girlfriend

... why, suddenly?
Ah... no!
Hahaha
It's probably so much easier doing housework if your boyfriend could cook like this

-... ah
um...
Um...
I...

Youta-san...
-... I
Aoi-chan!

I'll go make salad, do you want some?

Page 17
Ah... sure
Huh...?
/alright leave it to me

Did he just... deflect me?

Kuh~... it's pretty tough on your waist cleaning the floor by yourself
/kuh
/there's no doubt Master hurt his hip by mopping the floor
Young people slacking off on a daily basis is true

Diary...
I wonder if a customer dropped it?

Page 18
... my photo!?

No... if I look carefully it's different!
/ahh that was freaky!

But... she looks so similar
Master-...
I found a diary on the floor
Ahh... yes, a forgotten item

Ah... this is Youta-kun's
Eh?

That diary... has the photo of a girl in it?
Youta-san said he doesn't have a girlfriend yesterday!
That's-...
This photo...
Is of his old girlfriend?

Page 19
Master-...
His old girlfriend!?
/you know something!?
/ahh a devious girl
/how cunning
... that's not something you should hear from someone else's mouth

Please...
Tell me!
But...

Please
Please

Keep it a secret from Youta-kun, ok?
... ok

Youta-kun... before he started working here
He came here often... with his girlfriend in the photo

Page 20
But...
This store was also where they broke up

Youta-kun...
At the moment she stepped out of the store, said to her...
"I'll always be waiting at this store"

Immediately after that-...
Six months ago he began working part-time here...
I see... he still thinks of his old girlfriend...

... Youta-kun!?
Kya...

S... sorry!
It's not a story someone else should be talking about
I'm sorry... I forced him to tell me
... It's alright

Page 21
Eh?
It's alright... by now

It's just a story about the past...
/here, breakfast

-... So that's it...

Why he always stared at that door...
Is because he was waiting for his old girlfriend

Page 22
The past-... no...

I get it...

Knowing me, covering for me, being kind

All of it is because I look similar
... to his old girlfriend

Page 23
I was so happy...

That's true... if he still has her photo, then he's not over her yet
Hn...
/is your job alright?
/it's closed until 3~4

It feels like, wow~ what now

... so
Aoi is going to give up on Youta-san?

Page 24
... what else can I do
He loves her so much he still carries her photo
And... for me to confess to him, with how similar I look
Feels like cheating...

But... the one close to Youta-kun now is Aoi-chan!
You're still going to give way to the old girlfriend and give up?

What's more important is not the old girlfriend but the feeling of liking Youta-san

Page 25
-...hn
Alright...

Alright, I've decided...
I'm going to gather up courage and confess!
/go at it head on-
Alright!
That's Aoi!!

/good luck

Page 26
... Youta-san

Can I... not replace her?

Page 27
Just now... did he just mistake me for his old girlfriend?
W... welcome back
... Thanks!

Um... I'm sorry about this morning
No problem...

Page 28
It feels really stupid
To still be waiting here after six months...

Aoi-chan...
Did you see the photo in the diary?
I'm sorry!
When I picked it up I got a glance...

Ah...

She looks similar to Aoi-chan doesn't she?
When... I first saw Aoi-chan I was stunned

... Youta-san

Page 29
I-...
Youta-san..
Aoi-chan!

It's almost time for the store to open

... then
I can't be it

Page 30
Aoi-cha...
Even before I started working here...
I was always watching Youta-san!

I was happy I could finally talk to you...
I was so happy I could cry when you called me by my name
/what what

Even if it was just a bit...
I wanted you to see me!

... Aoi-chan!

Page 31
You left your belongings... and without a word ran out?
Yeah... Youta-san's probably angry
I ran out just before peak time for customers, too...
And Master isn't in the condition to move around...
Uwah... crap!!

But...
I can't continue the job anymore anyways

I don't know what happened...
But if you're going to stop, you need to tell them you're going to stop
It's rude for them if you just leave without a word

And Aoi doesn't want it to end like this either, right?
... yeah

You thought about him for half a year...
I need to go apologize...
... yeah

Page 32
Saying good bye like this...
I don't want to

This is probably...
My fault

Page 33
I... I'm sorry!

Saying such selfish things...
And flying out without thinking about work...

... I'm really sorry!!

Oh no... he's looking really scary!
What to do...
What to do!!

-... um
You said "look at me" yesterday, so I'm looking

Page 34
M... meanie!
/uh~~~~
Yep
/did you just notice?

/he laughed...

... Youta-san?
In the beginning, I was drawn to you because you looked like her

But-...
As that feeling got stronger
I thought I couldn't let it be like this...
It's rude to Aoi-chan

That's why I tried not to think about it and looked away

Page 35
But yesterday... when you left yesterday, I felt really empty, and I thought about why that was

My old girlfriend is perfect somewhere...
And was the type to never show her feelings to others

But Aoi-chan is hyper...
/sucks at cooking
And shows her emotions so well it's impossible to miss

When she cries...
/that's mean
She immediately laughs or gets angry
/like that!

With her expression rolling around changing and changing...
I became surprised

Page 36
She's entirely different from my old girlfriend...
A bright, straight-forward, smiling Aoi-chan

I liked that you so much...
That I couldn't figure out what to do

Page 37
I'm sorry...
/I made this yesterday, do you want to eat it?
/I'll eat it...

From the door I was always waiting for to open
I just realized that Aoi-chan stepped through

Page 38
Huh-?

Aoi... weren't you going to quit the job?
/what? quit
Ahahaaaaaaa

Come on-... Ryoko!
There's no way I'd quit at such a busy time~!?
/ok ok

Plus Aoi-chan has to keep being trained to cook by me
Uwah... that sounds like it'll take a lot of time
Yes-
... that's so cruel
/even though it's true

Page 39
Well... Aoi-chan
Just think of it as wife training!!

/uhyo-
Hn?

Uh... did I say something weird?


Spring term End
