"Um, you're from that Wagnaria—the Matsu, Matsu, Matsu..." Lady Umaru, who had already worked out a plan, intended to change the subject first and shift the focus onto the other person. That would greatly reduce the risk of her being exposed. But what was this person's name again?
Matsushima? Matsuzaki? Or Matsusaka? Calling her "waitress" would seem rather rude, wouldn't it!?
"Yes, I'm Maya Matsumoto. I work part-time at Wagnaria." She was so ordinary, yet she hadn't been ignored?
Not only that, the other girl had even thoughtfully given her an opportunity to introduce herself? After all, she remembered "Matsu"—how could she not remember that her name was Matsumoto?
This wasn't scientific! So was it because she wasn't ordinary enough after all? Just as she thought...
"R-Right, Miss Matsumoto from Wagnaria..." The other girl's rescue made Lady Umaru breathe a sigh of relief inwardly. "Are you working here right now?" If the other girl was working part-time here, then she must have noticed the commotion from earlier. At a time like this, all she had to do was apologize, and there was a very high chance the other girl would leave immediately. Then she wouldn't be exposed!
Maya Matsumoto froze. "..." Eh!? R-Right! This wasn't Wagnaria. Whatever happened here had nothing to do with her, so what exactly had she been doing just now?
Ugh! This damned occupational habit... Wait! If she wasn't a staff member here, then hadn't her behavior just now been a provocation toward these important people?
If she angered these important people, could her ordinary, unremarkable life continue? Heh, hehe... Absolutely not!
What should she do? What could she do? Even if she told the truth, they definitely wouldn't believe her, right? Besides, bringing up occupational habits would sound even more like a provocation. Wouldn't that
