Ordinary people found it hard to understand the way weirdos thought—watching the officially employed staff of Wagnaria Restaurant panic, ordinary part-timer Matsumoto thought so to herself. Then she glanced at Taneshima, who was also a part-timer, only to find her crouching on the floor with her head lowered, sobbing.
"L-Liar... K-Kojima, he... he's actually going to be cut off... I-If I hadn't brought him here to work part-time..."
Ordinary person Matsumoto: "..."
If she remembered correctly, Taneshima was almost an adult and about to take her college entrance exams, right? So was this restaurant really okay? Although its business and profits were surprisingly good...
"Taneshima, be strong. No matter how hard it is to accept, this is a fact that's about to happen. Smile. Kojima—no, Takanashi must be watching you from heaven right now..." Manager Otoo finally proved useful as he gently pressed a hand on Taneshima's head and comforted her.
"Really?" Taneshima looked up.
Ordinary person Matsumoto: "..."
She felt like ever since they had closed the restaurant, there had been more and more things to complain about. Still, as an ordinary person, she should refrain from commenting and just watch quietly. Besides, could saying something was an impending fact really comfort anyone?
"Uncle Otoo, Takanashi is still outside crying his eyes out..." Even tied to a chair, Aoi Yamada remained utterly oblivious as she said this.
Everyone at Wagnaria Restaurant: "..."
Ah, that was true!
Manager Otoo: "H-Haha, I'm used to comforting people like that. Taneshima, Takanashi must definitely be watching you from outside..."
Part-timer Taneshima: "..."
Something seemed off.
"Uncle Otoo, Takanashi is crying his eyes out and muttering who knows what. There's no way he can be looking at Taneshima-senpai..." The still-oblivious Aoi Yamada spoke again.
Everyone at Wagnaria Restaurant: "..."
Shouldn't they seal Yamada's mouth
