"Thanks to everyone, the cafe has exceeded the sales target," Kei announced as the idols cleaned the place. "I should be glad that those precious customers return unharmed."

"So, you were the one who made those evildoers to be here in the first place?" Masato questioned as he tried his best to surpress his anger.

"What if I am? It's not like they will hurt you guys," Kei replied with one eye closed. Masato then stomped furiously towards Kei and pulled Kei's necktie towards himself.

"How dare you do that! What if someone really did get hurt?" Masato exclaimed angrily while remembering the situation that you was in a while ago. Never thought that Masato could get this scary when angry. Never judge a book by its cover.

"Calm down Hijirikawa, don't let it out at him. As long as nobody's hurt, that will be assuring," Ren said as he broke the two's quarrel.

"Gosh...dude, you just lose your cool for such a small situation. It's only a test to see if you can save a customer from harm NOT asking you to go into a war with those guys," Kei scoffed as he adjusted his spectacles. "Plus, those thugs I hired were perfectly tamed...it's just an act, not real!"

"Wha...?" Masato began but soon realised that he was wrong about Kei. "I'm very sorry for lashing it at you..."

"Meh...it happens, don't fret. Anyways, I'm really glad that the simulation room was being put into good use and my android, Mako, was also very popular there!" Kei commented, along with an evil laughter.

Well, nobody replied to his self compliments as they were all busy moving things back to its original places and cleaning up. But then one particular group stopped their usual chores and approached to their senior butler.

"According to Shining, Quartet Night won't be here for two days due to some tasks that were given back at the agency," Ai began.

"So, we'd like to have two days off!" Reiji beamed.

"Oh, I see. Permission is granted. Can't say no to workaholics," Kei said as he left to calculate the cash that the Cafe has earned, again.

"Workholics...? Doesn't seem like it to me," Reiji commented.

"Well, look who's talkin'?" Ranmaru scoffed as he left to the second floor to help out Syo and Natsuki.

Meanwhile, Tokiya and Ittoki were discussing of their plan regarding Mei and her friends. Since tommorow's event will be a little bit different from today's, the boys decided to preach Mei, who happened to be wiping the tables.

"Hi, Mei! Um...regarding tomorrow, is it ok if you invite your friends over? We'll help you with the quest," Ittoki began with a smile.

"Our senpais won't be here for two days so it might be a good chance," Tokiya added, enough to remove the gray clouds above Mei's soul.

"For real?! I guess that might work..." Mei said as she continued wiping the table clean.

"It will work, STARISH will help out!" Ittoki beamed with a grin.

After that, Mei thanked them for contributing in her friend's request. Meanwhile, Syo and Natsuki and Ranmaru were moving the conveyor machine back to its original place.

"But seriously, how did Kei get this conveyor machine here? Did he loan it or somethin'?" Syo asked while pushing the machine as carefully as possible with the help of the rollers.

"Maybe the sushi fairies gave it to him as a present due to his hardwork," Natsuki replied with his goofy smile, which made Syo facepalmed.

"Natsuki...sushi fairies DO NOT exist."
