Sakurakoji took a moment to observe her performance and couldn't help but be amazed. Even if he sent his own real maids over, they might not perform as well as her.
"That's talent," Sakurakoji Takashi nodded to himself, expressing his approval.
If Hongxia's musical career is hindered in the future, he would be happy to have her come to his house as a professional maid if she is interested.
As for why Ijichi Hoshika was able to immediately produce a maid outfit that perfectly fit Ijichi Nijika's body size after she and Yamada Ryo expressed their desire to work part-time here, he won't comment on that.
"Hi, here's your fruit tea and coffee jelly. Please take them."
"Here is your coffee and two tiramisu, for a total of 2500 yen."
"Hello, what would you like to order...?"
"..."
In the gaps between the remaining tickets for Ijichi Nijika, Sakurakoji Sai could only handle the orders from customers, collect payments, and skillfully pack goods at the same time.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, he paused, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him through the mask.
Petite, white-furred, adorable, heterochromatic eyes... Whose Persian cat has gone missing?

Although somewhat surprised by the other person's sudden appearance, after a brief pause, he continued to smile and ask:
"Hello, what would you like?"
"Two matcha parfaits! And for drinks... Earl Grey tea!"
"Okay, two matcha parfaits and one black tea, that'll be 2900 yen in total."
"Well!"
Upon hearing the price, the silver-haired kitten trembled, a hint of heartache appearing on its face.
Including the entrance fee, she spent over four thousand yen in such a short time. At this rate, her allowance might not last long.
However, desire ultimately prevailed over reason. After a brief period of emotional distress, she took out two banknotes and a few coins from her pocket.
"Okay, I received it. Are you alone?"
"Yes."
After Sakurakoji asked her question, the girl with heterochromia nodded.
"I'll save the second matcha parfait for you. After you finish the first one, come back to the bar and I'll prepare it for you."
"Here is your food, please be careful."
After he finished speaking, he placed a steaming hot drink and a green dessert garnished with various fruits and cream in front of the girl.
"Ah."
The girl's eyes were fixed on the exquisitely presented finished product in front of her: the surface was smooth without a single bubble, the fruit garnish was perfectly natural and even gave it a touch of beauty, and the matcha color was bright and without any sediment... In her experience, it was definitely a top-quality product!
Satisfied, she took her two cups of the finest beverage and left without looking back.
Watching her departing figure, Sakurakoji smiled confidently, gave a soft hum, and said, "She ate my food, so she's mine now."
He was confident that his cooking skills were no worse than those of the people who drugged and ripped off clothes.
Once a true foodie tries it, they'll basically become a regular NPC. Although the finished products made in Starry Sky are limited by materials, they'll be just so-so, but that should be enough.
Not long after, Ijichi Nijika also sold out of tickets and came over to help.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Talent! I'm here to help!"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to handle the cashier's payment?"
"give it to me!"
With her joining, the team moved forward even faster, and soon the sale of food was over, leaving only the drinks to be served.
"Phew, it's finally over!"
Ichi Nijika wiped the tiny beads of sweat from her forehead, her triangular ahoge swaying gently as she let out a long sigh.
Sakurakoji handed her a cup of slightly cooled black tea, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you!"
Ichiji Nijika happily accepted the tea, took two big gulps, and inhaled the tea as it flowed down her smooth throat. Then she put her hands on her hips and let out a joyful shout.
"Ha! He's alive!"
"You old hag."
Seeing her outdated and exaggerated expression, as if she had just finished bathing and drinking milk at a public bathhouse, Sakurakoji Sai couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
This joke is so old, nobody uses it anymore.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Caihua is really amazing. He can handle so many guests in such a short time with ease."
"If you're not physically fit, you can't play an instrument."
While cleaning the countertops and machines in the kitchen, Sakurakoji offered an explanation that wasn't really an explanation.
"Ah! I'll help you too!"
Seeing him continue working busily, Ichiji Nijika hurriedly stepped forward to join the fray.
"However, it's true that playing musical instruments requires a lot of physical strength, especially the drums!"
“Every time I finish playing my best, my body feels like it’s going to fall apart, and my muscles ache the next day.”
"Should I increase my exercise?"
"That depends on you. If you have higher aspirations, it would be better to train." After finishing the basic cleaning, Sakura Koji leaned against the bar and did some simple tidying up.
Next, we'll wait until it's all over before another major cleanup.
A short while later, Yamada Ryo also arrived.
"Don't you have any drinks?"
Upon arriving here, she cast an expectant glance at Sakurakoji Saiki.
She had just been cleaning and tidying up in the lobby, and now that the show had started, she had returned to the bar.
"Do it yourself, do it yourself."
"Hey, they definitely prepared something for Hongxia just now!"
"...Are you even working properly?"
"Without a doubt."
Yamada Ryo stood tall with his head held high, a confident smile on his face, clearly satisfied with his efforts.
"There's really nothing I can do against you."
Sakurakoji Saito looked somewhat helpless and had no choice but to get her a cup as well.
"This is it! The sweet aftertaste of hard work is truly irresistible!" Yamada Ryo made the same gesture and expression as Nijika, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
After chatting with her for a few minutes, a small patch of silvery white suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Following the direction, he saw that the kitten from before had returned to this spot.
"Finished?"
"Ok!"
"Want a second one now?"
"Ok!"
"how is the taste?"
"Very good!"
He asked a question, and she answered it, remaining remarkably concise throughout. When asked about the taste, she surprisingly showed a cheerful expression, dramatically opening her hands to describe it.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Woo!"
Seeing that there was still a little matcha residue on the corner of her mouth, Sakurakoji took out a clean white tissue and wiped it off for her.
Suddenly attacked, the girl with heterochromia involuntarily wrinkled her adorable face and closed her eyes. Only after he removed them did she realize what had happened, and a slight blush rose to her cheeks.
"Thank you."
You're welcome. What do you think of the atmosphere at the performance?
"It's an interesting place, although not as nice as my grandma's."
The girl glanced at the bustling stage at the back and gave her evaluation.
"Your grandma also owns a livehouse?"
"Yes! But the original one closed down, and now two other ones have opened."
At this point, her expression turned somewhat disappointed, suggesting there was something she was hiding.
Sakurakoji didn't press further, but simply pushed another prepared dessert in front of her.
"Here, this is your other portion. But it's best not to eat too much in one day, or you might get a stomachache."
"Did you do this?"
"Well, I did it."
"Your matcha parfait is delicious, I will come again."
After saying that, she quickly left and returned to the stands below, leaving only her back view.
Faced with this impulsive and somewhat self-willed little girl, Sakurakoji Saito looked helpless and shook his head.
Turning around to continue chatting with Yamada Ryo and the others about gossip, he found the two of them staring at him with strange expressions.
"……What's wrong?"
"Mr. Talent, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"
We misjudged you!
The two looked heartbroken, clutching their foreheads and clutching their hearts, as if they had suffered a major blow and were unwilling to accept it.
"What are you talking about?" Sakurakoji Sai asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Pretending won't work, we've all seen it!" Yamada Ryo said with absolute certainty.
“Mr. Caihua, don’t be shy. I think there are quite a few people like that nowadays.” Ijiji Nijika blushed, played with her hair, and said shyly.
"Although we don't understand, we respect it."
"So, what exactly did you all see?"
Sakurakoji Sai was utterly speechless. How could the two of them suddenly be like this in the blink of an eye?
Yamada Ryo stepped forward, placed his hand on his back, and gave a wicked smile: "Actually, you're a lolicon, aren't you?"
"Huh? What?!" Sakurakoji Sai was shocked by her statement.
"If you want us to help keep this a secret... you know what I mean, right?" Yamada Ryo made a coin gesture.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to see that!" Ichiji Nijika bowed deeply and apologized.
Sakurakoji slapped his forehead, feeling dizzy and utterly hopeless: "How did you guys come to this conclusion?"
"Because... Mr. Caihua, you seemed very close to that child just now."
"The two had a very pleasant conversation."
