駅前カフェの初日

That is because she wanted to work about three times a week in order to buy a new camera.

Right after the interview ended, she felt a little uneasy and wondered whether she could really do it.

But the manager kindly said, 'It's okay even if you can't do it well from the beginning.'

On the morning of her first day, before leaving home, Mika hesitates a little over whether to wear the black apron or the beige one.

However, because it seemed as if it would suit the atmosphere of the shop, she chose the black one.

When she got to the shop, it was just about to open, and the manager was just putting out the sign at the entrance.

After that, Mika began reading the names on the menu out loud, and in her spare time she kept practicing them over and over.

When it became noon, the number of customers suddenly increased, and the inside of the shop became busier than she had expected.

Mika's hands got tired from carrying too many drinks, but after her break she gradually became able to understand how to move around.

A senior taught her that, when taking orders, so that she would not panic, she should try to look at the other person's face.

In front of the register, today's recommendation was written in large letters, and the customers too seemed able to choose easily.

By the time work ended, her voice had become louder than in the morning, and she had become able to say 'Welcome' naturally.

When she sent Aya a message on the way home, Aya replied, 'Even though it's your first day, it's amazing that you can already do that much.'

Mika answered, 'I still make a lot of mistakes, but before going to sleep I'll make a point of looking at the menu one more time.'

And while she was also starting to look forward to her next day of work, she thought that she wanted to become able to move more calmly.
