3★ Lance Tendo - D&N Part 4 [YELLOW ATTRIBUTE]
Part 4 has two episodes. The ending of this episode will be different from Part 4 (Green Attribute)
Lance: The number of customers just keeps increasing. I thought things would be settling down by now...
Shizuru: ….Hm?
I saw on social media that an influencer passed by. They posted a photo with a caption about how the cocktail looks amazing.
Staff: So that’s why there’s so many limited cocktails being ordered.
Female Customer A: Excuse meee! Where can I place an order?
Lance: Could you please line up along the queue on the right?
Shizuru: …Lance, you’ve really become part of the staff.
Lance: I have. But, we can’t just leave him be.
Staff: If only we had one more staff member who could make alcohol...!
Lance: Shizuru, you’ve looked bored for a while now, haven’t you?
Shizuru: I’m busy drinking alcohol, you know?
Lance: But I’m helping out just because you asked me to though…?
Shizuru: Alright, alright, I get it.
Staff: Oh, wait. You have a staff ID right? You should be able to get into the bar. I’ll check with the manager!
Shizuru: Who’d have guessed a staff ID would end up with me bartending?
Lance: Shizuru, about the order… They’re asking for a cocktail that’ll look good on social media.
They said any type will do, but... can you make it?
Shizuru: A cocktail that looks great on social media, huh? How about a Rainbow Pool?
Staff: Huh...? Can you really make something that complicated!?
Shizuru I can whip it up in no time~
Staff: That’s amazing….!
Female Customer B: Ummm, can I order an original cocktail?
Lance: Could you please ask the bartender? I’m only a cashier, so I don’t know much about cocktails.
Female Customer B: But I’d really wanted you to make it…
Lance: I don’t think I can and I don’t know anything about cocktails…
Shizuru: That’s okay, Lance. Since you’ve been requested, why not give it a shot?
Lance: I might struggle since I don’t have any experience. I’ve never even shaken a shaker before.
Shizuru: Oh, If you tell me what to include, I can make it for you. Does that work for you?
Female Customer B: Yeah! How about a cocktail inspired by the Nightpool?
Shizuru: Got it. First up, let’s pick the base. For classics, we’ve got vodka, gin, rum, or…liqueur.
Lance: Uhh… I guess I can choose based on that...
Female Customer B: Just follow your instinct!
Lance: Ermm? How about… this one?
Shizuru: Alright, vodka it is. Should we make it sweet or refreshing?
Lance: Sweet… Maybe?
Female Customer B: Hahaha, just go with it! A cocktail made from whatever you pick sounds like fun!
Lance: Alright, let’s add this liqueur…Some cream... Maybe a splash of cherry juice for color?
Shizuru: Oh…
Lance: ...Not good?
Shizuru: Here’s how it looks right now. You might wanna give it a taste before serving.
Lance: Eugh… T-this… I can’t serve this… cough!
Shizuru: Yeah, I thought so…
How about I whip up a special cocktail for you instead? Sounds good?
Female Customer B: If you’re offering…Then sure, I get it.
Shizuru: ...Here you go! This chocolate is a little special treat from me, just for you.
Female Customer B: Fwuaah~ Thank you so much!
Lance: It’s a bit embarassing, though…
Shizuru: If you can make cocktails too, I might be out of a job. But hey, I’m glad it all worked out.
Lance: ...Nobody is Perfect I guess. [1]
Translation Note:
