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:

[1] This is a reference to Kamen Rider W’s song Nobody’s Perfect which was a song insert for Kamen Rider Skull and Hidari Shotaro’s mentor— also Lance's homage.
