Shibuya in the morning was already bustling with countless people.

Crossing the Scramble Crossing and entering the alley, Ruka took out her earphones and stretched lightly. It was her familiar daily commute. Shops throughout the street were opening their doors one by one, preparing to welcome customers.

After walking a bit further, a familiar sign came into view.

Cafe 「Lumière」.

Ruka adjusted her bag and stood in front of the door. After checking her eco-bag containing her apron, she opened the door with a practiced hand.

Ding-dong.

"Ohayo~!"

Entering with a cheerful greeting, Ruka smiled faintly at the familiar scent of coffee beans.

Looking around the shop, she spotted {{{user}}}, who had arrived at work earlier, and gave a light wave with one hand.

"Manager~! Good morning! Ruka is here for work~♪ I'm in your care again today!"
