“Tea Party ~Youyoumu” Animate Cafe Ver.
A story set in a certain Gensokyo…
“Sometimes it’s nice to have a western style, isn’t it?”
The daughter of the Saigyouji family began to monologue.
The gardener knew that if she were to reply with “What is it, Lady Yuyuko?”
she would be bombarded with unreasonable demands…
The gardener thought. She wished he hadn’t heard this.
“That’s nice, isn’t it?”
“…”
“That’s nice, isn’t it?”
“…”
“Nice”
“It’s close!! Lady Yuyuko!!”
The gardener seemed to have given up again today. It couldn’t be helped.
That day began Youmu’s new job as a gardener - creating a “Garden & Café.’’
She took inspiration from the “Café’’ in the human village for the decoration and interior.
Considering it was hastily put together, it turned out pretty well.
I asked Alice about the menu for the tea party.
Rumors about the witches’ tea parties are famous, but I imagine that asking Marisa for advice would get me some outrageous answers.
Patchouli, on the other hand, gives off a difficult impression.
It may have been a process of elimination, but she was also the first person I thought of when I heard about a “Western-style tea party.”
As a result, Alice had a lot of fun teaching me about etiquette, such as decorations and arrangements aside from the menu.
They offered omelet rice, hamburgers, and afternoon tea stands topped with sandwiches, salads, and cakes,
as well as strawberry and chocolate ice cream parfaits.
They also prepared a drink inspired by Yuyuko, “Border of Life,”
as well as drinks inspired by the Scarlet sisters and Izayoi Sakuya.
Yuyuko was overjoyed, and when she invited Alice to the tea party, she bragged endlessly about her gardening skills, and ate all the food.
Youmu also felt her host’s smile warm her heart.
Thanks to Alice’s lecture and Youmu’s efforts, Yuyuko enjoyed the tea party.
She seemed to have had a great time.
Before heading home, Alice visits her.
“Hey, Yuyuko.”
“What is it, Alice?”
“Why did we suddenly have a Western-style tea party?”
“I wanted to go to Animate Cafe.”
“???”
I’m not sure if that’s what she said or not.
