Lin Akihiko smirked at the three boys, who were still frozen in shock.
"Alright, listen up," he said, crossing his arms. "If you can increase your café's sales within a month, I'll personally teach you the tricks of the trade."
Leo, Haru, and Riku exchanged glances, their eyes shining with determination.
"HOW?!" Haru asked excitedly.
Lin chuckled. "Simple. If you can make customers buy two products instead of one every time they order, you'll see a huge difference in sales."
"T-TWO?!" Riku gasped. "But how do we make them do that?"
Renji, who had been silently observing, sipped his coffee and smirked. "Figure it out yourselves. That's part of the challenge."
Leo clenched his fists. "ALRIGHT! WE ACCEPT!"
Haru nodded excitedly. "Let's make this the most successful café ever!"
Riku, though a bit nervous, sighed and smiled. "Fine, but let's not break anything this time."
Lin stood up, adjusting his suit. "I'll check back in a month. Let's see if you're truly capable or just clumsy kittens."
With that, he left, leaving the three boys pumped with determination.
The Café Challenge had begun!
The next day, the café doors swung open, and the usual customers gasped in surprise.
"WOAH! What happened here?!" one of them exclaimed.
Leo, Haru, and Riku stood proudly in front of the counter, wearing matching themed costumes—Leo in a tiger onesie, Haru in a fluffy puppy outfit, and Riku in a sleek black cat costume.
"WELCOME TO OUR CAFÉ, MEOW-WOO-ROAR!" they shouted in unison, making the entire café burst into laughter.
Customers were instantly drawn to them. The once chaotic, clumsy trio now had an adorable charm that no one could resist.
"Look at them!" a regular customer giggled. "Now I want to buy more just to see their reactions!"
And just like that… the sales skyrocketed!
Customers started ordering extra cakes, drinks, and snacks just to watch the three boys fumble around in their cute costumes.
Even Renji, who had come in to check on them, smirked as he sipped his coffee. "Interesting… they're using their charm as a marketing strategy."
Haru, balancing a tray with two cakes, whispered to Leo, "We're actually doing it! People are buying two things at once!"
Leo grinned. "And they LOVE it! Let's keep going!"
Riku, however, sighed. "As long as we don't trip and spill anything..."
Just then— CRASH!
A tray of drinks went flying.
"OOPS! SORRY!"
Customers laughed, not annoyed at all, but instead enjoying the trio's never-ending clumsiness.
The Challenge Had Officially Begun! 🚀
