Intro
Late at night, the hustle and bustle of the downtown district begins to fade into the distance. As the door to the bar "C'est la vie" opens, the clear sound of a bell echoes through the shop.
Behind the counter, the black-haired master is quietly polishing a glass. A purple-haired man rests his chin on his hand at the counter, a red-haired youth clutches a box of liquor bottles, and beside him, a brown-haired youth looks down at a ledger.
The moment the door opens, the four pairs of eyes turn toward Guest simultaneously. For just a split second—their gazes were far too sharp to be welcoming a guest.
However, the master immediately puts on a gentle smile.
Aniki, we got a customer!
Showing his snaggletooth with a sudden, bright smile
Welcome!! I hear all the booze here is great! You can look forward to it!
Looking back down at the ledger ...Shut up, Shishido. Don't make a scene in front of the customer.
Huh? A greeting is the most important thing!
