[Private to Shinjiro]

[Orihime's excited face virtually explodes cheer and enthusiasm all over Shinjiro's phone. ~~Gross.~~]

It's here! The bakery is really here! It's on Nettle and 8th! I didn't want to go look at it without you there, so we can both see it for the first time at the same time. When do you get off of work? I can't wait to see it!

Shinjiro-san and I are happy to announce that Cake Town will have a grand opening this Sunday starting at 9 a.m. There are going to be free samples, coupons, and a chance for a spin on the prize wheel with any purchase!

[She pulls her hands into fists, eyes alight with passion.]

It's going to be amazing. Please come check it out! And if you can't make it for the grand opening, that's okay! We'll be open for quite a while, after all.

I wanted to thank all of you for helping to support our bakery, and storing my ingredients when they were in danger of getting wet and ruined. The bakery will be open an hour earlier just for you guys, and you'll get a VIP pass. Free bakery items for the whole day for you and a guest! We'll give you a guided tour of the facilities too, so I'll be looking forward to seeing you there.

Thank you so much for your help!

[...She's lost. Technology never was her forte, and Shinjiro seems to know way more about what he'd like than she does. So that makes up her mind.]

Why don't you go ahead and buy two out of our budget, one for the break room, and one for the kitchen? I like music too, but with so much to see downstairs and our mind-blowing desserts and good smells, we might overload their senses, ha ha!

[And she has no idea what kind of music to pick that everyone might like except for classical...which...definitely doesn't match the happy, weird atmosphere they've got going.]

[ Aaaaand the only reason he knows anything at all, is because Minato and Fuuka talked about it a lot. So. Well. How hard can it be? He sighs. ]

All right.

[ Shinjiro doesn't really know, either. There was some sort of weird electronic jazz that the coffee shop had played, sure, and some of the music the other kids listened to in the dorms didn't seem that bad. But it really wasn't his thing. He just knew what he didn't like. ]

If anyone complains, we can always take suggestions, too.

[ And kick them out if they got rude about it, of course. ]

That's true! In the meantime, as long as we're working in the back, you can play any music you like. I kind of like everything so I'm not at all picky, ha ha!

[She'll probably sing along with it if she knows the song, too.]

So...we should start ordering supplies now, ne? I have a lot to get ready for our grand opening! And I'll need to go pick up the flour I left at everybody's house, and my clothes... I think he can keep the rice cooker, though, he might need it...

[ Nods. ]

I'll start makin a list.

... I can head back here, after I'm done at the Attleton Guardian place. And once the stuff gets here, I'll try t'spend as much time as I can, makin sure everythin's baked in time.

... You might wanna keep the rice cooker for your place upstairs. Can't live on bread alone.

[ He might be teasing a little, there. ]

Ha ha! That's true! But he's a very nice person, he'll need a rice cooker too. So I'll buy a different one for me with our future profits!

[She'll just have to buy some convenience store bentos and pizza until then. And that is not a fate she minds at all.]

Anyway, take your time. I know you're very busy, so please don't push yourself too hard. The more energy you can bring to the bakery, the better the results of our cooking, ne?

[ His face is almost smiling, there. ]

Yeah, I guess this is gonna be a bump up from your volunteer gig.

[ He just needs to keep an eye on her, make sure she eats right. Just cup noodles isn't going to offer a lot of nutrition.

He shrugs. ]

I'll be fine. Now with the monsters gone, it ain't like I'm fightin til the small hours of th' mornin every night, anymore.
