Story Script
The Winterwish Festival is quickly approaching, and the newly-released themed collection is extremely popular.
As another busy day comes to a close, you all sit down to discuss your next steps as usual.
You: Well... I tallied the Wishful Series sales over the past few days. There was a lot of momentum at the beginning...
You: But sales have slowed down.
Artem: It seems like the first wave of the campaign went pretty well, so it's time to start our official Winterwish Festival promotion.
Artem: [Player], do you already have an idea?
After sharing his short analysis, Artem turns to speak to you.
You: Yeah... I have a rough idea with two main aspects.
You: Food and drinks are the most important thing for a café, and we've already introduced our Wishful Series.
You: I was thinking we should follow that line of thinking and launch a new collection. Maybe it could be called the "Miracle Collection."
Luke: The Miracle Collection? Sounds great. After all, Winterwish is the "Day of Miracles."
After hearing what you have to say, Luke thinks for a moment.
Luke: How about a "Miraculous Milk Tea" with boba? It could have a richer flavor, making it a fitting response to the "Miracle" concept.
Luke: All right, you guys talk. I'll try it out!
Luke, who is always ready to take action, suddenly has his interest piqued and immediately begins experimenting.
Artem: The Wishful Combo focused on a simple omurice dish. We should feature Western food this time to set the Miracle Collection apart.
Artem: How about steak? We could include some vegetables to offset the greasiness. The flavor will be really rich.
Artem: What do you guys think?
You: I think that's a great idea!
You all look at one another to make sure you are all on the same page.
Marius: I think we should try it for dinner tonight.
Vyn: I second that.
Artem smiles and nods, agreeing with your suggestions.
Vyn: In that case, I could make a Mille-Feuille cake with raspberries and chocolate sauce. The sweet and sour flavor will be delicious.
As soon as Vyn finishes speaking, Luke happens to walk over with a few cups of fresh milk tea.
Luke: Vyn, why don't we do a "Miracle Afternoon Tea," just like the Wishful Afternoon Tea?
Vyn: Good thinking. Combining milk tea and Mille-Feuille cake is an interesting idea.
Marius: Following the same idea as before, I'll serve a new parfait. I've made too much Wishful Rolled Ice Cream recently — it'll be good to change it up.
Marius: [Player], you mentioned that there were two aspects to your idea. One is food, so what's the other?
You: I was thinking, since it's called Wishful Café, why don't we create another wish-themed promotion?
You: We can specially prepare a blank wall and call it the "Wall of Wishes."
You: Customers who write their wishes on the Wall of Wishes will receive a voucher for a free dessert on the day of the Winterwish Festival.
You: That way, we can give something small back to our customers, and it's also a good marketing strategy.
Luke: Not bad at all. I think it would get a great response.
Vyn: Yes, a ceremonial activity like that could bring a lot of collective happiness during the Winterwish Festival.
Artem: But being a waitress won't be easy for a promotion like that, [Player]...
You: It's all right, Mr. Wing. After all the practice I've had recently, I don't think I'll have any problems.
Artem: All right, I trust you. If you need help, don't push yourself. Just let me know.
You: Don't worry. I'll let you know.
As your discussion is coming to a close, the door is pushed open and two people walk in.
One of them could be called an "old friend."
Artem: Ingrid Rosworth?
Ingrid Rosworth: Oh, my. Mr. Wing, is that how you welcome a customer?
Artem: Unfortunately, we're already closed and aren't currently serving customers.
Ingrid Rosworth: Not so fast — I happen to have a big order. Go ahead, Ms. Gibson.
The young girl standing beside Ingrid silently suddenly steps forward.
Gibson: Hello, I'm Ms. Rosworth's secretary. Please call me Ms. Gibson. Here's my card.
You take the business card, even more confused.
Gibson: Seeing as the Winterwish Festival is fast approaching, we at Baldr Legal Office want to hold an afternoon tea for our employees.
Gibson: After considering several establishments, we believe your café best fits our expectations in terms of cuisine and cost.
Ingrid Rosworth: What a coincidence, right? Ms. Gibson told me about this place, and since we all know each other...
Ingrid Rosworth: I naturally had to come in person to place an order. That way, I can congratulate you all as well.
There is a ruthless edge hidden within Ingrid's gentle words, but it's not as if you can turn away a customer.
You: Thank you for your support, Ms. Rosworth.
You turn to the girl who is still cowering slightly, then grab the café order book.
You: Ms. Gibson, can you tell me what you're looking for in detail?
As you confirm the details of the order with Ms. Gibson, Ingrid stands by silently.
It isn't until she leaves that she casually makes a comment.
Ingrid Rosworth: At times like this, I really envy Themis. The employees even have time to do stuff like this.
Ingrid Rosworth: Not at Baldr. We don't have any time off during Winterwish Festival — in fact, we even have to work overtime.
Vyn: Really? Perhaps you should consider improving your efficiency. Procrastination is a bad habit.
Ingrid Rosworth: ...
Vyn skillfully deflects Ingrid's backhanded compliment. She snorts coldly, then leaves angrily with her secretary.
Everyone else moves to your side, glancing at the payment you are holding for the order.
Luke: Vyn, I feel like you were a little "direct" just now...
Marius: I have to admit, Ingrid clearly wanted to mess with us, but I'm pretty happy with the result...
Vyn: We still do not know what the final mysterious surprise is.
You: Dr. Richter, you're thinking that far ahead?
Vyn: It is only an educated guess... Confidence is good for morale too, after all.
Artem: Even with Ingrid's "help," we can't get complacent. After all, winning is secondary to our main goal — fundraising.
Marius: Hey, Artem! If you want to encourage everyone, at least wait until we're done celebrating first!
...
The night outside the window is growing darker, but the neon lights can't conceal the bright stars dotting the sky.
