Ep 2. The Girl Who Loved Wheat and the Girl Loved by Azuki Beans

The episode starts with Cocoa running late and rushing to make it to work at Rabbit House café. When she finally reaches the café, she learns that Rize and Chiya had already finished cleaning and organizing everything. Cocoa feels bad about being late and decides to make tea for everyone.

On that day, two new customers come to Rabbit House Café. One girl is obsessed with wheat and only orders food and drinks with wheat in them. The other girl is crazy about azuki beans and orders everything that has azuki beans in it. Cocoa, Rize, and Chiya are baffled by their unique preferences, but they comply with the customers' choices.

Meanwhile, Chino, the granddaughter of the café owner, feels uncomfortable seeing the weird customers, but she tries her best to serve them. She starts questioning if the café can handle such a variety of customers and wonders if they are becoming too popular.

As the day goes on, the café starts to fill up with more and more customers with bizarre preferences, including one customer who only orders iced coffee with cinnamon. Chino starts to feel overwhelmed, and the other waitresses try to help her. They try to cheer her up by telling her a story about a café owner who takes pride in serving unique customers with different preferences.

Later on, Chino tries to make coffee for the cinnamon customer, but she accidentally spills it on him. Feeling embarrassed, Chino runs out of the café and sits on a bench outside. Cocoa follows her and tries to comfort her by saying that it is okay to make mistakes and that they can learn from them.

While they are outside, Cocoa and Chino see a group of schoolgirls walking by. They start talking to Cocoa and Chino and compliment them on their cute outfits. The girls then reveal that they are going to a nearby school and invite Cocoa and Chino to visit their campus. Chino hesitates at first but eventually agrees.

After the café’s closing time, Cocoa and Chino visit the school, where they meet the girls' teacher. The teacher invites them to join her class for a bit, and they witness a fun and energetic lesson on different types of beans. Cocoa and Chino fully enjoy the class and the enthusiasm of the students.

At the end of the day, Chino finally realizes that it is not about serving unique customers but about creating a welcoming atmosphere and being friendly to everyone who comes to the café. Cocoa and Chino return to Rabbit House Café, where they find that the strange customers have left and the café is closed. The waitresses all share a laugh and congratulate Chino on a job well done.

Overall, the episode showcases the daily life of a café and the challenges that come with serving a diverse clientele. It also highlights the importance of kindness and empathy in building strong relationships with customers.
