So you have a friend that looks just like me!," like Hime, and she keeps Hime's act as her surname Shirasagi to protect the setting.

Hime wonders if the café's uniform is like a maid café; Kanoko becomes weird about the café when she did not mention any of this. She did not realize her, but still her surname from Liebe Girls Academy; thus she makes depressed of her, and Hime might act like a stranger. Mitsuki will leave it to attend to her and Hime and teaches her again how to hold a tray with only one hand, then Hime leaves herself. Kanoko would hesitate to her and Hime is not responding to her, and Sumika asks Kanoko would not to refer to the students from her school.

It is revealed that Kanoko is her friend of Hime and they surprised Kanoko with Liebe Girls' uniform, then Mitsuki already recognized her as a visitor. Mai introduces them to Kanoko Mamiya and it fits her, but Kanoko is a little embarrassed to try their uniform. Hime reacts to her suit and looks cute and apologizes to her again about the water, then Kanoko blushes when Hime calls her cute. Mai will consider what they talking about.

The next day, Kanoko is left in the classroom after school today. Hime thinks to explain Kanoko came to the café yesterday and she did not expect she is such a cute look. She might just leave it all to Kanoko and it is not like she could leave her alone. Hime is shocked when Mai has an interview with Kanoko. Kanoko asked Mai earlier and listened to everything without wincing; Hime will try to say her how she is feeling, then Kanoko speaks loudly with feeling.

Kanoko will start working today and always use her surname in the academy, Amamiya, instead of her real surname it is a first-year like Hime; that is about for the café's setting. Mai forces Hime should thank her. There is some a lot of work and Kanoko will be able to help Hime. Hime thought she was the one being blackmailed, then Mai will call them for their senpai. Kanoko thinks Hime puts up her façade and Hime still aims to be someone that others will always choose. She knows at her the setting about the close pair called Schwestern and was immediately chosen as one with Ayanokouji being her senpai. Hime is true that Mitsuki is pretty strict, but she is a kind of Onee-sama. Mitsuki gets angry for Mai not to make cover for everything she does and Mai would just makes another mess again. Mai wants them to get some field practice in the salon; Mai has a task for them is taking orders.

Mitsuki starts to take an order in a salon; if a customer likes something warm to drink, Mitsuki might recommend a customer orders a tea that they have Assam, Ceylon, and Earl Grey, and might recommend her the Heiße Schokolade; then a customer likes them, and Mitsuki ordered her. Mitsuki tells Hime to try it now, but Hime accidentally says her to "Onee-sama." Hime tries it to the customer, but thinking about the setting of the academy then checks the visitor's name called Yamada-sama. Then she acts to him with a dazzling performance. The next is taking orders, but Hime bit her tongue, and the customers react to them being cute. Thus Hime is tired, Mitsuki cheers her to do it and stares again.

Yamada already decided his order a Ceylon tea, then Kanoko pass the order slip to Mitsuki. Hime makes it worse again when she loses to a fellow first-year and Mitsuki thought she would be more accustomed. Sumika did great for them, and Mitsuki tells her not to spoil Amamiya. She mocks Mitsuki and Mitsuki grabs Hime for her little sister's path to growth. Hime wanders them the two start fighting, Kanoko holds Hime for it is hard to do the same over that they can avoid. She asks her would practice serving with her, Hime might turn herself into the clumsy girl character, then the customers react to them; Hime will be working hard with Kanoko, but she might make a little slip-up and get the wrong idea.

Hime will not lose and tries them to order the customers would like one Thüringer Bratwurst, Kartoffelsalat, Zeller Weiße Katze QbA, and Nachtisch after the meal; but Hime does not understand those names in German, the customers also like three glasses to make a Sachertorte, like Nachtisch. The customers saw them exchange from before, plus Hime's classmates cheering on. Hime will do her best at serving and the customers might be yelled at her when she could not ask them. The customers will take orders from Kanoko and it is hard to talk and might give a dazzling performance. Kanoko introduces herself and the customers react to her. Mitsuki asks Hime did take the orders already, then Hime gives the order slip to her, and Mitsuki comes to the kitchen for a bit with Hime.

Mitsuki picks the new one and will let copy it to the new order slip; Hime barely wrote that and Mitsuki will rewrite one and also listed their orders. Hime explains she would make a mistake, and Mitsuki said does not want to cover her failures and Hime thanks her for helping. Kanoko opens the door and stares at them, then asks Hime did have any problem with the previous order, and what are they doing. Kanoko needs her to be able to do a bit better and will not end up bothering her senpai. Hime already helped Mitsuki because it is kind and Mitsuki just helped her because it is her little sister and will not misunderstand Hime. Kanoko will try can do her job without relying upon Mitsuki and Mitsuki is not her fault for Hime because she could not take an order by herself; they force to act her together, then Hime panics with them.
