(Meanwhile)
Pai, Taruto, and Kisshu appeared at the café. Shirogane-san had told them to come early. They had all slept in the hotel the night before and were all well rested. It was uncomfortable to walk around with their ears pulled in like a human's, but not impossible. Night was the only time they could be their true selves, that and when there weren't any humans around.
"Ohayo!" Akasaka-san called as they appeared in the dining room. "I heard Ryou wanted you to help with the fundraiser."
"Fund…raiser?" Kisshu looked at Keiichero suspiciously.
"It's where we raise money to run the café. Here are your uniforms." He motioned to boxes behind him.
"Uniforms!" Kisshu exclaimed. "What? We don't work here!"
"I'm sorry, you'll have to take that up with Ryou. He's the one that called you, you know. The girls should be here soon." Keiichero dismissed himself, leaving to go tidy up the café.
Pai descended to the floor.
"You're not seriously considering this are you?" Kisshu looked at him scornfully.
"Ichigo dresses up in a girl's version of the outfit and you don't seem to mind." Pai replied swiftly.
"You don't seem to mind when Lettuce-san does either." Kisshu retorted. Taruto just shook his head.
Pai cautiously opened his box to reveal a black tuxedo. He looked at it disdainfully. "Well, if it helps us blend in…" He muttered.
"Mine looks the same!" Taruto complained, holding it up. "So does Kisshu's!"
"I thought you said you'd do anything to blend in or help, Taruto." Pai restated his earlier words.
"Stupid humans…" Taruto began. "Already taking away from our hearing and now we're in these… Things!"
Kisshu rolled his eyes. "I don't think I'll be sticking around here. I'm going back to the hotel." He started to fly off.
"Fine, then don't stay to see Ichigo." Pai said simply. Kisshu sighed and looked down at Pai.
"You better be glad I care about her, otherwise I wouldn't deal with this."
Pai smirked. "That's what I was counting on."
