Setting: Restaurant
(Y/N enters Siebold's restaurant early in the morning. Outside the door, there was a sign reading 'Closed for a private event today'.
She finds Siebold sleeping against a table. She gazes into Siebold's sleeping face, fascinated by the sight.
Siebold's body seemed to be trembling in the cool of the morning, so she finds a blanket and lay it over his back.
She places his old apron, with its tear mended, neatly folded on the table right in front of him.
Sitting right next to him, she realizes how cold she was as well, so she adjusts the blanket to make it cover the both of them.
Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she falls asleep at the table together with Siebold.
Hours passed with Y/N leaning against Siebold's body.)
Siebold: ...
(Siebold slowly rouse from his sleep and notices Y/N laying against him, and immediately blushed.)
Siebold: ...?! Young lady... what are you doing here?
(Y/N, still drowsy, opened her eyes and gazed at Siebold.)
[Choice selection]
⁃ I was worried about you
⁃ I came to look for you
Siebold: ...Hearing you say that makes me feel at bliss. Oh dear... it looks like I had fallen asleep here last night while busy preparing for tonight's dinner party.
Did you bring this blanket here? My deepest gratitudes. I would have caught a cold if not for your kindness.
I know I told you I'd start preparations today, but I was so anxious about the party that I decided to stay behind in the restaurant to start preparations right away.
[Choice selection]
⁃ You've worked hard, Siebold
⁃ I admire your hard work, Siebold
Siebold: ...I... I feel so happy to hear that from you. Oh dear... my cheeks are heating up right now.
It appears to be still early. Shall we remain like this for a little longer?
(Y/N nodded, and Siebold wraps an arm around Y/N's back and returns to his resting posture on the table.)
(Much later, the sunlight begins shining through the window, casting its light on the couple, and the sound of Starlies can be heard chirping in the morning.
Siebold moves his hand to place it on Y/N's head, giving it a gentle pat.)
Siebold: Y/N... are you awake? It's time to get up.
[Choice selection]
⁃ I'm still sleepy...
Siebold: Young Miss! You mustn't let the day go to waste! We have a party to prepare for tonight!
⁃ Yes, I'm awake!
Siebold: I am glad to see that. Well then, shall we get preparing for tonight's party?
Siebold: Y/N, I will start marinating the seafood and preparing the stock for our soup later. Would you help to set up the decorations?
We have some banners, curtains and balloons in the storeroom. Please use them as you wish, or anything else you might find useful in there.
Got it? ...Excellent.
(Y/N and Siebold spent the morning and afternoon on their respective preparations for the diner party.)
(Soon, evening came, and Siebold's staff began coming in one by one.)
Waiter 1: Wow, Chef Siebold... did you put up all of these decorations for us?
Siebold: No, the pleasure goes to Miss Y/N. She has a better eye for such matters than I do.
Waiter 2: Something smells great in here... Woah! Look at this spread of food! Head Chef, did you cook up all of these for us?
Waiter 3: No way! Chef Siebold did all that for our sake?
Siebold: Yes, gentlemen. I wish to express my gratitude to you for your hard work at my restaurant every day, so let us eat, drink, and make merry tonight.
Waiter 1: Head Chef! I... I can't believe you did all of this for us! Thank you so much!
(Y/N suddenly gave Siebold a nudge and a knowing wink. Siebold looked a little hesitant, but spoke after a short pause.)
Siebold: Hey, no worries about it. Let's just have fun tonight, okay?
Waiter 1: Wh-what?! Head Chef, are you feeling alright? Your tone changed all of a sudden!
Waiter 2: Hey, chill. Isn't it for the better? He's been speaking stiffly to us all this while, so give him a break, okay?
Siebold: Yeah, that's right. Come on and take a seat already.
(The waiters took a seat around the tables happily, and Siebold glanced in Y/N's direction.)
Siebold: Miss Y/N, over here, please. Your seat is right next to mine.
[Choice selection]
⁃Thank you!
⁃Alright!
Siebold: Y/N, do you remember the time I promised you I'd make you some bouillabaisse one day?
Hey, would you lift the lid on the bowl right in front of you, please?
(Y/N lifted the lid, and immediately, an extremely pleasant aroma came wafting out of the bowl, as she was greeted by the sight of various seafood floating in a delicious-looking tomato stew.)
[Choice selection]
⁃My stomach's rumbling!
⁃This looks delicious!
Siebold: Thank you, miss. I put all of my heart into making this for you. I hope I have enabled you to enjoy a taste of my region's specialities through my dish.
Come, let me pour you some wine along with that. Oh, and some for my employees, too.
Miss Y/N, let us have a toast to our continued success.
(Everyone ate and drank merrily, while some classical music plays in the background.
Eventually, as the night grew late, it was time for everyone to clean up and return home.
After the last waiter has bidden Siebold farewell, Siebold turned to Y/N.)
Siebold: Miss, I deeply appreciate your help today. I also wish to thank you once again for mending my apron for me.
It is dangerous for a lady to walk home by herself this late at night. May I have the honor of escorting you back?
[Choice selection]
⁃ Of course!
⁃ Definitely!
Siebold: Thank you, miss. Come on, let us make our move.
Setting: Pokémon Center
Siebold: We have made it here safely. Pasio is a safe region, but we mustn't take its safety for granted. Good night, Y/N. I hope to see you again soon.
(Having said that, Siebold gave a little bow and leaves.)
