Megami no Cafe Terrace - Episode 6 - Riho vs Shiragiku

Riho and Shiragiku converted making different sandwiches into a contest for Hayato’s heart. Who will win?

Uh oh. What are Shiragiku and Hayato doing behind closed doors? It sounds kinky to Riho’s ears! Note to self: Riho has a dirty mind! That’s not the dirty kind she expected: it’s a messy sandwich. I’m sure a metaphor is in Goddess Café Terrace, somewhere, about thick tomato slices and mayonnaise splashed everywhere. Welcome to Hayato’s first FFM hentai tag because Riho insisted on “teaching how to cook” with Shiragiku. Hahaha! Riho sees the close mood between Shiragiku and Hayato and feels the need to break that up! Disarmed by headpats! Ha! Shiragiku also wants headpats but should first do something to get one as a reward. Quick aside: Ami is desperate to create a Hadouken. I’ll file that away for later, but back to Riho’s slowly building jealous rage.

Sandwich building contest, start! Riho channels her envy into marketing motivation. How about a new, trendy, flashy model instead of the old-fashioned sandwich that Grandma used to make? Catfight through a sandwich fight! Another aside: Akane suggests mustache-related themes for a new band name. Ah. The reason for Akane’s aside, as with Ami’s Street Fighter frivolity, is to introduce plot development while Riho and Shiragiku are in the kitchen. We see a foundation for Akane’s character development when she avoids a specific phone call. And we still don’t know what Akane’s official band name is in Goddess Café Terrace, but let’s get back to the threesome in the kitchen. Riho’s new sandwich has fancy deli meats, but it doesn’t matter because Hayato can’t sample it. He’s full of eating all his sandwich failures! Stalemate for the sandwich contest. Ha! Hayato took the indecisive harem king route, which should create later headaches. Ami likes all the sandwiches!

Suddenly, the genki Ami stares listlessly into the sky. What happened? She’s paying attention to her chores and not jumping around everywhere. That’s not normal because it’s weird for Ami to act normally! Uh oh. I have a feeling: Hayato’s new “not-VAIO” laptop is not long for this world. Hoh. Neither does Ouka! Oh. Akane knows what happened to Ami: the genki girl recently lost a karate match. Oh my. The Shounen coming-of-age themes are so strong you know the reason Ami lost will be ridiculous. Ah. Ahahaha! Ami tried to use a Hadouken against an opponent! Hahaha! She knows better now that she’ll stick to a Shoryuken and practice that Tatsumaki Senpukyaku! Ack. There goes Hayato’s new laptop. Oof. He’s so mad he took Ami’s offer to feel her up! Oh no! There goes his new phone too! Shiragiku can’t sit still when indecent behavior is afoot! Ami took some steps up the stairs to adulthood today.

Nice lack of transition, Goddess Café Terrace. The café is busy, and the girls are preoccupied. Shouldn’t family help when someone needs it? Riho, Ouka, and Akane are at home but unavailable to work. Why? Is Riho designing a new uniform? Why would Ouka and Akane undress in the communal area? Suspicious! Watch out for Ouka’s aim at throwing shoes at Hayato’s face. Ack. The bathos is strong here. After half an anime season of talking about family, Hayato doubts the goddesses’ feelings. I’ll expect a sentimental reason for the girls’ cold turn against Hayato. And the dude needs to stop talking to himself out loud.

I knew it! The girls hid their preparations for a surprise party! Totally fair. It’s a two-month anniversary party because everyone hated Hayato so much at the first-month mark. Riho researched Hayato’s weakness: looking at women in their underwear. Uh. How much time did that take? Indecisive grass-eater harem kings are notorious for that. Fuuuu... The girls overheard Hayato talking to himself about “strangers” and “pretend families.” Stop talking out loud to yourself, Hayato! Here we go. Akane’s backstory will come next. Clues for her issues are how her contact info for her mother calls her “okaa-sama” and how she talked politely to her over the phone. Akane is a secret ojousama!

Hey, this is the first episode without an Omake comic strip. I like those! Next time, the girls worry Hayato turned into an oppai zombie. Whose fault is that, exactly? Oh, and something poignant about Akane’s family life.
