Megami no Cafe Terrace - Episode 7 - Akane Soaks in Tub

Akane put on a friendly face for her roommates, but her expression was poignant when alone.

The rainy season on Goddess Café Terrace. I sense gray moods to match the weather for this episode! Huh? Akane hands out compliments like candy. That’s so out of the ordinary that the other girls notice it. Hoho. Ami’s boobs are still sensitive after Hayato’s rough treatment. Do it gently, Hayato. Gently. What a weird mood Akane is in. She’s ready to accept Ami’s rubber ducky! The other girls remark they’ve lived together for a year now. Pay attention to that marker.

Nice. Hayato takes a Coffee Master’s duties seriously. Customers’ tastes for coffee change throughout the year, so he needs to predict the proper blend and brew. But can he do that for an individual’s taste yet? Ha! Called out! Hayato noticed one individual’s mood: Akane acted like she’ll say goodbye to the Familia Café Terrace soon. Instead of arguing, Akane confirmed Hayato’s hunch and offered a free squeeze in gratitude. The baited one did not take the bait! Blush harder, Akane. Oh, but Hayato did ask for a date! Is this Akane’s big chance? Ack, melodrama! Ouka’s bangs eavesdropped on the conversation.

Still raining. The other goddesses of Goddess Café Terrace can’t believe Hayato and Akane would go on a date in such abysmal weather. Har. They think Hayato is such a grass eater that Akane must have been the aggressor. Ami isn’t sure about that after his less-than-gentle squeezing. Terrible. Akane does not approve of this “date.” Hahaha. She’s so flustered when Hayato offers to do date-style afterward. Ah. Grandma shared the Bar Master’s trick to detect a customer’s mood for flavor.

Ah, finally. Akane explained she had a gap year from her family duties of an arranged marriage and taking over the family business. Hayato and the other girls can’t stand it. Don’t call them “pretend family,” Akane! Tell them what you want! Of course, Akane wants to stay but needs Hayato’s help to tell her mother.

Reputable family? A Rolls Royce in Japan is levels above a black Mercedes Benz. Mother Hououji has plain eyes as if she doesn’t need to focus on insignificant details. Oho. Both Mother and Hayato, despite their differences, would like Akane to use precise language to express her desires directly. Whoa. Mother Hououji started paying attention to Hayato. Akane didn’t take to making green tea but expertly handled brewing filtered coffee grounds. And bathos. All that emotional buildup brings us to Kunoichi Ami giving her report. At least Goddess Café Terrace foreshadows ridiculous conclusions to emotional scenes.

All this time, Mother Hououji just needed an extra jolt of caffeine to open her eyes. Beautiful. Uh oh! Mother Hououji knows Hayato’s name! Was he the arranged marriage candidate? Or is there something deeper between the Kasukabe and Hououji families? Welp. Forget all that serious stuff. Ami’s circus needs to perform! Mother Hououji says she’ll refuse the arranged marriage offer, but who was it from? Does she think it’s a mere formality now? Do your best, Akane! You have competition.

Next time, it’s the Beach Hut episode. Oh yeah!
