Megami no Cafe Terrace - Episode 12 [END] - Shiragiku Overhears in Bath

Shiragiku heard Akane tell Riho about falling in love with Hayato. These girls have excellent ears!

A new season means new menu items for the Familia Café Terrace. The girls aren’t impressed. Ouka can’t stop calling him “baka.” Uh oh. Akane said she liked Hayato! Oh, that part that is always serious about the café. Riho and Shiragiku picked up on those harem points. Oho. Shiragiku overheard Akane tell Riho about her feelings for Hayato at the public bathhouse. Goddess Café Terrace has no concept of privacy.

Oh, man. I see those alcoholic wet wipes on the kitchen counter. Drunk Shiragiku, incoming! Gong! Shiragiku will have to move out of the share house eventually! That’s news to her! Shiragiku twists Hayato around her little finger with her weapons-grade pout. Quick aside to Akane’s bandmates learning about her crush. They don’t approve of Hayato’s wishy-washiness, and neither do I! Shiragiku is cooking up more than a sweet potato tart in the kitchen with Hayato. The mood calls for nostalgia and reminiscing. Hoho! Shiragiku asked about summer romance! Wow. Shiragiku made her move! But... she said she couldn’t go out with him because it would make him sad one day. Goddess Café Terrace melodrama! Shiragiku fell in love with him first. It’s not fair!

Is she drunk again? Yes! Those stupid wet wipes again! Oh, Akane. You’ll have to hit Hayato up with late-night coffee again. Really now. Wagashiya Lady and Fishmonger said Grandma had taught them how to make their specific gourmet dishes for the cherry blossom festival. Because even simple dishes from a Michelin Three-Star chef can be haute cuisine. More melodrama. That chef business was supposed to be a secret kept from Hayato! He has suspicions now.

Flashback and origin story! Grandma was a Michelin-rated chef in Spain and mentored Shiragiku’s dad. Hayato hadn’t changed much since then. What a terror. But he saved Shiragiku from that even worse jerk Fuwa. The locals called him “that former ambassador.” Perhaps a fall from grace amid a scandal is the source of his temper in Goddess Café Terrace. Shiragiku’s father noticed that Grandma chose a menu that hid her gourmet skills. She didn’t want Hayato to know she had given up a glamorous life in Europe for him. Shiragiku couldn’t remind him how they knew each other because it would have meant breaking Grandma’s trust. Well. That’s over.

Hayato thought Grandma had given up her dreams when she started to raise him, but Shiragiku told him it wasn’t true. She made a new dream — to torment his future wife! Such a touching scene to be ruined by eavesdropping and sobbing women. So which one did Grandma bother the most? The flash-forward and his mouthy daughter say it’s one of the goddesses! She takes after him in attitude but not aptitude. Hints. She talks like Ami...

Picnic time for the epilogue. Shiragiku officially declared war on Hayato’s heart. I see a guitar for Akane, Ami’s rubber ducky, a broken laptop for Ami, and Shiragiku’s sandwich. Where are Riho and Ouka’s symbols? Uh oh. Shiragiku drank Riho’s wine. That’s not the end. The story continues next year!
