Megami no Café Terrace - Episode 17 - Shiragiku Riho Akane Steamy Behinds

Akane, Riho, and Shiragiku overheard older men praising Hayato's "whole sushi roll" on the men's side. Long!

Chiyoda Diner previews its menu for “owner” Hayato and the Familia staff. Ririka’s crew decided on Japanese cuisine so the new restaurant could avoid overlapping with Familia Café Terrace. Moemi is a Japanese chef! Plus, Ririka negotiated favorable prices from the fishmonger. “Negotiated.” Moemi comes from a famous family running a traditional restaurant. Ah. Moemi’s character note said something about Japanese hats changing her personality. But it’s specifically a Japanese chef hat that turns her into a Goddess Café Terrace Gordon Ramsay-san.

Oho. Ririka wants to set Riho up with Hayato at a hot spring inn getaway. I’m sure the harem gods will allow one girl to get ahead of the others. Not! Anime girls sure are lucky with those market district raffles. Ririka is all of us as she expresses frustration at Riho’s lack of progress. Fun. Goddess Café Terrace continues the comic strip omake from last year.

The other Familia girls left Riho alone with Hayato. Suspicious! Can she ask Hayato to go to the onsen hotel with her? Of course not! Because all the other girls won the raffle, too! Relief for Hayato. Why does that guy have less stress from more girls bothering him? That must be how harem kings operate.

Train trip! Everyone but Ami feels excited about staying at the hot springs resort. Foreshadowing! Uh oh. Harem battles begin! The Familia party for six has three rooms for two. Who rooms with Hayato? Ami (supposedly) is the safest solution. That’s true, though, because she hasn’t had a sexy, vulnerable scene with Hayato yet in Goddess Café Terrace. Ami has sexy bodily proportions but has never shown any sex appeal except for the booty shorts attempt in the first episode. I see her as a clumsy puppy. Will that change during this story arc? Riho wanted her shot at Hayato. Look at the disappointment on Akane and Riho’s faces!

Well. At least Goddess Café Terrace steams up our screens. Hoho. The girls love hearing about how big Hayato’s “pincho” is. They want to sample his “sushi roll!” Ami has been quiet this whole time, still wearing those glasses.

Tone shifts for Goddess Café Terrace always start with Hayato’s paranoid accusations that are conveniently one hundred percent correct. Ami has been wearing those funny glasses to hide her identity from the hotel workers. But they saw through her disguise. How does Ami’s family relate to the hot spring hotel? Poor Ouka. She’s the only one thoroughly enjoying herself. Riho, Akane, and Shiragiku negotiate turns to spend time with Hayato in a shared bath. Hahaha! Censored lip reading!

Here we go. Ami’s older sister finds her, but Ami’s utmost concern is if “Grandma” has improved. But Grandma hasn’t and still has memory problems. Ami has a bathos sob story of her dead parents, her only relative taking her in, and that grandmother running a foster care facility. Goddess Café Terrace beats the audience over its head to emphasize how much Hayato and Ami have in common. Ami’s foster sister confirms a Familia connection to Sachiko and the other grandmothers.

Ooh. Is it time for Ami to graduate to adulthood? Nah. She’s a little girl who wants comfort from Hayato. Ami hopes (childishly?) that future medicine can cure her grandmother. Her justification is that she only wants to visit the “real” Grandma, not the fake one who can’t remember her. But Hayato pressed her to visit anyway because his greatest regret was not seeing Grandma Sachiko before she died. Tug the heartstrings harder!

Oh boy. Goddess Café Terrace will start doing this odd device to deliver hidden knowledge to Hayato. His grandfather’s memories come to him in dreams! The first time I saw this, the dream showed a young Sachiko and Masahiro. They looked almost exactly like Hayato and his future daughter in the flashforward from the twelfth episode. Then, the past version of Sachiko talked directly to Hayato. Well. Hayato’s remark about regret worked on Ami. She wants to visit her grandmother, whose name (Private Tatsuta) came to Hayato in a dream.
