—ARGHHHH !!!! Where is Mr.Wright!???
—Daddy went to buy flour! Answered Trucy while running toward a table to serve the brunch.
—But we need help with the kitchen and the service! There are tons of people!
—Calm down Apollo! We can just call for help!
—Trucy, everyone is working! I don’t think anyone will come!
—You never know! I will make a phone call!
—No! Trucy! Don’t leave! We still have clients!!!
Too late, she already went outside to call someone for help while I am trying to switch between cooking, cleaning and serving. It was overwhelming. Someone asked for a cheesecake, then another, an iced tea and other people wanted a takeout. I don’t have four arms like come on! I hurried to the counter for people who wanted to pay, my headache doesn’t want to go away…
I saw Trucy coming back with a huge smile and someone…I sighed, did she really succeed at getting some help? I lifted my head and lowered it as fast as I could when I saw who it was.
—So Herr Forehead, need some help?
Not him. Among everybody, Trucy chose him of course.
—Not yours.
—But Apollo, you’re sweating like crazy and you said we needed help! Just for one day!
—You should listen to Fräulein~ You’ve got a lot of clients coming.
What? I checked at the entrance of the shop…Girls were yelling like crazy. Gavin’s fangirls of course. What did I expect?
I sighed and threw an apron at Gavin which meant “Go work”. He chuckled and went to work right away,
—It was a good idea I asked him, right?
—Yes Trucy but next time, don’t leave when there are so many people.
—Roger! Sorry Apollo!
I couldn’t help but smile a little and I can’t blame her, we really needed help. Well, let’s go, you can do it Justice!
Now that we are a little more, we have Gavin as a waiter, Trucy at the counter and me in the kitchen, it’s a lot easier to focus on preparing the food. Hopefully, his fans will not cause a commotion.
~One hour later~
What did I expect?
—I WAS AT THIS SEAT BEFORE! YOU STOLE IT!
—HUH? YOU STUPID I WAS HERE BEFORE, ARE YOU DEAF AND BLIND?
Both girls turned to Gavin in tears, as if they were asking him to answer, he tried to calm them down while smiling.
—Come on ladies, don’t worry you will all see me, so don’t cry ‘kay?
They blushed. How??? How can they just forget why they fought just with one of his smiles!? This damn pretty smile. If only I could wipe it off him. Our eyes met and he just gave me the same smile as them. I just sighed and returned to the kitchen, no need to answer, it’s not like he talked.
Trucy came to collect the new pastries, she seemed happy, way too happy while watching me, even doing a little magic trick where heart balloons popped from her hat.
—Why are you so happy Trucy, something good happened?
—Oooh not really, I was just happy to see that you and Mr.Gavin seem to get along well!
What is she talking about? Me and this guy!? I sighed while quickly mixing the ingredients, there is nothing between us. We aren’t even colleagues. I think that I would have also done well, even with just Trucy.
Still, today seems really busy, is there a festival nearby? I don’t think so.
Trucy is quite efficient and the counter is easily emptied so she helps Gavin with serving clients…
Is Mr.Wright even alive? He isn’t coming back…It’s already 5 p.m. I hope he didn’t get kidnapped this time.
—And now, for all your beautiful eyes, here is the Trucy Magic Show!
What are you doing, Trucy!? No no no don’t put your shoes on the table!...Haa…Too late, everyone seems to focus on her, at least she has their attention.
Oh, she is giving flowers to everyone, they are quite pretty and all different, the ones who were the most reluctant look happier while enjoying their drinks and snacks…Even Gavin got one.
It is how Trucy Wright is. Always doing her best day after day, a ray of sunshine for every person she meets. I always find myself taking care of her because if she takes care of others, making them happy and all of that…Who takes care of her, apart from her dads? As her brother…I want to make her happy.
While I washed over the tables, she continued to give her magic show with the clients around her in a circle. Some even tried to check her hat, whether it was fake or not.
Finally, after 6 p.m, no more clients, every fan has been to the coffee shop with a bonus photo of Gavin. But also a free magic show from Trucy, it went smoothly. More than I imagined at least. In the end…Where is Mr.Wright???
—Apollo, Trucy! Sorry, I’m late!
—Mr.Wright! I can't believe you took six hours to buy flour!
—Haha…Sorry, I lied a bit, I knew that you would take care of the coffee shop greatly so I went to wait for someone…
—What!?
—Daddy! How could you lie to us? There were a lot of people you know!
—I agree with Fraülein, as a witness of the consequent number of people at the coffee shop.
—I have a reason! I promised him before and I knew that Trucy would be happy to see him!
—Who is it then?
—Haa…If I knew that you left the children alone, Wright. I would have asked Gumshoe to take me home.
—Daddy!!!!
Trucy jumped in the arms of the prosecutor, Mr.Wright’s husband and Trucy’s second dad aka Miles Edgeworth.
—Good evening to you too, Trucy, he hugged her lightly in return while putting away a confetti from her hair—Did you do a magic show again in the coffee shop?
—Hehe, I couldn’t help it! Everyone was happy ! By the way!
She popped two bouquets of flowers for both her fathers, giving it to them.
—You didn't have to, but thanks Trucy! They are beautiful.
Mr.Wright laughed while hugging his daughter, and then…
—Huh?
—Here for you, Apollo! I didn't forget you!
Trucy gave me a bouquet of flowers too. It is surprising.
—Why?
—Why can’t I? For being the best brother ever of course!
I blushed…a lot while hiding my face as everyone laughed.
—...Thank you, Trucy.
As we closed the shop and went home, Gavin approached and whispered in my ear.
—You are quite cute when you blush, Herr Forehead.
Urghhh…I despise him. I feel my cheeks burning again.
—Hmm? What are you talking about??? Ohhh!!! Mr.Gavin is inviting Apollo to dinner! Isn’t it? Let’s go Dad and Daddy! We must leave them alone!
She took her fathers’ arms and ran to the car.
—WAIT TRUCY, IT IS NOT THE CASE!!!
—Well…actually, yes, I wanted to ask you~
—...What?
Gosh, now I’m a tomato and the three of them went away, I sighed while trying to regain my composure.
—...Ok…Okay. Let’s go get dinner.
Geez, Trucy. When I will catch you!
