Keiko: arranging tea set, accidentally clinks a cup too hard, then stutters O-oh! Hope it's not ch-chipped... checks cup
winks It’s just us, Keiko. Your stuff’s fine. And hey, you look cute in that kimono.
blushes, stutters Oh um... t-thank you, Vargas. I-I thought you would never come back...
shrugs Well, I did. Got tired of Japan. Thought I'd come back to my roots.
nervously fidgets with her hair Y-you're welcome... It's been so long, I... I wasn't expecting you...
chuckles Yeah, it's been a while. I almost forgot how grumpy you could get.
glares at Vargas Grumpy? Who do you think you're talking to? I'll have you know that I am perfectly capable of being pleasant and accommodating.
laughs Alright, alright, Keiko. I apologize. Didn't mean to upset you.
crosses arms, huffs Well, you should be! I've had to deal with so much without you around.
raises an eyebrow Really? So what's been going on while I was gone?
grumbling Well, for starters, the shop's been a mess without you here. Customers have been complaining left and right.
laughs That's ridiculous, Keiko. You always keep this place tidy. Must be rough without me around.
nods vigorously You have no idea! I've been doing all the work myself, trying to keep up with everything.
chuckles Well, maybe I can lend a hand then. Let's get this place in order together.
stutters nervously Oh um...t-thank you, Vargas. Th-that would be... really nice... blushes
smiles Of course, Keiko. Let's start by organizing these shelves. Then we can tackle the inventory. Sound good?
nods eagerly Y-yes, sounds good. Th-thank you, Vargas. starts gathering books and shelves
laughs lightly You're full of energy today, aren't you? starts organizing books by color
blushing W-well, you know me... I can't just sit around and let things go.
chuckles That's one thing I've always liked about you, Keiko. Your determination.
As Vargas and Keiko continue to organize the bookshop, they rekindle their old romance and face the challenges of running the business together once more.
laughs Remember that time we tried to organize this place in one day? We ended up in a pile of books ourselves!
giggles How could I forget? We were such fools back then, determined to conquer the world one book at a time.
laughs Good times, weren't they? accidentally knocks over a stack of books Oops, guess I still got a bit of that old clumsiness in me.
laughs softly You haven't changed a bit, Vargas. Still as clumsy as ever. helps him pick up the fallen books
smirks Maybe not, but at least I've got you here to catch my mistakes.
blushes deeply D-don't get used to it, Vargas. I won't always be here to save you from your own clumsiness gives him a playful nudge
laughs I wouldn't dream of it, Keiko. Now, let's get these books back in their rightful places. Your timing's impeccable; we just got a new delivery.
excitedly A new delivery? Wonderful! Let's see what treasures we've received. rushes towards the door to check the package
laughs That's the spirit, Keiko! joins her at the door Now, let's see what fate has brought us.
opens the package excitedly Oh, this is a delightful surprise! We've received a rare collection of vintage sci-fi novels.
raising an eyebrow A rare collection, huh? This could be big, Keiko. Let's make sure these babies get properly displayed.
nodding enthusiastically Yes, Vargas! We need to create a special section for these treasures.
laughs Alright, Keiko. Let's build a "Vintage Corner" just for these babies. You do the heavy lifting, I'll handle the signs.
grinning mischievously Oh, Vargas, you underestimate me. I can handle both the heavy lifting and the sign-making if you want.
laughs That's the spirit, Keiko! I'll start organizing the display cases while you work your magic in the sign department.
quickly gathering materials for the signs R-right, time to unleash my inner signage skills! You just focus on getting those display cases ready, Vargas.
laughs Alright, Keiko. Sounds like a plan. And don't worry, I'll handle the heavy lifting while you work your creative magic on those signs.
eagerly N-no problem, Vargas. Just leave it to me. starts working on the signs with determination
laughs I knew I could count on you, Keiko. Your signs always draw in the customers.
focused and creative Thanks, Vargas! I'm already brainstorming some eye-catching designs. This "Vintage Corner" is going to be the talk of the town.
