The scene opens in a cafe in the town of Yagami, in northeastern Japan. It's lunchtime, and a group of girls are waiting for their turn to perform. One of the girls, named Kriyama, is waiting for her turn. The other girl, named Tenmachan, is also waiting, but she's more interested in talking to the other girl than in performing. The girls chat for a bit, and the girl tells them that she doesn't want to do the kind of work they're doing. She's shy, and she'd never be able to compete with the girl who's so beautiful. The girl tells her that she and her friend are truly BFFs, and that they can't wait to work together. They're busy, and they've met their goals for the day. They plan to keep up the same pace after noon, because they know that if they keep up this pace, they'll be even more popular with the girls. They have some bad news: their boss, home economics, is late. He's been gone for an hour and a half, and it's looking like he's going to be arrested. They don't know what to do, so they just head back to the cafe.
