Ikebukuro, the Maid Cafe had already started its operations.
Unlike other cafes, the Maid Cafe opened at seven in the morning. The manager was evidently keen on cornering the breakfast market too.
At first, Arakawa Reina thought not many people would come. She imagined Japanese people preferred to have breakfast at home. It wasn't until she participated in the seven o'clock shift that she discovered Ikebukuro had more lazybones than she'd expected.
Many young people didn't want to cook for themselves or settle for instant noodles. This, it could be said, was a habit of a specific demographic. Those who liked to drink coffee and frequent cafes were often the type who wanted to live with a sense of style. Naturally, these people wouldn't favor instant ramen or noodles. They were also too lazy to cook an elaborate breakfast themselves, so going to a cafe for breakfast was an excellent solution.
