St. Patrick's day and graduation

St. Patrick's day eventually arrived, meaning various green foods were prominently featured.

"Good thing everyone wears green pants," Mimi grinned as she served food.

"So you got special matcha crepes for St. Patrick's day?" Madoka asked.

"That and a few Irish dishes and drinks too," Rika grinned.

"How about leprechauns?" a fat leprechaun with a purple beard asked.

"No- WAIT! It's YOU!"

The leprechaun then leapt onto the stage and began singing.

“Yo Yoi! I am the greatest criminal from the depths of Edo. The great daimyo of organized crime. Everyone fears my name! For every atrocity, I have attained! Murder! Kidnapping! Drug Smuggling! None can match my Might! Theft! Assault! War Crimes! All now fear my wrath! With my evil ninjitsu I will conquer all that’s good. They say Jesters are the fools, WELL WHO'S LAUGHING NOW DUMBASS! Lalalalalala! Jester-sama is the evil, dastardly, wicked, inhumane, dark ninjutsu daimyo! Oh oh oh oh! Yooooooo!”

Once Jester was done singing, his ninjas  appeared and restrained and gagged all the present staff of Ryokoma before stuffing them in a large pot.

"Buwahahaha! Madoka! This time I've kidnapped the restaurant staff. If you don't kill yourself with er- THIS knife, I'm gonna turn this pot of girls into a pot of molten golden girls!" Jester laughed as he tossed a knife to Madoka.

Madoka unamusingly glared at it before chucking it at breakneck speed into Jester's stomach. She then vanished and kicked him in the crotch sending him over the side of the balcony. Gnorville, whom was standing by the sedan, pulled out a rocket launcher and blasted Jester away.

"F*** YOU MADOKA!" Jester cried as he flew off into the distance.

"MASTER!" the ninjas cried as they immediately charged after him only to get blasted by the rocket launcher.

"Looks like your place is leprechaun-proof," Madoka smiled as she freed the staff.

"Think we'll need to up our security each year on St.Patrick's day going forward," Rika grumbled.

"Rika! What was that sound!? And why is everyone here!?" Masaru cried as he arrived at the restaurant.

"Oh, we almost got kidnapped."

"That's not something you just chuckle away!"

"Those ninjas caught us by surprise. Luckily, our crepe goddess save us."

"In that case her meal is free for the day. I'll also make her dinner."

"Free dinner!? I want lobster crepes!" Madoka giddily exclaimed.

"Very well. Abstract... meals are not my forte, but I will reward you for saving Rika."

"Heh? Just Rika huh? Well, guess you are his girlfriend," Waki grinned.

"He's grown in the 11 months we've been working this place," Rika serenely smiled.

"My, that is quite the serene smile you have upon your face, my female knight," Benihime noted.

"I only smile like this when I'm truly at peace."

"Well you clearly have a different mindset than the rest of us then. I'm still terrified from the kidnapping. That bastard mentioned molten gold. I still have nightmares about the day I was encased in wax," Matcha shuddered.

"Come to think of it, I wonder how long my sisters sentenced for."

"Sis said three years at least. Though she hasn't heard any updates, nor really kept up with it," Waki shrugged.

...

Madoka happily ate her lobster crepes. "Tastes great! I'll order some more tomorrow," she smiled.

"I take it this means we'll be adding lobster crepes to the menu," Masaru sighed.

"Why the sigh? You made a great new edition to the menu," Rika smirked.

"Perhaps I did."

"You've grown so much in nearly a year. Once we close for the day, how bout we spend the night at my place?"

"Huh!?"

...

"You don't need to wear the whole damn pack of condoms," Rika glared.

"But what if I were to accidentally impregnate you?" Masaru trembled.

"We'll make babies eventually. Besides, there's no guarantee you wearing the whole pack would prevent me getting pregnant."

"It worked at Christmas."

"But I don't exactly like feeling all that rubber in me."

"Fine! I'll wear a third of the pa- AH! They ripped!"

"That's why you shouldn't wear the whole pack."

"I still have one unopened package."

"Then put it on and get under the covers."

...

A few days later, the restaurant was filled with people celebrating their graduations. Madoka was among the graduates and snacked on her crepes in bliss.

"For the elementary school grad, it's on the house," Rika smiled.

"You're too kind," Harumi smiled.

"I deserve a reward. I almost got held back!" Madoka pouted.

"That's because you're not the most academically gifted student," Emeri groaned.

"But ya passed and graduated!" Eika grinned.

"You know Eriza and I each have one more year before our graduations."

"So? We celebrate ya reachin' the finish line."

"We're-"

"-Now-"

"Ugh, middle schoolers," the triplets stated.

"You haven't gotten the uniforms yet, but when you do, you three will be much harder to tell apart," Yuni chuckled as she ate her chicken.

"I sometimes have trouble myself," Hitomi sighed.

"That twintailed girl sure snarfs down a ton of chicken. Surprised she doesn't get fat," Bianka grumbled as she glanced at Yuni.

"Oh? Not going to flirt? Perhaps you truly are getting older," Mochi snickered.

"Onee-sama's here. That's why."

"Ara, I truly hope you won't flirt the moment I'm unable to supervise you," Reika smiled as she got up to go to the restroom.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

"I also meant while I'm at work."

"Geh! Uh, I'll... try?"

Rika and Masaru happily watched the lively customers.

"It's looking lively. By the way, how'd the headmaster selection go?" Rika asked.

"The 10 finalists will be announced on the 25th of this month," Masaru stated.

"They'll be cutting it close. The new school year starts a few days after both the restaurant's one year anniversary and our birthdays. Speaking of which..."

"Very well. I know what you will request," Masaru smiled.
