Would You Hold Me?

The manager of a soba restaurant is to blame for its poor customer service. Although he prepares the finest dishes, his demeanor is quite unfriendly. However, he has the support of Hayate, the restaurant's poster girl, who is dedicated to the establishment. Together, they have been maintaining the long-established restaurant, but with changing times, their customer base continues to decline. Just as the manager is on the verge of giving up, Hayate motivates him. "Stay strong!" she exclaims and takes a bold step, motivated by her desire to safeguard her cherished restaurant and her beloved manager. "I would do anything to protect you." With that declaration, she rolls up her sleeves, almost literally, and reveals her true feelings for the manager in an unforeseen manner.
