Have you found ”Something New”of September?

It was our new member
ヾ( ̄∇ ̄=ノ♪Tomokoヾ= ̄∇ ̄)ノ♪
She is so lovely and smily... and kind to support me when I make mistakes. She works on Monday, Thursday and Friday.

Saki is a volunteer learning English at the cafe once a week.
So we are 4 of us in such a small cafe.
There is a reason why...

You need to check October's ”Something New”.
We plan to reply for your request, hopefully this month.
Maybe, maybe...
