"Okay! And of course, I'm happy to be of help; a-and thank you, hehe..." A light blush spreads across his cheeks, boy his smile brightens all the same. He opens up the timer option on his phone's clock app, setting it for fifteen minutes: just to make sure he times it properly. Akira was trusting him to finish the rest, so he didn't want to risk messing up, not even a little!

As they talk, Shuichi will give the pot an occasional stir. "It is...one of the main reasons why I always try to work hard and do my best...oh?" At his joking offer to work here part-time, he gives a small laugh. "I mean I wouldn't mind working here part-time if you were being serious! If I wouldn't have any cases I would be busy with, yeah..."

With how often he loves coming here to study or do paperwork, Shuichi would be more than happy to extend a helping hand for his favorite cafe. Akira and Sojiro were always so nice to him.. At the mention of the "second detective Prince", Shuichi's ears perk up. "...Goro Akechi? Ah, I... actually haven't, yet. The guy is practically a celebrity... Plus,compared to him, I'm probably just some small fry! I would be shocked if there was a chance we could meet. Hahaha..."

"Though... from the interviews I've seen him attend on TV, he seems nice.. even if he did seem to have some rather strong opinions in regards to the Phantom Thieves." Opinions that Shuichi personally didn't agree with. He wondered if that would be controversial, given hesa detective, himself...? He then gives a curious tilt of his head. "How about you, Kurusu-kun? Have you ever met him? Or at least, your personal opinion of him?"

"Then I'll leave it to you, thanks for all your help. You're a great assistant." He smirked, teasing him a little, despite it being true. If he was all by himself, it would've taken twice as long before any customers arrived for the usual lunch rush hour. Leblanc could get crowded more often than not, and that's when he needed an extra hand.

Earning himself a break, Akira took a seat on one of the bar stools. "It's satisfying when hard work pays off. You ever thought about working here part-time? I'm kidding, of course. I'm sure you're busy with your cases and all that. It must be hard... especially with the second Detective Prince's popularity. Have you ever had the chance to meet him?" He was curious.
