Kapitel 1998: A Cafe Meeting

Luckily, the cafe was pretty deserted today. Aside from a few regulars who are probably from this neighborhood, we became the only students inside.

Of course, they eyed us like we were about to skip classes. Even the owner, who I had a fairly good impression of before, wasn't smiling at our presence. But thinking about it, it's definitely not because of that reason but rather, it's because she recognized me and found that I was meeting a different girl.

Her original positive reception toward me became more full of doubt.

Ah. No. It's not just a doubt, she probably already crossed me in her ‘good customer’ list. If we got some freebies in the house back then, now, even an additional sugar for my coffee wasn't provided.

Thankfully, she's still generous with the portion of the cake. I ordered a slice for both Ririka and Ohori-senpai.

In conclusion, she's only mad at me and not at the girls, no?

Uh. I guess I deserved that.
