It was at the end of chemistry class when Kushiro suddenly came over and knocked on my book. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I wanted to avoid her, but Hiki turned her face over all of a sudden.

"Paper roe, what are you looking at?"

"It's just a book......

"Well, of course I knew this was a book. For some reason, he crossed his waist proudly and said, "However, this is not a textbook at all." ”

"I didn't have anything to look at other books in class...... Hey!"

Just as I was explaining, Yu snatched the book from my hand. My eyes widened, and I couldn't imagine that she would do this. I've been in school in the U.S. before, but my friends there don't just snatch my books out of the blue. Isn't this normal in Japan? I looked at my classmates around me, and they had nonchalant expressions on their faces. Anyway, I've become friends with Kushi, and to be honest, I don't really want to be friends with such strange people. But our seats are always next to each other, and when we are always together at lunch, we must have become friends in the eyes of others.

Ah, how so!

She didn't understand my distress at all, and she grinned and grabbed my book and looked at the cover.

"Eh, eh, "Design of a fully automatic coffee machine?"

"Hey, give it back to me!"

"What, it turns out that paper caviar will have such an interesting book. ”

"That was just something I accidentally saw in my uncle's shop. I sighed and said, "Chemistry class is so boring." If I don't find a book to read, I won't be able to stand it. So, hurry up and ......"

As I spoke, he threw the book at me, giving me the illusion of a punch in the air. She's always like that, interests come and go quickly. I really don't know what her brain is like.

"What, paper roe. Isn't that boring when you think about it? Automatic coffee machines have already been sold in shopping malls. ”

"That's not the case. I hugged the book tightly in my arms and said, "It still needs someone to operate, and you need to add coffee beans and water or something, it's too troublesome." It's really automatic, and it's the feeling that you can drink coffee as long as you sit and do nothing. ”

Yu looked at me with a puzzled look.

"Why such a strange idea?"

"Isn't that weird?"

“…… It's not so strange either, after all, paper caviar likes to eat. Yu shook his head and said something that made me a little angry, "Ahh

"Something like that......"

"Come on!

He grabbed my hand with a smile and pulled me to the test bench. She casually pulled a beaker out of it and turned on the faucet next to the test bench. A white column of water with strong water pressure hits the beaker directly. He looked at the water in the beaker as if he were looking at a baby, and then pouted.

"Ahh Regretful. It wasn't even coffee. ”

"Why do you think there's coffee coming out of here!" I couldn't help but knock my head. Every time I do this, I always add the onomatopoeia of "duang" to my heart. Because in my mind, the head of the oak should be made of wood or metal.

"Isn't it strange that so much water is suddenly coming out?" asked, covering his head.

"Not surprising at all. It's common sense. It's common sense to turn on the faucet and water will come out!"

"Okay, that's common sense. He patted me on the shoulder with a look of abandonment, "But I said, then why do you still think about a fully automatic coffee machine? Coffee can't come out of nowhere, can you?"

"—No, maybe out of thin air. Coffee. ”

I was startled when someone was talking behind me. When I turned my head, it turned out to be Hongdao-san. Hongdao-san has always been elusive, and to be honest, I'm a little afraid of her. On the other hand, she can often talk to Yu Pan, and she has been established in my heart as the second weirdo.

I think everyone understands who Weirdo No. 1 is.

"But......" Hongdao didn't notice my mental activity, and continued to whisper slowly, "maybe it will cost a little......

"Eh, you know about such a thing, this is a gourmet!" he smiled and patted Hongdao on the shoulder, "Then tell me quickly, what is the price, is it an arm, an eye, or ......something else?"

"Hey, hey, that's too much!" I said, pushing my glasses involuntarily.

"When it comes to worshipping Cthylla or Ythogtha, you need more than that!"

Yu said seriously, and Hongdao-san, nodded with a smile.

"Ah, that's right. It's the so-called old ruler. But I'm talking about a coffee shop called an 'automatic coffee shop'. ”

"Huh, an automatic coffee shop?"

"It's just money. ”

"What. Just asking for money...... Is it expensive?"

"Isn't it expensive?" Hongdao said after thinking for a while with a complicated expression, "Ah." It's a bit expensive, about 100 yuan more expensive than the coffee shop on the street. ”

"That's not that expensive, is it?"

I was immediately deflated. What, it just asks for a little money. I thought I needed to give something precious. Ku also had a boring expression on his face, muttering words such as "copper-smelling city" and "highly developed capitalist society". But I suddenly thought of a question.

"I said, Hongjima-san. Isn't the average coffee shop automatic? We hand over the money and we get the coffee automatically? Isn't this automatic café just like a regular café?"

"Not true. Hongdao-san shook her dazzling long hair and said, "This coffee shop doesn't have a single clerk." Just put the money on the counter and say the coffee you want, and I don't know when the coffee will suddenly appear in front of you. If you taste the coffee carefully, you can still feel the burning sensation that makes your teeth tremble, so you must be rightly brewed coffee. However, I don't know how it appeared, and I don't see who brought it up. When I finished my coffee, I found that the money I had left on the counter was gone. ”

"Eh!" I was taken aback, "this is already a supernatural coffee shop!"

"Could it be that the clerks are all ghosts......" Hinoki also came back to life, shaking Hongdao's shoulders excitedly. But she apparently forgot that she still had a glass of water in her hand. The splash wets Hongdao's long hair, and then the hair hits Higashi's eyes, causing Hibishi to spill all the water out of the cup.

"Hey, over there, don't play with the instruments in the lab!"

"Right...... I'm sorry!" I didn't have any involvement in this, but I apologized to them. For the rest of the time, the three of them had to scramble together to find a rag and wipe the water trails clean. The teacher also forced us to clean the science lab by the way.

It was such bad luck.

————————————————————

Sure enough, as soon as school ended, I was pulled by Yula to find that strange café. According to Kojima-san, this café is near Stomach Head Park. Yu happily walked in front with his backpack, and I followed listlessly behind. I wanted to refuse, but I can say that I am the only friend I have made since I transferred to another school. If I still want to enter the social circle of this class, I can't refuse her. At this point, you have to think about it, maybe that café is a fun place, and maybe you can go there with your books to spend time in the future.

But when I got to the place, I was disappointed. If anything, it lacks the atmosphere of a café. There are no conspicuous signs, and there are no means to attract customers. The small door opened between the two houses, and those who didn't know thought it was the back door of the house. Pedestrians passed by this little café indifferently, and if I hadn't come to find it, I might have ignored it as they did.

The interior is decently decorated. Like most cafes, the interior is dark, with the only source of light being the floor lamps scattered between the tables. The multicolored glass lampshade on the lamp has a retro vibe. There are a lot of newspaper clippings and old photos hanging on the walls on both sides, and I think this should be the owner's own interest. The chic small table with its comfortable chairs and the rich aroma of coffee are intoxicating. A few people were sitting in the corner, and looking at their expressions, I thought it was a lazy afternoon.

However, at the counter, it was empty.

He first casually placed his bag on a high-end looking chair and then went to the counter. I hesitated and followed him to the counter. Is this a design where you need to go to the counter to order? It doesn't seem like there will be a waiter to give us the menu......

While I was thinking about these things, Higaku was already flipping through the menu on the counter and playing with it. It seems that the drinks served here are nothing special either. Yu asked for a cappuccino, and I ordered a glass of lemonade as usual. Hibiki took the change out of his pocket and slammed it on the counter loudly.

"A cappuccino, a lemonade, thank you!"

With that, she stared at the empty counter with her big dark eyes.

PS: I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year!
