"That's true, but it's all of a sudden!"

Smiling, I can already naturally accept the fact that Haruka is my girlfriend. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info although she is asleep now, although she has been asleep for a long time, although we have not seen each other for a long time.

Even so, Haruka is my girlfriend!

The favorite person, the most important person; There is no substitute for a girl who wants to protect even if she dies.

"What's my girlfriend's name?"

Suizi took a sip of the black tea in her hand and looked at Xiaozhi calmly.

"Haruka Suzumiya!"

"Haruka Coolhouse...... What a name! ”

"Listening to the name, he must be a very cute person!"

Maybe Takayuki felt the disobedience......

"Yes! Gentle, lovely, beautiful, and more importantly, more important to me than anything else. ”

However, he chose to ignore it!

"You can't understand me, but you try to understand! Just because she likes me, just because she's afraid I'm going to hate her...... She endured it, waited, and catered to me! ”

He was destined to live alone.

"Really a good girl I don't deserve!"

"Really...... Speaking of which, I haven't seen it yet! Na~ Narumi-kun, can you let me meet your girlfriend? ”

“……”

Takayuki was silent. He didn't know how to answer Suiko's request! It wasn't a willful request, he just wanted to see it, but he couldn't.

"What are you going to do after we meet?"

"It's nothing! Just want to meet her (the one who became your girlfriend), have a meal with her, talk and chat. (I want to hear your story, I want to hear your story) and that's really it! ”

“……”

"Now, did you pick up a girl early in the morning at the shop where you work?"

When Takano didn't know what to do, an unexpected person who couldn't appear suddenly appeared.

"Daikuji Temple...... Sorry! ”

Once, I thought! The Great Empty Temple would do that to me, it must have been on purpose. Although it seems to be a very angry attitude, it doesn't feel a trace of malice, on the contrary, it is a little warm.

"I'm sorry for what, you lazy bug! Hurry up and get me back to work, or I'll kill you! ”

Loud and exaggerated, as if emphasizing his existence all the time, but the bad attitude and tone seem to be deliberately said to make people hate themselves.

Confusing and contradictory.,That's what I know about the Great Empty Temple Ayu.。。 It's just a petite and delicate girl, just a slightly willful girl.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, for the steps made by the Great Empty Temple, there is no reason for Takayuki to refuse: "I'm sorry, Suiko!" I'll save that for another time! The unexpected came...... I guess I was told ......"

"Really, I'm so sorry, Senpai! I can't come to my family this weekend, so I'm probably going to have to bother my seniors to work alone! Although the store manager said that he would call someone to come and support me when the time comes, that worries me even more......

"I see, is the support referring to the Great Sky Temple?"

"Now, Narumi-kun!"

"Oh!"

"What's wrong, Narumi-kun? I was suddenly stunned as I spoke, did I remember something? ”

"Well, that's exactly what happened! But, let's put this thing first, that's it first, I'm going to work! We'll talk about ...... later."

"Daikuji Temple...... Miss Ayu: Is that? ”

"Where there are women, there is war", this is not just to say that they have the ability to "woe waters" - to cause strife. It's more to emphasize their greed - what they crave, what they want to get. Desire to monopolize ......

In other words, the reason why they started the fight was not "unintentional", but "intentional".

- They are eager to get something, fighting.

Then, the belief that "you will never lose" will become extremely firm in an instant.

Definitely not lose; Anyone can lose, but she can't!

That's what they tell themselves.

If you lose, you're done! So, I'm going to win!

They push themselves so much.

But......

"What the hell are you doing, ...... of them?"

"War! Don't you understand? ”

Takayuki, who was standing at the entrance of the passage connecting the hall in the kitchen, secretly peeked at Suiko and Daikuji, only to see them staring at each other with wide eyes and "menacing".

"War? Ha? What is that? ”

"If you don't understand, forget it! Hahaha, filial piety, you are really young! ”

"Yes! It's really naïve! ”

"Young? Naive? Uncles, what the hell are you talking about? ”

A fat, tall, bearded middle-aged man is the pastry chef here, Nagashima Mitsuki.

"What? It's nothing! ”

Turning around, Uncle Nagashima dragged his bulky-looking body back to the kitchen.

"Nothing is ......"

"What's wrong with not understanding, filial piety? Just do that, just don't understand anything! ”

Maybe it's just an auditory hallucination, but when Liu Ming Ya Shuicang patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, and when he was about to return to the kitchen, Xiaozhi did hear it: "If you want to ask why, that's more interesting!"

I don't know...... Takashi didn't understand the "childish behavior" of Hoko and Okoraji at all, and he couldn't understand what Nagashima and Yanagiaki Yamizuaki were talking about - or something, it was completely impossible.

He's none other than Narumi Takayuki, an outlier who vows to live alone. He understands it, he understands it all, but ...... What has been decided will not change.

Other than that......

"Really...... Uncle and both of them are mistaken! ”

Glancing at Suizi and Daikong Temple, who were still competing, Takayuki turned his back.

"Well! There's no way around it! ”

Takayuki stopped and put his hand on the doorknob of the kitchen door.

"Affection and longing are originally very warm things!"

Twisted the handle, opened the door, and walked inside.

"Even if it's me, there will be times when you get it wrong!"

"Isn't it?"

……

"Daikuji Temple...... Miss Ayu, huh? ”

After filial piety left, after a brief silence and eye contact. Suizi put down the black tea in his hand, sat upright and looked at the eyes of the Great Sky Temple, and asked seriously.

"I didn't ...... That's right, what's the matter? ”

Suiko's attitude made Daikora feel very comfortable. In order to hide this discomfort, she deliberately spread her legs wide and sat very indecently.

"Hehe~" Looking at such a big empty temple, Suizi laughed out loud.

"What? Suddenly he laughed......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"I always think it's funny......"

"Hey~ Do you think I'm stupid?"

Although I don't feel malice, Suizi's laughing voice is also very good, but since I was "fooled", it is inevitable to get angry.

"No, no, no! I don't think I've thought about it that way, I really just think it's funny! Stopping the laughter, Suiko's eyes became sincere.

"Interesting?"

"Yes! It's just because it's funny, and there's absolutely no intention of laughing at you! ”

"Trust me!"

"Well, forget it! So, what's going on? ”

Okuji was bothered by Suiko's sincere eyes, and she waved her hand to give up before continuing the meaningless opening statement.

"No, it's not a big deal! It's just ......"

"Black tea...... Are you going to drink black tea? ”

"Huh?"

"Black tea, do you want to drink it?"

Since she didn't get a reply, Suiko asked again.

"Ahh......h Have a drink! ”

"Okay, got it! Narumi-kun ~ Have a cup of black tea! ”

……

"Here, Daikora Temple! Black tea, please use it slowly! ”

"It's noisy, hurry up and disappear for me!"

"Poof! Hehe~"

"Alas......" Takayuki sighed, shook his head, and turned away without saying anything.

"What's so funny?"

"No, nothing ......"

"Hmmm......"

Forced by the dangerous eyes of the Great Sky Temple, Suizi had to confess honestly: "I just think that 'Miss Big Sky Temple is really not frank'!"

"What does that mean? Also, don't call Miss Daikora Temple anymore; Dakong Temple, just call me Dakong Temple! Don't add 'mulberry', it's always uncomfortable to listen to! ”

"Really? Can't use 'mulberry...... In other words, is Okoraji the type that likes cuteness? So, how about the Daikuji-chan? ”

"It's disgusting!"

"Really? I thought that the name of "sauce" was very fond of the name of "sauce"! ”

"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible!"

"Huh? Is that really the case? It seems that Daikuji-chan is not aware of the fact that he is arrogant! It's been a leak! ”

"So don't add 'sauce' to me, give me a good ordinary name! Ordinary! Wait! I seem to have heard something that I can't ignore......"

Interesting things always make people interested and will make people pay full attention. Suiko, who was immersed in the thrill of teasing the Great Sky Temple, seemed to have forgotten the original purpose of the conversation.

"Okay~Okay~ Then, Dakong Temple, that's it!"

"Can you finally listen to me?"

"Jokes should be in moderation! It's not that you can say anything without getting angry, and it's not that you can do anything if you don't mind! The important thing is the limit, and once that limit is exceeded, even a harmless little joke can ruin everything......"

"Sure enough!"

"What did you say?"

"Huh? It's nothing! It's just my own words, don't care! ”

"Hearing you say that, I always feel more suspicious!"

"Forget it, it must not be a big deal anyway!"

"Yes, yes! It's really like what the Great Empty Temple said, it's really not a big deal. ”

"Don't say it, this sentence is redundant!"

Dakong Temple picked up the black tea in front of him that he had never drunk so far, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

"Wait a minute, Daikuji ......"

"Just wait a minute! That guy will be back soon...... As for what you want to say, save it for next time! ”

"Okoraji Temple ......"

Looking at the back of the Great Sky Temple, the small body, the small steps, and the tail of the horse that will shake with the walk......

"It's always been like that, but it's ......."

"A girl is a girl!"

"It's been decided since birth, and there's no way to do it!"

Holding the black tea in the palm of his hand, his eyes were fixed on the occasional passers-by outside the window, but his mind drifted into the distance.

"Because it's a matter of course, there's no need to feel inferior!"

"All you have to do is puff up your chest and whisper to yourself with complacency......"

"I'm a girl!"

Someone's whisper rang softly in Suiko's ears. Consciousness was not there, but she still whispered: "The weakest creature that is the most willful, greedy, and ugly......"

……

"Jingle Bell~"

While Suiko was in a trance, a couple walked into the café hand in hand.

"It's really stupid enough to stop walking!"

"Yes! It was so easy to be deceived! But I didn't expect that Reiko guy to lie to me! I was deceived by my favorite sister, and as an older brother, I really suffered a big blow! ”

"Reiko-chan must be innocent! You see, I've always asked you to stay with me lately, and you don't have time to spend with her, Reiko-chan must be feeling lonely! In order to attract the attention of the stopper, that's why I will make such a joke with you! ”

"That's right, but ...... Okay, I've got a solution! ”

Clapping his hand, the god thought of a way to solve the conflict with his sister.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation! Two guests, what do you need? ”

Hearing the bell, Takayuki walked out of the kitchen. The two young men and women who came about the same age as themselves looked at them holding hands, and it seemed that they were dating, that is to say, lovers.

Takayuki came to the two of them and waited for time to interject, but the couple in the conversation seemed to be talking too seriously and didn't even notice his presence.

It's not a way to stay in front of the guests all the time, so Takayuki chose to temporarily interrupt the conversation between the two in the most tactful way possible.

"Oh, I'm sorry! The conversation was so engrossive......"

Seeing filial piety, the god stopped and smiled apologetically and a little embarrassed. After picking up the menu on the table and flipping through the two pages, the god stopped putting down the menu, turned it around, and pushed it in front of his female companion.

"Egg yolk pie, tiramisu and Swiss omelet, a milkshake!"

When the female companion ordered, the god Zhixing took the opportunity to complete the order of "himself".

"A yolk pie, a tiramisu, a Swiss egg roll, a milkshake, right?"

"Well, trouble!"

"No, nothing!"

"How? Have you thought about it, Otomu! ”

Otomu !!

Hearing this name, Xiaozhi's heart was shocked; Uncontrollably, his gaze shifted to Otomu's body.

The well-dressed apple head, round face, ruddy skin, melancholy eyes, and confused gaze: "That, what's wrong?"

"No, I'm sorry! Because you are so beautiful in your relationship, you show your rude side and make you laugh! ”

"No...... Just don't keep an eye on it! ”

"What an understanding and gentle person, this guest is really enviable!"

"Huh? Mr. Waitress, if you want to make a move on Otomu, I won't agree to it! ”

"No, no. How is that possible? ”

"For women who already have sweethearts, no matter how beautiful they are, I won't make a move."

"Really? Even if you really like that person, is it? ”

For some reason, at the place where it should have ended, the god stopped suddenly adding something without warning.

"It's rude to say that, and you might get angry about it, but the guest ...... You're asking me a pretty stupid question! ”

As Takayuki said, after listening to his words, a small anger ignited in the heart of the god. As if there was some purpose or expectation, the god stopped suppressing the anger in his heart, looked into Takayuki's eyes, and asked seriously, "Mr. waiter, what is your answer?"

"Guest, have you figured out what to order?"

Filial piety wordlessly rejects the question of the gods' stoppage. He expressed his position and choice with his actions.

"Huh? Oh...... LW (the abbreviation of lovenowish coffee, the color is as black as ink, the smell is fragrant, the drink is tasteless, it is a unique signature coffee for warm desserts, overhead. Give me a drink, too...... Chocolate cake and mille-feuille rolls. ”

"Two cups of lovenowish, one chocolate cake and one mille-feuille, right?"

"Hmm!"

"Well, wait a minute!"

……

Lovenowish, pitch-black as ink, without the slightest aroma and without the slightest taste. People don't want to think about it, but they can't let go.

Although there is no fragrance, some people smell the fragrance of cherry blossoms; Although there is no taste, some people have tasted bitterness; Although the color is like ink, in the eyes of some people, it shimmers with a faint silver moon glow.

It's just a cup of coffee, but it's more than that!

With your heart, you will find its charm, its meaning, and its sadness! It is not a drink that can be accepted by the general public, and it has existed for a very small number of people from the beginning.

-- People who can go with their hearts, people who can resonate with it.

"It's not very good, this LW!"

Gently putting down the coffee cup, Otomu shook his head in displeasure.

"It's a pity that it's a rare drink recommended by Hinami's sister! What about stopping? How do you feel about this LW? ”

The god stood still and looked at the liquid in the coffee cup, as if he was stunned. He was frightened, he never thought that there would really be such a drink in the world.

"A good drink? I do not know! But if it's a drink, there's one at the café called Cozy Dessert that Hinami frequents. I remember that it was called lovenowish, and it was developed and concocted by the waiter's brother. The taste is not good, and Hinami can't say much, but after drinking it, my heart will beat non-stop, as if I feel something, and I always have the urge to cry! At that time......"

"Here, guest!"

"The waiter's brother would show up at the right time, and then smile and hand me a tissue, and every time he would do that, Hinami always felt so embarrassed......"

"Is that you...... It's you! ”

"Yes, that's me!"

I don't know if I really understood the meaning of the god's words, or if I was just considerate. In short, Takayuki, who had already left, suddenly stood by the side of the god Shikyuki, smiled and handed him a tissue and answered his self-talk.

"Thanks!"

Taking the tissue, the god hurriedly covered his eyes with it.

"There are no tears, but there is a clear feeling of tears flowing down my face, which is really incredible! That waiter brother is really amazing! ”

"It's just a consolation, and it's unlikely that it will help. After all, you didn't shed tears. Well, it's rude! ”

"Wait a minute!"

The god stopped Takayuki, who was about to leave.

"Is there anything you need?"

Takayuki turned around and stopped.

"Can you please answer my question?"

"Feel free to ask!"

"Have you ever had someone you really like?"

"There have been ......"

"There have been ...... Can I ask her name? ”

"Isn't there only one problem?"

“……”

"But it's good ......"

Takayuki turned his body.

"I used to really like two people......"

"One is my current girlfriend - Haruka Suzumiya. I still like her ......"

Filial piety took a step.

"The other is my former schoolgirl, Otomu Kazama. I ......"

Takayuki stopped, he was silent, he was hesitating to turn around.

"I liked you before! Because it's my first love, it's unforgettable! But, it looks like you're happy right now! Congratulations! ”

In the end, Takayuki did not choose to turn around, but took a brisk step.

……

"Otomu, that person is ......"

"My former senior, filial piety to my seniors; My first love, filial piety; Once, the person I loved the most! ”

Otomu clenched the hand of the god and looked at the sky in the distance, and continued: "But he suddenly left me when I loved him the most, and when I saw him again, he already had a girlfriend again, and he betrayed me!"

Holding the hand of the god to stop, Otomu felt relieved. Take steps together, look ahead together, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand - never before when I was with Takayuki.

"You may be angry when you say that, but I never hated him!"

"What I like now is to stop you! Filial piety, he is already a waiter......"

"Otomu, although you say so, you have never forgotten him! If you like him so much, why didn't you get him back in the first place? Didn't you hate him? ”

"Hey, stop! I'm going to be angry if you say that! ”

Clenching the hand of the god to stop, Otomu stopped, a very reluctant smile on his face. The god's words made her feel uneasy!

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you! But tell me, Otomu! I wanted to know more about him. ”

"Why?"

Looking at the eyes of the gods, Otomu can understand that the gods do not want to understand "him" out of curiosity.

"Because of that lovenowish, I wanted to know what kind of person was who could make that coffee."

"Really...... That's right! ”

Holding hands and looking at both sides of the road, the two took the same step again.

"Filial piety to seniors, no...... Filial piety! At that time, I didn't go to redeem Filial Piety because he was too cruel! ”

"Too cruel......"

"I don't have any other thoughts, I thought the guild would wonder if he was a pervert!"

"No, how could it be? The guy in the café didn't give me the impression that he was a pervert at all! ”

"Really? So, move on! ”

"He said this to me the day we last met......"

"I didn't say it at the time, so I'll tell you bluntly this time!"

"Forget me, Otomu!"

"I'm not suitable for you, I'm not worthy of you, and the most important thing is that I've decided - I will never marry any woman in my life."

"So, go back - where I'm not there."

"This ...... This is really cruel enough! ”

"No, you're probably wrong!"

"No, Otomu! You are mistaken! I can completely understand Narumi Takayuki's thoughts! I know what he meant by saying these things to you! ”

"Why does the stop line know?"

"That's probably because we're similar in some places!"

"Like? Where? ”

"For that, Otomu! Aren't you the clearest? ”

Once again, he clenched the hand of the god and stopped, and turned his gaze to the god next to him. This time, Otomeng was really angry: "Stop, what do you mean?"

"No, nothing!"

Holding Otomu's hand, the god's body moved.

"You make it clear!"

However, Otomu's body didn't follow his body's movements.

Therefore......

"I've already said it!"

Looking into Otomu's eyes, looking at her angry expression, the god stopped laughing. He smiled...... Let go of your hand......

"Stop!"

The god walked away, and even though he heard Otomu's shout, he didn't look back. He wasn't angry, he just wanted to leave! I don't want to move forward, I don't want to stay here. He thought that Otomu would understand, that he would believe him, that he would believe in the relationship between them. However, he was wrong......

Even if you are holding hands, even if you are shoulder to shoulder, even if you are looking at each other...... There will still be feelings that can't be conveyed. The distance between them is so far, but the distance between the hearts is so far that she can't understand him.

People usually understand each other by words, and if they don't say what they say, they won't understand; If you don't say it clearly, you won't understand it. Even if you finally understand it, you will still have questions.

This can be seen as distrusting the other party, after all, no one can confirm the truth of other people's words, and it is natural to question them, after all...... She was so delicate, so uneasy.

"Stop!"

She ran up and grabbed him, her face panicked, as if she couldn't accept what was happening. She's regretting, she's anxious, she's really, really upset!

"He's angry!"

She was smiling, but she still thought so.

Why?

- Because his hand was let go.

What the eye can see is only disguise, what the nose can smell is only delusion, and the tongue can only taste the pungent taste produced by the mixture of various spices. Most people are used to it, and some are even in love; So, they won't understand! The weight of a small cup of coffee.

"Otoyume! I used to like you! You've liked me too! However, this is no longer the case! I've long noticed that as the relationship deepens, you become more and more obsessed with me! To be honest, I was worried about it at the beginning. I'm going to feel uneasy, too! ”

"Stop?"

"What you liked at the beginning was me, and the gods stopped; And now it's just tracking the traces of that person in my body, and it's not me that you like, but that person—the waiter you call Mr. Narumi. ”

"Stop~"

"But, that's okay! To be honest, I don't mind if you like him, I don't get angry, and I don't have thoughts of anger. But you don't understand it at all......"

"Stop ......"

"Let's go back! Go back to where you want to be, back to where you belonged. I'll be waiting for you, waiting for you to be happy, or ......"

"Hmm!"

A soft snort interrupted the god's thoughts, and his mind was trampled. was dreamed of, but he was also trampled on by himself!

-- Because of two words, because of one sentence.

"Where to go? Back to where I belonged? ”

Otomu lowered his face and sneered.

"I don't understand you? What do you understand about me? Boyfriend? Have you ever cared for me? Do you know that every time you order the wrong dish for me? If you don't like it, you will want to eat it, so please don't be so superficial. What is the point of intelligence from someone else's mouth? Prove that you really like me, so want to know more about me? In that case, wouldn't you ask me yourself and find out for yourself? ”

"Don't preach to me there, I don't want to listen, you're not qualified yet...... Kuhe~ Have you really understood me? Did you really like it? I'm chasing filial piety, have you really gotten to know him? Don't be too presumptuous......"

Following the will of the gods, Otomu turned around: "I have no place to return, a year and a half ago, since then, I have no ......"

"Where to return or something, it's long gone......
