Chapter 14: Classmates

The business of the coffee shop, as always.

It's not particularly hot, and it's not very deserted.

It still seems that no one has discovered that this coffee shop is the original body of the magical coffee shop in urban legends, so no one has come to challenge the three cups of "Meng Po Soup".

Except quantum.

Quantum is still insisting on completing its tasks, and will come over every day.

It also attracted the attention of some onlookers who did not know the truth.

And then it was pitted.

After going back and forth, Quantum and Enomoto Azusa also became familiar and became friends.

And Xiaolan.

They are all girls, so naturally they have a lot of topics in common.

Anyway, Qingming doesn't know much about those girls, and everyone's attention is different.

So Qingming is still reading.

And for Enomoto Azusa's request to recruit an extra waiter, it was completely as if he hadn't heard it.

This made Enomoto Azusa very helpless.

Although Qingming occasionally responds to her words.

"What do you want so many people to do? This café belongs to the two of us. ”

That's what Qingming said.

This made Azusa Enomoto feel like she was being molested.

However, in the face of Qingming's appearance that oil and salt do not eat soft and hard, she has nothing to do.

In the end, it was maintained.

On a new day, it rained heavily.

Thick dark clouds hung low in the sky, and passers-by on the streets were in a hurry.

Most of them were students after school, and the heavy rain made them not in the mood to play outside, and they all wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Xiaolan also seemed to come back soon, and did not go to the coffee shop to sit down.

Quantum still came over on time, sat in his seat, and drank hot coffee.

Meng Po soup, as if it would never be cold, was bubbling all the time.

That appearance makes people very reluctant to drink.

Even if you want to challenge it, you will resist it in your heart.

Moreover, there seems to be little challenge in recent days.

But today, someone ordered "Meng Po Soup" coffee again.

It was a young girl sitting by the window, with short hair, her left hand supporting her head, her back to Qingming, looking at the raindrops flowing on the glass, or perhaps at the pedestrians running quickly on the street.

She ordered Meng Po soup.

I don't know if I came here to challenge because I heard about the daimyo, or if I was attracted by Quantum's comfortable face.

Or is it just the habitual "have a cup of signature coffee"?

Anyway, that's what Enomoto Azusa heard.

The coffee was quickly prepared and delivered.

Qingming taught her the method, which was similar to ordinary coffee, but with a few more things, it became the infamous "Meng Po Soup" coffee.

"Your coffee."

Putting the coffee on the table, Enomoto Azusa looked at it curiously.

The girl is not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

It's just that he seems to have encountered something bad, so he just looked out the window, and his expression seemed to be a little melancholy.

He was still wearing a school uniform, and he probably came directly after school.

And the uniform seems a little familiar.

"Please take your time."

With a smile and a word, Azusa Enomoto turned to leave.

After just a few steps, he stopped and looked back twice.

As if confirmed, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards the counter.

"The shopkeeper."

"How many times have you said that you want to call your master, why don't you have the consciousness of being a maid at all?"

Looking at the clarity of the book, put down the book in his hand.

The hand rubbed his eyes, and after watching it for a long time, he also felt tired.

For his words, Enomoto Azusa didn't take it to heart at all, anyway, it wasn't once or twice.

So just say what she wants to say.

"Shopkeeper, that's the uniform of Didan High School."

"The uniform of Didan High School?"

Qingming stretched his neck, his eyes went around Enomoto Azusa who was standing in front of him, and put it on the girl over there.

It is indeed the school uniform of Didan High School, and Xiaolan often wears it.

So it's familiar.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

There are more students in Didan High School, but there are really few people Qingming knows.

Moreover, he hasn't been to school for so long, and it is estimated that not many people know him well.

Even if it's a classmate, he's not like Kudo Shinichi, a famous person, and he's basically familiar with his classmates.

He was only an international student who came here half a year ago, and he may be a topic of conversation at first, but gradually he will be forgotten.

So Qingming didn't plan to pay attention to it at all.

But Azusa Enomoto doesn't think so.

Qingming doesn't go to school, she can't care.

But since there are alumni from Didan High School coming over, she hopes that Qingming will get to know each other in the past.

Maybe I'll have one more friend.

"The shopkeeper, I'm also a classmate, maybe it's still a senior sister, a senior sister, or even a classmate, why don't you go over and say hello?"

"If you don't go, you can't give her a discount, you can make your own decisions."

“…… She ordered Meng Po soup, maybe she can drink it. ”

"Really?"

In this way, Qingming is interested.

I didn't plan to continue reading, so I just stood up.

There are very few people who can drink Meng Po soup, almost none.

Quantum counts one, and Asai Narumi also counts as one.

However, Asai Chengshi is not as good as Quantum, Quantum is drunk without care, Asai Chengshi is not good, and it is too reluctant.

If anyone else can drink it, that's a good thing.

Of course, what Qingming wants to see more is the other party's fool.

However, the other party has his back to the counter, so he can't see the front.

So Qingming stood up.

"I'll sit down over there and have a look."

With that, he left the counter with his books and walked over there.

Enomoto Azusa was a little helpless.

Can't this shopkeeper think about anything other than pranks?

But she didn't bother to care.

And Qingming here, walked to the girl's side, stopped, and took a look at the girl's appearance.

"Huh?"

Qingming, who was originally uninterested, suddenly looked a little surprised.

"This young lady, I look so familiar with you!"

It looks like I've seen it somewhere.

Where?

Qingming began to think about his memories.

The girl, who was holding her head in one hand, seemed to sense that someone was approaching.

Raise your head and lower your hands.

His arm touched the coffee on the table, almost knocking it over.

Looking at the coffee in the cup, it seems that he is still a little confused.

When was the coffee delivered?

She was a little confused.

Then he raised his head again and looked at Qingming.

It was a pair of eyes that seemed to have endless sorrow, maybe she had a lot on her mind.

Looking at Qingming, he seemed a little puzzled.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Qingming walked over to the place in front of her and sat down.

Then ask.

"Didan High School Sophomore Class B?"

That's Lan's class.

It's also Qingming's class, although Qingming hasn't been to it a few times.

But if it's really someone I've met, it's probably a classmate.

So he asked.

When the girl heard this question, she seemed to be even more puzzled.

"Yes."

Although I didn't understand it a little, I nodded in response.

Qingming, who got the answer, laughed.

"Really!"

As he spoke, he held out his hand to the girl.

"My name is Qingming, that international student, do you know?"

"Oh."

The girl nodded, with no expression on her face.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qingming to show friendship.

After all, it is a foreign student, and if you should give face, you should give some face, and you should take care of it.

"Naoko Takei."

Here's how she introduced herself.

Then he ignored Qingming, turned his head, and continued to look at the rain outside.

She's really a girl with a lot of personality!
