| Banri | Fuaaa, how bothersome.. They told me to just leave already, but is there a place to kill time anywhere? |
| Tsumugi | Eh? Banri-kun? |
| Banri | Ugh... |
| Tsumugi | What are you doing at this time around? It is no good to skip school, you know. |
| Banri | Ah, today we have this at the school, you know.. what is it? Opening day anniversary? |
| Tsumugi | Sakuya-kun and the others are going to school, though. |
| Banri | It's townspeople day then. |
| Tsumugi | I never heard such thing exists in Velvet Way, though. |
| Banri | Ah, I actually have some chronic diseases... |
| Tsumugi | That is a surprisingly old trick. |
| Banri | I have some chronic flu then... |
| Tsumugi | Okay okay, that's enough. I won't tell director. |
| Banri | Thanks. By the way, Tsumugi-san, you don't go to your part-time work today? |
| Tsumugi | It's my day off today. I am actually running an errand for director. |
| Banri | Oh.... Well then, do you have time today? Should we go out for a little bit? |
| Tsumugi | ....again? |
| Banri | Hell yeah. |
| Tsumugi | You also like it, huh. Okay, let's go out. |
| |
| Tsumugi | Eh... |
| Banri | This is Tsumugi-san's favorite shop, isn't it? There aren't many people here so it feels calm. |
| Tsumugi | Yes, this is a good shop. |
| Employee | Thank you for waiting. Here are your drinks, two cups of hot coffee. |
| Tsumugi | .....Yeah. |
| Banri | ...... |
| Tsumugi | The coffee is also delicious. |
| Banri | I know right? |
| Tsumugi | Just as I thought, Banri-kun has good eyes. |
| Banri | I suppose. |
| Tsumugi | .....Yes, It's calming. |
| Banri | I know Tsumugi-san would definitely like this. |
| Tsumugi | You found it out. |
| Banri | Isn't it a good thing that I skipped school? |
| Tsumugi | That's a different matter. If you keep skipping school, you will repeat a year, you know. |
| Banri | I've already calculated it properly, so no problem. |
| Tsumugi | Banri-kun sure is good at dealing with things, huh. |
| Banri | Ah, anyway, the MMO that has just been released recently is really interesting. It's easy, so why don't Tsumugi-san give it a try? |
| Even though Itaru-san usually does things like PK[1], there are forbidden areas, and also a lot of laid-back players. |
| Tsumugi | Eh..... |
| Banri | Itaru-san and I will help you leveling up. How? |
| Tsumugi | First off, what is MMO? Is that some type of game? |
| Banri | You don't even know it, huh..... |
| Tsumugi | I have no knowledge of game, you see. |
| Speaking of interesting things, the movie that is playing in Veludo Way's movie theatre was interesting. |
| It's a story about a couple who like collecting antique things. Since it seems like they only play it for a limited time, I think it is best to watch it now. |
| Banri | Eh... I only watch horror and action movies, though. |
| Tsumugi | I see. |
| Banri | I'll go watch that when I feel like it. |
| Tsumugi | Okay. |
| Banri | .......... |
| Tsumugi | .......... |
| Banri | .....Ah, that's right. I have to pull the limited gacha. |
| Tsumugi | Is it game again? |
| Banri | Yep. |
| |
| Banri | ....... |
| Tsumugi | ....... |
| .....Banri-kun, there's something I want to ask. Why do you always bring me together to any good shops that you find? |
| Banri | Eh? |
| Tsumugi | I am happy about that, but isn't it more fun to bring a friend who is the same age with you? |
| Banri | Hmmmm. Well, it sure is not exciting. |
| Tsumugi | I know right? |
| Banri | However, I don't really understand why, but being with Tsumugi-san somehow calms me down.... it puts me at ease? |
| Tsumugi | I see. That's good then. |
| Banri | How about Tsumugi-san? |
| Tsumugi | I am also having fun. I come to know a lot of shops thanks to you. |
| Banri | Well, isn't it good? |
| Tsumugi | Yeah, but I think it is kinda strange for the two of us to be drinking tea at this point of time. |
| Banri | It sure is. |
| Tsumugi | We may be both leaders and cafe lovers, but our preference and things that we like are completely different. |
| Banri | Even our cafe's preference is different. |
| Tsumugi | Banri-kun always considers the menu taste as the most important, but for me, it's the shop's atmosphere. |
| Banri | Shops that have the two of them combined are hella precious. |
| In the first place, Tsumugi-san's strike zone is too detailed. |
| Things like the chair position, the table's manufacturer, the cup's brand, the certification.... |
| And even the table's arrangement. Your detail level is the same as a sister-in-law's. |
| Tsumugi | That's because coffee shops are condensed from master's preference, you see. That's why shop that pays attention to small details is a good shop. |
| In Banri-kun's case, you can't leave even one menu tastes bad, yes? You even check the sugar measurement, so isn't Banri-kun just the same? |
| Banri | Checking the sugar is basic, you see. |
| Tsumugi | I don't think it is really basic, though. |
| Banri | But this sure is a mystery, isn't it? We're not even the same age, and even when we become classmates, you're not the type of guy that I like to befriend with. |
| Tsumugi | I know right. |
| Banri | I wonder how does it look if we see it from a side. |
| Tsumugi | Yes... It's a mystery. |
| Banri | It sure is a mystery. What is our relationship in the first place anyway? |
| Tsumugi | .....Colleagues of the same theatre company? |
| Banri | It doesn't really suit somehow. Other members don't drink tea together with us, you know. |
| Tsumugi | You're right. I feel like we are more than colleagues, but we're not exactly "friends".... |
| Banri | I guess we're like "tea drinking buddies with an age gap." |
| Tsumugi | That's right. |
| Hm? There's a LIME from director. |
| Banri | I got one too. It's in the company chat. |
| Tsumugi | Interesting street act...? |
| Banri | There's a video. |
| Tsumugi | ...... |
| Banri | ......It's good. |
| Tsumugi | ....They're skillful. |
| Banri | I never thought of this method. It's fresh... |
| Tsumugi | Not just the idea, but they also have acting skill. I wonder which theatre company it is. |
| Banri | Well, but we're not going to lose here, though. |
| Tsumugi | We have to develop too. |
| Banri | ..... |
| Tsumugi | ...... |
| Should we go for it too? |
| Banri | I am up for it. |
| Tsumugi | .....Ah. |
| There's one more, our common point. |
| Banri | What is it? |
| Tsumugi | We both love plays. |
| Banri | ....There sure is one, but is it okay? |
| Tsumugi | Yes. |
| Excuse me, can I have the bill please? |
