"Could it be that Miss Shinto's friend... is Miss Nakiri?"
He said jokingly.
Erina's image appeared in my mind.
Speaking of which, Erina hasn't been to the shop for a few days.
The relationship between the two had become somewhat awkward due to Senzaemon's involvement.
Especially after Erina recognized him as her teacher.
However, Aoba's joking remark made Hisako Shinodo freeze as if struck by lightning.
Aoba's expression changed.
"Could it be... really?!"
"No! It's not Lady Erina's!"
"Erina-sama would never read these kinds of shoujo romance manga, much less secretly ask me to buy them!"
"It's...me!"
"I bought it for myself! I bought it for myself!!"
Aoba had just asked a question in surprise.
He was interrupted by his secretary, who was speaking to him with great intensity and seriousness.
The girl's face was flushed.
He looked down at his toes, which were barely visible.
As she retorted, she glanced up at Qingye in front of her and, seeing his surprise, immediately put on a resolute and unwavering expression.
It was as if they were carrying some kind of shame.
This posture made Aoba sigh.
Kid, you're making it way too obvious!
However, he didn't expect that even a girl from a large family like Erina would like to read shoujo romance manga?
That being said.
If Kasumigaoka's new book is adapted into a manga, her grades might improve.
That's all in front of us right now.
Aoba looked at the crowd that had gathered around him because of his attire and smiled helplessly.
He flicked Hisako's forehead with his finger:
"So... Miss Shinto, who's buying comics for herself, could you come with me to buy some clothes first, on the 27th?"
"Eh~?!"
Hisako Shinoto's resolute expression lasted only a second.
then,
I was instantly captivated by Aoba's renewed good looks.
"Well, what can I do? The shop manager is Erina-sama's teacher."
Fei Jiu Ling Liu Shi VI Qi Ba Er Sha Zi tightened the bag in her arms, turned her head slightly away, and seemed a little afraid to look at the handsome face in front of her.
She didn't dare look for too long.
It's all because Aoba's looks are too unfair!
It's only been a few days since I last saw him, but he seems to have gotten even more handsome.
wrong!
Hisako, calm down!!!
He's Erina-sama's teacher, absolutely not...
"Let's go then, otherwise there might get more and more people later."
Aoba smiled and nodded.
He reached out and grabbed the girl.
Feel the warmth and the rubbing sensation of your fingerprints against your hand.
At this moment, the girl had completely forgotten her purpose and was just staring blankly at the two holding hands.
As if remembering something, the corners of her mouth, which had been trying to keep calm, unconsciously curled up.
Inside the cafe.
Aoba and Hisako sat facing each other.
"Please enjoy."
After the waiter brought the coffee to Aoba, he slowly left.
The two chose a window seat in the coffee shop.
Many of the female staff at the front desk were looking in this direction.
Aoba didn't care.
Hisako Shinoto frowned slightly as she was looked at by these gazes.
She looked up at the front desk and the female customers around her.
moment...
The receptionist quickly looked away and went back to her work with her head down.
Although the female customers nearby felt uncomfortable with Hisako's gaze, they didn't want to embarrass themselves in front of Aoba.
Instead, he simply smiled slightly at Aoba and his group's table, appearing very magnanimous as he apologized and then looked away.
"Aoba-kun is really popular with girls."
Hisako was getting quite impatient with the women's stares, so she could only protest by looking at Aoba, who was smiling at her the whole time.
"Even after changing my clothes, it still doesn't hide it..."
Aoba chuckled softly upon hearing Hisako's words.
He was thanking her for accompanying him to buy clothes, so he invited her to have a coffee with him here.
It was still early when we left Otome's place; it wasn't even noon yet.
It's a way for me to relax a bit.
Aoba leaned back slightly on the sofa, looking at the girl with a calm and gentle gaze.
"Hmm? So I have to thank Ms. Niito for shielding me from so much trouble."
Although there was a little incident between the two last time.
However, Aoba still had a good impression of Hisako.
"No need for thanks or anything like that..."
Hisako had regained her composure by now, and even looking at Aoba's ridiculously handsome face, she didn't blush so easily.
"However, there is something I would like to ask of Aoba-kun."
She seemed a little embarrassed, and pinched the edge of the bag containing the comics with her fingers.
"what's the matter?"
Aoba was a little curious.
The other party is Erina Nakiri's personal secretary, is there anything she can't do?
"actually..."
Hisako Shinoto bit her lower lip, a hint of insecurity showing in her determined eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke in a low voice:
"It's about Lady Erina."
"I wonder if it's because of Aoba-kun, but Erina-sama's cooking skills have improved very rapidly lately..."
"I.."
Hisako paused.
wow-
The edge of the comic book pocket had been completely crushed.
The girl's knuckles had also turned white.
"...Never mind, it's nothing."
As the autumn wind subsided, the girl returned to her calm demeanor.
"Thank you for the invitation today, Aoba-kun. I... I'll head back now."
Hisako Shinto didn't touch her coffee on the table before getting up to say goodbye to Aoba.
Even Aoba could see the other person's inner conflict.
So, is it still because of Erina?
There are indeed many twists and turns in the lives of wealthy and powerful families.
Kaguya and Hayasaka seem to be the same.
He smiled helplessly, took the girl's hand as she left, and, amidst her surprised gaze, looked up at the coffee on the table with a smile:
"Miss Shinto, wasting food is wrong, and as a chef, you should understand that even more."
As a chef...
Upon hearing this, Hisako Shinoto looked forlornly at the slightly steaming cup of coffee on the table.
The coffee is no different.
