“TRANSLATOR:Foxsunes/EDITOR TheNix”

  Tensai asked him, 「So what are you doing here, Juugo?」

「Uh. Yumeji-san recently helped me with studying for my exams. So now I’m treating her to cake to thank her for that.」

  It seems like he was using some sort of excuse to take a girl out for tea, you can’t take a pervert like him lightly.

「Is that so? Then what do you think of sitting with us? The shop is quite crowded as you can see, and we are already acquainted with each other.」

「Huh?」Yumeji-san was perplexed by Tensai’s suggestion. Yes the shop was fairly crowded, but it wasn’t like there weren’t any other open seats.

「Or maybe it is that you prefer being with just the two of you?」

  Yumeji hurriedly waved her hand at Tensai, who was wearing a mean grin.

「Th..there is nothing like that going on at all! R..right, Juugo-kun?!」

「Huh? Eh…. y..yeah that’s right.}

  Although Yumeji-san had become bright red, for Juugo-kun it was quite the opposite; he looked a bit disappointed.

「Well then, it has been decided.」

  And so we ended up sharing our table with them.

  Yumeji-san sat down next to me, so Juugo-kun inevitably sat down next to Tensai.

「Screw you, Tensai. I’ll remember this later.」

「Hm, whatever are you are talking about.」

  The two on the other side of the table were saying such things to each other. On this side of the table, Yumeji had put down the tote bag that she had been wearing over her shoulder. At that moment, I happened to catch a glance of what was inside the bag. It’s rude to stare too much into someone else’s bag, so I tried to avert my eyes. I did try, but then I found that and my eyes were glued to the bag instead.

「Ah..」

  Before I knew it, a gasp came out. Yumeji-san must have noticed my line of sight, and she turned her eyes toward the bag. And at the moment that she understood that my eyes had focused on the latest volume of 『NanNan』. Her face became bright red.

「It.. it isn’t what you think, Hoshino-san! I.. I really didn’t have such an intention! I just thought like, I wonder what would happen if it were true..!」

Yumeji-san was waving her hands and getting flustered. It was a light panic. She was at her wit’s end and she was starting to look like a criminal confessing her crimes, without anyone even asking for it.

「Hm? What is wrong, Yumeji-san?」Juugo-kun asked this from the other side of the table. 

  Yumeji-san replied「 It.. It’s nothing!」all the while blushing way more than necessary.

  Looking at their interaction, I realized something.

  It was just a hunch, but doesn’t it look like Yumeji-san is interested in Juugo-kun? To have a crush on a guy with such weird kinks… I thoughtlessly started to question Yumeji-san’ s taste in men. After all, they often say that love makes you blind.

「Ahh, ehm. Hoshino-san. Can you keep this a se.. A secret…?」

  I smiled at Yumeji-san whose color was still gradually fading from embarrassment, while she asked me in a thin voice.

「It’s okay, I will keep it a secret.」

  Exactly, please think about this very carefully. Yumeji-san is a shy type of person. That same Yumeji-san is working very hard to make progress in her relationship with someone from the opposite sex that she is interested in. If that’s the case, then I must cheer her on. Juugo-kun is a big pervert and always thinking up evil schemes, but there is also a side of him that will put himself on the line to protect a girl. That is why I don’t think he will do anything bad to Yumeji-san……. he probably won’t. This sort of dangerously playing with fire should be a good experience for Yumeji-san, if she is to become a novelist in the future.

  Although I was thinking about these things, they are not my real feelings.After all, Yumeji-san and I had come to this shop with the same objective. The fact that Yumeji-san had taken Juugo-kun to this café meant that the chance that I would be able to make Tensai drink coffee from the legendary mug might have gone down.

  The only thing fortunate about this situation was that Yumeji-san was probably not aware of my goal here. I’m not so happy about it but I go to school as a girl. So to Yumeji-san it must look like me and Tensai are just two girls who came here to have tea together.

  Because we were sharing a table now and it was decided that we’re all going to order together, Yumeji-san and Juugo-kun took a look at the menu.

「Hmmm, this chiffon cake looks really delicious, doesn’t it? Then I’ll be taking this one, with a black tea.」

「Eh!」Yumeji let out a sound of surprise.

「Say Juugo-kun. Aren’t you going to order any coffee?」

「No. I think of cake really pairs best with English tea.」

「I.. I guess does.」

  Oh, what is happening here? Yumeji is visibly a bit low of spirit. Even now, she is wearing an expression as if she is about to die.

  Compared to her, Juugo-kun is really terrible. What does he mean, English tea really pairs best with cake? He is definitely just saying that to look cool. He definitely is the type to feel like all tea is the same. I won’t forgive you for disappointing Yumeji-san with such boring pretentiousness.

「Urghh」

  Behind the menu that was standing on the table, Yumeji-san was acting very dejectedly. Juugo-kun probably couldn’t see her from the other side, but it was all too clear for me, as I was sitting right next to her. That’s no good, Yumeji-san. It’s no good if you give up already.

  As I was thinking that, I tapped her on the shoulder three times.

「Hm? Did you want to say something, Hoshino-san?」

  I whispered my plan for certain victory to Yumeji-san, who was really losing her spirit.

「Ehh, but….」

「It’ll be okay, Yumeji-san. Please believe in me.」

  She must have felt the enthusiasm in how I used a male pronoun for “me” here. Yumeji was looking a bit embarrassed and cast her eyes downwards, but she lifted her head when she said 「O-okay, I’ll do it.」.

「Hey, Juugo-kun…」

「Yes, what’s up, Yumeji-san?」

「I….. to me…… I think it is really cool when guys drink bitter coffee.」

  Yumeji-san looked like her face was about to burst into flame any time. 「Wuhhhhh, saying something like this to a boy is so improper.」Yumeji cast her eyes down.

  But she had been courageous and did her best.

  It was surely going to work out, because….

「Master! Pour me one of the most dark and bitter coffee this shop has to offer!」

  Because Juugo-kun happens to be an unequaled idiot when it comes to showing off to others, he falls for our plan.He suddenly snaps his fingers, puts on a tough expression and makes this nonsensical order. At times like this you’re supposed to say something like “espresso” or “ doppio”, or something like that. He definitely has no clue about the different types of coffee. However, I did on the other hand quite respect how we was able to say something so embarrassing out of pure enthusiasm. It’s a bit amazing.

  As a result, Yumeji-san’s face has now broken into a smile.

「I.. I did it, Hoshino-san.」

「Way to go, Yumeji-san.」

  We happily whispered to each other behind our hands. My plan was a success. The chance that the mug I was aiming for Tensai to drink out of would actually go to her might have decreased, but if it pleased Yumeji-san, then I was also happy about it.

  As we were celebrating our little victory, the sound of the doorbell sounded once more.

「Isshin-sama, it’s over here! The shop where you can drink ridiculously good coffee.」

  Hearing such a familiar voice, we turned our eyes to the entrance.

「「「Ah!」」」
