.IS that so?

I’m not interested in Tanaka though

.Yoshida, you’ve changed

.Eh? You look suspiciously timid at the entrance ceremony.you were beaten up by Endou the other day after all. Did he break anything? .Nah No, everyone’s saying the same. Yoshida has changed after his trouble with Endou. Is that it.Have you given up on Shirasaka?

.Yukino?

Why is Yukino being mentioned?

Aren’t you always staring at Shirasaka absentmindedly all the time? Well, Shirasaka’s a beauty so I can understand your feelings. It was just too open though

.Is that so?

So I was looking at her .That much

That must be why Endou beat you up. Endou began going out with Shirasaka around last week after all

.Everyone knows

Those with foul mouths say that some parts in Yoshida’s head got broken when you were hit by Endou

Un. That’s how it looks like. Really.

But you see.Shirasaka’s not a great of a woman since she went out with someone like Endou. She looks good but she’s ill natured. She’s that type

.I wonder That’s true. She was number one on the popularity among men at the start of the school but.her reputation dropped recently. It was finished specially when she had gone out with Endou .Hee The one rising in popularity recently is the chairwoman.Yamamine-san

.Megumi?

That girl’s kind to everyone. She’s not two faced. Also, she would be bright if you polish her.I can tell

Err.I’ve seen the results of her polishing though

She actually has a good style.her face is good too. Her hairstyle is lacking though. If someone teached her the way of fashion, she would change dramatically. Yamamine-chan is!

Yup.She really changed dramatically.

She’s seriously a good woman. She became an amazing beauty.yes

Shirasaka started being disliked by the girls from our class, but.Yamamine-chan’s has always been liked by the girls. I’ve never heard them say anything bad about Yamamine-chan

Megumi.is really a good girl after all

Somehow.hearing such a talk makes me happy. It feels like my own family is being praised.

Well anyway.you better not get involved with Endou any further He’s just a midboss you know

.Midboss? He’s always acting so arrogant and self important. But, he doesn’t actually have the strength, that’s why everyone calls him midbossfrom behind since middle school Is that so? I’m from the same middle school as Endou. He’s always saying My father’s a president and my uncle’s a councilor. My house has the power Then making absurd demands on the school side. But he had a fight with a son of a prefectural council member. .What happened? He went to apologize with his father while holding a box of cake. Since then, he definitely bows respectfully to the son of the prefectural council member. He’s an idiot.seriously

So that’s why he’s a midboss

He doesn’t have the ability to become a Big boss. Yukino is the woman who’s going out with him. .The train arrived at the station.

Ah, I’m getting off here.by, Yoshida. Do you best at your work!

.Thanks

Tanaka left the train laughingly

He’s not bad. But.He’s looking properly A person from our class. No.I didn’t know anything. About Yukino. About Endou. Even about Megumi.

I arrived at the target station.

I walked in the night road following the map. It was an area where big factories gathered near the sea. It’s golden week so all factories are closed. There’s no people around. With the help of the streetlights and the vending machines.I face the target shop.

I arrived at the shop safely.

The shop was an old bar. It’s called a coffee shop during the daytime so should I call it bar at night? It looks like they usually deal with the people from the factories. There’s a poster withLarge noon serving – 700 yenwritten on it after all It’s originally a fashionable looking shop though. The name of the shop written on a blue neon sign. Stardust In the parking lot at the side of the shop is Nagisa-san’s Benz that was taken from the mansion. .Nagisa-san’s already here. When I looked at the clock.It’s 8:36 Margo-san told me.Enter the shop at 8:40wasn’t it? .What should I do? .Hm?

Nagisa-san from inside the shop has noticed me.

She’s waving her hand smilingly saying Here here I made a gesture saying No no, I won’t enter right now Nagisa-san made a Why?gesture I pointed at my watch and showed It’s not time yet Nagisa-san made a gesture saying Oh, I see I returned a gesture saying Please wait for a moment Nagisa-san signed Roger, roger.

Haa, I sighed.

I looked up at the night sky. There’s clouds up above. It might rain tomorrow. 2 I saw the orange moon from the rift of the clouds.

Ah.Nagisa-san’s looking this way

But.there’s still two minutes. Should I do exercise on the meanwhile? It would be bad if I can’t move my body at important times.

I started doing radio exercise.

I don’t know other exercise anyway. Nagisa-san from inside the shop points at me and laughs out loud. That’s cruel.I’m just doing exercise.

Okay.It’s time

I entered the shop

Yoshida-kun.Gufufufufu.why?

Nagisa-san’s still laughing.

Well.I have to warm up so I can move if needed

Even so, doing a radio exercise in front of the shop.Ahahahaha, so funny!

Nagisa-san holds my hand.

Thank you.I loosened up thanks to that

Saying that, she smiled towards me

Anyway.take a seat

Nagisa-san’s sitting in the back seat just as Margo-san said.

I sit by her side. If anyone ever shot a pistol from the doorway, I can set my body in-between to defend Nagisa-san. I thought that’s a necessity during this situation.

.Want to drink something?

Nagisa-san asked me.

.But

Sorry.It’s my first time in such a place

I don’t get what’s written on the menu.

Manhattanor Blue Hawaii. Sidecar, is that really a name of a drink?

Nagisa-san, what are you drinking?

Me?This is Moscow Mule

Yup, I can’t imagine the taste from the name.

Yoshida-kun’s not allowed to drink alcohol yet.Master, bring Moscow Muleto this boy and remove the vodka please

.Got it

The 50 year old master began to make something after saying that

He’s mixing two liquids.what?

Here’s your Moscow Mulewithout vodka

A glass was put before me

Drink it

Being urged by Nagisa-san who’s laughing fufufu.I took the glass to my mouth.

.How is it?

It doesn’t have the taste of alcohol.

.How should I say it?

It’s a bit sour, it feels like ginger ale.

Answering that, the old-man master laughed.

Clever.Moscow Mulewithout vodka is just lime juice mixed with ginger ale

.haa

It’s called Saratoga cooler This is also a non-alcohol cocktail

Nagisa-san laughs satisfied.

Let’s come to this bar again when we’re out of this situation. Should we go when Yoshida-kun’s of age, when you can drink alcohol? I’ll teach you all about delicious liquors!

.Okay There’s a fantastic bar in the grand hotel at the port. We’re going to drink there.then reserve a room for the night. I want to watch the beautiful night with you

Nagisa-san’s making such a talk.

Sorry about that.this isn’t a romantic shop

The master interrupts

I’m sorry for using this shop for a troublesome thing

When Nagisa-san said that to the master

I don’t mind.we’re a shop that suits it after all. Please use it without hesitation!

Then he laughed.

When I looked around the shop. There’s no other customer other than us.

There doesn’t seem to be a scout does it? Even though Yoshida-kun made such a performance in front of the shop, there’s no one who came.

Nagisa-san laughingly said.
