The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

"So this is a matter of mutual agreement, okay?

In the cabin of the "Violetta", Hernando presents a written statement over the table.

It was one young woman who received it.

Sophia, shining interpersonal jazz in the second-class navigator's office, which exudes a heavy elegance of what is being held back by flashfulness, received a written statement from Hernando while offering the written statement at her disposal.

"Sure, fine. So now you're signing it."

When ink is included in the fountain pen that was even provided on the table, Sophia signs the writing in a manner she is accustomed to.

When Hernando, who sits across the street, also signs the writing he was given at hand, he exchanged the letters again and wrote the signatures again on each of them.

"Now that's good. No, I was able to achieve great results this time. Thank you very much, Lord Sophia, the famous banker."

"Thank you, Hernando, for making a very good deal. But it's rare that Hernando, a second-class navigator, is also in charge of trade."

"What, it just so happens. By the way, Lord Sophia, the signing process came to an end as soon as possible, but after this, what are you planning to do?

"Uh, I have a dinner appointment with this business partner this evening, but we still have some time. But what are you doing?

"Right. So, if you don't mind, can't we just hope to hang out with you one more time? No, actually, there's a store I really like about this one, and I'd love to bring you Lord Sophia."

"Oh, it's wonderful that you found your obsessive store that far. I don't mind if we talk like that. Please let me come with you."

"Thank you, then I'll have the carriage ready quickly. I'd like to take a moment."

When Hernando smiles at him, he opens one of the caps of the voice tubes lining the wall and gives instructions to arrange a carriage.

(If you try this, you look a lot like Master Liberto...)

Sophia unconsciously chases Hernando with her eyes, feeling the shadow of a thinker in his frivolous appearance.

Then, noticing that gaze, Hernando turned with a smile.

"Hmm? Something?

"Yes, no. Excuse me. No, if you try this, you'll look a lot like someone I know well. It's just like standing and behaving and tricks."

"Hmm, that's Lord Sophia's lover...... no, or my fiancée or something?

Hernando cuts all the way in while making it stand aside.

Then Sophia's cheeks stained red with a poke of surprise.

"Yes, no, that doesn't mean I'm still your fiancée..."

"I see. Then, so far, we saw it as a phase where we thought of each other. I'm so proud of you, Lord Sophia."

"Well, Master Hernando. I'm happy to compliment you."

"No, no, it's not flattery or anything. It's just a great honor to be so close to the up-and-coming female banker (bunker) Lord Sophia Marimaid, who combines beauty and talent. Looks like the carriage's ready. Okay, here you go."

Hernando returns a word to the ready voice heard from his voice tube and gently reaches out to Sophia, who tries to get up.

Sophia softly laid her own hands on its graceful and elegant tricks, dogged without a pattern.

―――――

"Welcome! Oh, Mr. Sophia, it's been a long time!

The shop that was led by Hernando was the "swordfish", a coffee shop that Sofia also knew well.

Upon entering the store, Nyarch, who noticed Sophia's appearance, greets her with a cheerful voice, as usual.

"Nyarch, it's been a while. I thought you were feeling better.

"Nyarch is always well!

"Oh, did Lord Sophia know about this shop?"

Hernando gives a surprised look when he sees himself in Sofia talking intimately to Nyarch.

Then Sophia turned around and began seeding Hernando.

"There was a carriage headed for the station, so I thought maybe. We've always been close to Takumi and Nyachi, the masters here."

"Was it to the left? No, I took you to this store to surprise you, but apparently it was me who surprised you."

It looks like it was a play somewhere, and Hernando makes an exaggerated gesture.

To its funny appearance, Sophia gave me a grin when she creaked.

Then Takumi just arrived there.

Takumi bows her head to the appearance of two familiar customers.

"This has been a long time, Master Sophia. And Master Hernando was welcome. It's another rare companionship between you two."

"Yes, I was guided by Hernando because of his work."

"It's good that I thought this' swordfish 'was the only way to show you a nice woman, but Lord Sophia seemed to know this one better than I do. No, it doesn't work when you're trying to dress up."

"Was that so? Excuse me for not showing you to your seat. Unfortunately, the upstairs private rooms are filled today, so I'll show you in the hall on the ground floor, would you mind?

"Oh well. No, I couldn't help but stop by without making an appointment. I don't mind, Lord Sophia, but can I have it on the first floor?

Sophia shows hernando's words for a moment.

Because where Hernando and I are, I felt a little awkward in case I ran into Libert.

I hear that the promised day every two months is tomorrow, and indeed I plan to visit this Harpertown today.

If you are going to visit Harpertown on the final train, it was well thought out to take a dose on this' swordfish '.

Nevertheless, it would also be rude to come this far and say no without going down.

I'm sure it's all right, Sophia, who reconsidered that she would understand, took a moment before accepting Hernando's offer.

"I don't mind either. Can I show you to your seat, then?

"Yes, I did. Then Nyarch, take the two of you to your seats over there."

"Yes. Nah. Now, if you'd like to show me around."

The two laughed in a cheerful voice as they headed to the window seat near the counter.

―――――

"Thank you for waiting. I brought you two iced coffee. And this is a thank you to both of you for taking care of me every day."

Takumi, who has carried the order's iced coffee, arranges a small bowl of glass before the two of them. When they glanced at it in time, there were two translucent spherical things in it.

The surface is soggy wet. It's cool to see, and one of them has something orange on it, and the other has a light green thing visible through it.

Both Hernando and Sophia breathed in the beauty.

"This is great again. It's such a shame to eat."

"Really, you'll be amazed when you come to the depths of Mr. Takumi's drawer. What the hell is this one like today?

While thanking Hernando and Sophia for their praise, Takumi began explaining this cool sweetness.

"This will be a treat called 'Water Manju'. The translucent ones around are refined with sugar added to the single chestnut flour. What's inside is puree of mango in orange, and kibis (kiwi) in green in the same way. It's chilled, so please keep eating."

"Thank you. So I'll have it soon."

"Right. I'll have it, Takumi."

"Welcome and thank you for everything. All right, take your time."

The two take the spoon as they drop off Takumi, who returns to the kitchen in a courtesy.

Hernando stopped his hand for a moment and sent his gaze to Sophia's hand, making sure she plugged the spoon into the orange one and moved the spoon towards the green one herself.

I imagined it was like a heratina (jelly) from the look of it, but the feeling coming from the spoon is solid in addition to my thoughts.

Rather than "Prune," it is a "mochi", sticky image.

The two men, who had spooned the split water manju in half, raised their faces for a moment and exchanged their gazes before transporting them to their mouths.

"Wow!" "Well!

Words of admiration leak out of their mouths.

The water mandarin in your mouth is soft everywhere, and the texture is so glossy that it sucks snugly.

Sensual stimulation was something that made me feel very comfortable.

And the taste is quite interesting.

The area around me is quite sweet, and the sweet and sour taste of the puree inside spreads all over my mouth in contrast to it.

The grace of the summer sun is abundant from the puree of orange mango, and the refreshing acidity of green quibis seems to excite the mind.

And when the water manju goes through his throat, it feels comfortably cold - falling all the way into his stomach.

This coolness, which cools the body that lit up in the summer sun, is also a unique treat for this time of year.

Sophia indulges in the watermantle with a luscious look on her face.

Hernando was grinning again at that happy look.

"That's really nice."

"Right. Takumi's food and confectionery are always great, but today they are great for the time being."

"No, no, it's not. The water of Lord Takumi is wonderful, of course, but the nice thing is your smile. It would make you happy to have something delicious and have a happy look with Lord Sophia."

"Oh, my God, another compliment? But I'm glad you said so."

"I'm not flattered. If you don't have someone in mind, I'd love to run as a partner."

Sophia was feeling her cheeks dyed red before Hernando, who laughed furiously.

Though I'm thinking of Libert now, I don't feel bad about being favored straight like this.

If I had met Hernando before Liberto, I might have been more attracted to him..., thinking of that, I took a sip of iced coffee to cool off my lit cheeks before returning the words.

"Thank you very much. I'm really glad you complimented someone as nice as Hernando."

"No, no, I mean it for you, don't I? If it's really pre-engagement, I'd still like to be named as a candidate for a partner. I know it's a step ahead of me, but I'd like to have a chance if I can. Lord Sophia, what do you say?

Hitting and changing earlier, Hernando's expression is serious in itself.

From that sharp gaze, his passion was conveyed grumpy.

To Hernando's extra force, Sophia loses the word to return.

Then, from behind Sophia, I heard a man who sounded familiar, yet made me feel low and pressured.

"Well, can I take that as a declaration of war against me?

"Li, Master Liberto!

What was captured in Sophia's eyes, who looked back in haste, was the appearance of a sharp glaring Libert.
