The Coffee Shop in a Different World Station

"Master Liberto! Why are you here..."

Sophia takes her seat up as she shows her unusual disturbance.

Libert then opened his mouth as he shifted his gaze toward Sophia.

"I had a meeting scheduled for today, so I was renting a private room upstairs here... Well, it doesn't seem like a mere coincidence."

That's what Libert says, staring at Hernando giggly.

That bitter look is unimaginable from the usual Libert.

Hernando, on the other hand, looks up at the Libert with a grin on his mouth.

And after sending his gaze up silently for a while, he slowly rose to his seat.

"Love is limited to freedom, that's what your brother always said, right?

"What, brother?

Sophia, surprised by Hernando's words, compares the two as she waves her head over and over.

Indeed, the two stands and atmosphere are very similar.

If you compare it this way, it doesn't seem surprising that they would say brothers.

But the verbal Libert distorts his mouth even more bitterly.

I'm not gonna let you call me brother.

"Why not? Brother Liberto is definitely your cousin, because he will be my mother's brother's son from his own point of view, right? Well, shall we sit down once? I don't think it would be nice for your brother to get too much attention around you."

In response to Hernando, who spoke with pleasure, Liberto sat down on the chair in such a manner as reluctance while sending a sharper gaze.

As Sophia also sits back to it, she speaks to both Liberto and Hernando as she holds her temples down with a top-down addition and subtraction.

"The situation hasn't swallowed up yet due to such a sudden development. In the meantime, could you explain one thing at a time?

"Then let me explain it to you. Hernando's right, my father and Hernando's mother split the blood, which means me and Hernando will be cousins."

"Was I? If you two are very similar in the street...... Does that mean that Hernando will also be with the Alvarez family?

"But it's not... No, you're right to say it's not anymore. My mother died when I was a little girl, and then my father stripped me of the proverbial family name I lost to politics. Young Hernando was dropped from the aristocracy to the general public."

"I thought I told you to stop saying those things. Hernando's father was banished on charges of trading fraud. Sometimes his mother was dead, and Hernando is also right that he is no longer a member of the Alvarez family. In other words, don't take the form of being a cousin in blood, but not actually recognized as a family line."

"Oh yeah...... That's a pretty complicated pattern..."

I don't know how to write words and Sophia clogs the words.

Then Hernando continued the conversation at his usual frank pace.

"It's not so. Well, I was allergic to my father, but in the end, that's what my father deserved too. Thanks to this, I was able to see and hear in the wider world, and I was able to cross the ocean on my own as a second-class navigator."

"... you've had a hard time. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Well, it made me go around a lot, and I honestly had a lot of hard feelings, but I still think it was a good experience now. Regardless of the talent you were born with, I think you could do more work than just someone on a laid rail, right?

Hernando sends his gaze to the Libert as he lifts the corner of his mouth.

Libert then moved his eyebrows pickly before opening his mouth quietly.

"What the hell are you trying to say?

"As Lord Sophia's partner, this Hernando is the one who deserves it. So, Brother Liberto, can you pull this place off yourself?

"What!?

Sophia opens her eyes wide to Hernando's words.

From beside it, now Liberto hit Hernando with words with a low voice that tried to contain his emotions.

"Well, it looks like you've only grown your mouth a lot before we see each other for a while. But that wish is not going to be heard. Because Sophia decides I'm your partner in life together."

"Li, even Master Liberto!?

"But you said you were engaged. Then I guess it's limited to Brother Liberto's" Love is Freedom ". Sure, Lord Sophia doesn't seem to hate Brother Liberto, but if the order we met was the other way around, wouldn't you have known? Lord Sophia, what do you think?

"Well, Lord Sophia, did you have feelings for me to that extent?

Sophia, who is swayed by the two of them and shuts up for a while.

In the first place, they are very similar to each other, unlike their cousins.

Hernando is right, there is no denying the possibility that if I had met Hernando sooner than I met Liberto, I would have been attracted to my heart.

But that wasn't actually the case, and the feeling of intimacy about Liberto is real.

My head gets sorted out with a little free time.

Then, gradually, an unspeakable moya sprang up in my heart.

After a lot of silence, Sophia utters her words as she looks to the two of them.

"... I don't know! Dear Hernando, I have trouble being told the hypothetical story! Besides, Master Liberto is the one who doubts my feelings, is that right?

"Ugh..." "Well, that's..."

To Sophia, who shows a fierce sword curtain, the twisted two.

But Sophia's anger won't subside

"In the first place, aren't you both mistaken? It's up to me to choose my life partner! I'm glad you both feel like it, but I'm in trouble if you decide on your own!

"Gu..." "No..."

To the utmost honesty, neither of us will say two words.

Then Sophia began to bite the Libert, as she remembered.

"In the first place, isn't it hard to move on because Master Liberto won't live up to his' promise 'then! Or have you forgotten what you promised then?

"Yes, no, of course I haven't forgotten..."

They bring up old testimonies and sweat on Libert's forehead.

Hernando, hooked to the atmosphere, threw a question at Sofia.

"Hmm? Was Lord Sophia and Brother Liberto making any 'promises'?

"Yes, once Master Liberto has cooked a dish that will satisfy me, my grandmother will officially allow me to socialize. Master Liberto, when the hell are you going to cook that dish?

"Ugh... But something's happened here lately..."

"When you were injured, I gave you the food, didn't I? You haven't even paid me back yet, have you?

Riverto is on the defensive side of Sofia, who goes on offense all the time.

And Hernando, who was watching that interaction, breaks in between the two just because this is the chance.

"I see, I understand the story. Lord Sophia, if I may, may I join you in that challenge?

"What? And you say?

"So he wants me to give Lord Sophia the opportunity to 'cook'. And if I can satisfy Lord Sophia before Brother Liberto, I would love to socialize with me then."

"Wait, isn't that a good interrupt for your body?

Liberto immediately contests Hernando bringing up the proposal.

But Hernando also returned the word without losing.

"As far as Lord Sophia's concerned, isn't it Brother Liberto who hasn't fulfilled his promise? I'm not trying to force you to take anything away Lord Sophia. I'm just saying I want a chance to fight squarely on the same mound."

"... it certainly makes sense what Hernando says."

"Lord Sophia!?

Libert turns his face in a panic to the words Sophia pounded and spilled.

Sophia then turned to the front and opened her teasing mouth after staring seriously into Liberto's eyes.

"Let's do this, then. Just tomorrow, we are supposed to have a meeting with Master Liberto on this' swordfish ', so please prepare a' dish 'for me on the spot. The judges will choose me, Lord Liberto and Hernando, who have made my heart more satisfied. Lady Hernando, would you like this?

"Of course. It's rather an honor to have a valuable opportunity"

Hitting one gavel at Hernando with a smile on his face, Sophia looks firmly into Libert's eyes again and speaks up.

"Master Liberto will keep his promise then, won't he?

"It has taken an unexpected form, but this is also due to my immorality. If this happens, let me fulfill the promise I made back then."

A relaxed Liberto nods loudly and responds to Sophia's words.

Sophia, who saw the appearance, continued the conversation with a grin on her mouth.

"Now, when you do, you just have to step aside. Uh, I'm gonna take care of Takumi again."

When I call Nyarch, who was in the hall with that crush, by invitation, I ask him to call Takumi.

Takumi, who came under the three after losing so much, shook her head vertically at the explanation from Sofia.

"I understand the circumstances. We know if you can handle it at the time of booking. But when it comes to comparing your two dishes, shouldn't you decide on something like a theme? For example, if one of you prepared a gallator (cookie) and the other prepared a paella (paella), I know it would be quite difficult to compare these two…"

"Maybe if you ask me. Thank you. How about the theme… 'Something like food going on even on a hot day'? Actually, it's a bit of a summer butterfly in this heat."

Sophia sends her gaze to both of them as she pells her tongue out.

Then, while they gave a dodgy look for a moment, it was time for them to agree.

"Well, that's settled. Takumi, I'm sorry to bother you again, but thank you very much."

"Yes, I did. Please let us know if you have the necessary preparations, both for Liberto and Hernando"

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I'd like another cooking guide. What about Hernando?

"No, I'll ask the chef of the Violetta myself. This is a battle, and it wouldn't be funny if we could figure out each other's palms, would it?

"So is that. So, there's no forgiveness tomorrow, is there?

"Brother Liberto is the best you can do."

Two people scattering sparks quickly.

Next to it, Sophia was wandering her gaze with a worried look on her face somewhere.
