Oh, there she is.
Kohane!
Sorry I'm late.
That's okay. We know how long it takes to get here from Miya Girls.
What he said. Thanks for coming, Kohane.
Of course.
Then, let's get going.
Hey, this cafe looks pretty nice.
Great choice, Akito.
At the same time, it feels a little strange to eat at a cafe that doesn't belong to either MEIKO or your dad, An.
True. We do generally end up going to one or the other.
We wanted a change of pace, right? So, it wouldn't mean much to go to our usual hangouts.
Yeah... Anyway, Kohane, let's see what's on the menu.
Okay. Hmm... I wonder what's recommended here.
The pasta set.
They make fresh pasta here, and the flour they use is—
What is it...?
Why do you all look so surprised?
No, it's just... You always get pancakes and stuff. Pasta feels totally out of left field.
Just what do you think I am exactly...?
The pancake monster.
Geez...
You're making me sound like some selfish jerk who forces everyone to go where he wants.
Sorry, Akito...
We know you put a lot of thought into this.
Wait, you're taking their side?
Haha! It's totally off brand-for you!
Huh?
Hehehe.
Thank you for your patience!
Who had the pasta with meat sauce, extra cheese and a soft-boiled egg on top?
Oh, me!
Wait, you got toppings...?
Whoa, check it out!
There's so much cheese that it's completely covering up the meat sauce!
It's so white that it's camouflaging the egg.
Hehe. I can't wait to see your orders.
Alright, that's everyone.
So...
Let's eat!
Let's eat.
Whew! I'm stuffed!
Hehe. We did end up ordering dessert.
Yes. And the roasted tea cake you recommended was very good, Akito.
Glad to hear it.
(She didn't seem as energetic as usual when we met up earlier...)
Next time, we gotta come for just dessert! I saw a section of the menu that was just parfaits!
Oh, you can apparently make your own custom parfaits with the fruits you want and everything.
Thank goodness...
Shiraishi and Azusawa seem to be feeling much better now.
Yeah...
Speaking of which, Akito...
Hm?
Thanks for inviting us out today!
Thank you, Shinonome.
Coming here was a great change of pace.
That's all good.
I mean, I needed a break just as much as you guys.
So, see you tomorrow.
Okay! See you tomorrow!
