<A bakery that sells good apple pies?>

<Yes, Ms. Mochizuki... I mean, my housekeeper... She likes apple pies very much, so I was thinking that we could have some together the next time she came over.>

<That's a great idea! I'm sure Honami's gonna really love it when she hears that you bought them for her, K.>

<Gimme one second. I remember writing down the names of some really good places that sell apple pies and tarts.>

<Yeah, I think I know a good place too. Lemme look it up!>

<Okay. Thank you both very much.>

<Aha! Found it... Okay, this specialty shop on Main Street's gotta be my top recommendation!>

<Yeah, that place! I've had their apple pie before! It was sooo good!>

<A specialty shop...? I had no idea...>

<They seem to get a lot of repeat customers because you get to choose how cinnamon-y the crust is, and if you want cocoa powder and other stuff on it!>

<They only use the best ingredients, and you can buy ones that are fresh out of the oven.>

<Lemme post the URL in chat.

Here...!>

<Thank you, Enanan.>

<Oh wow...

These look delicious... Oh...>

<Is something the matter, K?>

<The picture of the bag they have on their website... It looks familiar...>

<I think Ms. Mochizuki brought some apple pies over from this shop before.>

<Darn. I guess it's only natural for an apple pie lover like her to know about this shop.>

<Hmm... If that's the case, she might know about all of the other shops in town.>

<You kinda want to surprise her with an apple pie from a place she's never been to before, right?>

<Yeah... Alright, then, how about this one?>

<It just opened up by the station, and everyone's talking about how crispy they make their crusts!>

<I'll take a look. Let's see...>

<Oh... We had some together from this shop just last week...>

<Grr... Strike two!

I'll admit, she is quick.>

<K, how about here?

It's inside the shopping mall...>

<That's every apple pie shop in Shibuya...>

<Yeah... Honami definitely knows her stuff...>

<Sorry, K, I wish we could actually help...>

<No, that's okay. If anything, I should be the one apologizing for making you two look up all these shops...>

<But I really appreciate you finding them for me since I couldn't remember the names of some of these places despite having their apple pies.>

<I'll try buying some from the first shop you showed me.>

<Again, thank you both very much.>

<You're welcome♪>

<I hope Honami likes what you get for her.>

<Me too.>

Thank goodness I was able to buy these apple pies...

I was worried that they'd sell out after seeing that massive line coming out of the store.

Oh, that ended up taking longer than I was expecting. I should get home before Ms. Mochizuki arrives.

Hm...?

Hm? Ms. Yoisaki?

Were you out just now?

Yes, I was out buying something.

Buying... Oh...!

That bag. It's from the apple pie shop on Main Street, yes? Were you out buying...?

Hehe. Yes, some of their apple pies.

You're always doing so much for me, so I thought that I could give back to you somehow today.

No, you didn't need to do that...!

I'm just doing my job.

That may be so, but I can't thank you enough for always cooking delicious food and cleaning my room for me.

...!

Ms. Yoisaki...

So, let's have some of these apple pies together when it's snack time.

Yes, I'd love to.
