However, compared to seeing her at the school gate, seeing her here after two years might be a good start for a reunion. As for the violin...

Because he remembered many past experiences with Huang Lizhi, Taki Yi didn't pay much attention to the conversation between those two people.

"Hello, this is what you asked for, please use it slowly."

The waiter in the cafe brought the pastries he ordered not long ago. When he leaned down, he would unconsciously rest his crystal pupils on Takiichi's face.

This kind of sight has already existed since the moment he entered the store and met the staff at the front desk.

However, Takiichi was used to such gazes, so he naturally ordered his favorite dessert and found a corner to sit down.

From the window here, if you raise your chin slightly, you can see the broad road across the road, and a school is located in your field of vision.

"Jeonju Geyoung Middle School..."

The fonts, which will emit dazzling light under the scorching sun, are carved on the thick marble.

Takiichi told himself again and again that that was Reishi's school.

At the same time, a feeling of "I'm finally here" turned into a breath of turbid air and was spit out.

That feeling of relief.

Comparing this cafe with the ones I have seen in Tokyo in the past, it is generally built in a similar style.

Although it is a very high-end place, the desserts and drinks in the store are very cheap.

It seems to be in response to the fact that students do not have a stable income, and they want to completely turn this group into a source of customers that can bring in store income at any time.

So the matcha-flavored cake, which is just a bit thicker, only costs 3,000 won per serving.

"Thanks..."

Putting down the magazine in his hand, Taki raised his head and smiled politely.

However, just when he was about to pick up the fork to taste it, the carbonated soda that was placed on the table caught his attention.

Takiichi has a habit of not drinking carbonated drinks. This preference has been developed since he was very young.

Everyone around him knows that he likes oolong tea the most, so no matter where he goes, if oolong tea is not available, he will settle for some juice or yogurt as a substitute.

Only carbonated drinks, which are most popular among young people, are not considered.

It's just...momo and her close friends all like this without exception.

"Sorry, I don't seem to have... ordered this."

Taki put down the fork in his hand, stared at the cup with small bubbles rolling upwards, and said something.

"This is a gift from our store."

The waitress in work clothes replied, while she slowly hooked the hair in front of her ears behind her ears, and explained in an extremely gentle and polite voice.

"Because you only ordered a cake and not a drink, I made my own decision. I apologize if I made you unhappy."

Taki knew that maybe his inadvertent frown made the other person feel a little nervous and burdened.

Just like before, it seemed to others that he was in a daze at certain times, but in fact his emotions were fluctuating violently.

I have learned to always maintain an expression on my face no matter what happens, so it is difficult to see an expression with extremely large skin movements on my face.

"That's it." Takiichi chuckled softly, picked up the cup, and suddenly stretched it forward as if hesitating for a while.

"In that case, shall I buy you a drink? I will pay for it, which is a way of supporting your attentiveness and work."

"Guilty?" The sudden "counterattack" caused two seductive blushes to appear on the waitress's face.

She wanted to refuse, but there was another determination deep in her heart that could not be refused.

"Thank you...please use it slowly."

Picking up the glass of soda, the waitress left with small steps.

Staring at the matcha cake in front of him, Takiichi fell into thinking for a long time.

To others, he seemed to be in a daze at this moment, but in fact he was extremely sensitive to the surrounding sights, so that the emotions in his body were fluctuating intensely.

"Taki-san...this is for you."

"Hey! I didn't say I wanted to eat cake. I don't like things that are too sweet and can easily gain weight."

"It doesn't matter. You can leave the unfinished portion to me, Taki-san. Besides, if the dessert shop doesn't sell desserts, what do they sell?"

I vaguely remembered the first time Sakura and I stayed at a dessert shop in downtown Tokyo. The cake that was served in front of me at that time was a cake with this flavor.

Although the appearance is different, it seems that from that time on, I no longer resist sweets.

Ah~~ It should be said that anyone who is kissed by the girl he likes with her creamy lips will remember that feeling, right?

It's... sweet to the core, the lipstick that Sakura often wears.

Mixed with matcha-flavored cream, Takiichi tried to use various words to express that feeling in words over the years, but all ended in failure until they broke up.

"I didn't expect that after breaking up with Sakura, I would taste cakes of this flavor alone in a foreign country."

I can hardly remember how long it has been since I last set foot in a dessert shop, if you include the last time I met Hitomi Honda at the Starbucks near Hachiko Station.

However, at that time, I also ate the strawberry that the girl tried to feed me, right?

When all kinds of girls have the slightest entanglement with themselves, the "connection" of desserts is always indispensable.

This is obviously the most irresistible temptation for women as a group.

In order to enjoy the short-term deliciousness, high-calorie sweets that are sweet to the stomach, even if it will make you gain weight later.

Taki smiled softly, used a small plastic fork to score a small piece on the edge of the cake and put it into his mouth. When Taki realized that his mood had entered a new starting point.

"Hey...Taki-san, do you know?

I once thought that if I didn't become an artist, I would work hard to make money when I grew up, and then use my savings to open a dessert shop in the most prosperous area of ​​Tokyo."

Takiichi spent his fifteenth birthday in a dessert shop in Kyoto.

When Sakura ordered a birthday cake from the store called "Pink Dy", she also chose to arrange the celebration place there.

It was at that time, facing the table full of various desserts, Takiichi sighed deeply.

I probably thought that after eating these things, I would work harder to exercise in the future.

However, he still didn't finish those sweets.

From the time when I met Sakura, became the person who understood each other best, and then became lovers.

The two parties gradually developed a rare tacit understanding on the issue of sweets.

Every time when tasting a cake, Sakura would first scrape off all the cream surrounding the top and sides, and eat it clean bit by bit, and then Takiichi would eat the bread inside the cream.

Just counting from the year they started dating, Takiichi and Sakura have visited almost all the dessert shops in Tokyo and Kyoto.

They will always collect and follow the latest dessert shops opened in the two cities on their mobile phones, trying to make themselves among the first customers to visit.
Chapter completed!
