After finishing lunch, Nanase and I went to a store in the same chain as the one we work at to have tea.
Even though it’s the same chain, the interior of the store is quite different from the one we work at. The warm-colored wood should be very soothing, but…
Ever since we entered this store, everyone’s eyes have been on us. Well, Nanase’s appearance naturally attracts attention.
Nanase didn’t seem to mind the stares and was elegantly drinking her coffee.
“You don’t mind the stares?”
“Well, it’s not very pleasant, but I try not to mind it.”
Indeed, even at school, the boys look at her as if she were a work of art.
She is cold to everyone, doesn’t get along with anyone, and just sticks to her aloofness. That’s Nanase Rei at school.
“Besides, I don’t think these stares are directed at me alone.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
“You’re more popular than you think. It’s just that no one talks to you because you always look so scary.”
I think that applies to Nanase as well…
Actually, I’ve never heard that I’m popular.
“Don’t be swayed by the other girls, or I’ll be very sad.”
“Yeah.”
“Absolutely.”
“…Yeah.”
I felt a kind of overwhelming pressure.
Scary…I’ll be careful.
Just as I made that vow to myself, someone spoke to me.
“Minato sama?”
I recognized the girl holding a coffee cup and looking at me.
“I never thought I’d see you here…..what a coincidence, Yui chan.”
Tsukishiro Tsukishiro, Kiryu Kanata’s personal maid. For some reason, she addresses me with honorifics as if I were her master’s friend.
“It’s been a while, Minato sama. My master is always grateful for your kindness.”
“I’m the one who owes Kanata a lot.”
Nanase is giving off an intense aura.
She seemed to be saying, “You broke our promise right away, didn’t you?”
I wanted to end this quickly because it was scary.
“Is Kanata not here?”
“Yes, I’m alone today. My master is…out as usual.”
Her expression was somehow dark and lonely as she spoke.
We’re talking about him. He was probably on another date with her.
“By the way, Minato sama, why are you with Nanase san?”
Well, I guess it’s natural to ask.
But it’s not good to make this public yet. I’ll just brush it off for now.
“Oh, she just happened to be here—”
As I tried to make up an excuse, Nanase spoke before me.
“I am his…Ichijo Minato’s fiancée.”
She declared it boldly to her,
What should I do in this situation…
