Reijou Wa Mattari Wo Goshomou Volume 1 Chapter 6 Part2

Thank you to Xynnic-san, LycheeauLait-san, Sytonsan and Seiysan :3 Since Seiysan did not include any note, I'll interpret that's for Rhonyan? ‘w' Thank you much to fellow supporters and readers.

A post of clumsy Rhonyan which I could understand! *shy*

Returning to my seat by the counter, I sip the leftover coffee. Thinking back on what I talked with grandfather about, my brother's face came to mind.

Clatter clatter, the sound of the cup shaking due to my hands.

The Rotos turned teary, looking at me worriedly.

"…I'm fine… He can't find me.."

Although I was not sure, but I don't think he will continue looking for me until now. He would think it's useless to do so and quickly gave up.

"If the time comes, please let me stay at the spirit's forest alright?" The Rotos responded with a weak smile. They then cuddled close to me. Looks like they are trying to comfort me. Soft like marshmallows, with a slight elasticity and a sweet fragrance, which heals me thoroughly.

"Thank you, everyone… Alright! Then, let's finish up the Berryva cake!" as I change my mood and straightened my back. Cheerfully saying so, the Rotos smiled. They all come down the table with a 'Waa' altogether.

The cakes for sale today are almost ready before we had breakfast, all that's left is the Berryva cheesecake. I had requested a favor from the Rotos to gather some Berryvas some time ago, but since I was unsure about the amount needed, I asked them to continue on gathering them for me. After finally gathering enough of it, I added the Berryva cheesecake into the menu today. And I plan to share a whole Berryva cake to the Rotos for all the hard work they did. Together with those for sale, I made a total of 3 whole Berryva cakes.

The Berryvas, red like raspberries. Although it's in season right now, it's a fairly high priced fruit in this world and unless one is a wealthy n.o.ble, it would be hard to obtain them. So I'm sure the customers would love it. And since the Berryvas are sweeter than strawberries, I intent to mix it with the raspberry sauce which retained their sourness. The Rotos who were taste testing the raspberry sauce stiffened and shivered to its sourness, which made me laugh.

Whilst enjoying working on it, the Berryva cheesecake are successfully completed. A special menu just for today. The other cake for sale today are the fruit tart and fondant chocolat topped with plenty of fruits. Writing the cake menu down on the blackboard, I then displayed it outside the shop.

Before long, the Rotos then returned home, and it suddenly came to mind.

"Friends.." Speaking of friends, what came to mind were Henzel and Lexy, the two who I am closest with at the Academy. Henzel who's helping out with his family's merchant business and away from the Academy, and Lexy who is currently overseas. I sent letters to them saying that my dreams came true and to not worry about me, but maybe they still worry about me.

In truth, I would like to let them know once again that I'm living well right now but, thinking about how my brother and Schneider is looking for me, I thought it would be better to not contact them yet. Although it is unthinkable that they will expose my location but one does not know how it may be leaked out… How I wish we could have a casual talk… What a convenient tool a hand phone is my previous world…

I wonder if I could make friends here just like Henzel and Lexy. Thinking back, I had never personally reached out to make friends… Friends.. how do you make them? Whilst thinking of such things, Café Mattari is now open.

After a while, the customer who came in was the owner of the accessory shop.

"Good morning, Rhonychan"

"My, good morning to you. It has been a while"

After what happened with the Demis, he stopped coming to the café and I had thought we won't be coming back anymore—

"If I don't drink the coffee Rhonychan brews, I'm not energized, so, can I have a cup of coffee please?" and so he said in a somehow embarra.s.sed tone. Happy with his words, I nodded with a smile.

The cakes were more popular today, as the female customers' eyes lighted up choosing among the cakes. As expected, everyone was happy about how 'I'm so happy I could easily obtain a Berryva cake to eat'. At the time when the café had calmed down, a female customer called out.

"Thank you for the food! It was very delicious!" She was wearing a light pink frill dress with a striped beige pink corset paired with a short pants, which was a very unique coordination.

There is not many females In this world who wears short pants, even I who casually wears them in my previous world had stopped now.

The customer wore a black colored long boots which eludes a fashion of coolness within sweetness. Her long and beautiful Chartreuse (yellow-green) hair tie weaved together with a white ribbon. She, a regular customer, always came with a stylish outfit. I courageously called out back to her.

"Your hair is lovely too today"

"Nn? Thanks-!" She put up a big grin and held the cup of latte to her lips.

… I wonder if she is around the same age as me? Asking her name, she happily laughed with a 'fufu'.

"My brother did my hair~"

Her brother, did her hair…?

I turned dumbfounded hearing her say so, since my brother never did my hair. Or holding hands together, or playing together, or even have a casual talk with each other.

"…What a skillful and lovely brother you have"

"Yup-! And very kind!" As she boasts about her brother and replied with a cheerful voice. How charming.

"….Uhm… If I may know your name—"

"Ah! Does Tenchou-san have any siblings?" My question interrupted, I blinked. Huh, your name…

"…Uhm, yes. A brother. But you could say we are not close, I guess"

"Eh-? Really? If I were Tenchou-san's sister, I would've wanna touched your hair~ Tenchou-san always has the same hairstyle right?"

….While not being able to hear her name, the conversation continued on. Although I hoped to ask again, I do not know the timing to.

"I woulda like to see it down~"

"Since it would be a hindrance while I'm working in the kitchen"

"What a waste! Such beautiful hair.." As she said so, she finished the cup of latte. Then took out her wallet and left the exact amount of payment on the table.

"Thank for the food! See you again Tenchou-san!" Leaving her seat, her braided hair swayed and exited the café whilst her boots make a heavy sound.

…In the end, I could not ask her name..

Changing my mood, I continued my work. After, I tried asking several other female customers but I didn't succeed in asking their names too.. It's not going well. While I could not ask their names, I wonder how am I to make friends with them?

Involuntarily leaking out a sigh, the doorbell rang with a cling clang.
