Chapter 1
(Ding-dong)
Yuzuru: Please excuse the intrusion, Ai-san.
Ai: As always, you're so conscientious.
Yuzuru: Because the fact that I'm intruding hasn't changed. I'm sorry for always coming by at such a late hour.
Ai: Aren't you coming here because it's late?
After finishing work, I often stay over at Ai-san's, whose place is close to Aporia. Today is one such day.
Yuzuru: May I borrow the kitchen?
Ai: Have you not eaten?
Yuzuru: No, today's staff meal was as delicious as ever.
I wasn't thinking of cooking, but making some herbal tea. I thought it'd be a good option since it's already nighttime, but would you prefer coffee instead?
Ai: Don't work even after leaving work.
Yuzuru: Ahaha, sorry. I just feel like drinking it, is all.
Yuzuru: (The teapot was definitely in this drawer......ah, he has new types of tea leaves.)
(This brand was the one I recommended to him before. I wonder if he took a liking to it.)
While preparing the tea in this kitchen I had come to know well, the soft sound of music suddenly started to play from within the room.
It seemed that Ai-san had put on one of the records he was so fond of.
Yuzuru: (I'm not familiar with it at all, but it's a nice song.)
Walking quietly so as not to disturb the gentle music, I carried the freshly-brewed herbal tea over to Ai-san.
Yuzuru: Here you are. I'll leave it here.
Ai: Thanks.
Ai-san raised the cup with a slower motion than usual and sipped it.
As if to imitate him, I also carefully sampled the still steaming herbal tea.
Ai: It really is different.
Yuzuru: Eh?
Ai: The taste. Compared to mine, your tea is many times more delicious.
When I made it myself, it tasted different to what I remembered, so I almost thought I had bought the wrong one.
From the way he was making jokes and his expression, which was softer than usual, I could tell that he was relaxed.
Yuzuru: I'll take that as a great compliment. As someone who works in a café, it's an honour to hear that.
Ai: Keep up the good work.
Yuzuru: Yes.
The conversation ended there, but the sound of the record continued to drift throughout the room.
It was that kind of time, after work.
