249 Shaved ice in a cafe

Today's temperature is 42 degrees, not to mention this hot day, and the sun is vigorously illuminating the world. I don't know whether I glorify the sun or mourn my imminent life, but the chorus of cicadas sounds more like a May fly than usual. When the temperature is as high as 42 degrees, sweat comes out from walking down the road. For this reason, even students who usually stop the kitchen and collar are often seen with the collar open and the chest wide open as usual. It doesn't leak to me, and I'm wearing a broken uniform more than usual.

Honestly, I don't feel like I'm attracting more attention than usual, but I don't want to be careful before this heat. As you walk thinking about where to rest for a while, you'll notice a small sign in the alley.

"Shaved ice"

When I went into the alley to be invited to feel cool with just letters, there was a small cafe there. The atmosphere in the shop is calm, and it is more like people who are a little older enjoy reading quietly than students hanging out.

When you open the door, the cool air in the store rubs your skin.

"Welcome. Are you alone?

"Yes"

"Please come to my counter seat."

The guided seat is glassy in front of you and has a sense of openness due to the view from outside. Grab the menu while taking care of the cozy atmosphere. There are many kinds of shaved ice that you are looking for, all of which seem delicious. I dared to make it a refreshing shaved ice and called the clerk.

"I will ask you for your order."

"Yogurt yuzu lemon shaved ice, please."

"Yogurt yuzu lemon shaved ice. Yes, sir."

Wait for the shaved ice while listening to the gentle BGM flowing in the store. Fluffy shaved ice is popular these days, but I actually buy a machine at home that can make such shaved ice, which is delicious, but I still have a different taste of what I get at the store. Incidentally, when making at home, her mother freezes alcohol, makes shaved ice, and eats it while drinking another alcohol. Mother says that freezing is healthy because it is low in number. I looked at this and thought seriously that it would be better if I stopped drinking once.

Thank you for waiting.

"Thank you."

When I thanked the clerk, I smiled nicely and skipped back.... he's a mess. When I put a spoon in the served shaved ice, it sounded crisp and light, and when I put it in my mouth, it added the refreshing sourness of lemon and the sweetness of yogurt, making it the perfect shaved ice for this hot and humid day.

As he poured his tongue on the shaved ice, he entrusted himself to a slow atmosphere. I noticed someone standing in front of the glass. Well, because such a beautiful boy is eating shaved ice in a café, it will be a picture. So there's nothing you can do to get people's eyes together. I saw someone standing outside trying to give you one of my smiles, even though I thought it was a hoax. And then I realized that my face had solidified in a strange way.

The person outside the store who was looking at us was someone I knew. But if I wanted to see him or not because I knew him, I would never want to see him. This person... is old enough, but his eyes and trunk are solid enough to feel his youthful energy. That person... Toyohiro Donghuain "Pono's grandfather" was staring at us.

... Could you turn back a few seconds ago? If you can, don't wake me up with all your love thoughts! I told you to concentrate on the shaved ice! I escaped such reality, but now I have a good eye for someone called "Don", the leader of the economy.

I can't stop sweating in a store that should be cool. Why are you staring at me? Is it okay to look away in the first place? Don't you think he's being rude or something? Should we be worried about the old man standing outside in this heat? The one with the black suit looks hot, too, but are you okay? Wait, I think of various words in my head, but they can't actually come out as words. By and large, this man is a man, so I don't think I can hope to take it easy.

After such a terrible time lasted for a few minutes, Shino's grandfather left.... no, what the hell was that? I held my heartbeat and breathed heavily. Well, I reclaimed my mind and put a spoon on the shaved ice again.... and at that moment, the bell rang to let the customer know.

I tremble at the sound. No, no way... I shake my imagination away. But why? There are signs that the person who should have come in is approaching me gradually. Your palpitations that should have subsided are once again intense. And that sign stops behind me.

Long time no see, Amber Kushino

How did you manage to talk to me....
