Ren Often Visits This Café!

After entering Angel Cafe and making sure Fumino hadn't arrived yet, Ren felt relieved and found a conspicuous place to sit.

Ren glanced at the time and decided that it was only 8:45 in the morning. As per his own habit, he ordered a cup of coffee and started waiting leisurely.

He and Fumino had made plans to meet at 9:00 AM, so he could use this time to do something else.

For example, check if anyone had sent him a message.

Hayasaka Ai: [Now three game companies have partnered with us.]

Kamikawa Ren: [I'm really bothering you.]

Hayasaka Ai: [It's okay, I'll help you arrange the comic exhibition as soon as possible.]

Kamikawa Ren: [Alright, may I ask how long it will take to organize this comic exhibition?]

Now that Miku had given him the gift, Ren also wanted to give her the gift he had prepared.

Hayasaka Ai: [Based on the current progress, plus the time needed for publicity, it will take at least two weeks before the War Countries Comic Exhibition can be held normally.]

Hayasaka Ai: [If slower, it may take another month for the initial preparations.]

Kamikawa Ren: [Two weeks? Won't the summer vacation be almost over by then?]

Now that the summer vacation is already halfway through, there's no time left at all.

Hayasaka Ai: [... Compared to renovating the villa, the time required to hold the comic exhibition is already very fast.]

Kamikawa Ren: [Does it take a long time to renovate the villa?]

He didn't know much about this.

Hayasaka Ai: [According to my initial prediction, it will take at least two months to complete the villa renovation according to your needs.]

Hayasaka Ai: [Of course, this is just my prediction. The actual transformation might be faster.]

"Two months."

Seeing the message, Ren repeated this crucial moment with a low voice.

This is too long.

Fumino was the first person to give him a gift, but she has to wait two months before he can return the favor, isn't this unfair?

Just when Ren was thinking if there's any way to accelerate the transformation progress, he got inspired and suddenly remembered some very important information.

"Furuhashi Fumino's birthday is October 23."

That's the news Fumino got when he asked about her birthday.

"Her birthday is in two months, and the transformation will take two months..."

If that's the case, isn't it the perfect time?

Kamikawa Ren: [It's okay, it will take two months to renovate the villa without any problems.]

He already knows what he should give to Fumino on her birthday.

Hayasaka Ai: [Okay. Then I will try my best to help you speed up the progress of some comic exhibitions. Y

Kamikawa Ren: [Thank you.]

They continued to chat briefly about other topics, and Hayasaka ended the conversation with him because she had other business.

After checking back on messages from others to make sure he didn't miss any news, Ren put away his phone.

At this moment, Fumino happened to enter the cafe.

Different from her usual long hair, today she tied her hair into twin ponytails with a white cotton hair tie, letting both ponytails hang naturally in front of her shoulders.

Of course, she still wore her iconic white headband.

Looking around the store, she quickly spotted Ren sitting near the window.

"Sorry, it seems I'm late."

Sitting in front of him and putting down the bag she brought, Fumino took the initiative to apologize.

"No, there are still five minutes until 9 o'clock."

After checking the time, Ren said casually.

"Great, not late yet."

Knowing she wasn't late, Fumino patted her chest and sighed with relief.

Then she said somewhat shyly: "Alright... Kamikawa, let's eat something here first then go shopping elsewhere. I accidentally forgot to have breakfast this morning."

Because she was looking forward to meeting Ren last night, she slept very late, which caused her to almost not wake up this morning.

Moreover, it took time to get dressed and so on, so she hurried even without breakfast.

Fortunately, she finally managed to fulfill her promise on time.

And the price to pay was a hungry stomach.

"Sure."

Ren didn't need to refuse something like this.

Seeing his agreement, Fumino eagerly called the waiter, then took the menu and chose carefully.

But before she could choose what to order, she realized something was wrong, and asked the waiter very confusedly: "Hello, is there something on my face?"

Logically, the waiter shouldn't keep staring at the guests, right?

But from the moment she sat in front of Ren until she ordered, she could clearly feel that many eyes were focused on her.

She didn't pay too much attention to it at first, but seeing it now, there must be something wrong!

"I'm sorry."

The waiter quickly apologized for his rudeness.

"There's nothing. Just tell me, why are you staring at me?" Fumino asked with concern.

"There's no special reason. It's just because the man sitting across from you is a regular customer of our store, but he's alone every time he comes here." The waiter smiled and explained as clearly as possible, "Now you suddenly came here, so we're even more curious about your relationship."

"I'm really sorry for causing trouble for you."

The main reason the waiter stared at Fumino was because of the man sitting across from her.

For a regular customer who often comes to the cafe as a waiter, they will remember him.

And every time this regular customer comes, the person sitting across from him is basically a different beautiful girl.

He even said that some girls came the day before yesterday and didn't eat anything after ordering. They just stared at him while he was on a date with another girl.

Including Fumino who came today, there must have been many of them.

That's why they were so curious to stare at Fumino today until they were found by her.

Of course, it's very unlikely to say such a reason, if said then there's no need to do business today.

Therefore, the waiter can only make up as many lies as possible to maintain the image of this regular customer.

"So that's it."

Fumino believed the waiter's explanation.
