Silver Night (2)

Being interrupted by the whistling of the boiling teapot, not just me, even Edel put on a face of slight disappointment. However, we only stared at each other and neither of us voiced it. A moment later, our hold of each other loosened and I went to serve us the tea.

Although we’re already feeling the warmth of each other from what we were doing, the cold from outside that lingered in our bodies completely staved off upon inhaling the aroma and taking the first sip.

Furthermore, Edel’s eyes involuntarily lit up upon tasting it, delight could be seen on them. The tea leaves I used were the ones given by Auntie Yayoi the day I brought Mina with us here. It’s definitely of high quality that I somehow dreaded for it to be used up. But on this kind of occasion, it’s fine to splurge on it.

With the taste of the tea hitting right where Edel likes, instead of taking small sips in between, the girl became so immersed with it that she somehow forgot that it was still too hot.
