The Birth of Saint

The rush was over and the bread was sold out.

Haru decided to close the store early since he saw a lot of familiar faces, "Yuri, can you close the cafe?"

"Sure," Yuri nodded and changed the sign to a closing.

"Sora, Utaha, and..." Haru looked for a bit and said, "Kato, you're here?!" He was very surprised to see her suddenly appear.

"Why am I the only one who is different?" Kato complained but her face was still calm.

Utaha who was beside them suddenly realized there was another girl beside her, "Who is this? Ninja?"

"Don't be mean to Megumi!" Sora complained to her friend.

"Sora..." Kato felt a bit moved.

"It's true that her presence is a bit thin, but you can't be so rude!" Sora said.

"Sora..." Kato wasn't sure how to respond.

Haru and Utaha laughed in response.

"Haru, I've closed the store," Yuri said and walked toward him.

"Thank you, Yuri," Haru said.

"Oh, I didn't see you for a while but you've got yourself a new woman, huh? Are you trying to throw away your old woman and get a new one?" Utaha suddenly said while crossing her arms.

Yuri frowned, "Who are you? Are you really his girlfriend?" She observed Utaha for a while and knew that this girl was a big beauty, especially those legs that could even tempt anyone. She wasn't sure of their relationship but she knew that it wasn't that simple.

"No, she is not," Sora answered hurriedly.

"Oh..." Yuri only nodded.

Utaha frowned, "What's with that expression?"

Haru looked like three girls were going to argue with each other. He was wondering whether he could make them get along with each other. He prepared a chamomile tea that had an effect to calm someone's nerves.

"Alright, I have tea here and some bread that I have made before, let's eat it," Haru suddenly said.

The three girls stopped arguing and started to drink the tea. They closed their eyes while enjoying the tea.

Haru was sitting next to Kato since it was the calmest seat, "Kato, you're very relaxed."

"Is that a compliment?" Kato asked.

"Yes, it's a very good compliment," Haru said.

Kato looked at three girls and felt that those three weren't that concerned about her or they didn't even notice her. She wasn't even sure whether she should be happy or not but she didn't really want to join the bloodbath, "That's right, I met the girl early."

"Hmm," Haru nodded.

"I've also met the short haired girl beside her, is that your e-."

"Shh," Haru hurriedly stopped her, "Let's eat this cake, Kato, this is good." He had quite enough trouble and didn't want to add it again.

Kato took her bribe and ate the bread. She looked at him without expression while eating the cake.

"Don't you go home?" Utaha looked at Yuri.

"I'll be staying here for a while," Yuri said.

Utaha raised her eyebrow and turned her head toward him, "Is she going to live here?"

Haru nodded, "Yes, she is, she has asked her parents apparently."

"Is that okay?" Utaha asked.

"Well, she is an employee, I have a free room here," Haru said.

Utaha wasn't comfortable with this development, when there was a single man and woman in the single roof there would be something happening, "Where are you living?"

"I'm going back, I'm going to sleep in my apartment," Haru answered.

"He isn't going to live here," Sora said.

Yuri didn't really mind, though, she didn't really mind either for him to live here.

They talked about the progress and future of this cafe. They knew that his bread received a good response from the customer but it was suitable to be eaten in the morning.

Yuri needed to go to school in the morning.

Haru decided to create a robot but he also wanted to hire someone since it was better to be greeted by a cute girl rather than a robot. He didn't really want a male in his kitchen and needed to produce a robot to help him as soon as possible.

"Ano," Kato suddenly said.

"What's wrong, Kato?" Haru asked.

"I wanted to say it earlier but I didn't have a chance," Kato said.

They sweatdropped at her since they didn't notice her and felt quite bad toward her. They looked at her and nodded in response.

"Yes, what's wrong, Megumi?" Sora asked.

Kato took something from her pocket and showed them a five ticket.

"What is this?" Utaha asked.

"This is a ticket trip to hot spring, I have gotten it from the lottery before, my family can't go out with me and it will waste to not using it, how about five of us go to together?" Kato asked.

"Me too?" Yuri was surprised.

"Yes," Kato nodded, "the more the merrier."

"Sure," Haru nodded.

"Yes, let's go together, Megumi," Sora hugged her directly.

"It's been a while since I've been going to a hot spring," Utaha said.

"Thank you very much," Yuri said.

"Don't worry," Kato said with a nod.

Haru, Sora, Utaha, and Yuri weren't sure but they could see an imaginary halo on the top of her head.

"Saint..."

No one was sure who said this word at first but it was very suitable.

Kato frowned but it came back to normal, "Don't call me that."

Haru was wondering whether he could help her with her thin presence since he felt it was quite troublesome. However, he was anticipated about this trip since he felt it would be a very wonderful trip.
