Love Sorrow

After the club activities, Nagi invited Hitori and Satania back to the music room in the main building.

"I'm furious!! Hitori, let's form a small internal group starting now. It's called 'From Hell' and let's kick that jerk Yukinoshita Yukino out!!" Satania said angrily.

(Hitori?... Hehehe... This is the first time someone my age has called my name)

Recalling what she had just experienced when she was in a room with various normal people in the club, Hitori felt that she had taken a big step towards being normal.

"Don't be angry, Satania, you'll treat us to cake later. So, let me play a song for Goto-san."

"Eh!..."

Now the day was already dusk, and the beautiful piano shone under the setting sun.

Nagi's fingertips danced on the keys, and the song [Love Sorrow] flowed like the murmur of water.

His eyes, deep as the stars in the dark night, shone with moving light.

This musical piece was like a gentle breeze, relaxed and pleasant, and like clear spring water.

Skills like this could be called pro-level...

Hitori's heart was filled with admiration as she stared at Nagi.

Satania, on the other hand, felt very proud, as if she were the one sitting in front playing the piano.

As the final notes faded away, Nagi stopped playing and turned his gaze to Hitori.

"Goto-san, this is my apology to you."

"Pardon?" Hitori asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I apologize." Nagi said with a smile.

"I made decisions on my own over the weekend, and my behavior caused trouble and distress for you. I apologize to you. Regarding this apology, I hope to make up for my mistakes, and I hope you can treat me as a friend."

As Hitori heard Nagi's explanation, the surprise in her heart gradually disappeared and was replaced by a feeling of emotion.

She didn't expect Nagi to care so much about her feelings and express his apology in this way.

"So, do you accept my apology?" Nagi asked.

(Ahhhh, is Nanaba-kun trying hard to be friends with Plankton?)

Reluctantly, Hitori thought of her own experiences, sometimes being misunderstood or ignored because she wasn't good at talking. However, Nagi's actions made her understand that some people didn't need words to express their emotions, they just needed to feel them with their hearts.

"Nanaba-kun, thank you... But we've been friends since last weekend. Also, Satania-san, you're my friend too! ..."

Hitori held Nagi's hand tightly, no longer avoiding Nagi and Satania's gaze, and it took her a long time to hold back her words.

Nagi felt very relieved to hear her answer, was he also beginning to change?

"Well then, let's play a game. The game's name, introduce each other... My name is Nanaba Nagi, and I hope to be your friend forever."

Hitori opened her mouth and shook her head. "><, I..."

"Me too, Nagi, Hitori, let's cheer for the completion of [From Hell], hahahaha!!"

Saying so, Satania grabbed Nagi and Hitori's hands and raised them high.

The somewhat cozy atmosphere was disrupted by the little devil.

Nagi stared at Satania, making her shiver.

But it's okay, if it continues to develop, it will be like the plot of a teenage idol drama.

Nagi is also in trouble now, he said he felt a little numb thinking about it now, but he didn't feel this during practice.

He followed Satania's lead. "Let's go, next stop..., Satania, where should we eat?"

"...What? Aren't you leading?"

***

They finally found a coffee shop closer to the subway station, named Angel Coffee Shop.

The atmosphere inside the shop was very comfortable, with soft lighting and gentle music making people feel relaxed and happy.

They found seats near the window and could see the streets and people outside.

They sat there, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Nagi looked out at the street through the window, feeling peaceful and satisfied in his heart.

Wearing a white shirt and a black vest, the middle-aged store manager with a beard approached them and nodded to them.

"Welcome, is there something you'd like me to recommend?"

"Manager, I heard your coffee here is very special?" Satania asked curiously.

When the store manager heard this question, he suddenly straightened his chest and proudly said.

"Yes! The coffee beans in our shop are carefully selected from around the world. After going through a unique roasting process, they are able to bring out a rich and unique flavor."

Satania's eyes sparkled after hearing this, and she asked with curiosity. "Really? The latte in your shop must be delicious!"

The store manager became even more proud when he heard the praise from Satania, and he continued to boast.

"Of course! The latte in our shop is one of its specialties! Made with freshly extracted coffee concentrate, combined with finely steamed milk and a thick layer of milk foam, it has a rich and smooth taste. Additionally, we pay special attention to the smoothness of the milk foam and temperature control, so that each cup of latte can achieve the best taste."

"In that case, manager, I'll have a latte and chocolate cake for everyone!" Satania became excited.

"I want a latte too..." Hitori boldly ordered from the store manager.

Nagi was slightly touched after hearing this, but he wasn't interested in latte, so he asked hesitantly.

"Store manager, can you recommend some other special coffees to us?"

As if a button had been triggered, the store manager began to speak with a proud smile on his face.

"In fact, I am quite confident in blending coffee, to be able to balance its flavor and aroma. I use five types of coffee beans to flexibly adjust each flavor. Our shop strives hard to blend them, and of course, we insist on selecting the origin of the coffee beans. I personally buy them every year."

"In that case, I'll have a mixed coffee too. That's it, thank you."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Immediately, the store manager came with a tray containing three cups of coffee and three pieces of chocolate cake on top.

He placed the coffee and cake on the table one by one and said with a smile.

"Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

Hitori picked up the coffee in front of her, smelled the aroma of the latte, then sipped it and showed a satisfied smile.

Satania blinked and complained, "This coffee tastes too weird? It's like drinking sand."

The store manager initially satisfied with Nagi and Hitori, was stunned and looked at her in amazement.

"Actually, I think it's fine..." Hitori whispered.

"Customer, this latte is our specialty!" The store manager quickly explained, "Made from specially roasted coffee beans and fresh milk delivered in the morning. Its taste may be unique."

"It's too unique!" Satania complained, "Next time, remember to remind me not to order coffee. It's torture!"

"I'm deeply sorry, customer, I'll remember it." The store manager cried inwardly.

"So, what about the chocolate cake?" The store manager asked cautiously, hoping Satania would give a good review.

However, after tasting it, Satania frowned and said, "The texture of this cake is also somewhat strange, like there's a stone in it."

"What?! A stone?!" The store manager exclaimed, "That's impossible! It should be soft, there definitely shouldn't be a stone!"

Satania smiled, took a piece of chocolate and placed it on the table, "Look, this is the stone I ate from the cake."

Nagi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. "It's chocolate, Satania."

The 'stone' Satania referred to was actually a piece of chocolate shaped like a stone.

***

After bidding farewell to Hitori and Satania, Nagi ate something at the convenience store before returning home.

Perhaps because of the carefully brewed cup of coffee prepared by the store manager, he felt happy, considering today's experience truly strange, truly unforgettable.

He put down his backpack and sat on the sofa, enjoying the moment of peace.

Until Gabriel, wearing red sportswear with disheveled hair, came out of his room.
