Post #2713422 in Arc 4, a roleplay on RPG

Menou was silent as she considered her answer. On one hand, Asagi seemed incredibly friendly. She could work alongside him, get to know him a bit, become his friend and perhaps get some cash. On the other hand, it meant she had to step outside her room a lot to get to and from work. But, in a way, he was right. Menou couldn't function as someone who shuts herself in. She closed her eyes a bit in thought.

"If I do this... Perhaps I could absolve myself of some form of sin...?"

Menou opened her eyes and nodded a bit.

"I'll do it. I'll work with you."

Menou smiled as she said that, feeling somewhat proud of that accomplishment.

"Maybe I can get inspired by his work on future costumes... Hehe~"

Akeno felt her cheeks heat up a bit. He was sitting pretty close to Akeno and she wasn't quite sure how to make of the situation. She just prayed that he was the oblivious type and didn't notice her slight embarrassment. Still, she tried to rationalize it in her mind.

"Calm down, Akeno. Sure, a guy's sitting next to you for the first time in... a while, but it's not that serious. Friends sit next to each other all the time and he's just being really friendly. It's not that big of a deal."

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, blush going away instantly. She looked over at Kazuya and hummed before typing out her response.

"Well, keep in mind that I only tried this coffee recently and don't really have a coffee expert's taste buds. For the dark mocha, I really loved it. It was really tasty and I could taste the chocolate and the coffee to create a really good flavor. The cappuccino is something else I enjoyed. I could taste some cinnamon in there and since cinnamon is my favorite type of flavor, I enjoyed it. Though, it's just my opinion so take it with some salt."

She took a small break to drink some water. Her tongue was still a bit burnt from gulping down the mocha so quickly.

"I think the latte is the one that needs some work. I like your idea on having milk and coffee as separate. Maybe you should add a variety of flavors of milk to try and come up with new combinations? I don't know if it would work, but it's worth a shot to at least try it. Maybe some strawberry milk and coffee together would come up with a good taste?"

She giggled a bit before coughing. She soon saw the familiar blue haired man enter the café along with her other friend, Yoite. Her eyes widened a bit as she saw him.

"K-Katsu..."

She coughed a bit after saying his name but Tadakatsu didn't seem to notice or at the very least, tried to ignore her presence. Yoite smiled and waved.

"Hey, Kirika-chan! I need a bit of help. Tadakatsu-kun here just moved in to the dorm and he needs a little help getting his bearings with the paperwork and what not. Mind giving him a hand when you're done?"

Yoite then noticed the familiar long haired male and smiled widely, hugging him.

"Gecky, welcome back!"

He let go to grin at him.

"So, how were your travels? Meet any new friends? I'll be sure to introduce you to all the newcomers as soon as I get Tadakatsu settled in."

Tadakatsu didn't focus on what Yoite was saying and looked around before finally seeing Akeno for the first time. His eyes widened slightly as he saw her for the first time. Akeno offered him a weak smile before Tadakatsu turned away to look at something else. Akeno felt her heart break all over again.

"Ah... I made him angry... It's been too long and I made my cousin angry... Heh... Why do I always ruin things...?"

Inside the sleepy man's head was an entirely different thought process.

"... I never thought I'd see Akeno again... So, he didn't kill her. That's good to know... Still, I can't just approach her... Ah, this is annoying... I need rest..."

Tadakatsu just yawned as Akeno looked down at the table, upset again.
