"Thank you, Yuzao, but there’s no need."

"Why not?"

"I like to be alone."

"Okay then." Yuzao Haoi pursed her lips, stirring her miso soup without much appetite.

Ichiki Aoi had originally wanted to invite Kiyono Lin to go find Mayi but seeing Yuzao Haoi defeated so quickly, she imdiately lost the courage to speak up.

Yesterday was the school’s scheduled group activities, but today they were free to do as they wished, without reason.

Ichiki Aoi and Yuzao Haoi were talking about last night’s ghost stories when soone ca over.

"Good morning, Mr. Kiyono." The person sat down right next to Kiyono Lin.

’Right next to’ ant precisely that, though he managed not to make physical contact.

Ichiki Aoi watched as Kiyono Lin said with a disgusted face, "You sll like sweat, please stay away from , Mr. Dubian."

"Exactly!" Yuzao Haoi exaggeratedly pinched her nose.

Ichiki Aoi discreetly sniffed; there was a slight sll of sweat, but no bad odor, and the thought that it ca from the good-looking Mr. Dubian, she didn’t feel repulsed at all.

"Did you go for a run, Mr. Dubian?" she asked out of curiosity.

"Yeah, I have a habit of running in the morning," Dubian Che replied, sipping his miso soup.

"You even run during the school trip?"

"If I can keep up my running during a school trip, what can’t I do—I motivate myself like that."

"What can’t you do? Like, for instance, take a shower after you run," Kiyono Lin reminded him with a cold voice.

"I was afraid you’d be gone by the ti I finish showering. Huh? How co this grilled fish isn’t as good as yesterday’s?" Dubian Che quickly ate up the grilled fish and said, "I’m going to Uji later, to visit the Wind Instrunt Club at North Uji. You’re coming with ."

"I’m not going," Kiyono Lin said, nibbling on her fish cake.

"Why?"

"Why should I be asking you the question? I want to take a walk by myself, go see the Philosophy Path."

"Forget about it, co with to North Uji."

"Why should I?"

"Chisako invited to visit her school. It wouldn’t look good for , a guy, to go see Chisako and Sahui alone. It can’t be avoided even if I bring a guy along; you’re the only girl who could accompany , I beg you, Dora A Lin."

As the two of them took turns speaking, Ichiki Aoi and Yuzao Haoi had no chance to interject.

This was the first ti they had seen soone talk to Mr. Kiyono like this.

Surely, the two of them didn’t interact much even during Wind Instrunt Club tis.

After taking a sip of her miso soup and placing the bowl down properly, Kiyono Lin leisurely said to Dubian Che, "I’ve heard that Uji has the most authentic matcha..."

"I’ll treat you!"

"Train fare..."

"It’s on !"

Kiyono Lin nodded lightly, "Then I’ll take pity on you this once, seeing as you’re a mber of my club. I’ll reluctantly accompany you."

"That’s settled then!" Dubian Che finished his al, stood up with his tray, "Wait for , I’m going to shower and change my clothes."

Watching him leave, Yuzao Haoi turned to Kiyono Lin: "What about the Philosophy Path?"

"Although matcha ca from China, there’s a saying that the ’world’s matcha is in Island Country, and the matcha of Island Country is in Uji.’ I’d rather try what’s known to be the most authentic matcha than the Philosophy Path in autumn."

Ichiki Aoi didn’t quite catch on and followed up with a question, "Didn’t you say you liked being alone..."

"Yes, I like being alone, but that doesn’t an I’m opposed to going with others."

Yuzao Haoi asked, puzzled, "What about the Philosophy Path in autumn?"

"I like cherry blossoms." Kiyono Lin decided not to eat the unsavory grilled fish, saving room for matcha.

Having heard that there are two famous matcha shops in Uji—’Nakamura Fugosuke’ and ’Ito Kyuemon’—which one should she go to?

After Dubian Che showered, he didn’t put on casual clothes but changed into the Goda High School uniform—a white shirt and a black suit jacket, without a tie and with the jacket unbuttoned.

"Let’s go."

"Yeah."

On the way to the train, Dubian Che noticed that Kiyono Lin was constantly looking at her phone, a habit she never had before.

"What are you looking at?"

"An app. Yuzao recomnded it to yesterday. You can search for good food on it, see restaurant rankings, read custor reviews, and even book a dining ti."

Dubian Che wasn’t sure if he had misheard, but he felt that Kiyono was almost boasting when she ntioned the app.

"You don’t think I don’t know about this app, do you?" he asked cautiously.

Kiyono Lin’s expression turned cold, "You know about it?"

"I don’t. Dear Mr. Kiyono, please show where to download it." Dubian Che took out his phone.

Unfortunately for him, Kiyono Lin never paid much attention to what people said, and the chill emanating from her grew colder.

They took the ’East-West Line’ first, then transferred to the ’Nara Line,’ and after a two-hour shake and rattle, they arrived at Uji City.

Compared to the Capital City, there were significantly fewer tourists in Uji.

This quaint little city, where mountains are visible everywhere, was particularly serene.

"It’s so quiet here," Dubian Che remarked after looking around.

"I much prefer this to crowded tourist spots," Kiyono Lin said with an air of appreciation.

The sky was a brilliant blue, and the clouds lazily drifted by.

Under the sleepy sunlight, the two walked down a lush, clean, and quiet street.

"How about we start with so matcha? I’ve agreed to et Chisako at their school at noon."

"Sure." Kiyono Lin said, "Nakamura Fugosuke’s flagship store is nearby, let’s go there."

"Lead the way." Dubian Che gestured grandly with his hand.

They crossed a zebra crossing without traffic lights and entered a quaint alley; they proceeded into a traditional Japanese
