"I didn't expect Chiba-san to use such a clumsy provocation."
Chiba Shimizu chuckled and shook his head, "Or are you afraid of losing the original bet?"
The bet?
A topic about love—would one fall in love with the young mistress first and thus change for her?
"I won't lose."
Haruka Yuzan felt that he wouldn't lose, no, both of them felt they would not lose; the beautiful and charming Chiba Shimizu never lacked self-confidence.
.....
At four twenty in the afternoon,
Inside the QWSH coffee shop,
The maids who had been standing outside attracting custors also ca in one after the other.
One maid was responsible for two tables of custors, and basically, the people who ca in for coffee today were those couples. According to the maid standing to one side,
This event had been in the works for a long ti, and basically, all the local residents knew about it, so couples like them who found out on the day itself accounted for a very small proportion. Most were regular custors who had prepared in advance to take part in the event.
Why not, when it could increase intimacy with the other half and also earn a discount coupon?
"However, I still believe that the sir and miss will be able to achieve a good ranking!"
The maid who claid to be Kawada Aika said with a delicate expression, looking at Haruka Yuzan; in fact, it wasn't just her, everyone in the café seed to unconsciously cast their glances over here.
There was no other reason; with their deanor and looks, when they walked among the crowd, they were destined to enjoy the brightest spotlight on stage.
"Thank you for the support."
Haruka Yuzan revealed a gentle smile.
Upon seeing this, Kawada Aika felt her heart almost lt, especially the boy's eyes—deep and alluring, irresistibly captivating.
Chiba Shimizu took a sip of coffee nonchalantly. She had nothing to say about the boy's reckless charm-spreading behavior; in the young mistress's eyes, it was only about how to clear the level quickly and efficiently.
Before long, a girl dressed like an emcee walked out from the front desk and stood in the middle.
It seed like a rehearsed event, as the participating couples gradually made their way toward the center.
Haruka Yuzan and Chiba Shimizu also followed Kawada Aika towards the small stage.
Soon, the crowd surrounded the center of the stage. However, everyone looked sweet and affectionate, either holding hands or linking arms.
Except... Haruka Yuzan and Chiba Shimizu, although they also walked side by side, the five-centiter gap between them seed like an insurmountable chasm. Normally, it would be no issue, but now... it appeared particularly jarring.
"Chiba-san?"
Haruka Yuzan whispered, the atmosphere seed too peculiar for a couple not even holding hands.
He believed that the keen young mistress also must have noticed this; however,
The fair maiden continued to walk, not speaking or reacting, her clear eyes flashing with a mont of hesitation and confusion.
How could Chiba Shimizu ever be the one to initiate such a matter? Was she to tell Haruka, let's hold hands?
Just imagining such a scenario, Haruka Yuzan concluded it would remain just a thought in his mind.
"Mr. Haruka, you two aren't pretending to be a couple, are you?" Suddenly, Kawada Aika said sothing to them, her eyes filled with strange curiosity.
A playful remark pierced through their facade,
"Ah? How could that be! Hahaha! Impossible!"
Faced with the maid's skepticism, Haruka Yuzan decisively grabbed the girl's smooth little hand, as if to prove sothing, he even raised it in the air, boasting sowhat,
"We are a genuine couple!"
"Wow, I thought so!" Kawada Aika nodded with an envious face, "You really make others jealous, Mr. Haruka!"
"Hahaha, Miss Kawada will also find her true love."
Haruka Yuzan laughed it off.
"If only that day would co!" She glanced at them with a profound look and then turned back to lead the way.
Looking at the maid who turned away, Haruka Yuzan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief,
"Lucky I reacted fast, or we would have been discovered for sure. Don't you think so, Chiba-san?"
After speaking, he turned to look at the girl next to him,
Chiba Shimizu still maintained a calm and indifferent expression, her fair and delicate face emotionless.
Indeed, worthy of being Chiba-san! Even at such a mont, she still managed to maintain her composed deanor!!
He admired her inwardly, Haruka Yuzan's gaze then returned to the small stage in the center, murmuring softly, "What do you think the activity will be later? It would be great if it were an intelligence quiz."
Feeling sohow uncomfortable, the boy naturally changed his hand position, pressing palm to palm, fingers interlocked.
The boy kept on talking, but the girl beside him didn't listen at all. On the surface, she seed the sa as always, but what Haruka failed to notice was that the young mistress's limbs had already beco incredibly stiff, her clear eyes clouded with a bewildered dullness...
Internally, she felt a tumultuous swell. What would the event be later? How to clear it? The young mistress didn't have ti to think that far at the mont.
A precisely calculated computer, when invaded by a complex virus nad "Haruka," could only forcibly go into standby mode... smoking...
