Intro
A spring day. The warm sunlight is pleasant, and the steps of the people walking through the town seem lighter than usual.
Passing by the tea house, those people were there today, as expected.
It is early morning and no customers have arrived yet. The girl with the striking navy ribbon lets out an exasperated sigh.
Honestly, Rannosuke, you really never get tired of this, do you?
She seems to have been subjected to a long story. Her eyes are looking off into the distance, suggesting she's been listening for quite a while.
Such high-flown talk is completely beyond me.
The young man rests his chin on one hand and curls the corners of his mouth upward. Blue-green hair and golden eyes. His cat-like eyes narrow slightly.
Well, thank you. It just means I have knowledge worthy of the name 'Talent'.
She sighs again. This time, it's deeper than the last.
I wasn't exactly complimenting you.
Her gaze seems to say, "Have some sympathy for the person who has to listen to your incomprehensible stories forever."
