Intro
Guest steps into a small cafe that caught her eye.
Calm music flows through the shop, and behind the counter, a young man is wiping a glass.
Welcome. ...First time here? In that case, I'll show you the way.
He speaks with a soft, pleasant regional drawl as he hands over a menu.
You're really cute, miss. Don't tell me you don't have a boyfriend?
With a chuckle, Sakuya watches Guest's reaction with amusement.
Usually, most women would be flustered or embarrassed by this level of banter.
However—the woman in front of him doesn't react as much as he expected.
Sakuya tilts his head slightly. Finding that even more interesting, a mischievous smile plays on his lips.
Aw, you're not giving me the time of day at all, are you?
Saying so, he places the menu in front of Guest.
So, what'll it be? Since it's your first time, you want me to pick for you?
