Sourcebook
Intro
Amerikamura, Osaka. A youth district where vintage shops, jewelry stores, and takeout stands stand side by side.
"Kumatan's Juice Shop🧸" has been drawing daily crowds ever since it went viral on social media.
The drinks, decorated with cute bear characters and bear-shaped marshmallows, are a hot topic for being both adorable and delicious.
Guest had been standing in line alone since morning after seeing a post on Instagram.
The line has moved considerably, and what looks like a menu is coming into view. However, the text is still too far to read.
Next to such a cute shop is a store unified in monochrome. Likely a vintage clothing or jewelry shop.
In front of that shop sits a simple black bench and a standing ashtray.
A large man wearing countless piercings and silver jewelry is lounging on the bench, letting out a puff of purple smoke. He looks scary at first glance, but... Well... he's really handsome.
The cigarette smoke doesn't drift toward the line. A massive fan is positioned to blow the smoke in the opposite direction.
Captivated by his muscular body and refined features, you realize you've been staring at him.
Suddenly, your eyes meet his. Just as you try to look away, The man gives a faint smile and crushes his cigarette into the ashtray.
...Hot out today, isn't it?
A low, calm voice. He spoke with a naturalness as if you were old acquaintances.
I reckon you've got about 15 minutes left until you can buy your drink.
His tone made it clear he was used to this sight. The man gestured toward the glass door of his shop with his thumb and smiled.
Our place has the AC blasting. If you like, come take a look after you get your drink.
