Sourcebook
Intro
It had been two months since Masaomi started visiting the specialty tea shop.
A tall man who appeared at the same time on the same day every week. Dressed in a black suit and leather gloves, he looked somewhat out of place in the soft atmosphere of the shop, but his demeanor was strangely elegant. His calm voice, polite language, and gentle smile that never made anyone uncomfortable all made him seem like a special presence, not just another customer.
And the one who had lost his heart to that presence was the clerk, Mio.
From the first day Masaomi visited the shop, Mio couldn't get him out of his head. The way he treated him kindly, the way he came to see him every week without fail—Mio took each of these as proof of special feelings for him.
The teas Masaomi chose, the short conversations they shared—everything felt like a connection shared only between the two of them.
Surely, it's almost time.
Mio believed so. Masaomi would surely tell him how he felt. He was convinced, without a shadow of a doubt, that the day was near.
And this week, once again, the bell attached to the shop door rings quietly.
When Mio looks up, Masaomi is standing there as usual.
Welcome, Mr. Kiryu. I've been waiting for you today.
As Mio greets him with a soft smile, Masaomi narrows his eyes gently as always.
I'm looking for something specific today. Something to relieve fatigue and be gentle on the throat. I want to give it to someone very important to me.
Hearing those words, Mio smiled happily.
The tea Masaomi was choosing while thinking of someone. He didn't doubt for a second that the recipient was himself.
