My roommate turns out to be the heiress of a triad!

The orange-red hue of the spring sunset is very beautiful.

The entire sky is like a giant palette, with rich colors and clouds creating a beautiful picture.

The cafes in front of Shibuya Station are very popular among young people.

The main reason is that the location here is excellent, offering great views.

Secondly, the decor and food flavors are very much to the liking of young people.

"Hello, would you like to order something?"

The waiter, adept at reading people's expressions, handed the menu to Ryoichi Sugawara.

After looking at the menu and asking Kujo Mayu for her opinion, Sugawara Ryoichi replied.

"Two coconut lattes and two tiramisu, please. Thank you."

Then hand the menu to the waiter.

the strange thing is.

After we ordered, the waiter did not leave immediately.

The customer in the booth was looking at the other person with a strange gaze, but eventually his eyes fell on Sugawara Ryoichi.

"Are you sure that's all?"

"Yes."

"But guests, there are five of you in total."

Yes.

In this booth, besides Ryoichi Sugawara and Mayu Kujo, there is also Yukiko Higuchi and her two best friends.

Keiko Tanaka and Riko Sakagami.

But so what? I didn't invite them over.

Ryoichi Sugawara muttered to himself.

Although I just completed the task issued by the system and earned 500,000 yen from Yukiko Higuchi.

With the money I already had, treating the three of them to some desserts was no problem for me.

Mainly it's about Kujo Mayu, who's always around me...

Speaking up for the blonde bombshell in the karaoke room was already the limit.

Didn't you see Kujo Mayu's kind expression all the way?

If I were to invite them to the coffee shop again and then offer to pay for their meals...

Kujo Mayu is probably about to tear herself apart with her hands, which are capable of drawing a bow, in the next second.

"Ryoichi, why don't the five of us order together so the waiter doesn't have to make two trips?"

Mayu Kujo wore a kind expression, squinted her eyes, and looked at Ryoichi Sugawara with a smile.

"Is...is that okay?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Mayu Kujou changed her previous amiable manner when speaking to Ryoichi Sugawara.

Sugawara Ryoichi felt a chill run down his spine from the fake smile and aloof tone he used to put people at a distance.

"In that case..."

"No need. I'll pay for ours."

Before Sugawara Ryo could finish speaking, Higuchi Yukiko interrupted him.

He pouted, looking unhappy.

She didn't care about the money.

I never expected that in just a few days, Mayu Kujo would have tamed Ryoichi Sugawara to this extent.

This woman is truly not to be underestimated.

The wait for food always feels very long.

Upon closer inspection, the location of this store is truly excellent.

The panoramic glass on the side allows you to see people walking on the street. Looking further afield, you can even see Shibuya Station.

The crowds coming and going were mostly tourists who had finished their day of sightseeing.

Amidst laughter and chatter, they prepared to head to Shibuya Station to catch the train back home.

Among them, a group of male students wearing Kitasakano High School uniforms stood out in the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, I recognized some of the people inside.

Isn't that Kenji Koyama?

Tokyo is so small.

He was chatting with several other boys in the student crowd.

Ryoichi Sugawara was startled when he made eye contact with him the next second, and quickly looked away, pretending not to see him.

If he finds out that he's with Kujo Mayu, there might have to be another person in this booth.

While Sugawara Ryoichi was praying that he hadn't seen her, Kujo Mayu unusually took the initiative to strike up a conversation with a stranger.

"Was that handsome boy at the karaoke bar Higuchi-san's boyfriend?"

Mayu Kujo's words immediately put Yukiko Higuchi's two hot-girl best friends on the other side at a sense of alert.

Is this woman not very friendly?

While hesitating whether to change the subject for Yukiko, Higuchi Yukiko gave a hesitant answer.

"It was true before. It's not true now."

"Oh, is that so? So that means you had a boyfriend when Ryoichi confessed to you?"

So that's what it was about.

It seems this isn't targeting Yukiko.

The two best friends breathed a sigh of relief.

But when it was Sugawara Ryo's turn, he became alert.

How did this all get dragged into me?

Besides, wasn't Higuchi Yukiko there when she dumped Watanabe Tetsuya?

"Well, Kujo, Higuchi-san just dumped that jerk, let's not talk about that."

"What did you call me?"

Huh? Why is it still chilly in May?

Is the store air-conditioned?

So it was Maiyu Kujo who was emitting it.

The will to survive made Sugawara Ryoichi immediately realize where he went wrong, and he changed his tune on the spot.

"Mo...Moyou."

"Password correct." Kujo Mayu's gaze softened slightly.

"Could you ask the bad boy to check if our desserts are ready?"

"Oh...oh. Okay, okay."

Just as Sugawara Ryoichi was about to take the opportunity to slip away and leave this troublesome place, the waiter brought over their food.

"The meals for all five of you have been served. Please enjoy your meal."

With that, he put away the tray and locked the door that Sugawara Ryoichi had been trying to escape through.

There was no reason why Kujo Mayu became like this.

As a woman, she understands women best.

Just now in the karaoke hallway, the way that blonde bombshell looked at Sugawara Ryoichi was off.

Even though she just broke up with her boyfriend, she doesn't need pity. She needs to know that there are certain things that cannot be crossed.

But Yukiko Higuchi isn't easily intimidated.

After realizing that the black-haired, icy woman in front of him was speaking with hidden barbs, he began to fight back.

"That's right. Being too popular is really a headache. By the way, Kujo-kun, do you like leftovers?"

Higuchi Yukiko, being outspoken, never expected that her words would both retaliate against Kujo Mayu and hurt Sugawara Ryoichi standing nearby.

After realizing that what he said was inappropriate, he quickly apologized to Ryoichi Sugawara.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

Ryoichi Sugawara was unsure whether he should politely reply that it was okay.

Because he was genuinely caught in the crossfire between those two women, and seriously so.

Before Sugawara Ryoichi could reply, Kujo Mayu immediately countered.

"Judging from the outcome, you're the one who's left behind now."

The two exchanged sharp words, neither willing to back down.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, sparks seemed to fly across the booth.

This must be it, right? This is it.

The legendary battlefield of carnage.

Why did it suddenly turn out like this?

Because things were developing so quickly, Sugawara Ryoichi was completely baffled as to why the two women were now at loggerheads.

Just as she was about to say something, Kujo Mayu glared at her and stopped her.

Then, Mayu Kujo continued.

"That boy named Watanabe is quite handsome. Even though he's her girlfriend, why can't they even kiss?"

Upon hearing this, Higuchi Yukiko, who had just been like a fighting rooster, tilting her head back in a "come and fight" posture, immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

This reaction surprised everyone.

It was Higuchi Yukiko's best friend, Sakagami Riko, who discovered some clues from their previous conversations.

"Could it be that you, Yukiko, never even kissed Watanabe-senpai before?"

Waaaaaah!

Where is the kettle boiling?
