I push the kid!

The world is pink, petals are frozen in mid-air, and everything is illogical.

Early the next morning, Taku Makimura was awakened by heavy rain.

Since he didn't have to go to work in the morning and didn't plan to run around outside, he just randomly watched a European or American movie he had never seen on TV to kill time.

Before twelve o'clock, Taku Makimura went to Starbucks with an umbrella and worked hard until six in the evening.

One of the girls in the other shift has her birthday today, and they want to invite Taku Makimura, Maki Teramoto and the other two to go to karaoke after 9pm.

Taku Makimura said he had other things to do after returning home and declined with an apology.

On May 3rd, it didn't rain that day, but the air was very humid and the ground was completely wet.

There are quite a few clouds, but none of them are white. They are almost all gray, with a little black in them. It looks like it will rain at any time.

That morning, Hoshino Ai took the train from Ochanomizu to Shibuya, and as soon as she got off the train, she went straight to the Starbucks store where Makimura Taku was.

When I entered the store, Taku Makimura was still working.

She walked forward to greet him, and Maki Teramoto saw her first. She turned around and said to Taku Makimura who was opening a plastic bag, "Makimura, I'm looking for you."

Makimura Taku straightened up, and Hoshino Ai put her hands next to her face and waved at him cutely.

Makimura Taku smiled faintly, wiped his hands with a wet tissue, and took two steps forward: "Welcome."

“He looks like a shop assistant.”

"You came early today."

"I came here when I got nothing."

"Are you anxious to see me?"

"That's right!"

"lie."

Hoshino Ai changed the subject: "I want to try the coffee you make!"

Makimura Taku calmly picked up the paper and pen: "What are you going to prepare?"

"Let me think about it." Hoshino Ai thought for a moment, raised a finger, and said seriously, "One copy of Makimura Taku!"

"Yes," Makimura Takuki asked, looking up, "What else?"

"Another caramel macchiato."

"A cup of caramel macchiato..." Makimura Taku said after writing, "Okay, I'll make it for you right away. Find a seat first."

"Yes~"

A few minutes later, Taku Makimura brought the prepared coffee over.

"Where's the Makimura Taku I ordered?"

“This production process takes a long time.”

Koizumi Hanami ran over and said, "Um, Maki-kun, Sister Maki said that you don't need to go to work for the time being."

Taku Makimura glanced towards the bar counter and Maki Teramoto blinked at him a few times.

That look seemed to be saying: Don't worry, the three of us are enough here!

"Thank you for the trouble." Taku Makimura asked Hanami Koizumi to thank him on his behalf.

Koizumi Hanami said yes twice before leaving with the tray.

The two looked at Koizumi Hanami's back until she was completely far away. Makimura Taku took off his apron and sat down right opposite Hoshino Ai.

"Skipping work again?" Hoshino Ai asked him jokingly, leaning on his arm.

Makimura Taku nodded: "Well, it's your fault no matter how you think about it."

"Don't talk nonsense, I can sit here and wait for you to get off work!"

“This sentence scores too high.”

"Yeah~"

"learned."

Xingye Ai smiled and asked, "Don't you want to drink something?"

"I don't need it," Makimura Taku replied, "You can drink it anytime you want." He glanced at the cup handed to Hoshino Ai, "Wouldn't you like to try the coffee I made myself?"

"Let me try."

Hoshino Ai lowered her head and took a small sip, then raised her face with her eyes sparkling.

“It tastes great!” she said. “Not too bitter and not too sweet! Even I, who don’t really know much about coffee, think it’s good!”

"That's good." Makimura Taku smiled faintly.

Not long after starting to work at Starbucks, he quickly mastered the production process and methods of each type of coffee.

When it first officially opened at the bar, even Maki Teramoto was quite surprised.

She asked Makimura Taku if he had ever received special training from someone privately, otherwise how could he have mastered it so quickly. Makimura Taku just said that he had some experience in the past.

But he does learn much faster and more efficiently than most people.

The two chatted about this and that for five minutes, and then Hoshino Ai suddenly seemed to have an idea and put the several tickets in her jacket pocket on the table.

"By the way, Makimura," she said in a very pleasant voice, "These are the tickets given to us by the production team of "Becoming an Idol Today". You can take them all."

Makimura Taku took a quick look and saw there were five in total: "That's too many. One will do. I won't need the rest."

"You can send a few to them!" Hoshino Ai used her eyes to refer to Maki Teramoto and Hanami Koizumi and others.

The three people at the bar looked over here as if they were telepathically connected.

When their eyes met Makimura Taku's, they pretended nothing had happened and looked away.

"Okay then." Makimura Taku said to Hoshino Ai, "Then I'll take all of these."

"No problem!" Hoshino Ai smiled at him.

The two sat in Starbucks for nearly forty minutes, until Hoshino Ai finished her coffee and asked Makimura Taku if he wanted to go out for a walk.

"I wonder if it will rain." Makimura Taku looked out the window.

"It's okay," Hoshino Ai dispelled his concerns, "The weather forecast says it will be cloudy!"

"cloudy day?"

"If it rains, we'll hold an umbrella!"

"Is that okay?"

"of course!"

He nodded, went to the front desk, shared all four extra tickets for the show, and asked if he could leave early this way.

Hideki Nishida asked him in surprise how he got it, as he couldn't get it even when he tried to buy it on the program team's official website.

Makimura Taku just said that it was not important. The point was that he had to skip work again. Although he was embarrassed, he still had to seek the consent of the three people.

"It's almost time to get off work anyway, so just leave if you want." Maki Teramoto said casually.

"Since you've given us such a precious thing, I have to agree," said Nishida Hideki, "Go with peace of mind, Makimura-kun, I'll take care of all your work!"

"It's troublesome." Taku Makimura said to him.

Koizumi Hanami bowed shyly, "Thank you for the ticket! Makimura-kun!"

"Nothing, thank you for your help." Makimura Taku waved his hand.

He took out his transparent umbrella from the small room and called on Hoshino Ai to leave together.

The two walked along the sidewalk for three or four hundred meters. There was some water on the road, but not too much.

They didn't choose dry paths to walk on, and sometimes they stepped into water.

But the two of them didn't seem to care, as if they would keep going like this as long as no one put up roadblocks in front of them.

"Are you confident in the competition?" Taku Makimura asked her on the way.

"After training for so long," Hoshino Ai paused with her head raised, then turned around with a smile, "I'm sure you have confidence!"

Makimura Taku glanced at her and said nothing.

As the two walked forward, Hoshino Ai would sometimes look at the ground and then solemnly tap her heels into the water.

But she skillfully controlled the strength to avoid splashing water, and her steps seemed quite gentle.

After lunch, they went to the cinema to watch a movie in the afternoon.

Originally, a British film was chosen, but Hoshino Ai said she wanted to watch something else, and Makimura Taku had no objection.

"Love Letter?" At that time, Hoshino Ai pointed at the poster outside the cinema and asked, "How about this one?"

"Watch it if you like."

"Do you like it or not..." Hoshino Ai pouted her lower lip, then smiled at Makimura Taku like a child, "For me, reading foreign languages ​​is really too troublesome."

I’m sorry, I was too busy today, but I wanted to write well, so I didn’t finish it. I’ll make it up later.

"So..." Makimura Taku didn't say anything else.

Besides thinking that the smile was extremely cute, he felt that he had said everything he wanted to say.

The two left the theater until the movie ended.

At around six o'clock in the evening, they came out of a set meal restaurant and strolled along the sidewalk lined with street lights.

The streets of Shibuya are filled with steam, and the night quietly surrounds everything.
