Chapter 15: Selling and Boasting

What should she do? Order a glass of water directly from the owner shop? This kind of extra service costs more or less.

Kouro had previously said that he would treat it. But even if it was just a small fee, it would be rude to directly order it without Kouro's opinion.

But she was also a little embarrassed, to think she would choke at dinner, wasn't that something a woman shouldn't be doing?

Mei who was thinking frantically, suddenly heard Kouro's voice.

"Excuse me! please give me two glasses of orange juice."

Naturally, this kind of restaurant wouldn't clearly list water on the menu, so Kouro could only order juice.

Did he see herself choking at the moment or just coincidentally ordering a drink? Mei didn't know. 

Just as she was feeling relieved and feeling lucky, she heard Kouro's whisper beside her.

"No need to rush to eat, Are you too hungry?, should I order another set of food for you?"

Hearing Kouro's words made Raiden Mei a little embarrassed.

 "No! "

She already knew that Kouro was joking with herself again, in order to lighten the awkward atmosphere a bit.

If Kouro knew what Mei was thinking, he could only say that you were thinking too much.

Mei felt much better after drinking the orange juice.

Recalling Kouro's earlier joke, Mei was sure that Kouro ordered orange juice after seeing that she was choking.

Actually Kouro forgot to order a drink so he ordered orange juice which coincidentally was also choking Mei at the time.

Mei thought Kouro Observation and attention was somewhat similar to her.

For Raiden Mei this was a very new experience for her, because back then when she was the young lady of ME agency, many people gathered around her, but it was a pity that they were just ordinary high school students who still didn't have much life experience, except for a few.

Other than empty praise, and an intimacy that doesn't know the situation, Mei doesn't get much more.

For a long time she had played the role of caring for others, and for the first time she was being cared for by others with such care, to be honest it felt... very comfortable.

"Did you bring someone you like on a date, little boy?"

After delivering Kouro and Mei's set of food, then returning to deliver the drinks earlier.

The shop owner asked this curiously when she saw that she had no customers other than the two young people in front of her.

At this moment, standing beside the U-shaped table the shopkeeper was looking at Kouro with interest, looking forward to seeing this youngster show a bashful expression that his secret had been discovered.

Of course, the shopkeeper asked this after careful bserving.

After seeing Raiden Mei's movements and the concern expressed by Kouro when ordered a drink for Mei (coincidentally), she was sure that the two of them were not brothers and sisters. 

Like a close friend or gossipmonger who only asks out of curiosity, otherwise, if you accidentally state something that doesn't fit the facts and leaves the customer dissatisfied, you will fail as a shop owner.

"Well, I'm not very familiar with the surroundings. is there a good place to be introduced? a place where girls can feel good."

Contrary to the shop owner's expectations, not only did Kouro not show any shame like a young man dating for the first time, but instead asked herself back, this kind of calmness made the shop owner sigh and think the joys of youth, but she didn't show it, and immediately answer.

"Since you guys enjoy my cooking which makes me feel good, if you want to buy a small gift for this girl you like, you can walk down the street here for another 20 meters. There are accessories shops that are high quality and cheap like my restaurant."

Saying it was a recommendation, the shop owner didn't forget to advertise herself and brag, and she also praised her twice.

This behavior left Kouro dumbfounded.

As for Mei, when she heard the shop owner say "the person you like", Mei's mind became embarrassing, she didn't know what to say.

She was beside Kouro silently eating set meals and drinking orange juice, but Mei didn't hear Kouro and the shop owner's conversation.

After eating and checking out, Kouro naturally followed the owner's recommendation and walked to the Accessories shop wwi Mei, that girl hesitated and said.

"There's no need to spend so much money to me..."

Mei who was used to being independent was not used to Kouro's attention.

To be honest, after losing her status as ME's Young lady, for there to be a boy willing to do this for herself, Mei even felt a little happy.

"After all it's a shame to come here without buying a Keepsake, besides, you taught me to practice swordsmanship, and you even specially made a Strawberry Daifuku snack for me. Think of it as a gift thank you from me. You like? " 

"I... I don't know, it's up to you Kouro." Mei didn't know.

Even when she was the ME's Young lady back then, none of her classmates would give her accessories as gifts.

They mostly just give food or even a snack. Later, when her father had an accident, They disappeared and even isolated her.

Previously, because of the strict family education at the time, let alone dealing with boys, Mei was not good at getting along with girls her age.

Regarding her father's love or something, Raiden Ryoma is very busy and doesn't have time to spend with Mei. 

"Then let's go have a look together."

Kouro entered the Accessories shop with Mei, the shop wasn't considered as luxurious, but it still looked good.

As the shop owner had said earlier, the Accessories shop was of high quality but at a low price.

Of course it is the type of accessories.

High quality and low prices in the affluent Street Accessories store, of course there will be no items at stall prices.

Mei's accessories were chosen by Kouro.

Even to prevent wrong choice, he even paid special attention to Mei's gaze towards accessories.

Thinking of this, Kouro could only shake his head, and after seeing the girl staring at a certain accessory, he picked up the accessory on the shelf, it was a white headband.

"What do you think about this?"

Finding that Kouro seemed to have chosen something for herself, Mei's first reaction was not to look at what he chose, but to look at the price on the shelf.

High quality at a price that is not too cheap, after seeing the numbers in the price, Mei wanted to say Disclaimer.

As a result, before she could utter any words, she heard Kouro speak beside him.

"Is this kind of headband suitable? For a young lady like you, is the value too low? or…."

Hearing that Kouro had the intention of making things worse, Mei who initially refused, spoke quickly.

"This is it, don't change it, no need to buy other accessories... also, I'm not missy anymore, so there's no need to buy expensive ones."
