"Ryuji, Touka-chan lost her parents when she was young and has been raised by her uncle, Shihou Renshu. Two years ago, her twin brother, due to differing views with their uncle, left alone to join the Bronze Tree. So, for the past two years, Touka has been completely alone. She is a child who lacks love, and you are the first person willing to let her vent all her stubbornness and temper on. So please, give her more care and understanding."
Yoshimura Kousan then spoke earnestly to Ryuji.
Hearing Yoshimura's words, Ryuji felt a bit helpless inside. Why does it seem like everyone hopes I'll be with Touka?
But just thinking about Touka's personality, Ryuji started to feel afraid. If Touka really became his wife, wouldn't he have to live in torment every day?
He couldn't help but look down at his own feet. Would he still want his feet in the future?
"Boss is right. Look, Touka-chan doesn't treat me like that! The only person who can get close to Touka is you," Koma Enji also gave Ryuji a knowing look.
At this moment, Ryuji didn't know what else to say. The only thing he could do was remain silent.
Meanwhile, eavesdropping from the staircase, Touka was a little distracted. If it weren't for her boss's words, she wouldn't have realized that she had taken all her stubbornness and temper out on Ryuji. This made her start to question whether her attitude toward Ryuji was really different from how she treated other boys.
After a moment of silence on the first floor, Touka finally went upstairs to change her clothes.
Ten minutes later, she came downstairs wearing a casual sports outfit.
Compared to her work uniform, Touka in casual sportswear looked more playful.
"Ryuji, where are the boss and the others?" Touka looked at Ryuji, who was standing in front of the glass, gazing at the street outside, and asked.
At this point, only Ryuji was left in the shop. Yoshimura, Irimi Kaya, and Koma Enji had gone to the basement cold storage. Ryuji knew what they were doing, but he didn't say anything or overthink it.
"Cold storage," Ryuji answered lightly in three words.
Hearing this, Touka immediately understood what Yoshimura was doing, and she didn't ask further.
After that, Ryuji walked toward the shop door, opened it, and stepped out of the antique coffee shop.
Touka chased after him, then asked while following behind, "Aren't you going to change your clothes first?"
Suddenly, Ryuji stopped walking, and Touka bumped right into him.
"Why did you suddenly stop? Geez!" Touka immediately started to complain.
Ryuji didn't apologize, but turned around and replied, " Didn't you say this outfit was ugly this morning?"
"Don't you have other clothes?" Touka asked back.
"No, besides myself, I only have this outfit," Ryuji answered.
Hearing this, Touka finally remembered that Ryuji seemed to have moved into the antique coffee shop empty-handed. She didn't argue anymore and asked, "Then I'll take you shopping for a few outfits first! You don't mind, right?"
"No!"
Afterward, Ryuji and Touka started their first "non-date" date, just like a couple.
