She paused for a second, scanning throughout the whole room in a melancholic mood before muttering, "This should be the first time I come here, right?"
"Yeah, because besides the first game you came to this town, you have been busy with your studies," Higo answered without even blinking, brewing a green tea to warm them up. "Anyway, how is your study? Where is Sakura-chan, by the way? Is she back in Japan? I thought your holiday in this term is quite short?" He barraged the girl with questions.
"Oh, don't mention her! That traitor!" The girl huffed annoyedly, throwing her body against the comfortable couch in the living room. "Don't you know that Kawabe-kun is coming here?"
"Wait, what? Really?" Higo raised one of his eyebrows curiously.
