Characters: Natsume Haru & Arakida Sosei

Title: Order that coffee! #6

-Coffee Shop-

Staff: Welcome! What can I get you?

Natsume: (The most expensive item on this cafe’s menu is…… this one, huh.)

I’ll take a Jamaican blue mountain premium drip coffee.

Staff: Sure!

Staff: Sorry to keep you waiting! Here’s your Jamaican blue mountain premium drip coffee!

Natsume: Thanks.

(...... Yep, it’s tasty.)

(This could mean that the other drinks on the menu are good too. I think I’ll try and remember where this place is.)

And so, the party organizer goes around taste-testing cafes by first picking out an expensive item from their menu.

-In the case of Arakida Sosei-

-Coffee Shop-

Arakida: (It’s my first time stepping into this cafe so I’m not too sure what their menu is like……)

(...... Dammit. The words are so small that I can’t really make them out.)

Staff: Welco—EEP.

(A scary customer with a pissed-looking face has come……!)

(I need to make sure to not do anything that he’ll complain about……)

C-Can I take your order?

Arakida: (Didn’t she clearly shriek just now……?)

Sigh.

(I gave off the wrong impression again……)

Staff: (H-He sighed……!!! He’s definitely pissed……!)

Arakida: …… Oh, hey—

Staff: ARE YOU READY TO ORDER!?

Arakida: I’ll take this. The roasted green tea.

Staff: Huh?

Arakida: A roasted green tea.

Staff: S-Sure.

* * *

Staff: Sorry to have kept you waiting. Here’s your roasted green tea!

Arakida: Yeah, thanks.

(...... Phew. Roasted green tea really makes me feel the most at ease……)

Although he was someone who invited misunderstandings with his awkwardness, the hard-faced detective eventually ended up relaxing and softening out.
