Characters: Watabe Satoru & Asagiri Tsukasa

Title: Order that coffee! #8

-Coffee Shop-

Watabe: I’ll take one blended coffee to have here.

Staff: Sure! Please wait one moment.

Watabe: …… Hm? Are these donuts new to the menu?

Staff: That’s correct! They’re today’s newly released strawberry chocolate donuts!

Watabe: Oh? I see. I guess it’s the season for there to be more strawberry flavored items on the menu.

(She’d probably be thrilled over things like this……)

(Come to think of it, didn’t she say that their workload had calmed down for the moment?)

(Maybe they’re all in the office for today……)

Hey, could I get seven of these donuts? Also, add six more coffees to that order.

And can I change it all for to go?

Staff: No problem. Please wait one moment.

Staff: Sorry to have kept you waiting. There’s a lot to carry so will you be okay?

Watabe: Wow, that’s…… But I think I should be able to carry all of it.

Sorry for the sudden change in order. Thanks a lot.

(If I bring back this much with me, then I feel like they’ll call me a dad who’s bringing back souvenirs or something.)

(Oh well, it’s more delicious to eat it with everyone.)

With this thought in mind, the diplomat headed for the NCD in a jolly mood.

-In the case of Asagiri Tsukasa-

-Coffee Shop-

Asagiri: (...... I’m finally free to step outside. At this rate, it’s just more work when I get back……)

(It looks like I won’t be able to go home today……)

Staff: Welcome! Are you ready to order?

Asagiri: Yes, I’ll take a coffee, and……

Please give me all the potato chips inside this basket.

Staff: Huh!? A-All of it……?

Asagiri: That’s correct. So if you would?

Staff: O-Okay……

Asagiri: (All together, there are ten…… No, wait, there looks to be fifteen bags. I can relax now.)

I can keep at it till morning if I have this much on me……

Staff: Huh?

Asagiri: …… Is there a problem?

Staff: N-No……

……

Sorry to have kept you waiting. Here’s your order of coffee and the potato chips……

Also, this is a free sample of our new chocolate bar. If you’d like, please take it with you.

Asagiri: Oh? The sample size looks quite massive though…… Are you sure?

Staff: Yep. Please hang in there with your job.

Asagiri: ……! I will.

Yes, thank you.

(Did I accidentally say it out loud……?)

(...... It seems like I’ll be able to take it easy doing my best with this chocolate bar on me.)

The ace of the police department returned to the office feeling as if he managed to get rid of some of his fatigue.
