Chapter 307 - 307: Asumi Kominami (Bonus Chapter)
Weekend.
Today, Sumika Fujimiya has dressed up nicely.
She did this on Sawae's advice.
Because she's going to meet someone.
After getting off the train—
She heads to the appointed location.
There, she sees Rei Ao already waiting.
She quickly walks over to him and apologizes, "Sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?"
"Not at all—I just got here myself."
Rei Ao replies.
His gaze sweeps over her white dress.
He compliments her: "Fujimiya, looks like you took this seriously. You look stunning."
"Eh?"
Being praised like that, even though she'd been hoping he'd notice her outfit, Sumika Fujimiya can't help feeling happy yet shy.
"Well, I'm here to see you, after all."
She blurts out her true feelings before she can stop herself.
"!!!"
And then she regrets it immediately.
Externally, she tries to stay calm, but inside she's screaming, "Aaaah, dang it—why'd I make myself sound like some total fangirl?!"
"Haha, well, I feel honored to witness this gorgeous side of you, Fujimiya."
Rei Ao smiles.
"Ugh!"
He's doubled down on it, leaving Sumika a little lightheaded.
Fortunately, she hasn't forgotten why she's here.
She hands him the elegant paper bag she's been carrying.
"Rei Ao-kun, here's your jacket. I made sure to wash it thoroughly."
"Great."
He takes it naturally without even checking it.
So Sumika reminds him: "Aren't you going to see if everything's okay?"
"No need. It's just a jacket, and I don't think a beautiful girl like you, Sumika Fujimiya, would do anything weird to it."
"!!!"
She's happy to be called 'beautiful' again—
But the second part of his statement makes her face go red.
Because she did do something to it.
Like sniffing it, almost like a crazed fangirl.
Suddenly, the mood becomes a bit awkward.
Luckily, Rei Ao doesn't let the conversation stall. He promptly suggests, "Thanks for going out of your way to bring me my jacket. Let me treat you to some coffee. A friend of mine works part-time at a place that does great hand-drip coffee."
"Mm, sure... That'd be nice."
Sumika answers, somewhat stiffly.
And so—
Rei Ao takes her to the café where Gabriel works part-time.
Ding-a-ling!
Pushing the door open triggers an old-fashioned door chime, producing a crisp ring.
Hearing the sound, a waitress immediately comes to greet them.
"Welcome, both of you. Please take a seat over here."
"..."
The waitress isn't Gabriel.
She's a petite girl with long purple hair, braided into two triple-twists.
What catches Rei Ao's attention is that she looks familiar.
His keen gaze fixes on her.
He has a guess as to who this familiar-looking girl might be.
But he keeps that to himself for now.
"Rei Ao?!"
At that moment, Gabriel, passing by from the other side, notices him.
"Gabriel, you know this gentleman?"
The purple-haired girl looks at Gabriel curiously.
"Yeah... He's my friend and neighbor, and a senpai at school."
Gabriel lazily introduces him.
"Oh? So you're also in third year at the Shuchiin Academy?"
The girl's eyes light up.
She smiles mischievously and introduces herself. "Hi, I'm Asumi Kominami, Class 5 of the third year. Nice to meet you."
"Rei Ao, Class 3 of the third year. Nice to meet you."
Rei Ao responds courteously.
Meanwhile, he can't help thinking how coincidental it is to run into her here.
Kominami Aisumi—she's that senpai character from "We Never Learn" who isn't really one of the main heroines.
Kominami gives Gabriel a pat on the shoulder.
"Since he's your friend, I'll leave this to you, Gabriel."
With that, she leaves without giving Gabriel a chance to refuse.
"..."
"Tch."
Gabriel clicks her tongue, eyes half-lidded, then asks, "What would you like to drink?"
Rei Ao doesn't mind her attitude.
After all, he's seen an embarrassed, tearful, bright-red Gabriel before.
He says casually, "I'll have the house specialty."
Then he suggests to Sumika Fujimiya, "The owner's signature hand-drip coffee is really good. I recommend you try it."
"Oh, then I'll get the same."
Gabriel writes down the order on a slip.
"Two cups of the signature hand-drip coffee."
Rip. She tears off one copy, sticks it on the table, and slouches off.
After she leaves—
Sumika Fujimiya leans in curiously and asks, "Those two just now... they're also students at your school?"
"That's right. Gabriel is my underclassman and lives next door to me. Kominami Aisumi is in the same year as me."
"Wow, impressive."
Sumika marvels.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Rei Ao says, "Impressive? That's an odd way to put it."
"Haha, I mean it feels like your school is full of handsome guys and cute, beautiful girls. I only know you three, but all of you are so striking—it's really something..."
"It's not like everyone's like that."
Rei Ao chuckles wryly. "But there are indeed quite a few standouts."
Just among the people he knows, there are many.
And among them, quite a number have ended up with him.
But he quickly changes the subject back to Sumika Fujimiya.
"I'm actually curious—does the university you go to also have tons of beauties?"
"Eh?"
Hearing the subtext that he's complimenting her, Sumika blushes.
She's happy, yet humble. "Everyone's pretty, really—I'm just normal."
"Fujimiya-senpai, you're too modest. If someone like you counts as normal, then I doubt there'd be enough hands in the world to count who's truly beautiful."
"Ugh..."
Sumika Fujimiya can't quite express just how elated she feels. Being called beautiful is such a wonderful feeling.
After that, the conversation flows in a warm, friendly atmosphere.
They chat about personal interests and other small, amusing things.
Partway through, Gabriel brings their coffee, then leaves without a word.
Originally, it seemed like this would be a peaceful visit.
But trouble still found them.
Out of the corner of his eye, Rei Ao notices a bespectacled man giving furtive glances.
"Here you are, sir. Please enjoy your coffee."
Kominami Aisumi places a coffee cup in front of the bespectacled man and turns to leave.
"Wait a minute."
The man in the suit suddenly stops her.
"Is there a problem, sir?"
Aisumi turns back, confused.
The man narrows his eyes and points at the latte art. He complains, "Don't you think this latte art is a bit sloppy?"
"Huh?"
Aisumi leans in to get a closer look.
She fails to notice the man's foot shifting into position.
"Rei Ao?"
Sumika Fujimiya sees him get up suddenly.
Right as the man's shoe is about to slide under Aisumi's skirt—
"Aaaargh!!!"
The man screams like a stuck pig.
"Eh?"
Aisumi finds herself abruptly pulled aside by Rei Ao's hand.
At the same time, his right foot delivers a fierce kick to the man's foot.
His cold gaze shows not a trace of pity for the man's cries of pain.
Startled by the noise, everyone turns to look.
Rei Ao simply says coolly, "Taking secret pictures, are you? This isn't your first time, is it?"
