"I understand, does Yuu-chan always think of me this way? It's a bit sad~ But I'm really worried about the problem of the novel, right?"

Kato Yusuke took a sip of coffee, looked at her seriously and said, "Senior, you are not such a lack of confidence. I believe in you."

"...!"

Shiyu's eyes were inexplicably bright, and then he quietly put a hand under the table.

Click...

"...Hey, could you please repeat what you just said? Yuu-chan."

"Why?"

"It's nothing, I just want to listen to it again, isn't it?"

As the girl spoke, she raised her gaze, put her right hand on her chest, showed a shy smile, and looked over with a slightly upward gaze.

She looked like a dreaming girl facing the lover of her dreams, showing her innocent charm.

Even though he knew that this was a deliberate act, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and drank coffee in a disguised manner.

"...Anyway, when it comes to novels, you don't have to be so unsure. As long as you write the ending, readers will buy it no matter what."

"Even so, I still want to hear your opinion. I want to know what you think."

"Compared to my personal opinion, the opinions of public readers are more important."

"I don't care about other people, I just want to know what Yu-chan wants."

"...For a writer, this seems a bit excessive."

"Come on, please? Boyfriend~"

Shiyu blinked his eyes slyly and said leisurely: "After all, there is nothing more important to Kasumigaoka Shiyu than you."

"If we are discussing novels, we should use Kasumi Shiko's identity here."

Kato Yusuke put down the mug, rubbed his eyebrows, and stared at the table, trying not to let their eyes meet.

"From a commercial perspective, the more popular Zhenwei is a reasonable choice, but reasonable may not necessarily be correct. Which one to choose depends on teacher Kasumi Shiko herself."

"You didn't say anything at all, right?"

"Senior Shiyu said before that you like to create with me, right?"

"That's true, but that's not an explanation, is it?"

"On the contrary, I also like that part of senior Shiyu. That kind of senior makes me feel very dazzling."

"——! Wait a minute, um, please speak slowly... I'm not mentally prepared yet."

Shiyu said repeatedly with a panicked expression on his face, as if he had completely lost control.

Shyness, surprise, shyness, excitement, all mixed together, presented on that slightly red face.

"As a writer, I believe that Senior Shiyu can come up with the answer by thinking on her own. That's what I think."

After saying this, Kato Yusuke raised his head and looked at the opposite side with sincere and trusting eyes. The deep night glow bloomed in his eyes, giving him a peaceful and reassuring feeling.

Shiyu looked at him in a daze, with a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with light. Finally, he lowered his head and whispered: "Yu-chan, you are so cunning, but I just like you like this."

After speaking, she raised her head again, a gentle smile blooming on her face.

Time flows smoothly on the dining table for four.

Before the atmosphere became strange, the waiter arrived just in time and served the two people a hamburger steak set.

The steaming burger steaks sizzle on the iron plate, and the food is rich in aroma.

"Oh? It looks surprisingly good~"

"indeed so."

Shiyu happily cut off a small piece of his own hamburger steak, then stuck it in with a metal fork, and was about to speak...

"——I don't eat Japanese-style sauce, Shiyu-senpai."

"...a cunning man."

Before he could raise his outstretched right hand, he was strangled in the cradle.

"Maybe it's because senior sister's behavior is easier to predict."

"Can you feed me then?"

No response, as if not heard.

After finishing the main meal, Kato Yusuke asked: "Shiba-senpai, do you want dessert?"

"No need for my words, Yu-chan, do you want to eat?"

"Forget it, do you want another cup of coffee?"

"Weird, if you want to get me drunk, coffee will only make me more energetic as I drink it. At least get some liqueur -"

"Minors are not allowed to buy alcohol, and I don't have that idea."

"...Tsk, then it's up to you to do whatever you like, I can do it."

Kato Yusuke raised his hand to call the waiter and ordered another cup of coffee for the two of them.

After waiting for a while at the seat, the coffee was served.

"So."

Shiyu picked up the mug with both hands and took a sip gracefully, "Isn't it time to get down to business? Yu-chan should have something to say to me, right?"

"Have you been seen through?"

"After all, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to ask me out. Besides, you didn't want to hide it, right?"

"That's right."

"Well, you can start talking anytime you're ready, I'm all ears."

Kato Yusuke nodded and said a good word, put down the coffee in his hand, and slowly said:

"Regarding what happened last time, I'm here to apologize to you, Shiyu-senpai. I'm sorry."

Ding dong~

The metal stirring rod lightly collides with the cup, making a pleasant crisp sound.
