Cafe LycoReco.
"Cheers! (x4),"
Ryunosuke, Takina, Chisato, and Shino raised their beer glasses and clinked them together, celebrating the successful completion of their latest mission.
Of course, what they were drinking wasn't actually alcohol, but soft drinks.
Chisato exclaimed with a gallant flourish, "Today is on me! Drink as much as you want! Eat as much as you want!"
Shino quietly offered a biting comment. "Eating in your own shop, using the office budget to boot—aren't you spending zero cents of your own money? The organization will surely reimburse the costs."
Her cover blown, Chisato scratched her cheek awkwardly. "Shinon-chan, it's not nice to expose my secrets like that. After all, we are comrades-in-arms who just fought side-by-side."
Takina also joined in the merciless exposure. "If you usually worked with less carelessness and more discipline, our work efficiency would definitely be much higher."
At this stage, Takina was still a new member who hadn't been "corrupted" by Chisato's easygoing nature.
Chisato draped an arm around Takina's shoulder like a flirtatious middle-aged man, smirking.
"Well, daily work is boring, isn't it? If we don't look for entertainment, wouldn't life be less fun?"
Takina brushed away Chisato's hand as it tried to wander toward her chest.
Chisato indeed had slight yuri tendencies, but the ever-stiff Takina didn't notice; she simply felt uncomfortable being touched and dismissed it as a joke between coworkers.
Chisato looked slightly disappointed that her hand was brushed off.
"Just a little more and I could have felt Takina-chan's chest to test the size."
Ryunosuke nodded in agreement and provided very precise data.
"Inoue Takina's bust size is approximately a B."
Chisato looked utterly shocked. "How could you know? Don't tell me you've held them before?"
Ryunosuke's eyes sparkled for a moment. "Because my eyes are rulers!" (Inside his head, he added: Suzune's size is almost the same as hers; I can tell with one look because I've definitely held that size before.)
Takina closed her eyes, her eyebrows twitching, and the glass in her hand nearly shattered from her grip, but she tried her hardest to ignore these two nuisances.
This only made Chisato more interested. She pushed Shino in front of Ryunosuke and told him to guess her size too.
Ryunosuke didn't even look for long before murmuring a single letter quietly.
"A..."
Shino's face instantly turned crimson. She felt she had just received an incredible insult.
Chisato, on the other hand, praised Ryunosuke because his guess was spot on.
Ryunosuke looked at her as if looking at a fool. "With a chest that flat, you don't even have to look to know it's an A, right? Is there even a size smaller than A?"
Shino finally exploded. She grabbed a plate of omurice from the table and dumped it directly onto Ryunosuke's face, even pressing it down hard.
"Just eat your omurice! Shut that foul mouth of yours!"
Chisato, realizing the joke had gone too far, quickly pulled Shino back and tried to calm her down. After all, she was the one who started this banter, and Ryunosuke was the one who suffered the consequences.
"Haha, don't be like that, Shinon-chan, don't be mad anymore."
Chisato tried to pull her away, while Shino looked like a raging tigress, baring her fangs with a fierce expression.
Ryunosuke could only sigh in resignation while taking a tissue to wipe the omurice remnants from his face.
This time, it was indeed his fault for accidentally being too honest.
Girls hate it most when men call them "flat," and Ryunosuke had made that fatal mistake.
This happened because, at school, most of the girls were his girlfriends, so speaking like that usually only ended with a playful smack.
After calming Shino down, Chisato immediately approached Ryunosuke and asked enthusiastically.
"Can you really guess other people's sizes? Try guessing mine."
Ryunosuke asked hesitantly.
"Are you sure?"
"You're not going to dump omurice on my face like Asada just did, right?"
"How could I? Do I look like that kind of person~" Chisato acted nonchalant and pressed Ryunosuke to guess.
Ryunosuke was forced to murmur a letter.
"C... and there's a tendency toward C+..."
"Eeeek!!!" Chisato immediately covered her chest and stepped back quickly. "You pervert!"
Ryunosuke: "😐"
"Weren't you the one who told me to guess?"
Chisato finally stopped joking and invited him to return to action tomorrow night.
Ryunosuke stated it was no problem, as he truly wanted to keep earning extra money.
Takina and Shino, seeing that everyone was finished eating, prepared to clear the table.
Ryunosuke stopped them and said that he would wash the dishes, telling them both to go rest first.
Chisato sipped her canned drink and watched him. She realized that Ryunosuke had something he wanted to discuss privately, so she also casually waved to tell her two colleagues to leave.
"You two go rest, let Ryunosuke and me handle this."
Takina and Shino exchanged glances. Since someone else wanted to clean up the mess, they were perfectly happy with that. Takina went up to the second floor to sleep, while Shino headed home.
Now only Ryunosuke and Chisato remained.
Chisato took another sip of her drink and spoke with a feigned casual tone.
"Something you want to talk to me about?"
Ryunosuke laced his fingers together under the table, hesitant about whether he should say it.
Chisato blinked cutely and covered her mouth in feigned shock.
"Don't tell me you're going to confess your love to me?"
"Oh my goodness!"
"That's not allowed, you know! My future boyfriend must be a person who is beneath one person but above ten thousand."
Ryunosuke almost fell off his chair.
He was truly baffled by Chisato's nonsensical behavior, but thanks to that, Ryunosuke's mental burden vanished instantly. Perhaps this was intentional on Chisato's part.
Ryunosuke smiled wryly and revealed his true intention.
"I have a friend who has a heart condition."
Ryunosuke told Chisato about Arisu's condition. At the same time, he revealed that he already knew the secret of Chisato's own mechanical heart.
Chisato was silent for a long time, then felt her own chest.
"What is this? Turns out you just want my heart."
Ryunosuke: "Please stop talking in sentences that invite such misunderstandings, okay?"
