“A-Ah, it’s nothing really, I-I mean wh-what I did, not your cooking...y-your cooking is looking good, yeah good!”

Why was Momotaro’s cheeks turning a bit flush? He gently shakes his head, trying to remove that sense of warmness.

“A-Anyways! I will enjoy this, th-thank you...thank you very much.”

“Oh no, please don’t cry, Tenji-san! If you do that, then I might cry too!”

Tenji looked down at the wet splat of soft serve ice cream between his feet and shook his head sadly.

Akechi took a sip of his coffee while listening to the other’s plan out their next move in taking Sae-san’s Palace. It was almost funny how the fake detective sat with the thieves as if he belonged there, knowing all too well this was all going according to his plan. Akechi would smile and nod along with the others when a question came up, and it wasn’t until a waitress came by asking if anyone would like to order something else. While trying not to draw too much attention to himself the detective smiled, brushing his hair back. 

“I’ll have a couple vanilla scones please.” he said softly and not a couple of minutes later she had brought them out. Akechi glanced around the table and noticed the Okumura girl glancing his direction. Akechi smiled and pushed the plate towards her. 

Wanna run away together?

It was merely a question that Ren had proposed to Haru in complete jest after one of her rants about her situation, but the way she had giggled suggested that she didn’t hate that idea if only it were possible. Ren couldn’t say he blamed her; with all the shady business that was going on with Okumura Foods, and the engagement she wanted so badly to escape from... Anyone would want to run away from it all. Maybe they couldn’t necessarily abandon all responsibility and head for the hills, but Ren still wanted to do something for her. Perhaps Haru couldn’t truly run away from it all, but a nice outing a ways away from Shibuya seemed to at least do them some good. Apparently, Haru hadn’t been to Kichijoji very often, and since there was a lot to do within the city, there was plenty to get Haru’s mind off of external stress. Takakura and Sugimura who? Names like those didn’t matter today. In fact, for at least a few hours, they could even pretend that they just didn’t even exist.

Haru wanted to see it all among the simple lives of local business owners that pursued their own passions. At the moment, their current stop was the shop right besides Penguin Sniper that was full of various crystals, minerals, and stones. Stoneon, it was called? At any rate, they were nice to look at. Perhaps they’d do Haru some good for relieving stress.

Play nice with the sponsor’s child. Her mother’s tone had been almost demeaning this time, leaving Hifumi feeling overdressed and humiliated as her mother and Okumura left to talk...whatever her mother’s goals were.

Honestly. It wasn’t as if Okumura’s brand lined up with shogi very well. Most likely, nothing would come of this save for an awkward evening alone with the man’s daughter.

“Say no more! We can hurry over to Big Bang Burger! You can have whatever you’d like, my treat! You need energy.”

Oh man, Big Bang Burger sounded good right about now.
