You only care about the strategy

Chapter 296 Maruyama Coffee
In front of the wooden steps of Chunyu Balcony, Shiina Kiri stopped for a moment and looked around.

The glass of the cafe behind me reflected a colorful halo, and hundreds of umbrellas in the air looked like a sky parade, flowing with pink, purple, orange and red in the twilight.

It is said that it is limited to the rainy season. Now that we are about to enter August, it may be removed in the next two days.

When his cell phone vibrated, he was staring at the blue dragonfly hovering between the umbrellas, watching it fall from one umbrella tip to another.

"Xiao Wu, sister will be here soon! I want a cup of cold brew coffee."

At the end, there is a cartoon expression of a goldfish blowing bubbles.

Shiina Kiri couldn't help but chuckle. How could a bad woman collect such cute emoticons?

He thought again of the Hello Kitty that she had accidentally glimpsed when she was drunk before, and thought that perhaps her maturity combined with a hint of cuteness was one of the reasons why so many people flocked to her?

"Drive slowly and be safe."

Pushing open the glass door of "Maruyama Coffee", the Showa-style copper bean grinder is humming, and the burnt aroma of the roasted beans mixed with the cool air hits you in the face.

The waiter behind the wooden bar smiled at him, and Shiina Kiri nodded in response.

"Two cold brew coffees and two mocha ice creams. Um, one of them will be served ten minutes later, please."

There is an ice cream display sign at the entrance of the coffee shop, the price is 468 yen, and it seems to be a seasonal special.

The soft serve ice cream topped with maple syrup looks delicious. I think Miyuki Momotani would like it.

It was almost closing time and there were not many customers in the store. He walked towards the empty seat near the floor-to-ceiling window and picked up a collection of Shakespeare's works as he passed by the bookshelf.

This coffee shop is a combination of a coffee shop and a bookstore, with many brown wooden bookshelves as tall as a person placed near the walls.

For Shiina Kiri today, reading is no longer just a means of upgrading himself, he has begun to enjoy reading itself.

Several people in the coffee shop were also reading books with their heads down, and the pages of the books made a "clicking" sound as they turned.

Even tourists from other places who come here to check in and are a little hurried will symbolically take a book and open it to pose for photos.

When the doorbell rang, he looked up and saw the hem of the woman's beige dress sweeping across the threshold, so he raised his hand to signal.

"Sorry sorry, I got up late today."

The woman clasped her hands together, tilted her head and leaned forward slightly, with a smile in her peach blossom eyes.

When she sent the message to Shiina Kiri, she was still sleeping in her big bed at home, torn between staying in bed and seeing him.

"It's okay, I just got here a while ago."

Shiina Kiri handed over the ice cream and subconsciously glanced at the wall clock behind her when she sat down.

"18:47"

Today he even had a big dinner in the cafeteria, with plenty of beef and shrimp, not to mention lots of carbohydrates.

"Hmm, so sweet." The woman took a sip.

Shiina Kiri caught a glimpse of the light blue blood vessels near her collarbone rising and falling slightly as she swallowed, and suddenly understood something.

In "Paradise Lost", the hero and heroine finally took poison and died in each other's arms.

From a narrow perspective, the male protagonist, who is in his fifties, is increasingly unable to satisfy his desire for the female protagonist, and is confused about whether their future will repeat the same mistakes as their original marriages.

A woman in her thirties is at the age when she is as vigorous as a wolf or a tiger. Not to mention the male protagonist in the book, even he can't stand it.

Although there is more intensive kendo training during the day.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip.

The store was air-conditioned, so the cup was still cool and had a fresh taste that overwhelmed the bitterness.

"It's the end of the umbrella season."

The woman tilted her head to look outside the house, her neck drawing a porcelain white arc, and the umbrellas in the sky were infected by the dusk.

"We caught it. It's dusk, and it's very beautiful." Shiina Kiri agreed, and then quietly followed the woman's gaze to look out the window.

They have been to quite a few places these days.

For example, Yunchang Lake is the filming location of "Quartet", a beautiful artificial lake with the reputation of "Swan Lake". We also saw the more than 70-meter-wide Baisi Waterfall. That day, we rode bicycles through the forest trails, with birds singing in the treetops and the wind blowing gently.

There is also the Stone Church made of stone and glass and the candlelight night of the Plateau Church, where I was fortunate enough to see a couple holding their wedding.

Now in this antique coffee shop, as the sun was setting, she looked at him.

"Xiao Wu is so pretty." When she noticed Shiina Wu turning around, she murmured like a nympho, but gave people a feeling that could not be desecrated with words.

It’s like the saint holding her chest and saying, “God loves the world.”

It should be purely because of love, and has nothing to do with those vulgar desires.

Then I realized that she is a bad woman, so it is normal for her to confuse people.

“It feels like what I should say.”

Shiina Kiri was moved again.

Miyuki Momotani chuckled, "Then Kirito, please tell me in advance next time."

"Speaking in advance..." Shiina Kiri pondered for a moment, "Isn't that what you, the store manager, are thinking?"

"Little Misty~"

This tone really makes people feel itchy and unwilling to accept it.

"Where are you going tomorrow?" Shiina Kiri changed the subject and gently shook the empty porcelain cup.

"Hmm..." The woman thought for a moment and smiled slightly, "Xiao Wu, how about you just come to my house."

"Manager, your true colors are revealed." Shiina Kiri pretended to sigh.

"I've been sleeping better these past two days, so I might get up even later tomorrow."

The woman stretched casually, and her beautiful curves trembled in front of Shiina Kiri.

I am obviously very tired every day, but after waking up, I feel like I am reborn and my whole body is numb.

The last time I felt this way seemed to be several years ago.

Is it true, as Xiao Wu said, that being in love can make people younger in mentality?

I used to worry about the fine lines around my eyes, but now I don’t care about them at all, and it seems like they have really disappeared.

"Are you getting up later and later?"

"OK."

Shiina Kiri remembered something he discovered while taking a shower just now - his physical fitness dropped from 3.57 to 3.28.

Before this, the four-dimensional attributes were always in a + state, and this was the first time that the attributes dropped.

Now his memory has already surpassed that of ordinary people, not to mention such an important attribute as "physique", so he naturally remembers it clearly.

But the system didn't give any prompts, which is extremely unreliable.

Based on what the woman said, Shiina Kiri guessed that it was most likely related to the so-called passive skill "vitality"?
Of course, it may also be that he has been too tired these days and has overdrawn his body.

But this possibility is not very high.

"Shall we go then?"

Truth can only be revealed through practice, and he wanted to see if it was what he had imagined.

"Now?"

"What's wrong."

"Sister hasn't eaten anything all day, Xiao Wu." The woman said coquettishly.

"Well, let's go to a nearby restaurant to eat first. We can also buy some bread from the bakery on the roadside. When we came here, we saw a lot of people queuing in front of the store. It should taste good."

"can."
