She arrived at the cat cafe cautiously, washed her hands at the front desk, and randomly found an empty seat.

It's located to the side of Miyazawa Itsuki.

The older female staff member came to take her order. After confirming the coffee she wanted, the staff member brought out ready-made cat food and cat toys.

Aoike Akane sat in her seat, holding cat food, her sunglasses slightly tilted as she scanned the entire coffee shop.

Finally, she noticed Maine, who was squatting on Miyazawa Itsuki's lap, and her shoulders trembled.

He seems quite devastated.

Miyazawa Itsuki had no intention of taking away the cat that Miss Ao liked, but unfortunately, the white Maine Coon just wouldn't leave.

Even though there was no cat food in her hands, she comfortably squatted on my lap, purring softly.

"..."

Miyazawa Itsuki felt himself being stared at by a sharp gaze.

He thought for a moment, then gave Aochi Akane a kind smile.

"Would you like to share a table, sir?"

Since the cat won't come to him, he'll just go to the cat. Miyazawa Itsuki was willing to do that.

He wasn't worried that suddenly suggesting sharing a table might startle Miss Qing.

When he's in his rented boyfriend mode, he's always successful at flirting; he can't possibly look more like a bad guy than when he's wearing glasses.

However, Aoike Akane clearly exuded a cold aura.

"Sorry, I don't usually share tables with others."

The atmosphere visibly tensed. Miyazawa Itsuki twitched his lips.

However, when we were in the coffee shop, Miss Qing often invited "me" to have coffee with her.

Who is it that doesn't usually share tables? It certainly can't be you.

Miyazawa Itsuki silently grumbled to himself.

But there was no complaint.

Right now, without his glasses, he's a complete stranger to Miss Qing.

For Miss Qing, who is so beautiful and an idol, a stranger's sudden suggestion to share a table is certainly something to be wary of.

It's because I haven't completely changed my habits when dealing with acquaintances. I subconsciously spoke with a slightly more familiar distance.

……

Seeing that Miyazawa no longer said anything, Aoike Akane's beautiful eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, flickered.

Haha, all you have is a pretty face, and you think you can get close to someone? How naive!

She had seen far too many people like that in the idol industry.

Although I have to admit that the man next to me is more pleasing to the eye than those others, their core personalities are actually quite similar.

He fawns over women whenever he sees them, even if they've never met or spoken a word to each other, and yet he's already offering suggestions to get closer to them.

You should refuse no matter how you look at it.

Unlike Rino, who is obsessed with her childhood sweetheart and unwilling to wake up, and Yuuka, who is deceived by virtual relationships on the Internet and loses her way, Rino is different.

Akane Aoike is very indifferent to matters of romantic love.

I never imagined developing that kind of relationship with anyone.

In the words of the priest from her hometown, it's just a common trait among shrine maidens.

Because their innate mission is to honor the gods, even if the gods have disappeared, they will not be entangled in worldly affairs.

Being able to go all the way to Tokyo to debut as an idol is already thanks to the great efforts of the priests from her hometown.

However, Akane Aoike never regretted coming to Tokyo, otherwise she would not have met the two most important friends in her life.

Hoshiname Rino and Akanishi Yuka.

Thinking of them, Aochi Akane's gaze softened slightly.

Rino recently returned to Kyoto to visit the property she had purchased.

He didn't return until the next morning. I'm sure he stayed overnight in one of the rooms of that mansion again.

Akane Aoike and Yuuka Akanishi also visited before.

There, the three shed their glamorous idol personas and simply hung out like ordinary teenage girls, joking around, talking about youthful topics, and then taking a break.

The room where the two slept was the guest room, and Hoshina Rino would always choose a room near the stairs.

That wasn't the master bedroom either. For some reason, Rino was obsessed with it and even unusually didn't want them to go in.

When Rino is in a bad mood, she always goes back there, rests for a night, and then recovers.

It's the same this time.

As for the flower of sorrow.

Aochi Akane sighed.

I don't know what's wrong with that child.

Not long ago, she suddenly announced that she would be transferring schools, not to Hikari-gaoka Girls' High School with them, but to a co-educational school in Meguro Ward.

Sakura-ryo... I think that's the name.

When asked why, she only gave vague answers.

However, both she and Rino actually understood the general reason.

The only things that could elicit such a strong reaction from Youhua, besides the two of them, were her "husband" in the online game.

The popular idol [Akanishi Cho] has a husband, albeit only in an online game—if this news got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

If Rino were to publicly announce that she has a childhood friend she can't forget, it would likely have the same effect... no, probably even worse.

Thinking about this, Aochi Akane felt a wave of exhaustion.

It's a cruel joke of fate that two members of a top idol group are lovestruck and have crushes on them.

Chapter 166 Public Execution

While we waited, Akane Aoike's coffee was served.

Miyazawa noticed that she hadn't ordered any dessert, just a regular cup of coffee, but she had bought a lot of different kinds of cat food.

The girl opened the bag of cat food and poured it into a special dish.

Many of the cats in the shop came up to him.

Akane Aochi stared at the cat eating, took a sip of her coffee, and never picked it up again.

Most people who come to cat cafes aren't there for the quality of the coffee, and Miss Qing is probably no exception.

Speaking of which, when I spotted Miss Qing earlier, besides marveling at how small the world is, I also felt a subtle sense of embarrassment.

I thought Miss Qing already had a more preferred shop and food.

After all, he was Miss Qing's "personal" pastry chef.

The two of them always seemed to have a sense of mutual understanding when it came to food.

Despite his professional-level dessert-making skills, Mrs. Morizumi was even more skilled than him.

But Ms. Qing only likes her own creations; in her words, it's because the inner soul of the desserts is different.

[The waiter's desserts are the ones that suit my taste the best.]

I cannot accept desserts other than those from the waiter.

Such a straightforward compliment would be an honor even for Miyazawa Itsuki.

but.

The pastry chef, who had been told this, happened to see customers visiting other cafes.

For a moment, I felt like crying.

But the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.

Miss Qing wasn't there to enjoy the desserts, and she wasn't even very interested in the coffee.

Her attention was focused more on the cat.

Does Miss Qing like cats?

Miyazawa Itsuki stroked the Maine Coon on his leg, and the white Maine Coon purred contentedly and simply lay down.

While waiting for his cup of coffee, his thoughts wandered freely.

If Miss Qing were your guest, how could you analyze her likes, dislikes, and preferences without using your abilities, and then give her a date that suits her tastes?

I like cats, have a sweet tooth, and don't seem to have much of a preference for coffee, though I'm slightly into mocha.

So the answer is simple: bring her to the cat cafe, and make the desserts for her in the self-service kitchen.

If your profession is being an idol, you're always in the spotlight, so you'll probably need a quiet environment to relax.

Temples would be great; there are many shrines and ancient temples in the Tokyo area. I feel that would suit Ms. Qing's temperament very well.

For the gift, I'll choose a hairpin. Miss Qing must look beautiful with her hair in a high ponytail.

How many points would you get for your answer to a question you set for yourself?

do not know.

It's impossible for him to be dating Miss Qing, so this can't be verified.

Let's just give it a perfect score.

The experience points gained from renting a boyfriend increase slightly.

"Um...sir, your coffee."

Miyazawa Itsuki raised his gaze.

"Thanks……"

The polite smile quickly froze.

Before me stood a shop assistant dressed in a maid outfit.

The maid outfits weren't even like the conservative styles of the Middle Ages; rather, they were somewhere between the two and the more suggestive.

She even wore a cat ear headdress, and her tail was also complete.

All eyes in the cat café are drawn to this place.

Miyazawa Itsuki remained silent.

There seemed to be a faint cracking sound in my mind, which must have been the last bit of dignity I had left.

The shop assistant blushed, and it seemed she had mustered a lot of courage. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly took the coffee and pastry plates off the counter.

Make a cat's paw shape with your hand:

"Dear guest, your cappuccino and cake have arrived... Meow~"

Miyazawa used his acting skills to prevent himself from showing any expression that would hurt the shop assistant.

Try to answer in a relaxed tone:

"...Thank you, I'm so glad. May I ask what the price of this service is?"

"One yen, just one yen... meow."

The lovely shop assistant, afraid of being misunderstood as a bad woman who cheats people out of money, quickly waved her hand.

Even this sentence had a meow-like ending. It left Miyazawa Itsuki speechless.

"Thank you, it's cute, I'll pay for it."

Miyazawa Itsuki nodded with difficulty.

This made the nervous shop assistant feel much more relaxed.
