「Wow, it’s spacious and beautiful.」
Looking around the fashionable open cafe, Uehara-san seems surprised at its size.
Internet cafes have a somewhat dirty image. I guess the net cafes here are making a corporate effort to make themselves easily accessible to female customers.
「Heh…… I see they have a variety of dishes available. Looks like there’s pasta, curry, ramen… even a karaoke room here!」
Uehara-san gazes happily at the pop-ups and posters in the store.
Come to think of it, I have heard that karaoke boxes these days also offer some sort of karaoke and lunch set.
「Uhm… Is the open cafe just alright?」
I pointed to the price list for a café-style open cafe, where tables can be moved freely, and asked Uehara-san for her agreement.
「I prefer this one.」
I checked the price list that Mr. Uehara pointed to.
——Couple seats⁉︎︎
「Eh? Why a private room?」
「Well— I want to talk in a quiet place, and I’m interested in a private room.」
「Well, okay, but… which one do you want?」
There are two types of rooms to choose from: flat seats, which require the removal of shoes and are completely flat, with cushions to stretch out your legs, and couches, which are used with shoes on.
「I like the flat seat!」
Uehara-san’s answer was immediate.
「T–Then, let’s have the flat seats.」
「Flat in couple seats, please.」
When I told the receptionist what kind of seat I wanted, the male staff member glanced at Uehara-san and then at me. This is the usual thing. It’s a kind of a price tag for me having Uehara-san with me.
Ordinary people don’t do anything even if they have something on their mind about the other person. But it’s not just that kind of person. So the spark of resentment caused by jealousy follows you everywhere you go, not just to school.
「Private rooms are downstairs, so we’ll go down the stairs there.」
「Oh, wait, I’ll take the Demon Avenger manga with me, I’ll go look for it.」
「Then that’s where it’s at.」
I point to the popular manga section.
「Huh? They only have the first ten volumes.」
Uehara-san asked me if there were any books after volume 11. Apparently, it was on loan.
「I think someone else may have taken it after the 11th volume. You can come back later to check.」
「Muhh, too bad. Well, let’s bring drinks for the two of us.」
Uehara-san is moderately greedy and wants to take it all at once.
「You can’t hold that much. Let’s put the book down and come back for another one.」
We moved to our designated private room.
「Wow…… this is a more private room than I thought.」
When we entered the private room, Uehara-san was surprised.
The upper part of the private room is empty, so it is not completely private, but it feels like a basic lounging style with a sofa on the flat floor. It’s like…… this was good for taking a nap but not for reading comics for a long time.
「I think we could get naughty here as a couple.」
I have heard that some couples actually do that kind of thing.
「I hear some people try to use it as a hotel, but with security cameras on the ceiling, I don’t think that’s possible.」
Uehara-san seems to be looking up at the ceiling, searching for the camera. In this net café, there are several small, round, dome-shaped cameras installed on the ceiling.
「Oh, was that it? There’s some kind of clear round thing.」
「Oh yeah, I think those are security cameras.」
「We’re being watched properly!」
「That sort of thing. There seems to be a lot of theft with overnight guests and such. I don’t know if just having a security camera on it is a deterrent.」
「Is this computer available for unlimited use?」
Uehara-san, curious about her first Internet cafe, asks me all kinds of questions.
「You can use the computer to do research, watch videos, play games, and basically use it freely.」
「Hey, hey, what’s with the naughty-looking icons? What’s this?」
「What is it? Was it a music video (promotional video) for gravure idols or something?」
We are minors and cannot view adult related material.
「Let’s watch it for a while.」
Then, Uehara-san clicks on the icon with the mouse.
The application that launched seemed to offer PVs of various gravure idols.
「Which girl does Tōyama prefer?」
Uehara-san asked in front of a list of gravure idol images and profiles lined up in the window.
I’m sorry to these guavian idols, but Uehara-san is many times prettier than them. Her style is on par with that of gravure models.
Uehara-san is waiting for my answer with a twinkle in her eye. Why are you looking at me with such expectant eyes?
Do I have to answer?
I don’t think it’s the same as choosing any of the gravure idols shown in this window.
「Uhm… I don’t really know what I like or anything, but…… Uehara is several times prettier than them.」
「You’re shamelessly saying that kind of thing again …ugh …Toyama is a natural, isn’t he…?」
「What do you mean by natural?」
「A, natural, lady-killer!」
No, that’s not a quirk. How could it be with this look.
「How can that be with these plain looks?」
「Tōyama… you know, looks don’t really have much to do with it. Some of them have good faces but shitty personalities, right?」
I didn’t know Uehara-san was so foul-mouthed.
「W–Well, there are people like that.」
I remembered someone in my class.
「I have learned it. I’ve been reflecting on how I didn’t really understand back then that a man is what’s inside, not what’s on his face…… And you know what—」
Something about Uehara-san began to give an impassioned speech. How long will this continue?
「——So that’s what this is about.」
It was a bit of a long story and I honestly didn’t listen to much of it.
「I see. Yet, I don’t understand.」
Uehara-san is talkative today. Did she get excited after watching the movie?
「I’m going to go get a drink.」
「Ah, I’m also going 」
「Then don’t leave any valuables behind.」
Uehara-san’s eyes lit up in front of the drink bar.
「Wow, they have a better drink bar than a bad family restaurant.」
The shop offers everything from soft drinks to tea bags and soft serve ice cream servers.
Uehara-san already has three drinks and soft serve ice cream on a tray.
「It’s free, so I have to drink a lot of things. What do you like toyama?」
「I’d like… to have cola.」
Uehara-san prepared a new cup and began pouring cola.
「Oh, I’m going to the bathroom, so go ahead and grab a drink and come back.」
「Okay, I got it. Do you remember the room number?」
「Un, I remembered.」
I left Uehara-san and returned to our private room with a tray of drinks.
