Adonis: …Hm?

(Could that person looking around uneasily with a smartphone be Producer? Yes, that back is definitely Producer’s.)

(I don’t know if in our current relationship, it is ok to call out… If I suddenly raise my voice, I might scare her.)

(Do I wait until Producer notices me? Or do I approach casually?)

(Um, troublesome… I don’t know what I should do…)

(Though, following Producer from a distance is like being her shadow.)

(…As expected, she noticed me. Her pace is little by little slowing down.)

I apologize. Since something seemed to be troubling you, I was checking the circumstances.

Hmm. Going shopping was good, but you are troubled because you are lost?

If you are ok with me, I will show you the way.

It’s not a bother and there is no need to decline. You are my classmate as well and I can’t abandon a weak living being.

Uh, please don’t put your smartphone in sleep mode. I’m not good handling smartphones, I was told the instructions but I can’t understand how to use it.

That’s not it?

If I know a place where smartphones are displayed? Sorry, I jumped to conclusions.

I know a store like that. If you walk along the street and turn right in the corner at the end of the way, you can see your goal.

If you buy any heavy packages, I’ll help too.

Like I said before. No matter how often you decline or prefer to not cause trouble, I’ll worry.

Since I have a big figure, just standing by my side gives an intimidating atmosphere.

As expected, you are also afraid of me, right?

That’s not true, you say? Are you saying I’m gentle? Producer-san is gentle for sure.

Yes. I’ll help you with the shopping as thanks, what do you want me to do?

Do you think you still didn’t help enough on stage to be thanked? You are really righteous, Producer.

However, there is no need to thank me suddenly. Let’s think along the way.

Hm, what’s the matter, Producer? It’s just the coffee shop from before.

What kind of coffee shop am I interested in?

I see. Producer, do you like sweets?

Your expression turned into a blank stare. I’m sorry, it was too sudden, right?

It’s that coffee shop. I know their snacks and desserts are top quality. Their parfait is particularly popular.

Parfait. You reacted when I said this word. I see, does Producer also like sweets? If possible, you should try to go there once.

I planned to go too, but I’ll help you with shopping. But after that’s finished…

Hm, you will treat me to the coffee shop’s parfait as thanks, you say?

Since Producer also wants to try the parfait and it was a request, I won’t deny.

Certainly, going all the way here to do shopping just to return would be a handful if you think about it.

Entering the coffee shop immediately would be better, I suppose.

I want you to be at peace. I’ll assure that the taste suits your expectations.

Location: Coffee Shop

One fruit parfait.

…And Producer’s? The same as me?

I understand. So, two fruit parfaits.

Hm? Does this shop has a calm atmosphere, you say?

Yeah. Since many guests are here to work, students like us are unusual, I think.

Luckily, it seems we managed to avoid crowds. There aren’t many guests now.

 

 

Oh, I didn’t need to wait long for the parfait.

As expected, fruits parfaits are really good. There is juicy fruit overflowing to the bowl’s edge. I’m excited to eat it.

The strawberry’s bitter sweetness spreads all across my mouth, the banana’s sweetness and the kiwi’s sourness, and the equally good sweetness of the cream is bringing superb harmony.

~ ……

Producer? You are staring at me, what is it?

Eat the parfait. The ice cream will melt.

It’s ok to eat just the cream too, but it’s twice as delicious to eat together with the fruits.

I see. Watching me make such a happy face while eating gave you a pleasant feeling.

Sweets make people happy. Idols too, make people happy. They make me smile.

I aim to be an idol like this, too.
