Book 2: Chapter 33: Side story: The young Lady's quite frequent Social Studies Part 4
Three days had passed since Ciel and Effy began helping out at the diner. Although both of them looked like they were familiar with the work from the start, they got even better at it during these three days. They were also very dependable. And since they started working for them, Leena and Regina finally had some free time. Also, maybe due to them being able to attend to Leena’s father’s nursing, his condition was slowly getting better as well.
It happened on the day when Leena felt like everything was headed in the right direction. When she casually glanced over the seats at one of the tables, just around the time when the lunch rush hour passed, a familiar young girl was seated in one of the chairs as a customer. It was the plain-looking young girl who tended to the store of the supplier. Seated across her was a boy who looked to be of a similar age to her and they seemed to be pretty close.
“Welcome! Are you on a date today?”
“Ehehe, does it look that way?” The young girl asked, smiling innocently. Her smile turned the air around them honey-sweet. As it seemed better not to intrude on them, Leena simply asked what they would like to order right after and then tried to excuse herself. But, she was stopped by the young girl. “Ah, wait a sec!”
“What is it?”
“I was wondering what happened to that stuff I gave you last time.”
“Aah, the potatoes? I’ve been testing them out in a lot of ways.”
“Whoa, really?! What did you make?”
The fact that she was very interested in those dishes was clearly written on the young girl’s face.
