The other day,
Shizuku-chan and I had plans to head home together after our lesson.

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"I was thinking we could stop by somewhere on the way home today~."

"Wait... here!?"

It was an incredibly luxurious place.

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"The terrace seats here are just lovely~."

And on top of that,
the staff greeted Shizuku-chan so naturally.

πŸ’œ Shizuku
"Mashiro-san,

"I'd love to bring treats for everyone next time, too~."
