Chapter 151: Suspect Miss Shion

“I actually agreed to her request.”

Exiting the apartment building where Narase’s house was located, Miyuki touched his nose with a hint of helplessness, muttering, “This is too coincidental. I just declined a gathering in class for Saturday, and if I run into them at the amusement park…”

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Miyuki shook his head. His reputation was already in tatters; encountering classmates on Saturday would just be “icing on the cake.”

After grabbing a few pastries to fill his stomach, Miyuki headed straight for the café where he worked part-time.

“Hey, Yagi-kun, long time no see.”

“Uh… Shion-senpai.”

As Miyuki rounded the back of the annex to the staff entrance, he unexpectedly ran into his long-unseen senior… Shion.

The tall and elegantly featured female college student standing next to him had her long hair stylishly arranged over her left shoulder. Wearing a black suit jacket over a form-fitting skirt, her legs covered in flesh-colored stockings were especially alluring.

Miyuki was momentarily stunned, then greeted her somewhat unexpectedly, “Good afternoon, Shion-senpai.”

“Good afternoon.”

Shion gave a gentle smile, reminiscent of a traditional Japanese beauty, and softly asked, “How is it? Miyuki-kun, are you adapting well to the work here?”

“Uh…”

Miyuki nodded, smiling, “Thanks to Shion-senpai, I got this well-paying job.”

“It’s all thanks to your own abilities.”

Shion-senpai stepped forward, kindly adjusting Miyuki’s tie with a motherly tenderness, “Alright, I won’t disturb your work. Go change into your work clothes.”

“Okay…”

Miyuki, a bit overwhelmed by Shion-senpai’s affectionate gesture, stepped back in surprise but maintained a polite smile, “Then, I’ll excuse myself.”

“Wait a moment.”

“Is there something else?”

Miyuki paused.

“It’s nothing much.”

Shion-senpai smiled, “I haven’t had dinner yet. I plan to eat in the café after finishing some work. Would you mind serving me, Yagi-kun?”

“Uh…”

Miyuki hesitated. Employee meals? This was the first time he had heard of this. Shion-senpai seemed to be a consultant for the café, handling interviews and such. Do high-level managers get free meals in the café?

“Of course.”

Despite his confusion, Miyuki agreed.

“Good afternoon, Kimura-senpai.”

Upon reaching the staff changing room, Miyuki greeted Kimura Koichi, who had just arrived and was still undressed.

“Good afternoon.”

Kimura, changing his clothes, asked with a peculiar tone, “Miyuki, are you close with Miss Shion?”

“Huh?”

Miyuki was taken aback, then realized Kimura must have seen him chatting with Shion-senpai. He replied nonchalantly, “Not very close. She’s just a senior from my high school.”

“I see…”

Kimura sounded a bit sour, “St. Cronia High School really does have a lot of beauties. My brother goes to the junior high section there. I regret not choosing that high school; then I would have been classmates with Miss Shion.”

Miyuki blinked, offering a dry laugh without responding.

After changing into his black tailcoat, Miyuki and Kimura stood at the café entrance, waiting for customers to turn their signs.

Soon, Miyuki saw Shion-senpai, whom he had just left, walking gracefully toward the main entrance. Then, he noticed Kimura-senpai’s eyes lighting up.

“Miss Shion, are you here to dine?”

Kimura-senpai stepped forward eagerly to ask.

“Yes.”

Shion-senpai smiled, gesturing to Miyuki, “Sorry, Kimura-san, but I’ve already made arrangements with Yagi-kun.”

“Sorry for the trouble.”

Kimura-senpai’s smile froze, and he stepped back, defeated.

Miyuki awkwardly tugged at his hair. It reminded him of the first time Ninomiya-senpai came here to “bully” him, and Kimura-senpai eagerly approached her, only to be rebuffed.

Now with Shion-senpai doing the same, he hoped he wouldn’t be resented for it. That would be too unfair.

“Please, Shion-senpai, uh… should I call you ‘Master’?”

Miyuki asked with composure. The title “Master” was just part of the job and nothing humiliating.

“No need.”

Shion-senpai smiled, casually taking Miyuki’s hand, “Just ‘Senpai’ is fine. Or you can call me Shion-senpai, Shion-neesan, or even ‘Honey-chan.’ Whatever you like.”

“I’ll stick with Shion-senpai.”

Miyuki’s face stiffened. Glancing at his hand held by hers, he was puzzled.

Though he had some connection with Shion-senpai, it was just a normal schoolmate relationship, or at most, friends. But her overly familiar actions, like fixing his tie and holding hands, seemed too forward.

“Here’s the menu.”

Sitting at a secluded table, Miyuki smiled and handed Shion-senpai the menu.

“Um…”

Shion-senpai flipped through the menu, then smiled ruefully, “I just realized our café offers a wide variety of dishes. I have trouble deciding. Could you help me choose, Yagi-kun?”

“Of course.”

Miyuki took the menu she handed back, casually browsing before asking, “How about the Burgundy beef stew? It’s quite good.”

“Let’s go with that.”

After ordering, Shion-senpai smiled, “Alright, don’t stand. Please sit.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t. I’m working.”

Miyuki maintained a professional smile.

“Don’t be so formal.”

Shion-senpai chuckled, “I was just joking about the employee meal. I’m a customer now, so listen and sit down.”

“Okay.”

Miyuki’s eyes twitched, but he complied with his role as a maid.

“By the way, Yagi-kun, our school festival starts in less than three weeks, right?”

“Yes.”

Shion-senpai’s smile was warm, “You promised to accompany me during the interview. Haven’t forgotten, have you?”

“That… of course.”

Miyuki hesitated before recalling the casual promise.

But…

Miyuki’s mouth twitched. He had agreed without thinking much of it then. Was she serious?

“I’ll look for you then. You can’t refuse.”

“If I’m free, I can accompany you for a walk.”

Miyuki gave a non-committal response.

“That’s great! Oh…”

Shion-senpai frowned slightly, “This won’t interfere with you and Ninomiya-senpai, right? If you have a girlfriend, you won’t have time for me.”

“Uh… Ninomiya-senpai and I aren’t at that stage.”

Miyuki looked awkward.

Mentioning Ninomiya-senpai reminded him of their impulsive trip to a love hotel on Saturday, which ended in a hasty retreat.

Now, he wondered if she was angry about being left at such a place. He considered apologizing.

“That’s good~”

Shion-senpai smiled gently, “Then let’s agree to go to the festival. Please accompany me.”

“Okay, okay.”

“And…”

Shion-senpai talked excessively, covering topics from the school festival to future children. Miyuki struggled to keep up.

“Let’s end it here for today.”

Nearly an hour later, Shion-senpai stood up, “Oh, I don’t have your contact. Let’s exchange LINE?”

“Okay.”

LINE was a popular messaging app in Japan and Korea, though Miyuki rarely used it.

Wait!

After exchanging LINE, Miyuki stared at his phone in shock.

“This…”

In Shion-senpai’s profile, her ID icon was a bright yellow crescent moon.

“Then, Yagi-kun, I’ll pay for myself. You take care of other customers. See you next time.”

“Goodbye.”

Miyuki regained composure, smiling weakly. Shion-senpai’s gentle expression now seemed ominously meaningful.
