“Should we just go on a date like this?”

It was when I thought I’d already bought the dishes I wanted and that maybe my errands were done, while wistfully sipping my favorite Earl Grey shake through a straw.

“Shall we keep this as a date? Is there anywhere you want to go?”

Startled, I looked up to see Mie-kun smiling happily at me.

...Did he just say date??? With me?

Contrary to my blank, frozen state, he seems to be cheerfully searching for something on his phone, as if wondering what might be nearby~
