[Actual record] The story of XNUMX-yen bills and coffee: Miki ④

Miki's reply was a wonderful word that made me reconsider myself.

 

Miki: After I went to Tokyo, I thought that I had to be dyed in Tokyo, so I wore a little flashy fashion. That's why I changed into the clothes I usually come to at my parents' house."

 

Yoru no P "I see."

 

Miki: Do you think we can go home after taking a short break here?

 

P at night "Yeah, I think you'll be fine. The hotel isn't too far away. I'll take you to the station."

 

Miki: "Yes!"

 

ーーSaying that, I headed for the station through the downtown area.

 

On the way to the station, there were many people who were as drunk as I was.

 

Miki: "Why do you drink so much? Are you forced to drink at work?"

 

Yoru no P: How can I put it, if the other person can tell that I'm drinking, they'll look at me like I'm letting my guard down.

 

Miki: "That's right. But today, I'm glad I was able to see Mr. P's weakness at night."

 

(...weak point)

 

I took Miki to the station and I walked back to the hotel.

 

Certainly, I came to Tokyo from a rural life, and before I knew it, I might have been working hard to earn money and be dyed.It's not that I forgot myself, but I may have forgotten how to take care of myself because of social conflict.

 

On that day, I got a call from Miki after I arrived at the hotel, but I didn't feel well, so I just dived into bed and slept until morning.

 

The next day, I had some extra time in the morning, so I decided to take a rest.

My cell phone rang and when I answered it was Miki.

 

Miki: Ah, Mr. P at night, you finally made it!

 

Looking at the clock, it was 10:XNUMX in the morning, and it seems that I slept for quite some time.

 

Yoru no P: "Thank you for waking me up...and I'm sorry for worrying you. Ah, are you okay with dinner tonight??? If it's not convenient for you, let me know."

 

Miki: “I’m looking forward to the night! Please don’t drink too much lol.”

Miki is kind.

Each line is very comfortable.

 

I have an appointment in the afternoon and work at a cafe in the evening.

As I drank my coffee, I remembered the day I met Miki.

 

I have a twilight memory that there is such a connection.

 

When it was time to go to the meeting place, Miki was already waiting.

 

Miki "Good evening! Mr. P at night"

 

Night P "Good evening! Your clothes are cute today too. I think they're lovely."

 

Miki's clothes were not the ones in Tokyo, but rather plain clothes that suited this region.

But on the contrary, it was very good because it gave me a sense of security.

 

P at night "Then, shall we go?"

 

I will visit a famous local restaurant that I made a reservation in advance.

Although it is Japanese food, it is a restaurant where you can enjoy sashimi and yakitori in a tatami room.

 

It is a restaurant with an atmosphere similar to a Japanese restaurant with only a few dishes on it.

 

Miki: "If you're coming to a place like this, I should have dressed a little better (sweat)"

 

Yoru no P: "That's not true. I think you're cool."

 

Miki: "No, no, I'm embarrassed..."

 

You can enjoy sake while eating.

I drank too much yesterday, so I take my chaser and drink slowly.

Miki seemed fine.But she seemed to be the type who never changed her complexion.

 

After eating the main meal, the dessert was brought out, but Miki seemed to be trying to beat it a little.

 

After eating dessert, talk to Miki.

 

Yoru P "Thank you for today! Let's go out soon."

 

Miki: "Oh, yes, I was a little dozed off..."

 

P at night "I'll do the accounting."

 

Miki: "Yes, thank you."

 

When I left the restaurant, it was very cold outside and it was snowing.

Today, when I was thinking about what to do after this, I noticed that there was a cool cafe bar about 10 meters from the store, which seems to be in the story.

 

Evening P "Miki-san, why don't you stop by there? There's a bar, but there's also a cafe, so the atmosphere might be nice."

 

Miki: Yes.

 

Miki was a little out of line, but her spine was straight and she was standing firmly.

 

When I entered the shop, it had a classic appearance like a certain Ghibli movie, and the smell of delicious coffee wafted in the air.

 

Shopkeeper: “Welcome. Sit wherever you like.”

 

The owner was very friendly.

 

Miki and I will look at the menu together.

Miki ordered coffee.I ordered coffee with brandy or something.

 

Shopkeeper: “Brother, your choice is not good.”

 

ーー5 minutes later

 

Warm coffee and coffee with alcohol were brought.

 

Miki "Delicious! This coffee"

 

I also sip my drink.

 

After coming back to the city center, I tried to recreate this taste several times, but the balance of the taste is not perfect.I remember regretting many times that I should have asked the owner what was blended with the coffee, whether it was brandy or rum.

That'sIt was a very delicious drink.
