SoyoTomori-chan, over here.

TomoriY-Yeah...!

Soyo*Sigh*... It suddenly started pouring down like this. Let's take cover under this café's awning for a while.

TomoriYeah.

SoyoTomori-chan, do you have a handkerchief? You can use mine if you don't mind.

TomoriThank you...

SoyoIf we weren't this soaked, we could have gone inside the café...

SoyoBut we might be in the way if we just stand here, so maybe I'll just buy some drinks.

SoyoTomori-chan, is there anything you want to drink?

TomoriUmm...

SoyoIf you don't have a preference, I'll just grab something. Is that okay with you?

TomoriYeah... Thank you.

SoyoWell then, please wait a moment.

Soyo(What would Tomori-chan like? If I recall correctly, the drink she likes is...)

SoyoSorry to keep you waiting, Tomori-chan. Is caffè mocha okay?

TomoriAh... yeah. Thank you. It's warm...

SoyoI thought a warm drink might be better. I'm glad they had caffè mocha.

Tomori...?

TomoriAh, um... Soyo-chan, what did you choose?

SoyoMine is hot black tea. Because my body's gotten cold.

TomoriSoyo-chan, you do like black tea.

SoyoYeah, I often drink it at cafés, but I like taking my time with it at home the best.

SoyoTomori-chan, why do you like caffè mocha?

TomoriWhy...?

SoyoBecause it's sweet, or because you like chocolate? No particular reason?

TomoriUm, I don't usually buy it...

Soyo...? Oh, really?

TomoriYeah...

SoyoOh...? Tomori-chan... You don't actually like caffè mocha?

TomoriAh... No.

SoyoOh, I see... Sorry, I think I got that wrong.

SoyoBut wait... Back when we met as CRYCHIC, didn't you order a caffè mocha?

TomoriUm... I wasn't sure what I should order. I'd seen you order it before, so... I'm sorry.

SoyoOh, I see...

TomoriSoyo-chan...?

SoyoNo. I just realized I was acting like I understood you.

SoyoWell, Tomori-chan, what kind of drinks do you like?

Tomori...

TomoriI can't think of one...

SoyoI see...

TomoriUmm...

SoyoWell, maybe you could try ordering all kinds of drinks and find your favorite from now on.

TomoriY-Yeah...!
