Chapter 376

While coffee can be used to stay alert, the sugar content of the coffee brewed by Cangyue Yuri was enough to make one feel sleepy.

Cangyue Yuri also picked up her coffee cup, leaned against the counter, and gently blew on the rim of the cup.

Recently, she seems to have made quite a bit of progress in her coffee-making skills.

Once I'm confident enough, I can make it for Miss Haihara and the others to try.

However, it seems that Ms. Haihara prefers instant coffee.

"Speaking of which, today seems to be a school day. That child looks like a high school student. Is it alright for him to walk alone on the street in this cold weather?"

"Hmm? Maybe it just looks small..."

Halfway through her sentence, Cangyue Yuri followed Sakurai's gaze, then suddenly stopped herself, turning her gaze blankly to the outside world separated by the transparent glass.

There, an unassuming black-haired girl in winter clothes was gazing into the distance outside the café, seemingly searching for something.

Before even Sakurai could react upon seeing the girl, Cangyue Yuri put down her coffee cup.

"Um... excuse me, I'll be right out."

Miss Sakurai looked at Cangyue Yuri as she ran off, a bewildered expression on her face.

Is that child someone Cangyue Yuri knows?

This was the first time she had ever seen Cangyue Yuri like this; she had only seen her outside, and she hadn't expected such a reaction.

Without a doubt, the figure that Cangyue Yuri saw outside the store was the high school version of Haihara.

Not only did his body revert to that of a high school student, but he also lost all his memories from high school onwards.

Nowadays, Haihara's schedule and interpersonal relationships are very simple, so when Cangyue Yuri saw Haihara outside the coffee shop, she already realized that this was a bit strange.

Normally, Haihara should be at Takanashi's house right now.

Going out alone in such cold weather without anyone knowing was a good thing; thankfully, she found out, otherwise, it would have been very worrying.

"So, why did you go out alone in such cold weather? It's very unsafe."

When the question was asked, Cangyue Yuri had already led Haihara into the café to warm up. There were plenty of empty seats and heating, making the temperature very comfortable.

Haihara Lily Chou was suddenly brought into an unfamiliar but stylish-looking café, and she clearly felt awkward, but she still answered:

"As I just told you, I was waiting for someone, but I haven't seen them yet."

Originally, Cangyue Yuri to ask directly who she was waiting for.

But upon closer reflection, if it were Takanashi or her friends asking, perhaps Haihara would answer. However, in Haihara's eyes, she seems to be a perverted woman who climbs naked onto someone's bed in the middle of the night.

Given Haihara's personality, she most likely won't answer.

"It's alright to wait here for a while, it's quite cold outside. I can even buy you a cup of coffee."

"Coffee... I brought my wallet."

As she spoke, Haihara reached into her pocket to take out some money.

"Of course, it's my treat."

Without further ado, taking this opportunity, Cangyue Yuri returned to the staff counter, intending to reorganize her thoughts and, incidentally, observe carefully what Ms. Haihara was trying to do.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got back, she felt a pat on the shoulder.

I turned my head slightly and saw Ms. Sakurai, who seemed very curious.

"So you really do know each other. You were in such a hurry just now, did she run away from school?"

Ms. Sakurai seemed quite interested in Cangyue Yuri's reaction.

"No, not exactly. This matter is a bit complicated."

After regrouping, Cangyue Yuri continued her previous thoughts without delaying her coffee-making progress.

She skillfully went through the steps of making coffee, intending to brew a hot cup for Haihara and then ask Haihara what she was doing.

Miss Sakurai was very understanding and didn't ask any further questions.

Next, Cangyue Yuri started making coffee for Haihara- san.

As far as I can remember, although Haihara doesn't like sweets, the instant coffee she drinks is surprisingly sweet, basically the same sweetness as a cappuccino.

However, while making coffee this time, her attention was inevitably diverted to Haihara's.

At this moment, Ms. Sakurai, who was standing nearby, said:

"A new customer just arrived, it's that kid who really liked you before. Do you want me to help you deal with him?"

Before Cangyue Yuri brought Haihara back, another customer came to the shop.

Shortly after she finished speaking, Cangyue Yuri realized who it was.

This matter isn't complicated, but it's still very troublesome.

Simply put, a young female customer at the coffee shop was being overly enthusiastic towards her; she had even given her, an ordinary working woman, love letters and greeting cards a while back.

But I didn't expect it to happen at this time.

"No need, I think I should refuse more firmly this time."

Although the other party was a customer, the coffee shop manager and senior staff were all very kind, so she didn't need to overthink it and could simply refuse normally in this situation.

"Thank you for your trouble. After this, there's nothing else for you to do at the shop. You can go and talk to her alone."

Ms. Sakurai said with a smile.

"She" naturally refers to Haihara- san.

After brewing the coffee, Cangyue Yuri carried two steaming cups of coffee to serve the customers.

The order was: first Ms. Haihara, then the other guest.

After delivering the coffee, she had to deal with the troublesome customer first, and it took her quite a bit of effort to explain things to him. Afterward, she walked back to the side and looked at Ms. Haihara, who was quietly sipping her coffee.

Haihara Lily Chou- Chou held the coffee cup in both hands, slightly raised her tired eyes, and said curiously:

"You're really popular with girls."

Clearly, Haihara had also noticed what had just happened.

For some reason, even though the other party was clearly just mentioning it casually, Cangyue Yuri felt a little guilty.

As Haihara elegantly sipping her coffee, Cangyue Yuri noticed that the knuckles of Haibara's delicate hands were red from the Haihara, standing out starkly against her pale skin.

Even after entering the coffee shop, Ms. Haihara was trembling slightly.

Is it any warmer?

"Um."

It's impossible to expect Ms. Haihara to tell the truth.

Therefore, Cangyue Yuri decided to see for herself what it was like.

She reached out and touched the hand that Haihara was holding the cup, then felt the cold back of her hand and could feel it tremble slightly.

"It's still very cold."

Cangyue Yuri immediately looked worried.

Why did you suddenly touch me...?

Haihara a little embarrassed, especially since she noticed other women in the café watching them from a short distance away, and she could hear their whispers.

The back of my hand still carries the feel of Cangyue Yuri's hand, a woman who is very tall and resembles a large wolf.

She overheard some of the hushed conversations of others:

"Huh... why is that child so close to Miss Cangyue?"

"Could it be his girlfriend?"

"Huh? I really couldn't tell. She's probably a younger sister or something..."

Seeing that the other person was holding her hand for a long time without letting go, Haihara inexplicably didn't pull her hand away.

After a short while, she raised her head:

"You're making it easy for people to misunderstand. Look, they're mistaking me for your girlfriend."

"That person just confessed their feelings to you."

She meant that Cangyue Yuri could probably take her hand away now.

After a pause, Cangyue Yuri, for some reason, began to explain without even realizing it herself:

"They're just guests... and I didn't agree to anything..."

It was as if they were afraid Haihara would misunderstand.

After a while, Cangyue Yuri realized that she had been a bit out of line and coughed awkwardly twice.

"Um?"

Haihara Lily Chou blinked.

Before Cangyue Yuri could say anything more, Haihara took another sip of her hot coffee and said:

"That's true, after all, you're my little girlfriend."

Cangyue Yuri's expression was still a little stiff from the awkward silence that had just passed.

"... Ahahaha."

She almost forgot.

In Haihara's eyes, this is how she is portrayed.

However, just as she thought that, suddenly, Haihara Lily Chou changed the subject.

She heard Haihara gently put her coffee cup down.

"Just kidding, that's probably fake."

"... Haihara?"

Cangyue Yuri had a bad feeling.

This scene seems vaguely familiar.

Although her appearance has changed, Haihara's Haihara now carries a faint smile, much like when she revealed her true identity after Belial was defeated.

"That's definitely fake, but I mainly wanted to avoid scaring you..."

Cangyue Yuri gave a dry laugh and tried to explain.

After a moment of silence, Haihara glanced out the window; the person she was waiting for hadn't arrived yet.

Then she looked at Cangyue Yuri was still touching her hand—

"But I remember you saying something to me back then, which I didn't believe at the time, but now it seems that it might actually be true?"

What did she say at the time?

Cangyue Yuri recalled something, and at the same moment, Haihara stared at the collar hidden beneath Cangyue Yuri's clothes:

"You said you are Magic girl."

Chapter 145 Infiltrating the Idol Agency

"Eh... huh?"

Cangyue Yuri's voice was stiff.

Being suddenly exposed takes time to process, no matter what.

However, upon calming down and thinking about it, she had a vague feeling several times before that Haihara- san would find out sooner or later, and might even have already realized it.

She tried pulling it a little more—

"That last sentence was actually a joke, did Miss Haihara take it seriously?"

Haihara Lily Chou's expression remained unmoved.

"Besides that, if you weren't a criminal, you couldn't just walk into my house and sleep naked next to me without being discovered, could you?"
