2 Reading with the Demi

“Let me bring you to your seat right away. Is the counter seat fine with you?”

While asking the demi with large ears, I put down the tray by the counter. Nevertheless, I wonder where all of the customers just now went to. Though since the cost of their bills are properly left at the counter, it seems they went away willingly. But how weird is it for all of them to do the same thing.

Bewildered, I then felt a gaze upon me from a corner of the counter seats. Facing up, I could see the demi staring at me.

… Speaking of which, there was no reply when I asked if the counter seat is fine with him. Could it be that he could not comprehend the language? But based on the textbooks, the demis are able to comprehend our (humans) language… Whilst waiting with a smile on my face, the jackal-like demi then raised his left hand.

A fluffy and round-shaped beast’s hand. His hand with sharp black claws then pointed towards the latte on the tray.

“That, what is that?”

The voice of a young lad that was definitely owned by the demi in front of my eyes.

“This, latte you mean…”

“Then, I’ll have that. I do not need to be seated.” Looks like the demi requested for the latte.

“Well then, I will brew a new cup of latte” whilst saying so, the demi shook his head to the sides.

“That one is fine”

Somewhat surprised, I served the latte with its saucer. He then silently took the cup.

…Aaw, I wasn’t able to touch his fluffy hand… What a waste.

“Hey, why don’t you confirm the payments? Though I doubt there was anyone who dine and dashed.” The demi, slurping down the latte while standing, said to me.

Taking up his offer, I decided to confirm the payments and clean up.

“Then, if you would excuse me”

While confirming the payments left by the table seats, I also cleaned up the tableware. Even while doing so, I was much too curious about the demi. Within my sight, his tail swaying gently. My eyes could not help but chase after its movement. The demi, slurping down the latte while observing every corner of the shop, and then slowly he took ahold of the sandglass by the counter. Silently looking at it, he then flipped it and returned it back to where it was placed.

The shining jewel-like green sands falling down brightly, but the demi paid no attention to it and reached towards an untouched sandwich. After confirming its smell, he then chomped down the sandwich.

“Uhm, should I make a new one for you?”

“This is fine”

If said so, then it can’t be helped… I continued cleaning up while looking from the edge of my sight towards the demi who was chewing down the sandwich.

Finally at a point of finishing most of the work, the demi then called out to me.

“Looks like this place is as the rumors are. And are you the tenchou* here?”

“Yes I am”

As the rumors goes… I wonder what was that about? While in wonders, I nodded in response.

“Are you handling the business alone?”

“Yes, my name is Rhonya.”

“At such a young age. What about your family?”
