Minato Yukina,

The Vocalist and the leader of the girl's band called "Roselia". She may come off as cold and stubborn, but she's actually very passionate and caring at times. She understands her bandmates, and she almost know them by heart. She makes sure that they're playing at their peak performance and that no one gets left behind.

There may have been times when Yukina have made many selfish decisions in the past, but Roselia never threw her away.

Yes, Roselia is more than just a band. They're a group of friends who enjoy playing their bestest music together. And they're more than ready to let the world know that they're here.

But in all honesty...

It never came of to me that Yukina-san can joke around like that...

.

.

I bring out the two cats that we've previously rescued outside for Yukina-san and the other's to see.

"They we're actually sleeping, so I had to disturb them for a bit but.... Here they are." I said.

They all seem to be really fascinated by them.

Some were enticed, and some were worried by the wound of the two.

"Are their paws okay?" Shirokane-san asked.

She looked to be the one who was most worried.

"Don't worry, we did patch them up earlier. After a few days or weeks, they'll be able to walk properly again." I said to reassure her.

"That's good to hear!" She replied.

Oh god that endearing smile....

"But seriously Minato-san... You have got to phrase it better next time!" Hikawa-san told off Yukina-san.

"Okay then Sayo. I thought it was funny don't you think?" Yukina-san said.

"Eh?" Goes Udagawa-san, Imai-san and Shirokane-san.

Wow.

They're more shocked than me.

That definitely says a lot.

Yukina-san..... Isn't the type that jokes around.

And because of that, everyone took her seriously earlier...

"Anyhow Anon, we want to know more about the café itself." Yukina-san asked.

And so I sat down with them and told them about our shop.

"Welcome to NekoHasu! Our shop is a cat themed café filled with our playful and good company cats!

We serve food like cakes, donuts, tarts, pies, and even stuff like omurice and curry. We also have a wide variety of drinks! Nothing alcoholic though.

In fact, some drinks were concocted by me and my sisters!

Speaking of which, My family runs the café. My dad and I work in the kitchen with the dishes and cooking, while my sister's Ayase and Karin tend to the customers as café maids." I said.

Ayase and Karin then politely stood up to showcase their uniforms.

"The unique part about our café is not only do we cater to your relaxation and chilling via snacking and sipping, but we also offer a place where you can relax and chill with our feline friends!

These cats were raised by me, my father, and my sisters. While most of them are mine, we agreed to all take care of them together." I added.

"Onii-sama! You take home a lot of cats! Now you have 2 more cat's on your responsibility!" Karin said.

"I'm telling you! I got this! I've taken care of a bunch of cats all at the same time remember?" I said.

"Looks like we found an ally who is a Kindred of Yukina-san when it comes to these feline.....??" Udagawa-san said.

Wait, she can't finish her already odd sentence?

"Creatures..." Shirokane-san finished it for her.

"Creatures!!" Udagawa-san followed.

She had to repeat it?!

"But can you blame him? These guys are adorable!" Imai-san said while absolutely smothering EJ the Cat.

Must be lucky.

Anyways...

.

Soon after chatting, the café started filling in. My two sister's returned to their duties, and it was soon time for me to head back too.

"It seems like we're starting to get busy, do you guys mind if I leave you here for now?" I asked them.

"You're free to go now Anon-kun. We'll be fine here by ourselves." Yukina-san said.

"Alright then, call for me if you need anything~" I said and left them.

.
.
.

"Yukina! Don't you think we should hang out here a lot?" Imai-san said.

"Only if we have extra time after practice. Strictly." Hikawa-san said while patting Bauer the cat.

The guy's practically under a mind control at the moment. Eyes closed, tail slowly waving, head empty, all thoughts gone.

"Your words don't really match your actions Hikawa-san..." Shirokane-san said.

"I've shared a duty with Anon that we'd be taking care of these two. I would probably drop by every now and then to check up on them and to spend some time with them. But Sayo is correct, only if we have free time." Yukina-san said.

But despite how strict that was, everyone agreed on it.

"But hey Yukina, where did you even meet him?" Imai-san asked.

"When I found this white one, I decided to stay by it's side for a while. And then this black one tagged along Anon-kun just found us eventually." Yukina-san said.

"Could it be...?" Imai-san said.

"Was this the work of fate?!" Udagawa-san suggested.

"The two cats must already know each other. While the white one was there, the black one was out looking for someone to get help from. And by the time the black one left, Minato-san must've found the white one, while the black one found Anon-kun..." Shirokane-san theorized.

"That's probably the most plausible explaination." Hikawa-san said.

"Isn't that kind of cute? You and some boy you just met by fate are taking care of a cat together in a cat themed café! It's like something out of a shoujo manga!" Imai-san said.

"I'm sure it's nothing like that!" Hikawa-san stated her opinion.

"I don't know what it is. But all I know right now is that I'm dedicated to raising these two. But I can assure you that this wouldn't be a hindrance to practice." Yukina-san said.

"Don't worry Yukina! We're here to back you up!" Imai-san said.

"Indeed, we're here to lend you a hand on this matter. It wouldn't be so bad taking care of these guys every once and a while." Hikawa-san said.

"Everyone....." Yukina-san exclaimed.

She looked very thankful. Everybody knew that Yukina had trusted them and that they didn't let her down.

.
.
.

"Thank you." Yukina-san said.
