It Tells A Different Story

As Kentarou hear the suggestion of the idea for playing music together in the weekend, his thought is about how. And whose going to cover their shifts at that time? Well for that, Tomoko-san is already prepared and actually at the first time wanted to suggest them both to perform.
"I already knew you both wanted to perform! Ara ara, why don't you guys began your training?" She mentioned it while beginning to prepare the cafe for business. She also mentioned that the performance didn't have to go today, but at least be prepared for the next week. The cafe will be much more crowded next week, what she told them while opening the door after grabbing her phone outside. "W-w-well Kentarou-kun, it is still next week, what about we go home first and maybe talk about training later?" Asked Akira. "Yeah, let's go."

As both of them standing from the seat that is beside the window, the door behind Kentarou was opened. With a little help of the wind, the customer's hair was flowing and made her adjusting her hat for a bit. As Kentarou peeked through the main door, he was stunned to know that Riri was there. Akira stood and also surprised by her arrival.
"Ah.. h-hello Kokoro-san! Nice to meet you here!" Kentarou felt the awkwardness even through his glasses. The three of them were silenced for about a minute until Akira broke the ice. "Hello Riri-chan! What brings you here??"
It may be rude for some people if a greeting is not responded, but for Riri, she just felt really embarrassed. She responded to Akira's greeting by, "Hello Akira-san." After seating together, without Kentarou and his awkwardness, the both of them started a conversation. "I was just visiting this area, Shopping District Senjuro, and I," While Riri spoke, Akira interrupted with, "You mean Manjiro? Hahaha you always tend to forget the names of places." "Y-y-yeah! Haha, and i found this place and it is a really comforting place to read novels."
Between their conversation, Kentarou went behind the kitchen to go to the dishes and wash his face. What a weird thing to do when meeting a crush. He texted Akira,
"Hey, maybe do you want to jam the music tonight?"
Akira took a while to respond, and said, "Yeah, let's do it. But the curfew is at eight since my father will be home tonight." For once, Kentarou is introduced to Akira's father, which actually a musician himself. But the main difference here is Mr. Satoka is a classical genius, whereas both of them is barely getting what music means. Kentarou respected Akira's father and agreed with the curfew.
"Hey! Why don't you talk with Riri-chan now? You know maybe this can be a date" Texted Akira to Kentarou.
It took quite a while to respond again, and Kentarou replied with, "You know what? Let's begin our training in the afternoon." At the knick of time Akira felt happier than before. Kentarou replied again, "And... actually i am still discouraged after that greeting hehehe. Maybe in between our training, you can teach me again how to communicate with her??" Kentarou smiled for a while and for a moment, he felt as if that was the wrong message to send. But he is not a regretable person and went home first through the back door.

As both of the girls communicating at the lazy seat in front of the counter, Riri took the time to grab her book and read it. It was a novel that is actually taken the settings at about the 80s, it was an old novel, but not classical. She also mentioned to Akira that it is a science fiction novel, and it is her binge-read to wait her favorite manga chapter to be released. After about twenty minutes, Akira said goodbye and went back home.

She prepared the arrival of Kentarou at about 1 pm after lunch for their music training. After Tomoko-san induced a poll in their social media group, the song shall be "Suki ni sasete kuse ni" which is the J-pop song that is cool and calming. With other listed pop songs from the west such as Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran songs, but Tomoko-san didn't push them to sing it. It is because of the language barrier she said.

As Akira left the cafe, Riri looked at the place where the door to the kitchen appeared. She just kinda hoped that a certain someone will appear again. Riri went there to see Kentarou, yet the wind tells a different story.
