night.

Hongo II-chome.

La Reine Bar.

Sano Shino sat bored in front of the bar, swaying a cup of iced 75 in his hand.

This semi-alcoholic beverage that uses only gin as the base wine and adds some syrup, sparkling water and lemon juice is quite popular with female customers in the bar.

However, it is usually only one or two cups per person.

The bartender in front of the bar shaking the wine bottle under the slightly dim light, measured it with a measuring cup, then quickly introduced it in layers with a bar spoon, and finally rolled an orange into the cup.

The wine glass was moved to Shino Sano.

The bartender reached out and introduced: "Your Mimosa."

"It was ordered by the gentleman from Table 16 for you."

The sound is just enough to be heard in the distance without making a noise.

The mimosa in front of me is a low-alcohol fruit wine paired with champagne and orange juice. It is very easy to eat and is also commonly used by women.

Shino Sano half-squinted his eyes and turned his head, and saw a square-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiling and nodding at her.

Sano turned his head again and glanced at the shop manager who was in his forties and in his exquisite suit at the bar.

The manager rubbed the cup and knocked it twice on the edge of the cup without knowing the silence.

【You can do whatever you want】

Shino Sano immediately realized that he was cold and poured the newly brought wine in front of him into the ice bucket next to him, and put the empty wine glass aside. (Note: Don't do this)

This is considered rejection.

The man opposite couldn't help but look back with some disappointment.

The laughter of companions came from beside me.

Shino Sano didn't care at all, just drank alone.

Today, her identity is not a bartender, but an ordinary customer, and there is no need to deal with difficult customers without silence.

As for what dangers?

This store is all hers.

"jingle."

The store door is opened.

A woman about twenty years old, with a long hair dyed with a few strands of gold, came in from outside with a small bag on her back, glanced at the door a few times, and saw Sano sitting in front of the bar.

"Sino~!"

The woman strode over and greeted her and pulled a chair next to her to sit down.

"Riko!"

Shino Sano, who looked like a cold iceberg just now, immediately opened his hands pitifully and asked the girl to hug her.

"Not hug."

Riko pushed Shino away: "You attacked me every time."

"Hey? Who made Riko look so easy to rub?"

"I'm leaving!"

"No, no, kidding!"

Riko and Shino made a fuss, so they asked the store manager to order a cup of Manhattan, then turned to Shino and said, "So, what's the matter when I ask me to come?"

"In order to come and drink with you, I turned off my weekly Love time with my boyfriend."

"Oh, I didn't expect Riko to be such a woman who forgets her true feelings!" Sano Shino knocked on the table angrily, "Can you forget your good friend with a boyfriend? Bah, scumbag!"

"Ha? Why did it seem like I gave up on you all the time!"

Riko smiled and curled her long hair: "You don't need a man, I'll use it!"

"I don't want to post to you."

"Hey! In your eyes, isn't I the kind of guy who can make fun of any woman?"

Shino Sano waved his hand in disgust.

Riko looked very exaggerated.

"Hey?! Isn't it?"

"Start with you tomorrow night!"

"Please let me go."

"whispering sound."

"So..." Riko took the Manhattan handed over by the store manager and frowned, "Are you still staring at Yuki now and refuse to let go?"

Sano Shino was silent.

"You... Although that guy is a little strange, he seems to have any orientation, since she is obviously boring to you, don't just lie."

"If this continues, won't both sides feel pitiful?"

The two of them have known each other since childhood and know that Shino has been licking dogs before and speaks without hesitation.

Even straight to a little sharp.

Riko took another sip of wine: "You have to be able to afford it, Shino."

“…”

"This is the last time."

Shino shook the wine glass in his hand, as if trying to convince himself: "I'll try the last time."

"You guy, in some ways, are you a fool, right?"

Riko's verbal mockery: "Idiot."

"Then what? You asked me to come here just to discuss how to guide you?"

"How many times have you done this? We haven't succeeded, right?"

"No, that's not."

Speaking of the thing he wanted to complain about, Shino Sano's little face turned red.

"The strategy operation has begun."

“Hey!?”

Riko widened her eyes: "It's another straight ball confession? I rushed to Yuki and shouted out all my thoughts in front of everyone?"

"Then, how is that possible!" Shino turned his head with guilt, "Do I look that stupid?"

"It's not that there is a problem, but that I've done it two or three times, right?"

Riko remembered the scene she had seen before, and couldn't help but hold her forehead: "It all ended in a crushing defeat."

"As a result, you still refuse to admit defeat. You can say nothing of the nonsense that you can win as long as you persist, and then you can rush to help Xun get the bag every day."

"The kind that I can't listen to nothing I say."

When Sano Shino heard this, she couldn't help but glance away, feeling so guilty that she kept sweating.

I have to say that having a best friend who knows too much about his childhood is sometimes a very test of his psychological endurance.

——Especially the best friend who knows that he has all his dark history.

"Of course I won't be so stupid this time!"

"It's obvious that you have failed four times, how can you continue to use it?"

"Haha, haha..."

"Eh?" Riko was a little curious and put the wine glass aside, "What method?"

Shino Sano proudly inspired Shiina's style to make her curious, lured her to date, and teased her feelings, and finally told Riko the way she confessed.

Only 10 million things were omitted in the middle.

Riko was stunned.

"Hey, Shino."

Riko suddenly asked her very seriously: "You must have met some kind of love expert, right?"

"Ha? It's all my own..."

"Um--?"

Riko stared at him with a highly suspicious look.
