It was fortunate that most of his classmates were okay. While they weren't that smart, they weren't bad either, including Sorata, Tagami, and Usa, so they all understood how to make various drinks and foods they needed to prepare for their cafe.
Naturally, they knew how precious this knowledge was, and they also gave him a lot of freedom during the cultural festival since they knew how busy he was.
After all, if there weren't any of his instructions, they knew their cafes would hardly be good.
"How is it? How is it?"
When they were in the middle of training, their homeroom teacher, Koharu Shirayama, came and asked them curiously. However, she wasn't alone since she also came with Chihiro.
Still, Shishio was already surprised by the appearance of the sudden guest, but why did Chihiro suddenly come?
"Our progress is good, Sensei. Oga-kun is amazing!"
"Yeah, try this, Sensei! This is our Dalgona coffee!"
"Dalgona coffee? What is that?" Koharu looked at the Dalgona coffee in a dumbfounded manner since it was so fancy that she didn't expect it to be made by her students. However, she didn't hesitate to try it, and she was surprised by how mellow yet sweet this coffee was.
"Delicious! Did you buy it at the cafe?"
"No, we made it ourselves!"
"Huh? Really? How did you make this?"
"We're using these."
"...really?"
"Yes."
Koharu looked at her glass again, wondering how an instant coffee could become so delicious.
Or was her taste comfortable with a cheap taste?
Suddenly, she felt conflicted.
"Serve me one, too, Shishio." Chihiro looked at her nephew with a smile.
"Yes, yes." He was speechless, but unlike before, he made coffee art.
"Huh?"
"What is this?"
"Why is it different?"
They started to make a fuss when he made something different from before.
"This is latte art. Be quiet for a moment. I am going to concentrate."
Everyone shut their mouths and watched him quietly, yet they were dumbfounded by the shape of his latte art.
Chihiro's lips also twitched when she saw the latte art which was prepared for her.
"It's special to you," he said with a gentle smile as he served his coffee.
Yet everyone also couldn't say anything since there was a huge heart symbol on the latte.
"...I am so jealous."
No one knew who said those words, but this described their emotions at this moment.
"...thanks."
Still, Chihiro accepted the coffee even though she was a bit embarrassed.
Watching her sipping the coffee, he smiled and knew that her mood had improved, but why did he feel his aunt's mood was kind of strange before?
He thought for a moment and wondered whether it was related to the cultural festival.
'Or has mom introduced her to some men?'
He suddenly thought about his mother's words, who told him that she wanted to introduce her to someone. However, if so, she should dress beautifully instead of being sloppy every day. She would also go out instead of staying at the house drinking alcohol or eating low-calorie snacks he made.
Sometimes, he also opened a yoga class, which everyone followed and joined, including Mayumi and Sayaka, since having an amazing writer as their teacher was something they couldn't miss. They also knew the benefit of yoga was good for their health and beauty, so no one hesitated.
Still, yoga aside, he wondered what he should do with Chihiro.
Unlike Hana, who was a married woman, Chihiro was his aunt and the little sister of his mother. The law might not forbid them to be together, and many historical figures also wed their aunts, yet he believed it wouldn't be easy to do this.
If he married Hana, while his mother might beat him up, his father might laugh at him.
The charm of a married woman was, without a doubt, and the feeling of stealing something from another man was just satisfying, especially when this woman would be crazy under you, forgetting her husband.
When he thought about how he could make the face of a virtuous and loving married woman turn into a lewd and dirty woman, it was just unbearable. That was also why he didn't let go of Hana until late at night. If Hana's body could handle him, he might not return until in the morning, spending all of his time with Hana.
However, it had been so long since Hana was fucked by someone, so her body was so sensitive when she was fucked by him. Still, she let him do whatever she wanted with him, and her reaction made her feel like he was drunk with pleasure, so he didn't hold back.
In the end, she passed out as she slept, so he stopped and left.
While he wanted to stay, Hana didn't want Yui to know their relationship, so it was better to leave, but he waited until she regained consciousness, telling her he was going home. Hearing his words, she kissed his lips tenderly before she slept peacefully with a happy smile on her face.
It was an amazing night for him, and he couldn't forge it, but then, Hana aside, since she was just a married woman, Chihiro was different.
If he really touched Chihiro, he knew that it wouldn't be strange if his parents beat him up, and they might even disown him.
No, if he wasn't the only child, he might really be disowned since it wasn't uncommon to see the child of a big family being disowned in this country.
If he gave an example, it was like the prince of England and the princess of Japan. They were all disowned by the royal family because they married a commoner. It was a common thing in high society.
Yukinoshita might also be disowned if he wasn't his fiance.
Still, with that kiss that they shared, he just couldn't forget about her.
"So, what's wrong?"
"Why can't I be here if I don't have anything?" Chihiro asked annoyedly when she heard his question.
'Oh, woman...'
He rolled his eyes at how troublesome a woman was.
"I thought that you were busy with something."
"It's okay. I don't have anything to do, so I follow Koharu here, but..." Chihiro looked at him and said, "If you open a cafe, I will definitely visit it." If the person who opened the cafe was someone else, she might not be that excited, but it was different if the person who opened it was Shishio.
She had eaten his food most of the day, so naturally, she knew how delicious it was. Still, she sipped her coffee since she wasn't going to waste it.
"Please come. Don't hesitate to buy anything here."
"Yes, yes." Chihiro rolled her eyes when this guy started to advertise his cafe.
As the two talked, Koharu looked at them enviously and said, "I am envious of your relationship. Having your nephew as your student seems great." After all, being an adult was a lonely thing. One couldn't meet their friends like they used to.
This also led to how women always wanted to find a lover since they couldn't stand the loneliness.
However, Koharu was single, so she couldn't ease her loneliness. Still, watching how close Shishio and Chihiro were, she thought it would be great to have a nephew, so she could have someone to accompany her.
Yet Shishio and Chihiro, the two, could only look away bitterly.
Was being a nephew and an aunt great?
If it was before, they might not think too much, yet as of now, they wished that they didn't have such a relationship, so that way, everything would be easy.
Chihiro took a deep breath and said, "All right, I will go back. I need to set up many things." A woman's mind was like this. Their mood was simply impossible to guess.
"Now that you mention it, your ex-boyfriend is going to become one of the guests at the cultural festival, right?"
Shishio was stunned, but he didn't show it on his face, only looking at Chihiro.
Chihiro also looked at him since she was startled, hoping he didn't misunderstand something. After all, her relationship with her ex-boyfriend wasn't that good, and everything had fallen apart, but when she looked at Shishio, his expression was rather flat.
She opened her lips before she closed them again. She could see that he didn't seem to have an interest, which made her sad and frustrated, and she also ridiculed herself since they were an aunt and a nephew. It was impossible for them to be together.
'What am I dreaming for? It's enough to have a dream when I was young. How old are you now, Chihiro?'
Even though she was in her 30, she didn't seem able to dream that her prince in white horse might come.
"Well, there are a lot of things that I have to do at the cultural festival since I am an art teacher, and many of my students want to display their art." Chihiro then looked at Shishio with a smile and said, "I am going back. Do your best with the cultural festival. I am waiting for the cafe, movie, and also the novel. See you later. Thanks for the coffee." She shook her empty glass before she put it down on the table and left.
Watching her back, he wondered why it felt so lonely. Right now, he wanted to stop her and hug her from behind.
"Sorry, I will leave. You can learn by yourself first."
"Eh?!"
"So sudden?!"
"Wait, Oga-kun!"
They were startled by his words since they wanted him to teach them more.
"By the way, I have prepared the SOP (Standard Operation System) on the table over there. Read it and learn, so you will know how to serve the customers and do various things during the cafe. Everything is ready. Don't be lazy!"
Leaving those words, he quickly left the class.
They all looked at each other before they looked at the SOP, which was prepared by Shishio.
Koharu also came and looked over since she was also curious.
They read the SOP quietly and believed their cafe would become the number one on the cultural festival.
Also, if Shishio made a cafe or a restaurant, they would definitely visit it.
He was about to stop Chihiro, but he didn't expect that someone would prank him at that moment.
"I caught you!"
"...."
He was hugged by someone so suddenly, feeling speechless, before he hesitated and sighed. He looked at this woman helplessly and asked, "Haruno-san, what are you doing here?"
