Soma and Hina met again for the third time in a day. Soma took away his hand that touched her skin and Hina as usual began to show her displeasure. Knitting her brows together she took the manga that was in their hands in one fell swoop before walking from the place.
"No way!?".
Third time for the day. This situation that could only happen in manga was transpired before his eyes. As he is personally the one who was involved. There is no mistaking that luck status was involved in any of these situations.
Then the culprit of all the things that happened was himself. He sighs as he begins to feel guilty about ruining someone else's day.
He knew that Hina was still building the wall around him, it's obvious looking at her expressions on the day they met. She hates him.
Soma shrugged his shoulders started to ponder, and decided to purchase the manga he was familiar with and went far away from the area.
On the other hand, After purchasing the Manga she intended to buy. With a frown that etched deeply around her face and made the passersby avoid her because afraid of the trouble they might get.
With heavy steps, she stopped at a certain alley where there were a lot of people that stood on the side road while looking at their phones submerged in their own world.
Exhaling a few breaths to get rid of the irritation that built up, because of meeting the boy Hina took her phone and began to look at the time.
"Tch, it's still in the morning and I met him three times already".
Her mouth starts to twitch as she begins to think that she should change the place she walks around, probably this will solve the trouble that comes upon her this early in the morning.
"Yes, let's do that. Let's go to a mall that is a bit far away from this place".
After deciding what course she will take for the next place she wants to visit. She made haste and began to let her feet drag her to a place that was as far away as possible from the place.
Arriving at his next destination filled with a row of tall buildings and a crowded street, it was called the city that never sleeps. Soma visited one of the mall centers in Shibuya.
After he found the cause of the coincidence and met with Hina earlier, he chose the mall as his next destination. While pondering over the place he needed to visit he realized that the place he needed to visit later was urging him to use something easy for movement and if possible also wet resistance. Just in case.
Soma while browsing the mall explores every floor and every store that fits the bill in his eyes. He actually still has some sportswear in the closet, but after mulling it through he decides to buy a new one and it might probably be the best for him because he doesn't know how long he will clear the gate, so he buys it as a spare change.
A couple of hours had passed and Soma purchased what he needed.
Then he noticed that his stomach let out a growl as he still hadn't put something from morning besides some mineral water as his breakfast. It was not because he was too lazy to cook, but because it was already his habit to never eat breakfast and only fill his morning routine with mineral water.
He looked at the time on his phone and it was indeed the time for him to break his fast. So he looked at his surroundings to see if there was any cafe or family restaurant that caught his eye.
"This will do, yeah".
Hina after purchasing some clothes and enjoying some movement in the arcade earlier before visiting the mall. She turned up the phone and saw the time had already passed for lunch. It was already one o'clock.
"Let's find someplace to eat first".
She found a rather stylish cafe that she already looked up first on the internet, and found the place had a good rating. Because of the food, there was a top-notch in quality and quantity.
Pushing the door open and a ringing bell of the upcoming customer alerted the male clerk that is wiping some glass behind the bar. Hina hesitated at first because it was her first time visiting this stylish-looking cafe.
The dark interiors with a minimalist decoration entered her eyes, as she began to sweep around the place and found some piece of art that hung over the wall giving it the antique atmosphere.
A faint smile plastered across her lips as she inhaled the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and her mind was filled with anticipation of the menu they would offer. She found an empty soft spot that was decorated with a wood carving giving a private feeling, before relaxing. Then a woman in her late teens wearing a brown uniform with an apron adorned with frills approached her table bringing a tray in her hands that had a glass of cold water and a Menu book.
"Pleased to meet you, and welcome to our Avant Garde. Here is the Menu we had in the cafe".
Hina was overwhelmed by the waitress who suddenly talked in a fast manner as she put the glass of water first before handing the menu book to her. Hina could only reply with a nod then began flipping the page of the book pondering about the food she would order.
"I will have this Macha latte and this medium-sized fluffy pancake with extra cream and syrup please".
"Understood, one matcha latte and a medium-sized fluffy pancake with extra topping, Is that all?".
"Yes, please"
"Thank you for the order and please wait for a bit".
Hina after seeing the waiters leaving took the glass and tried to quench her barren throat. She put the tip of the cup upon her lips savoring the cold water, then saw the person in front of her table that was blocked by some wood carving with flower motifs, stood up, and left his seat before meeting eyes with Hina. Wide eyes Hina spurted the water content toward the person in question.
A splurt of waterfall danced in the atmosphere before it rained upon Soma's clothes and made the other people inside turn their gaze because of the commotion.
Soma stood there knowing the fact that this damn luck will happen again, and he already resigned it to the one responsible for managing luck out there.
"Why are you alwa..".
Before Hina could continue her words. A hand was raised and she shut her mouth shut as she saw Soma bring his finger to his mouth, saying.
"Let's not disturb the other, okay. I will leave the place anyway, have a good day".
Soma leaves the place with a calm face, and Hina just stares dagger at him all the time until the ring of the bell stops.
"Dear customer, please don't make any commotion".
The same waiter that received her order came back and she began to ask Hina politely about the commotion she caused.
"Ah, I am sorry"
Hina with a downed gaze apologized, but her heart was in great distress. The waiters notice Hina's attitude toward the boy before she tries to lighten the mood by cracking some jokes.
"Ufufu, Are you in a fight with your boyfriend?".
Hearing the word that entered her ears from the waiter's mouth. Her face hardened and Showed an ugly expression she never made in her entire life.
"Ha!! There is no way in hell that is true".
The waiters felt that she was stepping on a land mine and began to sweat but a salvation came from the clerk behind the bar.
"The order".
"Ah, it was your order miss let me take it first"
With a dampened mood she turns her gaze toward the window while clicking her tongue.
"Tch, What a nuisance, that boy is".
"Man that was terrible! I ruined her day".
Soma with a deprecating mood sat on top of the side of the road beside the machine devourer box while holding a black can that had a bitter black liquid inside. He is lamenting about what has transpired for the day.
Thinking back again he should just go home rather than walk around in place. But, his excitement after a while not going out to freshen his mind, clearly dulled his judgment.
Soma had a sigh, as he began to emptied the can content in his hands. He heard the sobbing of a young child catch his ears as he looked to the right side and found a lone girl in distress while looking at her surroundings where the passerby just kept walking and ignored her. She is in search of the figure of her parents.
He hurriedly stood up from his place threw the can in his hand toward the bin and jogged his way toward the crying girl.
The girl noticed that Soma approached her in a hurry. She began to stiffen her body, and when Soma was in front of her.
"Are you alone?".
The moment the girl heard that word She bawled her eyes out.
