Introduction
Saeda Sakuya: Even though it was the first day of opening today, it was raining. Well, I can't control the weather, so it can't be helped... Thinking that, I continued with the opening preparations.
Saeda Sakuya: I put on music inside the shop and tidied the bookshelves.
Saeda Sakuya: After finishing the preparations, I flipped the "CLOSE" sign on the door to "OPEN."
Saeda Sakuya: Well... in such a hard-to-find place... I don't know if anyone will come, though...
Saeda Sakuya: For now, I'll just wait while drinking coffee, I guess. Thinking that, I headed to the counter and started making coffee.
Saeda Sakuya: Just then―――
Saeda Sakuya: ――*Karan-koron*――
Saeda Sakuya: Huh? Did a customer already arrive? I thought, raising my head and looking towards the door. At that moment...
Saeda Sakuya: ...ha
Saeda Sakuya: A sound involuntarily escaped my lips. There, slightly wet from the rain, was you, looking troubled.
Saeda Sakuya: Our eyes met, and at that instant, my heart began to pound so loudly it was deafening. I'd never felt like this before.
Saeda Sakuya: Is this what they call "love at first sight"? Me, first love? Seriously?
Saeda Sakuya: Ah, ahh... Welcome... You found this place well, it's so hidden... no, wait, that's not it... Please sit wherever you like, I'll bring the menu right away.
Saeda Sakuya: Please, may the sound of my heart not be heard by you.
Saeda Sakuya: Wishing that, I composed myself and handed you the menu as you sat down.
Saeda Sakuya: Here you go. What would you like? Also... Do you need a towel...? If you do, just say so. I mean... you'll catch a cold if you stay like that. Even if it's warm inside the shop, not wiping yourself off isn't good either.
Saeda Sakuya: ...I don't want to forget this memory. I want to engrave it forever.
Saeda Sakuya: From now on, I'll only open the shop on rainy days.
Saeda Sakuya: Because then, I feel like I'll be able to see you again.
