UP15“Irasshaimase” the greeting of an attendant echoed with delight when a girl wearing a black and white striped sweat pants, a black top and a pair of silver sneakers entered the shop.
Lowering the volume of her earphone, the newly arrived customer smiled at the attendant and headed to her usual spot and neatly sat at her favorite by the window chair.
“The usual?”
“Yes please.”
“Set B coming right up.”
“Thanks”
Moments later, the lively attendant came back with a tray. “A pair of our delicious pancakes with extra honey, and a cup of hot choco with extra marshmallows added on the side. And as always, limited drinking water is on the house. Please enjoy your meal Takahashi-san. I will be at that corner if you need anything. Just call my name and I’ll be here as fast as Superwoman because I am Linlinman.”
Grinning and letting out a few good chuckles, Ai slightly bowed and mouthed a thank you to the attendant who in turn bowed a little deeper than normal.
A few days after their trip to Eri’s place, this had become a part of Ai’s morning routine, breakfast at the shop after a morning walk. Leaving the house early and heading back home when Risa’s already leaving, and sometimes had already gone to school, became a habit. Because when the foster sisters returned home, some things have changed. There was an awkward gap, an invisible barrier in between them. But both refused to talk about it and went on with their lives avoiding tackling the issue. Risa got closer to Eri while Ai hung out with Reina from time to time. The first few days were not that easy because every time she’d arrived at an empty house, it made her feel that her heart’s being ripped out. But as days became weeks and weeks became months, she got used to it with some help of the attendant’s antics.
“Wait a sec. Is that a bruise on your neck?”
“Oh. It’s nothing Takahashi-san, I was careless last night.” replied Linlin as she hurriedly covered it up with her hand.
“May I take a look at it?” sensing that there’s something off with the bruise, she asked.
“There’s no need for you to worry Takahashi-san, it will heal in no time.”
“We’re friends right?”
“Of course, we are. And I’m very grateful that I’ve earned a friend here in Japan.”
“You trust me.”
“With my life.”
“Who’s the jerk that did that to you?”
“It was my fault.”
“You’re boss.” It was more of a statement not a question. From the start, Ai sensed something with the way Linlin’s boss’s treating her.
Linlin did not respond, she averted her gaze and looked at the floor instead. Her hand started to tremble as it tried to hide again the bruise, now by her shirt’s collar.
“Why not leave and find another job.”
“It’s not that simple. We still owe him some money.”
The door opened with customers coming in, and so Linlin excused herself to attend to the newly arrived customers.
...
“Headache again?”
“Different kind of headache.” Ai smiled as she handed her pay. “Can I borrow a pen?”
“Yea, sure” Ai scribbled something on a piece of paper before handing it to Linlin
“That’s my number. Call me anytime, okay?”
Staring at Ai’s eyes, she choked out a ‘Thank you’ and humbly smiled.

“Ai and I will go catch a movie, you wanna come?” Reina asked the other three at their usual place. They were eating sweets and sipping some smoothies at a cafeteria where they hang out almost every single day after school.
“No, we have other plan” was Risa’s reply which made Eri tilt her head and look at her with puzzlement.
“Aren’t we going to that newly opened shop you mentioned yesterday?”
“Oh yeah, I forgot. So, Sayu, shopping or movie?”
“I wanna go shopping but I wanna watch a horror movie with Reina.”
“I’m not sitting in the middle again this time. Please have mercy on my eardrums and my thin poor arms.”
Giggles erupted.
“But admit it, you like my hugs more than Aichan’s manly screams, I so could feel it without you telling.” A wink from the bunny then followed which made Reina cringed from her seat. “You are so blushing.”
“No I’m not!”
“Yes, you are” countered the bunny in a singsong manner.
”I’m afraid I can’t come today.” Ai’s statement silenced the ongoing bickering. All eyes on her.
“Don’t be jealous Aichan. I was just kidding… or not?”
“Silly” said Ai as she smiled at the Bunny’s remark.
“Shut up Sayu. Why?”
“I need to meet someone. It’s kinda important.” Ai said as she waved her phone before putting it back inside her bag and continued “I’m gonna eat out again tonight, don’t wait for me and be sure to lock the doors.”
“Un” was Risa’s short reply.

This was supposed to be the second to the last part but it's kinda hard connecting the two... so two more, I guess
