Chapter 1: Inherited Feelings

He thought it would only be a normal afternoon after work with his subordinates. Discussing about the new target, Nutcracker and reminiscing his first encounter with Associate Special Class Suzuya giving him money. He was in the mood for coffee so he spoke up, "Let's get something to drink and then go home." He was treating of course and decided to bring up his hobby of going to coffee shops "I've been going around all the tasty coffee shops; it's been my hobby since I was rank 2. What will we run into today?" he merrily said.

To be honest though, he didn't know when it started but since coffee was the only thing he could enjoy, he decided going to different coffee shops to taste different excellently brewed and aromatic coffee with finely roasted beans. He enjoyed every one of it but whenever he takes a sip, he always had this nagging feeling, "It's not this" and would always think that he has tasted better coffe before but can't remember where.

"Re?"

"How should it be read?"

"Isn't it ri?

The name of the café was truly confusing it was ":re". The logo has a colon followed by the letters re. The upper dot of the colon was shaded black but the lower wasn't. Despite the weird name, he decided it would be better to go inside. "Shall we go inside?"

As he went inside, he was welcomed by the sweet fragrance of roasted coffee beans and immediately was allured by it. It was heavenly indeed and also judging by the aroma the coffee seems promising here. Mixed with the smell of old books which usually clams him was the aroma of the only thing he could enjoy with others. "This fragrance … This shop will surely have some good coffee. My nose kagune is whispering that to me." Truly the fragrance was overwhelming.

"Amazing RC cells," Shirazu complimented.

"Nose kagune?" Mutsuki gave a puzzled response.

Then he spotted a man behind the counter and said, "Look there's also an elegant man".

"Is he ignoring us?" Shirazu asked. "Aren't they suppose to greet the customer?" Then the voice in his head was screaming but he decided to ignore it as the man stared at him with wide eyes as if he's seen a ghost. He responded, "Maybe it's you see, not for first time visitors … But then we won't be able to order any coffee".

Then he heard a voice of a woman,"Hey!" He turned around, only to be faced with the face of a very beautiful woman. "How many times do I have to tell you…" she trailed and looked shocked as they were looking at each other's eyes and continued, "To greet our customers …" Then for once the suppressed side of him had completely quiet down and everything went blank.
