"Ohhh, it's hot!" Luka whined, waving her hand like a fan.
"Yeah." Meiko agreed.
"I know! Why don't we get some ice-cream? I know a really nice shop that just opened up~"
"Sure."
Meiko tailed her friend into a new building with working air conditioner.
"Welcome! How can I help you?"
Wait, Kaito works here?!
"Yes! I would like a double scoop cone with tuna sprinkle, please~" Luka said cheerfully.
"Coming right up!"
All Meiko could do was curse under her breath. 'I should've known she'd set up such a trap!'
"Mei-chan?" Kaito's voice snapped her back to reality. He held out a cherry cone to her. "You like this one, right?"
"Y-Yeah, that's fine I guess." Meiko took the cone.
"Thanks so much for telling me about this place, Kaito-san!" Luka said. "We'll be sure to come back!"
He nodded, but with eyes fixated warmly on Meiko. "Please do."
