It was October, and there was one day left until Tokai Teio's talent test.
Mejiro Sanfeng once again stood at the entrance of Shopkeeper Yayoi's small shop.
Standing at the entrance of Shopkeeper Yayoi's small shop, Mejiro Sanfeng looked at the shop.
She had been here many times.
Mejiro Sanfeng had even memorized the sound of the bell after the door opened.
However, not once had Mejiro Sanfeng been as nervous as she was now.
This was natural, because it meant she was about to learn the truth of everything.
And thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng just took a deep breath, then pushed open the shop door.
The aroma of food, mingled with a hint of warmth, wafted onto Mejiro Sanfeng's face.
Feeling this, Mejiro Sanfeng just fell silent for a few seconds, then walked into the shop.
"Shopkeeper Yayoi~"
She greeted the other person in her usual manner, then sat in the seat opposite Tokai, as always.
After completing this, Mejiro Sanfeng then spoke: "Shopkeeper Yayoi~"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Turning her head to look at the other person, Tokai's face showed a hint of confusion.
Mejiro Sanfeng looked at Tokai's face, thought for a few seconds, then asked a new question: "Do you know about Tracen Academy's Old School Building?"
"I know about it, yes. Why?"
Looking at the question the other person posed, Tokai became even more confused.
Because the question was simply too meaningless.
And noticing this, the girl just looked at Tokai: "I see."
"What's wrong? Why ask that question suddenly?" Saying this, Tokai placed a menu in front of the other person, then continued: "If it's about that person, there's no harm in answering you."
Listening to Tokai's words, Mejiro Sanfeng frowned slightly.
Clearly, there was nothing unnatural about Tokai's expression; she seemed genuinely unaware of the situation there.
And under such circumstances, Mejiro Sanfeng just thought for a few seconds.
Then she told Tokai the whole story.
Mejiro Sanfeng's explanation was simple.
So even Tokai could easily understand what the other person wanted to express.
"To put it simply, you went to the place where that person used to live to look for some things, and then you found this?"
Looking at the pattern on Mejiro Sanfeng's phone, Tokai just thought for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I haven't seen it."
Looking at Tokai.
Mejiro Sanfeng just sighed with a headache: "As expected, you don't recognize it."
Looking at Mejiro Sanfeng's words, Tokai didn't say anything.
Because Tokai remembered the pattern on Mejiro Sanfeng's phone.
It's just... she couldn't remember too many details.
Only a few memories surfaced; as for more things... "How should I put it, when I was little, I had a high fever that led to several illnesses at once. Because of these reasons, my memory is a bit blurry from that time." Saying this, Tokai shifted her gaze to Mejiro Sanfeng.
Tokai had no intention of mentioning that she had an impression of it.
But Tokai also didn't want to disappoint the other person, so she offered this explanation.
And upon hearing Tokai say this, Mejiro Sanfeng just fell silent for a moment, then took her phone back.
"I see, so it seems you don't have any related memories either. Then Luna, what exactly is..."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng sighed helplessly, then picked up the menu Tokai had placed in front of her.
The desserts on the menu hadn't been updated, and the chilled cake Tokai had prepared last time wasn't there either.
Noticing this, Mejiro Sanfeng just sighed: "Shopkeeper Yayoi isn't putting the chilled cake from the last trial into the menu?"
"No way, because it's too much trouble."
Saying this, Tokai shifted her gaze slightly, then continued: "That thing is very troublesome to make. If it were on the menu, while it wouldn't be a loss, it would be very tiring."
Seeing Shizen say that, Mejiro Sanfeng also recalled Shizen's preparations that day and nodded in agreement.
Watching Mejiro Sanfeng nod,
Shizen merely buried the slight sense of familiarity that had appeared just now deep in her heart.
Then she shifted her gaze slightly: "What do you want to eat?"
"Uh, sour... honey muffins."
"Changed to honey, huh."
"I'm not in a good mood today, so can't I eat something sweet?"
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng looked at Shizen with a plaintive expression.
Facing her gaze, Shizen merely nodded: "Of course you can."
After speaking, Shizen began to prepare the honey muffins.
Honey muffins and yogurt muffins are actually quite similar.
Because the two items are very close in nature.
It's just that the ingredients have been changed to honey.
So, it didn't take long to make.
In fact, it was surprisingly quick.
Before long, Shizen placed a plate of honey muffins in front of her.
"They look so shiny."
"Because the yogurt was replaced with honey." Shizen said, pausing briefly, then continued, "Aren't you going to continue trying to figure out what that person did?"
"Hmm, I did plan to, and the work of gathering information hasn't stopped, but how should I put it..." After cutting off a piece with a dining knife, Mejiro Sanfeng spoke with a helpless expression: "Luna's matter is too troublesome to investigate."
"I see, then it seems you've been very tired these past few days."
Facing Shizen's words, Mejiro Sanfeng merely nodded: "Yes, I've been very tired, but now I've basically finished searching."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng put the piece of muffin impaled on her fork into her mouth: "Mmm~~~ So delicious~"
"As long as you think it's delicious. After all, your taste matches most Uma Musume, so if you think it's delicious..."
Shizen didn't finish, but Mejiro Sanfeng understood Shizen's meaning.
So, she just looked at Shizen: "Then I'll be the test subject."
"You're the taste tester."
After correcting the error in her words, Shizen continued: "But, I don't think I need to pay the taste tester's salary, right?"
"No need, because what you made is really delicious."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng looked at the muffins in front of her: "Shopkeeper Yayoi, you must make good desserts then."
"Enen, I know."
