Uncomfortable Sonoko?
"Manager! A vanilla latte!"
Seeing that Chikako-san was not continuing that topic, Ran, who was relieved, delivered the order to Lynn. But, when she finished her work she found her friend's face was wrong.
"What's wrong Sonoko? Are you okay?"
Ran, who didn't know what happened, asked with concern. But Sonoko has expression complicated, and she finally sighed.
"I really can't compare to you, Ran."
Why does Sonoko's face look bad?
Sonoko heard Ran and Chikako-san's conversations. It is undeniable that Ran and Lynn are a good match together.
Sonoko had always felt that Kudo Shinichi would be the most suitable person for Ran. So, she often teased the two with this and made Ran blush. But she discovered today that Kudo Shinichi is not satisfactory. If Ran falls in love, Lynn is the most suitable choice. But the problem is, what should she do If Ran fell in love with Lynn?
"Huh? Sonoko, what are you talking about?"
Ran simply thinks that Sonoko is just not feeling well.
"I'm not sick! It’s okay, Look! Another guest is here!"
But Sonoko could never say what she felt in her heart. Once she did that, the kind-hearted Ran would care about her feelings and choose to alienate Lynn. That's not what she wanted to see. Even if Ran and Lynn finally got together because of this, she would never do it! After all, she is Ran's best friend!
While she is chasing happiness, she also hopes that Ran will be happy!
"Huh? What happened to Sonoko today? It feels weird..."
Looking at Sonoko, Ran tilted her head, frowned her pretty eyebrows, and looked puzzled. After knowing her for many years, she instinctively noticed something wrong with Sonoko, but she couldn't tell what.
"This coffee is delicious!"
"Yes, that's right! The best coffee I've ever drunk. Even former shop manager coffee can't compare to it!"
"Not only the coffee, but the cookies are also super delicious! The super-expensive dessert shop in front of the station does not as delicious as this!"
"Ran, Ran, did the store manager personally make these?"
"Okay... A handsome manager, good at making coffee and snacks. If only he could be my boyfriend!"
Lynn's coffee and snacks are naturally excellent. Because of this, every customer who enters the store will eventually become a captive of that delicious coffee and snacks. But some of the young women come because of Lynn's handsome face.
Look at the bar. Among them are the Onee-sama in OL costumes and JK in high school uniforms.
Most of them will order a cup of coffee and a small snack, and while enjoying the delicious food, they put their cheeks in their hands and admire the handsome store manager who is busy behind the bar. Once they got a response, their smiles couldn't stop.
"Our manager is too attractive!"
Sonoko was busy taking orders, but she never looked away from the bar. Looking at the female customers who were cleverly smiling, she gritted her teeth. She knows something wrong is going to happen. If Ran is robbing her man, that's fine, but those bitches? Don’t think I didn’t see it!
It's you! You just sneaked on Lynn's hand while he was not paying attention, right?
And you! You thought I didn’t see you slipping something silently?
And Lynn!
If someone harasses you, please be angry!
Why are you so unethical?
"Sonoko, are you okay?”
Originally, Ran was very worried about Sonoko's previous behavior. Now, she is even more suspicious. But this time, Sonoko's answer was the opposite of the last one.
"I'm not good! Very bad! There are too many competitors!”
She knows that Lynn will be admired by other girls too, But Following this trend, how many competitors will she have to face? The most important thing is, will she become the ultimate winner?
"A competitor? You mean..."
After hearing Sonoko's words, Ran followed Sonoko's gaze toward the bar. She suddenly realizes the problem.
"Lynn truly popular."
Although she has seen Lynn’s popularity at school, she didn’t expect it to be this way. After letting out a sigh, Ran looks at Sonoko with pity.
My friend’s road is full of thorns.
"It's over-popular! If I can, I hope Lynn can be uglier and less popular. At least I can still see opportunities."
Ran's sigh made Sonoko's mouth flat. But just after her utterance, Ran's rhetorical question made her subconsciously stunned.
"If Lynn was not handsome, would you still like him? Do you like Lynn's appearance, or do you like him as a person? After all, you and Lynn only met today."
Sonoko likes handsome guys. But she has never succeeded in dating one.
She was attracted by Lynn's wonderful appearance.
Sonoko Thinking back to Ran's words just now, look at the female customers in front of the bar. Sonoko suddenly thought of a question. What is the difference between her and those superficial women?
