Hi guys! Looking for experienced cleaners or type-setters to help with the

The next weekend I used the excuse of buying cake to visit Wakaba-chan
Her reeted me with a smile
“Oh my, welcome!”
“Good afternoon Thank you for everything, last time”
“Not at all! Thank you so much for the wonderful tea and coffee Are you here to see Wakaba?”
“Yes, but I planned on buying some of your cakes as well The ones I tried last time were simply delicious”
“Really? Aunty was a little worried that it wouldn’t suit the tastes of an ojousama from Suiran”
“That was not the case at all They were fluffy, and sithout being too sickening I could eat any number of them”
I had eaten two in a rohen I got home Then I waited a little while and ate the rest too They were great…
I wondered what I would bring home this time
“It makes me really happy to hear that Wakaba still hasn’t come back from her part-time job yet, but she should be back any moment so come on inside”
“Eh…? No, I really should not I think I will head ho here unannounced And to begin with oal was simply to buy some cakes”
“Geez, you can worry about the cakes later Do you have anything else going on today?”
“No, not particularly…”
As the Chief of Forever Alone Village, my weekends were almost completely free
“Then just stay! You’ve already come all the way here Don’t be shy now Wakaba will be back any moment now Okay?”
“But…”
“It’s fine, it’s fine”
After asking the other staff member to take over for a bit, she came out from behind the display counter
Taking my hand, she rather assertively ushered me into the house
As I headed in, I noticed an awfully expensive-looking flower arrangement in the corner of the shop
I had a bad feeling about it
“Kisshouin-san, wasn’t it? Come in, come in Here, sit down!”
After sitting ht out some black tea
“Sorry Not only have I arrived unannounced, I a trouble for you like this…”
“It’s fine! A friend of Wakaba’s has come all the way here to play, so this e Wakaba and let her know not to go on any detours”
“I truly aain
Not everybody had as much free time on their hands as I did, after all I was definitely in the wrong here for showing up without checking with her first
But since I was here to eat soht it would be nice if we could hang out a little
“Um, it is not much but…”
Karintou is a traditional japanese snack food Sweet and deep-fried, it is ar
I held out the box of assorted karintou
“Hht this be? Oh h Oh! It’s karintou How cute~”
There were different flavours like plum and chilli, and they were divided into cute little sacks The presentation was great It was one of my favourites
Plus, part of the reason I choose these was because I wasn’t sure if it would be rude gifting japanese sweets to a family that ran a cake shop
“If one in an instant Aunty will ed the bag with mock protectiveness
“Huhu!”
I liked this interaction It reminded me of my mum from my old life
“Wakaba’s shi+ft finishes at 2 so she should be here soon”
“Oh, I see”
It was almost half past then I checked
“How is Wakaba doing at school? Is that girl doing alright at a school like Suiran?”
Ugh! She hit where it hurt No way did she kno hard Wakaba-chan had it at school
“Yes Takarades are exceptional, and recently she even joined the Student Council, you know? She see splendidly with them”
“I see I’,” she smiled in relief It hurt to see
“I’m back!”
That hen Wakaba-chan caainst the floor as she ran into the roo off her scarf
“You said that Kisshouin-san came over?”
When she sawon the sofa, she smiled
“Welcome”
Her ised to her for intruding
“Since you’re here now, I’ll be heading back to the store,” said her ain before she left
“So what’s up, Kisshouin-san? Did you need so?”
“Well, no… I just wanted to eat soain because they were so delicious last tiht be nice to see you, was all”
“Oh okay Sorry foryou wait then”
“No, it ishere… I had no idea you worked though”
“Eh? Ahh, yeah Just for lunchtimes on weekends at a fa back from work too”
“Oh, I see”
That ti into the ikayaki huh
ikayaki flashbacks…
“Aah, I’et some curry If you haven’t had lunch yet, do you want some too?”
“No, but thank you”
“Really?”
Wakaba-chan stood in the kitchen and began heating a pot up It didn’t take long for the appetising smell of curry to waft over to me
Uu… my appetite…
From the rice cooker, Wakaba-chan spooned out rice onto a dish, and then on top of that she put her curry
Hauu, it looked so good
“Do you want a bite too?”
A bite… Just a bite wouldn’t be too shaht?
“Then, perhaps just a bite, since you offered”
