Chapter 119: Crepe

Before Megumi could get her wallet from her purse, Hajime was already reaching his hands toward the lady, handing her the payment.

Everything shifted as if Megumi was watching a slowed-down movie. Her face, filled with shock, shifted towards Hajime who expressionlessly handed money to the lady without even batting an eye. It's as if he was expecting himself to pay, completely overlooking the immutable fact that it was Megumi who went out of her way to invite him. For some odd reason, he took it upon himself to pay despite his financial situation, not even consulting Megumi about it.

"Thank you so much, please wait for a couple of minutes. We do have some tables and chairs right here so feel free to take a seat while you wait." The lady warmly gestured, extending her hands towards the vacant tables and chairs that matched the atmosphere that the crepe stall radiated.
