When I Saved a Girl Who Was About to Be Kidnapped and It Turned Out to Be a Princess Who Had Come to Visit in Secret
“–I’ll fetch you both something to drink. What would you like?”
While we were distracted by Luna, the girl sitting in front of us smiled at us.
She must be waiting for us, because the rest of us have already had our drinks.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll go get my own drink.”
At student gatherings like this, we often use the drink bar.
But Luna must not have used the drink bar machine.
She wants to do something that is typical of students, so I want to give her the experience, even if it is something trivial.
“Ah, you are free to use the drink bar, but if you want tea or coffee, you can order it from this menu. You see, this is a coffee shop.”
Perhaps having calmed down, the committee chairman held out the menu to me.
Indeed, since this is a coffee shop, you can order tea or coffee.
The menu should be delicious because it should feature not only cakes but also coffee and tea as well.
And Luna, who is royalty, might prefer tea.
I should probably ask her.
“Luna, what do you think?”
“Well, ……”
Luna looked at the menu and pretended to think.
But then she immediately looked at me.
“I would like to try the drink bar.”
Apparently Luna herself was interested in it and decided to turn it into a drink bar.
“Then, let’s go”
“Ah, …….”
When I was about to get up, Luna looked at the hands that were clasped under the desk.
As soon as her gaze turned to me – a lonely look on her face – she slowly let go of her own hand.
To keep up appearances, I guess she couldn’t get up from her seat with their hands still connected.
If she hadn’t let go, I would have let go, and the result would have been the same.
But – she was too much of a pampered girl and I wanted to spoil her.
No …… Luna is too cute and I’d want to spoil her right away. ……
If she’s trying her best to hold back and I can’t hold back and spoil her, there’s no point.
For now, let’s hold out until I get home.
And when I get home, I will spoil her a lot.
I thought about this as I walked with Luna to the drink bar machine.
Meanwhile, I felt eyes on me from all directions.
Everyone who had already finished getting ready was probably staring at me and Luna.
I wish they could just chat with us until the event starts – but since Luna is a pretty high-profile girl to begin with, that may be impossible.
And besides, people seem to be dying to hear that she’s engaged.
“–Here, Luna.”
I hand Luna a cup from the drink bar, trying not to pay attention to the people around me as much as possible.
“Thank you.”
Luna smiled and accepted the cup, then turned her gaze to the machine at the drink bar.
“The machine is full of buttons. ……”
