Yes, I was in a proper café after a long time. Even the prestige café I visited in Sky Blossom City could not compare to this.
I passed a wall lined with cups and siphon brewers, crossed the checkered floor, and reached a tiny, marble-topped circular table that was realistically too small for two people to dine comfortably. It seemed deliberately designed to force couples to sit uncomfortably close to one another.
Just as I neared my table, my gaze fell upon a girl who appeared to exist in a different reality from the rest of the café. The light from the street outside, pouring in through the window behind her, was so bright that it formed a halo around her head and shoulders. Though we were indoors, a strange, gentle breeze lifted a few strands of her golden hair, causing them to drift upward as if she were submerged in water.
