The neon lights at night always cling closely to both sides of the street, and the two continued walking on their way home. The conversation just now had warmed the atmosphere around them quite a bit.
Hanamaru Hanabi followed Uesugi Sakura into a 7-Eleven convenience store.
"Welcome."
The store clerk, flipping through his phone at the checkout counter, habitually said as he looked up, smiling slightly at the two:
"Oh, it's Uesugi and Hanamaru. Good evening to you both."
"Hmm." Uesugi Sakura responded casually and went in to choose goods, while Hanamaru Hanabi waited in front of the checkout counter.
"Good evening, Tang."
Hanamaru Hanabi also nodded at the clerk, politely greeting him.
Noticing Tang Dongyun was still on duty today, there was some confusion, "Isn't Ms. Tabuchi on duty today?"
"Haha, nothing I can do," Tang Dongyun replied with a bitter smile. "Tabuchi-senpai seems to have caught a cold recently, so I have to cover for her a few more days."
