HiMERU-kun ordered another cup of green tea.
It felt so weird for HiMERU-kun to order something like that! Normally, he would be so~ happy sipping his cup of coffee! I also saw him drinking cola from the vending machine sometime. Apparently, stupid Rinne-kun said cola is HiMERU's favorite drink on his idol profile, but he has never been as happy drinking cola as he is drinking coffee!
The green tea habit started all the way back, during that one stream which we guessed HiMERU-kun’s favorite drinks. He was all over Kohaku-chan giving him green tea despite Kohaku-chan guessing it wrong all over... At least HiMERU-kun was happy while drinking the green tea, and when food and drinks make people happy, I am happy - it isn't a problem unless he is unsatisfied with the food~!

At a table far away from HiMERU-kun, I brought a small salad and black tea over to Kazehaya-kun - ALKALOID was busy with school and personal work, so he was the only one today. This guy is such a light eater!
He thanked me and thanked God for the food. Normally it was just that, and he would proceed to talk to ALKALOID, but today, he smiled at me.
"Niki-san reminds me so much of the past" Kazehaya-kun chuckled, "I used to brew black tea for Jun-san and HiMERU-san all the time..."
"Kazehaya-kun did say HiMERU-kun was much more innocent back then, didn't ya~!" I was too dumb to react quickly, I only graduated middle school, so their high school life seems so alienated to me. I wasn't dumb enough to forget what he told me about HiMERU-kun when we were in Rinne-kun's hometown, however.
"Well, he was, and I still wonder what happened to him. I sure have been sinful" Kazehaya-kun took a sip of tea "There was this one time, he did give me this drink which I enjoy, and it made me so happy I gave him back many bottles of the same thing, but it wasn't anything like when we used to brew tea together..."
A little silence fell between us
"But Niki-san must know what is important too..."
This time, I was really too dumb to react.
"God blessed me with amazing friends along the way, and it seems like HiMERU-san is blessed too. As much as we used to share a path, I wasn't the right person for HiMERU-san, and so is HiMERU-san to me." Kazehaya-kun pondered a little, then looked again at me dearly with his idolly gaze while sipping more of the tea. "Niki-san, please continue taking care of HiMERU-san and everyone. Thank you for the little chat, God bless you."

“Shiina, can you give me one more cup of green tea for Oukawa? He has just finished work, he is coming right away.”
Urgh, HiMERU-kun! Kohaku-chan! Are they planning to rob me off all the green tea? And all my labour too! Well, I don't care, as long as Kohaku-chan is happy. And HiMERU-kun is happy. And Rinne-kun too, wherever he is, this hopeless guy is probably wandering around in a pachinko parlor somewhere, but he is happy.
I am happy too.
I am happy to be blessed with food everyday. To be blessed with friends who smile with me. Is this what Kazehaya-kun meant? He wasn't able to make HiMERU-kun smile with his black tea it seems, so it is now my turn making him happy, and making others happy too.
I am not good at anything else, so I will try my best to make people happy with food and drinks, HiMERU-kun included.
…
Wait a minute, wasn't the HiMERU-kun back then with Kazehaya-kun... HiMERU-kun's brother? The guy Kohaku-chan and I heard about in the hospital?
Well, I shouldn't think about it too hard. My brain capacity isn’t that big, after all~
I'll continue serving whatever HiMERU-kun wants, coffee, cola, green tea, whatever. As long as Crazy:B is happy and well-fed!
