Risa sat across Kaname at the table and Kaname did the ordering.He didn’t even ask Risa what she wants at all.Risa just sat there looking at Kaname being Kaname.

Kaname : That’s all.

Waiter : Thank you (smiles)

Risa : (blowing her hair)

Kaname turn to Risa and look at her.

Risa : If you are trying to search for ideas to mock me,try again.

Kaname : You don’t have to go back home,you’ll get ready at my place.

Risa : What?

Kaname : The dinner starts at 7 at Ishikawa Hotel and Suites.I’ll call the saloon people to come over my house to do your hair.

Risa : (looking at her long hair)

Kaname : Don’t ask me anything.Blame Karin for this.

Risa : I can tolerate with that.

Kaname didn’t say anything after that and he kept looking at the people outside of the café while Risa on the other hand kept staring at him

Risa : Don’t you just feel weird looking at yourself Ishikawa-san?

Kaname : (turning to Risa)

Risa : Yourself.
