"Sit down, Mitsuha."

The afternoon sun is always so warm and bright in the small shop filled with rich mocha flavor and cream fragrance.

"Although it's my first time visiting this store—but——" Sanye looked around the interior of the store curiously: "But it feels like I've been here before..."

"Huh? Is that so?" Taki handed over the menu, "But the decorations of the cafes are all similar."

"Well, it must be like this." Mitsuba lowered her head and began to browse the page, "Actually, I was looking forward to coming to the cafe, because I lived in a small town at the time, not in a metropolis like Tokyo."

"A cappuccino—" Taki said to the waiter, then turned to look at Mitsuha: "Aren't you from Tokyo, Mitsuha?"

"Well," Sanye nodded slightly, "Then I want a muffin—if I use my pocket money from high school, it will take about three months① to buy the current muffin.②"

"Then it's my treat today," Taki smiled and took out his wallet and said to the waiter, "Let's count it together."

"But," Sanye looked at him and asked earnestly, "Isn't Taki still looking for a job? Let me do it."

"This..." Facing Mitsuha's kind reminder, Taki suddenly didn't know what to say: "Uh..."

"It's okay," Sanye took out his wallet, "Looking at Taki, he seems to be a few years younger than me."

"I'm 22 years old this year," Taki came back to his senses, "Where's Mitsuha?"

"Me?" Sanye put the change brought back by the waiter into her bag: "I'm 25 years old and have been working for three years."

"I see," Taki smirked for a while, baring his teeth, "I didn't expect Sanye to be my senior. It seems that I really have to work hard."

"Hehe," Sanye said with a slight smile, "You should call me Sanye—I can't talk about seniors. Also, women don't like being called so old by men."

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Taki realized that he had said something wrong again, and he couldn't help clasping his hands together in front of his chest in a bow: "I usually don't care about these things, Sanye."

"It's okay," Sanye smiled and stared at his fidgeting, and joked, "It seems that Taki is not used to chatting with women..."

"Ah? This..." Taki stroked his hair embarrassingly: "I guess... But... But... When I was working in an Italian restaurant in high school... I must have liked a senior..."

"I paid attention to some love cheats recommended for boys on my mobile phone before," Sanye raised her mobile phone and took a photo of the steaming muffins, and said naturally: "Yes. I recommend it for your reference, Taki."

"Oh..." Taki took a sip of coffee pretending not to care, and at the same time glanced at Mitsuha's expression, somehow his face became hot.

"Huh?" Mitsuha immediately noticed the slight change in Taki's expression, and naturally changed the topic to a more relaxed one: "The place where I lived in high school didn't have a coffee shop, only roadside vending machines④, which sold It's still the canned coffee."

"That should have happened nearly ten years ago." Taki also smiled: "Life has changed too much now, but I am very fortunate that this store is still there, and even the decoration is still the same as mine in Jingu. Even the design of the roof has not changed when I was in high school—my friends once told me that they admired the design of the roof of this store⑤.”

Jingu High School.

"Hmm..." Sanye lowered her slender eyelashes and sighed thoughtfully, "Yes, it has changed too much."

"Oh! Oops!" Hearing the chime of the clock on the wall, Taki got up and put on his briefcase in a panic: "I'm sorry, Mitsuha, I still have an interview below me, so I have to go first—I can do it today." It was a pleasure meeting you-"

"It's okay." Mitsuha also stood up, and took out a note and a pen from her bag, "Then leave me a contact information, Taki."

She spread the leaf-shaped sticky note on the palm of her hand.

Taki took the pen and left his phone number on the note—for a moment, he felt that this scene was so familiar.

"Taki," Mitsuha looked at his subconsciously outstretched palm, and frowned helplessly, "Aren't you still going for an interview? I won't write anything in your hand." She took out a sticky note again and wrote herself The contact information and handed it to Taki.

"Thank you," Taki put the note in his pocket and looked at the time, "Then I will take my leave today, Mitsuha."

"Be careful on the road," Sanye waved to his hurriedly leaving back, "I wish you success, Taki."

The figure in the gray suit had disappeared into the corner of the street, and Mitsuha sat down absent-mindedly, looking at the unused muffins on the plate, and at the note in her hand.

Deja Vu.

However, it should just be deja vu.
