Just as Nao put the last of the shipment in its proper place, she heard someone talk at her from behind her.

As he was eating, Ikki asked him a question about his shop.

"Oh, my store? The store itself is new, but I've been doing something similar for a while now," Keisuke explained. "What about you?"
