The more Trent teased her, the deeper shade of red Miharu's face began to turn. She shook her head.

"N-no, no, no, you don't understand! The person she's talking about is just my friend! N-nothing more!" she squeaked out.

"Pfft. As if," Ren murmured.

Miharu ignored her cousin and instead paid attention to Trent talk about his coffee. Likewise, she didn't get the reference at all and she instead tilted her head.

"W-wow! It is frozen! That's amazing!"

"Does this mean the thing that happened in Day After Tomorrow is finally going to happen?" Ren asked the tall young man. Miharu scowled but smiled upon turning to Trent.

"Well, Proctor-san, Ren and I were going to head to the coffee shop anyways to pick something up for my aunt."

"Coffee beans!" Ren yelled while oddly being able to keep her monotonous way of speaking intact. "Highly concentrated, caffeine-rich beans straight from the mouth of hell!"

Miharu smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, more or less," she said. "If you'd like, I can treat you to a new cup of coffee as apology for bumping you over. What do you say?"

"That's an awful amount of redness on your face for someone that's just a friend, Yoshikuni-san." It was very wrong for him to be doing that. Trent knew that his teasing - coupled with Ren's occasional comments - were making Miharu suffer, but it just so happened that the entire situation was too amusing for him to pass up on the offer of extending it further.

When the conversation turned to the frozen coffee in his hand and the small (well, the smaller of the two, anyways) girl asked him a question, he replied in a matter-of-fact way. "...well, if my powers become more potent, it might just happen."

He then raised his gaze as he realized just what he'd confessed to. Shit. Shit shit shit. Little girls can't be Persona-users - well, Yoshikuni is a special case, but she's technically not a little girl... For a moment the pale young man contemplated going back on his statement, but decided that it would possibly raise some suspicions from the girl... so he decided to go further. "Yeah. My powers. I may not look like it... okay, maybe I do, but I'm actually an extremely powerful sorcerer and I have a great dominion over the cold and the dark, so I can cause people to freeze in place and for them to be consumed by darkness if I so much as wish for them to... or maybe I just left this cup of coffee too long in the freezer and when I took it out it was solid."

The first explanation was so downright ridiculous that Ren would very possibly just assume it was all a lie and consider the second one to be the truth.

The two Yoshikunis then explained the reason for their departure. "...so, you put on rollerblades to go to a coffee shop. Right." The idea was just downright baffling to Trent. "Coffee grains straight from the mouth of hell? There's something I can get behind. I'm coming... I guess."

When Trent joked about being a sorcerer, Ren gasped.

"A sorcerer!?" she said in surprise. "Does that mean you can grant my any wish!?"

"He was joking," Miharu told Ren bluntly.

Ren frowned. "How dare you people raise my hopes like that?"

Miharu merely replied by petting Ren on the head. She smiled at Trent.

"Well, I have to practice rollerblading somehow," she said. "And I promised I would teach Ren."

"And you're very lousy at it, too," Ren added.

Miharu pouted but decided to ignore her and focus on Trent. "Don't worry, Ren and I switch back to shoes just before we enter the shop. Anyways, it's this way!"

Miharu pointed just straight ahead, but doing so made her lose balance for a moment. She wobbled slightly, making her apparently loose helmet droop in front of her face.

"Agh! I'm blind!" she squeaked as she waved her hands around. She began rolling towards Trent before bumping him again ever so slightly. Now, had Miharu been any taller, this probably would have meant her face smacking into his, buuuut fortunately she was more than a foot shorter than him and had merely run into his chest.

Ren slowly pulled her back and sighed. "Mister Slenderman, is there any possible way you can convince Onee-chan to not where rollerblades?"

Miharu slowly lifted her helmet and looked at Ren. "But we're practicing!" she said.

Ren frowned.

"Please use your magical sarcasm and aura of darkness to convince her otherwise," she said. "It will do both of us some good."

"You're thinking of a genie, kid." Astonishingly enough, Trent was actually sorta enjoying the presence of Ren, which was something that had never happened before - him outright enjoying the presence of a small child. "I raised your hopes because that's what the real world's gonna do pretty much all the time once you grow up so it's best that you learn your way around disappointment now. Today it's a sorcerer you meet on the street, in a few years it might be... classmates letting you down on a class project or something."

He shared the girl's opinion as she called Miharu's rollerblading lousy, but he wasn't going to speak up on the issue. "Okay, let's g... uh." The pale young man watched nonplussed as the lilac-haired girl had her helmet fall and cover her eyes, causing her to eventually bump into him.

Then, Ren called him Mister Slenderman and Trent nearly lost his shit. "...wow, Yoshikuni-san, slow down." He suddenly had an idea. "I didn't know I reminded you of your boyfriend enough for you to just wish to bury your face in my chest like that." This was just too fun and it was also too wrong.

Ren had continued speaking. Magical sarcasm and an aura of darkness... what. "That's not how magical sarcasm and an aura of darkness work. I think that if her boyfriend's like me at all and he's tried to convince her not to use those... things, then she's a lost cause."

Miharu's face shot red again and she started waving her arms around wildly.

"H-h-h-h-he's not my boyfriend! And th-that was an accident! S-stop being a meanie!" she squeaked.

Ren crossed her arms and looked to the side. "Yep, you're right. She's a lost cause."

Miharu sighed. Her mouth turned into an upward pout. "Hauu....let's just get going already."

With that, Miharu tried to skate as steadily as possible down the street ahead of them. A block seemed like a mile of death for someone like her, but they all somehow managed to get to the coffee place without any problem. The sign above read: Shirokuma Cafe and on the display window was a picture of a white bear holding a tray with coffee and treats.

Miharu seemed to have forgotten the small mishap earlier and beamed at Trent.

"Come on, Proctor-san, it's right this way," she said.

Ren cleared her throat and pointed at Miharu's feet. The girl blushed for a moment before sitting down on a bench, slipping them off and trading them for a pair of simple ballet flats. She then placed the skates into the bag and slung it on her shoulder.

She opened the door to the inside. The interior consisted of quaint polished wooden tables and chairs. There was a raised platform with bookshelves in one area and a few more tables with armchairs for seats. There was a steady crowd, but people were fortunately quiet and busy either reading books or working on laptops.

Miharu would guide Trent and Ren to the counter where a girl with long white hair and gray eyes was. Oddly enough, she had a cartoon rabbit mask on the top of her head.

"Goooood morning, folks! How may I help you!"

Miharu smiled. "Hi, Tomoyo-neechan," she said. "We're picking up the coffee beans Minene-san ordered, but also staying for a cup."

Tomoyo grinned. "Hehehe. Minene-san's going to regret ordering Black Death beans, but it's her funeral, not mine," she said. She then glanced over Miharu's shoulder. "Oh? You brought a friend?"

Miharu nodded. "Tomoyo, this is Trent Proctor. He's my schoolmate and transferred recently. Proctor-san, this is Tomoyo Sonozaki. She's a senior at our school."

Tomoyo made a salute. "Salutations! What can I get you today, Proctor-san? Black coffee? White coffee? Asian? Non-racist Panda coffee?"
"The coffee's really good here. I honestly like to go for their Black Death, but as I'm off caffeine, I'll be sticking to tea, but pick anything you like. It's my treat."

He tried his hardest.

He really did.

It was just unavoidable to stare at Miharu as she painfully tried to skate her way along the sidewalk. It was hilarious, but also cruel, but also hilarious.

Once they arrived at the shop, they ent--no, they waited until Miharu took off the skates and then calmly put on some ballet flats. Trent felt like murdering someone - why didn't she just do that since the beginning? It wasn't like she was teaching the other girl anything useful...

The pale young man had to admit that he enjoyed the atmosphere inside the store - perhaps he would begin coming here more often. When they were all led to the counter, he couldn't help staring at the rabbit mask on top of her head. Is this a thing in this store or...?

Then, Trent heard the order that this Minene-san person had placed and had to do a mental double take. Black Death beans. Who in the fuck even gives something you put inside your body a name like that.

"...hello." Before he could continue speaking, he was basically assaulted by several coffee options, and he was... far beyond baffled by them. Non-racist Panda coff--that's a joke, right?

He was somewhat surprised when he heard that Miharu of all people regularly went for this Black Death coffee. As much as he wanted some, he also wanted to know exactly what the girl behind the counter meant by Non-racist Panda coffee...

I'll just have both, I guess.[/i+ "...one cup of Black Death coffee and one cup of Non-racist Panda coffee for me." Asking the girl to not heat up the drinks was out of the question, so he simply decided that he would chill them later on.

Tomoyo perkily saluted at Miharu.

"Roger that, Mi-tan!" she said perkily. However, she gave Trent a wary glance. "Um...are you sure you want to try the Black Death, sir? This is your first time here, right?"

"The Black Death. It's LSD for the cardiovascular system," Ren said plainly.

Tomoyo lifted up the menu to Trent. "You should read the description before you're completely sure."

Under Black Death Coffee, Trent would read the following description:

Black Death Coffee utilizes the famous brand of Death Wish Coffee Beans as an espresso, making it highly concentrated and containing 200% more caffeine than an average cup. Black Death Espresso Coffee is strongly unadvised for those with medical conditions and/or weak caffeine tolerance.

At the end was this.

Before being greeted with his drinks, Trent was instead greeted with a rather serious warning from the girl standing behind the counter. Not only that, but another rather entertaining comment from Ren.

Wordlessly, he took the menu and read the description that it had on the order he had just placed... So it's just a cup of coffee with three times the caffeine? How convenient.

"...yeah, I'm sure. If I can handle hyper-concentrated energy drinks, then I think I can handle this." The pale young man returned the menu. "That's a rather sensationalist description you've got there, with the rating at the end."

He awaited what'd potentially be a cup of a thick sludge that was blacker than pitch.

"If you say so, sir! It's your funeral!" Tomoyo said a liiiittle too perkily.

Miharu smiled sheepishly at Trent and whispered to him. "You'll have to forgive Sonozaki-san. She's can be a little hyper in...odd ways."

"Look who's talking: the girl who wants to teach skating lessons when she can barely balance her own," Ren said bluntly.

"Eeeh...don't be so mean, Ren-chan."

Tomoyo had punched in the order and Miharu paid for everything.

"Just take a seat and we'll be happy to serve you your coffee!" Tomoyo said as she gestured to the empty chairs. "We hope you have a beary good time here at Shirokuma!"

Miharu beamed at Tomoyo. "Thank you again, Tomoyo-neechan!" she then turned to Trent as she held Ren's hand. "I think that seat over there by the books is nice. It's quieter and a little darker."

Miharu would guide Trent to the table that had upholstered chairs. To their sides were bookshelves they could casually pick out of to read while waiting. Warm amber light shone on them allowing for a milder mood than the tables near the bright windows.

"So, Proctor-san, I hear Mason-san's having a party at his place will you be attending?" she asked. She then smiled sheepishly. "After all, as a graduate student, you'd deserve to go to such a thing after three painstaking years of high school."

Hahaha... my funeral. Now that brings some grim memories back. His expression soured slightly as he got to think about the thing the girl behind the counter had just said, but he didn't have a lot of time to mull over the past, since both Miharu and Ren spoke.

And then the girl behind the counter spoke again. ...did she just make a pun.

Miharu offered to lead the group to a specific segment of the store. "...a little darker? So you're starting to know me better, Yoshikuni-san." Despite that, the entire environment was still rather well-lit and had orange light shining all over the place...

Once they sat down, Trent grabbed a book from one of the bookshelves and began idly perusing its pages, not really realizing what it was about, if it had any topic at all. His head perked up when he heard Miharu ask him about the party Bart was organizing. Ah. Yes. The party that I just agreed to go to the other day. Amazing. "...yeah, I'm going. He made a post in... that forum we use," he said while glancing at Ren slightly and thinking that the chances of her being a Persona-user were quite low, "and I just... sorta agreed to go once he said there'd be free food. Yeah." Satisfied with the excuse he had come up with for his assistance, he went back to the book... and noticed that he absolutely despised it. He placed it back on the shelf.
