Yawn...... The bed was a little hard, but I sure slept well......
Today I'm supposed to go to the embassy sometime after noon. I wonder what I should do until then......
For now, I should get something in my stomach. I believe ther was a cafe nearby.
Mmm, it sure smells good. I guess I'll try here.
Um, excuse me. I'd like to order.
......Maybe he couldn't hear me? Excuse me! I'd like to make an order!!
......Is he intentionally ignoring me? What should I do......?
Ow!!
E- Erica...... She's bumping into signs even here.
That's it - if I ask her, maybe I'll be able to have my order taken.
Erica!!
Y- yes!! I- I'm sorry!
Uh- um...... Erica?
You're...... Mr. Ogami!? You remembered me!
W- well, of...... course.
What are you doing sitting at an empty table? Could it be some kind of Japanese ritual?
No...... that's not it. They won't take my order...... and I'm starving.
Huh......? This time it wasn't me......?
......Excuse me. That was me....... just now.
Heheheh...... I'll order something too! Excuse me! I'd like to order!!
I'll have pain au chocolat and hot chocolate! What about you, Mr. Ogami?
Well, then...... I'll have the same thing that person's eating over there.
Very well. A croissant and coffee, then. I'll bring it right away.
Thanks to you ordering for me, I can finally get breakfast.
The people of Paris are a little hard to please...... so they may be cold to people from other countries.
But, please don't misunderstand. There are a lot of people who are shy and just pretending to be cold.
......I see. Is that how it is. I'll keep it in mind.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Enjoy.
Ah, that's right, Mr. Ogami. There's something I've been thinking that was strange for a long time now.
Ah, that's right, Mr. Ogami. There's something I've been thinking that was strange for a long time now.
What does 'croissant' mean? Do you know?
I wonder if it doesn't mean 'crescent'...... They look quite similar......
I think that's wrong! That this should be 'crescent'...... God wouldn't allow it!!
Eeh!?! Telling me he wouldn't allow it......
Eeh!?! Telling me he wouldn't allow it......
Now then, let's eat! Wah, this looks so tasty!!
It's so good!
It's so good!
That's my coffee......
I'm sorry! I'll go ask for another one!
Erica!
I've done it again......
I've done it again......
What are you doing, Erica?
Erica? Who is that man?
He's Ogami Ichiro. Let's see...... He's apparently come from Japan.
Hm, a Japanese, huh...... You seem to be an acquaintance of Erica's, so I'll at least give you my name.
I am Glycine Bluemer. A proud noble with the blood of Normandy.
Ah, as for myself, I'm Ogami Ichiro...... I'm staying under the care of the Japanese Embassy.
And...... what have you come to France for? Sightseeing?
I'm studying abroad as a Navy Lieutenant. I've come to France to learn.
Studying abroad? A mere Japanese thinks he can learn of the culture of France?
Well, there's no need for you to exert yourself. No matter how hard you try to fathom it, it'll be impossible.
See, Glycine's got that you-know-what, right? That's why, when it comes to Japan......
Erica! Don't say anything that needs not be said.
......Ogami Ichiro or whatever, I don't care if you look around the city of Paris, but don't do anything to make a fool of yourself.
......Wh- who was that person?
Glycine? She's something like a senior to me, and sometimes she can be a little scary......
......Erica, did you call me? I had the feeling I could hear my name......
I- it's nothing! Ahahahahaha!!
I see...... And by the way...... 'croissant' means 'crescent.' Remember that.
Oh, my...... It's just as you said, Mr. Ogami.
That's impressive! You sure didn't come all the way to France to study bread just for show.
N......no, Erica. I came for a Naval study abroad, not to study bread......
Looks we made a mess of breakfast. I guess I'll order once more.
Excuse me, I'd like to order!!
Umm...... Could it be, you're angry?
Ahh, I'm sorry!!
Haah, whew...... Thanks to me, even you've been driven out of there too.
I've got it! To make up for it, please let me be your guide around town!!
Mr. Ogami, having come to this city, you don't know right from left from up from down, right!?!
Ah......yes, you're right. In that case, if you would.
I understand! Please leave it to Erica.
